Sky-Piercing Spear, Tag System (Please Bookmark!)

Douluo Continent.

Saint Soul Village.

At the first light of dawn, two small figures appeared right on time atop the hill behind the village.

"Tang San, you're up this early again?"

"Hmph, Yun Tian, stop asking me that all the time. Want me to teach you how to cultivate? Not a chance!"

"You're an orphan. How great could your talent possibly be? You'd better buy a hoe early and get ready to work the fields!"

Tang San, seated cross-legged on the hilltop, looked down at the little boy below with utter disdain.

"I-I don't... Sigh, whatever you say."

The boy named Yun Tian wanted to say something more, but in the end, he shook his head and turned to leave. Yun Tian was a transmigrator. Ever since arriving in Douluo Continent, he had lived in Village Chief Old Jack's home.

Having never seen his parents since childhood, Yun Tian did not even know what his martial soul would be. For the sake of survival, he had wanted to build a good relationship with Tang San, but the other boy simply could not be bothered with him. He had even outright insulted him just now, saying he was destined to be a farmer.

Yun Tian sighed. "I just hope I awaken a decent martial soul. I'm not asking for something like a Fallen Angel, a Life-and-Death Yama Hammer, or a Pangu Axe. Even an iron sword would be fine."

"And I don't even have the system every transmigrator is supposed to get. Wasn't this transmigration for nothing?"

He slowly walked home. The moment he opened the door, he saw Old Jack bustling about at the dining table.

"Grandpa Jack!"

"Oh, Little Tian's back? Did you go see that Tang San brat again today?"

Ever since Yun Tian had gone to Tang San and been insulted, Old Jack no longer called him Little San. Such a rude child was simply disgusting.

How dare a blacksmith's son insult his precious grandson?

"Yeah. I won't go again next time. He said I was fated to be a farmer."

"That little brat! Next time, I'll go argue with his father myself!"

Grandfather and grandson sat together for breakfast. Compared to Tang San, who was still drinking thin porridge, Yun Tian was doing fairly well. At the very least, he had bread to eat.

"Oh, right, Little Tian. Tomorrow, someone from Spirit Hall will come to our village to awaken your martial souls. Remember to get up early!"

"I know."

Early the next morning.

Outside the room where martial souls were to be awakened stood Old Jack and more than a dozen children about to undergo their awakening. Yun Tian and Tang San were among them.

Old Jack first glanced at Yun Tian, then instructed the children, "Children, the master from Spirit Hall will arrive soon. Don't be nervous. Saint Soul Village's future rests on your shoulders."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yuntao, dressed in Spirit Hall's official uniform and carrying the materials needed for the awakening, arrived. Without even looking at them, he headed inside.

Once everyone had entered the Awakening Hall, Old Jack respectfully said to Su Yuntao, "Soul Master, we'll be troubling you."

Su Yuntao nodded, then looked at the children before him. "All right. When I call your name, step forward."

Time slowly passed, and the children were nearly done awakening their martial souls. Some awakened hoes, some Blue Silver Grass, and some chunks of iron. However, their innate soul power was either nonexistent or only Rank One or Two.

"Sigh, next up, Tang San!"

Upon hearing this, Tang San first glanced at Yun Tian, his gaze cold. Yet Yun Tian could see the provocation in it. He had not provoked Tang San at all these past few days, yet he was being challenged for no reason. Who could put up with that?

As expected, Tang San awakened Blue Silver Grass in one hand, while his other hand remained tightly clenched.

His soul power was also innately full.

"Sigh, what a pity. Although you have innately full soul power, your martial soul is the useless Blue Silver Grass."

"Last one, Yun Tian!"

Su Yuntao pointed at the awakening platform with anticipation. Tang San had innately full soul power, so could Yun Tian have it as well?

As soul power was injected into him, Yun Tian felt as though something inside his body was about to emerge.

He involuntarily raised his right hand.

The next moment, before the eyes of Su Yuntao and Tang San, who had yet to leave—

A long spear, entirely translucent white, appeared in Yun Tian's hand. Its blade was long and narrow, and the shaft bore the ancient seal-script characters "Sky-Piercing." Wrapped in a hazy white glow, it was straight and unadorned in design.

"This... Isn't this the Sky-Piercing Spear of Yun Ming, the Sky-Piercing Douluo? Why did it end up here with me?"

"A spear!? And it looks like it's of no low quality. Little friend, quickly come test your soul power!"

As Yun Tian placed his palm on the crystal ball, his soul power instantly filled it. It was the unmistakable sign of innately full soul power.

"He really has innately full soul power! My quota's in the bag!"

Su Yuntao was overjoyed. He had only been thinking about it just now—what if two appeared in a row? And it had actually happened!

"How is that possible!? How could he also have innately full soul power!"

Tang San's expression, however, turned rather unpleasant. Whether he himself truly possessed innately full soul power was questionable, since he cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Technique. But Yun Tian's soul power was absolutely genuine!

At that moment, time froze.

Su Yuntao's smile froze in place, as did Tang San's ugly expression.

Before Yun Tian could react, a panel unfolded directly before him.

[Tag System activated. Every ten ranks, you may choose one from three random tags. Tag qualities are: blue, purple, gold, and rainbow. Detected that the host possesses innately full soul power. Reward: tag selection opportunities changed to one choice from each of the four qualities!]

Before Yun Tian could say anything, the system had already listed the available tags.

[Rainbow · All-Law-Repelling Spearheart: All illusions, mental manipulation, and similar effects are completely ineffective. Your will is eternally firm, and the protagonist's fate cannot affect you in any way.]

[Rainbow · Sky-Supporting Dao Seed: You are born with the origin of the Spear Dao planted within you. Your realm will never suffer from foundational flaws, and no fate can seize your martial foundation.]

[Rainbow · Unhindered Great Dao: No more barriers that are difficult to break through. Divine positions will actively favor you as you grow!]

[Gold · Heaven-Supporting Might: A mighty spear aura naturally radiates from your body. Soul beasts and even Title-ranked powerhouses will subconsciously feel goodwill toward you.]

[Gold · Gunslinger's Heart-Painting: You may alter or delete other people's tags, but each person can only be altered once, and the changes cannot depart from reality.]

[Gold · Unyielding Spearbone: When subjected to contempt or suppression, your soul power circulation efficiency greatly increases. The allure of others' fate cannot sway your choices.]

[Purple · Destiny's Eye: You can see other people's tags.]

[Purple · Innate Spear Sense: By coming into contact with a spear, you can rapidly comprehend spear techniques without years of grinding through the basics.]

[Purple · Killing Intent Perception: After sensing killing intent, you may counter it, making that person feel fear.]

[Blue · Heavenly Spear-Bone Physique: You possess a tall, slender figure and an awe-inspiring bearing, making it easy to gain favor at first sight as you grow older.]

[Blue · Body Tempering and Meridian Opening: Your meridians are broad, reducing soul power loss during circulation and increasing daily cultivation efficiency by thirty percent.]

[Blue · Aura Discernment: You can vaguely sense the movements of soul power flowing around you.]
