Reborn Anew

"It's the Glint-Glint Fruit! It's the Glint-Glint Fruit!"

As a transmigrator, Su Sanjia knew this Devil Fruit from the anime world extremely well. In the silent night, his heartbeat was exceptionally clear. How could he not be excited? The Logia Glint-Glint Fruit came from the magnificent world of One Piece. It was the ability of Borsalino, one of the Navy's three admirals. The powers this fruit could grant its host were absolutely disaster-level! Even now that he was in the world of Douluo Continent, its abilities definitely would not disappoint!

Just Elementalization alone granted absolute immunity to physical attacks. Other than Haki, elemental counters, and seawater, Logia Devil Fruits were invincible!

"A Devil Fruit in the world of Douluo Continent... I wonder what kind of power it'll give me..."

Su Sanjia spoke softly. This Devil Fruit might be the greatest cheat he had gained from transmigrating into Douluo Continent. It did not matter even if its user became a landlubber abandoned by the sea. His talent was too poor. His Radiant Light, with only Innate Soul Power rank three, could only make him an ordinary person. But this Devil Fruit was enough to bring about earth-shaking changes!

Crunch, crunch...

In the pitch-black night, Su Sanjia swallowed the Glint-Glint Fruit bite by bite. The taste in his mouth was indescribable, like a huge block of cheese expired for a hundred years mixed with fermented stinky socks, coated in the juices of canned herring, blended with rotten animal innards, then soaked for three years in some thick, unidentified liquid settled at the bottom of a sewer. It exploded in his mouth like a bomb.

Su Sanjia's face turned green, and he stretched his neck as far as he could, forcibly swallowing the last mouthful of fruit flesh. Then, an incomparably massive medicinal force erupted from his dantian. It was immensely tyrannical, forcefully breaking open his meridians. In other words, the Glint-Glint Fruit was continuously raising his talent. The medicinal force nearly burst his body apart, and Su Sanjia could not help letting out a low roar.

He hurried outside. If others witnessed something as heaven-defying as changing one's fate, the consequences would be unimaginable. Drawing on his familiarity with the orphanage, Su Sanjia came to a warehouse that had been abandoned for a long time. The instant he shut the door, he sat cross-legged and sensed the restless Soul Power within his body. He began absorbing it on his own initiative. His consciousness sank into darkness, but his body began to emit a blinding golden light!

The night passed without incident...

The next morning.

Su Sanjia opened his eyes and let out a long breath. As he moved his somewhat stiff body, crackling sounds like popping beans came from within him. It had only been one night, yet the current Su Sanjia had truly been reborn anew!

Innate Soul Power rank three?

That was indeed true, but the Soul Power fluctuations radiating from Su Sanjia now had clearly reached the peak of the Soul Scholar level—Soul Power rank ten!

In just one night, his Soul Power had surged by seven ranks! More than that, the meridians within his body had been greatly improved. The strange sensation coming from his body left even Su Sanjia somewhat dazed. Though he did not know how strong a Soul Master's body was supposed to be, he dared say with certainty that his current physique absolutely would not be inferior to that of an ordinary rank-twenty Soul Grandmaster!

Su Sanjia could also sense that the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit within his body had not been completely absorbed. Most of its medicinal force had been used to improve his body, a portion had raised his cultivation, and the rest would probably only reveal itself after he obtained a Soul Ring.

"Did the Glint-Glint Fruit change as well because it came to the world of Douluo Continent?"

Su Sanjia muttered as he summoned his Martial Soul. Martial Souls like Radiant Light were extremely rare, but there were still some records of them. An ordinary Radiant Light Martial Soul manifested as nothing more than a cluster of golden light, but what about his now?

The light in Su Sanjia's palm was practically like the sun! As his Martial Soul possessed him, his body also began radiating golden light, dazzling to the extreme.

"The Glint-Glint Fruit... what an incredible power!"

The excitement in Su Sanjia's eyes was impossible to hide. From this day onward, his starting point was the same as those geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power! As for the other benefits brought by the Glint-Glint Fruit, he would need to slowly uncover them in the future. But judging from how the Shrek Seven Monsters had been reborn after consuming Immortal Herbs in the original story, the Glint-Glint Fruit was countless times stronger than those so-called Immortal Herbs!

"The Glint-Glint Fruit seems to have awakened my Radiant Light Martial Soul... probably. In any case, that excuse should pass in this land! This monstrous physique is enough to let me withstand Soul Rings of greater age! And most importantly..."

