Douluo Continent, Soul Hunting Forest.

The scruffy-bearded middle-aged man gently patted the bamboo stalk, his tone tinged with a hint of pride.

"This is a ten-year Solitary Bamboo. Its characteristics are toughness; although its attack power is weak, its defensive capabilities are quite good. It suits your Blue Silver Grass quite well!"

The young boy stood obediently before the man, his eyes filled with admiration as he watched the other party identify all the information about this soul beast with just a single glance.

The expression on his face was one of pure longing for the soul ring he was about to absorb and the breakthrough of his Mysterious Heaven Skill bottleneck.

I truly didn't choose the wrong teacher. Such extensive theoretical knowledge—even a Titled Douluo would be hard-pressed to match it.

"Then..."

It was obvious that the boy was already eager to give it a try!

But the middle-aged man changed his tone, stood with his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, and spoke unhurriedly.

"However, the age is still too low. Let's keep looking; if we truly can't find anything suitable, we will choose this one."

At these words, the boy felt no frustration at being unable to absorb the soul ring; instead, he felt delighted by the middle-aged man's careful planning for his strength.

Following this, the old and the young walked deeper into the forest...

After the two left, the area returned to silence once more.

The Solitary Bamboo that had just been patted by the middle-aged man suddenly shuddered, its leaves rustling!

"Phew~ they're finally gone!"

Chen Xing, formerly a person from Blue Star.

In his last memory, he seemed to have been playing Teamfight Tactics before falling asleep.

As a result, when he woke up, he discovered that he had actually turned into a bamboo shoot in the forest.

After a heavy rain, his body began to grow wildly, and finally, this morning, he grew into a stalk of bamboo.

Before he could even figure out the situation in the vicinity, the scene that just occurred took place.

Those familiar lines of dialogue reminded Chen Xing of his memories from his past life!

[Hextech God-Making System successfully bound]

[Hextech quality draw about to begin]

Before he could think it through carefully, a mechanical female voice suddenly appeared in his mind, and at the same time, a pale blue light screen appeared!

On the light screen, card packs of three colors rotated rapidly, dazzling to the eyes.

Before long, Chen Xing saw clearly that the scrolling card packs only came in three colors:

Silver, Gold, and Prismatic!

The rotation speed gradually slowed down, and a silver card pack finally stopped in the center of the light screen, then slowly unfolded.

[Open Lay] Unable to cultivate for the next 3 years; reward of 10,000 years of cultivation after 3 years.

[Silver Spoon] Immediately gain 1,000 years of cultivation.

[Unconventional] Immediately transform into a human.

Three option buttons hovered within the light screen, leaving Chen Xing stunned!

Is this really Douluo Continent!

Those two just now were undoubtedly Tang San and Yu Xiaogang; to think he was born in the same era as them!

His heart surged with excitement. If he could become a god on this continent...

Thinking of this, he began to observe his current situation.

It was obvious that he was currently a ten-year Solitary Bamboo, the very one that almost became the soul ring for the God King Tang.

Now that he had obtained the Hextech System, although the difficulty of starting as a soul beast was high, fortunately, there was still room to maneuver.

Among the three options, [Unconventional] was undoubtedly the most suitable for his current predicament, as it could save him from needing 100,000 years of cultivation and allow him to transform directly.

He just didn't know what the difference was between this and a hundred-thousand-year soul beast transforming into a human, but at least he could cultivate in a human form.

Otherwise, he couldn't possibly be the only hundred-thousand-year Solitary Bamboo in this Soul Hunting Forest!

As he confirmed his choice, a burst of emerald green light surged around his body.

Chen Xing only felt his whole body warm, as if he were soaking in a hot spring!

Before long, his body gained sensation.

The light dissipated, the Solitary Bamboo vanished, and a six-year-old boy appeared in the center of the clearing.

The boy wore a dark green robe, his posture upright, and a few strands of black hair brushed across his forehead with the breeze, perfectly accentuating his spirited, sword-like brows.

As his soul power circulated, a Solitary Bamboo manifested before Chen Xing.

The bamboo stalk was emerald green, slender and straight, resembling a long sword!

"This is... an autonomous martial soul awakening?"

He could clearly feel a connection of heart and mind with this Solitary Bamboo.

Chen Xing slowly extended his right hand to grip the base, and a feeling of natural harmony welled up within him; at this moment, he felt just like a swordsman in a bamboo forest!

[Name: Chen Xing] [Martial Soul: Solitary Bamboo] [Soul Power Level: 0.1] [Soul Ring: None] [Soul Bone: None] [Innate Skill: Wild Growth -- Consumes soul power to increase one's own cultivation speed] [Available Draws: (0/9)]

The pale blue light screen reappeared, and as Chen Xing looked at the data listed upon it, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

A Soul Power Level of 0.1 was truly low!

Fortunately, he still had an innate skill.

He just didn't know if his current state would lead to his identity as a soul beast being discovered by Haozi.

For the sake of safety, it was better to leave the Soul Hunting Forest first.

As for cultivation, having transmigrated once, following the standard step-by-step path would be a bit... foolish!

An innate soul power of 0.1 was even lower than that of Yu Xiaogang, and the only difference between him and an ordinary person was that he could cultivate.

However, as a soul beast in human form, his cultivation speed was not affected; on the contrary, it was much faster than that of an ordinary person.

Coupled with his innate skill, it might even be faster than the cultivation of Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill.

But as a transmigrator, he always had to eat well to nourish his body, such as the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone right in front of him!

There was no helping it; since two transmigrators existed on this continent at the same time, a battle would be inevitable in the future.

If he let Tang San become a god first, then it would likely be useless even if he found many other god inheritances.

He still remembered the "good deeds" that "Buddha Tang" had committed after becoming a god!

As such, it wasn't that he insisted on suppressing Tang San, but that he had to become a god before him, otherwise all his efforts would fall short.

Tang San had the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, and he, Chen Xing, had the Hextech Lottery System.

Moreover, if he had the help of a hundred thousand year soul bone from the very start, who knew who would become a god first in the future!

So what if his soul power was 0.1? Relying on his foresight, Chen Xing held the majority of the opportunities on the entire continent; he was only afraid that Tang San wouldn't be able to keep up with his pace.

Having made up his mind, Chen Xing headed in the direction from which Tang San and the other had come.

On the other side, Tang Hao had witnessed from the shadows how Yu Xiaogang had been poisoned and how Tang San had killed the Datura Snake.

Seeing this so-called "Master" looking like he was about to die, he had even intended to step in personally.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Tang San had managed to deal with the soul beast using his strange methods.

However, this result did not put Tang Hao at ease; instead, he began to wonder where Tang San had learned his techniques.

As a Titled Douluo, the anomalies in Tang San's behavior since childhood could not escape his discerning eyes.

That strange movement technique, the purple eyes that occasionally glowed with a faint light, and the fact that a child who hadn't even awakened his martial soul was actually practicing meditation!

Everything was enough to prove that Tang San was simply not an ordinary person!

Tang Hao often comforted himself, thinking that perhaps the offspring of a soul beast and a human was just naturally gifted and different from ordinary people from a young age.

But now, seeing Tang San use that strange throwing technique again, Tang Hao couldn't help but fall into doubt once more.

This prompted him to keep observing from the shadows nearby recently.
