The Word Entry Lottery System and the Awakening of Twin Martial Souls

Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire.

Notting City, Holy Soul Village, Spirit Hall's awakening chamber.

Lin Hao had been in Douluo Continent for six years.

Today was the day he awakened his martial soul.

But he already knew what his martial soul was. In fact, he had Twin Martial Souls.

How did Lin Hao know that in advance?

Simple.

Lin Hao was a transmigrator.

And he was a transmigrator with a system.

It was called the Word Entry Lottery System.

Each month, he could draw one ability.

The abilities varied wildly. Some were incredibly powerful, such as Eternal Attainment, while others, like Weak and Feeble, were fairly useless.

Besides drawing once a month, he could save up his draws.

Saving for three months let him draw four abilities.

Saving for six months let him draw nine.

And saving for a full year let him draw twenty.

Over the past six years, he had had a total of 120 chances to draw.

Lin Hao had obtained quite a few abilities he found useful.

This year, nine children in Holy Soul Village needed to awaken their martial souls. Lin Hao was last in line.

The nine children stood in a row, awakening their martial souls one by one from right to left. The eighth child's turn had come.

That child was Tang San.

Tang San was sturdy and rosy-cheeked, standing noticeably half a head taller than other children his age. He looked nothing like the malnourished child in the original story.

Lin Hao had noticed something unusual about Tang San when they first spent time together at a little over two years old.

As a transmigrator from the Tang Sect of another world, Tang San should have had an adult mind and no interest in playing with children his age.

But however closely Lin Hao watched, he saw nothing that set Tang San apart from an ordinary child.

Tang San behaved just like a normal two-year-old.

After spending a few more months with him, Lin Hao became certain that Tang San was an ordinary child.

He just didn't know whether the Tang San from Shu Mountain had failed to take over his body or had died when he jumped into Ghost's Sorrow, never transmigrating at all.

As for whether Tang San now possessed the Tang Sect's teachings, Lin Hao didn't know. At any rate, he had never seen Tang San practice them.

Since the Tang San from Shu Mountain had failed to take over his body, the original Tang San naturally had not spent his childhood running to the hill behind the village to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Aside from a rough first year with Tang Hao, Tang San had been well cared for over the following five years. He had meat to eat almost every day.

That was why Tang San was so sturdy now. Lin Hao had benefited quite a bit from it too.

The martial souls Tang San awakened were still the same as in the original story: an incompletely awakened Blue Silver Emperor and a Clear Sky Hammer.

When Tang San awakened Blue Silver Grass along with Innate Full Soul Power, Su Yuntao, the famously blind Douluo, delivered his classic line.

"Innate Full Soul Power. What a shame your martial soul is the useless Blue Silver Grass. Step aside."

Su Yuntao shook his head and looked toward the last child awaiting awakening: Lin Hao.

"Next!"

Lin Hao stepped into the awakening array and held out his right hand.

As Su Yuntao continued pouring Soul Power into the array, golden light streamed into Lin Hao's body.

As the light entered him, Lin Hao felt two forces burst forth from deep within his core.

The next moment, martial souls appeared in both his hands. Lin Hao immediately concealed the one in his left.

A Heavenly Blade resembling a heavy black ruler suddenly appeared in his right hand.

The martial soul that had formed in Lin Hao's left hand was called Life Evergreen Vine, a demigod-level plant martial soul imbued with the ultimate attribute of life.

Life Evergreen Vine.

It was a supreme spiritual plant that could grow only on Life Crystals. It grew a mere inch every thousand years, making it an exceptionally precious material that could only be found by chance.

Ferocious Beasts mostly used it to heal the wounds to their core left by heavenly tribulations. For a human, consuming one inch of its main stem could heal such wounds and add a hundred years to their lifespan.

Lin Hao owed his possession of this supreme life-type plant martial soul to the Word Entry Lottery System's beginner gift pack.

Without that gift pack, he might never have obtained the Life Evergreen Vine martial soul through the abilities he drew alone.

Su Yuntao studied the unusual blade martial soul that had just awakened in Lin Hao's right hand. One look told him it was high quality.

His eyes lit up.

"Quick! Put your martial soul away with your mind and test your Innate Soul Power!"

Lin Hao put his martial soul away.

Su Yuntao took out a crystal ball and pressed it into Lin Hao's hand, watching him expectantly.

The instant the crystal ball touched Lin Hao's hand, it began drawing Soul Power from his body.

As Lin Hao's Soul Power poured in, the crystal ball shone brighter and brighter until it became a dazzling orb of light.

"Innate Full Soul Power! I can't believe my luck today. Two children with Innate Full Soul Power awakened at once."

After exclaiming in surprise, Su Yuntao hurried to invite Lin Hao to join Spirit Hall.

"Lin Hao, what's your martial soul called? Would you like to join Spirit Hall?"

Lin Hao scratched his head, looking troubled.

"Um, Uncle Tao, my martial soul is called Heavenly Blade. I don't want to join any faction just yet."

The excitement on Su Yuntao's face froze for a moment before giving way to an understanding smile.

"That's fine. Study in Notting City first and broaden your horizons. Then you can decide whether to join Spirit Hall.

If you want to join Spirit Hall later, come find me at the Notting City branch."

"All right, the awakenings are over. Everyone can head out."

"Lin Hao, Tang San, you two wait a moment."

Su Yuntao took out a pen and some documents, wrote on them quickly, stamped them, and handed them to the boys.

"Here. These are your martial soul awakening certificates."

Lin Hao and Tang San accepted them. Su Yuntao began packing up, preparing to travel to the next village for its awakenings.

He packed quickly. By the time Lin Hao and Tang San finished reading their certificates, he was ready.

When Su Yuntao headed outside, the two hurried after him.

As they left Spirit Hall, they came face-to-face with Old Jack, the chief of Holy Soul Village, who had been waiting for them.

"Master, how did it go? Did any children awaken Innate Soul Power this year?"

Su Yuntao smiled at Old Jack.

"Yes, two of them. Both have Innate Full Soul Power.

One has an unusual long blade, and the other has Blue Silver Grass."

"Blue Silver Grass may be a useless martial soul, but Innate Full Soul Power is still Innate Full Soul Power. Even if he only obtains a ten-year soul ring, he can become a soul master and collect a monthly stipend from Spirit Hall. He'll be able to live well enough."

Old Jack beamed when he heard that two children had awakened Innate Soul Power. Even when he learned that one of them had the useless Blue Silver Grass martial soul, his delight at their Innate Full Soul Power did not fade.

Just as Master Su had said, Innate Soul Power meant a child could become a soul master, even with a useless martial soul.
