Crossing into Douluo

Aolai City!

Spirit Pagoda!

Today was the annual Awakening Day. The entire city had become lively because the awakening ceremony was being held at the Spirit Pagoda in Aolai City. Early in the morning, the street before the Spirit Pagoda was already packed with vehicles, as parents brought their children who had reached the age of six to participate in the awakening ceremony.

On Douluo Continent, everyone possessed their own Martial Soul. There were countless varieties of Martial Souls, encompassing everything imaginable. They could be plants or animals, even hoes, shovels, kitchen knives, sticks, and any other tool humans could use.

Once a Martial Soul awakened, a person's abilities in a certain area would be enhanced. For example, someone who awakened a hoe Martial Soul would be better at farming than someone without one. If innate Soul Power also awakened alongside the Martial Soul, then congratulations: you would become one of the most noble professions on Douluo Continent for countless ages—a Soul Master.

Soul Power was a special kind of energy. It could serve as fuel for Martial Souls, allowing Soul Masters to unleash all sorts of strange skills or master unusual abilities. With such powers, Soul Masters were naturally far stronger than ordinary people and could easily rise through the social ranks to become superior to others.

Therefore, whether poor or wealthy, everyone across the continent looked forward to the awakening of their Martial Souls, and even more so to the awakening of innate Soul Power.

This could be said to be something that determined the fate of everyone on the entire continent!

On this day, Su Hao had also come to the Spirit Pagoda with Su Lie, the City Lord of Aolai City.

As he looked at the sea of people crowded before the Spirit Pagoda, Su Hao's eyes flickered.

Recalling how he had arrived here six years ago, Su Hao could not help but sigh inwardly.

Six years ago, Su Hao had still been lying in bed, staying up late to read a novel. Then, his phone slipped from his hand and fell onto his face. Immediately afterward, he had been whisked away by a shady immortal-cultivation system of word entries and sent through time.

Halfway through the journey, that shady system discovered that it had taken the wrong person.

So, it randomly placed Su Hao in a Small Plane. After randomly drawing several word entries for him and giving him a damaged Heart of the Heavenly Dao, it turned into a streak of light and vanished.

Because that shady system had carried him through time and space, Su Hao had directly reverted to the state of a newborn child.

Only then did Su Hao realize what had happened. Just as he tried to call out and make that shady system stay, he discovered that it had already left.

After cursing the shady system in his heart for a while, he had no choice but to inspect the few word entries it had left behind.

To his surprise, the entries the shady system had given him were actually Golden Legend-grade entries: [Heaven-Defying Comprehension] and [Great Fortune].

Upon seeing those two entries, Su Hao promptly stopped thinking about cursing that shady system and turned his attention to the damaged Heart of the Heavenly Dao it had left him.

He discovered that this Heart of the Heavenly Dao was also extraordinarily powerful. As long as he restored it completely, he would be able to become the ruler of an entire world.

The method for repairing the Heart of the Heavenly Dao was to devour smaller planes and use them to restore it.

Before leaving, that shady system had already fused him with the Heart of the Heavenly Dao. As long as he wished it, he could use some of the laws still remaining within it.

However, after using them, the Heart of the Heavenly Dao seemed unable to recover them. I should use them sparingly, he thought.

Only then did Su Hao come back to his senses. It seemed that no one was around to adopt him, and when that shady system had sent him through time, it had dropped him in the wilderness.

Moreover, he had become a one-year-old child during the journey, completely incapable of finding a place to live on his own.

If things continued like this for the next few days, then this journey through time might end right here.

Thus, without hesitation, Su Hao equipped the two entries that the shady system had given him as compensation.

Six or seven minutes later, sounds of battle suddenly erupted not far from him.

Another two or three minutes passed, and Su Hao suddenly saw a figure fly over him and land not far away at his side.

Then, Su Hao saw a man dressed in black robes land before him. Looking at the man not far from Su Hao, he said:

"Su Lie, I never thought you would have a day like this. If you want someone to blame, blame yourself for obstructing our Holy Cult's plans."

"Huh, there's even a child here?"

"Haha, Su Lie, it looks like today really is my lucky day.

"Not only can I personally capture you, a bastard wanted by our Holy Cult, but I've also found such excellent material. My Martial Soul tells me that if I devour this child, I may have a chance to advance to the rank of Titled Douluo."

Hearing the black-robed man's words, Su Lie, who stood not far from Su Hao, revealed a deathly expression. Seeing that the man was about to make his move, he said unwillingly:

"Hmph, a bunch of sewer rats that can't stand the light. When I stopped your Holy Spirit Cult back then, I had already considered that this day might come.

"I just never expected it to come so quickly, nor that it would drag so many people down with me."

Then, as though he had made some decision, Su Lie suddenly spoke to Su Hao before him:

"Child, although I don't know your name, I implicated you this time. If there is a chance in the next life, I will make it up to you properly."

The black-robed man before Su Hao immediately acted upon hearing Su Lie's words. He flew toward Su Lie while saying:

"You were poisoned by me, yet you still want to self-destruct? Dream on.

"You should obediently return to the Holy Cult with me and repent for what you've done."

From their conversation, Su Hao learned that he had arrived on Douluo Continent. He just did not know whether it was the world of the second or third installment.

However, he was in great danger now. If Su Lie behind him lost, he would become nourishment for the Evil Soul Master before him.

Thus, Su Hao made a prompt decision and used the remaining power within the damaged Heart of the Heavenly Dao, blasting it toward the Evil Soul Master.

The Evil Soul Master who had been rushing at Su Lie, along with Su Lie himself, saw a brilliant White Light suddenly shine from Su Hao's body.

Then, the previously clear sky suddenly became covered in dark clouds, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed. A bolt of lightning as thick as a water barrel swiftly struck the Evil Soul Master.

In an instant, the Evil Soul Master flying toward Su Lie was reduced to ashes by the strike.

Su Hao also fell unconscious after using the remaining power of the Heavenly Dao.

After resting where he stood for a while, Su Lie rose to his feet. He picked up Su Hao, who lay before him, and left the place.

Afterward, Su Lie completed adoption papers for Su Hao. From then on, Su Hao became Su Lie's adopted son.

Later, Su Hao learned that he had arrived in the world of the third Douluo installment.
