Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Empire :
" Ivy Vine, trash martial soul, innate soul power : Level 1 ".
The soul master from spirit hall announced before walking away. The boy looked at the Ivy Vine in his hand with a dazed look. Is this it? His dream of reaching top of the world encountered an obstacle called talent.
Long Tian sighed. He is abandoned by his father for being illegitimate, his father was a noble with a sword martial soul, and his mother is a maid with ivy Vine martial soul, one fine night rain poured down and thunder flashed, the first wife of the noble is gone to her maternal place. The noble is drinking wine while his mother is serving him.
Things happened and he is born as a result, when the first wife found out, she is furious, due to the pressure from the maternal side, the noble chose to ignore their suffering, his mother died giving birth to him as she is refused to be granted any help.
Long Tian is born, he is raised as a servant, at the lowest level, when he is just two, he is forced to work, he isn't even given enough food. The heirs of the noble used to bully him constantly. For Long Tian this is a very hell like place, so he escaped by sneaking into the garbage bags and then travelled to the Heaven Dou City.
As for searching for him, he left a note saying he is going to commit suicide and reach his mother. To disguise himself, he started to dye his hair and wear glasses. He lived on streets for sometime, before he heard the announcement that orphans will be allowed to awaken their martial souls.
He wanted to join spirit hall, but got cold rejection saying he has a trash martial soul. And that's his story. A child with a trash martial soul - ivy vine and innate soul power level 1. Long Tian sneaked into another carriage this time, he is going to leave Heaven Dou City, this place is very dangerous, he thought it might be safe but he saw many children being abducted from the slums.
He heard they're sold as slave for the nobles. He knew exactly what's going to happen to them, that coward of a noble father is a prime example, he indulged in disgusting things and do what he wants to the slaves he bought. Long Tian is sick of him and his family. And also that first wife, she preaches it's his mother who seduced her man, when she herself wasn't clean, she did it with some servants and other nobles behind her man's back.
Long Tian felt the carriage stopped, he creafully observed the situation before leaping out of the carriage and making a dash for his life, fortunately for him, the servants are unloading the carriage and there is no one to focus on him. Although someone caught a glimpse of him.
Long Tian only stopped running after reaching a back alley and caught his breath. After a few minutes, he stepped out of the alley and inquired what city he is in. He is in white rock city of Heaven Dou. One of the cities in Balak Kingdom, but it's not a major city like the Soutuo city and Balak City, this one is a normal one.
It has mountains for mining ores, some mountains are commissioned by the Balak Kingdom to mine while some are free for eveyeone to mine and sell their gains, provided you got a permission letter to mine from the one in charge there. As he is thinking a screen appeared in front of him.
[ Cultivator Simulation System has been bound ]
[ Do you wish to use the guide for simulation system? ]
[ Yes / No ]
Long Tian blinked. what is this? He frowned and thought he is attacked by some kind of illusion or something. He looked around in vigilance and fear thinking he may have been caught by someone sent by his aristocrat father.
Seeing nothing happened even after 5 minutes, he asked people on street about the floating screen and got weird looks like he is a mad boy who is blabbering. Awkward, Long Tian sat in the alley and looked at the screen. After thinking for a while he clicked yes.
Knowledge is sent to his mind, and he is shocked. He can live in a simulated future or past according to this system, he will be able to gain memories of these simulations, knowledge earned and even other gains. After thinking for a while he accepted the system. He started his first simulation :
