Outside Spirit City, Holy Glory Orphanage.

Gu Changsheng looked at the awakening array before him, with only a single thought in his mind: if he did not awaken some kind of golden finger soon, he was probably done for.

This was Douluo Continent, and six years ago he transmigrated here, becoming an orphan adopted by Spirit Hall.

At the very beginning he had been quite excited—Douluo Continent, Tang San, Xiao Wu, the path to becoming a god, the Sea God trials, all of these were very familiar to him. He had read the plot at least ten times and watched the manga twenty times.

Yet even if he was familiar with all of this, thoroughly familiar with it, what use was it?

Because in this world, having hard fists was the only true principle. Without soul power, if you only knew the plot, no one would believe a word you said.

Yet his faction—if following the normal plot—the Pontifex would die, Qian Renxue would be crippled, and Hu Liena would also exit the stage.

And he would ultimately become a background board on Tang San's path to godhood, yet he neither wanted nor was willing to accept that.

"Next, Gu Changsheng!"

As the voice of the orphanage director rang out from the side, the gazes of a group of children swept over in unison.

Some were envious, some were nervous, and some were gloating.

Because today was the orphanage's annual soul awakening day, and only by awakening a good martial soul could one enter Spirit Hall Academy.

As for those without a martial soul, or those who awakened a trash martial soul, they could only honestly stay behind in the orphanage.

One step to heaven, one step to hell.

Gu Changsheng walked step by step, slowly took a deep breath, and walked steadily into the awakening array glowing with golden light before him.

The director on the side merely glanced at him lightly and said indifferently:

"Close your eyes and don't move around!"

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng closed his eyes. The awakening array was spinning frantically, slowly reflecting a golden glow.

Suddenly a wave of warm energy surged into his body, and the next second, something inside Gu Changsheng's mind seemed to be directly and violently struck open.

With a loud boom, an ancient dark gold book suddenly appeared in his palm. At this moment the pages turned without wind, and as they flipped rapidly, every single page seemed to be completely blank.

Yet as the pages turned, the aura of every martial soul in the courtyard seemed to be drawn in by him in an instant.

At this moment, the director's expression changed drastically in an instant.

"A book-type martial soul? No, this aura..."

Before Gu Changsheng had time to speak, a line of golden text suddenly floated before his eyes, and a crisp voice transmitted into his ears.

[Host detected completing martial soul awakening.]

[Civilization Deduction System bound successfully.]

Hearing this, his heart skipped a beat, his eyes forced wide open, and that wave of excitement was simply impossible to conceal.

Six years, he had waited a full six years, and his very own golden finger had finally arrived!

Host: Gu Changsheng Martial Soul: Myriad Heaven Book Inborn Soul Power: Rank Ten Core Abilities: Analysis, Recording, Deduction. System Goal: Establish a martial soul civilization system, break the God Realm monopoly.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng's expression shifted slightly. In truth, his inner mind was completely dumbfounded.

The Civilization Deduction System?

It was neither those sign-in systems he used to see, nor a gacha system, nor did it come right out of the gate gifting some god-tier soul ring?

"No... then what use is this thing of mine?"

As his mind spun at high speed, he suddenly understood the terrifying nature of this system.

Analyzing martial souls, recording martial souls, and even deducing martial souls—this was not merely letting him alone grow stronger, but letting the entire Spirit Hall grow stronger.

Because this was a crucial step that could research artificial soul rings, soul guidance devices, and martial soul evolution.

"Put your hand up! What are you still staring blankly for?"

The director's voice interrupted his thoughts. When Gu Changsheng raised his head, he discovered a blue crystal ball had appeared before him.

The light upon it was slowly blooming outward. He raised his hand involuntarily, and when his right hand pressed down upon it, the light of the crystal ball exploded instantly.

In the blink of an eye, the dazzling light directly illuminated the entire courtyard, a sight that left all the children completely dumbfounded.

The instant the light faded, the director's body was also standing rigidly straight, and after finally seeing an unbelievable thing, his voice was somewhat out of control.

"Inborn full soul power! It's actually inborn full soul power!"

This sentence caused the others in the courtyard to instantly boil over.

"Gu Changsheng, inborn full soul power? How is this possible?"

"How could he possibly have inborn full soul power?"

"If it's true, wouldn't he be able to enter Spirit Hall Academy?"

