From Douluo to Defying Heaven and Becoming a God Chapter 21

It was truly too powerful, born from the resentment of heaven and earth, feeding on blood, neither entering the cycle of reincarnation nor falling into hell. It was struck by heavenly lightning, soaring through the nine heavens and descending into the netherworld, the ultimate embodiment of yin and evil...

It had died beneath the heavenly tribulation that led to a higher realm. Through the memories of that zombie, Jiang Chen gained some understanding of that higher state of existence.

That realm was called the "Ba," also known as the "Drought Demon." Wherever the Drought Demon passed, the land would be scorched for a thousand miles, and it carried a terrifying plague capable of destroying the world. It fed on dragons, and both gods and demons feared it.

Once it reached that realm, there was almost nothing between heaven and earth that could threaten it; heaven could not destroy it, and the earth could not bury it.

Just as Jiang Chen was lost in his thoughts, a loli-like voice suddenly rang out in his mind, startling him so much that he nearly tumbled off the roof.

Congratulations to the host for awakening your martial soul. Super Zombie Evolution System activated. A novice gift pack has been gifted to you.

Jiang Chen's face was blank, but after a long moment, he suddenly burst into manic laughter; anyone could hear the triumph in that sound.

The Little Black Sparrow flew onto Jiang Chen's shoulder, appearing somewhat happy as well, though its eyes were a bit dull, lacking a spark of intelligence.

"Go on, go play by yourself," Jiang Chen said with a smile. This was his zombie puppet, under his control. In daily life, it served as his eyes, and nothing that happened in Holy Soul Village could escape his observation.

"What exactly is in the novice gift pack?" Excitement flickered in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Chapter 11: The Infuriating Novice Gift Pack

For six years, he had only possessed one cultivation technique, and he had once thought that was his golden finger.

But he hadn't expected that a massive surprise was still to come; after his martial soul awakened, a system had actually appeared.

At this moment, a system interface appeared in his mind.

Host: Jiang Chen Douluo Level: 10 Zombie Level: 12 Spirit Ring: None Items: None

System message: Do you wish to open the novice gift pack?

"Yes." Jiang Chen did not hesitate at all.

Novice gift pack opened. You have obtained the following items:

God-Bestowed Spirit Ring (1): Generates the most suitable spirit ring based on the host's attributes. The age of the spirit ring is related to the host's physical strength and willpower. The longer the host persists while absorbing the spirit ring, the higher the age of the ring will be.

Spirit Ring Upgrade Voucher (1): After use, you may choose to increase the age of a spirit ring. The upgraded age will be the maximum age the host can withstand at the time of use (limited to levels 11-20).

Dark Blessing Potion (1): After consumption, it can heal all of the host's current injuries and restore them to their peak state.

Looking at these novice items in the system inventory, Jiang Chen grinned with satisfaction. It was truly like someone bringing a pillow just as he was getting sleepy.

He had just awakened his martial soul and possessed innate full spirit power; as long as he absorbed a spirit ring, he could break through to the Spirit Master realm and continue his cultivation.

He had thought he would have to wait until he reached Nuoding Academy to obtain his first spirit ring, but he hadn't expected the surprise to arrive so quickly.

How could Jiang Chen resist the temptation of becoming a Spirit Master? The moment he thought about how he would soon possess magical skills, he became impatient.

He jumped down and took a look into Old Jack's room; Old Jack had gotten dead drunk the night before and had not yet woken up.
