Tricking Bibi Dong from the Start

[Awakening Hall in Martial Soul City, how nostalgic!]

A childish voice rang in Bibi Dong's ears. Despite the youthful tone, the cadence was remarkably aged and weary. Bibi Dong found it somewhat amusing but paid it little mind, assuming some child was simply babbling nonsense.

However, the next instant, Bibi Dong's indifferent expression stiffened.

[I never expected to be reborn on the very day of my martial soul awakening. After finally achieving godhood, I still lost a three-on-one fight against that Little Scoundrel, even with the Rakshasa God and the Angel God on my side. That damn Sea God and Asura God were blatantly cheating for him! He could even resurrect after death; how is anyone supposed to play this game...]

The childish voice rambled on, echoing incessantly in Bibi Dong's ears, revealing matters of earth-shattering significance.

The child's words involved gods, the Rakshasa God she herself inherited, and most importantly, the fact that she—a god—had ultimately failed, and in a three-on-one scenario at that.

Bibi Dong could no longer maintain her composure. The vast spiritual power of a level 98 Titled Douluo instantly blanketed the entire Awakening Hall, attempting to locate the child speaking, yet she found nothing.

The children waiting in line were indeed whispering to one another, but none of their words matched the voice she was hearing.

Bibi Dong frowned, a flicker of doubt flashing through her eyes.

Just then, she heard a piece of critical information: [Returning through rebirth, if nothing goes wrong, my awakened martial soul should be the Asura Armor, a benign mutation of my father's Mystic Silver Armor, with Innate Full Soul Power. However, because the Asura Armor cannot be activated without a first soul ring, the deacon will mistake it for a glowing iron box and classify it as a trash martial soul.

In my past life, I used my parents' pension to beg my father's colleague to take me to hunt my first soul ring, which allowed me to activate it. I then logically enrolled in the Martial Soul Academy, became a core descendant cultivated by Martial Soul Hall, and eventually had to face off against that Little Scoundrel.

That Little Scoundrel inherited the dual god positions of the Sea God and the Asura God—especially the Asura God, who is a God King! A God King who blatantly favors that Little Scoundrel. If I do this all over again, I don't think I can win. I'd be better off using this chance of awakening a 'trash' martial soul to slip out of Martial Soul Hall.]

After hearing the childish voice, a look of contemplation appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes. She decided to wait and see if any child would awaken the martial soul mentioned.

If it truly appeared, the matter was likely real, for throughout the Douluo Continent, no child could know their martial soul had undergone a benign mutation before awakening, let alone their innate soul power level.

Among the crowd of children waiting in line, a fair-skinned, handsome boy stood with his head bowed, his eyes holding a maturity that defied his age.

This child was named Qin Heng, and in this life, he was six years old. In his previous life, just after graduating from university and looking for work, Qin Heng had made intimate contact with a dump truck while saving a child in the middle of the road, only to wake up in the Douluo world.

As everyone knows, transmigrators have golden fingers, and Qin Heng was no exception; his golden finger was a cultivation system.

However, to Qin Heng's surprise, once the system confirmed this was the world of the Douluo Continent, it immediately bailed, claiming the world's power system was too low to require its assistance.

Before leaving, it gave Qin Heng three lottery chances, which he cursed as he used.

The first was the ability to project his inner voice, allowing him to transmit his thoughts to a specific person. There was no limit to the number of people, but there was a distance limit of 500 meters.

The second was a Martial Soul Evolution Card, capable of evolving his martial soul into a god-tier martial soul of the same type, while erasing all side effects and debuffs.

The third was a cultivation manual called the Wudang Treasure Record, containing four Wudang supreme arts: Pure Yang Infinite Skill, Cloud Ladder Step, Taiji Fist Sutra, and Taiji Sword Technique.

After the three draws, the system vanished. Qin Heng immediately used the evolution card to evolve the Mystic Silver Armor inherited from his father into the ultimate Asura Armor from Armor Hero Xing Tian, with an innate soul power of level 20.

The reason he had intentionally leaked his thoughts to Bibi Dong, lying about having Innate Full Soul Power, was to set the stage for his next move and solidify his backstory of having been a god in his past life.

The children waiting for their awakening went up one by one. Most awakened mid-to-high-tier martial souls with innate soul power of at least level three. This was normal, as this was Martial Soul City, the holy land for soul masters; most children here were descendants of soul masters, so their innate soul power was bound to be decent.

Soon, it was Qin Heng's turn.

Qin Heng stood in the hexagram array. The cardinal in charge of the awakening possessed a wolf martial soul. He extended a claw toward Qin Heng, releasing soul power while saying, "Feel the changes within your body carefully!"

Qin Heng felt as if he were soaking in hot water; his entire body felt warm, and a heat flow emerged within him, circulating through his limbs before gathering in his right hand.

"Extend your right hand," the cardinal commanded.

Qin Heng obeyed, raising his right hand. An "iron box" appeared in his palm, primarily silver-gray with purple and gold patterns and a red core crystal, featuring the Asura emblem on the flip cover.

Bibi Dong, who had been watching the ceremony closely, locked her gaze onto Qin Heng. The next instant, Qin Heng's voice echoed in her ears:

[It really is the Asura Armor, but my innate soul power seems a bit off. It's not level 10—it's level 20! Could it be that my past life as a god affected my martial soul, causing my Asura Armor to leap from a super martial soul to a god-tier one?]

Bibi Dong's heart jolted. She was certain she hadn't seen the boy speak, so where did the voice come from? Could it be his inner thoughts? How could she hear what he was thinking?

[They're about to test my soul power. I need to suppress it. I'm not getting involved with Martial Soul Hall this time; I don't want to blow myself up with Bibi Dong again!]

Blowing myself up with her? Could that be why I can hear his inner thoughts? Once Bibi Dong confirmed that she was indeed hearing Qin Heng's thoughts, she already believed seven or eight parts of what he had said.

If nothing else, the level 20 innate soul power was the best proof. If this child hadn't been a god in his past life, how could he possess level 20 innate soul power?

In the Douluo Continent, level 10 was the peak, known as Innate Full Soul Power. The only way to break this law was through god-bestowed soul power.

As long as she could confirm the boy truly had level 20 soul power, the story of him being a reborn god was almost certainly true.
