Douluo: Shocked! The Most Beautiful Bride, Qian Renxue! Written by A Flicker of Flame in the Depths of Winter
Synopsis:
After an accident, Li Jiutian somehow crossed over to Douluo Continent and acquired the Martial Soul Replication System.
On the day his Martial Soul Awakening took place, everyone present was stunned!
"One pair, two pairs, three pairs, four pairs... It's actually an Eight-Winged Angel! Xiao Tian, who exactly are you..."
Looking at the boy radiating a sacred aura in the center of the arena, Qian Renxue was dumbfounded.
"Is he really an orphan?"
Looking at the Eight-Winged Angel towering dozens of meters high, Bibi Dong furrowed her brows slightly and thought to herself.
Tang San: My Clear Sky Hammer is the strongest Weapon Spirit on Douluo Continent!
"Oh? Is that so?"
Looking at the God-Slaying Hammer on the system panel, a cunning smile flickered across Li Jiutian's lips.
The synopsis doesn't do it justice. Please read the story!
Chapter 1: Qian Renxue's Recognition!
"Kid, you'd better come with me quietly. There's no one here who can save you!"
A burly man with a handlebar mustache, standing 175 centimeters tall, glared viciously at the boy before him.
But there wasn't the slightest trace of fear in the boy's eyes. Instead, he let out a mocking laugh.
"Snake Lance, look at that child. He's quite interesting!"
At the mouth of a narrow alley stood a graceful woman wearing a veil. Her voice sounded aloof, yet it was as beautiful as a nightingale's song.
A man clad in golden armor stood beside her. The two of them watched the child grappling with the burly man in the shadowy alley, then suddenly stopped walking.
The woman looked at the child, whose neck was being gripped in one of the man's hands, yet whose eyes showed no fear. A flicker of interest stirred in her heart.
"Do you think that child will die at that man's hands?"
Watching the scene before her, the woman showed no intention of stepping in to help.
"Young Master, how could such a small child possibly be a match for a grown man?"
"By saying that, Young Master, are you asking me to step in and save the child?"
The woman shook her head and pointed at the boy, who was on the verge of passing out from being choked.
"That child absolutely won't die in a place like this. I saw resentment and fury in his eyes."
"If he survives, bring him back to the Elder Hall."
"If he dies, kill the man. That will count as avenging him."
"Ah! You damned brat, I'll kill you!"
An agonized scream suddenly rang through the entire alley.
The child, whose neck had been gripped in the burly man's hand, flashed a cold glint in his eyes. He snatched up a handful of sand from the ground and flung it into the man's eyes!
The burly man screamed, then abruptly let go and frantically rubbed his eyes.
The boy seized his chance and kicked the man in the crotch!
"Gah! You... you little bastard!"
After a sickening crunch, the burly man stammered incoherently, then clutched his crotch and slowly slumped to the ground.
Seizing the moment, the boy suddenly picked up a huge rock and slammed it into the man's head!
A series of miserable screams echoed through the alley...
The boy struck him more than ten times. Once the burly man had stopped breathing, he tossed the rock aside and lay down in the pool of blood, limbs spread like the character for "wood."
"Young Master, he really did it!"
"When the child blinded the burly man, I thought he'd take the chance to run."
"I didn't expect him to be so ruthless. He killed the man outright!"
The man standing beside the woman spoke with some surprise.
"Mm, I saw. This child is a talent!"
After she spoke, the woman slowly walked toward the alley.
"What a splendid fight. What's your name?"
When the child saw the woman before him, a flicker of delight passed across his face. Then he calmly replied, "Li Jiutian."
"How old is this child? Five? Six?"
"I can't read anything in his eyes. There's only indifference."
"Those eyes have not a trace of color. They're as deep as the starry sky, impossible to fathom."
The woman thought to herself, then asked:
"Where are your parents?"
"They're both dead. I wander around alone, with the sky for a quilt and the earth for a bed."
Li Jiutian rose from the pool of blood and answered softly. Then he grumbled inwardly:
"Qian Renxue, I finally ran into you. Do you know what I've been through this past year? Damn it!"
That's right, Li Jiutian hadn't originally belonged to this world. He'd been an aimless office worker on Blue Star.
Day after day, he'd worked twelve-hour shifts until he'd grown numb, turning into a work machine without emotions.
One night, after work, he happened to come across the novel Douluo Continent while browsing QQ Reading. After that, he couldn't stop.
Li Jiutian read from night until dawn, finishing the entire first volume of Douluo Continent in one sitting.
The next day, he went to work and dropped dead while tightening screws on the assembly line.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he'd crossed over into the world of Douluo Continent.
He'd become a five-year-old orphan and awakened the Martial Soul Replication System.
