Douluo Continent, Southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire, Fasno Province.
South of Notting City, Flower Village.
At dawn, the golden sun rises in the east, people begin their workdays, a faint pale white glow appears in the sky, a gentle breeze caresses the flowers, and the village is filled with a sweet fragrance.
However, something seems to have happened in the village today; instead of going to work, the people have gathered in the center of the village, discussing amongst themselves.
"Silence!"
The old man in the central square looked at the surrounding villagers and struck a stone hard with his cane, making a 'thud' sound.
The old man glanced at the crowd and said sternly,
"Today is the day the children awaken their martial souls; you must not make a sound!"
Seeing the old man's words, the villagers fell silent, not daring to utter a sound, but their eyes still held no less expectation as they looked at the group of children lined up in front of a wooden house with a sword-shaped symbol on its door.
Seeing that the commotion had subsided, the old man smiled and turned to the children standing in front of the wooden house, saying,
"Children, let's go inside first. Grandpa will awaken your martial souls!"
Hearing this, the children's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
The old man smiled slightly, leaning on his cane, and slowly stepped forward, pushing open the wooden door.
One of the children in the group had a complex expression in his eyes.
"Is it finally starting?"
Yun Feng, a transmigrator.
Unlike the novels he had read before, his transmigration was exceptionally unique.
He was originally a mountain runner at the foot of Changbai Mountain. During one of his runs, he saw a mountain delicacy and, wanting to pick it, lost his footing and fell into a huge crater.
When he awoke, he found himself covered in vines, the thorns of which were constantly drawing his blood.
Yun Feng was dead; the feeling of watching oneself die was unbearable!
Fortunately, he had transmigrated, arriving in this world in the waning moments of his soul.
Entering the wooden house, the door closed, and the children eagerly lined up again.
Soon, a row formed inside the house. Yun Feng didn't deliberately try to grab a spot;
he naturally settled in a position slightly towards the back of the middle.
In his view, being early or late made no difference.
"Children, no matter what happens later, relax and don't be nervous!"
The old man's expression relaxed slightly, his eyes shining with joy.
A short while later, the old man took out a cloth bag and a crystal ball from a drawer. Opening the bag, he revealed six black stones of varying sizes.
Arranging them on the ground to form a six-pointed star, the old man placed the crystal ball on the table. With a tremor, two circular halos, one white and one yellow, appeared behind him, and a small orange-yellow flower bloomed above his head—a rather comical sight.
"Alright, children, step forward one by one to awaken your martial souls!"
As the old man finished speaking, the child standing at the front nervously stepped into the six-pointed star.
The old man swiftly clapped his hands, and six faint green lights flowed into the six black stones on the ground. Instantly, a layer of golden light emanated from the six stones, forming a pale golden light shield that enveloped the child.
For some reason, the child, who had been very nervous before, immediately calmed down as soon as he was enveloped by the pale golden light, standing there somewhat dazed.
Golden specks of light floated out from the black stones on the ground and entered the boy's body.
The boy's body began to tremble slightly, wanting to cry out but unable to make a sound.
The old man's gentle voice came again.
"Child, extend your right hand."
The boy subconsciously extended his right hand, and instantly, all the light points surged out, and in a flash, a hoe appeared in his palm.
It seemed that the hoe was not an illusion of light, but a real thing.
The old man did not show much emotion upon seeing this, and as before, he smiled and said,
"Xiao Qi, your martial soul is not bad, it's a weapon martial soul. Let Grandpa see if you have any soul power?"
The old man held out the crystal ball in front of the boy named Xiao Qi, and the boy touched the crystal ball in understanding.
After a moment, the old man slowly said,
"No soul power, but the hoe is not bad either. It can help the family farm better in the future."
The old man smiled and comforted him.
After thanking him, the boy quickly stepped aside.
In all these years, the old man in front of him was the only soul master in Hua Hua Village, so he was not very surprised by this result.
The same scene continued, with six more children awakening their martial souls. Their martial souls were all things like hoes, sickles, and blue silver grass, and their soul power was zero.
Soon it was Yun Feng's turn.
The old man watched Yun Feng step forward, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Perhaps little Feng could awaken a decent martial soul; after all, he was precocious, organized, and never cried or made a fuss.
Yun Feng stepped forward, respectfully looking at the old man and slowly saying,
"Thank you, Grandpa Locke!"
Yun Feng's skin was wheat-colored, and his face was quite cute, still retaining some baby fat, making him somewhat handsome. However, the most striking feature was a cinnabar mole under the corner of his eye, adding a touch of unusual beauty.
Locke, a great soul master from Flower Village, had worked hard for half his life to obtain the position of deacon in the Spirit Hall. Later, due to his advanced age and lack of children, he returned to Flower Village to serve as the village chief.
Yun Feng was born in the same year, and both his parents died. Locke adopted Yun Feng and raised him like his own grandson for six years.
Fortunately, Yun Feng was sensible, saving the old man Locke a lot of trouble.
The reason Locke possessed the Awakening Stone was because of his position as a deacon. The Spirit Hall of Notting City, seeing that Locke had worked there for half his life, did not revoke his position as a deacon. Instead, he helped the children in their village awaken their powers
—his only job.
Locke was very grateful to the Spirit Hall for this.
He often spoke highly of the Spirit Hall to Yun Feng, saying
that it was the Spirit Hall that gave them a way to live.
After all, the monthly subsidies and the deacon's salary greatly improved the lives of the father and son.
Under this subtle influence, Yun Feng naturally developed a good impression of the Spirit Hall.
In his previous life, he had an omniscient perspective; although Tang San's actions were very troublesome, they were all his subjective opinions, and he couldn't judge them.
Now that he'd figured out the timeline in Douluo Continent, and six years had passed without any cheat codes arriving, Yun Feng's heart had long since calmed down. Having soul power was ideal, but he wouldn't complain if he didn't. After all, being given a second chance at life
was already a great privilege for him!
Locke smiled at Yun Feng and said,
"No trouble at all, Xiao Feng, come over here and awaken!" (End of Chapter)
