Douluo Continent, Soul Hunting Forest.
The bearded middle-aged man gently patted the bamboo stalk, his tone carrying a faint hint of pride.
"This is a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo. It is resilient; although its attack power is weak, its defense is decent. It suits your Blue Silver Grass quite well!"
The young man stood obediently before him. Seeing that the man had identified all the Soul Beast's information with just one glance, his eyes brimmed with admiration.
His face was filled with anticipation for absorbing a Soul Ring and breaking through the bottleneck of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Sure enough, I hadn't chosen the wrong teacher. With such extensive theoretical knowledge, even a Title Douluo wouldn't surpass him by much.
"Then..."
Clearly, the young man was already eager to give it a try!
But the middle-aged man changed the subject. Standing with his hands behind his back, he raised his head at a forty-five-degree angle to gaze at the sky and said unhurriedly,
"However, its age is still too low. Let's keep looking. If we truly can't find anything suitable, then we'll choose it."
At those words, the young man was not disappointed at all that he could not absorb the Soul Ring. Instead, he was delighted by the middle-aged man's plans for his development.
Soon after, the old man and the young man headed deeper into the woods...
After the two left, the area fell silent once more.
The Solitary Bamboo that the middle-aged man had patted suddenly trembled, its leaves rustling!
"Phew... they're finally gone!"
Chen Xing, formerly a resident of Blue Star.
In his final memory, he seemed to have been playing Golden Spatula before falling asleep.
But when he woke up, he discovered that he had somehow turned into a bamboo shoot in a forest.
After a heavy rain, his body began to undergo Wild Growth, and he had finally grown into a bamboo stalk that morning.
Before he could figure out the situation nearby, the scene from earlier had happened.
That familiar conversation stirred memories from his previous life in Chen Xing's mind!
[Hextech God-Making System binding successful]
[Hextech Quality Draw will begin shortly]
Before he could think it through, a mechanical female voice suddenly rang out in his mind. At the same time, a pale-blue screen appeared!
Three differently colored card packs spun rapidly across the screen, dazzling the eye.
It took Chen Xing a while to see that there were only three kinds of card packs rolling past, namely:
Silver, gold, and rainbow!
The spinning gradually slowed, and the silver card pack finally stopped in the center of the screen before slowly unfolding.
[Open Lay] Unable to cultivate for the next 3 years. Receive 10,000 years of cultivation upon completion.
[Silver Spoon] Immediately gain 1,000 years of cultivation.
[Unconventional] Immediately transform into a human.
Three option buttons floated on the screen, leaving Chen Xing stunned!
So this really was Douluo Continent!
Those two people just now had to be Tang San and Yu Xiaogang. He had actually been born in the same era as them!
Excitement surged in his heart. If he could become a god on this continent...
With that thought, he began examining his current condition.
Clearly, he was now a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo—the very one that had nearly become God King Tang's Soul Ring.
Now that he had obtained the Hextech System, starting out as a Soul Beast might have a rather high difficulty level, but fortunately, there was still room to maneuver.
Of the three options, [Unconventional] was undoubtedly the most suitable for his current situation. After all, it could save him one hundred thousand years of cultivation and let him transform directly.
He just did not know how this transformation differed from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast cultivating anew as a human, but at least he would be able to cultivate in human form.
Otherwise, was he supposed to become the only Hundred-Thousand-Year Solitary Bamboo in this Soul Hunting Forest?
As he made his choice, a wave of emerald-green light surged around him.
Chen Xing only felt warmth spread through his entire body, as if he were soaking in a hot spring!
Before long, he regained sensation in his body.
When the light faded, the Solitary Bamboo had vanished, and a six-year-old boy stood in the middle of the clearing.
The boy wore a dark-green robe, his posture straight and upright. Several loose black strands of hair brushed over his brow in the breeze, perfectly accentuating his spirited sword-like eyebrows.
As Soul Power flowed, a Solitary Bamboo appeared before Chen Xing.
Its body was emerald green, long and straight like a sword!
"This is... a Martial Soul awakening on its own?"
He could clearly feel that he and this Solitary Bamboo were connected in heart and mind.
Chen Xing slowly extended his right hand and gripped its lower end. A natural sense of harmony arose within him. At this moment, he was like a swordsman in a Bamboo Forest!
[Name: Chen Xing] [Martial Soul: Solitary Bamboo] [Soul Power Level: 0.1] [Soul Rings: None] [Soul Bones: None] [Talent Skill: Wild Growth—Consumes Soul Power to increase cultivation speed] [Available Draws: (0/9)]
The pale-blue panel appeared again. Looking at the information displayed on it, Chen Xing's lips twitched slightly.
Soul Power Level 0.1 was truly absurdly low!
Still, at least he had a talent skill.
He just did not know whether Haozi would discover that he was a Soul Beast in his current state.
To be safe, he should leave the Soul Hunting Forest first.
As for cultivation, having transmigrated once, following the usual step-by-step path would be a little... stupid!
His Innate Soul Power was 0.1, even lower than Yu Xiaogang's. The only difference between him and an ordinary person was that he could cultivate.
Fortunately, as a Soul Beast who had transformed into human form, his cultivation speed had not been affected. On the contrary, it was much faster than that of ordinary people.
Combined with his talent skill, he might cultivate even faster than Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill.
But as a transmigrator, he had to give himself some better nourishment—such as the "Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone" right before him!
It could not be helped. Since this continent had two transmigrators at the same time, a battle between them would inevitably come in the future.
If Tang San became a god first, then no matter how many divine inheritances Chen Xing found, they would probably be useless.
He still remembered the "good deeds" that "Buddha Tang" had done after becoming a god!
Thus, it was not that he insisted on suppressing Tang San. He simply had to become a god before him, or all his efforts would come to nothing.
Tang San had the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record; he, Chen Xing, had the Hextech Lottery System.
And if he had the aid of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone from the very beginning, who knew which of them would become a god first in the future!
What did Soul Power Level 0.1 matter? With his foreknowledge, Chen Xing held most of the opportunities across the entire continent in his grasp. He only feared that Tang San would be unable to keep up with him.
Having made up his mind, Chen Xing headed in the direction Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had come from earlier.
Elsewhere, Tang Hao had personally witnessed from the shadows how Yu Xiaogang had been poisoned and how Tang San had killed the Datura Snake.
Seeing this so-called Grandmaster on the verge of collapse, he had even planned to intervene directly.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Tang San used his strange methods to deal with the Soul Beast.
Yet this result did not reassure Tang Hao. Instead, it made him begin wondering where Tang San had learned those techniques.
As a Title Douluo, none of Tang San's abnormalities since childhood had escaped his notice.
That bizarre movement technique, those purple eyes that occasionally glimmered, and the fact that a child whose Martial Soul had not even awakened could sit in meditation to cultivate!
Everything was enough to prove that Tang San was no ordinary person!
Tang Hao often comforted himself by thinking that perhaps the offspring of a Soul Beast and a human were simply naturally gifted and different from ordinary people from childhood.
But now that he had seen Tang San use that strange throwing technique again, Tang Hao could not help falling into doubt once more.
It was what had prompted him to keep secretly observing nearby lately.
