Awakening, Wood Element, the System That Arrived Late!

Awakening, Wood Element, the System That Arrived Late!

"Two and a half years! A whole two and a half years! Why hasn't my Golden Finger arrived yet?!"

Holy Spirit Village, on a small hillside, a little boy lay quietly on the ground, basking in the sun with nothing left to live for.

His name was Su Ming, and he could barely be considered a transmigrator.

He had not possessed someone else's body. Instead, he had been properly reborn into the world of Douluo. When he was three and a half, the memories of his past life had suddenly awakened. He was six this year, and today was the day he would awaken his Martial Soul.

In his previous life, he had been an utterly ordinary college student who enjoyed all kinds of novels and anime.

One night, while crossing the street, he had suddenly been struck by a wildly speeding truck. He was sent flying a long distance, blood pouring from him as Su Ming's consciousness gradually faded.

He even seemed to see the truck's owner smile faintly at him. What kind of person did that?

But having read countless novels and all their familiar tropes, he knew this scene well.

Looking at that smiling face, Su Ming seemed to hear him say, "Kid, you've just transmigrated. I've met my quota for today. Have a pleasant journey in another world!"

Then he drove off in his truck without a care in the world!

Su Ming: ******.

Just as Su Ming was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly remembered something. With his last breath, he pulled out his phone, cracked from the impact, from his pocket and factory-reset it!

A man could die, but he could not die socially!

Su Ming stared blankly at the sky. He had originally thought that after recovering the memories of his past life, his system or Golden Finger would arrive along with them. Yet two and a half years had passed without the slightest sign of either, and Su Ming was panicking.

During the years he had spent reborn in Holy Spirit Village, Su Ming had no memories of his parents. He only knew that they had died in a Soul Beast attack, while he himself had been raised by the village chief, Old Jack.

Today was the day of the Martial Soul awakening. He did not dare hope to awaken some heaven-defying Martial Soul. He only hoped that he would possess Soul Power, even if it was only one or two levels. Otherwise, he would not even be able to cultivate and would be stuck like this for the rest of his life!

After recovering his memories, he had waited half a year without receiving any news from a system. By then, he had already given up hope.

Since no system was coming, he had only one option left: build a good relationship with Tang San.

But when he thought of Tang San's character... In his previous life, he had not understood much at first and thought Tang San seemed decent enough. Yet the further he watched the anime, the more he felt that Tang San's values were rather questionable. He was a complete hypocrite!

He had eventually dropped the anime altogether, so he immediately abandoned the idea of befriending Tang San.

Suddenly, a voice came from the distance.

"Su Ming, I knew you'd be here. Hurry and come with me. The awakening ceremony is about to begin, and we can't keep that Lord Soul Master waiting!"

Su Ming immediately got up and said, "Got it, Grandpa Jack!"

As Old Jack led Su Ming away, he said, "I hope you can become a Soul Master. It has been so long since anyone from our Holy Spirit Village became one!"

Su Ming did not know what to say. If possible, he also wanted to awaken a Martial Soul that could cultivate. But that was not something he could decide. Without any Golden Finger, this was his only hope for now!

Soon, led by Old Jack, Su Ming arrived before a small wooden house. This was the outpost established in the village by Spirit Hall to help commoner children awaken their Martial Souls.

Su Ming was the last to arrive. Looking over the crowd, he spotted an ordinary-looking, blue-haired, somewhat thin little boy standing alone to one side, seeming rather out of place.

Then Old Jack respectfully said to Su Yuntao, "Honored Lord Soul Master, everyone has arrived. Thank you for waiting."

Su Yuntao merely nodded and said flatly, "All right. I do not have much time, so we will begin the awakening ceremony now!"

His gaze then fell upon the children as he said gently, "Children, stand in a line. I will now awaken your Martial Souls."

"My name is Su Yuntao. I am a Level 26 Soul Grandmaster and your guide. No matter what happens later, do not be afraid!"

Su Ming secretly examined this guide, who had been quite famous online in his previous life. He was known as the Blind Douluo!

He was fairly handsome and treated commoners like them kindly. Unfortunately, he was a little blind.

Next, Su Yuntao took six black stones and a blue Crystal Ball from his bag. After arranging them into a hexagon, he shouted, "Lone Wolf, possess me!"

A purple wolf-shaped Martial Soul immediately appeared behind him. Su Yuntao suddenly became immensely imposing, his muscles swelling considerably as two Soul Rings, one white and one yellow, lit up beneath his feet!

The children waiting to awaken their Martial Souls turned pale with fright and retreated several steps. Some were even so scared that they began to cry.

Su Ming himself took a step back beneath that pressure. Looking at Su Yuntao's dark green eyes and the Lone Wolf behind him, it would have been impossible to say he was not afraid. After all, he was now a participant in reality, not a viewer watching anime in his previous life!

Su Ming forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and secretly glanced toward Tang San. Though Tang San's face had also turned somewhat pale, he had not retreated like Su Ming had. It seemed that as a killer in his previous life, Tang San's mental fortitude was indeed very strong!

However, Su Ming noticed Tang San's right hand. His knuckles had turned white from clenching it so tightly. That was clearly a sign of nervousness, but even so, Tang San was doing far better than him!

Naturally, Su Yuntao noticed Tang San and Su Ming as well. He secretly praised their courage and hoped they would awaken Martial Souls and possess Soul Power!

Then Su Yuntao casually grabbed a child and placed him inside the hexagonal formation. "Do not move. If you can awaken Martial Souls, you will also be able to possess abilities like mine. Now, place your right hand on this blue Crystal Ball and see what Martial Soul you awaken!"

A moment later, a sickle appeared in the little boy's right hand. He was then tested for Soul Power, but unfortunately, he had none!

"Blue Silver Grass, no Soul Power."

"Hoe, no Soul Power."

Very soon, only Su Ming and Tang San had yet to awaken their Martial Souls. Su Yuntao had already lost all hope, since not a single one of the children before them possessed Soul Power!

"Next, Su Ming!"

Hearing his name, Su Ming nervously stepped forward and placed his hand on the Crystal Ball.

Su Yuntao injected Soul Power. A moment later, a green ball of light emerged from Su Ming's right hand.

"Wood Element!"

Su Yuntao's eyes lit up. At last, someone had awakened a decent Martial Soul! Those with the Wood Element generally possessed Soul Power and could cultivate. Suppressing his excitement, Su Yuntao had Su Ming test his Innate Soul Power.

Hearing Su Yuntao's cry of surprise, Su Ming was delighted as well. Wood Element—based on his experience from his previous life, this Martial Soul could definitely cultivate. The only question was how much Innate Soul Power he had!

Then the Crystal Ball shone with brilliant blue light. Su Yuntao took one look and saw that it was Innate Soul Power Level 7. He was a genius!

He had to recruit him into Spirit Hall.

Su Yuntao said excitedly to Su Ming, "Congratulations. You possess Innate Soul Power Level 7. I now formally invite you to enter Spirit Hall for study. As long as nothing unexpected happens, with your talent, you will at least become a Soul Douluo in the future!"

"Ding! The host has been detected awakening a Martial Soul. The Diary System is here to bind with the host. Does the host wish to bind?"
