An Incredibly Dramatic Fate

The next day, Lin Bei got up early and made breakfast for himself and the old man.

After gaining level-ten soul power, his body was no longer as weak as an ordinary six-year-old child's.

Making breakfast, at least, was still something he could manage.

In his previous life, Lin Bei had become an unemployed youth because of the pandemic, and to cut expenses, he had trained himself into a pretty decent cook.

Before long, a fragrant pot of Sweet Potato Porridge was ready.

When the old man got up and saw the Sweet Potato Porridge on the table, he was very surprised.

"Little Bei, you made this?"

"Mm. I watched my mother make it before."

"I didn't expect you to have a talent for being a chef too."

Old Adam was very happy, and secretly let out a sigh of relief.

With a talent like this, even if Little Bei couldn't become a soul master when the time came, he could at least go to Notting City to learn cooking.

What Old Adam worried about most was what this poor little fellow would do after he died, if Lin Bei couldn't become a soul master.

Now that he had seen Lin Bei show a talent for cooking, the old man was exceptionally happy.

Old Adam ate the meal with a smile all over his face.

Lin Bei did not think too much of it, and only assumed Old Adam liked the Sweet Potato Porridge he had made.

During the day, Lin Bei, as a little brat, did not have to do anything.

Right now, all his thoughts were on his simulator.

Soon, midnight arrived.

His Simulation Point refreshed right on time.

"This time, cross over properly for me..."

Lin Bei muttered to himself and began the simulation.

Selected Simulation Timeline: Douluo Continent · Parallel Timeline.

Consumed 1 Simulation Point. Beginning space-time traversal simulation...

Earth, year 2022. As a young man who became unemployed as soon as he graduated, you were playing on your phone when the phone charger suffered an electrical leak. You were accidentally electrocuted to death, then reborn and crossed over to the Douluo Continent...

When Lin Bei saw this, he let out a sigh of relief.

Good. Although this method of crossing over also made him want to complain—

Could a phone charger leaking electricity really electrocute someone to death?

Don't think I don't have any common sense!

It was a crossover method full of things to roast, but at least he had safely crossed over to the Douluo Continent.

Age 0: You were born into the Kaisan Sect Lin Family.

The Kaisan Sect was a small sect, and its inherited martial soul was the powerful martial soul, the Kaisan Axe.

Your parents named you Lin Bei.

The powerful martial soul, Kaisan Axe?

And he was even born in a soul master sect!

Wasn't this getting exactly what he wanted?

After this simulation ended, maybe he could obtain this Kaisan Axe martial soul!

Full of anticipation, Lin Bei continued reading—

Age 1: You learned to speak and walk, and began to display wisdom that did not belong to a child, drawing the attention of your parents and family.

Age 2: You began studying classics related to martial souls. Your knowledge of martial souls improved slightly.

Age 3: You continued studying knowledge related to martial souls. Your thirst for knowledge earned Grandpa Clan Leader's appreciation, and in his heart, he secretly made a certain decision.

Age 4: You indulged in a wild fantasy and tried cultivating Tai Chi Fist from your previous life on Earth, wanting to cultivate internal energy in advance. But you did not succeed. Instead, because you cultivated recklessly, a hidden injury appeared in your body.

Age 5: You began training your body. Because you trained too excessively, your body was injured, leaving behind a hidden injury.

Age 6: With the help of the soul masters in your clan, you awakened your martial soul.

Your martial soul mutated and became the super martial soul, Pangu Creation Axe.

Because of the Pangu Creation Axe, your innate soul power reached an unprecedented level thirty.

However, because of the two hidden injuries in your body, your body could not withstand the domineering power of the Pangu Creation Axe. At the moment of awakening, your body exploded and you died.

This simulation has ended. You may choose one of the following rewards.

One: A large amount of martial soul knowledge

Two: Super martial soul—Pangu Creation Axe

Three: Innate Level 30 Soul Power

"..."

Lin Bei's mouth fell open.

He stared at the small words floating before his eyes and could not react for a long time.

What the hell was this?

He awakened a super martial soul, only to explode and die?

Did it think it was being funny?

Did his death have to come that suddenly?!

Wasn't this fate a little too dramatic?!

Only after a long while did Lin Bei look at the three rewards after the simulation ended.

To be honest, all three rewards this time were excellent, and Lin Bei wanted every one of them.

But he could only choose one.

In that case, he could give up the first reward.

He could learn martial soul knowledge in this world too; there was no need to choose it.

The second option was what Lin Bei needed most.

