In the shabby little house of Holy Soul Village, Chu Zhao lay on a bed pieced together from several broken planks, staring at the azure sky overhead. She was completely speechless.

She was just too unlucky.

Really.

Who got as unlucky as she did after transmigrating? Not only had she become an orphan, but an orphan with an unclear background, less than three years old, and no memories from the original owner of the body. On top of that, she had transmigrated into the Douluo Continent she had read about.

And it had already been three years. Where was her cheat?

Weren't transmigrators supposed to come with cheats?

"Little Chu, get up and eat."

An elderly man called from outside, then entered carrying a bowl of porridge.

He was the village chief of Holy Soul Village. Everyone called him Old Jack. He was a responsible and kind-hearted man.

When Chu Zhao had still been a three-year-old child, she had been abandoned outside Holy Soul Village. Old Jack had taken her in, and out of pity for the child, he had supported her from time to time over the past three years.

"Thank you, Grandpa Jack."

Chu Zhao thanked him before accepting the bowl of porridge from Old Jack.

"Little Chu, you should be turning six soon, right? The annual martial soul awakening ceremony is coming up. I'll come get you when the time comes so you can attend."

"If you can become a soul master, you'll have something to rely on in the future."

"Who knows? You might even have a chance to find your family!"

Old Jack went on and on, but it was not irritating. He was only doing it for Chu Zhao's sake.

"Alright, Grandpa Jack. Come get me when it's time. I'll definitely go."

Chu Zhao answered readily, flashing a sweet smile.

It had to be said that this body had excellent looks. She would definitely grow into a beauty.

If I calculate the timing, I should awaken my martial soul together with Tang San. Does that mean I'll get to see the legendary Blind Douluo, Su Yuntao?

I wonder what my martial soul will be. Heaven, please give me a good one. It would be best if my Innate Soul Power were a little higher too.

But don't make it too good. I only want to be an invisible person. I don't want to get involved in all that trouble.

Soon, martial soul awakening day arrived. Old Jack came to fetch Chu Zhao last.

The moment Chu Zhao stepped outside, she saw Tang San standing out conspicuously among the crowd.

That temperament and those eyes clearly did not belong to a six-year-old child. How had no one noticed? Was it just her imagination?

The one awakening their martial souls was indeed Su Yuntao. Wearing an expression of utter disappointment, as if he no longer wanted to do this job, he tested them one by one. Their martial souls were either useless, or they had zero Soul Power.

Even when Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul appeared, Su Yuntao still declared it a useless martial soul in great disappointment.

Calling the top-tier Blue Silver Emperor martial soul useless was truly something else. His disappointment in useless martial souls was so great that even after learning Tang San possessed Innate Full Soul Power, he was only briefly excited.

Very soon, it was Chu Zhao's turn. She was also the last one.

After the usual procedure, something familiar appeared above Chu Zhao's right hand—something that had appeared many times today: a scythe.

But upon closer inspection, one would discover that her scythe was different from everyone else's.

Chu Zhao's scythe was black at its base, streaked with unknown red patterns. Its blade was longer and thinner, visibly sharp, and it gave off a cold, sinister aura.

But in Su Yuntao's eyes, it was no different from the Farm Tool Scythes that had appeared before. He said in great disappointment, "Another scythe martial soul. It can barely count as a weapon."

Just as Su Yuntao was commenting on Chu Zhao's martial soul, a childish boy's voice suddenly rang out in her mind, sounding as if it were stomping its feet in fury.

To hell with barely counting as a weapon, and to hell with scythe martial soul! This is the Death God Scythe! It isn't some lowly thing like that! What an ignorant fool!

I quite agree with that. After all, he is the Blind Douluo.

Chu Zhao had made that sarcastic remark in her heart without thinking. Only after finishing did she realize something was wrong, and she was utterly shocked.

What voice did I just hear?! Who's talking?!

Of course it's me, the one and only Death God System, unique in heaven and earth. Who else could it be?

Huh? I didn't say anything.

Chu Zhao: ∑(O_O;)

Chu Zhao felt like she had gone mad. Perhaps she had spent too long here and her mind had become abnormal. She had actually heard two unfamiliar voices speaking beside her ears.

Judging from the people around her, she was clearly the only one who could hear them. Was she hallucinating?

"Let's test your Innate Soul Power."

Su Yuntao's voice sounded without much emotion. Once he finished testing this one, he could get off work.

When Chu Zhao pressed her hand against the Crystal Ball, she felt something rapidly draining from within her body. As the Crystal Ball emitted a faint glow, those two voices rang out beside her ears again.

Death God Cultivation System activating... Farming and Wellness System activating...

Chu Zhao seemed to understand what was happening. Her systems had finally arrived—and two had come at once.

Two systems... could they correspond to her two martial souls?

In the palm of Chu Zhao's tightly clenched left hand, she felt a tiny object pressing uncomfortably against her skin. It had appeared in her hand one step after her scythe martial soul.

Having some understanding of the Douluo Continent's plot, Chu Zhao quickly guessed that this might be her other martial soul, so she clenched her hand even tighter.

The Crystal Ball's light was faint, and Su Yuntao's voice was calm. But seeing how cute Chu Zhao was, he still comforted her a little.

"Your Innate Soul Power is only level one. Although it's very low, you can at least cultivate. As long as you work hard enough, you might not be unable to become a Soul Grandmaster like me."

Level one, my ass. I absorbed it all, didn't I!

The two voices rang out again at the same time. Fortunately, they were not too loud, or Chu Zhao would have been annoyed to death by them first.

"As long as I can cultivate, that's enough. Thank you, Uncle."

Chu Zhao never forgot to be polite, though all she wanted now was to leave as quickly as possible, find somewhere quiet, and properly study her other martial soul and the two systems that had suddenly appeared.

Outside Spirit Hall, Old Jack anxiously questioned them the moment he saw them emerge.

"Grandmaster, how did it go? Does any child in our village have the potential to become a soul master this year?"

Su Yuntao looked at him and sighed. "There are two, but it's a pity. One has Innate Full Soul Power but a useless martial soul. The other has a Weapon Soul, but only level one Innate Soul Power."

In Su Yuntao's opinion, the two of them were limited by their martial souls and Soul Power, so their future achievements would not amount to much. They would already be burning incense in gratitude if they could become Soul Grand Masters.

"Ah?"

Old Jack looked extremely disappointed, but he still refused to give up and continued asking what had happened. When he learned that Innate Full Soul Power had been paired with Blue Silver Grass, he too sighed.

"A useless martial soul is still a useless martial soul. Even if he becomes a soul master, he'll probably be a useless soul master. Such Innate Full Soul Power is truly a waste. As for the one with level one Innate Soul Power, she can still try to work hard."

Some people might not be able to see the author's notes, so they were written here instead.

1. This story has no CP. In the early stages, the female lead only wants to complete missions. In the later stages, she only wants to become stronger.

2. She will not side with the protagonist group. The female lead will form her own faction.

3. The female lead is not a good person, not a good person, not a good person. She is a black lotus, an egoist.

4. No writing advice, no irrelevant comments, and no personal attacks!

5. Because the plot follows a different path, there will be OOC elements and original settings!
