"You brat, why can't you master your Haki yet!

Your Six Styles are already up to standard!

I see, it seems your will is not yet firm enough. Look at my fist and shout with me!

JUSTICE!!!

Yura Yura Yura!!!"

The stern reprimand echoed incessantly in his mind, causing Wang Chuan, a young boy with black hair and black eyes, to gasp and wake up from his dream.

He had been woken up by the pain!

Lying on his bed like a corpse for a moment, Wang Chuan let out a soft sigh, his face, having just turned six, filled with the weariness of a lifetime.

Because of a certain Great Luck Heavenly Venerable who refused to reveal his identity, Wang Chuan had been struck and sent flying into this world called Douluo Continent right after finishing overtime in his previous life.

Transmigration—every fan of novels has had such a fantasy.

At first, Wang Chuan was quite happy about it; after all, as an orphan, he had no real pressure in life, and who would want to be a corporate slave?

Moreover, Wang Chuan had a great start in this life, born into a branch family composed of descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon mutated martial soul.

But the problem was, at the age of three, after Wang Chuan awakened his past-life memories, he was bound to a cheat called Strongest Haki Inheritance.

Since then, he had spent every day using his adult body from his previous life to train his physique and cultivate Haki under the guidance of the Marine Admiral Black Arm Zephyr, feeding the resulting power back into his body in the real world.

And anyone who knows the Haki system from One Piece understands that it is simple and brutal.

You either gradually master it through battles with strong opponents.

Or you never wake up again—you die!

That was exactly Wang Chuan's current situation, though fortunately, this cheat had a safety mechanism: once Wang Chuan lost consciousness, he would wake up in the real world.

Wang Chuan skillfully put on his clothes, got out of bed, and began to wash up and prepare breakfast, a flicker of contemplation in his small eyes.

Sleeping to cultivate, getting knocked out, and then waking up—doesn't that mean he never actually slept?

Hiss... why does this setup feel so familiar?

Does this cheat happen to have another name like Blackbeard Template!?

Of course, Wang Chuan was just grumbling to pass the time.

After all, his adult soul could not integrate into the world of children, so he had developed a solitary personality over the years.

And today, he had finally reached the turning point of his destiny.

Martial Soul Awakening!

Wang Chuan glanced at the Armament Haki that briefly surfaced on his hand before quickly fading away, feeling that something was not quite right.

As a fan of One Piece, how could he not know the essence of Armament Haki? When it came down to it, it was nothing more than a copy of the Qi inherited from his ancestors.

Pure will and all that were just too mystical.

And when it came to will, ever since he learned that this world had supernatural powers, Wang Chuan had never stopped firming his heart to become stronger!

Combined with his vast life experience, Wang Chuan had actually guessed something long ago. At the very last moment before heading out, he whispered.

"It seems I have something like a 'Grandpa in a ring' hidden inside me.

Otherwise, how could I, with my mastered Six Styles, fail to manifest Haki!

Father's martial soul was the Golden Armored Crocodile, and Mother's was the Cold Spirit Nether Snake. Both are considered Sub-Dragon martial souls. It seems their bloodlines combined to produce some incredible mutation.

That must be why I can't manifest my Haki; it's all being sucked away by my martial soul.

Today, let me see exactly what kind of monster you are!"

Stepping out of his room, Wang Chuan headed straight for the clan's year-round martial soul awakening grounds.

Along the way, many people greeted Wang Chuan. Having shown remarkable quick-wittedness since he was young, he was well-liked by the adults.

Of course, some also looked at him with pity.

The reason was simple: the fact that Wang Chuan washed up and cooked for himself was proof enough that his parents in this life were already dead.

Wang Chuan had been sad about this for a while, as his parents in this life had truly loved him.

But Wang Chuan also knew there was no helping it, as the cultivation system of Douluo Continent was just like that—without obtaining a spirit ring, one would be stuck at a certain realm.

And spirit rings came from supernatural creatures called spirit beasts.

Only by hunting them could one obtain their spirit rings, which had created a situation of natural hostility between humans and spirit beasts on Douluo Continent.

