"Xiao Feng, come out. It's time to awaken your martial soul."

"Got it."

A child walked out of a dilapidated room.

He was strikingly beautiful, with a round, fair face and skin as delicate as a porcelain doll's.

His eyes were large and bright.

He was undeniably a cute little handsome boy.

Yet there was a trace of melancholy in his eyes.

"Finally, it's time to awaken my martial soul. I wonder what kind of martial soul I'll awaken."

Xu Hanfeng sighed softly.

He was not originally from this world. He had accidentally transmigrated to the Douluo Continent.

His parents had also died a year ago.

Fortunately, he did not think like a child, or he would never have survived.

The village he lived in was poor, and no one would help him.

His parents' martial souls had not been anything special either—a sickle and a hammer.

And he had no cheat either, which made things even worse.

Not to mention going up against Tang San—he did not even have the qualifications to do so.

Still, everything would have to wait until after his martial soul awakened.

Tang Hao had only recently been expelled from the Clear Sky Sect, and Tang San was about the same age as him.

He arrived at the village's Spirit Hall.

There were not many children awakening their martial souls, only five or six.

"I am Su Yuntao, a Soul Grandmaster. Today, I will awaken your martial souls."

Xu Hanfeng's eyes lit up at those words.

His cheat had arrived.

The famous blind Douluo, Su Yuntao.

A useless martial soul... I'm definitely going to get a useless martial soul.

If there had not been people nearby, Xu Hanfeng would have wanted to kowtow to Su Yuntao several times and beg him to bless him with a trash martial soul.

"Martial Soul Possession!"

After entering Martial Soul Possession, Su Yuntao looked extremely fierce, frightening several children into running away.

This was also Xu Hanfeng's first time seeing Martial Soul Possession. He had to admit that it was imposing, though somewhat ugly.

He hoped his would be a Tool Martial Soul.

Su Yuntao was somewhat surprised to find Xu Hanfeng calmly watching him.

There was actually someone who was not afraid. He had potential—it was just unknown what martial soul he would awaken.

He dragged the children back and began awakening their martial souls.

"Martial soul: sickle. No Soul Power."

"Martial soul: Blue Silver Grass. No Soul Power."

"Martial soul: Wooden Sword. No Soul Power."

The repeated declarations of no Soul Power made Xu Hanfeng nervous.

He had already transmigrated. He could not possibly live an ordinary, unremarkable life, or would that not make this transmigration pointless?

Su Yuntao remained expressionless. This sort of situation was far too common.

They were all children of farmers, with no powerful bloodline inheritance. How much luck would it take for them to awaken a martial soul with Soul Power?

"Child, it's your turn."

Su Yuntao looked at Xu Hanfeng.

Xu Hanfeng nodded and walked into the hexagram.

Su Yuntao immediately injected his Soul Power into the stones.

Suddenly, a golden light appeared and enveloped Xu Hanfeng.

Xu Hanfeng only felt that the golden light was exceptionally warm and comfortable.

"Child, open your right hand."

Following Su Yuntao's instructions, Xu Hanfeng slowly opened his right hand.

Specks of light emerged.

In the blink of an eye, a thick, heavy book appeared in Xu Hanfeng's hand.

The book looked thick and weighty, but Xu Hanfeng did not feel any weight at all. It seemed to float above his right hand.

The book's cover was made of dark golden metal. It bore all kinds of patterns—people and soul beasts.

But there were no names.

A clear, translucent gemstone was embedded at the top of the cover.

The gemstone was extraordinarily beautiful. On closer inspection, it seemed as though stars were flowing within it, giving off a faint blue glow.

The edges of the pages were inlaid with silver patterns. Every page was as thin as a cicada's wing, yet looked exceptionally resilient.

"What a pity. It's a book."

Although Su Yuntao thought the book was beautiful, books were all useless martial souls.

"Big brother, I still want to test my Soul Power."

Xu Hanfeng did not think his martial soul was ordinary. This book looked anything but simple.

"Books are useless martial souls. It's impossible for them to have Soul Power. But since you want to test it, go ahead."

Su Yuntao took out a crystal ball.

Xu Hanfeng placed his hand on it.

Suddenly, the crystal ball erupted with light, which grew brighter and brighter.

"Gasp... How is this possible? A book actually has Soul Power?" Su Yuntao was stunned.

"Damn! Innate Full Soul Power!"

Su Yuntao was dumbfounded.

Xu Hanfeng, however, was overjoyed.

This was his real cheat.

This book was definitely extraordinary—Innate Full Soul Power!

How weak could a martial soul with Innate Full Soul Power possibly be?

"Sigh... What a pity. Innate Full Soul Power, yet only a book martial soul. Child, would you like to join our Spirit Hall?"

Su Yuntao still extended an invitation, considering Xu Hanfeng had Innate Full Soul Power.

"No, thanks. I only have a book martial soul."

"Sigh... I suppose so."

Su Yuntao patted Xu Hanfeng on the shoulder and left.

Xu Hanfeng had no desire to go to Spirit Hall right now.

That place was full of crazy Love Brains.

Even if he went, it would have to wait until he was strong enough.

Once outside—

Xu Hanfeng was stopped by the village chief.

"Village Chief, is there something you need?"

The village chief looked at Xu Hanfeng, greed flashing in his eyes. "Xiao Feng, our village has a Work-Study Student quota. Do you want it?"

Xu Hanfeng sneered inwardly. If I don't take it, won't you be able to sell the quota to someone else?

"Grandpa Village Chief, I'm not sure. Can I tell you tomorrow?"

"Sure, hehe."

Xu Hanfeng immediately left. He needed to study his martial soul and had no time to waste talking to him.

Watching Xu Hanfeng's departing back, the village chief's expression immediately turned cold.

"That brat really is lucky, getting Innate Full Soul Power. But it's only a book martial soul, completely useless.

Haha... This time, I can make another huge profit."

Back in his room—

Xu Hanfeng immediately summoned his martial soul.

"Such a gorgeous cover. I have to admit, it looks really nice."

When he opened the cover, Xu Hanfeng saw the first page.

A strange expression appeared on his face, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Good lord, whose martial soul comes with an introduction to itself? It even has instructions on how to use it. This is seriously insane."

Xu Hanfeng complained.

Even so, he was delighted.

This meant he would not have to research his martial soul himself. He could simply understand it directly.

Xu Hanfeng's martial soul was called the Douluo Compendium.

A martial soul named after Douluo was naturally no simple thing.

This martial soul...

Xu Hanfeng would call it a wife-raising summoning manual that transcended time and space.

The Douluo Compendium's main function was to use Soul Power to draw Douluo Cards related to Douluo 2, Douluo 3, and Douluo 4.

These Douluo Cards came in many different types.

For example, Character Type, Spirit Bone Type, Spirit Skill Type, and so on.

After the categories—

The cards in each type were further divided into Permanent Cards and Consumable Cards.

Permanent Cards allowed Xu Hanfeng to permanently gain the corresponding spirit skills, spirit bones, and so on.

Consumable Cards could only be used once.

Aside from Character Cards, all other cards had to be drawn.

The permanent cards for Character Cards were not drawn, but activated.

Furthermore, Character Cards had no consumable versions.

This was extremely unique.

He needed to fulfill the special requirements of the corresponding card before he could activate it.

However, Xu Hanfeng currently had one chance for a random activation.

He could randomly activate one Character Card.

What surprised Xu Hanfeng most was that Character Type cards could only draw female characters.

That was simply... delightful.

Who liked men? Weren't pretty girls far better?
