Synopsis
It was simply absurd for a Soul Master to be forced to kill Soul Beasts to condense Soul Rings. Gu Ziyi didn’t believe in this maxim… “I will condense my own Soul Ring.” --- Title: 从自创魂环开始的斗罗 Author Original: 鱼的同音字 --- Note: I'm translating this and some other works due to the need for money. I saw that there is a work similar to this by another author, but he seems to have given up, I'll be continuing here. I'll be opening a P@treon later, for now that's all.

Chapter 1 - Martial Soul Talisman

**Chapter 1 - Martial Soul Talisman**

"Martial Soul – Sickle; Type: Tool; Innate Soul Power - Level 0..."

"Martial Soul – Rag; Type: Tool; Innate Soul Power - Level 0…"

"Martial Soul – Blue Silver Grass; Type: Useless Martial; Innate Soul Power, does not need to be tested…"

"Martial Soul – Ghost Needle Grass; Type: Tool; Innate Soul Power - Level 0…"

"…"

In the Spiritual Hall, in the old church of the village, children over 6 years old stepped forward one by one to awaken their Martial Souls.

Since each of the village companions was deemed unqualified to become a Soul Master, the remaining children began to feel nervous.

Among them was a child with black hair and eyes, named Gu Ziyi.

Of course, Gu Ziyi was his name in his previous life; his current identity is just an orphan in the Meilin Village. He has no real name, only the nickname 'Little Stone (Xiao Shitou).'

Gu Ziyi was reborn in another person's body in another world, more precisely, in this orphan named Little Stone (Xiao Shitou) yesterday. The previous soul passed away due to a venomous spider bite.

At least that is what Gu Ziyi believes.

However, this was actually a misunderstanding on Gu Ziyi's part. He reincarnated in this body, and it was only due to the suspended animation caused by the spider bite that Gu Ziyi recovered his memories of his past life.

And at the same time his memories were revived, Gu Ziyi's martial soul, which originally would not have Soul Power in this life, also began to undergo a mutation!

But Gu Ziyi himself had no idea about this occurrence.

Through his memories, Gu Ziyi learned that there were Martial Souls in this world. With Soul Masters, both the Tiandou Empire and the Martial Soul Hall exist. Gu Ziyi then concluded that he had traveled to the Douluo Continent.

The thing is, he doesn't know what date he is in, but as long as the Martial Soul Hall still exists, it definitely won't be after the Seven Monsters become gods.

Gu Ziyi was still very excited to know that he had traveled to the world of the Douluo Continent.

After all, he came to a world with extraordinary powers, so Gu Ziyi naturally longed for the power of Martial Souls and their derivation.

But remembering his identity, Gu Ziyi felt a bit worried, as the Douluo Continent is actually a world that pays attention to lineage and powerful Martial Souls (a very subjective matter).

Being a civilian, besides being an orphan in a small mountain village, he probably doesn't possess a trace of Soul Power.

Setting aside the quality of the Martial Soul, whether a person has the potential to become a Soul Master is mainly determined by whether the person has some foundation of Soul Power.

This is the Innate Soul Power! Therefore, Soul Power is the most important thing for a Soul Master.

Gu Ziyi didn't have much expectation about what kind of Martial Soul he could awaken.

Now he just hopes to have some Soul Power.

Soon it was Gu Ziyi's turn.

After entering the awakening formation, Gu Ziyi closed his eyes as instructed by the examiner from the Martial Soul Hall and felt his body.

Buzz—

Gu Ziyi shouldn't have been able to see anything when he closed his eyes.

However, Gu Ziyi visualized a bright light emerging in the infinite darkness. As the light gradually became brighter, Gu Ziyi saw a piece of yellow paper... No, it should be called a Talisman.

Fwosh, Fwosh, Fwosh——

After the talisman appeared, a huge variety of flames ignited around the talisman, even the talisman itself was being burned in flames.

Crackle——

Boom!!!—

As the flames took shape, numerous thunders fell on top of the talisman. For a time, flames and thunders continued to intertwine, forming an extremely spectacular image.

"A talisman? Not bad, it's not a scythe or something like that!"

"And it seems to be of exceptional quality…"

Gu Ziyi looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart suddenly filled with surprise.

This Martial Soul looks very strong at first glance, and its quality cannot be denied.

