Douluo: Ruo Tuo Save Me

Later on, unless you were a Tang Sect disciple, just wait to be killed by the Immortal Herb trials...

If Heaven bestowed it and you refused to take it, you would suffer the consequences!

"Ding. This system is the Novice Gift Pack System. It has no other functions."

"?" Zhong Li was puzzled. A Novice Gift Pack System? It seemed that none of the wish-fulfillment novels he had read had mentioned one. Didn't every system more or less come with a novice gift pack?

"This system can only distribute gift packs. It will not issue missions to the host, nor does it have any function to eliminate the host. Would you like to bind?"

As though it had seen the doubts and resistance in Zhong Li's heart, the Novice Gift Pack System hurriedly explained. There was even a trace of urgency in its mechanical voice.

But Zhong Li did not notice it. Otherwise, he might have thought more deeply about it.

"Bind. Then bind it!" After receiving the system's answer, Zhong Li stopped overthinking it.

From the novels he had read, systems seemed to be products that had to follow certain rules.

They could refuse to answer the host and claim insufficient permissions. Even if they wanted to eliminate you, they had to act according to the rules.

But they had to be "honest." If they said they did not have something, then they truly did not have it. Zhong Li did not understand why, but that was simply a fact.

"Ding. System binding in progress..."

"One percent..."

"Five percent..."

"Ninety percent..."

"Isn't that jump a little too big? Is it really in that much of a hurry?" Zhong Li grumbled inwardly.

"One hundred percent."

"Ding. System binding successful. Novice Gift Pack is being distributed! Would the host like to receive it?"

"Receive." Why else would he bind it if not to receive it?

"Ding. Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Morax Inheritance Template."

"This template will gradually merge with the host over time. You have also obtained the divine weapon, Vortex of Thunder."

"Due to the laws of Douluo Planet, Vortex of Thunder has automatically transformed into a Martial Soul. After the host breaks through a major rank, this Martial Soul will automatically obtain a Soul Ring. The Morax Template is unaffected."

"For example: after the host breaks through to Spirit Master, Vortex of Thunder will automatically obtain a Soul Ring. The same applies thereafter."

"..." Hearing this, the young Zhong Li nearly fainted from anger.

Without a Soul Ring, one could not break through from level 10 to level 11.

And without breaking through to level 11, one could not obtain a Soul Ring. That was the rule of Douluo Planet. Even the Silver Dragon King at the peak of a first-rank god could not change that rule!

"Is this system here to harm me? Luckily, the template is unaffected. As long as I live long enough, it seems that no one on Douluo Continent can truly be Morax's match, even if the current Divine Realm is included."

"Ding. Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Wind Element God's Eye. Due to the laws of Douluo Planet, it has automatically transformed into a Martial Soul."

The Novice Gift Pack System ignored Zhong Li's grumbling and continued handing out its gift pack. It felt wronged, but it said nothing.

"Heaven never seals off every path! System, you really do love me!"

Zhong Li was so excited that he nearly jumped up! Twin Martial Souls! Although the Wind Element God's Eye was a little trashy, it was still a Martial Soul, and it had the potential to become a Gnosis.

He no longer had to worry about being unable to break through. Of course, calling the God's Eye trashy was only in comparison to the Morax Template.

He had only played Genshin Impact for three days, but he had read quite a few Genshin Impact fanfics. With his roommate's introduction, he had started playing the game. In other words, he was a cloud player!

"Ding. Congratulations, host, for obtaining one Ruotuo Dragon King at her peak. Please rest assured, she cannot harm the host and is one hundred percent loyal to the host. Ruotuo Dragon King has bound herself to the host and will protect you! She exists within the host's Sea of Consciousness."

Before Zhong Li could recover, the Novice Gift Pack System continued its operations.

"Ding. The Novice Gift Pack has been distributed. System unbinding in progress. Unbinding successful. Goodbye, host..."

It ran away...

"..."

"Couldn't you at least wait for me to say thank you before running off?"

That Handsome Blind Eye God King Has Arrived

That Handsome Blind Eye God King Has Arrived

On the thirteenth day after the system left, he missed it!

