Martial Soul Treasure-Dropping Coin

"Damn system, I'm going to kill you!"

Three-year-old Zhao Ming didn't know how many times he had cursed the system that brought him here.

At this moment, the village where he lived was being slaughtered by two fallen spirit masters, their bodies shrouded in blood-red malevolence and reeking of a thick, fishy stench.

Zhao Ming watched helplessly as his parents in this life and the villagers he saw every day fell into pools of blood one by one. He could only hide in a corner, trembling, unable to do anything—even praying that these two fallen spirit masters wouldn't discover him.

Just as Zhao Ming fell into despair, a four-man squad descended from the sky.

They were all angel spirit masters. Working in perfect coordination, the four spirit ancestors slaughtered the two fallen spirit kings before them.

Afterward, the angel spirit masters searched the village and found only two surviving children, including Zhao Ming. They helped bury the villagers' bodies and then sent the two children to an orphanage in a nearby city.

Three years later, at the Spirit Hall in Vast Sea City, a group of little kids was lining up to awaken their martial souls, and Zhao Ming was among them.

Most of the children in line wore expressions of anxiety, but Zhao Ming was very calm, because he had long known what his martial soul was.

This started with the fact that Zhao Ming was a transmigrator.

Zhao Ming was not from this world; he was a traveler from Blue Star. In his previous life, he had been selected by the system for his heroic act of saving a drowning child, which brought him away from Blue Star.

The moment he was born in this life, he heard the system's prompt: [Ding~ Congratulations to the host for binding with this system. This system is named the Path to Sainthood System. It has now brought the host to the Primordial World. Under the assistance of this system, the host will...]

The system stopped halfway through its sentence, followed by frantic warnings and error reports.

[Ding~ Due to a coordinate calculation error, the host has arrived in the Douluo Continent world. The power system of this world is too low, requiring no assistance from this system. The system has left a gift package for the host. Have a pleasant time.]

After saying this, the damn system ran away, leaving behind only a so-called gift package.

Zhao Ming cursed the system in his heart before choosing to open the package.

There were five items in the package: a Treasure-Dropping Coin (replica), a portable mustard-seed space capable of storing living things, the "Nine-Breath Qi Absorption" from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Great Divine Abilities, and two lucky draw wheels he could use after his martial soul awakened.

After the package was opened, the Treasure-Dropping Coin automatically transformed into Zhao Ming's martial soul, while the mustard-seed space flew into the center of his brow, merging into his spiritual sea. The newborn Zhao Ming had thus opened his own spiritual sea.

As for the "Nine-Breath Qi Absorption," it was branded directly into Zhao Ming's soul.

"Nine-Breath Qi Absorption" was the only breathing and qi-refining method among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Great Divine Abilities. One round consisted of nine complete breaths, allowing the practitioner to absorb the pure qi of heaven and earth, expel turbid qi from the body, and subtly undergo a complete transformation.

It took Zhao Ming three years after transmigrating to master the basics of "Nine-Breath Qi Absorption," and that was only because the divine ability was branded directly into his soul, effectively allowing it to run on its own and guide him.

But before he could even be happy, he encountered the fallen spirit masters. His parents and fellow villagers were all slaughtered by the evil spirit masters. If he hadn't encountered the Spirit Hall's angel legion, he likely wouldn't have escaped the same fate.

After being sent to the orphanage, Zhao Ming practiced "Nine-Breath Qi Absorption" day and night, because he had set a small goal for himself: to kill every fallen spirit master in the world.

During his practice, Zhao Ming discovered that besides the Treasure-Dropping Coin, he had another martial soul in his body. This martial soul was a wooden stick, exactly the same as his father's martial soul in this life.

In other words, if Zhao Ming hadn't had the Treasure-Dropping Coin from the system, this wooden stick would have been his martial soul.

As "Nine-Breath Qi Absorption" circulated, Zhao Ming was surprised to find that his wooden stick martial soul seemed to be slowly evolving.

Three years passed just like that. Under the transformation of "Nine-Breath Qi Absorption," Zhao Ming's wooden stick martial soul underwent a complete change, evolving from a common wooden stick into a wooden whip, then into an iron whip, and now, it had become a steel whip.

Three evolutions in three years, and that was while it was still in an unawakened state. One could only say that "Nine-Breath Qi Absorption" was terrifyingly powerful.

Now that the time for martial soul awakening had arrived, Zhao Ming was certain he would awaken twin martial souls: the Treasure-Dropping Coin and the steel whip.

Even as a replica, the Treasure-Dropping Coin would definitely grant him the talent of innate full spirit power.

Moreover, even without the Treasure-Dropping Coin, the "Nine-Breath Qi Absorption" he had practiced for three years had evolved the wooden stick into a steel whip; the current steel whip was at worst a high-grade martial soul, and his innate spirit power wouldn't be low either.

As for innate level 20 spirit power, that was a blessing from the gods of this world, which seemed unlikely.

The line moved forward bit by bit, and soon it was Zhao Ming's turn.

Zhao Ming stood in the center of the six-pointed star array. The deacon in charge of the awakening was a possessor of a water snake martial soul, with two yellow spirit rings at his feet. He stretched out a scaly hand, placed it in front of Zhao Ming, and while releasing his spirit power, said, "Carefully feel the changes within your body!"

As the golden light from the awakening stone surged into his body, Zhao Ming felt as if he were soaking in hot water. His whole body felt warm, and a heat flow appeared within him, circulating through his entire body before finally gathering in his right hand.

"Extend your right hand," the water snake spirit deacon said.

Zhao Ming obeyed, raising his right hand while clenching his left.

In Zhao Ming's right hand appeared a steel whip, pitch-black all over and about three feet long.

At first glance, the steel whip looked unremarkable, but it was actually extremely heavy. Zhao Ming could feel that the whip weighed about three hundred jin.

If he remembered correctly, the Clear Sky Hammer weighed 500 jin before adding any spirit rings, and the Clear Sky Hammer was a top-tier tool martial soul, known as the number one tool martial soul in the world.

For his steel whip to have this weight initially, it was likely quite impressive among high-grade martial souls.

"Is this martial soul a mace? That's rare!" the water snake spirit deacon said, looking at Zhao Ming's martial soul.

"Deacon, my martial soul is not a mace; it's a steel whip," Zhao Ming said.

"A steel whip? Oh! Right, this martial soul does look more like an iron whip. I remember there's a spirit master at the main Spirit Hall in Fasno whose martial soul is an iron whip, and his innate spirit power is level 5! Little one, come and test your spirit power."

As he spoke, the water snake spirit deacon handed a crystal to Zhao Ming. Zhao Ming placed his hand on the crystal, and a suction force came from it; the crystal ball was instantly filled with a deep blue light.

The water snake spirit deacon couldn't help but exclaim, "My god! Innate full spirit power, it's actually innate full spirit power!"

Such a commotion naturally alerted the bishop of the Vast Sea City Spirit Hall, and the middle-aged man, who looked to be about 40, walked quickly down from upstairs.
