Long after leaving Sacred Soul Village, Tang Yin asked the system, "System, has my old man been following me?"

Host, Tang Hao has not been following you. His location has remained in Sacred Soul Village.

Tang Yin did not know whether to say Tang Hao was too carefree or that he trusted him too much. Was he really planning to stop caring about him? "That works too. System, use the Awakening Potion."

Host, I do not mind if you use it here, but there are still humans nearby. I suggest you use it in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Fine then. System, locate the Star Dou Great Forest for me." Since there were people around, Tang Yin could not fly there and could only walk there step by step. "Finally, the Star Dou Great Forest. System, I'm going to fly now. Keep watch on the surroundings." Spiritual energy then enveloped Tang Yin's entire body, slowly lifting him into the air. He carefully controlled himself as he flew forward, reaching a secluded spot before saying, "System, use the Awakening Potion."

The Awakening Potion has been used. It has been detected that the host's martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, can be awakened. Beginning awakening.

Blue Silver Grass frantically sprouted from the ground and wrapped around Tang Yin, growing taller and taller until it finally formed a towering blue tree. Everything then fell silent. After a long while, immense power erupted from within the tree. The intertwined Blue Silver Grass slowly spread apart and retracted. Tang Yin gradually emerged from within. His originally jet-black hair had turned blue, mixed with several golden strands, and now reached his calves. His eyes had also become blue, emitting a faint golden glow. He looked very much like Ah Yin now. In short, he looked even more like a girl. He discovered that he could feel the joy radiating from the surrounding Blue Silver Grass. It was a very novel sensation.

Only after quite some time did Tang Yin remember. "System, open my personal panel."

Host: Tang Yin Race: Half Soul Beast (Elf/Blue Silver Emperor) (You have completely stopped being human.) Age: 6 (You are still a hatchling. Do not think too much. You cannot handle it.) Strength: 100 (A normal adult is 10.) (You are not human. What is there to be proud of for being stronger than humans?) Agility: 100 (A normal adult is 10.) (You can finally run faster than a dog.) Spirit: 200 (A normal adult is 10.) (You will not be scared to death by ghosts. Believe in yourself.) Martial Soul One: Blue Silver Emperor (Awakened) Soul Skills: None (Awakening Skills: Blue Silver Domain, Withered Wood Meets Spring) Martial Soul Two: Kabbalah Tree of Life Soul Skills: None Abilities: Life Affinity Max, Flight, Emperor of Blue Silver Grass Evaluation: You now have value in staying alive. Keep up the good work.

The panel was finally somewhat presentable, but that evaluation was still full of things to mock. What did it mean, he could finally run faster than a dog? "System, what do these Awakening Skills do? I know about Blue Silver Domain, but what kind of skill is Withered Wood Meets Spring?"

Withered Wood Meets Spring: A healing-type Awakening Skill. It heals the injuries of oneself or others (excluding poison) and purifies curse-type Soul Skills. At its strongest, it can heal the dead and regenerate flesh from bone. In other words, as long as they are not dead, Host, you can save them.

"Damn, that's a god-tier skill! With this skill, wouldn't I be able to swagger everywhere?" Tang Yin was stunned. Was he going to become invincible right from the start? No, this skill was useless against poison. Wait, poison? Tang Yin remembered the poison-using legend from the original story—the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo. He seemed to have an Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well too. Right, he would go find him.

Just as he was about to get up, Tang Yin remembered something. "System, I'm a Half Soul Beast, right? Will those Titled Douluo hunt me down?"

They will, but the host will not produce a Soul Ring or Soul Bone after death.

"Then what is the point of my Soul Beast identity? To attract hatred?"

The host can produce Soul Rings independently, and they can grow.

"I can produce my own Soul Rings? And they can grow? That's great! I'm too lazy to hunt Soul Beasts."

...The system felt exhausted and did not want to speak. Having such a host was truly helpless.

Tang Yin then realized that he was only Half-level now, so he could not attach a Soul Ring!

Host, you are already level ten. Your Innate Soul Power was previously only Half-level because the awakening of the Kabbalah Tree of Life consumed it. Your Innate Soul Power is also level ten.

"That's way too inconvenient. System, can you add Soul Power to my personal panel too?"

It can be done... Addition complete.