It was precisely at this very moment that the director shifted from his initial contempt to earnestness right now, his gaze changing completely.

Geniuses were not rare in Spirit Hall, and inborn full soul power was worthy of attention, but since he possessed both inborn full soul power and this unprecedented martial soul, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation.

The director forcefully suppressed a breath and asked excitedly:

"Gu Changsheng, what is the name of your martial soul?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng lowered his head to look at the ancient book in his palm, where the golden pages were slowly turning.

In truth, he did not know what this martial soul was called either, but he had already thought of a name.

"The Myriad Heaven Book!"

"The Myriad Heaven Book? A bit interesting..."

The director frowned tightly, speaking as he muttered softly to himself, because he had never heard of such a martial soul.

Yet not having heard of it in Spirit Hall did not mean one had a weak martial soul; there were many top-tier mutated martial souls here that no one recognized at the very beginning.

Just as the atmosphere in the arena reached its peak, a line of text popped up once more before Gu Changsheng's eyes.

[Novice mission is opening: Complete the first analysis.

Target: Any soul master.

Reward: Basic soul power operation model.]

Gu Changsheng looked at the text before him, his gaze instantly falling upon the director in front of him. The next second, the Myriad Heaven Book gently opened, and a line of text prominently emerged.

[Target: Spirit Hall Orphanage Director and Spirit Hall Outer Emissary.

Martial Soul: Wind Falcon

Soul Power: Rank Twenty-Eight.

Characteristics: Agility attack system soul master.

Soul Rings: White, Yellow.

Flaws: First soul ring age too low, second soul skill and martial soul compatibility average, subsequent potential will be greatly restricted.

Suggestion: The third soul ring must choose a wind-attribute avian-type spirit beast, striving to possess burst capability.]

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng's gaze grew even brighter, for this was truly a fine item. An ability like this was far more practical than simply gifting him a one-hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

A soul ring could only be used by one person, but the analysis ability—bestowing suitable soul rings—meant he could forge a batch of powerhouses.

And what was Spirit Hall currently least lacking in? That was people, resources, and soul masters!

If he was given an opportunity, given a good route, Spirit Hall would become his greatest backing.

Thinking up to this point, he raised his head to look at the director before him and said indifferently:

"Director, your martial soul should be the Wind Falcon, right?"

Hearing this, the director's gaze froze, his expression slowly growing a bit more solemn.

"You could tell?"

Gu Changsheng continued:

"Rank twenty-eight soul power, agility attack system, the age of your first soul ring is on the low side, so your first soul ring grants fast speed but weak burst."

"Your second soul ring should be a charge type; unfortunately, the Wind Falcon itself possesses flexible traits, so they don't match up entirely."

The courtyard instantly fell silent at this moment. An incredulous look was revealed on the director's face, and his expression also stiffened.

He had not released his martial soul, nor had he told anyone present his rank; how did this child know?

"Where did you learn this? Did someone tell you?"

When the director asked this, his expression remained extremely bewildered.

Yet Gu Changsheng unhurriedly displayed his own martial soul bit by bit, replying:

"No one told me anything. It's just that this martial soul of mine seems capable of recording and analyzing other people's martial souls."

Upon hearing this, the director's breathing suddenly turned hurried.

Inborn full soul power coupled with this mysterious martial soul that had never appeared before, and this martial soul could casually analyze the martial souls of other soul masters while seeing through them so thoroughly.

This was no longer an ordinary genius; this was a strategic-grade asset.

If the ability of the child before him was real, his value to Spirit Hall was not even inferior to a top-tier powerhouse of the power assault system.

"Silence, complete silence! Child, wait here for me, I am stepping out for a moment and will be right back."

Once he finished speaking, he immediately turned to look at several guards at the side, shouting coldly:

"From this moment on, seal off everyone entering and exiting the orphanage. Also, today's records—no one is allowed to speak of them to anyone, and no one is permitted to leave without my orders!"

The several martial soul guards immediately nodded at once, while the children below were all scared stupid.

Only Gu Changsheng stood in place with a calm expression, because he understood clearly in his heart that this was his first step toward Douluo Continent.

In this Douluo Continent, people often said honesty was fine, but blindly acting like trash was simply waiting for death!

As he looked at the distant departing back of the orphanage director, he knew that his era was about to arrive...
