"Hiss—that hurts!"

Lin Huai rubbed his head, only to feel a strange memory appear in his mind.

Lin Huai then realized that he was a transmigator.

Before he died in his previous life.

He was about to ask out a curvaceous senior classmate, to go play in the snow on the mountain and experience the depth of the canyon together.

Unexpectedly, he was sent away by a truck.

It's just that he had only lived in Douluo for six years, and only now did he awaken his memories from his past life.

"Damn, a king is a king indeed. Not only did he transmigrate painlessly, but he also gave me six years of warm-up for free."

"It's just a pity for my sexy senior classmate. I wonder which lucky guy will get her."

Lin Huai's face looked sad.

He looked at the magnificent palace where people were queuing to enter.

"Fortunately, I'm alive to awaken my martial soul. With the memories from my previous life, as long as it's not a disastrous start, I might be able to experience more mountains and canyons in this life!"

He followed the crowd into the Holy Temple.

The person in charge of the martial soul awakening ceremony was a stern-faced cardinal.

He looked at the little boy at the front of the line.

"Let's go in order."

The little boy clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and walked to the center of the formation.

The cardinal let out a low shout, "Demon Cat Possession."

The cardinal's figure changed, and immediately, two yellow, two purple, and three black soul rings appeared.

Clearly, this cardinal was a Soul Saint expert.

"Beast martial soul, Dazed Duck, Innate Soul Power level three. Go register to the side."

"Tool martial soul, Hoe, Innate Soul Power zero."

As time passed, it was finally Lin Huai's turn, his heart filled with excitement.

He walked into the awakening formation with anticipation.

I wonder what martial soul I will awaken.

In this life, I am also an orphan, raised with charity in Holy Tree Village.

As the cardinal's soul power was input, Lin Huai only felt warmth filling his body.

In Lin Huai's excited gaze, a tall figure appeared beside him.

She had crimson hair that reached her waist, and wore a gorgeously designed helmet with wing-like decorations on both sides.

Her right arm, left leg, and the lower half of her right leg were all prosthetic limbs made of metal that looked like gold.

Her right arm armor was also connected to a slender, handleless long saber with intricate patterns carved on it.

Many parts of her exposed skin had burn-like scars, as if from flames.

"It's a humanoid martial soul, truly rare. Quickly put away your martial soul and let's test your soul power first!"

The cardinal quickly handed over the crystal ball.

Unlike the cardinal's excitement, Lin Huai's heart began to pound.

That figure was the popular boss from the previous life's game, Elden Ring—the Valkyrie Malenia.

It wasn't that she wasn't strong; quite the opposite, Malenia as a martial soul would definitely not be inferior to divine martial souls like the Six-Winged Angel.

But Malenia in the game possessed a terrifying curse that even gods couldn't handle—

Scarlet Rot!

Lin Huai's chest heaved faster, and he tried several times before managing to put away his martial soul.

After placing his trembling hand on the crystal ball, it immediately emitted a dazzling light.

The cardinal strode closer, observing the crystal ball carefully.

"Innate Full Soul Power! After six years, following Miss Hu Liena and the other two, a child with powerful talent has finally appeared again!"

Damn it! A disastrous start.

Lin Huai stared intently at the burn-like mark that appeared on his right hand, his heart beating faster and faster. His vision suddenly went black, and he fell straight down.

"A strange ceiling, what is this..." Lin Huai slowly opened his eyes.

"This is the treatment room. You fainted after awakening your martial soul." Lin Huai sat up.

He looked toward the middle-aged man standing to the side, who possessed golden hair, golden eyes, and a handsome countenance.

"I am the Grand Elder of the Martial Soul Hall. During my examination, I discovered a strange power within your body. It is precisely this power that caused you to faint, and the wounds that suddenly appeared on your hand are likely caused by it as well," Qian Daoliu continued.

"I don't know what that is either. It appeared after I awakened my Martial Soul, and my Martial Soul also bears many wounds similar to the ones on my hand."

Lin Huai lowered his head to stare at his right hand, which was gripping the bedsheets, before carefully looking up at Qian Daoliu.

