"What is this? A needle? I was promised a Golden Cudgel, wasn't I?"
"System, are you messing with me?"
Just as Wukong was at a loss, Su Yuntao spoke.
Su Yuntao sized up the small needle in Wukong's hand and sighed, "What can a needle even do? Poke people?"
Wukong was a little annoyed and said to him with a black line on his face, "Just test my Innate Soul Power first."
"I haven't seen many needles with Soul Power. Even if they do, they probably won't even reach level 20. Forget it, don't bother testing," Su Yuntao shook his head. He didn't think this kind of Martial Soul was even worth awakening.
Wukong frowned and said, "Just test it. I'm afraid I'll shock you later."
It's a good thing I didn't scare you to death with my innate full Soul Power...
"Why are you so arrogant, kid? I'm a Spirit Master. What could possibly scare me?"
Su Yuntao's tone was slightly angry. This kid actually looked down on him. He couldn't show off in front of other Spirit Masters, but couldn't he at least show off here? Besides, Su Yuntao didn't think this kid in front of him could become a Spirit Master.
Seeing that Su Yuntao was still like this, Wukong walked over and put his hand on the crystal ball. Immediately, the crystal ball shone with blue light.
It filled the entire room.
The children behind him also widened their dark, black eyes, staring intently at Wukong.
Su Yuntao's jaw nearly dropped. The way he looked at Wukong was like he was staring at a piece of gold, and he excitedly said to Wukong, "Child, you have innate full Soul Power! You're a genius among geniuses!"
Su Yuntao couldn't believe he'd encountered innate full Soul Power twice in one day!
"Sigh..." Su Yuntao sighed, remembering some things.
"But your Martial Soul is a useless one, just like that child earlier..."
Hearing those last words, Wukong's heart immediately relaxed. Thank goodness for Brother Tao's words; it's given me an invincibility buff. With these words, my future achievements will definitely not be worse than a God King.
Even more than a God King!
Su Yuntao then changed his attitude towards Wukong, looking happy as he said, "Child, do you want to join Spirit Hall? If you join Spirit Hall, with your talent, you can at least become a Bishop. Although it's a useless Martial Soul, you have full Innate Soul Power."
"I believe the people in Spirit Hall will definitely value you very much!" Su Yuntao patted Wukong's shoulder, his expression excited.
If Wukong has a bright future, then wouldn't he also benefit?
Wukong was stunned and shook his head. "My Martial Soul is useless, so there's no need to waste Spirit Hall's resources. I'm already very happy to be able to become a Spirit Master."
"And with my Martial Soul, even if I join Spirit Hall, I might not be able to reach the heights you mentioned."
Wukong said regretfully to Su Yuntao on the surface, but in reality, he was overjoyed. This needle of mine... I forgot it was the initial form of the Golden Cudgel.
Join the Spirit Hall? Screw that! I admit, the Pope is tempting, and the Spirit Hall's Saint Son is also alluring, as are the fox and angel Martial Souls. But! I'm a man of principle. Since I can't return to my original world, I'll just erase all the regrets in Douluo Continent.
First, I'll improve my relationship with Tang San. I'm not sucking up to Tang San, I'm just trying to make up for my regrets. Then, I'll break up the Shrek Seven Devils and take Zhu Zhuqing for myself! Ning Rongrong can stay with Oscar; he tries hard enough.
(This is foreshadowing. The protagonist won't be fawning over Tang San.)
The only person I can't stand is Dai Mubai. He's lecherous and sleazy, and he's irresponsible in the early stages!
What?
He changed later, and Zhu Zhuqing took the initiative... I doubt it...
It was just for self-preservation. Anyway, when I watched Douluo Continent in my previous life, I had a lot of goodwill towards her, so I'll just take her. It also breaks one Nether White Tiger.
Su Yuntao regretfully said to him, "Alright... Child, this is your own choice. If you ever want to join, come find me at the Spirit Hall in Notting City."
Su Yuntao felt extremely regretful. He had discovered two little geniuses with full Innate Soul Power, but neither of them wanted to join the Spirit Hall.
I've already told them both my work area. They should come later, I suppose…
Wukong: "Alright!"
After Su Yuntao left the hall, Grandpa the village head asked him, "Respected Spirit Master, do we have any Spirit Masters emerging this year?"
"We do, but he's just a waste. However, he possesses innate full Soul Power."
The village head was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Heaven bless Lihua Village! It must be that Spirit King! It's that Spirit King protecting Lihua Village!"
Never mind if it's a good Martial Soul; having Soul Power means he can become a Spirit Master and bring glory to the village.
"Then, Spirit Master, who achieved innate full Soul Power?"
"That, the one with the monkey tail."
The village head chuckled, his eyes crinkling. Wasn't this the little monkey they had always pinned their hopes on?
His physical condition was incredible, scaling mountains and running down hills without a hint of breath.
Grandpa Diga said, "Little monkey, you truly are the hope of our village! We finally have another Spirit King!"
Wukong was helpless, his mouth pursed slightly. He thought to himself, Get out of here! Spirit King? Don't jinx me. I'm going to become the man who surpasses gods!
"What Martial Soul did you awaken?" the village head asked Wukong.
In reality, the head knew what to expect. Every year, the Martial Souls that awakened were more or less the same.
"A needle." Wukong said to Grandpa Diga, unhurriedly.
