After shouting, she sat obediently on the sofa, licking the lollipop Lin Tian had given her like a little kitten, curiously surveying this small, humble, yet clean cabin that felt full of life.

Lin Tian didn't say a word, rushing straight into the kitchen to pull out everything edible from the refrigerator: dozens of packs of the cheapest instant noodles, and the fish, shrimp, and crabs he had caught the day before—fortunately, only a day had passed, and they were all still alive.

Proud Arrival City was by the sea, so he basically never lacked meat; he could just go out to sea to catch fish and shrimp. As long as he had the strength, he could survive, so he didn't need to worry about food, and he had even saved up quite a bit of money over the years.

Lin Tian nimbly set up the pot, poured in water, and after boiling the fish and shrimp, he added the noodle cakes to cook them all together, filling a large pot to the brim.

Before long, a rich aroma of seafood wafted through the air.

By now, Lin Tian was so hungry he felt like his stomach was stuck to his spine, but he still took out a bowl first, filled it to the brim with the best fish and shrimp, and carried it over to Na'er, asking, "Do you want to eat this?"

Na'er looked up, light swirling in her purple eyes as she stared at the steaming bowl of noodles in front of her, her little nose sniffing gently: "It smells so good, can I eat it?"

"Of course you can, it's all for you. Even though your Brother Lin Tian is poor, I definitely won't let you go hungry."

Upon hearing Lin Tian's words, a look of being moved immediately appeared on Na'er's face: "Brother Lin Tian, you are so good to me..."

"Ah, this..."

Lin Tian finally understood why people said children were easy to fool; a single lollipop, A bowl of instant noodles was enough to leave a child completely spellbound.

He immediately handed the bowl to Na'er: "You go ahead and eat slowly. I'm too hungry, so I won't wait for you. If that's not enough, there's more."

With that, Lin Tian pulled out a large basin and began to wolf down his food, eating at lightning speed—mouthful after mouthful, basin after basin!

It was as if he hadn't eaten in days.

In just a short quarter of an hour, a full pot of instant noodles had been wiped clean, down to the very last drop of broth.

Seeing the remaining noodle cakes—his rations for the entire coming month—he decided to hell with it!

Lin Tian dumped them all into the pot, boiled them, and began to devour them just as ravenously.

Two full pots of noodles had gone straight into his stomach, yet even after finishing, he felt no sense of satiety; his belly remained empty, feeling even hungrier than before.

Lin Tian furrowed his brows and patted his stomach with a troubled expression: "I've already eaten so much. By all logic, my stomach should have burst by now, but instead..."

He subconsciously raised his right hand and clenched his fist tightly: "What exactly is this Blood Martial Soul? Why does it keep devouring my energy?"

He had studied medicine in his past life; the body replenishes energy due to cellular consumption.

His extreme lack of energy must be because the arm-based Martial Soul was consuming an excessive number of cells.

Ever since this Blood Martial Soul awakened, had his body's cellular metabolism become this rapid?

Fast metabolism was a good thing; he could feel his body brimming with strength, but failing to keep up with the nutritional requirements was a massive disaster.

It seemed that this Blood Martial Soul of his, let alone cultivating it, would require a great deal of effort just to maintain.

The future is a long and arduous road.

Lin Tian sighed with emotion.

Just then, a rhythmic knocking sounded at the door, shattering the quiet of the small house.

"The door isn't locked, come in."

Lin Tian called out casually.

He had nothing of value in his home, nor did he have many visitors, so he had no reason to worry about his safety.

As soon as he spoke, the door was gently pushed open, and a figure dressed in a dark blue uniform stepped inside.

It was a middle-aged man, slightly plump, wearing a professional smile, with a badge engraved with the words "Spirit Pagoda" on his chest.

His gaze swept over the simple furnishings of the room before finally landing on Lin Tian, his eyes lighting up instantly.

"You must be Lin Tian, right?"

The middle-aged man stepped forward quickly, his tone quite enthusiastic. "I am a Spirit Master from the East Sea Spirit Pagoda Proud Arrival City Branch. My name is Zhang Hu."

Zhang Hu?

The middle-aged man's physique didn't quite match his name.

However, Lin Tian didn't pay much attention to that; when he heard the words "Spirit Pagoda," his eyes lit up immediately.

He had anticipated that many factions would come looking for him, after all, he was a genius with Twin Martial Souls, and he had even been mentally preparing how to reject other factions—because he had only one goal, and that was the Spirit Pagoda.

He harbored an indescribable disgust for Shrek and could never join them.

Furthermore, joining Shrek meant being gifted a "fully-cooked gift package," as it was known as the "graveyard of transmigrators," so there was no way he would ever join.

That left only the Federation, the War God Temple, and the Body Sect.

He loathed the political maneuvering of the Federation; as for the War God Temple, the Hall Master Chen Xinjie made him lose all hope—because this was the "Continent of Romance," and Chen Xinjie had an ambiguous relationship with Shrek's Long Yeyue, being her first love.

She even bore him a son (though he died young).

To outsiders, the War God Temple and Shrek have absolutely nothing to do with one another, but he knows clearly in his heart that the two can be categorized into the same camp.

As for the Body Sect, their secret techniques are indeed impressive, but the sect has already declined—all because they lack the complete Body Sect secret techniques.

If he wants to cultivate perfectly, he still has no choice but to join the Spirit Pagoda.

Why was Han Tianyi, with his Body Martial Soul, able to obtain a perfect silver-grade second awakening and become a rank 98 Super Douluo after joining the Spirit Pagoda?

Lin Tian estimates that Huo Yuhao, that selfish and self-interested villain, not only failed to return the secret techniques to the Body Sect, causing them to fall into complete decline, but also kept the complete techniques within the Spirit Pagoda to recruit powerful Body Martial Soul spirit masters; Han Tianyi is the best example of this.

If you want to cultivate a Body Martial Soul, the Body Sect is just a joke; you still have to go to the faction of the King of Backstabbing, Huo Yuhao.

Even if the techniques weren't there, he would still have Han Tianyi to guide him; in short, his Blood Martial Soul would not go to waste.

Furthermore, the Spirit Pagoda has always stood firmly in opposition to Shrek, and he greatly admires the unyielding spirit of Qiangu Dongfeng.

He intends to join the Spirit Pagoda, patch up this ship destined to sink in time, and after making it his own, rewrite the fate of the Spirit Pagoda.

Setting all that aside, he has no money to buy spirit souls, but the Spirit Pagoda can provide them; he has no money for tickets to the Spirit Ascension Platform, but after joining the Spirit Pagoda, he can enter at will and also obtain a massive amount of cultivation resources.

Therefore, joining the Spirit Pagoda is the one and only choice for every transmigrator.

Since he meets the qualifications to join the Spirit Pagoda and receive key cultivation, he naturally cannot waste this opportunity.

Now that the people from the Spirit Pagoda have actually come knocking on his door, it is truly heaven-sent!

After all, Twin Martial Souls, no matter how weak, are still Twin Martial Souls.

Right, the Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang seems to have paid tribute to this very segment!