But it carried the danger of his body exploding and dying.

As for the third option, Innate Full Soul Power level thirty, this reward was also extremely good. If he chose it, his soul power, added to the previous ten levels of soul power he had selected, would directly reach level forty.

Lin Bei was somewhat torn.

In his heart, he leaned more toward the second reward.

After all, his parents in this world both had ordinary martial souls.

Barring any accidents, the martial soul he awakened could only be an ordinary martial soul.

In the original work, even Su Yuntao, who awakened Tang San's martial soul for him, felt that even if Tang San had Innate Full Soul Power, since his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, it still was not very good.

That was not to say Su Yuntao was truly blind, as everyone joked—

Unable to see Tang San's talent.

In fact, the attitude he showed was telling everyone that in this world—

The quality of one's martial soul was what determined the height one could reach. The amount of Innate Soul Power one had was, instead, not that important.

Innate Full Soul Power certainly counted as genius talent.

But if your martial soul was truly too useless, what could Innate Full Soul Power do?

Tang San was able to become a god in the end, but it was not by relying on an ordinary Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

He possessed two top-tier martial souls—

Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Silver Emperor.

Then look at the others who became gods. Which of their martial souls was trash?

Bibi Dong also had twin top-tier martial souls.

Qian Renxue even possessed the martial soul closest to a god, the Six-Winged Angel.

As for Dai Mubai and the others, their martial souls were also extremely powerful martial souls.

So, in this world, the quality of the martial soul was what mattered most.

Soul power was secondary instead.

So-called Innate Full Soul Power, compared to the quality of one's martial soul, was nothing more than icing on the cake.

After thinking it over, Lin Bei made up his mind.

"I choose the second!"

When a man dies, his bird faces the sky; if he doesn't die, he'll live for countless years.

Since he had already transmigrated and already had a cheat, if he still did not dare to be a little bold, he might as well really go die!

Ding, congratulations. You have obtained the super martial soul: Pangu Creation Axe.

"Open the panel."

Lin Bei said inwardly, somewhat excited.

Name: Lin Bei

Martial Soul: Pangu Creation Axe (unawakened)

Soul Power: Level 10

Simulation Points: 0

Available Simulation Timeline: Douluo Continent · Parallel Timeline

Seeing the martial soul on the panel, Lin Bei finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Grandpa Village Chief, why hasn't the soul master come yet?"

Under a huge ancient tree, a little brat asked rather impatiently.

They had been waiting here since before the sun had risen in the morning for the soul master who was coming to awaken their martial souls.

But there had been no sign of the soul master.

The other children in the village were already getting impatient.

If their parents hadn't been watching from the side, these little brats probably would have run off to play.

Old Adam smiled and said to the little brat, "He'll be here soon. Don't be anxious."

"Oh."

Hearing the same answer from Old Adam again, the little brat squatted off to the side with an unhappy look and went back to boredly counting the ants on the ground.

Leaning beneath the ancient tree, Lin Bei glanced at the little brat, feeling somewhat impatient himself.

He had originally been looking forward to today's awakening ceremony, but after waiting like this...

All that anticipation was gone.

After waiting for who knew how much longer, Lin Bei was almost asleep against the roots of the ancient tree.

After obtaining the Pangu Creation Axe last night, he had been so excited that he hadn't fallen asleep until two or three in the morning.

Then he had been called up early this morning.

Waiting until now really had left him a little drowsy.

"My lord soul master, you're here."

Old Adam's delighted voice suddenly rang by his ear. Lin Bei lifted his drooping eyelids and looked in Old Adam's direction.

He saw a young man in his twenties walking over at an unhurried pace, dressed in a clean, splendid uniform.

The young man's attitude was somewhat impatient. "All right, let's get started."

Faced with Old Adam's welcome, he merely waved his hand. "I wasted quite a bit of time in Holy Soul Village today. Let's just begin here."

Old Adam asked, "My lord soul master, how was the situation in Holy Soul Village this year?"

As the young soul master set out some strange stones and arranged a formation beneath the ancient tree, he said, "A child with Innate Full Soul Power appeared over there. Unfortunately, his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass..."

"Innate Full Soul Power?!"

When Old Adam heard that term, shock immediately appeared on his face.

The young soul master shook his head and said, "Innate Full Soul Power is indeed very talented, but if the martial soul isn't good enough, that child's future achievements won't be too high either."

Old Adam fell silent.

That was right. In this world, what mattered in the end was the quality of your martial soul, not how much soul power you had.

What could Blue Silver Grass even do?
