Chapter 1 Ye Qinghe
Douluo Continent.
Southwest of the Fasno Province, Tiandou Empire.
Holy Soul Village, Martial Soul Hall.
Despite being called the Spirit Hall, it was really just a slightly larger wooden hut.
At this moment, a large crowd gathered outside the wooden house.
Many villagers waited with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
Inside the wooden house, the six-year-old boys and girls lined up in a row, their eyes fixed intently on the Martial Soul Awakening Formation in front of them.
A boy with an ordinary appearance, who had nothing special about him except for his clear eyes, stood in the line, his palms sweating and his throat dry.
The boy's name was Ye Qinghe, and in his previous life he was just an ordinary cow or horse.
He died suddenly because he stayed up all night rereading the novel "Stir-fried Eggs with Green Peppers".
When he woke up again, he had arrived in Emperor Soul Village and was born into a farming family.
My mother's martial soul is an embroidery needle. She has no soul power.
Because of her poor health, she passed away not long after giving birth to him.
My father's martial spirit is the War Tiger.
Although his innate soul power was only level one.
But he is still a Soul Master, and he receives a Soul Master subsidy of one gold Soul coin every month.
Life was actually pretty good!
Unfortunately, when Ye Qinghe was two years old, four years ago, his father finally broke through to level 20 and went to the Soul Beast Forest to obtain a Soul Ring, but he never returned.
After that, Ye Qinghe became an orphan and grew up under the care of the village chief, Tom.
Today marks the sixth year since he came into this world, and it is also the most important day of his life: the awakening of his martial soul.
If one inherits one's father's martial soul, then there is still hope. If one cannot awaken soul power, then barring any unforeseen circumstances, one can only be a beast of burden for the rest of one's life.
Ye Qinghe stood at the back of the line, his palms sweating.
"Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass, no soul power, next."
The Spirit Hall steward who awakened their martial souls was a handsome young man in his early twenties with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.
Lone Wolf Martial Soul, Level 26 Great Soul Master.
Who else could it be but the blind Dou Luo Su Yuntao?
As Su Yuntao's voice fell, a boy with an equally ordinary appearance, but much thinner than Ye Qinghe, stepped out.
Tang San is the male protagonist of Douluo Continent.
Because Ye Qinghe lived in Di Hun Village, which was next to Sheng Hun Village, he had never had any dealings with him.
The reason he came to Holy Soul Village was because Ye Qinghe was the only eligible child in Emperor Soul Village this year. Village Elder Tom brought him along so that the Spirit Hall deacon wouldn't have to make an extra trip.
As Tang San stepped into the Awakening Formation, a blue, flat-leaved green plant quickly appeared in the palm of his right hand.
As expected, he awakened the Blue Silver Grass martial soul.
"Blue Silver Grass again, next one..."
Su Yuntao shook his head in disappointment. He didn't intend to waste any more time testing Tang San's soul power.
"Wait... Uncle, you haven't tested my soul power yet?"
Tang San argued his case based on reason.
Unable to resist, Su Yuntao had no choice but to hand over the soul power testing crystal ball to test his soul power.
"My god, it's actually innate full soul power... What a pity it's a useless martial soul."
Seeing the crystal ball fully lit up and surrounded by a blue halo, Su Yuntao's expression kept changing, with shock, disappointment, regret and other emotions flashing across his face.
Finally, it turned into a sigh full of helplessness, "One in ten thousand innate full soul power, and the martial soul is actually Blue Silver Grass, what a pity, why didn't you give it to me, if you had it, I would have been a Soul King or Soul Emperor long ago..."
Ye Qinghe glanced at Tang San's tightly clenched left hand behind his back, knowing better than to say anything.
Soon, Ye Qinghe took the stage.
Su Yuntao didn't need to say anything.
He has stepped forward and stood in the center of the awakening array.
As Su Yuntao's soul power was injected, Ye Qinghe felt his whole body enveloped in a warm aura.
The next moment, a mechanical female voice rang in Ye Qinghe's mind:
[Ding, the emotion value system is loading...]
[Ding, system loading complete.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a newbie gift pack. Would you like to open it?]
Ok?
The system is here!
Having read too many transmigration/reincarnation novels on certain platforms, Ye Qinghe had long ago made up his mind that if he ever woke up one day to find himself in an odd place, he would absolutely not, before figuring out what was going on, cheerfully exclaim, "Is this a TV drama shoot? The props are so realistic! Your production team is really awesome!"
This is what someone with a mental disability would say in order to seek a sense of security.
He was very calm when he first transmigrated.
Now that the system's cheat code has appeared, he simply and silently recites in his mind, "Open the newbie gift pack."
[Ding! New player gift pack successfully opened. Please select?]
[Option 1: Awaken the War Tiger Martial Soul, rewarded with innate full soul power, Martial Soul evolves into Netherworld White Tiger.]
[Option 2: Awaken the Embroidery Needle, reward: full innate soul power, martial soul evolution: Heavenly Sun Gilded Needle.]
Option 3: Awaken the War Tiger Martial Soul and the Embroidery Needle Martial Soul.
If this system only has this one beginner's gift pack, then Ye Qinghe would not hesitate to give up the third option upon awakening.
After all, having twin martial souls is certainly good, but no matter how good they are, if the two martial souls are of average or even very poor quality...
That would be pointless.
How can it compare to the Netherworld White Tiger, which is formed by the fusion of two top-tier beast martial souls: the White Tiger and the Netherworld Cat?
It is far inferior to the Heavenly Sun Gilded Needle.
You should know that this Heavenly Sun Golden Needle is Wen Tianren's natal magic weapon in the novel "A Record of Mortal Cultivation".
Almost instantly, tens of thousands of Han Laomo's three-colored gold-devouring insects were killed.
If it weren't for the Azure Nether Needle Talisman gifted by Qingyi Jushi, this Heavenly Sun Gilded Needle alone would have been enough to give Old Demon Han a hard time.
But since this is an emotion value system, it must be based on some special method to obtain emotions and exchange them for rewards.
For the long term, and also to avoid being targeted by the old rat, Ye Qinghe chose option three when training the dog.
"I choose to awaken the War Tiger Martial Soul and the Embroidery Needle Martial Soul."
[Ding, selection successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the War Tiger Martial Soul and the Embroidery Needle Martial Soul.]
As the system's words fell in his mind, Ye Qinghe felt a portion of the warm energy spreading throughout his body, while another portion flowed to his left hand.
Ye Qinghe quickly clenched his left hand and placed it behind his back. The next moment, accompanied by a tiger's roar, a phantom tiger appeared behind him.
"It's actually the War Tiger Martial Soul. Come on, kid, let's test your soul power."
Seeing that Ye Qinghe had awakened a War Tiger Martial Soul, Su Yuntao's eyes lit up slightly, and he raised his hand to hand over the Soul Power Testing Crystal Ball.
Ye Qinghe raised his hand and gently touched the crystal ball, which emitted a faint halo of light.
Su Yuntao smiled and nodded. "Level three innate soul power, hmm... not bad. Becoming a Soul Master in the future is a certainty, and becoming a Soul Venerable or even a Soul Grandmaster is also very promising. Work hard in the future. Don't waste your talent..."
After saying this, he put away the martial soul awakening device and walked outside.
"Old Jack."
The door opened, and old Jack and old Tom greeted them with expectant looks.
"How is it, Master Su Yuntao? Have any children in our Holy Soul Village awakened their soul power this year?"
"How is it, Master Su Yuntao? Has Qinghe awakened his soul power? His father was a level 20 soul master in his lifetime..."
