Dawnmaker and World-Bearing Titan Core Flame, Phainon's Template

(PS: The protagonist is seven years older than Tang San, multiple heroines, this book does not compare the combat power of summoned miHoYo female characters.)

Douluo Continent, the border of the Heaven Dou Empire, Fasinuo Province.

Notting City, southern part of the city.

In the afternoon, inside a flat-roofed room.

I, Xu Yuan, have been walking on thin ice all my life. Can I enable my golden finger during the upcoming awakening ceremony?

Xu Yuan sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat lost.

In the upper right corner of his retina, a progress bar for the [Honkai Trailblazer Panel] was stuck at 99.99%.

According to the usual tropes of traditional web novels, if Xu Yuan could not enable his golden finger during the awakening ceremony...

There was a high probability he would need to face a life-or-death crisis and make his grand entrance right at the nick of time.

As for a month and a few days ago.

After getting hit by a truck of fortune while going out, 13-year-old Xu Yuan had time-traveled on the spot and arrived in Douluo Continent.

The only things accompanying Xu Yuan were the patterns on the backs of his hands.

A core flame on his left hand, and a platinum greatsword on the pattern of his right hand.

Normally, Xu Yuan relied on the monstrous strength bestowed upon him by these two marks to do odd jobs in Notting City and make a living.

Xu Yuan, who used to be a "Trailblazer", recognized at a glance that his left hand was the World-Bearing Titan Core Flame and his right hand was Dawnmaker.

Wasn't this Brother Sun "Phainon's" script?

Could it be the ultimate pity gift from his past life of 180 pulls for 0+0, which also lost the 50/50 to Clara, accompanied by lingering resentment?

So, he, Xu Yuan, had actually come to the wrong set.

Just as Xu Yuan was pondering, a hoarse male voice with a hint of urgency rang out:

"Xu Yuan, are you ready? I'm taking you to the Notting City Spirit Hall Branch today to awaken your spirit."

Opening the door, the person who came into view was none other than the "trash master"—Yu Xiaogang.

He had ordinary looks, short black hair, middle-aged attire, and a hint of laziness and decadence between his eyes.

When Xu Yuan went out to do odd jobs last month, Yu Xiaogang noticed the pattern on his hand and perceived his extraordinariness.

Yu Xiaogang considered himself the number one master of spirit theory, and with just a single glance, he saw the situation on Xu Yuan's hand.

It should be a congenital spirit mark of some top-tier spirit.

According to a bunch of data he had freeloaded from Spirit Hall, there was a high probability that Xu Yuan possessed Innate Full Soul Power.

Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao spirit had been raised crookedly, so he looked at Xu Yuan with the gaze of a guinea pig.

Taking in a genius as a disciple had many benefits.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang added another sentence:

"Xu Yuan, do you still refuse to take me as your master?"

"As long as you nod in agreement, as a master, I can also contact a friend and send you into Shrek Academy for further studies."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan almost laughed his teeth off in his heart.

Xu Yuan, who was familiar with the original plot, knew very well what kind of trash Yu Xiaogang was—he was a properly super-sized scammer.

A life-attribute Blue Silver Grass, yet he stubbornly chose to go the poison route.

Tang San's first spirit skill for his Blue Silver Grass spirit was chosen as Entanglement, and while hunting for a spirit ring, he was almost solo-killed by a Datura Snake.

If not for Tang San having hidden weapons, he would have bought the farm on the spot.

Shrek Academy was even more of a street-side nobody; it had no money, no nutritional meals, and no simulated cultivation field.

Even with such a garbage academy, they were still overly ambitious and pretentious, stating that they only recruited a group of "little monsters" as students.

Qin Ming, the only graduated Soul Emperor, and Oscar, who possessed Innate Full Soul Power—which academy would they not be better off in than Shrek?

However, thinking was thinking, surface politeness still had to be maintained, after all, the current Xu Yuan was not even a grandmaster yet.

And Yu Xiaogang could use Luo Sanpao's farts to gas people...

"Master, I appreciate your high regard. Let's go awaken our spirit first and see what my Innate Soul Power is before deciding."

Xu Yuan was speechless; Yu Xiaogang's skin was thicker than usual, and he was as unshakable as a plaster.