Today was an incredibly important day for Zhong Li. It was the day of Martial Soul Awakening!

On Douluo Continent, any child who had reached the age of six could undergo Martial Soul Awakening.

The awakened Martial Souls came in all sorts of strange forms: cats and dogs, beast Martial Souls such as jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards.

There were also tool Martial Souls such as hoes, sickles, and hammers.

Under normal circumstances, an awakened Martial Soul would be inherited from either one's father or mother.

It was also possible to inherit neither parent's Martial Soul and instead undergo a mutation!

Why did Zhong Li's parents not awaken his Martial Soul themselves, instead waiting for a Spirit Hall deacon?

This was not strange at all. Neither of them currently had the item needed for Martial Soul Awakening: Awakening Stones.

Awakening Stones were not rare on Douluo Continent, but most were controlled by nobles, clans, sects, and Spirit Hall.

When paired with Soul Power, Awakening Stones could help someone awaken a Martial Soul. No other use had yet been discovered.

But that did not stop them from gathering Awakening Stones. It was fine if they had no use for them, but they could not be without them!

These were the key items for Martial Soul Awakening! Who could feel at ease leaving such a matter in someone else's hands?

What if one day you were unhappy and refused to awaken the Martial Souls of my descendants? What could I do then?

This was also why, after Spirit Hall was destroyed and no force helped commoners awaken their Martial Souls, commoner Spirit Masters were basically nowhere to be seen in Douluo Two.

Even Shrek, which claimed to serve the country and the people, required a recommendation from a city lord before one could enroll.

A city lord, no matter how useless he was, was not someone a commoner could meet whenever they wanted.

There were not many children in the village awakening their Martial Souls this year. Including Zhong Li, there were only six.

At first light, the children who needed to awaken their Martial Souls had all been brought to the village entrance by their parents. They waited there to welcome the arrival of Spirit Hall's deacon.

The village chief of Grassroots Village had gone door to door yesterday to notify everyone and make this requirement.

After all, Grassroots Village was not far from Nuoding City. In previous years, Spirit Hall deacons had usually come to Grassroots Village first to help the children awaken their Martial Souls before heading to other villages.

Spirit Hall had built a small wooden house beside the village entrance. It served as a temporary venue for Martial Soul Awakening.

"After merging for all these days, I wonder how much of the Morax Template has actually fused with me. Apart from feeling that my body has become much stronger, the only skill I can currently use is Jade Screen Shield..." Zhong Li thought about what he had gained since the Novice Gift Pack System ran away.

He had no idea how much of the Morax Template had fused with him because he had no System Panel. His system had run away...

As for Vortex of Thunder and the Wind Element God's Eye Martial Soul, he had yet to awaken his Martial Soul, so he did not know what they were like.

As for Ruotuo Dragon King, Zhong Li had not seen her at all.

The fusion of the Morax Template strengthened not only Zhong Li's body, but also his soul—or rather, his spiritual power.

However, before his Martial Soul awakened, he had no Soul Power. Even when using Jade Screen Shield, he had to rely on the tiny amount of elemental power produced by merging with Morax.

It could only be said that the fusion time had been far too short.

Just as Zhong Li was lost in random thoughts, a figure was running toward the entrance of Grassroots Village from the direction of Nuoding City.

More than twenty li, or just over ten kilometers, was not a particularly great distance for a Spirit Master.

After about the time it took to burn one incense stick, the man in white appeared at the entrance of Grassroots Village.

Seeing the Spirit Hall deacon arrive, the village chief of Grassroots Village hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

The village chief was only around fifty years old and did not look particularly old. He often helped the villagers through difficult times and was a warmhearted man.

"Welcome, Lord Soul Master of Spirit Hall. You've worked hard. Have you eaten breakfast? This old man, I..."

Village Chief Wang Mazi spoke as he placed the food box in the young Spirit Master's hands.

You did not strike a smiling face, and that saying worked in many worlds.

"Alright, Old Wang. I've already eaten breakfast..."

