Martial Soul Awakening, Poké Ball!

Lin Fan had always felt that he was quite lucky.

Before he transmigrated, he was the son of a wealthy family, never having suffered a day in his life, living in luxury since he was a child.

Even after transmigrating, he wasn't like the protagonists in other novels who started as orphans with no one to rely on, forced to depend on a system to turn their lives around.

His parents after transmigration were not only wealthy but also quite powerful; even people like the city lord often visited their home.

The only pity was that he had transmigrated into an ancient society, and there were no computers to play with.

But, that was no problem!

In any era, as long as you have money, you can find ways to have fun!

Until today, Lin Fan's sixth birthday...

Just as Lin Fan was full of anticipation, wondering what kind of gifts he would receive today, his parents showed joyful expressions and excitedly picked him up.

"Good child, today, Father will take you to awaken your Martial Soul!"

"Okay."

He smiled and agreed, but it took a long while for Lin Fan to process what had been said.

Wait?

What did his cheapskate father say he was taking him to do?!

Awaken a Martial Soul?!

Good heavens, wasn't this an ancient setting?

How could it be the Douluo world?!

In an instant, Lin Fan panicked.

As a fine, modern youth from the twenty-first century, Lin Fan did not want to engage in fighting and killing.

The world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing; it is about human relationships and worldly wisdom!

Not to mention, the Douluo Continent was a world where the strong preyed on the weak and strength was everything!

If your strength is insufficient, no matter how much wealth you possess, it will eventually be like flowers in a mirror or the moon in the water—you won't be able to keep it, let alone enjoy it.

No, this must be a joke!

Generally speaking, when transmigrating into a fantasy or cultivation world, there should be a system or some other golden finger!

It's been six years, and without a golden finger, this shouldn't be real!

Lin Fan forced himself to stay calm, but as the emblem of the Martial Soul Hall came into view, and a crowd of children gathered in the great hall with several robed figures approaching, he completely gave up the struggle.

This really was the Douluo Continent!

He resigned himself to his fate.

Life is like being raped; if you cannot resist, you might as well close your eyes and enjoy it.

The only thing he could look forward to was awakening a decent Martial Soul or activating a system panel!

"Master Lin has arrived."

"Congratulations, congratulations! Young Master Lin is finally six years old. Today, he will surely awaken a remarkable Martial Soul."

"Master Lin and Madam Lin both possess one-in-a-hundred Martial Souls. Like father, like son; Young Master Lin will certainly be extraordinary."

It had to be said that Lin Qingfeng held a high status. As soon as he arrived carrying Lin Fan, over a dozen people, including staff from the Martial Soul Hall, came up to greet them with smiling faces and flattering words.

Previously, Lin Fan had only assumed his cheapskate father was good at making money, but now it seemed his soul power cultivation was likely not low either.

"Ahem!"

As he was pondering, the crowd parted, and an old man in his fifties walked over, smiling kindly: "Master Lin, today I shall be the one to conduct the Martial Soul awakening for Young Master Lin. I wonder what you think of that?"

"It is my son's honor that Hall Master Xu is willing to awaken his Martial Soul. How could I refuse?"

Lin Qingfeng laughed: "Then I will trouble you, Hall Master Xu."

Hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He hadn't expected this guy to be the Hall Master!

As a modern youth, Lin Fan had also read novels and was quite familiar with the Douluo world.

During the era of the Martial Soul Hall, anyone who could become a Hall Master, even of a branch hall, had at least the cultivation of a Soul Elder.

If it were a more important branch, their realm would be even higher.

"Good."

The old man smiled as he took Lin Fan from Lin Qingfeng's arms, set him on the ground, and then put on a kind expression, saying: "Child, come, hold out your hand."

Since it was confirmed to be the Douluo world, Lin Fan stopped resisting. On the contrary, he was full of anticipation. He wondered what kind of Martial Soul he, a transmigrator, would awaken?

Taking a deep breath, Lin Fan reached out his hand.

Seeing this, the old man smiled slightly and spoke softly, causing countless strands of soul power to converge.

Hum--

In an instant, a brilliant, silvery-white radiance flashed from Lin Fan's hand.

Ordinary soul masters naturally require tools to awaken a martial soul for others.

However, at that old man's level, he only needed to mobilize his soul power to assist in the awakening.

Hum—

Hum—

Light and shadow flickered, and soon, the soul power condensed into a spherical orb, floating above Lin Fan's palm.

The top half shone with a red light, while the bottom half radiated a silver glow.

"Hm?!"

His pupils contracted sharply, and the corners of Lin Fan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

That... isn't that a Poké Ball?

What the hell?

He had actually awakened a Poké Ball from Pokémon as his martial soul?

Could this be his golden finger?

Then... could he catch Pokémon to fight for him?

Or perhaps catch different soul beasts to battle?

Thinking of this, Lin Fan's eyes lit up, and he became intrigued instead.

Other people's martial souls were fixed once awakened!

At best, they could gain some variety through absorbing soul rings.

If he could catch different soul beasts to fight, wouldn't that be equivalent to having a martial soul that could change into anything?

Invincible!

Aside from invincible, Lin Fan couldn't think of any other adjective.

"Eh?"

"What is this?"

"It looks like a tool-type martial soul, but have you ever seen a martial soul like this?"

As a young master of the Lin Clan, Lin Fan's awakening naturally attracted much attention, and exclamations erupted all around.

"This..."

Even the old hall master who performed the awakening for Lin Fan was stunned; in all his years, this was the first time he had seen such a martial soul.

"It's not a sword martial soul, nor is it that damn Azure Deer martial soul!"

"Did it mutate?"

Lin Qingfeng frowned, feeling slightly disappointed in his heart.

Generally speaking, martial soul awakening is related to parental inheritance, and only in very rare cases does it mutate.

And mutation represents instability!

Lin Qingfeng didn't ask for Lin Fan to be incredibly powerful; he only hoped he would awaken a decent martial soul so he could have the ability to secure a living in this world.

After all, they would eventually grow old and would be unable to protect Lin Fan for too long.

Lin Fan was unaware of the thoughts and feelings of the others. After his brief excitement, he was surprised to discover that the Poké Ball martial soul was flickering like a star.

With a slight shift of his mind, a strange panel appeared before him.

Host: Lin Fan

"!!!"

"The golden finger... it's finally here!"
