Birthplace Sign-in—Mature Beauty Irene!
"Hongjun, your Martial Soul awakening day is in a week. Don't forget it," an aged voice called out.
"Got it, Grandpa Sith," Ma Hongjun immediately replied.
Hearing the boy's affirmative answer, Sith nodded in satisfaction. "Hongjun, don't be nervous when the time comes. Oh, and come to my house for dinner tonight. I still need to notify the others, so I'll be leaving first."
Sith did not linger and left directly, giving Ma Hongjun no chance to speak.
Sith's full name was Ma Xisi, and he was the village chief. He usually took good care of him.
He had left so quickly because he was afraid Ma Hongjun would refuse.
Ma Hongjun had no relatives. If not for the small inheritance his parents in this life had left him, he would probably have starved to death long ago.
His parents had died two years ago, when bandits had raided the village.
Fortunately, the villagers were simple and kind, and they had all helped him out. Otherwise, the past two years would have been very difficult for him.
So it was time to awaken his Martial Soul?
To be honest, Ma Hongjun felt rather uneasy.
As mentioned before, if his Martial Soul did not mutate, or if it did awaken but his Evil Fire erupted—
And Flender did not come.
Ma Hongjun did not dare imagine such a situation.
He was only six years old! If his Evil Fire erupted, whether it could be resolved or not, it would be something incredibly hard to accept.
So he was truly hesitant at this moment.
Should he entrust his life to fate? It was a difficult decision.
"Ah! If only I had a system," Ma Hongjun sighed.
Which transmigrator did not have a system by their side? Or at least start out with some old grandpa? Why did he have nothing at all?
Thinking of this, Ma Hongjun felt a little miserable.
But becoming Ma Hongjun itself seemed to be a cheat.
Host is about to awaken his Martial Soul. Binding Sign-in System.
Ma Hongjun froze, then revealed an ecstatic expression.
Heaven had ultimately favored him after all.
It seemed that, like most transmigrators, the system required certain conditions before it could be activated.
For example, in his case, it was probably because he had reached the point of awakening his Martial Soul.
And a Sign-in System could be considered one of the best systems of all.
As long as he signed in, he could obtain rewards without any effort.
It was simply the perfect system for a transmigrator!
System binding in progress: 70%, 80%, 90%, 99%.
Ma Hongjun grew increasingly excited.
But in the next moment, he realized something was wrong.
The progress bar had stopped moving.
Ma Hongjun instantly panicked. What was going on? He had been counting on the system to rise to the pinnacle and bring warmth to all the lovely ladies in this world, so why had it stopped?
"System, what's going on?" Ma Jun hurriedly asked.
"An issue occurred during system loading. It has been affected by an unknown force and is currently being repaired. Please wait patiently, Host," the system's voice answered.
Ma Jun was extremely anxious, but there seemed to be nothing he could do. Fortunately, after a quarter of an hour had passed—
System: "The unknown issue has been repaired. Sign-in System loading is complete. A new sign-in location has refreshed. Please sign in at Ma Family Village. It has been detected that Host has already arrived at the sign-in location, Ma Family Village. Would you like to sign in now?"
Ma Hongjun was overjoyed when he heard that.
As long as it was repaired, there was no problem. And Ma Family Village, as the system had called it, was the village where he lived.
"Sign in," Ma Hongjun said directly.
System: "Congratulations, Host, on successfully signing in. You have obtained the Acnologia Martial Soul, Scarlet Despair—Irene's remnant soul, one thousand-year Earth Dragon Soul Ring, one spatial ring, and one thousand Gold Soul Coins. The rewards have been issued and stored in System Space. Please inspect them yourself."
Ma Hongjun was stunned when he heard those rewards.
The Acnologia Martial Soul?
Irene's remnant soul?
A thousand-year Earth Dragon Soul Ring?
A spatial ring?
Compared to the first four, one thousand Gold Soul Coins were nothing at all.
And compared to the first two, the latter two were nothing either.
Thinking of the first two rewards, an image appeared in Ma Hongjun's mind.
Black wings covered in strange markings, a man who bathed in dragon blood and transformed himself, becoming a dragon in order to slay dragons.
That was Acnologia, known as the Dragon of the End, the source of all evil, an absolute pinnacle character in Fairy Tail.
A being capable of devouring even time and space, powerful to an absurd degree.
Even in the end, the magic power of the entire continent had only managed to seal his body. It could not destroy him at all.
As for his soul, that had merely been plot-induced death.
Although Ma Hongjun did not know who would be stronger between him and the gods of this world.
Existences like Limit Douluo were simply not worth mentioning before Acnologia.
They might not even be able to break through his defenses.
Spacetime Turbulence could sweep away the God Realm, but the Black Dragon was an existence capable of devouring time and space.
Though it might not have been the same level of Spacetime Turbulence, it still demonstrated the Black Dragon's strength.
He had never expected to obtain Acnologia as his Martial Soul.
Ma Hongjun was truly excited.
But what excited him most was Irene's remnant soul.
Irene—Scarlet Despair, the Scarlet Heavenly Maiden.
She was one of Ma Hongjun's favorite villainous characters.
Powerful, tsundere, scheming, and most importantly, she had the face of an angel, the body of a devil, and a fondness for being sadistic.
In short, mature beauties were the best!
"Ahhh!" Ma Jun cried out directly.
"Hongjun, are you alright?" A concerned voice came from the neighbor next door.
Ma Hongjun's cry came to an abrupt halt.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he said, "Uncle Hei, I'm fine."
"It's good that you're fine, but if you're fine, why the hell were you shouting?" the middle-aged man's voice rang out again.
"No..." Ma Hongjun was at a loss for words.
"Forget it. It's good as long as you're fine. Come over for dinner tonight," Uncle Hei said.
Warmth filled Ma Hongjun's heart.
"No, Uncle Hei. Grandpa Sith already invited me," Ma Hongjun said.
"Oh, the village chief? Then forget it. I'm heading out," Uncle Hei said again.
"Mm," Ma Hongjun answered.
Soon afterward, he heard the sound of the gate in the neighboring courtyard closing.
Only then did Ma Hongjun gradually calm down.
But when he thought of the rewards from this sign-in—
He still could not suppress his excitement.
Yet he soon recalled the system's explanation.
Irene's remnant soul?
So he directly asked, "System, what does remnant soul mean?"
System: "The system collected Irene before her soul dissipated, so she is in a remnant soul state. She is currently dormant."
Ma Hongjun was immediately somewhat disappointed.
It seemed his hope of meeting Irene right away had fallen through.
That also completely sobered Ma Hongjun up.
So he asked again, "What is the system's sign-in mechanism?"
System: "The system's sign-in mechanism consists of five types: Weekly Sign-in, Monthly Sign-in, Yearly Sign-in, Ten-Year Sign-in, and Location Sign-in. The longer the interval, the more generous the sign-in rewards. Location Sign-in rewards are random, but they are most likely related to the sign-in location."
Ma Hongjun immediately beamed with delight.
But before he could celebrate, the system reminded him again: "Due to an accident during binding, Weekly Sign-in is currently unavailable. Additionally, Host is reminded that the Martial Soul light sphere must be used within one shichen after signing in, or it will disappear."
The contract was signed today! Everyone can read without worry. After the status change, there will be two updates a day!
