Douluo Continent.
Heaven Dou Empire, Notting City.
The gates of the Spirit Hall branch, the Martial Soul awakening grounds.
Lu Ming was utterly shocked, confirming the situation before his eyes over and over until he was finally convinced he had truly time-traveled.
Moreover, he had caught up just in time for the last batch of Spirit Hall awakenings, stirring a sense of excitement within him.
In his past life, Lu Ming was lying in bed reading a Douluo Continent fanfiction, taxing his kidneys to the limit.
Just as he was about to sleep, a panel suddenly popped up.
[If you transmigrated to the world of Douluo Continent, and could choose four out of the following nine options, what would you choose?] 1. Random Twin Martial Souls. 2. Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's complete theoretical knowledge; knowledge can change fate, learning achieves the future. 3. Favorability of Shrek's Three Beauties. 4. Favorability of Spirit Hall's Three Beauties. 5. A random Titled Douluo protector among the beauties of Douluo. 6. Random Immortal Herbs. 7. External Soul Bone: Wind-Thunder Wings, left wind and right thunder, moving at will. 8. Tang San's duplicate Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. 9. Three self-created soul skills matching your Martial Soul.
Lu Ming took a mere 0.000001 seconds to make his choices.
1, 5, 7, 9.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's theories? Not even a dog would choose them!
As for the favorability of Shrek and Spirit Hall's beauties, strong people relied on their own charm; did the handsome gents in front of the screens need such things!
Immortal Herbs were even more nonsense; relying solely on Dugu Bo, the weakest Titled Douluo, how could he protect them? Weren't they just his own back garden now!
As for Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, it was slightly useful, but not much!
It looked like nine choices, but in truth, it was no different from heaven handing you your meals.
Lu Ming rubbed his hands with a grinning smile, eagerly anticipating what his Twin Martial Souls would look like.
Meanwhile, dozens of meters away...
"Little San, what are you looking at?"
Yu Xiaogang, who had just returned from the Soul Hunting Forest, looked somewhat pale at the moment. He had nearly lost his life out there this time.
Yet he found that Tang San was actually zoning out, failing to properly listen to this grandmaster's taught Martial Soul theoretical knowledge.
Thump.
He knocked him right on the head on the spot.
Tang San touched his head, feeling a bit of pain.
"Teacher, that kid's gaze is so unusual; even I'm somewhat surprised!"
Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls, Innate Full Soul Power, and was even Tang Hao's son. For someone to be able to attract Little San's attention—
Yu Xiaogang curiously looked over in that direction.
Coarse linen clothes, a thin and small figure, hopping around; at a glance, he was clearly not good cultivation material.
Yu Xiaogang gave a cough.
"Little San, you are the genius, the practitioner of teacher's theories."
He sighed, deciding to let Tang San understand while also taking the opportunity to show off a bit.
"Yet your judgment is somewhat poor. You must learn more Martial Soul knowledge from your mentor in the future."
With that, Yu Xiaogang pulled Tang San and walked toward the awakening grounds with his head held high.
"Stop!"
Two soldiers blocked the flat-topped Yu Xiaogang.
"Spirit Hall is currently conducting awakenings; unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach!"
Without even looking at the two guards, Yu Xiaogang slowly pulled out a token with his right hand, its pattern composed of a sword, hammer, dragon, chrysanthemum, ghost shadow, and crown.
A stormy surge instantly rose in the hearts of those two soldiers, and both of them dropped to their knees in worship.
All because seeing this token was like the Pope arriving in person!
The teacher responsible for awakening Martial Souls also noticed it and knelt down as well.
Yu Xiaogang glanced slightly at Tang San. Tang San was shocked, excited, and full of admiration. Yu Xiaogang was quite satisfied with this, as it served to redeem his awkwardness from the Soul Hunting Forest.
"You all take your work very seriously. I'll handle the awakening for this remaining child, get up!"
Yu Xiaogang walked with a swagger, and the teacher responsible for the awakening bowed and scraped, feeling somewhat flattered. Possessing this token undoubtedly meant a supreme powerhouse on the mainland.
