What, You Call This a Death Demon Spider?

"So you're saying that after elbowing me into Douluo Continent and compensating me with some so-called Twin Martial Souls, we're even?"

"Little bastard, you really deserve to die!"

"By Douluo Continent's customs, shouldn't I slap a Way of Seeking Death on you?"

Nuoding City, Spirit Hall branch.

Listening to the voice in his head, Lin Nuo felt his blood surge with fury.

One second ago, he had been smug about soaring through a month of perfect attendance. The next, he had arrived in Douluo Continent.

And he had landed right at a martial soul awakening ceremony?!

"Oh, my dear host, since you're already here, try looking at it from another angle. Not just anyone gets to catch this overwhelming fortune."

"Besides, I gave you the talent of Twin Martial Souls!"

"This round, you're guaranteed to take off!"

If the thing in his head had a physical form, Lin Nuo would absolutely have given it an elbow strike carrying the spirit of Mamba.

But clearly, now was not the time to fuss over that. The line for martial soul awakening had already reached him.

On this continent, the awakening ceremony was a matter of utmost importance that could directly determine one's path in life.

The system-like thing in his head claimed it had given him the talent of Twin Martial Souls, but whether that actually amounted to anything depended on whether this body was up to the task.

Otherwise, what did Twin Martial Souls matter?

Without accompanying Soul Power, he could still only be a lowborn commoner scavenging for food in the fields.

After all, he could not exactly expect that great person to pass the Mysterious Heaven Skill down to him, could he?

"Little friend, why did you come here alone?"

"Where are your parents?"

A gentle voice interrupted Lin Nuo's thoughts at just the right moment.

Before him, a handsome young man dressed in a Spirit Hall deacon's uniform waved at him, signaling for him to step into the awakening formation.

"Uncle, I'm an orphan."

"I've never seen my father or mother."

For a real man, starting out as an orphan was basic configuration.

In an instant, the Spirit Hall worker felt that he truly deserved to die for asking such a heartbreaking question.

"Little friend, hello. My name is Su Yuntao. Don't worry, even if you don't have the talent to cultivate, big brother will help you find a suitable place to go."

Su Yuntao gave an awkward smile.

As though that could atone for his earlier question.

Lin Nuo felt awful all over.

Su Yuntao?

Was this the Su Yuntao he knew?

Lone Wolf martial soul, two soul rings—one white, one yellow...

In an instant, Lin Nuo felt certain that he possessed the potential to become a god!

After he entered the center of the awakening formation, Su Yuntao's voice rang out again.

"Child, relax. I'm going to awaken your martial soul now."

With a soft shout, Soul Power slowly flowed into the formation.

As the martial soul awakening ceremony began,

Countless golden rays poured into Lin Nuo's body, making him feel as though he had been completely filled.

But then, a sudden change occurred!

The surrounding temperature abruptly plummeted to freezing.

A terrifying Evil aura surged wildly out of Lin Nuo's body.

Oh no! It's coming out!

Lin Nuo jolted in alarm.

He could clearly feel a violent force in the palm of his left hand trying to burst from his body.

Without the slightest hesitation,

Lin Nuo clenched his left fist, forcefully suppressing the urge to emerge!

Su Yuntao stared at the scene before him, his eyes widening!

Could it be that he was really about to awaken a genius?

At the instant the purple-black phantom fully solidified, Lin Nuo's appearance underwent an earth-shaking transformation as his martial soul completely awakened.

The slightly rugged contours of the young boy's face softened and refined at a visible speed.

His neat black hair quietly transformed into a mysterious, deep violet-pink, cascading down his shoulders.

At a glance, six-year-old Lin Nuo now looked delicate as carved jade, with striking features.

If no one had explained beforehand, anyone would have taken him for a naturally beautiful little girl.

At that very moment, the mysterious ball of light that had been hiding in Lin Nuo's mind suddenly displayed an incredibly humanlike lewd grin on its surface. Then, with a pop, it fled completely.

Lin Nuo froze.

Then,

An indescribable rage shot straight to his head!

Way of Seeking Death!

That damned thing had truly chosen the Way of Seeking Death!

It actually ran off just like that. That thing really deserved to die!

Just then, Su Yuntao excitedly flipped open the Soul Beast Illustrated Handbook in his hands. His finger jabbed hard at one page as he shouted excitedly at Lin Nuo:

"Child! Your martial soul is the Death Demon Spider, one of the continent's finest spider-type martial souls!"

"The higher the quality of a beast martial soul, the greater the Innate Soul Power!"

"Believe me, you are absolutely a peerless genius, one in ten thousand!"

Lin Nuo glanced at the Soul Beast Illustrated Handbook in Su Yuntao's hands, then looked back at the purple-black phantom behind him.

No, you called this a Death Demon Spider?

Even though Lin Nuo was a newcomer who had only just arrived, he could instinctively tell that his martial soul and the huge spider in the handbook were not even the same species, okay?

"Come, child. Let's first test your Innate Soul Power!"

Su Yuntao took a deep breath, calming his excitement before solemnly handing the blue crystal ball used to test Soul Power to Lin Nuo.

Understanding immediately, Lin Nuo raised his hand and placed it against the crystal ball's surface.

The previously tranquil crystal ball suddenly erupted with a dazzling blue radiance.

This light was incredibly domineering. In an instant, it filled the entire awakening room, making it almost impossible to keep one's eyes open.

"Inn... Innate Full Soul Power?!"

Su Yuntao was overjoyed!

This was simply terrifying!

"Child, please make sure to join our Spirit Hall!"

"With your talent, it is only a matter of time before those great figures take notice of you."

"Perhaps one day, you may truly become a lofty and mighty Title Douluo!"

Lin Nuo froze.

He had never expected this body to possess such extraordinary talent.

He immediately decided to withdraw one Way of Seeking Death from that runaway system.

But joining Spirit Hall...

A love-struck Pope and an absurd Angel Young Master—Lin Nuo felt that Spirit Hall's great ship was bound to sink sooner or later.

"Master Su Yuntao, I am deeply grateful to you and Spirit Hall for helping awaken my martial soul."

Upon hearing that, Su Yuntao could not suppress the upward curve of his lips.

He seemed to see a future of promotions and pay raises.

"This boy will never forget today's kindness. I will surely repay it in the future."

As Su Yuntao listened, his smile gradually stiffened on his face.

Something was wrong. Why did it seem like his achievement was about to run away?
