Legend of the Dragon King Douluo Planet Recognizes Me as Master?

In an unnamed, obscure little village under the jurisdiction of Shrek City.

Before a mud-brick house, a haggard-looking woman crouched on the ground, her hands resting on the shoulders of the boy in front of her.

Her gaze was complex.

"Xiao An," the woman began, her voice somewhat hoarse, "you are six years old. Today... it is time to awaken your Martial Soul."

Hearing his mother, Lin Xiu, Gu An did not speak.

He sighed inwardly.

Having been reborn into the world of Douluo Continent II, he had started with the same treatment as the Great Buddha Tang: his parents were being hunted down.

The only difference was that the pursuers had changed from the Spirit Hall to Shrek Academy.

The reason was simple.

Xuan Zi felt his parents' Martial Souls were too sinister and wanted to act on behalf of heaven.

He had charged over, shouting something about "evil begets evil."

The reason was simple enough; Xuan Zi claimed his parents' Martial Souls were too sinister, and that the descendants of evil soul masters would inevitably become evil soul masters themselves, so they had to be nipped in the bud.

What a high-sounding excuse.

Gu An lowered his lashes, a flicker of coldness crossing his eyes.

He knew better than anyone what the reality was.

His father had obtained an item that Xuan Zi wanted, and when Xuan Zi had casually asked for it, his father had refused.

That was all.

Humiliated by the refusal, Xuan Zi had flown into a rage, slapped the label of "evil soul master" on them, and pursued them to the ends of the earth under the banner of "evil begets evil."

They had no background, just children raised by two commoner families who had saved up gold soul coins for generations to barely afford the cost of a Martial Soul awakening.

By luck, their Martial Souls had mutated, and they became soul masters, thinking it was the beginning of their families' rise.

Instead, both families were slaughtered to the last person.

After the bloodbath, they even pinned the blame on Gu An's parents, claiming they had gone mad after awakening evil Martial Souls and killed their own families.

His father had exhausted all his strength, burning his very essence, to give his wife and child a chance to escape.

His mother had also been struck by Xuan Zi, suffering injuries to her foundation that had never healed, forcing her to hide her identity in this nameless village under Shrek City.

Perhaps Xuan Zi believed that anyone who took his blow could not possibly survive, so he had stopped sending people to search.

Gu An clenched his fists.

Having experienced it all firsthand, he knew clearly that the item was likely nothing particularly important.

It was just that Xuan Zi felt his pride had been wounded.

He was a dignified Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion at Shrek Academy; how could someone dare to refuse him when he personally asked for something?

Therefore, the other party had to die.

Gu An suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, his gaze turning calm once more.

This was the backyard of the Great Buddha Tang before it had fully become his private garden, and it was so close to Shrek City.

The most dangerous place was the safest place.

He hoped he could develop well here.

Gu An's mother walked to a simple wooden table and set up the formation for the Martial Soul awakening.

If she hadn't prepared it before Gu An was born, with her current strength, she would truly be unable to perform an awakening without awakening stones.

She turned around and looked at Gu An, her expression complex. Her lips moved, and it took a long while before she spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Xiao An, Mother hopes you awaken a powerful Martial Soul, yet I also hope you awaken an ordinary one."

"The former... to avenge your father and kill those hypocrites at Shrek Academy."

Her fingers trembled slightly, her nails digging into her palms.

"The latter, to stay with Mother in this little village and live a peaceful life."

Gu An raised his eyes and looked into his mother's eyes.

They were bloodshot and the rims were red, yet no tears fell; she had cried them all dry.

He did not speak, only nodded gently.

Gu An's mother suppressed the emotions in her heart and released her soul power, which had plummeted from a level 60-something Soul Emperor to only level 30.

A hexagram formation lit up beneath Gu An's feet, enveloping him.

Gu An closed his eyes.

The simplest way to defy the heavens and change one's fate on the Douluo Continent was through Martial Soul mutation.

A single mutation could turn a pheasant into a phoenix, or a trash Martial Soul into a top-tier one.

The light grew brighter and brighter.

Just then, an inconspicuous black sphere in the corner suddenly stirred.

It silently surged towards Gu An and merged into him the moment it touched his body.

No one noticed this scene.

Gu An only felt a buzzing sound in his mind.

A weak female voice echoed in his consciousness.

"Outsider?"

Gu An's pupils contracted sharply.

"Only you have the chance to stop Tang San, who is also an outsider."

The female voice was extremely weak, and Gu An feared she might die before finishing her sentence.

Before Gu An could ask, the voice continued, speaking rapidly as if it knew its time was short.

She said she was the plane consciousness of Douluo Continent.

But not the Douluo Continent of this world, but the Douluo Continent from the world of Legend of the Dragon King.

Because the Abyssal Plane had moved too quickly, Douluo Continent had no time to accumulate strength to resist it.

She had found a way to escape the suppression of Tang Hao, and fortunately, she had held back then and was not completely devoured, remaining dormant.

Just as Gu An awakened his martial soul, she sensed the soul fluctuations of an outsider on him and thus actively entered his body.

Gu An was completely stunned.

His heart pounded, the beats echoing in his eardrums.

It took him several seconds to digest the information from her words.

"What can you give me?"

Gu An had already weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

The hatred was real, and the desire to become stronger was also real.

If this plane consciousness could provide him with the capital to become stronger, then it was worth it.

If not, then that was another matter.

The plane consciousness's voice weakened further.

"Apart from the severely damaged origin of this world, all the characters are still alive. You can choose one of them as your bodyguard."

"At the same time, I can grant you two martial souls."

"You can examine them yourself next. I will hand over the permissions to you."

"Don't worry, I have recognized you as my master. We are in the same boat, and I will not harm you."

"I am about to fall into a deep sleep. Only the world origin of the current world can repair me."

"This is a very important matter for you and will be very beneficial for your future."

Her voice paused, and the last sentence carried an almost solemn tone.

"It even offers the chance for this Douluo Planet to become a world comparable to the God Realm."

After saying this, her voice completely vanished.

Gu An stood in place. The six-pointed star array beneath his feet was still operating, and the golden light still enveloped him.

But he had no intention of paying attention to the external awakening.

He did not fully believe these words.

Gu An silently recited in his mind, extending his consciousness inward.

The next second, his breathing stopped.

He could actually sense it.

The Douluo Star within his body, the outline of the entire planet, was clearly visible. Mountains, rivers, continents, and oceans were all presented within his consciousness.

And it was completely under his control.

However, most of the areas were gray and white, like a faded painting, lacking vitality.

Lacking world origin.

Gu An slowly exhaled, but his heart beat faster and faster.

He believed some of it.

At the very least, a bodyguard and a more powerful martial soul were the things he needed most right now.

Regardless of what else this plane consciousness had not said, he would first secure the benefits before him.

His consciousness fell upon the options provided by Douluo Star.

Because he was currently awakening his martial soul, the first thing he looked at was the list of replaceable martial souls.

The moment the list unfolded in his consciousness, Gu An's eyelids twitched.

It encompassed almost all the named martial souls from Douluo I, Douluo II, and Douluo III.

At the top of the list were the martial souls of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Gu An's gaze swept upwards, landing on the first item in the list.

The martial soul that appeared surprised him somewhat.
