Douluo: My Custom Achievement System
Having no Soul Power meant he had no chance whatsoever of becoming a Soul Master.
Coming to a world with supernatural power only to find that he could never cultivate was painful.
"Was there really no way?"
Just as despair began to rise in Jiang Yi's heart, a voice rang out like a savior.
"Jiang Yi's Martial Soul awakening detected. One achievement obtained. The Custom Achievement System has successfully recognized its owner."
"Achievement name: Jiang Yi's Blue Silver Grass (Blue Silver Grass belonging exclusively to Jiang Yi, a one-of-a-kind Trash Martial Soul with no equal anywhere.)"
"Achievement reward: 0.1 level of Soul Power."
Chapter 3: Level 1, the Custom Achievement System
Jiang Yi was stunned. When he heard the voice suddenly appear in his mind, his pupils instantly widened.
Was this a hallucination?
That was his first reaction. Having no Soul Power had sent his emotions soaring and plummeting, giving him the hallucination that he had a system.
But the pale blue panel in front of him and the faint trace of power that had appeared in his body both told him this was no hallucination.
The Custom Achievement System-is this my golden finger? Once he had confirmed it was real, Jiang Yi's heart stirred with excitement.
As someone who had transmigrated, he had tried calling for his golden finger more than once when he first arrived, but sadly, there had been no response.
He had already accepted the fact that he didn't have a golden finger.
Jiang Yi stood rooted to the spot. She Fei and Jiang Nannan both thought he couldn't accept reality and that something had gone wrong with him.
"Brother Jiang Yi." Seeing this, Jiang Nannan forgot her timidity and ran to his side in a panic, taking his hand.
Feeling the warmth of her hand, Jiang Yi managed to suppress his excitement.
"Nannan, I'm all right," Jiang Yi reassured her softly.
"Jiang Nannan, it's your turn to be tested," She Fei said directly, seeing that Jiang Yi had returned to normal.
He had originally intended to step in and rouse Jiang Yi, but he hadn't expected him to recover in such a short time.
Such strength of character was indeed rare in a child, but without Soul Power, even the finest character was of no use.
"Brother Jiang Yi, don't worry. Nannan will definitely awaken Soul Power. No matter what, I'll always take care of you and stay with you forever," Jiang Nannan promised, her little face solemn.
Hearing Jiang Nannan's childlike promise warmed Jiang Yi's heart.
"Thank you, Nannan," Jiang Yi said with a faint smile.
"Uncle She, could you let me test my Soul Power one more time?" After saying that, however, he didn't leave. Instead, he boldly made his request.
She Fei frowned at the request. He didn't understand what was going on with Jiang Yi.
Had he still not recovered?
"You..." She Fei had intended to refuse outright.
But when he saw Jiang Yi's utterly resolute gaze, She Fei sighed inwardly.
He's just a child. As expected, accepting it completely isn't so simple. In that case, I'll let him test again and help him accept reality.
She Fei handed him the crystal ball, his expression solemn. "Soul Power tests are almost never wrong. This is your last chance. You should accept reality."
"Thank you, Uncle She." Jiang Yi nodded his thanks in response.
But he knew his own situation. Nothing unexpected might happen with anyone else, but he was different.
He placed his palm on the crystal ball. This time, the sensation was completely different from before.
His body, which had been utterly still before, naturally released power under the crystal ball's influence, letting it flow into the ball.
As the power flowed in, the dim crystal ball lit up with a faint glow.
"This!"
She Fei stared at the crystal ball in disbelief. Though faint, the Soul Power contained in that light was real.
"He really does have Soul Power. Could I have seen it wrong just now?"
Sensing the faint Soul Power, She Fei couldn't help doubting himself.
"Uncle She, I have Soul Power, right?" Jiang Yi asked, pretending to be hopeful.
She Fei looked up and said, "That's right, you have Soul Power, but it's very weak. Probably only level 0.1."
"The reason the first test didn't detect it might have been because it was too weak. I'm sorry."
After all, if he hadn't agreed to Jiang Yi's request just now, someone with Soul Power would have been overlooked.
Still, She Fei felt he had been unfairly blamed. In the history of the Douluo Continent, there really didn't seem to have been anyone with level 0.1 Soul Power. The lowest had been half a level.
"That's wonderful! Brother Jiang Yi has Soul Power!" Jiang Nannan cried, happy for him.
"Thank you, Uncle She," Jiang Yi said with an excited smile.
His excited smile reflected his heartfelt joy, not because of the level 0.1 Soul Power, but because of the system that had brought it to him. With a system, he would have limitless possibilities.
"Jiang Nannan, it's your turn to be tested," She Fei said again.
With Jiang Yi's example before her, Jiang Nannan was no longer worried. She ran into the awakening formation, unable to wait.
Soul Power flowed in once more, and a dazzling light swallowed Jiang Nannan's body.
When the light faded, her appearance had changed drastically.
A faint red light covered her entire body, her eyes had turned red, her ears had lengthened, fluffy white hair had grown around them, and her figure had become more slender.
"This is a Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul?" She Fei looked at the transformed Jiang Nannan and immediately made his judgment.