At the same time, Gu Ziyi also felt the awakening of a certain power in his body; this power began to flow unconsciously into Gu Ziyi's right hand.

Buzz—

Gu Ziyi opened his eyes, and all the strange phenomena he had felt earlier disappeared into thin air, as if they had never happened. Followed by a talisman slowly appearing (floating) in the palm of Gu Ziyi's right hand.

But compared to the various strange phenomena that accompanied the talisman in Gu Ziyi's perception, the talisman that appeared in Gu Ziyi's palm was ordinary, just a simple yellow talisman.

"This must be the mutation of the Paper Martial Soul, right?"

The examiner from the Martial Soul Hall, who came to preside over the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony, saw the emergence of 'Martial Soul – Paper' in Gu Ziyi's hand, and his eyes suddenly shone slightly.

Although common paper Martial Souls rarely have Soul Power, the child in front of him might have some potential to become a Soul Master due to the apparent mutated form of the Martial Soul.

"Put your hand on it and test your Innate Soul Power!"

As the examiner from the Martial Soul Hall spoke, he also handed the testing crystal to Gu Ziyi.

When Gu Ziyi saw this, he didn't hesitate and placed both hands directly on the testing crystal. He also wanted to know what his Innate Soul Power was.

Judging by the vision he just saw in his consciousness, his Martial Soul was definitely not simple. The quality of the Martial Soul is generally proportional to the Innate Soul Power, so his Innate Soul Power shouldn't be very low.

When Gu Ziyi placed his hands on the testing crystal, he felt a wave of energy in his body rushing toward the testing crystal.

Buzz—

Then the testing crystal lit up.

Seeing the testing crystal light up, Gu Ziyi suddenly opened his eyes in excitement and looked closely at the testing crystal, wanting to know what level his Innate Soul Power was.

"It's shining…"

"This is great. When it lights up, it means it has Soul Power…"

"Little Stone (Xiao Shitou) can become a Soul Master…"

"…"

Seeing the testing crystal light up, the other village companions were also happy for Gu Ziyi.

"The Martial Soul is a Mutated Paper Martial Soul; with Innate Soul Power - Level 1!"

"Congratulations, little boy, you have the potential to become a Soul Master in the future!"

The examiner from the Martial Soul Hall congratulated him but felt a bit disappointed in his heart.

As for the mutated Martial Soul, he thought there would be someone with a higher level of Innate Soul Power, but he didn't expect the child in front of him to only have Innate Soul Power of Level 1.

Moreover, the brightness of the testing crystal is considered the lowest among Level 1 Innate Soul Powers.

But no matter how low his power is, he still has some potential to become a Soul Master. After all, what matters is whether you have Soul Power.

"The Innate Soul Power is only Level 1?"

Gu Ziyi was surprised to hear this, disbelief written on his face.

From the vision he had in his consciousness, his Martial Soul was definitely not simple. How could his Innate Soul Power only be Level 1?

Initially, Gu Ziyi's expectation for himself was that he only needed to have some Soul Power. However, after having the previous vision, Gu Ziyi inevitably raised his expectations regarding his talent until he heard from the examiner that his Soul Power.... Being only level 1, Gu Ziyi found it unbelievable to accept this fact.

"Little boy, if you have Soul Power, you already have the potential to become a Soul Master. You are already luckier than most people here!"

Seeing Gu Ziyi's disappointed look, the examiner from the Martial Soul Hall couldn't help but laugh and ask, "Your Martial Soul should be a Mutated Paper Martial Soul. Is there any name you would like to register for your Martial Soul?"

After hearing the examiner's words, Gu Ziyi also came back to himself and quickly composed himself.

Yes, having Soul Power is already very good!

"Well, my Martial Soul is a Talisman!"

Gu Ziyi replied immediately.

"Talisman?"

The examiner was a bit surprised to hear this. He didn't understand the relation between the talisman and paper.

"Okay, I understand!" But he didn't ask any further questions. After all, it was just a mutation of the Paper Martial Soul, the Innate Soul Power was still only Level 1, so there was no need to offer a serious invitation to the Martial Soul Hall.

"Little boy, what is your name?"