Host: Tang Yin Race: Half Soul Beast (Elf/Blue Silver Emperor) (You have completely stopped being human.) Soul Power: 10 (You are not even a Soul Master. Why are you dreaming of becoming a Titled Douluo? Hurry up, wash up, and go to bed.) Age: 6 (You are still a hatchling. Do not think too much. You cannot handle it.) Strength: 100 (A normal adult is 10.) (You are not human. What is there to be proud of for being stronger than humans?) Agility: 100 (A normal adult is 10.) (You can finally run faster than a dog.) Spirit: 200 (A normal adult is 10.) (You will not be scared to death by ghosts. Believe in yourself.) Martial Soul One: Blue Silver Emperor (Awakened) (Awakening Skills: Blue Silver Domain, Withered Wood Meets Spring) Soul Skills: None Martial Soul Two: Kabbalah Tree of Life Soul Skills: None Abilities: Life Affinity Max, Flight, Emperor of Blue Silver Grass Evaluation: You now have value in staying alive. Keep up the good work.

"This is much more convenient now. System, how do I attach a Soul Ring? Also, can you hide my Soul Beast aura?"

The host only needs to circulate Soul Power to attach a Soul Ring. As for hiding your aura, that is possible, but it will require one year.

"Then I can only stay in the Star Dou Great Forest for a year." He then sat cross-legged and slowly guided his Soul Power into motion. It did not take long before a purple ring rose from beneath his feet—a two-thousand-year Soul Ring. When he switched to the Kabbalah Tree of Life, a white Soul Ring appeared beneath his feet. "A ten-year Soul Ring? You have to be kidding. How is that possible?"

This is not a ten-year Soul Ring. The Kabbalah Tree of Life martial soul is very special. This Soul Ring has no age limit. It is the first Sephirah of the Kabbalah Tree of Life, Kether. Its strength depends entirely on the host's own usage.

So that's how it is. Looks like I'm still pretty outstanding. Tang Yin thought with satisfaction. Then the system came out and poured cold water over him.

Host, you are an elf. Your physical strength is naturally greater than that of humans, so a two-thousand-year Soul Ring is already the worst possible result. Moreover, Host, your combat experience is zero. You are basically frail as a twig.

"Uh... you do not have to hit me that hard. So the evaluations on the personal panel are really just your own thoughts, System." Tang Yin suddenly came to his senses.

The host must have misheard. This system did not say anything. The system hurriedly played dumb.

"Hmph, I'll remember this, stupid system." Tang Yin said resentfully. "All right, let's see what Soul Skill I got."

Host: Tang Yin Race: Half Soul Beast (Elf/Blue Silver Emperor) (You have completely stopped being human.) Soul Power: 10 (You are not even a Soul Master. Why are you dreaming of becoming a Titled Douluo? Hurry up, wash up, and go to bed.) Age: 6 (You are still a hatchling. Do not think too much. You cannot handle it.) Strength: 100 (A normal adult is 10.) (You are not human. What is there to be proud of for being stronger than humans?) Agility: 100 (A normal adult is 10.) (You can finally run faster than a dog.) Spirit: 200 (A normal adult is 10.) (You will not be scared to death by ghosts. Believe in yourself.) Martial Soul One: Blue Silver Emperor (Awakened) (Awakening Skills: Blue Silver Domain, Withered Wood Meets Spring) Soul Skill: Soul Skill One (2000 years): Spirit Array - Entwine. Blue Silver Grass can be generated anywhere within a ten-meter radius of the user. The growth and entangling of the Blue Silver Grass can be freely controlled. (Awakening Skill: Absorbs a small amount of Soul Power from those entangled.) Martial Soul Two: Kabbalah Tree of Life Soul Skills: None Abilities: Life Affinity Max, Flight, Emperor of Blue Silver Grass Evaluation: You now have value in staying alive. Keep up the good work.

"Damn, this is practically a god-tier skill!" Tang Yin was ecstatic. This Awakening Skill was practically the otherworld version of Deep Forest Emergence!

"Oh right, System, I remember I still have several lottery draws, don't I?" Tang Yin suddenly remembered his remaining draws.

Host, the beginner's gift pack previously gave you ten chances. Including the one reward chance per month, you have a total of thirteen lottery draws.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's do a ten-pull first." Tang Yin waved his hand grandly and gave the order.

A golden roulette wheel appeared before him. Its pointer spun rapidly, and the screen displayed:

"Thank You for Your Patronage" "Thank You for Your Patronage" "Thank You for Your Patronage" "God-Tier Cooking (S-Rank)" "Thank You for Your Patronage" ... "Thank You for Your Patronage"