He played the empty-gloved wolf trick quite smoothly, still wanting to use that set of spirit theory to scam him.

To borrow the words of Pathetic Wretch, he already had the way of taking his own death upon himself!

"Makes sense, rest assured, as a master, I will cover for you."

Xu Yuan, "..."

Ignoring Yu Xiaogang's forced sales pitch, Xu Yuan followed in his footsteps, and the two quickly arrived at their destination.

In the center of Notting City, the Spirit Hall Branch.

The Notting City Spirit Hall Branch was a giant domed building, brown in appearance, with a long sword as its emblem.

Yu Xiaogang walked at the very front. After exchanging pleasantries with two guards, the two walked inside.

The dome, towering twenty meters high, was extremely magnificent, and the dome of the entire hall was covered with grids and murals.

There were huge crystal windows around Spirit Hall, and the sunlight refracted onto the murals, causing bursts of golden light to flash dazzlingly.

The reception hall on the first floor.

An old man was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

The old man wore neat spirit master clothing, and the standard three-sword emblem showed that he was a Soul Grandmaster.

"Master Ma Xiunuo, long time no see."

Yu Xiaogang greeted him, "I brought a child today to awaken his spirit. Might you make things convenient?"

"So it's Master Yu. Is this your disciple?"

Ma Xiunuo obviously also knew Yu Xiaogang. He put down the teacup in his hand and looked curiously at Xu Yuan standing aside.

"He soon will be. Why don't we awaken his spirit first?"

Yu Xiaogang's tone was full of confidence.

Ma Xiunuo nodded and led the two of them to the right side of a tall arched doorway at the end of the corridor.

Pushing the door open and entering, the three of them came to a desk.

On the desk were placed six pitch-black, fist-sized round stones and a glowing blue crystal ball.

Ma Xiunuo arranged the six black stones into a hexagon on the ground, then motioned for Xu Yuan to stand in the middle.

"Don't be afraid, close your eyes and feel carefully."

As he spoke, Ma Xiunuo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he let out a low cry:

"Solitary Bamboo, possess."

A green light flashed, and a green bamboo measuring a full meter long appeared in Ma Xiunuo's right hand.

Three rings of light—one white, one yellow, and one purple—lit up from beneath his feet.

Ma Xiunuo patted out with his hands rapidly, and six faint green lights were injected into the six black stones on the ground.

Instantly, a layer of golden-hued brilliance was released from the six stones, forming a pale golden light shield.

It enveloped Xu Yuan's entire figure within it.

"Child, extend your right hand," Ma Xiunuo said.

Xu Yuan extended his right hand, and instantly, all the points of light surged forth.

In a split second.

A four-foot-long slender blade, with five gold thorns engraved on the hilt position, appeared in his palm.

The blade was slender, and the silvery-white sword tip flashed with a cold light.

Dawnmaker!

The moment Xu Yuan awakened his spirit, on his retina, the 99% progress bar shifted to 100%.

Xu Yuan immediately felt his spirits lift; his golden finger had arrived.

[Honkai Trailblazer Panel]

[Name: Xu Yuan]

[Title: Naught]

[Talent: Naught]

[Contractor: Naught]

[Daily Commission: Temporarily None]

[Spirit: Dawnmaker, World-Bearing Titan Core Flame (Unawakened)]

[Soul Power Level: ? (Unlocked after template fusion)]

[Soul Ring: Naught]

[Soul Skill: Naught]

[Skill: Naught]

[Inventory: Phainon's Template Power × 1, Contract Summoning Card × 1 (Binding compensation benefit)]

Glancing at the golden finger panel, information flowed into his mind, and Xu Yuan instantly understood its ability.

By fusing the beginner compensation benefits, he could inherit the Innate Soul Power level and officially embark on the path of cultivation.

And...

Doing daily commissions to claim resource rewards, having title buffs, awakening a second martial soul, and so on.

As for that [Contract Summoning Card *1], coupled with the name of his own cheat.

Could it be...

He could summon a Star Rail character to guard his path?

The Star Rail universe had a massive worldview, and any named Pathstrider would be a dimensional strike to Douluo Continent.

Not to mention those powerful Pathstriders; if one could be summoned across worlds to guard Xu Yuan's path,

in the early stages, he could snowball and take off all the way.

He just didn't know who he would be able to summon.
