Genius Trader Sun Shan!

"Cold winds blew through downtrodden stocks; spring and autumn stocks rang out as the youth returned!"

The genius trader Sun Shan had reincarnated on the Douluo Continent.

Today, when Sun Shan awakened his Martial Soul, he had made just such a declaration of resolve.

"Innate Full Soul Power, but why have I never seen this Martial Soul before? Could it be another trash Martial Soul?!"

Su Yuntao was greatly astonished.

"So many strange things this year. Innate Full Soul Power-first there was Blue Silver Grass, and now this thing has popped up."

In contrast to Su Yuntao's confusion.

Sun Shan could barely contain his excitement as he looked at the Martial Soul in his palm.

It was all because the Martial Soul he had awakened was actually a kitten holding a strange, glowing panel.

A cat whose eyes revealed endless greed.

Gold-coin-shaped runes shone in the kitten's vertical pupils.

The glowing panel in its paws changed constantly, several candlestick lines rising and falling across it.

Whenever the lines rose, red numbers flickered incessantly, and large red bars grew upward.

At those moments, the greedy cat cried out excitedly.

It was as excited as if it had smoked ten sticks of catnip.

It muttered strange words that only Sun Shan could understand.

"Fortune soaring, Soul Power positions growing, tenfold potential-we'll ascend sooner or later!"

And whenever the lines fell, chive-green numbers flickered, and large green bars plunged downward.

The cat drooped its head, arched its back, and hissed furiously, muttering:

"Don't panic. A technical correction. Buy the dip, buy the hell out of the dip!"

That was right. The Martial Soul Sun Shan had awakened was called Stock-Simulating Meow Meow!

And the glowing panel in the cat's paws was unmistakably something he had often used in his previous life.

The world's largest paid-knowledge platform, where countless prodigies had tried to prove themselves.

With the awakening of his Martial Soul, Sun Shan immediately understood its endless marvelous uses.

Ability one: it could convert information on any Soul Master's Soul Power cultivation, Soul Bones, Soul Ring ages, Self-Created Soul Skills, and so on into a "Soul Power Value" for listing and trading.

Ability two: by investing Soul Power, Soul Bones, and the like, he could make "bets" and "Bearish Outlook" trades on listed Soul Masters, participating in their cultivation.

Suppose Sun Shan was particularly optimistic about a certain Soul Master and placed a bet on him.

When that Soul Master advanced in cultivation, gained various opportunities that sent his combat strength soaring, or even became a Titled Douluo.

At every stage, he could simultaneously receive corresponding rewards.

Increased Soul Power Levels, Soul Bone rewards, or even increased Soul Ring ages!

Likewise, when Sun Shan was extremely pessimistic about a certain Soul Master, or even believed the fellow was at risk of falling.

He could take a Bearish Outlook position on him, and once his cultivation suffered damage and regressed, or he even died.

He could likewise receive massive rewards in return.

Ability three: it periodically generated Soul Reports on listed Soul Masters.

That Soul Master's Soul Power Level, Martial Soul type, Soul Ring configuration, and even suggestions for optimizing that Soul Master's future development path-everything was included.

The main selling point was that Sun Shan knew everything the Soul Master himself knew, and also knew what the Soul Master himself did not.

Once any Soul Master on the entire Douluo Continent was listed, that person would have no secrets whatsoever in Sun Shan's eyes.

He would stand inherently undefeated in information warfare!

"This Martial Soul is way too heaven-defying!" Sun Shan exclaimed sincerely.

If I add suitable Soul Rings to it, what other effects could it gain?

But at that thought, Sun Shan found himself in a bind again.

As a commoner with no one to rely on, obtaining my first Soul Ring will still be a little difficult.

Sun Shan walked outside with his brows tightly knitted, thinking to himself.

Just then, Su Yuntao suddenly stepped in front of Sun Shan again:

"My young friend, would you be interested in joining the Angel Investor Plan our Spirit Hall has launched?"

