Warning, Eighty Thousand Year Blue Silver King Detected!
Fasinuo Province.
Craftsman Soul Village.
At the village's Back Mountain, a very handsome little boy with sharp brows and bright eyes was constantly swinging the Wooden Sword in his hand, his gaze extremely determined.
"Xiao Tian, why are you still here practicing swordplay? The Lord Soul Master in charge of helping with the awakening has already arrived. If you miss it, you'll have to pay someone yourself to awaken you!"
Just then, an anxious voice came from the side.
"Grandpa Village Chief, it's that soon? Then let's go now."
Xiao Tian put away the wooden longsword, went to the village chief's side, and supported him with one hand.
"You brat, why are you so unconcerned about your Martial Soul awakening?"
The village chief said in exasperation, as if frustrated that iron would not turn into steel.
Xiao Tian said indifferently, "Grandpa Village Chief, there's no use in me being anxious. Awakening a Martial Soul depends on bloodline. I'm just an orphan nobody wanted. It doesn't matter what my Martial Soul is. The sword in my hand is enough!"
As he spoke, a glint flashed through Xiao Tian's eyes. "Right, Grandpa Village Chief, didn't you say before that once my Martial Soul awakens, you'd give me a longsword? I don't want to keep using a Wooden Sword. It always feels like something's missing."
The village chief smiled helplessly. "Fine, fine, fine. Once your Martial Soul awakens, I'll give it to you. I prepared it for you long ago."
He also did not know why Xiao Tian had been so fond of longswords ever since he was young. He only hoped the boy could awaken a decent Martial Soul.
Most of the villagers in their Craftsman Soul Village awakened Martial Souls related to forging. He had no idea what Xiao Tian would awaken.
Why did Xiao Tian take this awakening ceremony so lightly?
That was, of course, because he was a transmigrator. No, he should be called a reincarnator. Ever since he could remember, he had awakened the memories of his previous life.
In his previous life, aside from liking all kinds of web novels, he liked practicing the sword and collecting all kinds of famous swords. It could be said that he had a special fondness for the path of the sword.
Unfortunately, his previous life had been in the so-called Age of Dharma Decline. When he learned that he had been reborn into the world of Douluo Continent, he did not know whether he should be happy or worried.
He was happy because this was a world where one could cultivate. He was worried because this was a world that depended on bloodline!
Martial Souls were inherited according to bloodline!
If ordinary people wanted to possess higher Innate Soul Power, their only option was mutation!
This could not help but leave Xiao Tian somewhat disappointed. However, he suddenly recalled the few geniuses in Douluo Continent who had gone against the current, and the one who left the deepest impression on him was Ji Juechen!
Ji Juechen's Innate Soul Power had only been rank three, yet by relying on his comprehension of Sword Dao, he had forcibly cultivated all the way to Titled Douluo. Why couldn't he, Xiao Tian, give it a try?!
So from the time he could remember, he had pestered Grandpa Village Chief into making him a Wooden Sword. Every day, aside from practicing the sword, he practiced the sword. Even when eating and sleeping, he never let it leave his side!
Because of that, he did not care very much about what his Martial Soul was, or even whether he had a system.
After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!
Very soon, under the village chief's lead, Xiao Tian arrived in front of a house the village had specially built for awakening Martial Souls.
"Lord Soul Master, everyone is here. We'll have to trouble you." The village chief smiled at this Lord Soul Master.
Xiao Tian took a look. Oh, wasn't this a coincidence? It was Su Yuntao, the Blind Douluo from the original work!
Su Yuntao said with some impatience, "All right, there's no need for useless talk. After I finish helping you awaken your Martial Souls, I still have to hurry to the next village."
"All right, children, all of you follow the Lord Soul Master inside to awaken your Martial Souls. I hope you can awaken decent Martial Souls." The village chief did not dare delay and quickly spoke to the children who needed to awaken their Martial Souls.
Inside the room.
"Children, no matter what happens in a moment, don't be afraid. My name is Su Yuntao, a rank twenty-six Soul Grandmaster, and I am your guide."