Su Sanjia glanced around, picked up a palm-sized stone from the ground, weighed it in his hand, then clenched it tightly and viciously smashed it toward his own head!

It was utter madness.

Yet in the next instant, Su Sanjia's arm passed through his own head without the slightest obstruction! His body seemed to have transformed into light, completely negating the attack.

Elementalization!

The most broken ability of Logia Devil Fruits!

"It really is Elementalization!"

Su Sanjia was overjoyed! He already had a plan for how to use the Glint-Glint Fruit. After all, he only needed to copy Borsalino's methods. And this Elementalization would become his most powerful trump card!

"It just consumes a bit too much Soul Power. A single Elementalization used up a tenth of my Soul Power... but that's nothing. As long as my cultivation rises in the future, wouldn't I really be able to go through a fierce battle with nothing more than a slightly dirty hem?"

The road ahead had suddenly broadened countless times, and Su Sanjia's mentality gradually changed as well. In one life, he had remained obscure. In this life, he had started with a terrible hand. Yet a single Devil Fruit had changed the course of his life, granting him talent beyond anyone's comparison. In that case, an ideal called freedom was no longer enough!

It did not match his ambitions!

A blueprint for the future gradually took shape in Su Sanjia's mind. Grinning foolishly, he left the gloomy warehouse. Completely unlike his depressed mood yesterday, he now felt incomparably relaxed. He happily spent another day at the orphanage, though his heart had already flown into the outside world.

After leaving behind a letter, Su Sanjia packed up his few clothes and silently departed before the sun rose. The moment he stepped out of the orphanage, he seemed to realize something and abruptly turned around.

The light in the dean's office was on.

A clear silhouette stood by the window, seemingly waving at him.

Su Sanjia smiled brightly and waved back. Leaving behind the place where he had lived for six years, he officially stepped into the world of Soul Masters!

Two days later.

The outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Two Ghost Wolves covered in blood fled in terror, occasionally looking back as though some great horror were pursuing them.

"Oh? As expected of Soul Beasts. Even if they're only ten-year Soul Beasts, they can still run so far in one breath... Honestly, they're like monsters. So scary!"

A voice full of mockery came from ahead of the two Nether Wolves. The two Nether Wolves, each around eighty or ninety years old, braked sharply and nearly sent themselves flying. Before them stood a child in coarse cloth, only about 1.3 meters tall, smiling at them. The child's features were above average, but his yellow eyes were especially striking.

They resembled the purest light element found in nature!

The two Nether Wolves let out warning growls, yet their bodies trembled uncontrollably. They had originally thought they had encountered a tender human cub and that their pack could enjoy a fine feast. Who would have expected the pounce of the pack's best hunter to have no effect at all? Instead, it was kicked away by that child. Then the child transformed into a god of slaughter, repeatedly flashing with golden light before firing one highly penetrating Laser Beam after another at them!

Of the pack of more than twenty Nether Wolves, only the two of them remained.

Buzz!

Light flickered at the child's fingertips. Other than Su Sanjia, probably no one at the Soul Scholar stage possessed such a bizarre attack method.

The Laser Beam effortlessly pierced through one Nether Wolf's skull. It whimpered and fell to the ground, never moving again. A faintly yellow ten-year Soul Ring floated in the air.

The remaining Nether Wolf erupted with desperate resolve under its extreme terror. It lunged with all its strength, but to its despair, its body passed through Su Sanjia once more. Its attack had no effect whatsoever!

And so, another ten-year Soul Ring appeared.

Looking at the two wolf corpses on the ground, Su Sanjia could not help smiling.

In the manga version, a pack of Nether Wolves had once caused trouble for a Grandmaster with twenty-nine ranks of Soul Power. Yet when these Nether Wolves encountered Su Sanjia, who was not even a Soul Master, they suffered a slaughter without any power to resist!

However, these Soul Rings were useless to Su Sanjia. As a transmigrator, his first Soul Ring had to be at least a hundred-year one, right?

Four hundred and twenty-three years—the theoretical limit for a first Soul Ring. But in Su Sanjia's eyes, that age was still a little too low.

Furthermore, Nether Wolves provided no benefit to his Martial Soul. The best choice for his Soul Ring would naturally be a Soul Beast with a Light Bloodline, followed by a speed-type Soul Beast.

Don't ask why. "Speed is power"!

As for whether his attack power might be somewhat lacking... take it up with my Light-Speed Kick!

Just as Su Sanjia was thinking, a furious roar suddenly erupted from the distant forest!

Within that roar, he could faintly sense a trace of light power.

Su Sanjia's eyes lit up.
