Custom Twin Martial Souls! (Please Keep Reading and Bookmark!)

"Chaowei! Do you even know how to drive? Where the hell did you take me? Am I even still in China!?"

Jiang Hao stared at the walls that let wind through on all sides and the rough cloth clothes full of holes, utterly bewildered.

All he had done was like a comment online saying Tang San was a freeloader who coasted to victory on his connections: the Tang Sect at the start, his parents in the middle, and the God King at the end.

But the moment he posted it, a Dayun truck sent him straight to the next world.

The problem was, he lived on the fourth floor. How the hell had it hit him up there!?

Was there no justice in the world?

The next moment, a sharp pain stabbed through his head, and countless images flashed through his mind.

After absorbing those memories, Jiang Hao wore a strange expression.

"Chaowei, you've got to be kidding me. I really transmigrated to Douluo!?"

"And I'm living in the same era as that freeloader Tang San!"

He had not taken over someone else's body. His memories of his past life had only just awakened.

In this life, Jiang Hao had no soul masters among his ancestors, and his parents had worked themselves sick and died young.

In other words, he had collected the full set of orphan, commoner, and poverty buffs!

"Oh, crap. Is this payback for trash-talking Tang San!?"

[Past-life memories awakened in the host. Infinite Suppression System activated!]

"A system!?"

Jiang Hao froze, then broke into a grin.

Sure enough, no one could be unlucky forever. His good fortune had finally arrived!

But what did "Infinite Suppression" mean?

[After a suppression target is bound, whenever that target displays an ability or background superior to the host's, the system will grant rewards until the host surpasses the target.]

"I see."

Jiang Hao rubbed his chin in thought.

So the system could not only give him power based on his target, but also build him a formidable background to help him reach the top.

Wait... why does that sound familiar?

Wasn't that exactly what he had criticized Tang San for in his past life?

Oh, crap. He had become Tang San!

Then again, what was wrong with coasting to victory?

If Tang San could rely on his connections all the way to becoming a God King, why couldn't Jiang Hao?

Everyone criticized Tang San, but whether in fiction or real life, everyone wanted to be Tang San.

[A nearby target has awakened Twin Martial Souls. Bind this target?]

"Someone awakened Twin Martial Souls?"

Jiang Hao paused, then realized who it was.

Wasn't that Tang San?

Jiang Hao lived in Piaoxiang Village, half an hour away from Shenghun Village.

He had thought he would need to meet Tang San in person to bind him. Instead, the system had gone ahead and swept the entire area.

"Bind him!"

[Suppression target bound. Suppression reward granted: Custom Twin Martial Souls!]

Custom Twin Martial Souls!?

System, you're incredible!

Jiang Hao held back his excitement and focused all his attention on the glowing screen before him.

[Please select your martial soul's traits.]

[Species:]

[Attribute:]

[Specialty: Raw power/Unique mechanics]

[Special ability: Domain ability/Ultimate attribute]

Custom Twin Martial Souls worked somewhat like allocating a character's starting traits in a game.

Jiang Hao would choose the abilities he wanted, and the system would create martial souls to match.

It felt a bit like opening a mystery box.

As everyone knew, the best pairing for Twin Martial Souls was usually one Beast Martial Soul and one Tool Martial Soul.

Naturally, his first choice would be a Beast Martial Soul.

As for the species...

Jiang Hao's first thought was dragons. On the Douluo Continent, dragons were synonymous with power.

But as a transmigrator, he was not particularly fond of those lizard-like dragons.

Besides, while dragons were powerful on the Douluo Continent, reaching the Divine Realm would make that lineage a definite liability.

Was there a soul beast that could rival dragons in strength while offering greater versatility?

You bet there was!

That brought him to the legendary foremost of the Four Divine Beasts: the sternest father of Auspicious Beasts, a divine beast whose body rivaled a dragon's, who could fight and heal, and who had the looks to match his strength.

The Kirin!

If the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was an Auspicious Beast among soul beasts, then the Kirin was an Auspicious Beast of heaven and earth—the ancestor of them all!

As the legendary foremost of the Four Divine Beasts, the Kirin's abilities were not necessarily inferior to a dragon's.

He was even more versatile, without the drawback of a dragon's rampant lust!

If the Kirin had one flaw, Jiang Hao could think of only one.

He was too perfect!

With that settled, Jiang Hao immediately began filling in the panel.

Species: Kirin.

Attribute...

After a moment's thought, inspiration struck. He tried entering "Five Elements" as the attribute.

It worked!

Did that count as exploiting a bug?

Forget it. If the system allowed it, it was fair game. Next.

As for the specialty, raw power was better than unique mechanics for a Beast Martial Soul.

After all, who wouldn't want their left fist to hit hard and their right fist to hit even harder?

Against overwhelming raw power, a tricky ability could afford only one mistake. Raw power could afford countless mistakes.

Of course, that depended on the martial soul.

For a Tool Martial Soul, unique mechanics had a slight edge over raw power.

For the final special ability, Jiang Hao chose a domain ability.

An Ultimate attribute sounded impressive, but early on, it would be a trap.

At best, it would add a flashy effect to his attacks. The price was slow cultivation and a risk of backlash at any moment.

How could that compare to a domain?

With that, Jiang Hao had finished choosing his first martial soul.

And with such a versatile first martial soul as his foundation, he could take his second to the extreme.

Species: Tool Martial Soul (spear)

Attribute: Destruction

Specialty: Unique mechanics

Special ability: Domain ability

Just as Jiang Hao submitted his choices, an old voice called from outside his door.

"Little Jiang, get up! Don't keep Lord Soul Master waiting."

Jiang Hao opened the door and saw a hunched old man. It was the chief of Piaoxiang Village, as well as his only neighbor and guardian.

Grandpa Wang.

"Grandpa Wang, are you here to drag my soul out this early?"

Jiang Hao rubbed his eyes, pretending he had just woken up.

Grandpa Wang smacked him on the forehead. "Drag your soul out? I'm making sure you don't miss the awakening ceremony! Lord Soul Master hardly ever comes here. If you sleep through it, you'll spend the rest of your life farming in this village!"

"What's wrong with farming? It's honest work."

Jiang Hao muttered, but he followed Grandpa Wang outside.

On the way, Grandpa Wang kept talking.

"You've had it rough, kid. Your parents died young, and the village pooled its money to raise you. We're all hoping you'll make something of yourself. When you meet Lord Soul Master, don't stand there like a block of wood. Be polite, understand?"

"Got it."

When they reached the village square, a crowd had already gathered. Most were children who had completed their awakenings.

Judging by their little faces, the results had not been good.

Grandpa Wang sighed at the sight. "Our village hasn't produced a soul master in ten years. At this rate, they'll put us last on the schedule next year."

Jiang Hao smiled. "Don't worry, Grandpa Wang. I'll definitely become a soul master today."

For once, Grandpa Wang did not argue. He smiled. "Yes. I believe in you."

"You'll make our village proud."
