Heavenly Dou Empire.
Nottingham.
Qingshui Village.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves and shone on a large blue stone, where a little boy lay.
The little boy, about six years old, sat with his legs crossed, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, humming an unknown song, looking quite relaxed and carefree.
The little boy's name is Chen Yu, and he is a time traveler.
In her previous life, she was a college graduate who was hit by a Dayun Chuangfei car on her way to a job interview. When she regained consciousness, she found herself as a newborn baby.
Even though he had memories of his past life from birth, he did not show any abnormality and tried his best to act like an infant.
From the villagers' conversations, Chen Yu learned that this was the Douluo Continent, the Spirit Hall was still there, and one could awaken a spirit for free.
Today is the day of the Martial Soul Awakening.
"Xiaoyu, come down quickly, it's time to go to the Spirit Hall to awaken your spirit."
A slightly aged voice came from behind.
"Okay, Grandpa Village Chief."
Chen Yu quickly got up, jumped off the rock, and walked towards the direction from which the sound came.
There stood an elderly man with a cane, looking quite energetic.
The old man was John, the village elder of Qingshui Village, who was looking at Chen Yu with a kind expression.
Today is the day Old John has been looking forward to the most. If a Soul Master can emerge from the village, he, as the village chief, can boast to those village chiefs who haven't produced a Soul Master for at least a year.
Looking at the little boy who walked up to him, Old John smiled and said, "Come on, if you can become a Soul Master today, your parents will be happy for you."
Chen Yu nodded without saying anything, and naturally took Old John's arm and walked towards the center of the village.
Chen Yu's parents passed away a year ago. His father's martial spirit was archery, and he often went hunting in the mountains, so his family lived a pretty good life.
Unfortunately, life is unpredictable, and fortune can change in an instant.
It was the martial spirit that brought it success, and it was also the martial spirit that brought it failure.
A year ago, his father went hunting and never returned. It was only when other hunters in the village found his father's clothes in the mountains that they realized he had been murdered.
His mother had been in poor health since giving birth to Chen Yu, and she passed away suddenly upon hearing this news, leaving behind a five-year-old Chen Yu.
If it weren't for Old John's care, even with his memories of his past life, Chen Yu might not have been able to preserve the inheritance and live to this day.
...
When Chen Yu and Old John arrived at the Spirit Hall in the center of the village, there were already seven or eight children there.
Old John walked up to the children and said sternly, "Children, today is the day to awaken your Martial Soul. Whether you can become a Soul Master depends on today. If you can become a Soul Master, it will bring honor to your ancestors. In a moment, you must listen to the words of the Lord of the Martial Soul Hall. Do exactly what he tells you to do, understand?"
"We heard you," the children responded in unison.
Suddenly, a young man of about twenty years old appeared in front of everyone. "Is everyone here? If everyone is here, let's begin."
"Respected Soul Master, all the children from Qingshui Village who need to awaken their martial souls have arrived." Old John bowed respectfully.
"Now that everyone is here, you can go out now. I'm going to start their awakening." The young man waved for old John to leave.
After Old John left, the young man said, "My name is Su Yuntao, I am a Great Soul Master, in a moment..."
After Su Yuntao finished speaking, he took out several black stones and a crystal ball. After the preliminary work was done, Su Yuntao pointed to the first little boy on the right who was standing in the middle of the black stones.
"Lone Wolf, Possess!" As the little boy walked to the middle of the black stone, Su Yuntao activated his Martial Soul Possession.
"Ah!" Except for Chen Yu, all the other children screamed, especially the little boy in the middle of the black stone, who subconsciously wanted to get away from Su Yuntao.
"Don't be afraid. I've already told you about the precautions before. If you can become Soul Masters, you'll be just like me."
Without waiting for the little boy in the formation to react, she poured her soul power into the black stone, and a pale golden light shield enveloped it. Golden light spots flying out from the black stone surged toward the little boy.
"Extend your right hand," Su Yuntao's voice rang out at the opportune moment.
The little boy stretched out his right hand, and a hoe appeared in his palm.
"Spirit Hoe, come and test your spirit power. If you have spirit power, you can become a spirit master."
The little boy placed his hand on the crystal ball, but the crystal ball did not react.
"Without soul power, you cannot become a soul master. Next."
"The martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, but it has no soul power."
"The scythe has no soul power."
...
Eight people in a row lost their soul power, leaving only Chen Yu.
Chen Yu walked to the middle of the black stone. When the golden light entered his body, he felt warm.
Just as he was about to extend his right hand, a suction force came from his body, and in just one breath, he felt much weaker.
"Stop! Stop now, or I'm going to die!"
Chen Yu roared inwardly, "If I keep inhaling, I might die."
Perhaps it was his shout that made the suction disappear.
Although the suction disappeared, his body did not recover.
Extend your right hand.
When Su Yuntao's voice rang out, Chen Yu realized that his martial soul awakening was not yet over.
However, Su Yuntao didn't seem to care about what had happened before, and Chen Yu didn't ask any more questions, obediently extending his right hand.
A rusty bow and arrow floated on his palm.
Su Yuntao frowned and looked for a while, then said, "Come on, let's test your soul power."
Chen Yu placed his hand on the crystal ball, and the crystal ball emitted a faint light.
"Level one soul power, child, you can become a soul master."
Chen Yu stood there blankly, the words "Level 1 Soul Power" echoing in his mind.
He couldn't believe it. He was a transmigrator, and he was only given level one soul power. Wasn't that too much of a bullying?
He had been dreaming of punching Bibi Dong and kicking Tang Shenwang, but all he got was level one soul power. He should just give up and go to sleep; anything is possible in dreams.
"Child, stop daydreaming, let's go outside."
Su Yuntao's voice rang out again, pulling Chen Yu back from his wandering thoughts.
When Chen Yu followed Su Yuntao out, he found that only the village chief was outside.
Seeing the two of them come out, the old village chief quickly took two steps forward and respectfully bowed to Su Yuntao, "Sir, can Xiaoyu become a Soul Master?" After speaking, he looked at Su Yuntao with hopeful eyes.
Su Yuntao could understand the old village chief's gaze.
"He has innate soul power and can become a soul master."
"I have to go to other villages, so I'll be going now."
Before the old village chief could speak, Su Yuntao disappeared.
The old village chief looked at Chen Yu with a big smile and patted him on the shoulder, "I knew you could become a Soul Master."
"Go back and get some rest. Grandpa will send you to Notting College in three months."
Chen Yu didn't say anything discouraging. One level is one level, he could just give up and do nothing at worst.
Their village is not far from Holy Soul Village, so they should not be affected by the war and should be able to live a peaceful life.
...
Back at home, Chen Yu sat in a chair, thinking about what had happened when his martial spirit awakened.
What's with that suction force?
Chen Yu closed his eyes, his mind focused on only one thought: "Inhale!"
The moment this thought crossed Chen Yu's mind, a suction force surged through his body, startling him into yelling, "Stop! Stop right now!"
When the suction disappeared, Chen Yu gasped for breath; it was terrifying.
However, this also made him realize that something in his body needed energy.
[Ding! You have joined the Multiverse Mutual Aid Chat Group!]
[Ding! Douluo Chen Yu and Shrouding the Heavens Ye Fan have joined the chat group.]
"Chat group?"
Chen Yu was stunned. Was this his cheat code?
The next moment, a screen projection appeared in front of him.
[Xiao Yan: Finally, a newcomer has arrived! Welcome, newcomer!]
[Huang Rong: Welcome, newcomer.]
[Zhang Sanfeng: Welcome, newcomer.]
