Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou Area, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

A family of four lived in a small courtyard in the Outer Sect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

A child was exercising in the courtyard. He stood only about 1.2 meters tall and was six years old, but he looked noticeably stronger than his peers. Although his face was still exceptionally immature, he also appeared rather mature. At the very least, his eyes did not resemble those of a six-year-old child.

The child was exercising with a barbell. Carrying a customized small barbell on his back, he kept doing squats while occasionally counting aloud.

"Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred!"

Only after completing a full hundred squats did he place the barbell back on the rack. The entire barbell rack had been custom-built, and its design looked somewhat unlike anything from this world. Still, it ensured his safety—at the very least, the barbell would not crush him.

After finishing his barbell exercises, the child sat alone in the courtyard and gulped down water, occasionally panting heavily.

A voice suddenly came from inside the room. "Little Xiong, come back and eat breakfast. You're so young—why are you lifting barbells again?"

"Mom, I'll be there as soon as I finish resting."

Not long afterward, the family of four gathered around the table for breakfast. The meal was fairly sumptuous, consisting mainly of steamed buns, meat porridge, and the like.

The woman suddenly spoke. "Little Xiong, the sect's scheduled Martial Soul awakening is tomorrow morning. Don't injure yourself, or it'll be troublesome later."

The child asked in confusion, "Mom, why does the sect have to organize everyone's Martial Soul awakening together? Aren't you worried about privacy being leaked? Besides, you can perform the awakening too, so why not just let you do it for me?"

The woman rubbed the child's head. "Little Xiong, the sect has its own considerations. Your father and I are both Outer Sect personnel of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so we still have to follow the sect's arrangements."

The child merely said "Oh" before continuing to gulp down his porridge.

This child was named Yang Xiong. He appeared far more mature and sensible than ordinary children.

What outsiders did not know was that Yang Xiong had not originally been from this world. He had come from Blue Star.

On Blue Star, Yang Xiong had merely been an ordinary wage earner. He had graduated from university and was over thirty without getting married, working as an engineering maintenance technician at a small factory.

His job had originally been fairly stable, and his salary was just enough to get by. It was not particularly high, but it was still a little better than that of most laborers.

Unfortunately, the factory owner was unscrupulous and exploited the employees mercilessly. There was endless work every day, and his supervisor was also a workaholic who loved assigning all kinds of tasks whenever quitting time approached.

That night, Yang Xiong was repairing a machine on the production line. The problem with the machine had almost been fixed, but at that moment, he suddenly felt dazed. The machine, which had already been powered off, suddenly emitted a spark, and his entire body immediately went numb.

When Yang Xiong woke up again, he had become a newborn child.

Yang Xiong was baffled. How could being electrocuted turn him into a child? Could there have been some other problem?

All around Yang Xiong were people in all kinds of strange clothing. He could not even understand what they were saying and could only hear a burst of noisy chatter.

It was not until several months later that Yang Xiong began to realize that he had probably transmigrated to Douluo Continent.

Although Yang Xiong had often worked overtime, he still liked reading novels and watching anime on weekends. Recently, he had happened to become obsessed with the anime Douluo Continent.

Yang Xiong had read the novel long ago, but the anime gave him a different feeling from the novel. The world-shaking special effects were indeed captivating and stirred his blood.

After arriving in Douluo Continent, however, he felt that things were completely different. This was a feudal society with an extremely strict hierarchy. If he had been reborn as a direct descendant of some great sect, he could definitely have made a big splash. But what the hell was this situation now?

Yang Xiong's father was named Yang Lin. He was an Outer Sect Deacon of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He was already forty-five years old, yet he had only reached Soul Power Level 58, making him a Soul King. His Martial Soul was Iron Sword, and it was hard to say whether he would ever have any hope of breaking through to the Soul Saint realm.

His father himself, however, was full of confidence. Apart from completing the sect's missions, he devoted himself almost entirely to cultivation.

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, anyone who reached the Soul Saint realm could become an Outer Sect Elder, while anyone who reached the Soul Douluo level could become an Inner Sect Elder. As for Title Douluos, they were already the pillars of the sect.

Compared with other sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did a fairly good job of cultivating its disciples, especially those from the Outer Sect, allowing them to obtain relatively good resources.

Perhaps because of the properties of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, there was not much difference in status between the sect's Inner and Outer Sects. This was especially true for Soul Masters who did not possess the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, as their status was relatively high. At the very least, in the neighboring Clear Sky Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, members of the Inner Sect had to possess the Clear Sky Hammer or Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.

Yang Xiong's mother was named Sun Yu. She was also a Soul Master, but her Martial Soul was the rare Eye Martial Soul, and her Soul Power was only Level 42. She was responsible for patrols within the sect, but because of her special Martial Soul, she could still be considered a minor deacon.

There was also another person in the family: Yang Xiong's older brother, Yang Wei. His Martial Soul was also Iron Sword.

Yang Wei was six years older than Yang Xiong and was now twelve years old, but his Soul Power had only reached Level 21. He was studying at an Advanced Soul Master Academy in Heaven Dou City, though he had only barely met the admission requirements for an Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Whether it was his family's circumstances or his family members' Martial Souls, Yang Xiong felt utterly speechless.

Being an Outer Sect Deacon of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could very well mean becoming cannon fodder in the future.

As for his family's Martial Souls, the Iron Sword Martial Soul looked fairly decent, but unfortunately, its Innate Soul Power Level was too low, and the quality of the Martial Soul was simply too poor. Although it had decent potential for development, it did not possess any particularly top-tier inheritance, so its prospects were likely bleak.

As for his mother's Eye Martial Soul, in a certain sense, it was indeed a top-tier Martial Soul. However, there was no so-called Body Sect in Douluo Continent 1, nor was there any systematic cultivation method for Body Martial Souls. His mother clearly did not possess an opportunity like Huo Gua's cheat-like fortune, so her future achievements would probably be quite limited.

Moreover, based on Yang Xiong's observations, he and the sect's little princess, Ning Rongrong, were the same age. In other words, he was also the same age as Tang San, leaving him with no age advantage whatsoever.

Yang Xiong always felt that his transmigration was ridiculously unfair. He had neither Tang San's inherited Tang Sect Skills from his previous life nor his parents' powerful bloodline. All he could do was ask his father to custom-make some exercise equipment and train in basically the same way people on Blue Star did.

Still, Yang Xiong was fairly confident in himself. Even if he had nothing, at worst he could rely on his knowledge of the plot to persuade his parents to leave and lie low for a while.

Besides, his family was only part of the Outer Sect. What did the sect's survival have to do with him? When it came to seeking fortune and avoiding disaster, Yang Xiong was still quite good at it.
