"Was that it?"

She discovered that in this simulation, she, a Soul Saint, had been humiliatingly defeated by Tang San, who was still only a Soul Emperor.

Qian Renxue was deeply dissatisfied and wanted to simulate again.

Ever since her Martial Soul Awakening, she had been busy preparing the Regicide Plan and had never seriously developed her martial soul or practiced her soul skills...

Perhaps she truly had been unable to fully unleash the strength of a Soul Saint with the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul.

But no matter what, she should not have lost to a Soul Emperor, right?

She even had a Martial Soul Avatar!

[Simulation End, Cooldown Time: Seven Days!] [Please use again after seven days.]

Qian Renxue desperately wanted to simulate again, but the Simulator was still on cooldown and could not be used.

This left Qian Renxue extremely frustrated.

But she could only wait for the Simulator to finish cooling down before using it again.

Elsewhere, at the border of Fanos Province in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Nuoding City, Maple Forest Village.

It was once again time for the annual Martial Soul Awakening.

Inside a thatched cottage in Maple Forest Village, this year's Martial Soul Awakening was underway.

Within the shabby, crude house,

a young man who had entered Martial Soul Possession and transformed into a wolfman stood surrounded by one white and one yellow soul ring, conducting Martial Soul Awakenings for the children lined up before him.

As the boys and girls in line stepped one after another into the Hexagram Martial Soul Awakening Array, they awakened their martial souls under his guidance.

The famous Blind Douluo, Su Yuntao, sighed as he announced each child's Martial Soul Awakening results.

"Wang Erya, martial soul: mop. No soul power."

"Lin Hu, martial soul: Scythe. No soul power."

"Ye Shan, martial soul: Black Pot. No soul power."

As a deacon of the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch, Su Yuntao was only in his twenties and had not been employed there for long. He was still a newcomer.

New employees always had to do the dirty and exhausting work.

Ever since joining, Su Yuntao had been responsible for conducting Martial Soul Awakenings in the villages around Nuoding City.

At first, Su Yuntao had genuinely believed the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch Master's sales pitch and thought this was a promising job.

As long as he awakened a genius with Innate Soul Power above level five and recommended them to the main hall,

he would receive a handsome reward!

Then, becoming the next Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch Master, marrying the goddess Sisi, and reaching the pinnacle of life would all be just around the corner!

But after only a few years, Su Yuntao had gone numb.

Because he had discovered that when awakening the martial souls of children from these villages,

forget about awakening a genius with Innate Soul Power above level five.

Even awakening a single Soul Master with soul power was practically a luxury...

But there was nothing he could do!

As a newcomer, Su Yuntao had no way to quit this job.

He could only keep working while clinging to the hope that perhaps one day, his luck would explode and he would awaken a genius with Innate Soul Power above level five.

After all, no child cried every day!

"Next!"

At last, it was the final child's turn.

He was a little boy dressed in worn linen clothes. His skin was wheat-colored, and he had short black hair. His features were fairly delicate, but his eyes held a maturity far beyond his age.

His name was Ye Luo, and he was a Transmigrator from Blue Star.

In his previous life, Ye Luo had been an ordinary college student. After graduating straight into unemployment, he had searched everywhere for work.

But on his way to an interview one day, an out-of-control semi-truck suddenly rear-ended Ye Luo from behind.

In his final moments, Ye Luo had heard murmurs such as, "I thought it was a speed bump!" "Hey! Good thing I have insurance," and "We're all trying our hardest to live..."

When his consciousness awakened again, Ye Luo discovered that he had transmigrated and been reborn as an infant.

Later, he learned that he had transmigrated into the world of Douluo Continent, a world he had known well in his previous life.

Still, Ye Luo was quite depressed about it.

Because in this life, he had only been born into an ordinary rural family.

His father had been a hunter who also gathered herbs while hunting, and their family had originally lived a fairly decent life.

But while hunting one day, his father had tried to pick several dendrobiums growing on a steep cliff face, accidentally fallen off the cliff, and died.

Not long afterward, his mother had succumbed to grief and exhaustion, dying of illness as well.

Only Ye Luo remained.

Fortunately, Ye Luo was a Transmigrator. Although still young, he had barely managed to care for himself and tenaciously survive.

But Ye Luo felt troubled about the upcoming Martial Soul Awakening and held almost no expectations.

Because on Douluo Continent, martial souls were inherited through bloodlines.

For the most part, a person's future was decided from birth.

In this life, Ye Luo's father's martial soul had been a Scythe, while his mother's had been Blue Silver Grass. Both were Trash Martial Souls.

Ye Luo knew that the martial soul he would awaken next would basically be one of those two.

Following Su Yuntao's instructions,

Ye Luo stepped forward into the hexagram array and closed his eyes.

Beside him, Su Yuntao rapidly clapped his hands, sending streams of green Soul Power into the Six Black Round Stones that formed the hexagram array.

In an instant, dazzling golden halos bloomed, forming a golden barrier of light. Countless golden motes scattered out and flowed continuously into Ye Luo's body.

After a while,

when he saw that Ye Luo's body was no longer absorbing the golden motes, Su Yuntao suddenly shouted.

"Summon your martial soul!"

Hearing this, Ye Luo immediately opened his eyes and stretched out his right hand.

Amid a faint blue glow, a small blade of grass resembling a watermelon sprout slowly appeared. Its entire body was blue-silver in color.

"Blue Silver Grass again?"

Disappointment appeared in Su Yuntao's eyes. He helplessly shook his head and looked toward an elderly man nearby.

The old man appeared to be in his sixties or seventies. He wore grayish-brown clothes, with white hair and beard. His body was somewhat thin and hunched, but his expression was kind. He leaned on a cane.

"Village Chief Old Tom, it looks like your village won't have any Soul Masters this year either."

But upon hearing Su Yuntao's words and sensing the faint warm current that had appeared inside his body, Ye Luo could not help but reveal a strange look. He raised his right hand.

"Um... Uncle, I suddenly feel a warm current inside me. Is that soul power?"

"A warm current?"

Su Yuntao froze, finding it unbelievable.

Could a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul produce soul power too?

"Come, put your hand on this."

Su Yuntao took out a dark blue crystal ball and handed it to Ye Luo, telling him to place his hand on it.

After Ye Luo placed his hand on the dark blue crystal ball,

a faint blue light immediately bloomed from it.

"Innate Soul Power level three?!"

Su Yuntao's eyes widened as he cried out in shock.

Although the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was the classic form of a Trash Martial Soul, that did not mean it could never possess soul power.

As a Spirit Hall deacon, Su Yuntao knew this.

There had been lucky people who awakened Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls and gained soul power, but it was usually only around level one.

A Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with Innate Soul Power level three was simply unheard of!

In truth, an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul indeed could not possibly have Innate Soul Power at level three.

But Ye Luo did not possess only a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. He also had a Second Martial Soul—the Scythe!

Honestly, even Ye Luo himself could hardly believe it.

He had actually awakened Twin Martial Souls, inheriting both his father's Scythe and his mother's Blue Silver Grass!

But other possessors of Twin Martial Souls, such as Tang San and Bibi Dong, had twin top-tier martial souls: the Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer, or the Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.

What the hell were his Blue Silver Grass and Scythe supposed to be?

Ye Luo felt utterly helpless.
