Ling Yu

Douluo Continent, Fanos Province, Morning Glow Village!

Dawn was just breaking, and white mist blurred the low houses scattered throughout the village.

On a small hill not far from the village, a boy of five or six sat quietly on the grass.

His long black hair draped over his shoulders, and his fair, handsome face and high nose bridge were enough to captivate anyone at a single glance.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands forming a peculiar gesture with his palms facing the sky. Accompanied by a special rhythm of breathing, a faint earthy yellow glow actually appeared over the surface of his body.

Yet no one witnessed this strange scene!

Only after the sun had fully risen and the mist dispersed did a stream of white vapor emerge from his mouth as his chest steadily rose and fell.

The boy opened eyes as deep as a black starry sky, braced his hands against his knees, and slowly stood up.

"Has it already been nearly six years?"

At his soft murmur, a strange expression appeared on the boy's face.

The boy was Ling Yu, who had transmigrated from Earth. Who could have imagined that after merely touching the earthy yellow scale his grandfather had sent him, he would open his eyes again as a newborn infant, lying quietly outside the door of Morning Glow Village's chief.

Fortunately, the village chief had returned from an outing at the time and found a completely naked infant lying quietly before his door, neither crying nor fussing. He had then raised Ling Yu.

Moreover, the old village chief had still named him Ling Yu in this life.

Looking down at the village below, Ling Yu let out a deep sigh.

When he had first arrived here, Ling Yu had been extremely shocked. Who could remain calm after hearing that they had transmigrated into the world of a novel?

Although Ling Yu had not read the novel Douluo Continent in his previous life, he had watched plenty of anime clips from this world on Douyin and knew some things about it.

The chosen son of this world was a guy named Tang San. With Tang San's background, his identity as a fellow transmigrator, and his cheat ability, Ling Yu had always felt that he might have come to the wrong place.

No matter how he looked at it, he could not compare to Tang San at all. So why had he transmigrated here?

Could it be just to personally witness Tang San become a god?

Wasn't that just damn ridiculous?!

Though Ling Yu had never read the novel, he had seen plenty of people in Douyin's comments giving their evaluations of this world's chosen son!

Things like, "An ungrateful scumbag! I'd rather be Xiao Yan's dog than Tang San's friend!"

Combined with what he had absorbed over time about Tang San, Ling Yu had to admit that Tang San's narrow-mindedness was entirely related to the environment he had grown up in!

As a result, Ling Yu had spent the first two years of his life muddling through lazily, completely unable to fit in with the other children in the village.

He was mentally almost thirty years old. There was no way he was going to play with a bunch of little brats every day. He was not that weird!

That continued until he turned three, when a sudden change occurred within him!

A book actually appeared in his mind. Ling Yu remembered it clearly—it was the very book his grandfather had sent him.

"Basic Cultivation Method"!

As he looked at the book his grandfather had sent him inside his mind, Ling Yu felt for the first time that his cheat ability might finally have arrived.

The book contained the various meridians and acupoints of the human body, breathing and qi circulation techniques, as well as divisions of several realms!

Body Tempering

Blood Refining

Bone Forging

Marrow Cleansing

Soul Refining

Houtian

Xiantian

From then on, Ling Yu cast aside his former laziness and threw himself wholeheartedly into cultivation.

It was also from that time onward that an earthy yellow scale appeared on his chest. Whenever he cultivated according to the "Basic Cultivation Method," he would feel heat spreading throughout his body, especially in his dantian and chest.

It felt as if he were being roasted by fire, and he could clearly sense the hardness brought by the scale on his chest!

Furthermore, every time he practiced the breathing and qi circulation technique, his physical strength continuously increased, while a faint warm current appeared within his dantian.

Ling Yu guessed that this was Soul Power!

From the videos he had watched, he knew that Tang San had started out with Innate Full Soul Power because he cultivated the "Mysterious Heaven Skill"!

What was happening to him should have placed him in the first realm of the "Basic Cultivation Method"—Body Tempering!

"Ah, I wonder what my martial soul actually is?" Ling Yu sighed gloomily.

Although he had a cultivation cheat ability, he had absolutely no idea what his martial soul was.

He had transmigrated bodily, and he had personally watched himself transform from a man over six feet tall into an infant during the process.

With no examples to reference, all he could do was pray that the heavens would grant him a decent martial soul when it awakened!

Glancing at the sun overhead, Ling Yu headed down the hill.

Ever since half a year ago, he had felt that the Soul Power in his dantian had reached saturation. No matter how hard he tried, he could not increase it by even the slightest amount.

Fortunately, although his Soul Power could no longer increase, his physical strength continued growing at a normal pace.

Moreover, after nearly three years of cultivation, Ling Yu had discovered that his cultivation speed was fastest in the early morning, and the increase to his body was also the greatest then.

Much like Tang San's Purple Demon Eye, which could only be cultivated by absorbing the purple qi brought by the first ray of sunlight at dawn, practicing his breathing and qi circulation technique in the morning was ten times faster than normal!

After three years of cultivation, although his Soul Power had reached saturation, the gradual growth of his body had greatly increased his strength!

He had once tested himself against a water buffalo from the village. The result was that he nearly killed the buffalo at the village entrance with a single punch!

He had also secretly tried lifting one of the village's millstones. Many villagers said it weighed at least fifteen hundred jin, yet although Ling Yu had needed to exert some effort, he still lifted it over his head without too much difficulty.

From then on, he understood that his strength far exceeded that of an ordinary adult, reaching at least two thousand jin.

Ling Yu did not know what level that amount of strength represented, because he did not understand this world's combat system very well. He only knew the various realm divisions of Douluo Continent.

As Ling Yu quickened his pace, Morning Glow Village gradually came into view.

The scenery of Morning Glow Village was quite pleasant. Nestled against mountains and water, it was surrounded by green hills and clear streams. Unlike the polluted rivers he had seen in his previous life, the water here was crystal clear and exceptionally clean.

"Oh, Xiao Yu!"

A dark-skinned, honest-looking middle-aged man was turning the soil with a hoe. When he saw Ling Yu approaching, he greeted him warmly.

"What's this? Out training again so early in the morning?"

Ling Yu looked at the middle-aged man and replied with a smile, "That's right, Uncle Zhang. My martial soul is about to awaken, so I thought I'd train a little more. Hopefully, I'll awaken a better martial soul!"

Hearing Ling Yu's words, the middle-aged man gave him a thumbs-up. "Just as expected, Xiao Yu, you're a good one. Unlike that brat of mine—every time I see you, I feel like going home, grabbing my hoe, and beating him up. All he does every day is catch fish and raid bird nests. Never does anything proper!"

Ling Yu laughed a few times with Uncle Zhang, said goodbye, and headed home.