The young man had been about to refuse the food box that the village chief had placed in his hands.

But he had been set up!

The food box in his hands felt weightless. When he gave it a gentle shake, the crisp sound of Soul Coins clinking against one another captivated him.

The young man gave Old Village Chief Wang a deep look. Using this to test a Spirit Master? What Spirit Master could withstand such a test?

Sure enough, coming to Grassroots Village first had been the right choice.

He discreetly put away the food box.

"I happen to be a little hungry. I'll eat after helping the children awaken their Martial Souls. Have this year's children who need to awaken their Martial Souls come inside with me. The parents can wait outside."

After accepting the gift, the young man did not waste words and headed toward the small wooden house at the village entrance.

"Children, hurry, hurry and follow Lord Soul Master from Spirit Hall. You must all behave and listen obediently..."

There was no extra time for the village chief to give a long speech, and he did not say much.

After briefly explaining the important points of Martial Soul Awakening, he had the children line up and enter the already-open wooden house.

Zhong Li watched from the side without showing any extra reaction.

Zhong Tian and Gongsun Li had both come with him today.

However, no one said anything. Everything that needed to be said had already been said yesterday.

Zhong Li was the last to enter the wooden house, casually closing the door behind him.

This could be considered Spirit Hall's Grassroots Village branch under Nuoding City. It was not as magnificent as he had imagined, merely a simple and spacious room.

"My name is Su Yuntao. I am a deacon of Spirit Hall, a level 26 Soul Grandmaster, and the guide who will help you awaken your Martial Souls."

After Su Yuntao gave his brief introduction, he somehow took out six Awakening Stones and arranged them on the ground in the shape of a six-pointed star.

After making the preparations, he took out a Crystal Ball and placed it to one side. There was a fixed stand there, and the groove at its top was perfect for holding the Crystal Ball.

"Mm, let's start with you!"

Su Yuntao looked at the six children. Five of them were ordinary, but one had caught his attention: Zhong Li.

It was not because Zhong Li was exceptionally handsome at such a young age, but because of his parents!

He had seen Zhong Li's parents outside just now. The man was rather handsome, with sword-like brows and bright eyes.

As for the woman, she could be said to be the most beautiful woman Su Yuntao had ever seen. Gentle and refined, she looked like a lady from a prestigious family.

Before coming to Grassroots Village, he had heard some rumors. It was said that a Soul Elder from Nuoding City had taken a fancy to a certain woman from Grassroots Village. The woman was breathtakingly beautiful, and he had planned to force himself on her. Then there was no then...

That Spirit Master had been a prominent figure in Nuoding City and had a fairly powerful clan behind him. Yet overnight, all thirty-six direct members of his clan, young and old, had been wiped out!

The incident had caused quite a sensation.

In this tiny Nuoding City, there was actually someone so ruthless, and someone above had even suppressed the matter! No one had gone looking for that woman afterward.

How many people did Grassroots Village have? Just over two hundred households. Anyone with the intention to investigate could find that woman. The matter had also become a taboo topic among Nuoding City's nobles.

Why Were the Effects of His Martial Soul Awakening So Powerful?

Why Were the Effects of His Martial Soul Awakening So Powerful?

Su Yuntao casually pointed at one child. As for Zhong Li, he intended to help him awaken his Martial Soul last.

Seeing Su Yuntao point at him, Zhang Hu hurriedly walked to the center of the Awakening Stones.

Once Zhang Hu was standing properly, Su Yuntao did not waste any more words. There were seven or eight villages that needed Martial Soul Awakening today.

He could not waste any more time.

"Martial Soul Possession! Close your eyes and feel carefully!"

After Su Yuntao used Martial Soul Possession, the phantom of a Wolf appeared behind him. One white and one yellow Soul Ring slowly emerged beneath him.

His body itself swelled somewhat, while wolf-like traits appeared across his surface—claws, fur, and the like.

This scene did not frighten Zhang Hu. His father's Martial Soul was a tiger! Although he had no Soul Power, the proper traits would still appear after Martial Soul Possession.
