Notting City, Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.
A handsome boy of about six, dressed in white, watched the scene before him with interest.
"Master, please accept me as your disciple."
Tang san bowed three times before Jade Little Sword, looking at him with fervent hope.
At the sight of this famous scene, the boy in white merely smiled faintly. Holding a Copper Soul Coin, he headed toward the Teaching Affairs Office.
But on closer inspection, a trace of worry about the future could be seen in his golden eyes.
The boy was named Lin Chen. He wasn't a native of Douluo Continent, but a transmigrator from Blue Star.
When he'd first arrived, he'd fantasized about awakening a God-Tier Martial Soul, crushing Tang san, that hypocritical double-standard, inheriting the position of a Divine Being, and becoming the most powerful person on the continent.
But the Martial Soul he awakened at six shattered that beautiful dream completely.
His Martial Soul was the same Luo San Pao Martial Soul as Jade Little Sword's. Even his Innate Soul Power was the same as Jade Little Sword's: Innate Half-Level Soul Power.
At the time, Lin Chen felt as though the sky had fallen. With Jade Little Sword's natural aptitude, in a few years he might not even be able to catch a glimpse of Tang san's back.
But it had already happened and couldn't be changed. All Lin Chen could do now was try his hardest to transform his Martial Soul.
Lin Chen knew it was possible. Since his Martial Soul was the same as Jade Little Sword's, that meant there was a chance it could become a Super Martial Soul like the Golden Holy Dragon.
Just then,
a series of Mechanical Sounds suddenly rang out in Lin Chen's mind.
[ Ding! Diary System has officially bound itself to the host! ]
[ The host only needs to write in the diary every day to receive system rewards. ]
[ System rewards include, but are not limited to: Soul Bones, God-Given Soul Rings, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, peerless techniques... ]
Hearing the Mechanical Sound in his mind, Lin Chen's lips curled upward, and his anxiety vanished.
It seemed fate was fair after all. After transmigrating to Douluo Continent, Lin Chen had gained a system of his own.
The Diary System granted rewards for writing a diary. It seemed like a pretty good system.
Lin Chen continued to examine the Diary System's rules. Naturally, the first thing to do after getting a system was to understand how it worked.
Nearly all the Diary System's rules were displayed on the first page.
Lin Chen looked over the list of rules:
[ Rule One: While conscious, the host must write in the diary every day. The content is unrestricted: daily trivialities, cultivation insights, commentary on the plot, and so on. ]
[ Rule Two: After completing each day's entry, the host can receive a system reward. ]
[ Rule Three: If the host keeps updating the diary every day, he can receive system rewards each week, month, and year. ]
[ Final Rule: All explanations are subject to the system's interpretation. ]
The moment Lin Chen finished reading the Diary System's rules, the system's Mechanical Sound rang out in his mind again.
[ Ding! Newbie tutorial complete. ]
[ A Newbie Gift Pack is now available. Would the host like to claim it? ]
"Claim it!"
Hearing the system's prompt, Lin Chen didn't hesitate. A fool would pass up something free.
The next moment, a streak of Flowing Light appeared out of nowhere and shot into Lin Chen's mind.
After a while,
Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes, his golden gaze unable to hide his excitement.
[ Newbie Gift Pack: Nine Yang Skill (empowered), 1,000 Gold Soul Coins (deposited in system storage), Golden Holy Dragon Blood (ready for fusion; deposited in system storage) ]
Lin Chen was already very satisfied with these system rewards. He wasn't greedy.
The Nine Yang Skill was a top-tier cultivation technique. It was probably leagues better than Tang san's Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Once mastered, it could summon the vision of Nine Suns in the Sky, with blood and energy powerful enough to shake heaven and earth.
The 1,000 Gold Soul Coins would let Lin Chen live comfortably over the next few years without worrying about his quality of life.
The days of deliberately making life difficult for yourself were over. If you could live comfortably while cultivating, who would choose to suffer?
As for the Golden Holy Dragon Blood, there was no need to say more. It was naturally meant to evolve Lin Chen's Martial Soul.
Jade Little Sword had named his Detached Martial Soul Luo Sanpao, but Lin Chen was different. He'd named his Detached Martial Soul Golden Dragon, hoping it might one day become a dragon.
After absorbing the Golden Holy Dragon Blood, Lin Chen was sure his Golden Dragon would undergo some changes.
As he walked, Lin Chen summoned a Black Notebook that only he could see.
The Black Notebook floated in front of him, radiating an ancient, mysterious aura.
With a mere thought, Lin Chen could write in his diary on the ancient Black Notebook. It was incredibly convenient.
Soon, at Lin Chen's will, the Black Notebook opened slowly, and words appeared on its pages.
[ I never would've thought I'd transmigrate. ]
[ And I ended up in Douluo Continent, famous for its romance. ]
[ The characters from the novels I read in my previous life feel so real now. I just saw Tang san kneeling before Jade Little Sword at the academy entrance—the famous scene. It's hilarious. ]
[ Tang san is a transmigrator just like me, yet he couldn't even see through a good-for-nothing who was famous only in name. What an idiot. Then again, maybe the two of them are birds of a feather. ]
[ Speaking of Jade Little Sword, he's a real good-for-nothing. He had one of the top Martial Souls, but he held it back himself and turned it into a useless Martial Soul. ]
[ Jade Little Sword calls himself a master of Martial Soul research, but he can't even figure out his own Martial Soul. Luo San Pao had the chance to become a Super Martial Soul like the Golden Holy Dragon, but its master dragged it down. Now it's just a pig that can fart, and Jade Little Sword still hasn't even reached Soul Elder. ]
[ His famous saying really suits him: "There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters." Jade Little Sword insulted himself twice with that line. ]
[ Still, I wonder what the Martial Soul Hall Pope Bibi Dong saw in such a good-for-nothing. ]
[ He's plain-looking, even a little lecherous, and his talent goes without saying. His theories are only half-baked, too. I can't think of a single good quality Jade Little Sword has. I don't know why that crazy woman Bibi Dong is so obsessed with him and still can't forget him. ]
By the time he finished writing, Lin Chen realized he'd reached the entrance to the Teaching Affairs Office.
With no choice, Lin Chen put away the Black Notebook for the moment. He'd get enrolled and sort out his things first; there was no harm in finishing the entry later.
Lin Chen had no idea that, thousands of miles away, a terrifying aura was erupting from Spirit Hall.
The entire Papal Palace trembled beneath that terrifying aura.
Inside the Papal Palace,
Bibi Dong was staring at the Black Notebook radiating an eerie aura, her brows slightly furrowed.
She had been sitting on the Papal Chair, deep in thought.
