A New Transmigrator

This feeling was all too familiar to Lin Tian—it was the same feeling from his life before last, when he had been hit by a truck.

Before falling off the cliff, he saw Tang Hao holding the Clear Sky Hammer, still frozen in the motion of swinging it.

Tang Hao was looking at him with an utterly indifferent gaze.

It was as though he had just crushed an ant to death.

Lin Tian could not understand it. He had clearly befriended Tang San, acknowledged Tang San as his big brother, and had even humbled himself enough to want to become Tang San's servant.

Why did Tang Hao still want to kill him?

Was it simply because he had fallen for Xiao Wu?

That was Lin Tian's final thought before losing consciousness.

Watching Lin Tian fall from the cliff, Tang Hao finally withdrew his gaze, turned around, put away his hammer, and vanished into the darkness.

That hammer blow had shattered every bone in Lin Tian's body and ruptured his internal organs.

Now that Lin Tian had fallen from the mountain cliff, his death was practically certain.

Originally, when Lin Tian had proposed becoming Tang San's servant, Tang Hao had considered sparing his life.

After all, geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power were rare. Barring unforeseen circumstances, he was certain to become a Titled Douluo in the future, enough to serve as Tang San's trusted right-hand man.

He could charge into battle during the future campaign against Spirit Hall.

But he should never, ever have possessed Twin Martial Souls.

If he were allowed to live, who knew what would happen?

If he had only one Martial Soul, Tang Hao believed he could still keep him suppressed until Tang San matured.

Twin Martial Souls were another matter.

Once Lin Tian grew strong, it might be the Tang father and son who died in the future.

Meanwhile, having just gained Tang San and Lin Tian as two big brothers, Xiao Wu slept exceptionally soundly in Lin Tian's home in Bamboo Ridge Village.

She knew nothing of what had happened on the back mountain of Bamboo Ridge.

Not until the next morning did she begin to worry. She assumed Lin Tian had gone out to find food for her, but she waited and waited without seeing him return.

When she asked the old village chief, she learned that no one had seen Lin Tian since the previous night.

He told her to search the back mountain, since Lin Tian often went there.

But Xiao Wu ran all over the back mountain and still could not find him.

Only then did Xiao Wu realize that something might have happened to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian was the only person from Bamboo Ridge in centuries to possess Innate Full Soul Power, so the villagers held him in great regard.

Thus, at the old village chief's suggestion, they split into two groups.

The villagers began a carpet search along the back mountain.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu followed the old village chief back to Notting City to see whether Lin Tian had returned there.

It would be best if they found him. If they did not, then something had very likely happened to him.

So Xiao Wu and the old village chief hurried nonstop toward Notting City. At the same time, she kept reassuring herself that Lin Tian merely had something to do and had gone out temporarily—nothing had happened to him...

At the same time that the two rushed toward Notting City, Lin Yuan remained at home in Notting City, quietly waiting for news.

Lin Yuan knew that if Tang Hao intended to kill Lin Tian, he would certainly do it in secret rather than openly in front of Xiao Wu.

He would only make Lin Tian disappear.

And once Lin Tian disappeared, the warmhearted villagers of Bamboo Ridge would surely begin searching for him on their own.

By then, they would definitely search Notting City as well and come to their home.

What surprised Lin Yuan, however, was that while his mother was cooking and he was helping watch the shop, he did not receive news of Lin Tian's disappearance. Instead, someone completely unexpected arrived.

"Excuse me, do you sell Whale Rubber here?"

This person was about Lin Yuan's age, yet he was exceptionally tall and straight-backed, with a long frame. He stood half a head taller than Lin Tian, Xiao Wu, and Tang San, even though Lin Tian had already obtained his first Soul Ring.

He wore a dark blue fitted outfit with red contrasting panels in several places, a high collar, a close-cut waist, a wide black belt, and tightly bound leg wraps. At a glance, he was clearly a trained fighter.

The outfit was predominantly dark and somber, accented by red. Though his face wore a friendly expression, Lin Yuan found him more like a bloodthirsty, sharp-edged assassin.

He gave off an extremely dangerous feeling.

So he really is another transmigrator?

Lin Yuan quietly became wary, though he showed nothing on his face. "Sorry, sir, but we do not sell Whale Rubber here."

"Is that so? But I asked every apothecary in Notting City, and they said only your shop might have Whale Rubber."

The youth looked meaningfully at Lin Yuan, as though trying to see something through him, and spoke with a light smile.

Lin Yuan pretended to be surprised. "Could you be Brother Lin Tian's friend?"

"Lin Tian? Who is that?" The youth's expression instantly turned grave, and he frowned.

With a worshipful look, Lin Yuan said, "Brother Lin Tian is the number one genius Soul Master at Nording Academy. He possesses the powerful Fire Lotus Martial Soul and has Innate Full Soul Power."

"Brother Lin Tian asked our shop to purchase this Whale Rubber for him. Whenever we get some, we deliver it to him."

"Normally, no one besides him wants this stuff. If you want it, I can have my mother save you a piece the next time we restock. But as for the price..."

As he spoke, he revealed an expression that plainly said he would only be willing to stock it if paid in advance.

"Heh, money is not a problem. Can you tell me about this Lin Tian?"

The youth resumed his previous calm demeanor. As he spoke, he took out a Gold Soul Coin from his robes and placed it on the counter.

Lin Yuan quickly pocketed the Gold Soul Coin. He also secretly glanced toward the inner room, making sure his mother had not noticed, before saying, "Speaking of my Brother Lin Tian, he is truly incredible..."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan recounted everything about Lin Tian, praising him as though there had never been anyone like him in heaven or on earth.

Innate Full Soul Power, easily defeating Xiao Wu and Tang San at Nording Academy despite both of them also possessing Innate Full Soul Power, reaching nineteenth rank Soul Power at just seven years old, becoming sworn siblings with Tang San and Xiao Wu, and so on.

The youth listened with a deeply furrowed brow and a grave expression.

However, when he heard that Lin Tian had taken Xiao Wu back to the countryside and separated from Tang San, his frown immediately relaxed.

The youth smiled. "So that is how it is. I also happen to have Innate Full Soul Power. If I get the chance, I would truly like to see what he is capable of."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old village chief of Bamboo Ridge hurried into the shop with Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu immediately stepped forward and asked:

"Lin Yuan, have you seen Xiao Tian? Did he return to Notting City last night? I searched Nording Academy, Notting City, and everywhere he might have gone, but I could not find him."

He is finally dead... Lin Yuan forcibly suppressed the joy and excitement in his heart, pretending not to know anything as he asked, "Didn't Brother Lin Tian return to Bamboo Ridge with you yesterday?"

The old village chief of Bamboo Ridge said in anguish, "Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu did return to the village, but when we woke up this morning, he was gone. I thought he had gone to the back mountain again."

"I had Xiao Wu search for him, but she could not find him. Now all the villagers are searching the mountains and fields for him."

"We worried that he might have returned to the academy, so we came here to check. But when we asked at Nording Academy, we learned that he had not gone back at all since yesterday."

"Tell me, Bamboo Ridge Village finally produced a genius with Innate Full Soul Power. If something were to happen to him, what would we do..."
