"Two and a half years... It's been two and a half years! Why hasn't my golden finger arrived yet?!"In Holy Soul Village, on a small hill, a young boy lay quietly on the ground, basking in the sun with a lifeless expression.
His name was Su Ming, and he was a transmigrator—sort of.
This wasn't a soul transmigration, but rather a proper rebirth into the world of Douluo. When he was three and a half years old, he suddenly awakened memories of his past life. Now, at six, today was the day he would awaken his martial soul.
In his previous life, he had been an ordinary university student who loved reading all kinds of novels and watching anime.
One night, while crossing the street, he was suddenly hit by a speeding truck. Blood poured from him as he was thrown a great distance, and Su Ming's consciousness gradually faded.
And he could have sworn that the driver of the truck had smiled at him—a slight smile that seemed strangely familiar. What kind of person does that?!
But the scene was one he knew well from all the novels he'd read.
As the truck driver smiled, Su Ming could almost hear him saying, "Kid, looks like you're transmigrating! My quota for the day is complete. Enjoy your new life!"
And then the truck drove away, leaving Su Ming to his fate.
Su Ming: ******
Just as he was about to lose consciousness, a thought flashed through his mind. Mustering the last bit of his strength, he pulled out his damaged phone from his pocket and formatted it!
A person may die, but their social dignity cannot!
Su Ming stared blankly at the sky. He had assumed that after awakening the memories of his previous life, his system or "golden finger" would follow shortly after. But two and a half years had passed, and there was still no sign of it. This made Su Ming anxious.
In these past few years, Su Ming had no memories of his parents, only knowing they were killed in a spirit beast attack. He was raised by Old Jack, the village elder.
Today was the day to awaken his martial soul. He didn't dare hope for anything extraordinary, only wishing for some spirit power—just a little, even one or two levels would do. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to cultivate at all, and his life would be set.
After half a year of waiting post-memory awakening with no system in sight, Su Ming had given up hope.
Since there was no system, his only plan left was to build a good relationship with Tang San.
But thinking of Tang San's character, and remembering how in his past life he initially thought Tang San seemed decent, Su Ming's opinion quickly changed. The more he watched the anime, the more he realized that Tang San was quite the hypocrite.
Eventually, he even gave up watching the anime. So, he scrapped the idea of befriending Tang San.
Suddenly, a voice called out from afar.
"Su Ming! I knew you'd be here. Come on, the awakening ceremony is about to start. We can't keep the Spirit Master waiting!"
Su Ming immediately got up and replied, "Got it, Grandpa Jack!"
As they walked, Old Jack said, "I hope you can become a spirit master. It's been so long since anyone from Holy Soul Village has become one."
Su Ming didn't know what to say. If he could, he would awaken a martial soul that could be cultivated, but it wasn't up to him. Without any "golden finger," this was his only hope!
Soon, Su Ming, led by Old Jack, arrived at a small wooden house. This was the place set up by the Spirit Hall to help civilian children awaken their martial souls.
Su Ming was the last to arrive. Looking around the crowd, he noticed a plain-looking, blue-haired, slightly thin boy standing alone, somewhat out of place.
Old Jack respectfully addressed Su Yuntao, "Honorable Spirit Master, everyone is here. Thank you for waiting."
Su Yuntao gave a slight nod, saying, "Good. My time is limited, so let's begin the awakening ceremony."
Then, looking at the group of children, he spoke gently, "Children, line up. I will now awaken your martial souls."
"My name is Su Yuntao, and I'm a Level 26 Great Spirit Master. I will be your guide. Whatever happens, do not be afraid!"
Su Ming silently sized up Su Yuntao, who was famous online in his previous life, known as the "Blind Douluo."
He looked pretty decent and had a friendly attitude toward commoners like them. It was just a pity that he was a little blind.
Next, Su Yuntao took six black stones and a blue crystal ball from his bag, arranged them into a hexagonal formation, and shouted, "Lone Wolf, possess!"
Instantly, a purple wolf-shaped spirit appeared behind him. Su Yuntao's whole body became imposing, his muscles bulged, and two spirit rings—one white and one yellow—lit up beneath him.
The children awaiting their awakening turned pale and backed away, some even crying in fear.
Su Ming also took a step back, feeling the pressure from Su Yuntao and the lone wolf behind him. His green eyes were terrifying. It was impossible not to feel fear—after all, this time he wasn't watching from the safety of his previous life's anime. He was experiencing it firsthand!
Suppressing his fear, Su Ming glanced at Tang San and noticed that although his face was pale, he hadn't stepped back like the others. It seemed his mental fortitude, forged from being an assassin in his past life, was indeed impressive!
But Su Ming noticed Tang San's right hand clenched tightly, a sign of nervousness. Still, his condition was much better than Su Ming's!
Su Yuntao, of course, noticed both Tang San and Su Ming, silently admiring their courage. He hoped they would awaken martial souls with spirit power.
He randomly grabbed a child, placing them inside the hexagonal formation. "Don't move. If you can awaken your martial soul, you'll have the chance to gain abilities like mine. Now, place your right hand on the blue crystal ball and see what martial soul you awaken."
Moments later, the child's right hand produced a scythe. After testing for spirit power, unfortunately, there was none.
"Blue Silver Grass, no spirit power."
"A hoe, no spirit power."
Soon, only Su Ming and Tang San remained, and Su Yuntao had already lost hope. None of the previous children had any spirit power!
"Next, Su Ming!"
Hearing his name, Su Ming nervously stepped forward and placed his hand on the crystal ball.
Su Yuntao injected his spirit power, and moments later, a green orb of light floated from Su Ming's right hand.
"Wood element!"
Su Yuntao's eyes lit up. Finally, someone had awakened a decent martial soul, and wood element martial souls usually had spirit power. Suppressing his excitement, he asked Su Ming to test his innate spirit power.
Hearing Su Yuntao's exclamation, Su Ming was also pleasantly surprised. The wood element! Based on his past life knowledge, this martial soul could definitely be cultivated. Now, it was just a matter of how much innate spirit power he had!
The blue crystal ball shone brightly, and Su Yuntao's eyes widened—innate spirit power of level seven! A genius!
He must be recruited into Spirit Hall!
Excitedly, Su Yuntao said to Su Ming, "Congratulations! Innate spirit power of level seven. I officially invite you to join Spirit Hall for training. With your talent, you'll reach at least Spirit Douluo, provided nothing goes wrong!"
[Ding! Detecting the host has awakened a martial soul. The Diary System is ready for binding. Would you like to bind now?]
