"Healing Staff! A very decent Healing System Martial Soul!"

The Spirit Pagoda Master's words left the boy deeply disappointed.

Seeing the disappointment on the boy's face, the Spirit Pagoda Master could not help but comfort this quiet, sensible child.

"Don't lose heart, child. I understand that boys your age all hope to awaken a powerful Martial Soul and become powerful battle Soul Masters.

"But don't be discouraged. Even though you awakened a Healing System Martial Soul, you can still become a respected Soul Master."

Hearing the Spirit Pagoda Master's words, the boy merely nodded, inwardly giving a hollow laugh.

My Innate Soul Power is rank nine, which is already not low among Healing System Soul Masters. The Martial Soul's quality is just somewhat ordinary, but as long as I cultivate diligently, becoming a respected Healing System Soul Saint won't be a problem. Even Spirit Douluo isn't entirely impossible.

As for becoming a Title Douluo, he had no confidence in that. Without cheats, he truly did not think that a commoner prodigy like himself could become a Healing System Title Douluo.

After all, Healing System Martial Souls were famous for being difficult to cultivate and slow to advance.

Over the nearly thirty thousand years of Douluo Continent's history, Healing System Title Douluos had always been the rarest kind of Soul Master.

Healing System Super Douluos were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, while no Limit Douluo of that type had ever appeared.

Even the ninety-eighth-rank Holy Spirit Douluo of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion, known as "the Healing System Soul Master most likely to break through to rank ninety-nine and become a Limit Douluo," had been stuck at that final step for decades without making the slightest progress.

With his little bit of talent, how could he compare to someone like that?

Besides, it was not as though he had no chance at all. He had a cheat, after all.

And because Healing System Soul Masters generally found cultivation difficult, outstanding Healing System Soul Masters held far higher status than other types of Soul Masters at the same rank.

A Healing System Soul Saint could be considered a pillar even in top forces like the Spirit Pagoda and War God Hall.

Fine, Healing System it is. As long as I keep a low profile in the future, surviving until the finale shouldn't be difficult.

Outside the door, "Tianran, how did it go?" The moment he stepped out, a couple hurried over to Liu Tianran and asked.

To keep his parents from worrying, Liu Tianran had no choice but to put on a delighted expression.

"I awakened Mom's Martial Soul, and my Innate Soul Power is pretty good too. It's rank nine!"

"Good! As expected of my son. As long as you cultivate seriously in the future, maybe our Liu family will produce a Title Douluo someday."

The couple was both quite satisfied with the result, and the family happily returned home to prepare for a celebration.

Once the celebration was over, the boy returned to his room.

The boy was named Liu Tianran. He was a transmigrator who had been accidentally struck into this world called Douluo Continent by the Truck Emperor.

His family circumstances in this life were fairly good. Both parents were alive and well. His father was a mid-to-low-ranking officer in the logistics department of the Skysea Legion, while his mother served as vice president of Tianhai First Hospital.

His parents both had decent talent among ordinary people. In their thirties, they had both reached the five-ring Spirit King level and held a modest degree of status in Skysea City. It was a pretty good start, better than that of most transmigrators.

Although he had been mentally prepared before the awakening, he could not help feeling disappointed when his awakened Martial Soul truly turned out to be his mother's.

Being a Healing System Soul Master like his mother was not bad, but he had still wanted to awaken his father's Martial Soul and become a powerful battle Soul Master. Now, though, that dream seemed destined to fall through.

After all, if this were truly an era of peace, perhaps he really could rely on his talent to live out his life steadily. But this was the third Douluo era, the settlement phase of a certain Tang's "ten-thousand-year grand plan."

Based on the time period Liu Tianran knew, the Forging Masters Association had announced this year that President Zhenhua, a thirty-five-year-old Eight-Star Saint Craftsman, was preparing to challenge Heavenly Refinement and was expected to become the only Nine-Star Divine Craftsman of the era. The news had immediately drawn the attention of all three continents.

By this timeline, Zhenhua would become a Divine Craftsman two years later, at the age of thirty-seven. That same year, Tang Wulin would awaken his Martial Soul, and the story would begin.

Liu Tianran was several years older than Tang Wulin.

But just over a decade later, Shrek would be bombed, Abyssal creatures would launch a massive invasion, Soul Beasts would rise again, and one major event after another would unfold.

Every kind of monster would emerge to play a part on this grand stage. Even in this relatively calm period, Evil Soul Masters would occasionally appear out of nowhere to take lives.

As the saying went, "The third Douluo stage is open! Come if you've got the life for it!!!"

"You love me! I love you! Let's all risk our lives together!"

Heroes and villains alike would go mad. Whether one could survive to the end depended entirely on whether one's life was tough enough.

And as a Healing System Soul Master, even if he became a Limit Douluo, he would still only be a healer. It would be difficult for him to possess enough ability to protect himself in this era and ensure that he survived until the finale.

With rank-nine Innate Soul Power and a Healing System Martial Soul that was not particularly exceptional, if combat strength were concerned, he was probably one of the weakest among the army of transmigrators.

My old man clearly has a fairly powerful sword Martial Soul. As a transmigrator, even if I awakened a Healing System Martial Soul, following the usual tropes, it should have been a mutated healing Martial Soul with immense combat power.

At that moment, Liu Tianran felt that heaven had played an enormous joke on him.

Now it depends on whether this Sea of Consciousness Space I brought with me through transmigration can give me some surprises.

The Sea of Consciousness Space in Liu Tianran's mind was precisely his transmigrator "cheat." It was a space resembling a large laboratory, but it had remained inaccessible all these years and had never shown any special function. It could only store a few items.

However, Liu Tianran had now awakened his Martial Soul and obtained Soul Power, meeting the conditions for its activation. It could finally serve its purpose.

Liu Tianran entered the Sea of Consciousness Space and came before a large energy storage tank. The functions of the entire space gradually surfaced in his mind.

After sorting through the information, Liu Tianran discovered that this space was somewhat similar to the Golden Horned Beast's clone talent in Swallowed Star. It could use a small amount of a creature's flesh and blood to create a clone of it.

But compared to that, its functions were more diverse. While nurturing a clone, it could also obtain part of the original owner's knowledge, memories, cultivation, and even Spirit Soul based on the amount of flesh acquired and how long the owner had been dead.

Furthermore, during the nurturing process, it could incorporate the talents and bloodline of another body's flesh and blood, making the clone more perfect and its talent even more outstanding.

Naturally, the fresher the material, the better the effect.

As for the three large energy storage tanks beside it, they could passively collect scattered Soul Power, spiritual power, life force, and vitality from the outside world. They could also be actively used to collect the Soul Power, spiritual power, and life force of a particular creature's corpse or living body.

After purification, these could further strengthen the main body or clones without side effects in a short period of time.

This space truly lives up to being a transmigrator's cheat. With it, I can create an army of powerful experts I can trust completely.

Liu Tianran could not help thinking that his clones could infiltrate the upper ranks of every major faction in the future. When the age eventually spiraled out of control and the great calamity descended—

By then, his clones would surely have grown into outstanding geniuses who stood above the masses, bringing the powerful figures of this world a shock born of genius.

What kind of scene would that be? And how could that not count as another golden age?

Then it's time to begin making my first clone. But how should I obtain the initial energy and the initial target's flesh and blood?

Suddenly, he thought of a good place.

Tianhai First Hospital.
