Awakening Martial Soul, Is It Really Just Coffee?

"Child, step forward."

"Is it finally time to awaken my martial soul?"

Listening to the old man in front of him, Bai Ran was still a little dazed for a moment.

As a transmigrator, he had arrived in this world six years ago in the blink of an eye.

He had been born in Shrek City. His parents had both been members of Shrek Academy, but they had sacrificed themselves during an operation to hunt down evil soul masters.

Bai Ran: Is this the price of becoming the protagonist?

He had never even seen what his parents looked like.

His deceased mother also had a younger brother—Bai Ran's own uncle—who likewise worked at Shrek Academy, in the cafeteria.

Because his uncle Ye Tian had never talked about it, Bai Ran had never asked. All he knew was that every time his uncle came back from Shrek Academy, he could bring him lots of tasty food.

"Child, close your eyes and carefully sense the martial soul within your body."

Hearing the voice by his ear, Bai Ran hurriedly stopped reminiscing and began to earnestly do as the old man had said.

No joke—in a world like Douluo Continent, awakening one's martial soul could be said to be a soul master's greatest priority.

In a certain sense, a martial soul was like one's bloodline, the "strictest father" of all soul masters.

If one awakened a high-quality martial soul, then as long as one did not die young along the way, one would become someone above others in the future.

On the other hand, if one awakened a useless martial soul, there was basically no chance of a comeback. After all, not everyone had Yu Xiaogang's damned luck and could meet a son of fortune like Tang San.

In addition, as far as Bai Ran knew, the number one academy on the entire continent was Shrek Academy, and Shrek's current dean was Yan Shaozhe.

The current Douluo Continent should be in the timeline of the Unrivaled Tang Sect era, also known as "Douluo 2."

Bai Ran had once asked his uncle whether there was a student named "Huo Yuhao" in the academy, but his uncle had no idea at all.

Bai Ran: Could it be that Huo Yuhao is the same age as me, so he hasn't entered Shrek Academy yet?

In reality, Huo Yuhao was older than him, and just so happened to be preparing to enter Shrek Academy in the second half of this year.

Huo Yuhao became a god at twenty-six. Right now, he was twelve.

Bai Ran was currently six. In other words, if he wanted to surpass Huo Yuhao, he had to become a god before the age of twenty.

Bai Ran: If a system doesn't show up, I seriously can't think of how I'm supposed to surpass him. And even if I do surpass Huo Yuhao, there's still an even stronger Tang San waiting for me afterward.

Just thinking about it made him feel like the Douluo 2 map was basically set to hell difficulty.

Just as Bai Ran's thoughts were running wild, whether it was his imagination or not, he actually saw a blue sika deer running toward him, and on top of that sika deer, there was a snowman riding along.

For the moment, he still had no idea what that snowman was for. (This was the punishment for not drinking Mixue Ice Cream & Tea.)

But that blue sika deer—Bai Ran could not have been more familiar with it.

Wasn't that the logo of Luckin Coffee, the stuff he had drunk a cup of every day before he transmigrated?

What, after transmigrating to another world, Luckin Coffee still had to chase after him and make sure he did not forget to spend 9.9 points every day on a cup of coffee that was nothing but ice?

All of a sudden, Bai Ran felt his right hand turn icy cold.

With this icy sensation, could it be that he had awakened some kind of ice-attribute martial soul?

Thinking this, Bai Ran hurriedly opened his eyes.

Only, after seeing what was in his hand, he was instantly dumbfounded.

A cup of black coffee printed with the Luckin Coffee logo—a standard iced Americano.

The reason it felt cold was entirely because this cup of coffee was filled with ice cubes.

At this point, Bai Ran felt that his martial soul was just coffee.

Nooo, I don't want to become a food-system soul master with lung fog! Damn coffee, you've ruined my dream of becoming a battle soul master!
