Sword Cultivator (Martial Soul Sword Fifteen --> Xuanyuan Sword) + harem
Xiao Tian, who loved collecting all kinds of famous swords, was accidentally reborn into the world of Douluo and began practicing swordsmanship from a young age.
However, after his Martial Soul awakened, Xiao Tian was fortunate enough to bind to a system.
After Xiao Tian accidentally stepped on and killed a blade of grass by the roadside.
Ding, congratulations, Host, for slaying an Eighty Thousand Year Old Blue Silver King. Reward: heaven-defying comprehension. Innate Soul Power raised to Level Ten!
Listening to the system prompt in his mind, Xiao Tian stared blankly at the ordinary Blue Silver Grass beneath his foot.
Was there something seriously wrong with this system?
Inside Nuoding Academy.
Xiao Tian looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had come to enroll, then stared in confusion at the system prompt.
Warning! God of Slaughter Tang Hao and the hidden Lord of the Douluo Star Plane have been detected nearby. Host, flee immediately to avoid mortal danger!
Warning! God King Tang San detected. Asura Sword Scabbard Xiao Wu detected. Stay away from Xiao Wu and do not make any excessive moves, or you will already be on the Way of Seeking Death!
Looking at the system that had arrived ten thousand years early, Xiao Tian had already figured out how to crush Tang San, fleece the system for rewards, and lead all the women to the pinnacle of the Sword Path!
Warning, Eighty Thousand Year Old Blue Silver King Detected!
Fasnuo Province.
Jianghun Village.
On the mountain behind the village, a handsome young boy with sword-like brows and starry eyes continuously swung the Wooden Sword in his hand, his gaze exceptionally resolute.
"Xiao Tian, why are you still practicing swordsmanship here? Lord Soul Master, who is responsible for helping with the awakening, has already arrived. If you miss it, you'll have to pay someone yourself to awaken your Martial Soul!"
At that moment, an anxious voice came from nearby.
"Village Chief Grandpa, is it that soon? Then let's go now."
Xiao Tian put away his wooden sword, walked over to the village chief, and helped him up.
"You brat, why are you so unconcerned about your Martial Soul awakening?"
The village chief spoke as though he hated iron for not becoming steel.
Xiao Tian said indifferently, "Village Chief Grandpa, there's no use rushing. Awakening a Martial Soul depends on one's bloodline. I'm just an unwanted orphan. It doesn't matter what my Martial Soul is. The sword in my hand is enough!"
As he spoke, a glint flashed through Xiao Tian's eyes. "Oh, right, Village Chief Grandpa. Didn't you say before that once my Martial Soul awakened, you'd give me a longsword? I don't want to keep using a Wooden Sword. It just doesn't feel right."
The village chief smiled helplessly. "Alright, alright. I'll give it to you once your Martial Soul awakens. I prepared it for you long ago."
He did not understand why Xiao Tian had loved longswords so deeply since childhood. He could only hope that the boy would awaken a decent Martial Soul.
Most villagers in Jianghun Village awakened Martial Souls related to forging. He wondered what Xiao Tian would awaken.
Why did Xiao Tian take this Awakening Ceremony so lightly?
Naturally, it was because he was a transmigrator. No, more accurately, he was a reincarnator. Ever since he could remember, he had awakened the memories of his previous life.
In his previous life, aside from enjoying all kinds of web novels, he loved practicing swordsmanship and collecting famous swords. It could be said that he was deeply devoted to the way of the sword.
Unfortunately, his previous life had been the so-called "Age of Dharma Decline." When he learned that he had been reborn into the world of Douluo Continent, he did not know whether to feel happy or worried.
He was happy because this was a world where one could cultivate. He was worried because this was a world that depended on bloodlines!
Martial Souls were inherited through bloodlines!
If ordinary people wanted higher Innate Soul Power, mutation was their only option!
This left Xiao Tian somewhat disappointed. However, he suddenly remembered one of the few geniuses in Douluo Continent who had risen against the tide. The one who left the deepest impression on him was Ji Juechen!
Ji Juechen had only Innate Soul Power Level Three, yet he had forcefully cultivated all the way to become a Titled Douluo through his comprehension of the Sword Path. Why couldn't Xiao Tian give it a try?!
So, from the moment he could remember, he had pestered Village Chief Grandpa to make him a Wooden Sword. Every day, he did nothing but practice swordsmanship. He did not even let it leave his side while eating or sleeping!