Su Yuntao tried his best to appear relatively gentle, and took six pitch-black round stones as well as a crystal ball out of his bundle.
Afterward, Su Yuntao arranged the six black stones into a hexagon and signaled for the first child to stand inside.
"Sickle Martial Soul, no soul power."
"Hammer Martial Soul, Innate rank one soul power."
"Nail Martial Soul, no soul power."
"..."
As the awakening ceremony proceeded, it was finally Xiao Tian's turn at the end.
At Su Yuntao's signal, Xiao Tian took a deep breath and stood within the Hexagram Array.
Although he had acted extremely calm before, now that this moment had arrived, he was still inevitably a little nervous.
Although he had already thought of a fallback path for himself, who would not hope that their Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power could be a little better? That way, his later cultivation would at least be a little easier.
Afterward, under Su Yuntao's guidance, a rusty Iron Sword immediately appeared in Xiao Tian's right hand. As if sensing something in his heart, Xiao Tian subconsciously said, "Sword Fifteen?"
Su Yuntao looked at the Iron Sword in Xiao Tian's hand and frowned. "This Rusty Sword is called Fifteen? That really is a strange name. Since it's a Sword Martial Soul, there's still a very high chance it has soul power. Let's test your soul power first."
When he said that last sentence, Su Yuntao's tone carried a trace of excitement.
During this period of time, he had already helped several villages awaken their Martial Souls, but without exception, not a single person had possessed soul power.
However, due to bloodline, the probability of commoners possessing soul power was relatively low, so he could understand it. Still, he was somewhat disappointed.
But Craftsman Soul Village was different. Every year, when he came to help awaken soul power, at least one person would possess soul power. That was already quite decent.
Xiao Tian looked at the rusty sword in his hand. Was this the Sword Fifteen he remembered?
If it was, then even if his Innate Soul Power was a little low, it might not be impossible for him to defy fate and change his destiny!
Moreover, Xiao Tian could clearly sense that Sword Fifteen possessed spirituality. Say what you would, but it truly deserved to be called the Sword Spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword.
He had never expected to awaken such a special Tool Martial Soul. No—Xiao Tian felt this could be considered an Intelligent Martial Soul, couldn't it?
Just like the Intelligent Soul Ring invented by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm ten thousand years later!
After all, among the Sword Martial Souls he knew, even Sword Dao Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword could not possibly possess spirituality like Sword Fifteen did.
If this really was that Sword Fifteen, then the most fundamental difference between it and other Tool Martial Souls was that Sword Fifteen could move on its own without him deliberately controlling it, while other Tool Martial Souls could not!
Of course, as for that point, he would have to test it after the awakening ceremony ended.
With that thought, Xiao Tian also placed his hand on the crystal ball.
"Innate Soul Power, rank five!"
That did surprise Su Yuntao a little. He hadn't expected that an unremarkable Iron Sword would actually give Xiao Tian rank-five soul power. Back when he had awakened Lone Wolf, he had only had rank-two soul power!
As for this result, Xiao Tian was already very satisfied. Rank-five Innate Soul Power could not be considered poor, and it also happened to be a Sword Martial Soul. He could try cultivating it properly and see if he could cultivate Sword Intent like Ji Juechen.
Ding. Congratulations, host, on awakening your martial soul. The system has come to bind with you. Ding. Warning: there is an eighty-thousand-year-old Blue Silver King nearby. Host, please evacuate immediately, or your life will be in danger!
Xiao Tian: ???
Holy shit, was that for real? Xiao Tian instantly became alert, while doubt rose in his heart. Wasn't the Blue Silver King usually guarding the area around the Blue Silver Ancestral Land? Why would it appear in their little village?
"System, is there any way to deal with this?"
Ding. No. However, host, there is no need to worry. The Blue Silver King is generally gentle by nature and will not attack on its own. Of course, if your luck is bad, then I will have no choice but to switch to another host.
Xiao Tian immediately felt that this system was seriously unreliable. Still, he also felt that there was something wrong with what the system had said. No matter how he looked at it, there was no way their village could have a Blue Silver King. Blue Silver Grass, on the other hand, they had plenty.