"Huh?" Sun Shan froze. "What's going on here?!"

Su Yuntao explained:

"Our Spirit Hall has considerable resources. Any Soul Master with potential will receive corresponding assistance as long as they join Spirit Hall."

"When the time comes, head to the Spirit Hall Branch in Nuoding City. The Soul Masters there will help you obtain your first Soul Ring and provide related financial assistance."

Hearing of such favorable treatment, Sun Shan was immediately deeply impressed and declared:

"My loyalty to Spirit Hall! Victory to Spirit Hall!"

After all, once Spirit Hall was destroyed in later generations, never mind Gold Soul Coin subsidies for Soul Masters.

Even a genius Soul Master like Jiang Nannan, who could enter Shrek Academy, had to pay a steep price for a single pill.

By comparison, Spirit Hall, which awakened Martial Souls for free across the entire continent and even distributed allowances and subsidies.

Was practically an organization of saints, all right?

After some twists and turns, Sun Shan successfully took up a position at Nuoding City's Spirit Hall.

With the help of Spirit Hall's Soul Masters.

Sun Shan soon found a Soul Beast suitable for Stock-Simulating Meow Meow in the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

A hundred-year-old mutated Blue Silver Grass.

"Are you sure you want to choose this hundred-year-level mutated Blue Silver Grass for your first Soul Ring?"

The Spirit Hall Soul Master was thoroughly puzzled.

"I have to remind you, Blue Silver Grass is universally recognized as trash across the continent. Even mutated, it's still trash, unfit for any great responsibility."

Sun Shan nodded, clearly having made up his mind.

The very reason he was so decisive was that he had sensed his Martial Soul's extreme craving for this mutated Blue Silver Grass.

When Sun Shan approached the mutated Blue Silver Grass with a sickle in hand, he immediately understood everything.

He finally understood why his Martial Soul craved this thing so much.

As it turned out, this so-called mutated Blue Silver Grass looked exactly like chives.

A hundred-year-old, lush green, super-old chive!

Sun Shan exclaimed:

"What a perfect match for my first Soul Ring."

The sickle swept past, and Sun Shan harvested his first handful of chives since arriving on the Douluo Continent.

A lush green Soul Ring immediately appeared.

The Spirit Hall Soul Master was shocked at the sight:

"What kind of joke is this? Soul Rings of this color don't exist!"

Sun Shan sat cross-legged and soon completed the absorption.

He immediately summoned his Martial Soul, Stock-Simulating Meow Meow, and a lush green halo perched atop the plump cat's head.

It bathed the big white fluffball's face in a ghastly green.

Perhaps because the Soul Beast had mutated.

Unexpectedly, this chive Soul Ring actually brought Sun Shan two skills in one go.

Skill one: open information, real-time platform sharing.

No matter where that Soul Master was, as long as there was Blue Silver Grass or other green vegetation nearby.

He could use his spiritual power to log directly into the "Soul Power Trading Center" manifested by Sun Shan's Martial Soul, Stock-Simulating Meow Meow, and trade.

Skill two: collect Soul Power tax.

Whenever any Soul Master invested Soul Power to trade on other listed Soul Masters.

Sun Shan could extract a "tiny" amount of Soul Power from each transaction as a tax.

This extracted Soul Power would feed back into Sun Shan, helping him improve his Soul Power cultivation.

Seeing these two skills, Sun Shan also formed a rough plan for his future cultivation path.

He suddenly remembered a story.

A certain place claimed to have discovered vast gold deposits, attracting countless prospectors to pan for gold.

Did those prospectors get rich in the end?

Sun Shan did not know, but he knew the people selling shovels had certainly become dripping rich.

Now it was his turn to give the people of this continent a little "gold mine" shock, then sell them shovels.

The basic framework of the Douluo Continent's "Soul Power Trading Center" was complete. Next came recruiting people.

At that thought, Sun Shan chuckled:

"Prodigies of the Douluo World, I'm coming to harvest you!"
