Xiao Ge's chances of awakening a Martial Soul were not looking good.
Although their ancestor was said to have been a peerless Soul Master, a powerful being whose soul power had surpassed rank ninety, the descendants of the family had no idea whether their ancestor had encountered some kind of problem. The generations that followed had all been mediocre, and none had inherited the strength of that peerless Soul Master.
By the time the legacy had reached his generation, the once-mighty Martial Soul had become an ordinary hoe.
To be precise, it was just a small, ordinary hoe, no different from a toy glass marble. Even the hoe used for play was more colorful and attractive.
Now, the trash-tier Martial Soul's innate soul power was only half a point lower than the worst possible score.
Fortunately, the Ouyang Family was wealthy. Xiao Ge's ancestors had once produced a peerless Soul Master, and they had accumulated enough wealth to give their descendants a comfortable life. At least that meant he could live well.
Even though he was already a year and a half old, Xiao Ge's soul power was still only half a point. Thanks to the family's substantial resources and the Ouyang Family's care, though, he was still doing quite well.
Xiao Ge had thought his life would be peaceful and ordinary. Then, one day, a strange diary suddenly appeared in his mind.
[Congratulations, host. You've obtained a diary of wish fulfillment. As long as you keep writing in it, you can obtain generous rewards. The odds are extremely high! Brother, start writing your diary!]
Xiao Ge sank into thought as he felt the diary in his mind, shining with golden light.
A diary of wish fulfillment?
That name... was pretty intriguing.
But judging from the description that followed, this definitely wasn't some useless diary, was it?
Every cell in Xiao Ge's body seemed to be resisting. The reason was simple: he didn't belong to this world. He was a transmigrator. Before he transmigrated, when he was still in elementary school, he'd had a beautiful, gentle neighbor living next door. When he was little, he'd once gone into her house... and then, for some inexplicable reason, he'd never been able to see that gentle neighbor again.
It wasn't until he grew up that he realized what he had lost in that diary.
So...
Even dogs don't write diaries, right?
[Write your first diary entry to obtain a beginner's gift pack. The beginner's gift pack is guaranteed to contain something valuable, with a 100 percent chance of getting something good!]
A 100 percent chance of something good?
Xiao Ge's eyes lit up.
Influenced by the old foxes around him, even with a ninety-nine percent chance of success, he wouldn't readily give it a try.
But a full one hundred percent... That sounded worth a shot.
Right! What was this, if not a diary?!
Xiao Ge's mind stirred, and he immediately began writing a diary entry in the diary in his mind.
The Ouyang Family.
A spacious, luxurious bedroom.
Duoduo, the young daughter of the current head of the Ouyang Family, was tidying her clothes. Her long, platinum-blond hair fell down her back, and even the simple white dress she wore couldn't conceal her slender figure.
Her delicate features, smooth fair skin, and long, shapely legs gave the young girl a radiant, jade-like beauty.
Although Duoduo hadn't yet come of age, she already had countless admirers in the family. Most of them would be driven away by her older brothers, but what troubled Duoduo was that she seemed to have already found someone she liked.
The descendants of that peerless Soul Master had all shown remarkable talent. They might even have become powerful Soul Masters, but Duoduo had no interest in deciding on a partner so early.
Or perhaps she already had someone in her heart.
That was why she'd chosen to head to the Ouyang Family's academy: partly because she wanted to fulfill her mother's final wish, and partly because she wanted to see the Ouyang Family's academy her father had built from the ground up.
It would be even better if she could find someone she liked at the Ouyang Family's academy.
Thinking of that, Duoduo sped up as she tidied her clothes.
But in the next moment, her eyes filled with astonishment. A diary suddenly appeared in her mind, gleaming with golden light.
The diary seemed to have words on it. In large, bold letters, it read: Xiao Ge's Diary—Duoduo's Edition.
Xiao Ge's diary?
What was that?
The brief shock passed, and Duoduo quickly regained her composure. Her beautiful eyes began to move as she thought it over.
That person named Xiao Ge seemed to have some kind of seal... It seemed the Ouyang Family had a peerless Soul Master among its descendants nearly a thousand years ago. Ever since he'd awakened a remarkable Martial Soul, there hadn't been anyone else of note.
And she'd never even met this Xiao Ge.
Why would his diary appear in my mind?
Though suspicious, Duoduo opened the diary.
[Today's entry: a good start.]
[Since this is a diary, I'll naturally write about my day. I've got a weak constitution, so I guess this counts as writing a diary, right?]
[Let's see what the beginner's gift pack is!]
[Why is a diary so troublesome? Do I have to make things up? Is this diary trying to make me stop being human?]
At the first line, Duoduo's expression grew a little strange. She couldn't help thinking to herself that he was quite the oddball.
She'd originally wanted to stop reading the diary right there, but the beginner's gift pack he mentioned caught her attention. After a moment's hesitation, Duoduo continued reading.
[All right, then. I'll make something up. It's just a way to vent.]
[I have to admit that I transmigrated because I was too handsome. Ah, no, "too handsome" isn't the right description. After all, it's not like I transmigrated while I was still a child because I looked like a certain handsome neighbor next door.]
[To be clear, this isn't a boast.]
[But whatever the reason, why did I have to transmigrate to the Douluo Continent?! And why during the era of Tang San, the God King who could cover the sky with one hand... Isn't this a trap?]
Xiao Ge... was he really that handsome?
Duoduo thought for a moment, then began to search her memories.
In her impression, Xiao Ge had always been a quiet, well-behaved child. The family had many younger children who looked up to him, so he must have had plenty of admirers.
Not bad, not bad... I've almost forgotten the main point!
Duoduo hurriedly looked over the diary again, her attention drawn to the bold words.
Transmigrated... Tang San... a past life as Tang San?
A look of astonishment appeared on Duoduo's face.
She knew about Tang San. Before the Ouyang Family had the advanced Soul Weapons, it had been Tang San's loyal user and business partner. But once those advanced Soul Weapons appeared, the Tang Sect gradually declined, and the Ouyang Family ended its cooperation with Tang San.
The Tang Sect had now fallen into ruin. It no longer possessed the former glory of being the top sect on the continent.
Tang San from a past life... Could the Tang Sect rise again?