Therefore, he did not care much about what his Martial Soul would be, or even whether he had a system.
After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!
Very quickly, led by the village chief, Xiao Tian arrived before a house specially built by the village for Martial Soul awakenings.
"Lord Soul Master, everyone is here. Sorry to trouble you." The village chief smiled at the Soul Master.
Xiao Tian took a look. Oh, what a coincidence. Wasn't this the Blind Douluo, Su Yuntao, from the original story?
Su Yuntao said somewhat impatiently, "Alright, no need for nonsense. After helping you awaken your Martial Souls, I still need to rush to the next village."
"Alright, children, follow Lord Soul Master inside to awaken your Martial Souls. I hope you awaken decent Martial Souls." The village chief did not dare delay and hurriedly spoke to the children who needed to awaken their Martial Souls.
Inside the room.
"Children, no matter what happens later, don't be afraid. My name is Su Yuntao. I am a Level Twenty-Six Soul Grandmaster and your guide."
Su Yuntao tried his best to appear gentle as he took six jet-black round stones and a crystal ball from his package.
After arranging the six black stones into a hexagon, Su Yuntao motioned for the first child to stand inside.
"Sickle Martial Soul. No Soul Power."
"Hammer Martial Soul. Innate Soul Power Level One."
"Nail Martial Soul. No Soul Power."
"..."
As the Awakening Ceremony proceeded, it was finally Xiao Tian's turn.
At Su Yuntao's signal, Xiao Tian took a deep breath and stepped into the six-pointed formation.
Though he had acted very calm before, he could not help feeling nervous at this moment.
Although he had already planned out a backup path for himself, who would not hope for a better Martial Soul and higher Innate Soul Power? At least it would make future cultivation easier.
Then, guided by Su Yuntao, a rusty Iron Sword suddenly appeared in Xiao Tian's right hand. As if he sensed something, Xiao Tian subconsciously said, "Sword Fifteen?"
Su Yuntao looked at the Iron Sword in Xiao Tian's hand and frowned. "This rusty sword is called Fifteen? What a strange name. Since it's a Sword Martial Soul, there's a high chance that you possess Soul Power. Let's test it first."
When he said that last sentence, a trace of excitement entered Su Yuntao's voice.
He had already helped several villages awaken their Martial Souls during this period, but without exception, not a single person had possessed Soul Power.
Still, he could understand it. Due to their bloodlines, commoners had a relatively low chance of possessing Soul Power. Yet he was inevitably disappointed.
But Jianghun Village was different. Every year when he came to help awaken Martial Souls, at least one person possessed Soul Power. That was already quite good.
Xiao Tian looked at the rusty sword in his hand. Was it the Sword Fifteen he remembered?
If it was, then even if his Innate Soul Power was somewhat low, he might still have a chance to defy fate!
Moreover, Xiao Tian could clearly sense that Sword Fifteen possessed spirituality. It truly deserved to be called the Sword Spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword, didn't it?
He had never expected to awaken such a special Tool Martial Soul. No, Xiao Tian believed this could be considered a Wisdom Martial Soul.
Just like the Wisdom Soul Rings invented by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm ten thousand years later!
After all, among the Sword Martial Souls he knew, even Jian Daochen Xin's Seven Kill Sword could not possibly possess spirituality like Sword Fifteen.
If this truly was that Sword Fifteen, then its most fundamental difference from other Tool Martial Souls was that Sword Fifteen could move on its own without his deliberate control, while other Tool Martial Souls could not!
Of course, he would need to test that after the Awakening Ceremony ended.
With that thought in mind, Xiao Tian placed his hand on the crystal ball.
"Innate Soul Power Level Five!"
This surprised Su Yuntao. He had not expected an inconspicuous Iron Sword to grant Xiao Tian Level Five Soul Power. When he had awakened Lone Wolf back then, he had only possessed Level Two Soul Power!
As for this result, Xiao Tian was already very satisfied. Innate Soul Power Level Five was not bad, and it was a Sword Martial Soul as well. He could try cultivating properly and see whether he could cultivate Sword Intent like Ji Juechen.
Ding, congratulations, Host, for awakening your Martial Soul. The system has come to bind with you.
Ding, warning. An Eighty Thousand Year Old Blue Silver King is nearby. Host, evacuate immediately, or you will be in mortal danger!
Xiao Tian: ???
