Chapter 1 A Useless Martial Soul?
Soul Village, Martial Soul Awakening Hall.
"Martial Soul Hoe, no Soul Power. Next up, Wang Shuo!"
A fair-skinned child dressed in black walked onto the Martial Soul Awakening Array. He had a physique that surpassed that of children his age.
Su Yuntao, the deacon of the Spirit Hall, didn't pay much attention to the child in front of him. For someone who had seen too many children, there was no difference between them.
"Don't be nervous, focus on feeling the changes in your body."
Su Yuntao held the crystal and simultaneously poured soul power into the awakening array. The next moment, the awakening array emitted a dazzling light.
Standing in the Awakening Array, Wang Shuo felt a strange power surging into his body, and his body was instantly activated under the impact of this soul power.
In an instant, a powerful force burst forth from his body, and a dazzling white light shone from his body, illuminating the entire Martial Soul Awakening Hall.
Standing in front of the Awakening Array, Su Yuntao gaped, his face filled with shock and excitement: "My god! What kind of martial spirit has been awakened? To have such a huge reaction! Could it be..."
This awakening was the most extravagant he had ever seen in all his years. Could it be that he had awakened some kind of top-tier martial soul?
At this moment, Su Yuntao was overjoyed; he could already imagine the thrill of his promotion.
As the blinding white light dissipated from Wang Shuo's body, his already robust physique became even fuller and rounder.
Su Yuntao immediately rushed to Wang Shuo, gently patted his shoulder, and asked curiously, "Little friend, what kind of martial soul have you awakened? A beast martial soul or a weapon martial soul?"
Wang Shuo finally snapped out of the pleasant sensation of awakening his martial soul. He immediately tried to sense his martial soul, but his body did not react at all.
"Where is my martial soul? No, I did feel a strange power just now." Wang Shuo's eyes showed shock. He began to doubt whether he had awakened his martial soul.
Seeing that Wang Shuo did not answer, Su Yuntao assumed that he had been frightened by the awakening of his martial spirit, so he prepared to gently and patiently comfort him.
While still deep in thought, Wang Shuo noticed the huge changes that had taken place in his body; his muscles had become fuller and more powerful.
"Could it be that I have awakened my original martial soul?"
Wang Shuo then realized that he hadn't lacked a martial spirit, but had awakened a physical martial spirit, which seemed to be his body.
"Lord Su Yuntao, my martial spirit seems to be my body."
Wang Shuo looked at Su Yuntao somewhat timidly. He wasn't entirely sure if he had awakened his original martial soul yet, so this was the only answer he could give for now.
Su Yuntao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and he even doubted that he had heard it wrong.
"Body Martial Soul? What kind of Martial Soul is this? I've never heard of it before, this is the first time I've encountered it." Su Yuntao stared at Wang Shuo and began to analyze.
"If it's neither a weapon spirit nor a beast spirit, then it can only be a useless spirit."
Su Yuntao sighed helplessly; his initial anticipation had completely vanished.
"Alas, child, this is a useless martial soul, what a pity."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding children of the same age burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, it's just a useless martial soul. I thought it was some powerful martial soul!"
"This is hilarious! All that training day and night resulted in a useless martial soul! Hahahaha!"
"Hahahaha!"
"It's not even as good as my Blue Silver Grass, that's hilarious!"
The jeers from the crowd were jarring, but Wang Shuo stood ramrod straight, his hands, hanging by his sides, slowly clenching into fists.
He felt no shame, because he was a time traveler.
Wang Shuo only realized he had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent when he was three years old, and later learned that the current Pope of the Spirit Hall was Bibi Dong.
He then realized that he was in the era of Douluo 1, and that he was in the same era as the protagonist Tang San.
Wang Shuo's impression of Tang San was actually based on the image depicted in the comics. Back then, the whole class was scrambling to read a single Douluo Continent comic.
He only liked reading comics and had never read the novel, so he didn't have a deep understanding of the plot of Douluo Continent I.
He knew that this place was full of geniuses and opportunities, the most well-known being the immortal herbs and the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, as well as the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor leg bone of Tang San's biological mother.
These were all mentioned in fanfiction he had read in his previous life; every protagonist would try to seize the opportunity to obtain immortal herbs.
Wang Shuo did not want to rely on chance to improve his strength. He wanted to rely on his own efforts to cultivate to the title of Douluo, and even become a god!
So after learning that he had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, he began to train day and night in order to become a powerful Soul Master.
For the past three years, he has become a madman and a laughing stock in the eyes of the villagers, who all laugh at him for being too stupid.
Three years of training have allowed him to surpass children his age, and now he has awakened a true martial soul.
The laughter in the hall had not stopped. Su Yuntao, whose plan had failed, was already in a bad mood, and this commotion made him even more frustrated.
"Shut up, all of you! Next up, Liu Jiu."
Su Yuntao's shout silenced the hall, and all the children stood obediently at their feet.
"Lord Su Yuntao, I haven't tested my soul power yet!" Wang Shuo whispered a reminder.
"Why bother testing your soul power with a useless martial soul? Take it and test it!"
Although Su Yuntao had no expectations for this useless martial soul, he still handed the soul power crystal ball to Wang Shuo.
When Wang Shuo received the crystal ball, a faint blue light shone, reaching half of the crystal ball.
"Level 5 Soul Power! I never expected a useless Martial Soul to have Level 5 Soul Power!"
Su Yuntao exclaimed in surprise, completely unexpected that a seemingly useless martial soul would actually possess level five soul power, a talent even higher than his own.
"Kid, would you like to join the Spirit Hall?"
Su Yuntao invited Wang Shuo out of a desire to cherish talent, as it was a great achievement for a child with a level five soul power talent.
Wang Shuo pondered for a moment, then hesitated before politely declining Su Yuntao's invitation.
"I'm sorry, Lord Su Yuntao, I want to go to the academy to study."
Su Yuntao did not react after hearing this. In his opinion, children like to play, and there are many children of the same age in the academy.
"Alright! I look forward to you joining the Spirit Hall in the future. This is proof of your Spirit Awakening."
Su Yuntao handed Wang Shuo his Martial Soul Awakening Certificate, which stated that he possessed a Martial Soul Body and had a Soul Power Level 5.
After thanking him, Wang Shuo quietly stepped aside to think.
He is now basically certain that he has awakened his Body Martial Soul. He vaguely remembers that there are very few records of Body Martial Souls in the first era of Douluo, but the Body Sect was a very powerful sect in the second era of Douluo.
"Physical body, martial soul, a useless martial soul? No, this is not a useless martial soul!"
Wang Shuo clenched his fist, his eyes fixed firmly on the Martial Soul Awakening Certificate in his hand.
"I want the world to know that my martial spirit is the best in the world!"
