Ye Zhou

In a small courtyard in Heaven Dou City.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully transmigrated to the Douluo Continent plane and bound the Myriad Worlds Summoning System."

"The system's primary function is sacrifice summoning."

"The Host may use living creatures or inanimate objects of value as sacrifices to summon all manner of things from the myriad worlds through this system."

"The higher the value of the sacrifice, the higher the value of the summoned item."

"This system ranks summoned items from highest to lowest as SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, and D."

"As this is the Host's first transmigration, the system grants the Host two free summoning opportunities and guarantees that the summoned items will be no lower than A-rank. Would the Host like to begin summoning?"

Hearing the string of voices ringing in his mind, Ye Zhou, who was sitting cross-legged beneath a pomelo tree in the courtyard, could not help blinking.

Transmigration? A system?

He lowered his head, looked at his now-smaller hands, then touched his face.

It was real. I became smaller.

He swept his gaze around the unfamiliar surroundings...

"Ah!" Suddenly, a stream of information flooded into his mind.

A moment later, he understood. He truly had transmigrated, arriving in the world of Douluo Continent, a novel that had been hugely popular in his previous life.

In this world, he was the only son of Baron Lieyan of the Heaven Dou Empire. Not long ago, Xue Beng, the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, had broken through to Level Ten Soul Power. His parents had been selected by the royal family as accompanying guards for the hunt for soul beasts, but something had gone wrong along the way, leaving him an orphan.

Now, all he had left was this small courtyard beneath his feet and some Gold Soul Coins left behind by his parents.

Oh, and a card provided by the royal family as compensation, supposedly containing twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins.

That was his current situation.

After figuring out his circumstances, Ye Zhou rubbed his head, feeling both amused and speechless.

Being chosen from among billions of people on Blue Star to transmigrate, and even receiving a system afterward, should have been something worth celebrating.

But Douluo Continent...

I barely know its story!

He had only seen clips of its animated adaptation on Douyin. He knew the protagonist was called Tang San, the female lead was Xiao Wu, and the villain was Spirit Hall. Then the comments all said that Tang San, the protagonist, was evil while Spirit Hall, the villain, was good. It was a story about bad people defeating good people.

Oh, and one more thing. Douyin said that Tang San eventually became a God.

Ye Zhou raised his head and looked at the sky.

Could people become Gods in this world?

If so, with my system, could I also have a chance to become a God?

"Ding! Host, would you like to begin the two free summons?" the system's voice rang out again.

"Let's begin." Ye Zhou lowered his head, silently warning himself not to aim too high too soon. He took a deep breath and answered the system in his mind.

"Buzz—" The next moment, a low hum sounded.

The surroundings around Ye Zhou turned pitch-black. Immediately afterward, an Altar emitting dazzling white light appeared before him. It appeared to be a hundred meters tall, with at least three or four hundred steps.

At the center of the Altar, energy continually gathered and formed countless images: books, medicine bottles, swords, and even...

My God, was that a missile that flashed by just now? It could even summon something like that?

Ye Zhou's eyes widened.

Several seconds later, the energy completely solidified. The image froze, revealing an item that shot toward Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou immediately raised his hand and caught it, discovering that it was a book.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully summoned an A-rank item: the martial arts skill book Three Points Return to One Qi from the world of Feng Yun. After using it, you will gain max-level proficiency in this martial art."

The system's voice came from all directions.

Ye Zhou was stunned.

Three Points Return to One Qi.

That was the ultimate technique of Xiong Ba, the leader of the Tianxia Society!

He had watched the television drama Feng Yun: Overlord of the World as a child. The Xiong Ba in it had been incredibly imposing, raising his hand to form a bubble brimming with true qi before hurling it at his enemies. Its power had been simply terrifying.

At the same time, the Altar began gathering energy again. Before long, another item shot toward him.

He raised his hand and caught it as well, and the system's voice rang out again.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully summoned an S-Class Summon: a spirit fruit from a certain fantasy world, the Sun Moon True Fruit. After consuming it, you will gain the power of yang and yin, obtain the Yin-Yang Balanced Physique, permanently escape the danger of qi deviation, and become immune to all mental attacks below S-rank."

"Sun Moon True Fruit? S-rank? Looks like my luck is pretty good." Ye Zhou's eyes lit up. Then he noticed that the darkness around him had vanished, and the courtyard had reappeared.

"Never mind all that. Eat!" Without hesitation, he took large bites of the spirit fruit in his hand. As the flesh entered his stomach, he felt two currents moving through his body, one cold and one hot. They reached a perfect balance without causing him any discomfort. On the contrary, it felt rather pleasant.

Then, looking at the skill book in his hand, he thought, Use it.

"Buzz—" As soon as the thought fell, the skill book turned into specks of light and merged into his body.

[Three Points Return to One Qi] was not actually a standalone martial art. It was formed by merging three distinct techniques: [Heaven Frost Fist], [Wind God Leg], and [Cloud Dispelling Palm].

The so-called "three points" referred to the enduring flow of Wind God Leg, the fierce strength of Cloud Dispelling Palm, and the chilling cold of Heaven Frost Fist. "Return to one" referred to combining these three distinct inner forces into one, forming the incomparably sharp "Three Points Return to One Qi."

The next day.

Ye Zhou stood in the courtyard with his eyes shut tight and both hands clenched into fists. Chilling energy gathered around his fists.

Perhaps because he had eaten the Sun Moon True Fruit, he had cultivated the Heaven Frost True Qi, which should have taken at least two years according to the memories, in just one day. Moreover, he vaguely sensed that something was suppressing him. Otherwise, he could have cultivated even more true qi.

The next second, he abruptly opened his eyes and fiercely punched toward the stone table not far ahead.

Heaven Frost Fist!

Boom! A bone-chilling white glow shot from his fist and slammed into the stone table. With a thunderous crash, the table exploded into countless chunks of ice, releasing clouds of vapor beneath the blazing sun.

"Ha, that's incredible!" Ye Zhou said excitedly as he watched the scene and looked at his fist.

In just one day, he had gone from an ordinary person to a martial arts master. This feeling was incredible!

"Is Lord Baron at home? The annual Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony at the Martial Soul Holy Hall is about to begin. I have been ordered to come fetch you."

Suddenly, a shout came from outside the courtyard.

Hearing the voice, Ye Zhou stopped cultivating.

He did not know much about the original story of Douluo Continent, but he had already learned the basic details of this world.

Here, once everyone reached the age of six, they could awaken their own martial souls through the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony.

And this year, he had just turned six!
