Martial Soul Scripture Depository?!

"Tell me, what exactly did you awaken for me?"

"A pavilion?"

At this moment, on the eve of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, in Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Empire, on the Douluo Continent.

The lonely moon hung high, and the stars were scattered across the sky.

Li Jingzhe looked at the palm-sized building in his hand, his heart filled with frustration... Was this his Martial Soul?

He knew of building-type Martial Souls like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but that was the continent's number one support-type tool Martial Soul. What was this thing of his?

A... pavilion?

What was the use of it?

Could he throw it to smash people, or was it meant for living in?

As a transmigrator, and one with a system at that, he didn't expect to instantly dominate the heavens and the earth, but what was the meaning of giving him a pavilion?

Was he supposed to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to open a bed and breakfast?

Yes!

That's right!

Li Jingzhe was not a native of this world; he had hit the jackpot and transmigrated here.

On his first day in this world, upon discovering he had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, to be honest, Li Jingzhe was incredibly excited. Although the Douluo world was mocked as the sewer of fantasy, not even reaching the floor tiles, but... one could become a god here!

Become a god!

Eternal life!

Surely no mortal could refuse the temptation of becoming a god—transcendent power and endless life!

This was something he had dreamed of possessing before he transmigrated!

He had intended to rely on his advantage as a transmigrator with foresight to make a name for himself in the Douluo world, perhaps even snagging a godhood to play with.

Regardless of whether the gods of this world were equivalent to half-baked, what he wanted was eternal life!

Who would have thought, heaven did not grant his wish!

The original body was actually a piece of trash without a Martial Soul...

As everyone knew, on the Douluo Continent, a Martial Soul could be trash, could mutate, or could fail to awaken, but one could not be without one!

"What if it's a Body Martial Soul?"

Li Jingzhe held onto his last shred of fantasy. After all, this was the era of the first Douluo, and the spirit master world's understanding of Body Martial Souls was insufficient; it was normal to mistake someone who had awakened a Body Martial Soul as having no Martial Soul.

Facts proved he had thought too much!

It wasn't...

Was this right?

How could a native of the Douluo Continent have no Martial Soul? How did he manage such an outrageous thing?

Honestly, at that moment, Li Jingzhe didn't even know how to complain...

He had thought his life was hopeless, but fortunately, the system descended from the heavens!

[Ding, host's Martial Soul deficiency detected... Martial Soul remodeling in progress... Martial Soul awakening in progress...]

And then... the scene from just a moment ago occurred.

The Martial Soul had awakened, but why was it so strange?

Li Jingzhe focused his gaze to observe his Martial Soul, finally identifying three characters on the plaque of the palm-sized pavilion. His pupils constricted, and the corners of his mouth twitched... Scripture Depository?

"No, is this right..."

"System, come out!"

"Come, come, come, tell me... what the hell is a Scripture Depository Martial Soul? How is this thing supposed to be paired with spirit rings? What the hell is the use of it?"

[Ding, host's Martial Soul has been activated, Martial Arts Grandmaster System binding complete]

[Host: Li Jingzhe]
[Martial Soul: Scripture Depository]
[Current Realm: None]
[Soul Power Level: None]
[Cultivation Techniques: None]

Ha!

What a "three-none" system!

Li Jingzhe was so angry he laughed, but the next second, he seemed to think of something...

"Wait a minute, what did you just say your system was?"

[Ding, Martial Arts Grandmaster System activated... Martial Arts Grandmaster System, focused on cultivating martial arts grandmasters, breaking through the innate, transcending the grandmaster level, condensing the Martial Arts Golden Core, and shattering the void with a punch!]

"No, seriously, what are you even getting so fired up about..."

"A martial arts grandmaster?"

"This is the damn Douluo World, for crying out loud! It's bad enough I don't have a god-tier martial soul, but you want me to practice martial arts?"

"Even if this is the bottom of the barrel in the fantasy genre, it's still a fantasy world—the kind where people can become gods. Me, a martial artist, playing around with them? Is that appropriate? Is that even reasonable?"

"Everyone else is cultivating immortality in high-fantasy worlds, and here I am practicing martial arts in a fantasy world? What, when a soul beast attacks, I'm supposed to slide-tackle it? Come on, you tell me, which one of us dies first?"

[As a transmigrator, please do not think like a local native... Furthermore, please trust in the system's capabilities. Anything produced by this system is a masterpiece!]

[Starter pack has been issued. Congratulations to the host for obtaining...]

[Muscle and Tendon Classic ×1]

[Dragon-Elephant Prajna Technique ×1]

[Lingbo Microsteps ×1]

Li Jingzhe: ???

No, are you actually serious?

Innate, grandmaster, Martial Dao Golden Core... sounds fancy!

Get this straight: this is the Douluo World. While martial arts internal energy and the soul power of this world can be perfectly compatible, the Douluo World has its own rules. If a cultivator wants to break through, they must hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings!

Considering all that, how long would it take to reach the Innate realm?

And don't even get me started on the Martial Dao Golden Core... by the time I reach that, who knows if I'll even be around!

Sigh—

Transmigration isn't easy, Jingzhe sighs. But then, on second thought... oh well, it's better than nothing!

Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. With my foreknowledge and the system by my side, what more could I ask for?

At least the system was right about one thing: as a dignified transmigrator, I should think like a transmigrator, not like a local native.

I've at least received these techniques and martial arts; I should start practicing them first.

If that scumbag Tang San could take off just by stealing Tang Sect techniques, I surely can't be worse than him.

"Right, System, what other functions do you have? Give me a rundown. You can't just give me these few techniques, right? How about some Nine Yin or Nine Yang manuals?"

"And another thing, you gave me the techniques, but isn't it only right to provide some cultivation resources? Like Vermilion Fruits, Blood Bodhi, or Great/Small Restoration Pills? Can't you spare some of those?"

"I'm not picky about things like the Heaven Reliant Sword or Dragon Slaying Saber; just modify them into melee Soul Tool weapons and that would be fine..."

Li Jingzhe was still talking.

[Ding—]

The system chimed!

[This system is bound to the host's martial soul. The Scripture Depository is the host's martial soul and also the manifestation of the system...]

[The Scripture Depository has nine levels in total. Each time the host obtains a soul ring, a new level will be unlocked. Each level depends on the quality of the soul ring; the higher the quality, the higher the chance of obtaining top-tier techniques and martial arts...]

[Martial Soul: Scripture Depository possesses the innate domain, Home Planet Protection.]

[Home Planet Protection Effect 1: Martial Soul: Scripture Depository can be manifested, size can be adjusted at will, and it consumes no soul power.]

[Home Planet Protection Effect 2: Inside the Scripture Depository, the host is in an invincible state, comparable to a god.]

[Home Planet Protection Effect 3: Inside the Scripture Depository, the host's comprehension is +100%.]

[Additionally, the host may disseminate the techniques and martial arts within the Scripture Depository for others to practice. When others achieve success in their practice, the host can enjoy a critical power return.]

Holy crap?!

It felt as if a thunderclap exploded inside Li Jingzhe's head, lightning flashing across his mind as his eyes locked firmly onto Home Planet Protection.

It can be manifested and resized at will—isn't this just a portable sanctuary?

Being in an invincible state while inside the Scripture Depository—isn't this just a Susanoo?

"I'm invincible!!"

At this moment, ecstasy surged in Li Jingzhe's eyes.
