"Innate Soul Power, Rank 3."

A delicate and pretty, slightly frail child looked at the light glowing atop the crystal ball. Surprise flashed through his eyes, followed by disappointment.

His name was Ye Xiao.

Six years ago, he had been reborn into the world of Douluo Continent.

Unfortunately, his parents had been irresponsible and directly abandoned him in the current Small Village.

Since childhood, Ye Xiao had lived with the Village Chief, growing up on food provided by every household.

Even his surname had come from the Village Chief.

It could be said that the Village Chief was his real grandpa.

As a transmigrator, Ye Xiao had thought he would have a system. Even without one, he should at least have been given a Golden Finger.

Unfortunately, it seemed he had none.

Looking at the Stone Jade Seal in his hand, Ye Xiao was still somewhat bewildered. After all, this was the first time he had heard of a Jade Seal-type Martial Soul.

He did not have a Golden Finger, but at least he possessed Soul Power.

Although it was only Rank 3 Innate Soul Power, he could at least cultivate.

If he found the Mysterious Ice Fire Eyes, an essential destination for transmigrators, perhaps he could still become a Titled Douluo in this lifetime.

He could also properly develop Ye Family Village, allowing all the uncles and aunts to live good lives.

That was Ye Xiao's current wish. As for becoming a god, that was still far too distant for him.

Without an immense stroke of fortune, it would be impossible.

"Child, you are the only one in your village with Soul Power. Though it is only a Trash Martial Soul, do not give up." Su Yuntao rubbed Ye Xiao's head.

Hearing Su Yuntao's words, Ye Xiao's mood immediately improved considerably.

Since the certification had come from the Blind Douluo, that meant his Martial Soul might not necessarily be a Trash Martial Soul.

After all, it still had Soul Power.

Trash Martial Souls with Soul Power were exceedingly rare. Most only had one or two ranks of Soul Power, while he had a full three ranks!

Even if it was a Trash Martial Soul, it was the fighter jet among Trash Martial Souls!

"Lord Soul Master, I understand. I will definitely cultivate diligently."

After leaving Spirit Hall.

Ye Xiao saw Grandpa Ye's hunched back.

Ye Xiao did not know his grandpa's name. Everyone else called him the Village Chief, Old Master, or something similar.

"Xiao Wazi, how did it go?" Grandpa Ye slowly walked over.

Ye Xiao smiled. "Grandpa, I awakened a Martial Soul, and I have Rank 3 Innate Soul Power."

Grandpa Ye laughed heartily, his voice full of vigor. "Hahaha, I knew our Xiao Wazi could do it. You are the only one in our village to awaken Soul Power this year, so our work-study student spot will go to you."

"Okay." Ye Xiao nodded.

Although he was reluctant to leave the village, Ye Xiao knew that only by becoming a powerful Soul Master could he return and properly repay the village.

"Come on, let's go home."

"Mm."

Ye Family Village lay deep in the mountains, nestled against the foot of a mountain.

The houses were all old-fashioned, with gray tiles and earth walls. Some of the plaster had already become mottled.

There was also an Old Scholar Tree at the village entrance, older than the oldest person in the village, with an enormous tree crown.

A narrow dirt road stretched in from the village entrance, packed firm by countless footsteps.

Ye Xiao and Grandpa Ye walked along the dirt road.

"Xiao Wazi is back!" Third Grandpa, returning from the fields with a hoe over his shoulder, grinned from afar, revealing his sparse teeth.

"Hey, Third Grandpa, you went out to the fields? Take it slow, all right?" Ye Xiao stopped, his eyebrows and eyes curving with a smile.

"I know, I know. I'm an old man already. How did the Martial Soul awakening go today?"

"Third Grandpa, of course I succeeded in awakening it. I'll be going to Soul Master Academy to study soon." Ye Xiao smiled.

"Hahaha, good, good!" Third Grandpa smiled even more happily.

After only a few more steps, Aunt Chun from next door came out of her yard to pour out water. When she spotted him, her voice rang out brightly. "Xiao Wazi! Coming over for lunch? Your Brother Zhuzi caught a big fat fish yesterday!"

"Thank you, Aunt Chun! I awakened my Martial Soul today, so I need to study it a little. I'll definitely come another day!"

"Good boy, what great talent!"

At the corner, a Little Girl with pigtails came wobbling out, holding an unripe green peach in her hand.

When she saw Ye Xiao, her eyes lit up, and she called out happily, "Brother Xiao!"

Ye Xiao crouched down and rubbed her head. "Er Ya, be good. The peach isn't ripe yet. If you eat it, caterpillars will grow in your tummy."

As he spoke, Ye Xiao took out a Fruit Candy and placed it in her little hand.

Er Yantou kissed Ye Xiao on the cheek, then ran off in delight.

Ye Xiao did not know whether to laugh or cry.

All along the way, greetings never stopped.

Ye Xiao paused to exchange a few words with each person.

The smile on his face never faded; it came straight from his heart.

Although Ye Family Village did not have many people, Soul Masters, or money, they treated others sincerely, and they treated Ye Xiao especially well.

After returning home.

Ye Xiao entered his room.

He summoned his Stone Jade Seal.

A tiny seal quietly floated above Ye Xiao's palm.

It truly was not large, just enough to fit in one hand.

Its material was nothing more than ordinary black stone, and it did not look glossy or lustrous.

Instead, it carried a weathered sense of age. It was utterly ordinary.

Ye Xiao had no idea what use this Martial Soul could have.

Could it be used to smash people?

But it was so small and could not grow bigger. How was he supposed to smash anyone with it?

Ye Xiao had a headache.

If it had been a sword or a knife, Ye Xiao could have begun planning for the future.

Yet it had turned out to be a Jade Seal.

Could it evolve into the Imperial Seal or something?

Even though Ye Xiao had the Blind Douluo's certification, he knew that was just a meme.

"Still, I should try it first."

Ye Xiao found several walnuts.

He picked one up and placed it on the table. Holding the Jade Seal in his right hand, he aimed its base at the walnut and pressed down.

"Crack."

He did not even feel any resistance before the walnut shell slowly shattered, revealing the intact kernel inside.

Ye Xiao froze.

"This hardness... seems pretty impressive."

His curiosity had been piqued.

He wanted to see just how hard this Jade Seal could be.

Bang!

Smack!!

Ye Xiao's movements were clean and decisive.

All the walnuts were effortlessly crushed.

He even began searching for harder objects.

Green bricks, pebbles, and so on.

After a long while, Ye Xiao crouched down and picked up a piece of crushed stone for a look.

"Tsk... setting everything else aside, this Jade Seal is seriously hard. Even without a Spirit Ability, I can use it to smash people. It has some combat power, at least. For now, it's still better than Blue Silver Grass without a Spirit Ring."

It was just that the recoil made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

He shook his slightly numb right hand.

Suddenly, a mechanical voice appeared abruptly in his mind.

[Ding!]

[Ye Family Bloodline detected. Loving Family Chat Group successfully bound.]

[Do you agree to join the 'Loving Family' Chat Group?]

[Yes/No.]

Ye Xiao's expression froze, then the corner of his mouth curved upward.

"My Golden Finger has finally arrived. I knew it... without a Golden Finger, what kind of transmigrator would I be?"

"Yes!"

(The protagonist knew the original Douluo story. However, he would pretend not to know it in the Chat Group, because the protagonist and his descendants were from parallel worlds. The protagonist of their era was not a transmigrator and did not know the original plot.)