The examiner from the Martial Soul Hall noted the details of Gu Ziyi's mutated Martial Soul while asking for his name. Every Martial Soul that awakens Soul Power will always be registered by the Martial Soul Hall.

"My name is Gu Ziyi!"

Gu Ziyi didn't hesitate and directly said the name from his previous life.

Anyway, there was no way he would use 'Little Stone (Xiao Shitou)' as a name.

"Gu Ziyi; Martial Soul – Talisman, is a Mutated Paper Martial Soul; with Innate Soul Power of Level 1!"

After the examiner recorded Gu Ziyi's data, he quickly opened a certificate and handed it to Gu Ziyi: "This is the certificate issued by the Martial Soul Hall for you. This certifies you as becoming a Soul Master! Do you understand?"

"Yes, thank you, sir!"

Gu Ziyi thanked and took the certificate.

The other party did not invite Gu Ziyi to join the Martial Soul Hall as they would invite Tang San.

Perhaps it's because Gu Ziyi's talent is too mediocre! Maybe even below average!

However, it happened that Gu Ziyi wouldn't dare to join the Martial Soul Hall without knowing the specific timeline he is in.

Otherwise, it would be very dangerous to be coerced into fighting against Tang San after he becomes a god.

However, as an orphan from a rural village, Gu Ziyi would like to join the Martial Soul Hall; it would be the best option for him by far.

"Okay, next!"

The examiner from the Martial Soul Hall continued to conduct the Awakening Ceremony for the remaining children of the village.

It's a pity that of all the remaining children, without exception, none had Soul Power and consequently none had potential to become Soul Masters.

"Examiner, is there anyone in our village who awakened Soul Power?"

When the examiner from the Martial Soul Hall left the church with all the children, the Village Chief, who had been anxiously waiting outside, quickly approached the Examiner and began to ask a question.

"Not bad, your Meilin Village has a child with potential to become a Soul Master this year!"

The examiner from the Martial Soul Hall immediately smiled and answered upon hearing the Village Chief's question.

"Okay, great, now our village can finally give birth to a Soul Master."

When the Village Chief heard this, he immediately became excited and applauded repeatedly.

Then the Village Chief looked at the group of children behind the Examiner, wondering who had the potential to be a Soul Master.

"Village Chief, it's Little Stone (Xiao Shitou)..."

"Yes, it's Little Stone (Xiao Shitou)..."

"Little Stone (Xiao Shitou) has Innate Soul Power of Level 1…"

"…"

Seeing the Village Chief looking at them, the other children spoke one after another.

"Okay, okay ..."

The Village Chief clapped his hands to silence the children and stepped forward to praise Gu Ziyi.

No matter whose child he was, as long as someone had the potential to be a Soul Master, he would be very happy.

"Examiner, I have to rush to other villages to conduct Martial Soul Awakening Ceremonies, so I'm leaving now!"

"The Junior Academy of Soul Masters will start recruiting in three months. Then you can take him to the City Academy to learn about Martial Souls!"

The examiner from the Martial Soul Hall also said goodbye at that moment.

"Yes, yes, I will escort you to the village exit, Examiner…"

Upon hearing this, the Village Chief quickly agreed and then personally said goodbye to the other party.

"Little Stone (Xiao Shitou), you are so amazing!"

"Yes, Little Stone (Xiao Shitou) can become a Soul Master…"

"It's a pity that none of us have Soul Power…"

"…"

As soon as the Village Chief and the examiner from the Martial Soul Hall left, the other companions who went through the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony with Gu Ziyi began to talk to him.

Some were happy for Gu Ziyi, while others felt sorry for themselves.

Gu Ziyi responded with a smile, but he was also very happy.

Compared to others, he really is much luckier.

Gu Ziyi can hardly wait to become a true Soul Master.

N/A: The protagonist's martial spirit is not simple. It turns out to be a wasted martial spirit with no soul power. The paper martial spirit transformed into a talisman after the protagonist's memory recovery; it was still not mature, so it has only Innate Soul Power of Level 1!

N/E: Folks, this concludes the first chapter. I'm thinking of posting 2 chapters a day until I catch up with the original work being released. The work is around 204 chapters and counting; it is a Chinese work. The site I got the work from: https://69shuba.cx/index.html, which has many works of Chinese origin, so if anyone is interested, you can check it out there to read.

(Finished the chapter)
