"An ordinary sickle martial soul, Innate Soul Power zero."

As the calm male voice fell, a plainly dressed little boy lowered his head and left dejectedly.

Seeing this, Xu Peinian, whose handsome face could not be concealed even by his tattered clothes, felt increasingly uneasy amid the crowd.

He was not a native of the Douluo Continent, but someone from Blue Star who had transmigrated here six years ago.

Back then, he had been rewatching the childhood classic "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" at home when the television suddenly erupted with a blinding white light. When he opened his eyes again, he had been born into this world of Soul Masters and soul beasts.

However, he had encountered a disastrous start the moment he arrived. He had been an abandoned infant at birth. Fortunately, Old Tom, the village chief of Dihun Village, had taken him in while passing by.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last. Old Tom passed away when he was three, leaving him to grow up relying on the charity of the villagers, with neither money nor connections.

Thinking of this, Xu Peinian could not help sighing softly.

For the past six years, he had tirelessly called out to the system daddy meant for him every day. Yet perhaps because he had not even topped up Q Coins in his previous life, system daddy had never responded.

"Next, Xu Peinian."

Inside the wooden house of Dihun Village, Bi Yuntao, sent by the Dink City Spirit Hall Sub-Hall to oversee this martial soul awakening, called his name.

"Okay, Uncle Bi... Uncle Bi."

What did this name have to do with Su Yuntao? And for someone from Blue Star like me, it was really hard not to laugh.

Xu Peinian took a deep breath, shook away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and walked straight to the center of the awakening formation arranged from six black stones.

"Don't be nervous. Close your eyes and feel carefully."

Bi Yuntao, transformed into a wolfman, patiently guided him from the side.

A moment later, Bi Yuntao forcefully thrust both palms forward, and six pale green beams instantly entered the black stones on the ground.

I have to awaken a decent martial soul... Xu Peinian closed his eyes, but his eyelashes trembled slightly from how tightly he had shut them.

In an instant, the six-pointed-star martial soul awakening formation on the ground emitted a hazy golden glow, which immediately enveloped Xu Peinian.

At the same time, specks of golden light continuously drifted out from the black stones before pouring directly into Xu Peinian's body.

A warm current flowed through his limbs and bones. Xu Peinian felt as if he were bathing in a warm ocean, vaguely sensing something emerging within him.

Seeing this sight, even Bi Yuntao's calm face revealed a trace of excitement.

After all, according to the laws of martial soul awakening on the Douluo Continent, the more light particles one absorbed while awakening a martial soul, the higher the quality of the martial soul and the greater one's Innate Soul Power.

After a long while, Xu Peinian finally stopped absorbing the golden specks of light.

"Good child, try summoning your martial soul." A hint of urgency crept into Bi Yuntao's voice.

At those words, Xu Peinian abruptly opened his eyes and instinctively extended his right palm.

A pressure as vast as the abyss and deep as the sea suddenly descended!

It vanished again in the next instant, as though it had merely been an illusion.

A long blade as black as ink, its edge glimmering with a cold and shadowy light, slowly descended into Xu Peinian's palm. Its overall shape resembled the Tang horizontal saber from his previous life. The blade's patterns were simple yet refined, while a ferocious ghostly face was carved into the pommel.

"Th-this... what martial soul is this?"

Bi Yuntao's breathing grew slightly heavier. Though he did not recognize the blade, he could sense its extraordinary nature from the aura it emitted alone.

[It has been detected that you have awakened your first martial soul, the Netherworld Blade (Super Martial Soul). Your second martial soul will now be activated.] [Your second martial soul, the Qili Belt (quality unknown), has awakened. From now on, every ten levels of Soul Power gained will allow you to choose and automatically obtain a soul ring for your second martial soul.] [Furthermore, the soul rings of your second martial soul will not conflict with those of your first martial soul. You may absorb and obtain soul rings for both simultaneously.] [Your Innate Soul Power has reached level ten. Would you like to begin the three-choice soul ring selection?]

Dad, why did you only show up now... The double surprise struck Xu Peinian one after another, making his entire body tremble uncontrollably. His head was left spinning from the impact.

Pause the selection for now. Do not release the second martial soul.

Xu Peinian silently answered the cheat in his heart, then responded to Bi Yuntao's question outwardly.

"The Netherworld Blade."

"The Netherworld Blade? Good child, quick, come test your Innate Soul Power level."

Bi Yuntao hurriedly handed the crystal ball to Xu Peinian, looking even more impatient than Xu Peinian himself.

Xu Peinian raised his left hand and pressed his palm against the outer shell of the dark-blue crystal ball.

In an instant, the crystal ball burst forth with dazzling light, filling the entire house in a flash.

"Innate Full Soul Power! It's actually the rare Innate Full Soul Power!!!"

Bi Yuntao's voice suddenly became shrill with shock, and his expression twisted along with it.

After pausing, Bi Yuntao slightly calmed the shock in his heart before continuing.

"Child, your potential is immense. If you are willing to join our Spirit Hall, I can recommend you to Spirit City.

"In the future, you will have a great chance of entering Spirit Hall Academy. You may even become the disciple of a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse. Your future will be incredibly bright."

"Thank you for your kind offer, Uncle Bi, but I want to gain some experience outside for now. I do not wish to join Spirit Hall at the moment."

Relaxing, Xu Peinian immediately declined the olive branch he had been offered.

Although Spirit Hall would become a complete mess internally later on, it was indeed a good place for Xu Peinian at present. However, he did not want to reveal his second martial soul yet and intended to make a decision after studying it further.

"Won't you reconsider? Spirit Hall has abundant resources. A genius like you could definitely accomplish great things after joining."

"Uncle Bi, I have already made my decision. It will not change for the time being."

Xu Peinian shook his head, his attitude extremely firm.

"Very well. If you change your mind, you can come find me at the Dink City Spirit Hall Sub-Hall anytime."

"Mm, thank you, Uncle Bi."

Bi Yuntao sighed softly, then handed him a paper certificate.

"Also, this is the martial soul certificate issued for you. Keep it safe."

Xu Peinian accepted the certificate and thanked him once more.

Afterward, the children of Dihun Village bade farewell to Bi Yuntao under the guidance of the new village chief and departed.

Inside the wooden house, Bi Yuntao watched everyone leave. Yet he did not depart immediately. Instead, he stared intently at Xu Peinian's small departing figure and muttered in a low voice.

"It would be a shame for such a good prospect not to join Spirit Hall. No, I need to report this upward and have them send someone of a higher rank to recruit this child."

Only after the figures of the Dihun Village residents disappeared from sight did Bi Yuntao set off back to the sub-hall.

Xu Peinian did not know that Bi Yuntao was still unwilling to give up. He was hurrying back to the house Old Tom had left behind.

The moment he entered, he immediately shut the door, then climbed onto the bed and adjusted himself into the most comfortable sitting position.

With a thought, a dark-silver metal belt roughly three fingers wide appeared around Xu Peinian's waist. The belt was covered in intricate patterns, with spiral ram horns and wolf tails intertwined in relief. Without Soul Power infused into it, it was no different from an ordinary Soul Tool belt.

Xu Peinian stroked the icy metal surface and could no longer hold himself back as he silently said in his heart.

"Continue the soul ring selection immediately!"
