Chapter 1 Martial Soul Awakening
PS: Brain Storage.
Li Minghong opened a post: Just now, I witnessed the passing of life. For the first time, I felt how fragile life is.
"My condolences, OP."
"Sigh! I can only say that life is unpredictable! My condolences, OP."
"Huh? What happened? What happened?"
The OP replied: "The fish shop owner just killed a fish in front of me."
"666, a gentleman keeps away from the kitchen, huh!"
"You're so cheeky!"
"Anyone in the same city who can boost my account?"
Seeing this post, Li Minghong laughed out loud, not paying attention to the road in front of him.
Screech!
The truck slammed on the brakes, but the huge inertia made it continue forward.
Hearing a piercing sound, Li Minghong finally looked up, but it was too late.
Bang!
A person who was scrolling through the same post as Li Minghong on his phone suddenly saw this scene and froze. The passing of life before his eyes greatly shocked his weak heart!
He hurriedly picked up his phone! Quickly... posted a message.
"Just now, I witnessed life slipping away."
And just like that, Li Minghong became a laughingstock, and incidentally, transmigrated.
Douluo Continent.
Li Minghong lay on a hillside covered in Blue Silver Grass, enjoying the gentle breeze.
This otherwise pleasant moment couldn't erase the sorrow in Li Minghong's heart.
"Why did I have to transmigrate like this!"
Chewing on the roots of Blue Silver Grass, Li Minghong sighed.
"Although I love reading Douluo Continent, including its fanfiction, I didn't want to transmigrate!"
In his previous life, Li Minghong was just an ordinary, struggling nobody, whose hobbies included browsing the Sun Wukong forum and playing a two-word game at night.
Of course, his greatest hobby was watching "Resurrect! My! Lover!"

"Pah!"
He spat out the Blue Silver Grass in his mouth.
"Hopefully, I can awaken a decent Martial Soul. Otherwise, without a background or strength, how can I survive in this turbid world?"
He looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, striking what he thought was a profound pose, gazing at the sky with melancholy.
My pain is unbearable.
"Li Minghong! Eat!"
The speaker was Li Minghong's grandfather, who had taken in this orphan.
"Okay! I know!"
Li Minghong stood up, patting the dust off his bottom.
"Go home, eat, and go to sleep early. You need to awaken your Martial Soul tomorrow."
People from Yunshui Village and several neighboring villages had come to the Notting City Martial Soul Hall branch.
After transmigrating, Li Minghong became an orphan and was taken in by the village chief of Yunshui Village.
Now, at six years old, it was time to awaken his Martial Soul.
But heaven seemed to have forgotten to give him a cheat code when he transmigrated.
He tried desperately, but his mind remained blank.
"What are you daydreaming about, brat! Get in there and awaken!"
Hearing his grandfather's scolding, Li Minghong snapped out of his daze and realized everyone was staring at him. Feeling a little nervous, he hurriedly ran forward.
Unexpectedly, the awakening process was so quick; all the dozens of children in front of him had already awakened.
"Stand inside the formation,"
said the white-robed deacon, Matthew, after looking Li Minghong up and down.
Li Minghong complied.
He walked up the steps and stood in the very center of the Martial Soul Awakening Formation.
Buzzing.
As Matthew injected his soul power, the six-pointed star-shaped Martial Soul Awakening Formation emitted a buzzing sound, the soles of his feet trembled slightly, and the formation began to emit a dazzling light.
"Phew—"
Li Minghong let out a long breath, anxiously awaiting the result.
"I don't ask for anything! Just let me awaken my soul power!"
"May the Supreme Lord Laozi command me with utmost urgency! God bless me! Amitabha!"
He closed his eyes and began to quietly sense the changes within himself.
Buzz!
In no time, Li Minghong felt a certain power awaken within his body, then slowly gather towards his palm.
Li Minghong opened his eyes and saw specks of blue light appearing in his right palm, eventually solidifying.
"Plant martial soul, Blue Silver Grass."
"Let's test your soul power."
Matthew didn't show any emotion, after all, it was normal for a commoner to awaken such a martial soul.
"This..."
Li Minghong was stunned for a moment, his heart already half-disheartened.
He could only hope that his Blue Silver Grass had some soul power.
He then walked into the array for testing innate soul power.
Under Li Minghong's expectant gaze, the array lit up!
"Congratulations, your innate soul power is level one."
Matthew's voice carried a hint of surprise, not expecting that such a useless martial soul would actually have innate soul power.
"That's wonderful!"
He had thought he would live a mundane life of rising with the sun and resting at sunset, marrying a wife and having a few children, but he never expected to actually awaken his soul power!
This was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

"What!"
"What? What's wrong?"
Matthew saw Li Minghong's startled reaction and looked at him with some confusion.
"No, no, nothing."
Li Minghong quickly waved his hand, trying his best to suppress his inner joy.
Matthew saw that Li Minghong's lips were almost curled up to the sky and assumed that he was happy because he had awakened his soul power, so he didn't pay much attention.
"Master Matthew! How many children have awakened soul power this year!"
"One, Li Minghong from Yunshui Village, Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, Innate Soul Power, Level 1."
"That's wonderful!"
Li Minghong's grandfather's eyes lit up. As long as one had soul power, that meant having the ability to transcend social classes!
He immediately slapped Li Minghong on the back of the head.
"Xiao Hong! You've really brought honor to our ancestors!"
Li Minghong rubbed the back of his head, staring resentfully at his grandfather. He was momentarily stunned by the sight.
His grandfather smiled, his face etched with deep wrinkles—grooves carved by time, furrows that held the deep resentment and helplessness of a commoner.
Yunshui Village, Notting City, Fasno Province, Tiandou Empire.
This was a feudal, autocratic imperialist state; internal corruption was inevitable.
Few cared about the well-being of ordinary people; they only demanded sufficient labor.
Even the lowest-ranking Soul Master was considered aristocratic compared to the commoners.
Back home.
His grandfather had prepared a lavish dinner, things they wouldn't even spare for New Year's.
At the table, his grandfather drank heavily, his eyes hazy, but his joy was undeniable.
After the meal, Li Minghong helped his drunken grandfather to bed.
Then he returned to his room to examine his cheat ability.

[Currently unlocked: Kill Young Tang San.]
[Upon successful completion, items possessed by Young Tang San will drop and be integrated into the host's body.]
"What! I'm about to take off!"
After much anticipation, finally, the cheat system has sensed my sincerity!
"Young Tang San? A little brat won't be easily defeated!"