Just as its name suggested, the system could replicate other people's Martial Souls and then evolve them a second time. It was an outrageously powerful ability.
But he had to reach the age of six before he could replicate a Martial Soul. Thanks to his knowledge of Douluo Continent, Li Jiutian had barely managed to survive for the past year.
Before Snake Lance Douluo could say anything, the woman interrupted Li Jiutian as he stood there in a daze and calmly asked, "Are you willing to come with me?"
"Sure!"
When the woman heard Li Jiutian's reply, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly beneath her veil.
Then, dressed in a gold-threaded palace gown, she took his bloodstained little hand without the slightest disgust and led him out of the alley.
"By the way, my name is Qian Renxue. From now on, you'll stay at Spirit Hall."
Usually aloof, she now spoke with unusual gentleness.
Perhaps she felt that this little boy's experiences were somewhat like her own.
With that indifferent gaze and his ruthless determination in the face of a powerful enemy, he could definitely become her trusted subordinate if properly nurtured.
Douluo Continent, Spirit City.
The most prosperous city, located between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
At the heart of Spirit City stood a magnificent golden palace. In front of it was an Angel Statue towering dozens of meters high.
That's right, this was Spirit Hall!
"Xiao Tian, today's the day you awaken your Martial Soul. I hope your talent doesn't disappoint me!"
Qian Renxue pointed toward the palace ahead and said earnestly.
"Mm, my Martial Soul definitely won't disappoint you!"
Li Jiutian replied with a smile.
Qian Renxue nodded in satisfaction, then said to the man beside her, "Elder Snake Lance, take Li Jiutian to wash up, then bring him to the center of the plaza for his Martial Soul Awakening."
Snake Lance Douluo nodded slightly, led Li Jiutian down a corridor, then took him into one of the rooms.
The bathwater had already been prepared. Before Snake Lance Douluo could say anything, Li Jiutian leapt into the tub and began washing the blood and grime from his body.
"Little guy, put on this black robe when you're done."
Snake Lance Douluo set the clothes on the cabinet, then went outside.
About the time it took to drink a cup of tea later, Li Jiutian finished bathing, changed into the black robe, and headed for the door.
When Snake Lance Douluo saw Li Jiutian after his bath, he froze.
He hadn't expected the little guy to be so delicate and adorable.
"Come on. I'll take you to the center of the plaza to awaken your Martial Soul!"
After he spoke, Snake Lance Douluo slowly headed outside.
Li Jiutian followed silently, thinking:
"I turned six today. Why haven't I heard the system's notification?"
"System, you can't screw me over like this!"
"If I awaken a Trash Martial Soul, I'll be worthless. Qian Renxue might abandon me without a second thought!"

Chapter 2: Innate Full Soul Power, God-tier Spirit Eight-Winged Angel!
Spirit Hall, on the plaza.
Spirit Hall was especially lively today. There was only one reason: it was the day of the Martial Soul Awakening.
In a corner of the plaza, a six-year-old boy gazed at the scene before him with a helpless expression.
"What are you thinking about?"
A cold voice sounded behind Li Jiutian.
"Nothing. I'm just a little excited at the thought of awakening my Martial Soul."
Li Jiutian turned around and saw a woman walking over on long, graceful legs.
The woman looked to be in her teens. Her skin was fair as snow, her figure graceful, and her breathtaking features carried a hint of authority, making her seem sacred and untouchable.
There probably wasn't another woman as beautiful as her anywhere on the continent, and she was, of course, Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes swept over Li Jiutian. Then her red lips parted, and she said softly, "Your Martial Soul Awakening is today. You'll need Soul Power if you want to stay at Spirit Hall."
Li Jiutian's expression stiffened, but he quickly regained his composure and walked toward the center of the plaza.
The one in charge of the Martial Soul Awakening was a Soul Douluo. He directed Li Jiutian to stand in the middle of six black stones.
Watching Li Jiutian's small figure, Qian Renxue clenched her jade-white hand into a fist. Even she couldn't help feeling nervous.
"I'd like to see what this little guy you brought back can do!"
On a high platform not far away, a woman looked at Li Jiutian in the center of the plaza with disdain.
The woman wore a crown and held a scepter. Her eyes seemed gentle, yet concealed a trace of barely perceptible venom. She looked like a young woman in her twenties, but no one dared to underestimate her. She was the current Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong!
"I'm going to awaken your Martial Soul. Don't be afraid. Close your eyes and concentrate on how you feel." The Soul Douluo smiled slightly, then shouted, "War Bear, possess me!"
The Soul Douluo's muscles grew even more massive. Especially the towering brown bear phantom, eight meters tall, behind him—it was so terrifying that it sent chills down one's spine.
