A Blessed Buddha Statue?

"Isn't entanglement a plant's instinct? Is Blue Silver Entanglement even worthy of being called a spirit skill?"

"What a waste of a spirit ring slot! In my opinion, plant-type spirits should absorb plant-type spirit rings, so that the spirit can absorb the traits of plant-type spirit beasts and achieve its own evolution, instead of looking for some Datura Snake and getting a useless spirit skill like this. What a bullshit master, he's simply misleading students!"

Early in the morning, a handsome young man slurped his noodles while browsing a novel on his phone. When he reached a certain paragraph, he instantly lost his cool, his twenty-six-key pinyin input method tapping rapidly as he started his daily venting mode.

"Lin Yan, hurry up and eat. Today is your first day of internship, don't be late on day one." A woman's voice came from the kitchen.

"Mom, I know, I'm heading out right now, I definitely won't be late."

The young man named Lin Yan stood up, casually closed the novel reading page, picked up the handbag beside him, and prepared to leave. Just then, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron walked quickly out of the kitchen.

"Wait, this is a Buddha statue your mother went to the temple to pray for you yesterday. This is a Buddha statue blessed by a master, it's a treasure. Wear it on your body to keep you safe."

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman hung a small golden Buddha statue around Lin Yan's neck.

Lin Yan didn't believe in Buddhism, so he naturally felt nothing about this Buddha statue. However, out of consideration for his mother's good intentions, he honestly put on the Buddha statue.

"Mom, I'm off then!"

While speaking, Lin Yan had already pushed the door open and walked out.

Today was his first day of work, so naturally he didn't want to be late either.

When he followed the commuting route he had planned out the day before and went to the bus station to catch a ride to the subway station, a large truck on the side of the road suddenly lost control and charged straight toward the bus stop.

By the time Lin Yan noticed the out-of-control truck, the front of the vehicle was less than ten meters away from him!

For an out-of-control truck, such a distance was merely a matter of an instant.

At the very last moment of his life, Lin Yan thought of the Buddha statue around his neck.

Weren't things supposed to be blessed and able to keep people safe?

***********!

Clearwater Village was named because there was a ten-meter-wide small river beside the village.

The entire village had fifty households, totaling two hundred people of all ages, men and women, who made their living by farming and hunting.

Located in a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, a faint candlelight flickered slightly as a child of about five or six years old suddenly woke up from a dream.

"I had a nightmare again!" Lin Yan rubbed his head.

He had experienced this nightmare countless times over the six years since his rebirth, concerning how he had suddenly died a violent death in his previous life. Every time he had it, in his mind he cursed that Buddha statue all over again, calling it whatever bullshit blessing that was.

That blessing was probably eight parts evil light, otherwise how could he have been so unlucky the moment he put on this Buddha statue?

That's right, he had been reborn. Reborn with his memories, he had come to the world where Douluo Continent was located.

Although it sounded incredible, this was indeed true. Over the past six years, through various channels and repeated verification, he finally confirmed that this was indeed the Douluo Continent, a place possessed of spirits and spirit masters.

It was just that to this day, he still didn't know which time period the Douluo Continent he was in belonged to.

The only thing he could be sure of was that in this time period, Spirit Hall had already perished.

If Spirit Hall still existed, a batch of spirit masters under Spirit Hall's command would travel across the continent every year, coming to one village after another to help ordinary civilians awaken their spirits.

Yet such people were ones Lin Yan had never seen here in all these years.

If this world truly was the Douluo Continent he knew from the novel, then at this time Spirit Hall was most likely finished, destroyed at the hands of the ice-clean and jade-pure Tang San.

Early the next morning, after waking up from his sleep, Lin Yan was immediately called up by his mother to eat.

This was an exquisitely beautiful young woman, one who could even be described with the four characters "stunning the country and city."

Although she dressed plainly, it didn't affect her innate beauty in the least.

And Lin Yan had also inherited this outstanding advantage from his mother, looking rather handsome and thoroughly like a little cute boy. If placed in his past life, he felt that with this face he could directly debut as a child star.

His mother in this life was named "Lin Yueyao", and he took his mother's surname.

As for why he didn't take his father's surname, he wasn't particularly clear either.

Because he had never seen his father.

Ever since he could remember, there was only one relative by his side, which was his mother. He had also asked his mother various things about his father, but she never breathed a word about it, so even though he was six years old, Lin Yan still didn't know the slightest bit of information regarding his father.

While they were eating, three children accompanied by their parents visited his home, carrying gifts in their hands.

However, they weren't any precious gifts, merely some chicken, duck, fish, meat, and eggs.

At the head was an elderly man, who was none other than the village chief of Clearwater Village.

Upon seeing him, Lin Yan immediately and politely shouted, "Grandpa Village Chief!"

"Ah, little Yan is so well-behaved." The village chief's withered palm affectionately patted Lin Yan's head, and then he apologetically said to Lin Yueyao, "Yueyao, today three children in our village have turned six years old and need to awaken their spirits. I'm truly sorry to disturb you so early."

Anyone born on Douluo Continent could participate in the spirit awakening ceremony when they turned six. This was a major event concerning one's entire life, because it directly related to whether you could become a spirit master.

And only by becoming a spirit master could one become a member of the upper crust of Douluo Continent.

Otherwise, one was just an insignificant ant.

Awakening a spirit required a spirit master to take action personally.

As for the village chief bringing several people to Lin Yan's home, it was precisely because Lin Yan's mother was a spirit master!

This matter had to start from when Lin Yan was three years old.

At that time, no one in the village knew that Lin Yueyao was a spirit master. Awakening spirits required spending a great deal of money to go to a nearby major city to find a specialized institution in order to awaken them.

Until that day, a group of bandits charged into the village.

This wasn't an ordinary group of bandits, as there were actually three spirit masters among them—one three-ring Spirit Elder and two one-ring spirit masters.

Once someone became a spirit master, they transcended the vulgar and ordinary, and their combat power was completely incomparable to that of ordinary people.

Facing ordinary people, a three-ring Spirit Elder could easily fight a hundred single-handedly. Consequently, this group of ferocious bandits was simply not something the ordinary civilians of Clearwater Village could resist.

Seeing that they were about to start a massacre, Lin Yueyao, who had always lived in seclusion in the village and kept her abilities hidden, stood up.

She manifested six spirit rings and summoned her spirit—a black, short-handled spiked club. With a single swing, the bandit leader who possessed Spirit Elder cultivation instantly dropped dead on the spot, and in less than a minute, over thirty bandits were all cut down.

Ever since then, the villagers learned of Lin Yueyao's identity as a spirit master.

At first, the villagers still felt a certain amount of awe toward Lin Yueyao. Six spirit rings meant that she was a Spirit Emperor.

Although a Spirit Emperor didn't count for much among the major factions on Douluo Continent, to these ordinary people, that was definitely a high and mighty figure beyond reach.

Even so, Lin Yueyao remained very kind to the villagers.

As time went on, people started asking her for help with spirit awakenings.

"It's fine, come on in!" Lin Yueyao said with a smile.