It really is a rabbit. Brother Jiang Yi didn't lie to me after all, Jiang Nannan thought happily.
"Come, let's test your Soul Power," She Fei said at once.
His tone was far more eager this time. After all, the Soft Bone Rabbit was different from Blue Silver Grass. It was a high-level Martial Soul.
Anyone who awakened a Soft Bone Rabbit was bound to have good Innate Soul Power.
Jiang Nannan obediently placed her hand on the crystal ball, and a dazzling light burst forth.
"Level eight Innate Soul Power." She Fei was full of delight.
He hadn't expected that the promise he had made as a favor
would actually bring him two Soul Masters.
Especially a genius like Jiang Nannan, with level eight Innate Soul Power.
His own Innate Soul Power back then had only been level six.
"Brother Jiang Yi, my Innate Soul Power is level eight!"
Jiang Nannan excitedly threw herself into Jiang Yi's arms.
"Nannan, you're amazing," Jiang Yi praised her.
"Ahem, ahem." Just then, She Fei coughed twice.
The two turned to look at him. She Fei wore a solemn expression.
"You've both awakened Soul Power. What are your plans from here on?"
Jiang Yi and Jiang Nannan exchanged a glance, then Jiang Yi said, "We'll follow your arrangements, Uncle She."
"Good!" A smile appeared on She Fei's face for the first time.
He knew that the help he had casually offered before hadn't been wasted.
If he could nurture Jiang Nannan in the future, the support of a powerful Soul Master would surely help him advance another step.
Whether in his standing in the army or in his own strength.
But if he wanted a return, he naturally had to make a corresponding investment.
He had helped the two awaken their Martial Souls and had continued to support them financially.
Now, as long as he kept it up, he would surely reap a return.
"You both have Soul Power, so I'll arrange for you to attend Lingshan Junior Academy."
"Spirit Mountain City is rather far from your village. I have an unused house in the city, and your mothers can be brought here."
"What do you think of that arrangement?"
She Fei spoke to Jiang Nannan with a faint smile.
Jiang Nannan's eyes lit up when she heard She Fei's arrangements.
But she didn't agree immediately. Instead, she first looked at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi nodded without hesitation. He had no complaints about what She Fei was doing.
In anyone's eyes, Jiang Nannan, a genius with level eight Innate Soul Power, was the more worthwhile investment.
He was able to enjoy this treatment thanks to Jiang Nannan.
After all, the friendship between his father and She Fei couldn't have lasted this long.
"Thank you, Uncle She," Jiang Nannan said sincerely at last.
She Fei's eyes flashed as he watched, and he nodded slightly with a faint smile.
"In a moment, I'll send someone to get you settled. Your mothers will be brought here soon too."
After a few more words, Jiang Yi led Jiang Nannan out of the tent.
"Whoosh!"
A gust of cold wind blew past. Though Jiang Yi's clothes were thin, he didn't feel the slightest chill.
Chapter 4: A Snail's First Steps on the Soul Path, Purifying Soul Power
"How did it go?"
Seeing Jiang Yi and Jiang Nannan come out, Qiaona hurried forward, unable to wait.
"Grandpa Village Chief, Brother Jiang Yi and I both awakened Soul Power!" Jiang Nannan ran over to Qiaona on her little legs and spoke happily.
"Both of you?" Qiaona looked at Jiang Yi in delight.
Jiang Yi nodded with a smile, and Qiaona immediately burst out laughing. "Hahaha! Our Azure Village has actually produced two Soul Masters!"
Qiaona's graying hair and beard shook, and his skin wrinkled like a shriveled orange.
Soul Masters-and two of them at that-were a tremendous blessing for Azure Village, which had never produced a Soul Master before.
Qiaona's voice was loud, and he made almost no effort to hide it.
When the soldiers nearby heard him, envy appeared on their faces.
There was no one who didn't want to awaken a Martial Soul, but unfortunately, none of them had such an opportunity.
"Grandpa Village Chief, we..." Once Qiaona had finished celebrating, Jiang Yi told him what She Fei had said.
"I didn't expect Officer She Fei to think so highly of you."
"In that case, stay in the city and work hard at your cultivation. Don't let Officer She's nurturing go to waste," Qiaona urged earnestly as soon as he had heard him out.
"We'll definitely work hard," Jiang Yi said, nodding seriously.
Staying in Spirit Mountain City was undoubtedly best for them. Not only was it safe, but they could also receive a better education.
It was also a good thing for Aunt Rou's health.
Jiang Yi had always been deeply worried about Aunt Rou's heart condition, but his age had left him unable to do anything about it.
But now he had awakened his Martial Soul, and more importantly, obtained a system. He would never let the events of the original story happen.
They waited outside the tent, and soon a middle-aged man in a long robe walked over.
He was completely different from the other soldiers, both in dress and bearing. He had none of their killing aura, but carried himself with scholarly refinement instead.
"I'm Lord She Fei's adjutant. You two may call me Lin Ye. I'll help you with the arrangements from here on," Lin Ye said gently.
When Qiaona saw Lin Ye arrive, he said to Jiang Yi and Jiang Nannan, "Little Yi, take Nannan and go with Adjutant Lin. I'll head back to Azure Village first."
