Choosing Traits, Setting Off for Notting Academy

"So many!?"

Yun Tian stared wide-eyed at the full dozen traits displayed on the panel. It was truly tempting.

The golden and purple traits immediately caught Yun Tian's attention.

[Gold · Gunslinger's Heart-Painting: You can modify or delete another person's traits, but each person can only be modified once.]

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

"So this golden trait lets me modify them but not see them first. How am I supposed to modify anything if I can't see it?"

Yun Tian was helpless, but fortunately, the purple trait had given him the ability to see traits. Together, these two were an utterly overpowered combination.

Although the other traits were also quite good, some crucial traits could even determine the direction of a person's future. Yun Tian therefore chose the golden and purple traits without hesitation.

As golden and purple light flowed into his body, he seemed to learn something in the depths of his mind.

Yun Tian then began carefully examining the rainbow traits.

All-Law-Repelling Spearheart, Sky-Supporting Dao Seed, and Unhindered Great Dao were undoubtedly all extremely powerful. The first could keep him from being undermined by Tang San's fortune and resolve the problem of fortune interference. However, it was a passive defense that could only guard against others; it could not raise his own upper limit, and its usefulness would gradually narrow in the later stages.

The second would allow Yun Tian to stabilize his foundation, cultivate as smoothly as a fish in water, and even break through without encountering much of a bottleneck. It was the safest choice.

As for the third, becoming a god was certainly tempting, but this was the era of Douluo One. People with outstanding talent never lacked the favor of gods. Besides, Immortal Herbs—the foundation for godhood—existed here. Yun Tian would absolutely never end up like Yun Ming.

For the blue trait, Yun Tian chose Heavenly Spear-Bone Physique. A man's looks were a lifelong matter, though he was already quite handsome.

Besides, the effects of the other two had already been included within the rainbow Sky-Supporting Dao Seed, so there was little need for them.

After selecting these traits, several streams of light entered Yun Tian's body. At that moment, his spearheart seemed utterly clear. The childishness and confusion in his eyes vanished, replaced by spear intent and confidence.

His body also underwent some changes. He grew a little taller, his skin became fairer, and his features became much more striking.

[Trait selection complete. Time will no longer stop during the next trait selection!]

Only after the traits had been selected did time begin flowing again.

"Little friend?"

A very obvious look of confusion appeared on Su Yuntao's face. He felt that something had changed about the child before him, yet he truly could not tell what it was.

After time resumed, Tang San gave Yun Tian another glance before turning to leave. So what if he had Innate Full Soul Power? Tang San had it too, and he even possessed two Martial Souls!

"Little friend, are you willing to join Spirit Hall? With your talent, entering Spirit Hall Academy in the future is only a matter of time. You may even have a chance to rise in rank and receive a title!"

"No, Uncle. I have other plans. For now, I should attend a junior academy first."

Su Yuntao immediately revealed a disappointed expression upon hearing that, but he said nothing further. He merely told Yun Tian to find him at the Spirit Hall branch in Notting City if he changed his mind, then packed up and left.

"Lord Soul Master, how did it go? Does our village have any children who can cultivate this year?"

"There are two with Innate Full Soul Power. One has Blue Silver Grass, while the other has a mutated spear."

"Oh, and the one who awakened the mutated spear seems to be your grandson, right? If you get the chance, please try to persuade him to study at our Spirit Hall. This is where his future will not be buried."

After patting Old Jack on the shoulder, Su Yuntao boarded his carriage and left Saint Soul Village.

"Grandpa!"

"Little Tian, how did it go? I heard from that Lord Soul Master that you have Innate Full Soul Power and a spear Martial Soul. Perfect! The neighboring village has no children who can cultivate this year, so this old man can get another work-study student slot. You and Tang San can go to school together!"

Old Jack patted Yun Tian's head, his smile filled with kindness and gratification. Although Yun Tian had been picked up by him, Old Jack treated Yun Tian as though he were his own grandson.

Yun Tian nodded. He was no longer interested in how Tang San would develop. He now had a system, a heaven-defying Martial Soul like the Sky-Piercing Spear, and could even alter traits. Tang San was nothing more than a minor nobody.

At that moment, Yun Tian suddenly looked at Old Jack.

The latter's traits immediately appeared before his eyes.

[Blue · Longevity], [Blue · Future Chief of God Soul Village], [Blue · Diligent Foundation]

[Blue · Longevity: This person has a relatively long lifespan among ordinary people.]

[Blue · Future Chief of God Soul Village: Someone from his village will become a god. Perhaps he may have a chance to be brought to the Divine Realm?]

[Blue · Diligent Foundation: Hardworking and sincere, unlikely to suffer great calamities.]

Looking at those traits, Yun Tian nodded to himself. He had planned to delete Old Jack's negative traits, but after looking through them all, there was nothing that needed changing.

"Alright, let's go home first. In a few days, Grandpa will take you two to register at Notting Academy."

After returning home, Yun Tian did not eat right away. Instead, he walked over to the water bucket and looked at his current appearance. The sharp contours of his face had emerged early; his eyes were long and keen, his nose straight and crisp, and his skin clean and fair.

Yun Tian then activated Destiny's Eye again, and his own traits appeared as well.

[Rainbow · Fate-Changer], [Rainbow · Sky-Supporting Dao Seed], [Rainbow · Sky-Piercing Legacy], [Gold · Gunslinger's Heart-Painting], [Purple · Destiny's Eye], [Blue · Heavenly Spear-Bone Physique].

[Rainbow · Fate-Changer: You are a visitor from another world. Your spiritual power is far stronger than that of the natives, and every action you take may trigger a butterfly effect.]

[Rainbow · Sky-Piercing Legacy: Your Martial Soul is the Sky-Piercing Spear. Blessed by it, you possess Innate Full Soul Power, and your path of martial cultivation will be exceptionally smooth.]

He actually came with two rainbow traits of his own. It seemed that was the blessing of being a transmigrator. Yun Tian then closed the panel, intending to rest properly over the next few days and inspect Tang San's traits once they arrived at Notting Academy.

It had to be said that this system's traits were extremely convenient. He did not need to touch someone; as long as his gaze landed on them, he could inspect and modify their traits.

Nearly three months passed.

Early one morning, Old Jack, Yun Tian, and Tang San boarded a carriage and prepared to head for Notting City.

Notting City was not far from Saint Soul Village. They arrived smoothly after roughly one or two hours.

After getting off the carriage, Old Jack checked the certificate issued by Spirit Hall once more. Only after confirming there were no problems did he lead Yun Tian and Tang San toward the entrance of Notting Academy.

"Stop! What are you here for?"

"Two young brothers, we're here to register."