"It's fine, it's fine, as long as you can cultivate, that's all that matters. This year's Work-Study Student position is yours," Grandpa Diga patted his chest, full of confidence.
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
"Looks like I don't have to worry about checking in at Notting Academy!"
Wukong returned to the back mountain, to the place where he often trained, and summoned his Martial Soul.
Hmm, how does this Golden Cudgel get bigger? Could it be? Wukong scratched his head, suddenly thinking of something.
"Grow! The staff, grow!" Wukong immediately imitated the Great Sage, Sun Wukong, and took a step back, shouting.
I've gone crazy.
I remember in the fanfics I read in my previous life, it was done with your thoughts.
With a thought, the staff in Wukong's hand quickly grew, becoming an iron rod with phoenix gold threads wrapped around both ends, a red middle, and dragon carvings.
Wukong: "???"
Why is this from Journey to the West? With Super Saiyan blood, shouldn't it be from Dragon Ball? Did I wander onto the wrong set?
"Whatever, never mind. Let's test the goods first."
Wukong lifted the Golden Cudgel and swung it down on a rock with all his might. The ground around the rock, ten meters out and eight meters down, collapsed entirely, sending Wukong tumbling.
"Damn! I overdid it and tripped myself. But this is truly powerful! Still, I feel like I haven't unleashed my full strength."
Ah! The system seemed to say I couldn't use my full power. The Golden Cudgel was a divine artifact used by Yu the Great to control floods. Now it's a Martial Soul, so I can't use its full power! Wukong smacked his head. That damn system actually did give me a Martial Soul.
Wouldn't it be better if it was the real thing? Oh wait, if it was the real thing, I probably couldn't even lift it.
Wukong grumbled to the heavens, "Heavens, System! Why do you have to limit me? I give up!"
"There's also someone next door using Pangu's Axe. You're restricting me, but not him? And the Golden Cudgel's quality doesn't seem higher than the Axe's, does it?"
Wukong suddenly had an idea. Since they can use Armament Haki to coat their weapons in One Piece, I should be able to do the same.
With a thought, Wukong covered his hands with black Armament Haki. Then, he summoned the Golden Cudgel and coated the entire staff with the Haki, turning the originally gleaming weapon completely black.
Sacrificing appearance for increased strength, he gave the Golden Cudgel a fivefold increase in attack power.
Then, Wukong swung down with all his might, using all his strength to strike the ground. The entire small mountain was flattened. A miserable cry then came, and it was Wukong himself. While smashing the mountain, he was also buried under the rubble.
"Damn it!"
"I shouldn't have tried that"
"Why did I have to look for trouble?"
The instant the small mountain in Holy Soul Village was flattened, a young boy cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Tang San, saw the collapse with his Purple Demon Eye.
He also saw someone crushed beneath the rubble. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly activated his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to investigate.
A figure slowly crawled out from under the mountain. Wukong rubbed his aching shoulders and said, "Awesome! With my current strength, I can flatten a mountain, imagine what it'll be like after I get a Spirit Ring."
Wukong massaged his sore muscles when he suddenly noticed a very fast figure rapidly approaching.
That figure arrived in front of Wukong with incredible speed.
"Who are you? I saw you get buried just now, are you okay?" Tang San asked Wukong.
Wukong glanced at the child, who was about the same age as him. His first impression was that this was no ordinary person. He then noticed his purple eyes and realized it was Tang San.
Wukong asked him, "I'm fine, thanks!"
Tang San said, "My name is Tang San, and I'm six years old. I'm a child from Holy Spirit Village over there."
Wukong said, "My name is Wukong. I'm the same age as you. I'm from Lihua Village, hehe."
Tang San was baffled when he heard Wukong's name: "???"
"What did you say your name was?"
Wukong was a little puzzled. Was there something wrong with his name?
"Sun Wukong, what's up?"
Tang San: "It's nothing, it's just that I think your name sounds really impressive."
(Note: Tang San's world has already popularized the knowledge of "Journey to the West," so he naturally knew who Sun Wukong was, but he didn't know the gold-haired kid who could blow up planets from Dragon Ball.)
Wukong's heart skipped a beat. He was just looking for someone to test his strength, and rocks and trees wouldn't work. Well, wasn't there a perfect opponent right in front of him?
Wukong grinned, patted the dust off his body, and said, "Hey, Tang San, how about we spar?"
"What?" Tang San's expression was immediately one of surprise.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Tang San's strength was already unmatched among his peers.
But he didn't know that Wukong was also a transmigrator, and one who had a bigger cheat than even he did.
"Let's forget it. I'm afraid I'll hurt you," Tang San quickly waved his hand, not wanting to make the kid cry.
"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. If you lose, you have to agree to a condition of mine and treat me to a meal. If I lose, it's the same as for you," Wukong quickly assumed the fighting stance Kakarot always used. He really wanted to see what level his strength had reached.
Seeing Wukong like this, Tang San shook his head and agreed, "Well... alright."
Tang San then stepped forward quickly using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, aiming a punch straight at Wukong's lower abdomen, wanting to end the fight quickly.
But Wukong used Observation Haki, easily dodging the attack, and then threw a punch at Tang San's left ribs.
Tang San used his Mysterious Jade Hand, employing a grappling technique to skillfully evade Wukong's attack and seize his hand. Wukong countered with Armament Haki to defend himself.
