Spirit City,

Spirit Awakening Plaza,

It was autumn, with endless drizzling rain.

A hazy rain pattered down,

bringing an autumn chill as it struck people's bodies.

Yet even so,

it could not extinguish the burning anticipation of the many children waiting for their Martial Souls to awaken in the plaza.

Although some of their thin, small bodies trembled nonstop in the autumn rain,

their gazes remained fixed on the Hexagram Magic Array at the center of the plaza.

Their excitement overwhelmed their physical cold.

Among the many children,

there was one particularly outstanding figure.

He stood out

not because of his patch-covered clothes,

but because his eyes were clearly different from those of the other children.

Besides being exceptionally bright,

they held a maturity that should not have appeared in a child's eyes.

"Ha ha ha!"

"Young Master Guo,"

"Look at how serious Lin Du is."

"Could he still be dreaming of awakening some powerful Martial Soul?"

Just as Lin Du was watching the awakening array at the center of the plaza,

a harsh, mocking voice came from behind and to his side,

laden with obvious malice.

In response,

Lin Du merely showed a hint of boredom.

He did not even feel like turning his head,

as though he had not heard them at all.

Seeing that Lin Du had not even turned around,

Guo Kai, who had been preparing to mock him viciously, felt as though he had punched cotton.

He glanced at his lackeys in dissatisfaction,

signaling for them to continue.

Having received their boss's signal,

the lackeys intensified their attacks.

They were determined to draw Lin Du's attention.

"Acting so calm,"

"but you're probably panicking inside, aren't you?"

"Give it up, Lin Du."

"Even if you can awaken a Martial Soul,"

"you could never be stronger than Young Master Guo."

"His father is a level 59 Soul King with a Bear Spirit."

"So Young Master Guo was born with the blood of a Spirit Master flowing through his veins."

"You're just a bastard who doesn't even know who his parents are,"

"and you still dream of becoming a Spirit Master?!"

"Besides,"

"whether you can even awaken a Martial Soul"

"is still unknown."

This time,

they finally succeeded.

After they finished speaking,

Lin Du's gaze landed on them.

"I remember giving you some face just now, didn't I?"

"Why are you still begging to get beaten?"

"Calling him Young Master Guo with every breath."

"What?"

"Is Guo Kai your father?"

"Is that why you're so filial?"

"I don't know whether I have the bloodline of a Spirit Master,"

"but I do know that none of you have Guo Kai's bloodline."

"So save your strength."

"After he dies, his family fortune won't go to you filial sons anyway."

"If you like kissing Guo Kai's stinking feet so much,"

"you should hurry up and see a doctor."

"Because a foot fetish will only ruin you."

Once Lin Du opened his mouth,

his honey-coated words fired at full force.

With the soul of an adult,

how could a few six-year-old brats possibly be his match?

In just a few sentences,

he had cursed them until their eyes turned red,

with little pearls of tears swirling in their sockets.

"Lin Du,"

"all you have is that sharp tongue."

"While you still have the chance,"

"vent all you want."

"Because you'll soon learn just how great the gap between us is."

"It is the difference between heaven and earth, clouds and mud."

"No matter how you spend your whole life chasing after me,"

"you can only look up at this young master's back."

"You won't even be able to touch the corner of this young master's clothes."

Seeing his lackeys nearly cry from Lin Du's insults,

Guo Kai, as the instigator behind it all,

naturally had to stand up for them.

He let out a cold snort,

his face full of arrogance.

"What?"

"Do you have some terminal illness and are about to die?"

"Then I really can't catch up to you even on horseback."

"Still,"

"considering I've taught you a lesson before,"

"I'll wish you a good death."

Lin Du raised his brows slightly

and lightly waved his fist.

Seeing Lin Du's movement,

Guo Kai reflexively took half a step back.

Clearly, he had tasted Lin Du's fists before.

"Tch."

Watching Guo Kai take that half-step back,

Lin Du sneered and turned away.

The reason Guo Kai and his lackeys targeted Lin Du

was simply because Lin Du had taught them a lesson not long ago.

Seven or eight of them had rushed him together,

yet they had not been able to withstand a single exchange with Lin Du.

They had been beaten until they fled in disgrace, utterly humiliated.

The reason Lin Du was so formidable

was not only because he possessed an adult's wisdom,

but also because he had deliberately trained his body.

Otherwise,

an adult's mind alone would not have been enough for him to defeat several times his number of peers with the body of a child.

After being mocked by Lin Du like that,

Guo Kai's face visibly flushed red.

But just as he was about to lose his temper,

he seemed to remember something.

The anger on his face gradually vanished,

replaced bit by bit by the smugness of a petty victor.

"Lin Du,"

"you'd better keep mocking me."

"I'd like to see"

"whether you can still act so fearless later."

Guo Kai's voice carried undisguised malice.

What appeared on his still somewhat childish face

was a viciousness that even some adults lacked.

"Really?"

"Then I'll wait."

Lin Du appeared unmoved on the surface.

But after turning away,

solemnity gradually crept across his face.

If he had truly only been a six-year-old child,

he might have been confused.

But as a transmigrator, he possessed an adult's soul and wisdom,

which easily allowed him to catch the crucial information in Guo Kai and his lackeys' words.

Whether I can awaken a Martial Soul is still unknown?

What does that mean?

And Guo Kai has an extraordinary status.

He could clearly awaken at home.

Why did he insist on coming to the Awakening Plaza to join the commotion?

Could it be...

Lin Du's gaze passed through gaps in the crowd and fell upon the awakening array at the center of the plaza.

The chilly, unbroken autumn rain struck his thin, frail body,

yet Lin Du seemed unable to feel the cold at all.

His brows and eyes were filled with gravity.

He felt that

an invisible net aimed at him

was slowly closing around him!

At the same time,

Douluo Hall,

"Grandpa,"

"Xue'er came to see you."

The young girl in a long golden dress walked into Douluo Hall with elegant steps,

Her golden long hair fell freely behind her,

Rising and falling with her movements.

The girl was exquisitely beautiful,

Her skin white as snow and smooth as jade,

With slender phoenix eyes and a straight nose,

Her peerless face carried a trace of imposing dignity,

At around eleven or twelve years old,

She had already grown into a graceful young lady,

Displaying the beginnings of a breathtaking beauty.

However,

Her brows were tinged with sorrow,

Entirely at odds with the innocence and liveliness she should have had at her age.

As Qian Renxue's voice fell,

A ray of Holy Light appeared before her,

As the Holy Light gradually faded,

A handsome middle-aged man who looked only thirty or forty appeared before Qian Renxue,

A faint smile rested on his lips,

And a hint of affection flowed through his eyes,

No one would have imagined,

That this harmless-looking middle-aged man was Spirit Hall's absolute pillar,

The ninety-ninth-rank Limit Douluo Qian Daoliu, known as Invincible of the Sky!

"Grandpa,"

Seeing her grandpa appear before her,

Qian Renxue could no longer suppress the grievance in her heart,

Her eyes reddening as she threw herself into Qian Daoliu's embrace.