"Grand Elder, do you know how to deal with this power?"

"Summon your Martial Soul. Let me observe it."

Lin Huai circulated his soul power, and the Malenia Martial Soul appeared once again.

Qian Daoliu frowned, "Your Martial Soul is very strong, especially the hiltless long blade in her right hand. Just looking at it makes one feel its sharp edge; it is quite extraordinary. Moreover, I am unable to perceive the specific details of this Martial Soul."

"However, it can be concluded that the strange power within you stems from the Martial Soul itself. Its manifestation on your Martial Soul is extremely ferocious."

Qian Daoliu looked at the prosthetic limbs and the already eroded face of the Malenia Martial Soul, letting out a sigh: "If nothing goes wrong, you may only have ten years of life left. And that is assuming you do not absorb any soul rings or cultivate your soul power."

Lin Huai pursed his lips, looking at the traces of rot eroding Malenia's face.

He naturally knew the horror of the Scarlet Rot; it was an existence that even gods were helpless against.

But thinking that he would only live to be a teenager in this life, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Qian Daoliu looked at the pitiful boy and handed over a palm-sized golden token.

"You may stay within the Martial Soul Hall. I will have someone make arrangements for you. You should go to the library often to read; perhaps by combining some existing theories, you can find a glimmer of hope."

With that, Qian Daoliu's figure vanished from the treatment room.

Lin Huai lay back on the bed, pressing his arm against his forehead.

"This is total bullshit!"

The law of causality of 'planting a flag' is actually this strong; what a disastrous start!

Lin Huai turned his head to look at the Malenia Martial Soul still standing by the bedside.

He looked at the parts of her face not yet eroded by the Scarlet Rot, and then noticed the prosthetic limbs and the eye already consumed by the rot.

"No, I must survive!"

Lin Huai sat up abruptly, clutching the token in his hand.

Recalling his Martial Soul, Lin Huai walked firmly toward the library.

After Lin Huai showed the token to the person in charge of the library.

Lin Huai obtained a place to stay and the right to browse all books at will.

Lin Huai began his two-point-one-line journey of survival.

The first month, there were no gains.

The third month, there were no gains.

Half a year later, Lin Huai had roughly read through all existing Martial Soul theories, yet still had no gains.

Thus, he began to flip through niche books such as strange tales and biographies.

During this half-year, Lin Huai discovered that his memory was incredibly powerful; he could basically remember everything he read.

Lin Huai had tried to cultivate, but every time he did, the power of rot would become abnormally active, so his cultivation ended up amounting to nothing.

While contemplating his Martial Soul during this half-year, besides discovering that Malenia would be very beautiful if not eroded by rot, and that the parts not eroded were quite soft and tender, he also discovered an innate domain—the Scarlet Rot Domain.

The domain was quite strong; the Soft Bone Rabbit used for experiments lost its life instantly when it was activated. It also allowed the prosthetic blade Lin Huai manifested to carry the Scarlet Rot during attacks.

However, when the domain was activated, the power of rot was like a hyperactive husky or a wild horse off its leash.

"Nothing, nothing! Am I really just going to wait for death like this?" With bloodshot eyes, Lin Huai placed the Douluo Travelogue in his hand onto the table.

Lin Huai leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, beginning to organize the information he had in his mind.

Should he gamble on the Ice and Fire Golden Body Refinement?

Forget it. Not to mention that the effect of the immortal herbs is mainly to improve talent and soul power, this Scarlet Rot of his isn't exactly poison.

Besides, unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to face that moody Poison Douluo.

Godly trials?

Regardless of which one it was, he couldn't obtain it right now.

Living two lives, and I haven't even experienced the snowy peaks and the deep canyons yet. I am not reconciled to this!

Lin Huai slowly sat up straight, looking at the erosion symptoms that had already spread to his forearm, his eyes filled with determination: "Damn it, I'll risk it! As a transmigrator, how could I die so cowardly!"

Lin Huai left his seat and walked toward the Worship Hall.
