Cultivation System, Cultivation Chamber

"Ha ha ha, our Emperor Soul Village is finally going to produce another Soul Master." Old John could not stop tears from streaming down his face.

"Xiao Xian, the village's Work-Study Student slot is yours. You must cultivate diligently."

Wang Xian's little face turned solemn. "Grandpa Village Chief, I'll definitely work hard and become a Soul Master to repay the village."

"Good child." Old John looked deeply gratified.

"Come on, let's go home. Grandpa will make you a feast today."

Old John took Wang Xian's hand and headed home with him.

Although Emperor Soul Village was not particularly wealthy, Old John's house was quite decent as the village chief's residence, with three bedrooms and a living room.

Unfortunately, before adopting Wang Xian, he had lived there alone.

In his younger years, he had had a wife and a child, but both had died in separate accidents, leaving him all alone in the end.

That was precisely why he had chosen to adopt Wang Xian.

After returning home, Wang Xian entered his room and lay on his bed, pondering his future.

What could he do to make his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul stronger and become a Soul Master capable of rivaling Tang Hao?

No, merely rivaling Tang Hao would not be enough. He also had to be able to defeat Tang San.

Tang San, that sect slave who had transmigrated from a feudal world, still carried the rotten mindset of feudalism. His attitude toward Tang Hao could only be described as blind filial piety.

Even though Tang Hao had never cared for him and instead needed Tang San to care for him and cook his meals.

It could be said that before Tang San awakened his Twin Martial Souls, Tang Hao had never treated him as a son at all.

Yet Tang San still accepted it gladly, holding Tang Hao in both awe and respect.

To take revenge on Tang Hao, he had to get past Tang San.

Immortal Herbs were the first thing that came to Wang Xian's mind.

After all, they were the one thing on Douluo Continent truly capable of defying fate and changing one's destiny.

Among the Shrek Seven Devils, aside from Tang San, none of the others truly possessed the potential to become gods.

Yet after consuming Immortal Herbs, they all gained the ability to become second-class gods.

If he could obtain an Immortal Herb, becoming a god might be impossible, but escaping the fate of a Trash Martial Soul was certainly achievable.

But the Immortal Herbs were in Dugu Bo's medicine garden. How was a Soul Master with only level-three Innate Soul Power supposed to get close to Dugu Bo?

"Ugh, none of this will work." Wang Xian sighed helplessly.

Just as he sighed, a cold mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

"The Martial Soul Cultivation System has been bound. Would you like to open the System Panel for Martial Soul Cultivation?"

"A system?" Wang Xian, who had been sighing moments before, immediately lit up.

With a system, what was there left to sigh about?

This was an essential item for transmigrators. Every one of them had the power to defy fate and change destiny.

"Cultivation System, let's see what you can do."

"Open the System Panel," Wang Xian silently commanded.

Martial Soul Cultivation System.

Host: Wang Xian.

Age: Six.

Innate Soul Power: Level Three.

Martial Soul Quality: F-rank (Trash Martial Soul).

Martial Soul Cultivation Points: 0.

Martial Soul Cultivation Chamber: Place a Martial Soul inside. Cultivation Points can be spent to cultivate the Martial Soul. (One free cultivation opportunity.)

Martial Soul Training Camp (Locked). Unlock requirement: Capture one Martial Soul.

Soul Skill Cultivation (Locked). Unlock requirement: Obtain the First Soul Ring.

Form Cultivation (Locked). Unlock requirement: Martial Soul Quality reaches E-rank.

Would you like to begin Martial Soul Cultivation?

Looking at the dazzling panel full of still-locked functions, Wang Xian's heart surged with excitement.

Since the other functions were still locked, he focused on the Martial Soul Cultivation Chamber.

"Begin Martial Soul Cultivation," Wang Xian silently commanded.

Martial Soul Cultivation: Blue Silver Grass (F-rank).

Please choose a cultivation direction. 1. Life. 2. Poison.

Wang Xian stared intently at the two options.

"Life attribute and Poison attribute."

Naturally, he understood both directions very well.

One was the path most suitable for Blue Silver Grass, since its innate attribute was powerful vitality.

The other was the direction Tang San had cultivated his Blue Silver Grass in, adding Poison attributes to his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Between those two attributes, Wang Xian did not hesitate in the slightest before choosing the Life attribute.

Choosing the Poison attribute for a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul might not be wrong, and it could produce some different effects.

But it was absolutely nowhere near as powerful as the Life attribute.

Tang San's Martial Soul could later awaken into Blue Silver Grass, allowing it to withstand the consequences of fusing Poison-attribute Soul Rings.

If other Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters dared to fuse Poison-attribute Soul Rings, they would basically be useless in the later stages.

Cultivation direction selected.

Martial Soul Cultivation Chamber: Blue Silver Grass (Cultivating).

Martial Soul Quality: F~E (1%). Estimated completion time: Three days.

Martial Soul Cultivation Direction: Life.

"Still three days to go." Wang Xian was somewhat disappointed, but he could accept it.

Cultivation naturally required time.

He did not close the panel and instead began studying the several functions that had yet to be unlocked.

His gaze first settled on the Martial Soul Training Camp below the Martial Soul Cultivation Chamber.

The unlock requirements for Soul Skill Cultivation and Form Cultivation were understandable.

Only the Martial Soul Training Camp's unlock requirement seemed far too abstract.

What did it mean to capture a Martial Soul?

Martial Souls were not Soul Beasts, so how could they be captured?

"System, how do I capture a Martial Soul?" Wang Xian asked tentatively.

To his surprise, the system actually responded.

"Defeat a Martial Soul owner to capture their Martial Soul and send it into the Training Camp."

Wang Xian's eyes immediately shone. "So that's how it is."

Moreover, he noticed that the system's keyword was Martial Soul owner, not Soul Master.

That meant that even ordinary people without Soul Power could be defeated and have their Martial Souls captured, so long as they possessed Martial Souls.

"After capturing a Martial Soul, will its owner's Martial Soul disappear?" Wang Xian continued asking.

The system remained concise. "No."

"It won't disappear."

Wang Xian immediately smiled. That meant he could challenge the children in the village.

Although his Blue Silver Grass was weak, he was certainly stronger than the other children who had only just awakened their Martial Souls, thanks to his level-three Soul Power.

Just as he was eager to try and planned to find someone to challenge, a loud shout rang out.

Old John called, "Xiao Xian, come eat! The food is ready!"

"Coming, Grandpa." Wang Xian could only set the thought aside for now and shouted back.

At this time, the two children who had just awakened their Martial Souls were surely feeling dejected. It would not be appropriate to go fight them right away.

There were still three months before he left for Notting Academy, so there was no need to rush.

When he arrived in the dining room, Old John had prepared a table full of dishes, complete in color, aroma, and flavor.

Wang Xian's appetite was instantly aroused. Old John served him a bowl of rice and smiled. "Eat up, child."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Wang Xian dug in without ceremony.