Holy shit, was that for real? Xiao Tian immediately became vigilant, though he was also puzzled. Wasn't the Blue Silver King usually guarding the Blue Silver Ancestral Land? Why would it appear in their little village?
"System, is there any way around this?"
Ding, no. However, Host need not worry. Blue Silver Kings are generally mild-tempered and will not attack proactively. Of course, if your luck is bad, I can only replace you with another Host.
Xiao Tian immediately felt that this system was terribly unreliable. Still, he felt that something was wrong with what it said. No matter how he looked at it, their village could not possibly have a Blue Silver King. There was plenty of Blue Silver Grass, though.

Sword Fifteen, First Grasp of Sword Intent
After Su Yuntao led everyone out of the room, he looked at the village chief and said with a smile, "Village Chief, quite a few Soul Masters with Soul Power awakened in your village this year. There are three in total, and one even has Innate Soul Power Level Five. Though his Martial Soul is only a rusty Iron Sword, that is still extremely good."
Then Su Yuntao looked at Xiao Tian with a smile. "Little fellow, are you interested in joining Spirit Hall and studying at Spirit Hall Academy?"
Su Yuntao invited Xiao Tian. As a commoner himself, he knew very well that Spirit Hall was absolutely the most suitable force for commoner Soul Masters.
When the village chief saw Su Yuntao's gaze fall on Xiao Tian, he immediately understood. It seemed Xiao Tian had awakened a Martial Soul Su Yuntao liked.
Though it was only a rusty sword, with Innate Level Five, becoming a Soul King would not be a problem if he cultivated normally.
The village chief himself was also a Soul Master and knew well that Martial Souls would more or less change after Soul Rings were added. Moreover, he was a blacksmith, so he naturally knew that Xiao Tian's Sword Martial Soul would not remain a rusty sword forever!
Adding Soul Rings had a certain chance of changing a Martial Soul's appearance and even strengthening it.
"Xiao Tian, what do you think?"
The village chief was not in a hurry to make Xiao Tian join Spirit Hall.
Every year, whenever Soul Masters with Soul Power awakened in their village, Su Yuntao would invite them as long as their Innate Soul Power was above Level Two. The village chief was already used to it.
However, since most Martial Souls awakened in their village were related to forging, many people ultimately chose to study at a nearby academy, then returned to work at the village blacksmith shop after graduation.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Tian gave Su Yuntao an innocent smile. "Lord Soul Master, I want to see the outside world first. If I get the chance in the future, I'll go to Spirit Hall."
Xiao Tian's rejection surprised Su Yuntao, but there was nothing he could say.
He thought Xiao Tian was indeed a little too naive. The child yearned for the outside world, but the outside world was not so friendly to commoners.
Forget it. After Xiao Tian hit a wall, perhaps he would go to Spirit Hall Academy on his own. It would be good for him to gain some experience outside.
Afterward, Su Yuntao bade farewell to the old village chief and headed toward the next village.
Xiao Tian truly did not want to enter Spirit Hall too early. He was more curious about what was going on with this system, and if he had the chance, he wanted to meet the people of this world first.
Douluo was commonly known as the Continent of Romance, after all.
In his previous life, aside from collecting famous swords, he also enjoyed admiring beautiful women!
Hehe.
The old village chief also respected Xiao Tian's choice, so he said, "In that case, I'll give you our village's Work-Study Student slot. In three months, you can attend the nearby Nuoding Academy."
Xiao Tian hesitated slightly. "Village Chief Grandpa, wouldn't it be inappropriate to give the slot to me? Others in the village also awakened Martial Souls and Soul Power..."
"Hahaha, who told you our village has only one Work-Study Student slot? Nuoding Academy only has one slot, that's all. Alright, don't worry about it. Come on, follow me to the blacksmith shop. Didn't you want a longsword?"
As he spoke, the village chief looked at Su Yuntao again and slightly bowed in gratitude. "Thank you, Lord Soul Master, for coming every year without fail to awaken Martial Souls for our children."
Ding, an Eighty Thousand Year Old Blue Silver King has been detected near the Host. Please proceed with caution!
Xiao Tian followed the village chief to the blacksmith shop. Along the way, the Crazy System kept reporting that a Blue Silver King was nearby, but all he saw were Blue Silver Grass growing everywhere. Where was there any sign of a Blue Silver King?
Xiao Tian shook his head in annoyance and did not want to pay it any attention.
