Coconut Grove City, Ghost Village.
"Xu Xin, you're the only one who will awaken your martial soul this year. If you fail to awaken a shadow martial soul, get out of Ghost Shadow Village!!"
The dignified old man tapped his cane and looked sternly at the little guy in front of him.
A raggedly dressed boy, about six years old, picked at his ear and lazily looked at the old man in front of him.
This is the village chief of Ghost Shadow Village, and the number one loyal fan of the titled Douluo Ghost.
Having received help from a ghost in his early years, the old man even founded a village specifically to prove that the Ghost Shadow Martial Soul was incredibly powerful, hoping to one day earn the praise of Ghost Douluo.
This village only accepts those with shadow martial souls; those without shadow martial souls are not accepted. There are only a few scattered people in the village, all of whom possess shadow martial souls and have innate soul power of only level one or two.
Seeing Xu Xin's lazy demeanor, the old man became furious and picked up his cane to strike the young boy.
"I know, I know, village chief, you've been saying it for a year now, I know everything."
Xu Xin gave a perfunctory reply.
A year ago, Xu Xin, who was still wandering the streets, was brought back to Ghost Shadow Village by the old village chief. The old village chief believed that Xu Xin could awaken the Shadow Martial Soul, so he brought him back.
There were several others with him, but they were all a year older than Xu Xin and had awakened their martial spirits and left last year.
It's obvious that none of them have awakened their Shadow Martial Soul.
This year, it's Xu Xin's turn.
There is only Xu Xin.
The old village chief snorted coldly and led Xu Xin into the awakening formation: "Put your hand on it."
Xu Xin obediently reached out and placed his hand on it.
The next moment.
A flash of brilliant light appeared, and a warm aura surged within Xu Xin's body, as if something was about to emerge.
Xu Xin couldn't resist opening his right hand, which was radiating heat.
A mask appeared on Xu Xin's right hand!
The mask was entirely red, with snow-white eyebrows, a snow-white beard, pale yellow eyes, and two black lines at the corners of its mouth.
The entire mask exuded a strong aura of darkness.
Before Xu Xin could even examine his mask, a sharp voice came from behind him: "Hmph, it's not a Shadow Martial Soul, just a mask."
"Let's leave Ghost Village."
"This place is not suitable for you."
As the old village chief spoke, he began to tidy up, putting away all the awakened items.
"Village Chief, I haven't tested my soul power yet!"
Xu Xin had already recognized the mask: the Tara mask.
The masked leader in Jackie Chan Adventures: The Masked Saga can summon all the Shadow Legion.
I'm so excited, extremely excited.
Xu Xin's face was beaming with smiles.
"Hmph, none of them have the Shadow Martial Soul, so they'd better leave sooner rather than later. Ghost Shadow Village doesn't welcome people who don't have the Shadow Martial Soul."
The old village chief didn't care about any of that; he packed his things and left.
Xu Xin sighed. Well, the other party had already done more than enough. What more could he ask for?
Xu Xin was not originally from this world. Six years ago, he was transported here for no reason and was adopted by an old woman. However, three years later, the old woman died. After giving her a simple burial, little Xu Xin began his life as a wanderer.
A year ago, the old village chief brought me back, and that's when I finally had a place to stay.
Today, he was kicked out again.
Oh no!
However, after today, his life will change, as he awakens a heaven-defying martial spirit: the Tara Mask.
A mask that can summon a ghost army.
In recent years, Xu Xin has also learned that this is the Douluo Continent, but he still doesn't know what time period it is in.
Watching the old village chief leave without any mercy, Xu Xin sighed helplessly.
Composing himself, Xu Xin withdrew his martial spirit and left Ghost Shadow Village.
After leaving the village, Xu Xin found a secluded spot and summoned his martial spirit.
"I hope you can surprise me!"
Looking at the eerie mask, Xu Xin put it on without the slightest hesitation.
Rumble!
In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared across the sky, darkening the entire area as if some great terror had descended upon the Douluo Continent.
Darkness enveloped the entire sky, but in the next instant, a thunderclap pierced the darkness, restoring light to the world.
I looked up and saw that everything was normal. The darkness had receded, and the world was bright and sunny.
Xu Xin did not feel any discomfort; on the contrary, he felt quite comfortable.
"The Shadow Legion!"
"Pay it to me!"
My mind kept wandering to the Ghost Legion...
Hmm... quite a while later.
An awkward silence hung in the air. There was nothing around, not even a ghost, except for his own shadow.
"Could it be that it can only be summoned after absorbing the first spirit ring?"
A guess formed in Xu Xin's mind.
Since there was nothing there, Xu Xin took off the mask.
Looking at the mask in his hand, Xu Xin was filled with emotion.
Douluo Continent.
Since we're already here, how can we not make something of ourselves?
Four things to do after crossing over: step on Haotian, slay Tang San, kill the Useless Xiaogang, and destroy the Heavenly Dao!
Let darkness descend upon Douluo, and become the master of darkness!
Having made up his mind, Xu Xin immediately headed towards the Spirit Hall branch.
I don't know what era it is, but the fact that the ghosts are still alive means that the Spirit Hall still exists, and everything is in the best interests of the common people.
That's a good point.
Xu Xin was only 6 years old. In the past few years, he had not had enough to eat or wear, and just surviving was a problem. He couldn't even exercise. By the time the Spirit Hall branch was established, he was panting heavily.
"Young man, what brings you to the Spirit Hall branch?" the guard asked politely, looking at Xu Xin who was exhausted.
"Hello, Uncle, I'm here to test my soul power."
Xu Xin grinned and said happily.
"I'll take you there, little one."
Hearing the guard's words, Xu Xin did not refuse, and the two quickly entered the hall.
The Spirit Hall branch hall is not small; it is magnificent and resplendent.
The two quickly arrived at the place where soul power was tested.
"Little friend, go inside. There will be someone there to test your soul power."
The guard dropped Xu Xin off here and left. Xu Xin pushed open the door and went inside.
Inside sat a little old man, leisurely fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.
"Grandpa, I'm here to test my soul power."
After years of hard work and struggle, Xu Xin knows the principle of not hitting someone who is smiling.
The old man glanced at Xu Xin, but didn't get up. He pointed to the crystal ball with the palm-leaf fan in his hand: "Put your hand on it."
Xu Xin quickly walked over, taking two steps in one.
The moment I placed my hand on it, the crystal ball began to glow, but stopped after a short while.
Level 10.
The old man glanced at it and lazily spoke.
"How long have you been cultivating?"
"I've been cultivating for a year now..."
Xu Xin didn't tell the truth; he didn't want to go to the Spirit Hall, so it was better to keep it a secret.
"A year? Your innate soul power is around level 7, not bad. Are you interested in joining the Spirit Hall?"
The old man still didn't look at Xu Xin, and just lay there talking.
"Senior, let me think about it," Xu Xin said, scratching his head.
"Alright, go out now. The gates of the Spirit Hall are always open for you."
The old man never looked directly at Xu Xin.
Xu Xin printed out a certificate and then left.