If the higher-ups saw his work attitude, perhaps he could get a promotion tomorrow.
"This way, Elder. It is this child's supreme blessing to have you awaken him. He's stepped in some dog shit—"
"You talk too much!"
Yu Xiaogang coldly flung out a single sentence, giving Tang San's young soul a huge shock.
Teacher is mighty!
"Kid, step into the formation. Although I don't think you can possibly have soul power to cultivate, I have to give my disciple a lesson."
Lu Ming's expression darkened. Where did this flat-top pop out of? What bad luck.
At the same time, he also noticed Tang San, who was currently operating the Purple Demon Eyes and sizing Lu Ming up without the slightest concealment.
Damn! Fucking freak!
Lu Ming stood in the formation, and the halo of light began to shine brightly.
Gangzi, who had only broken through to level 29 at over fifty years old, also revealed his two yellow soul rings.
The people around were dumbfounded. At this age, he was actually still just a two-ringed soul master? The teacher previously responsible for awakening martial souls rubbed his eyes even harder.
This wasn't right, was it?
Shouldn't this be a Titled Douluo? How could he only be at level 29!
The teacher only took three seconds to figure it out. This person must have had a distinguished status, perhaps being a direct descendant of one of the Upper Three Sects.
Thinking this way, his expression eased slightly.
As his soul power was guided, Lu Ming felt two things inside his body trying to emerge, but they constantly failed to break through.
Yu Xiaogang was already somewhat weak due to the previous poisoning, yet he considered himself quite capable of just awakening a martial soul, but what was this situation now?
"Come over and lend a hand!"
Yu Xiaogang roared at the teacher standing to the side. This person was so tactless, he deserved never to be promoted!
With another person joining in, the martial soul inside Lu Ming's body also borrowed the force to burst out.
"Aang~"
A massive dragon roar resounded through the heavens and earth.
Lu Ming turned his head back. It was a giant dragon golden from head to toe. Its golden vertical pupils slightly opened, causing everyone present to hunch over their bodies, not daring to look directly at it.
Luo Sanpao let out a miserable cry and materialized.
"My Sanpao is actually dreading—fearing this golden giant dragon, yet at the same time, it's also excited."
A bold conjecture surfaced in Yu Xiaogang's head.
"This martial soul is an existence even more powerful than the Bright Sacred Dragon, which is Luo Sanpao's final form!"
"If I can let Sanpao acquire even a sliver of that bloodline, perhaps I will have the possibility of breaking through my bottleneck, and in the future, even possess my own title!"
This was the Golden Dragon King!
The martial soul arranged by the system turned out to be the Golden Dragon King? It wasn't the Golden Dragon!
This was too awesome!
However, before Lu Ming could be happy for long, his stomach let out a rumbling sound.
It seemed he had also inherited the Golden Dragon King's massive appetite.
However, unlike Tang Wulin, Lu Ming didn't need to consume heavenly treasures and earthly materials to unlock seals.
"No, I'm too hungry!"
Since the martial soul was already awakened, the top priority right now was to fill his stomach.
"Kid... Little friend, would you be willing to take me as your master?"
Losing that pressure, Gangzi scrambled up quickly, too rushed to even pat off the mud and ash stained all over his black clothes, terrified that Lu Ming would vanish.
Lu Ming glared fiercely.
Not only had this Gangzi abruptly appeared to muscle in and awaken his martial soul,
now he even wanted him to take him as master, delaying him from eating.
If he weren't so hungry that he lacked the strength, he would have landed a punch on Gangzi right now!
Yu Xiaogang patted his head. He had been too direct; time to display his teaching credentials below!
"I am the proposer of the Ten Great Core Theories of Martial Souls, and people respectfully call me the Grandmaster!"
"At the same time, I am also an Honorary Elder of Spirit Hall!"
"Furthermore, I am a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
"Today, my sect already possesses a genius with innate full soul power!"
Yu Xiaogang slowly closed his eyes tight, imagining the scene of the child before him kneeling on the ground to take him as master.
