Transmigrated to Douluo! Hiding My Strength, Enduring, Firmly Suppressing Tang San!

My head felt heavy, as if I had stayed up for three straight nights binge-watching the entire Douluo Continent series only to be knocked unconscious by a club. I jerked upright, staring at the mud walls and the old wooden table before me, frozen in place.

"What's going on? Didn't I just finish cursing Tang San for his double standards and Yu Xiaogang for being a fraud while tucked in bed? How did I end up in this dilapidated shack?"

Rubbing my temples, a flood of unfamiliar memories surged into my brain—Douluo Continent, Holy Soul Village, six years old, and today was the day of the Martial Soul awakening!

I sobered up instantly, my heart hammering against my ribs. It wasn't fear, but excitement! Yet, I forced myself to suppress the emotion immediately; I couldn't let my head get hot.

[Memories suddenly intrude and interrupt]

In my past life, I had watched Douluo several times. That brat Tang San appeared harmless on the surface, but he was actually the pinnacle of black-bellied hypocrisy—he took all the benefits, shifted all the blame, and constantly preached about justice. Yu Xiaogang was even more ridiculous; his Martial Soul had mutated into the trashy Luo San Pao, possessing zero combat capability and relying entirely on smooth-talking to fool people. Only Tang San treated him like a father, but anyone with a brain could see that his theories were nothing but armchair strategy! Watching them act arrogant throughout the series nearly made me smash my phone; I wanted to jump inside and crush their pride to pieces!

[Memories abruptly cease, forcibly pulled back to reality]

Fine. Since the heavens have sent me here, I must vent this frustration! But I'm not stupid. Douluo Continent is a place where the strong prey on the weak. My Twin Martial Souls are an ultimate trump card that must never be exposed. Acting flashy at the start and revealing my hand is just asking for death. I must hide it until the end! The more ordinary I appear on the outside, the better. I will lay my plans in the shadows, moving steadily to destroy those two!

"Lin Chen! Hurry up! The Martial Soul awakening is about to start, don't dawdle!" Village Chief Jack's booming voice echoed from outside. I responded, brushed the dust off my clothes, and walked out slowly. My face remained calm, but my mind was crystal clear.

At the open space at the village entrance, Su Yuntao had already set up the awakening array. He flicked his black robe and chanted pretentiously, "Lone Wolf possess, Martial Soul awaken!"

A group of brats stood in line, chattering away. I scanned the crowd and didn't see a trace of Tang San. I understood immediately—that kid was definitely hiding at home, secretly pondering his own Twin Martial Souls. After all, he was a transmigrator, craftier than anyone.

When it was my turn, I took a deep breath and locked the aura of the Heavy Profound Iron Sword deep within my heart, not letting a shred leak out. I only allowed the faint fluctuation of the Ink Shadow Spirit Cat to manifest. I stepped into the array, keeping my presence restrained to the absolute limit.

Su Yuntao followed the procedure to release his soul power, and a pale golden light enveloped me. A moment later, only a palm-sized, ink-colored cat phantom slowly emerged. Its fur was glossy, its eyes were reserved, and it was wrapped in a nearly invisible aura of shadow. It looked like a completely ordinary shadow-type cat Martial Soul, utterly unremarkable—the kind you wouldn't look at twice in a pile of other souls.

Su Yuntao glanced at it, curled his lip, and didn't give it a second thought. "Beast Martial Soul, Ink Shadow Cat. Nothing special. Let's test your soul power just to fill the quota."

I remained composed, gently placing my hand on the crystal ball. The next second, the ball erupted with a brilliant, dazzling light—Soul Power Level 10, Innate Full Soul Power!

"Good heavens! Innate Full Soul Power?!" Su Yuntao's eyes nearly popped out of his head. He leaned in close to the crystal ball, checking it repeatedly, his face full of disbelief. "This unremarkable, trashy Martial Soul is actually Innate Full Soul Power?!"

I maintained a calm expression, as if it were a trivial matter, but I was overjoyed on the inside. At the same time, a system notification rang silently in my mind:

[Ding! Eternal Suppression System successfully bound!]

