Holy Soul Village.

Under a towering tree, a youth had a piece of foxtail grass dangling from his mouth, lazily swinging his overbearing crossed legs.

If anyone else were to see this, they would undoubtedly say to him, "This kid has the makings of a ruffian!"

"System oh system, why aren't you here yet!"

"If you don't come, how am I supposed to beat up Tang San?!"

The youth was named Jiang Chen, originally a freshman at a university on Blue Star. As a result, on the day of school registration, Jiang Chen was sent flying by a runaway truck while crossing the crosswalk, dying on the spot.

After his death, his soul actually traveled through into this anime world he had watched.

To call him unfortunate, he came back to life after death; to call him fortunate, he had been an orphan since childhood, still hadn't awakened his cheat by now, and furthermore had a Tang San who claimed he possessed the way to courting death.

The origin of the matter had to start from a certain morning. Jiang Chen was picking herbs on the back mountain—this was one of Jiang Chen's few living economic sources—only because he saw Tang San sitting cross-legged practicing his arts there one time while going up the mountain to pick herbs, and was mistaken for peeping. Moreover, no matter how he explained it, the other party refused to believe it, and even looked at Jiang Chen coldly, saying, "You possess the way to courting death!"

Jiang Chen sat up and sighed helplessly, "System oh system, why aren't you here!"

Jiang Chen had always believed that his transmigration must have been the handiwork of a system, but for so many years, Jiang Chen hadn't discovered even a trace of a system.

"Damn it~"

"For so many years, I've tried most of the methods in books for acquiring a system, giving you a modicum of face, don't be unappreciative!"

"System!"

Jiang Chen's angry shout only received a long silence.

"Sigh~ Forget it, forget it. What is destined to be in life will eventually be yours; what is not destined in life should not be forcefully sought!"

Jiang Chen sighed helplessly.

"Hey, no!"

"Don't most protagonists obtain systems by jumping off cliffs?"

"Should I give it a try?"

Jiang Chen muttered.

However, not long after, Jiang Chen dismissed this thought. If he jumped off the cliff and still didn't awaken, forfeiting his own dog life, wouldn't that be a terrible loss?

Jiang Chen gave up the idea of activating the system. It seemed that other people's transmigrations were decreed by heaven, while his own transmigration made him a commoner!

A gust of wind blew past, and a dilapidated wooden house covered in green grass emitted a rustling sound, looking at a glance like it was in disrepair for years. He truly feared a slightly larger wind would cause it to collapse.

Jiang Chen stood in front of the wooden house, his heart filled with helplessness, "Old man, hold on... otherwise I really am going to drink the northwest wind."

"Xiao Chen, where did you run off to? Today is the day the Master Su of Wuhun Hall comes to the village to help awaken martial souls!"

Jiang Chen turned around with a trace of doubt, watching Old Jack walk toward him step by step, leaning on a cane and walking with difficulty, then suddenly understanding with a flash of insight.

Damn it, how could he forget about this matter!

Then Jiang Chen followed Old Jack toward the Awakening Hall. A group of people was already waiting in front of the hall, and sounds of complaint drifted over from time to time.

A middle-aged man dressed in luxurious attire stood on the steps, his gaze looking at Jiang Chen and Old Jack.

He was Master Su of Wuhun Hall.

"Village Chief Jack, then let's begin!"

Master Su walked into the grand hall first, with Jiang Chen following inside. Old Jack waited outside. Old Jack looked at the slowly closing doors, a trace of a smile appearing on his aged, withered face.

"I hope our village can have a child who becomes a soul master."

Inside the Awakening Hall, Master Su arranged the awakening stones, looked at this group of astonished and uncertain children, and smiled faintly, "Now line up one by one and come up to awaken your martial souls."

The first child stepped forward.

"Martial soul sickle, waste martial soul..."

"No soul power, next."

The first child who awakened returned to the queue with a desolate expression, followed closely by the second stepping forward.

"Martial soul shovel, waste martial soul..."

"No soul power, next..."

"..."