In the process of hunting spirit beasts, the beasts were generally stronger than humans. Although Wang Chuan's parents both had Sub-Dragon martial souls and usually didn't have to worry about this, the complex environment of the spirit beast forests, and the slim chance of running into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, were external factors that could claim a spirit master's life at any time.

Therefore, spirit masters usually hunted in groups, with the strong leading the weak.

For his parents to rely on their own strength and go as a duo, in the eyes of the current Wang Chuan, was truly not taking their own lives seriously.

Couldn't they have found more friends to go hunting with?

They had to show off, and look at the trouble it caused the child—becoming an orphan at such a young age!

Fortunately, although Wang Chuan was now only part of a branch family of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

As a branch of one of the Upper Three Sects, even though Wang Chuan's parents had both passed away, he could still live quite comfortably; at the very least, he didn't have to worry about food and drink, nor would he end up malnourished like the future protagonist.

It is worth mentioning that after many years of observation.

Wang Chuan discovered that he had been born during the time when Yu Xiaogang was still young, though he was six years his junior, and the overall aesthetic of this world leaned toward that of a comic book.

Upon learning this information, Wang Chuan was incredibly happy at the time.

Because this meant that the resources of the Douluo Continent had not yet been monopolized by the "pure and noble" Tang San, leaving plenty of room for him to maneuver.

Besides that, the comic version of the Douluo Continent was what had gotten him into the series in the first place, and the True Body Armor was just too cool!

Soon, Wang Chuan arrived at a small villa located in the center of the clan grounds.

This was the place responsible for spirit awakening, and the person presiding over the ceremony was an elderly man who looked to be sixty or seventy years old.

This man was named Wang Lie, a contemporary of Wang Chuan's late grandfather and his close friend, so he had always taken good care of Wang Chuan.

Therefore, Wang Chuan said politely and enthusiastically.

"Good morning, Grandpa Lie. Sorry to trouble you with awakening my spirit."

Wang Lie chuckled. Because he was a spirit master, even though he was old, he still gave off a very robust impression.

"It's little Chuan. I can't believe you're already six years old in the blink of an eye. Come, come, stand on the array, and Grandpa will awaken your spirit for you right now."

At such an important moment, even with the mindset of an adult, Wang Chuan couldn't help but feel nervous, and he stepped quickly into the center of the Hexagram Array.

In an instant, the array shone brilliantly, and a large amount of golden light emerged, illuminating the previously dim room.

Seeing this, Wang Chuan's face lit up with joy, because such a phenomenon was a sign of a very high-quality spirit!

It seemed that although his spirit might have issues, the foundation was absolutely beyond reproach, similar to Tang San's spirit.

This immediately gave Wang Chuan even more confidence in his future quest to reach the pinnacle of power!

Suddenly, Wang Chuan felt a pulling force, and the spirit power within his body gathered before his eyes, manifesting as a round golden spirit mark on the back of his right hand.

However, after seeing the true appearance of his spirit, the smile on Wang Chuan's face froze instantly.

Because Wang Chuan's spirit was a rare external beast spirit, with golden skin, a pair of small horns on its head, and a look that was neither pig nor dog.

Although it gave off a rather cute feeling, a spirit with this appearance was a household name within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

A look of astonishment also appeared in Wang Lie's eyes.

"How could it be this spirit? Little Chuan's parents..."

Wang Lie, who was just about to question his life, suddenly remembered that Yu Xiaogang's father was the strongest Title Douluo in the sect, and yet he still suffered a malignant mutation that resulted in that sorry state.

So, it seemed there was nothing left to say.

Wang Lie sighed, gently patted Wang Chuan's little head, thinking the boy was sad, and then comforted him.

"It's alright, little Chuan. If the spirit is a bit lacking, it's just lacking. Being a spirit master isn't the only path in life.

You are still young and have plenty of opportunities. Come, let's test your spirit power first."

Wang Chuan nodded slightly, but how could Wang Lie know that Wang Chuan wasn't sad at all.

He was clearly struggling to suppress a smile that was harder to hold back than an AK!

After all, what was wrong with Luo Sanpao?

This was absolutely fantastic!

As long as he could get his hands on some immortal herbs later, he could ascend to the heavens on the spot! When the time came to ride the Golden Sacred Dragon, Wang Chuan couldn't even imagine how awesome it would be!