[Core Rule: The host's soul power level will be permanently 10 levels higher than Tang San's. Every time Tang San levels up, the host will automatically synchronize, matching the optimal soul rings and soul skills. No deliberate cultivation is required. The host can freely suppress soul power fluctuations and hide Martial Soul auras to completely conceal trump cards!]

Perfect! With this system, plus my deliberate concealment, no one would ever know the secret of my Twin Martial Souls in this lifetime! Tang San had Innate Level 10, so I was automatically at Level 20. Yet, I suppressed my aura to look like Level 10. To the outside world, I was just an ordinary Ink Shadow Cat soul master with Innate Full Soul Power. Playing the pig to eat the tiger—maxed out!

Before long, Tang San walked over in his coarse cloth clothes, looking honest and dutiful, though a hint of self-satisfaction was hidden in his eyes.

When it was his turn to awaken, the Blue Silver Grass slowly appeared, and his soul power test also showed Innate Full Soul Power. Tang San appeared calm on the surface, but he was already floating on the inside, believing his talent was peerless and that he was destined for greatness.

I didn't look at him once, nor did I go up to mock him. I just stood quietly in the corner, disguising myself as an introverted, ordinary genius, while feeling disdain in my heart: Is that it? A trash Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass, and you'll always be 10 levels behind me. Keep acting arrogant for now; I'll deal with you slowly later. Every second of contact is another risk of exposure!

Tang San noticed that I also had Innate Full Soul Power and turned to look at me, his eyes filled with a hint of inquiry. I lowered my head immediately, feigning shyness, and completely avoided his gaze to minimize interaction.

The awakening ceremony ended quickly. Old Jack was so excited he grabbed my hand and Tang San's, spitting as he spoke, "Good! Good! Holy Soul Village has produced two geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power at once! I'll go apply for your work-study student spots right away so you can go to Nuoding Academy for further study!"

I knew clearly that Nuoding Academy was the key—it was where Tang San and Yu Xiaogang would meet, where I would meet Xiao Wu, and the first stop in my grand plan. I acted grateful, saying "Thank you, Grandpa Jack," while calculating how to keep a low profile and never reveal any of my trump cards.

After packing a few clothes at home, I declined Old Jack's offer to see me off and set out for Nuoding Academy alone. I remained low-key the entire way, not speaking to anyone for fear of leaking a shred of my Martial Soul secret.

After a quiet journey, I arrived at the gates of Nuoding Academy and happened to see a middle-aged man in a gray robe with a small mustache arguing with the guard, holding an ugly dog-like Martial Soul in his arms. Who else could it be but Yu Xiaogang?

Yu Xiaogang noticed me too. Sensing my Innate Full Soul Power, he immediately put on the airs of a master theorist, acting profound. "Little friend, I see you have Innate Full Soul Power but no one to guide your cultivation. I am Yu Xiaogang, who claims to have invincible theories. Take me as your teacher, and I will ensure you achieve success."

Here we go, this guy is starting his con!

I sneered internally, but my face remained indifferent. I replied in a flat, non-committal tone, refusing him without getting entangled. "Thanks for the offer, but I can cultivate on my own. No need to trouble yourself. Let's just go our separate ways."

I didn't provoke him, didn't expose him, and didn't draw attention to myself. I simply refused to avoid inviting trouble or exposing myself.

Just then, Tang San arrived, trotting over to Yu Xiaogang's side and bowing respectfully. "Teacher!" He glanced at me, his eyes carrying a hint of inexplicable hostility.

I ignored the pair entirely. Secretly using my Level 20 soul power to suppress the guard, I walked into the academy without a sound. I didn't show a shred of my strength, nor did I leak the secret of my Twin Martial Souls, keeping my profile low to the extreme.

I knew clearly: my Twin Martial Souls were my life-saving trump card and must never be mentioned. I had to hide my strength, sheath my edge, stay low, seize opportunities, build connections, and slowly block the paths of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang. Once my strength was sufficient, I would settle the score bit by bit! As for Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others, I would approach them slowly after entering the academy. I would never be impatient for success!