More than ten people were passed over just like this. The vast majority had no soul power, with only one or two having rank one or two innate soul power, but without exception, they were all waste martial souls.

The last one was Jiang Chen...

Jiang Chen walked to the awakening stone with a pounding heart. If he was a waste martial soul and still had no system, wouldn't he be not far from death?

"Sigh~ As expected, the probability ratio of soul masters appearing in the village isn't even as high as a remote border town..."

Master Su sighed.

"Child, step forward and let me see if you have the aptitude to become a soul master."

Jiang Chen stepped forward, and the dazzling light of the awakening stone shone upon him, appearing so illusory and mesmerizing.

"Child, place your hand on it and carefully feel the traction within your body..."

Jiang Chen placed his hand on the awakening stone. Suddenly, a piercing white light burst forth abruptly, making it impossible for people to open their eyes and look directly.

A cyan lotus was seen dancing slowly in Jiang Chen's hand, resembling an artwork meticulously carved from top-grade jadeite, giving one a gentle and intimate feeling.

"This... what is this?"

When Master Su saw this cyan lotus, his intuition told him that this was definitely not simple!

"Child, come test your soul power!" Master Su said eagerly.

Jiang Chen pointed a finger, and the crystal ball once again shone with a dazzling white light.

"Holy shit! This is Innate Full Soul Power!"

Master Su was extremely astonished. This actually turned out to be the one-in-ten-thousand Innate Full Soul Power!

In other words, Innate Full Soul Power meant Jiang Chen could reach Title Douluo no matter how casually he cultivated!

"Child, are you willing to join my Wuhun Hall?!"

As a viewer of the original anime, Jiang Chen naturally knew clearly that the Wuhun Empire eventually built by Wuhun Hall would be overthrown and destroyed by Tang San's protagonist group. If Jiang Chen stayed put in a corner, he could at least preserve his life.

Ding, congratulations to the host for meeting the system activation conditions. God-Tier Choice System has been bound. Please check and receive it, host! Congratulations to the host for successfully triggering a choice: Choice One: Join Wuhun Hall, obtain a second martial soul, the top-grade divine-tier martial soul Zhuxian Sword, and be rewarded with rank-ninety Title Douluo cultivation. Choice Two: Proudly refuse to join Wuhun Hall, obtain a second martial soul, the top-grade divine-tier martial soul Bagua Diagram, and be rewarded with rank-ninety Title Douluo cultivation. Choice Three: Fear being killed by Tang San, choose to live in seclusion in the mountains and ignore worldly affairs, reward none...

Jiang Chen was both startled and overjoyed by this sudden system. He didn't even look at the third option, only a fool would choose that!

"Tsk tsk, this Bagua Diagram is quite nice. My dream is to be a Daoist immortal who commands the wind and rain..."

"System, so I choose one!"

System: "...Host"

Afraid of Tang San?

That was impossible!

"I agree to join Wuhun Hall!"

"Congratulations to the host for making a choice. The reward has been distributed!"

Jiang Chen felt the vast power within his body, as well as the enhancement brought by the second martial soul. Right now, with Jiang Chen's current strength, soloing a few Peerless Douluos was probably a piece of cake.

That afternoon, Master Su didn't even go to the surrounding villages. He returned to the Wuhun Hall branch, handed his work over to Matthew, and directly took Jiang Chen overnight heading toward Wuhun City.

The night was hazy as Master Su drove the carriage galloping along the main road. At this moment, his heart was extremely excited. Securing this monumental merit of adding a genius to Wuhun Hall, he was dead set on claiming it, and even Jesus couldn't stop him!

Jiang Chen lifted the curtain, looking at that round moon in the sky like white jade, filled with deep emotion.

"Damn it, truly no one responds to six years of summoning, but in a single awakening the system arrives."

Jiang Chen thought of those stupid things he did for the sake of awakening the system, feeling that he truly was a complete idiot!

Jiang Chen was one year older than Tang San, which meant Jiang Chen had one year of rapid development time.

"Tang San, the one who possesses the way to courting death is you!"
