Chapter 1 The ritual that determines fate
Douluo Continent.
Tiandou Empire.
In a mansion somewhere.
A little boy with black hair and black eyes, who was extremely delicate and good-looking, was looking at the sky absentmindedly, muttering to himself: "I will awaken my martial spirit soon, and I don't know what my talent is. I hope I can inherit a good martial spirit."
His name is Li Changan. His parents wanted him to live a long and peaceful life, so they gave him this name. At the same time, he also has another identity: a time traveler. In my previous life, I came from a blue planet.
In this life, he was reincarnated in the Douluo Continent, where he was the only one among the poor little aristocrats. He was the only one in this generation.
However, fate does not seem to favor this family.
His mother's vitality was damaged when she gave birth to him, and she became frail and sickly. She died when he was three years old.
As for his father, he died in the Star Luo Empire last year when he was five years old due to an expedition. Therefore, Li Changan is now alone.
He is six years old this year and is about to awaken his martial spirit.
If you are lucky enough to awaken a good martial soul, you can keep your noble title and family business. If you are unlucky, there is a high chance that the jackals, tigers and leopards who covet your property will eat it! It is not surprising to die at home for some inexplicable reason.
Those greedy guys will do anything to grab wealth.
And he is just a down-and-out little nobleman with no backers in his family. No matter how bad his talent is...how can he keep the family business?
As for expecting the empire to uphold justice?
Don't be naive, do you really think a decadent feudal empire is a good thing?
So what if his father died fighting for his country?
He was not the only one who died in the battle, many nobles older than him also died in the battle.
Who cares about the life and death of a small noble?
This kind of thing is unpleasant to say at best, but there are not so many good people in the world who will stand up for you when there is no benefit and the possibility of offending others.
"It all depends on today!"
Li Changan clenched his fists. If he was lucky today, he would be able to inherit his father's sword spirit when he awakened his martial spirit, and like his father, he would have about the fourth level of soul power, not even the third level. Then there is still the possibility of keeping the family business.
And if he inherits his mother's Little Green Snake martial spirit, and unfortunately has no innate soul power like his mother... then the best outcome waiting for him is that his family property will be taken away for various reasons, and he will be purified and reborn. household. The worst outcome is that someone secretly kills him and dies quietly in his own mansion.
Don't doubt the darkness of this world. The ugliness of human nature in reality is often much scarier than what is shown in TV series!
"Master, the carriage is ready." An old man came over. He is the housekeeper of the family and has served the family for decades. Loyalty is infallible.
"Okay, let's go."
Li Changan did not hesitate and followed the old housekeeper to the carriage, preparing to go to the place where the martial spirit was awakened.
And the place where he awakened his martial spirit was certainly not the Spirit Hall.
As a member of the nobility, the empire naturally arranges a special place for the nobility to awaken their martial souls. It is impossible to be like those common people who need to go to the Spirit Hall to awaken.
After arriving at the place where the martial soul is specially awakened.
Several children of the same age have gathered here, both boys and girls, and they are accompanied by their parents and elders. Only Li Changan was alone, with an old housekeeper by his side.
These people glanced at him with different expressions. But no one said anything sarcastic, or came up to chat and make friends. Generally speaking, nobles are quite capable when dealing with fellow nobles. Such mind-numbing behavior as unwarranted ridicule is either due to enmity between the two parties, or someone is instructing it. This is unlikely to happen under normal circumstances.
After waiting for a while, more people arrived one after another.
Until everyone has arrived. The old man who was responsible for presiding over today's awakening ceremony invited the children to enter the inner hall, while the adults stayed outside to wait.
Enter the inner hall.
The layout here looks very solemn, with a huge awakening array in the center. It looks much more upscale than the portable awakening arrays like those in Wuhun Palace.
"You are all children of the nobility. Your parents must have told you the process of awakening martial souls before coming here." The old man asked, looking at the many children.
Li Changan and the other children nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.
"Well, in that case, my old man won't talk nonsense." The old man nodded, then pointed at a child and asked him to stand in the center of the awakening array and start using awakening methods.
With a dazzling light.
The child in the awakening formation had a knight's gun in his hand. The old man nodded when he saw this. Obviously the little boy's knight's gun looked good. Even if the soul power is not tested, it can be predicted that the innate soul power will not be too low.
As the child pressed his hand on the crystal ball, a burst of light suddenly lit up.
The old man looked at it, lowered his head and recorded it, and said: "Yes, innate soul power level three, martial soul knight gun."
In this world, soul masters are only the preserve of a few people. Therefore, the innate soul power of the third level is not low for these young nobles. If you practice hard, you may have hope of reaching the Soul King in the end in this life.
The old man recorded the little boy's martial soul information, and then pointed to the next person.
With the awakening array lighting up again and again.
The martial arts awakened by these noble children are basically guns, swords, knives and other lethal weapons. Unlike in the countryside, the awakened martial spirits are basically farm tools such as hoes, sickles, hammers. Although these martial spirits are lethal, they belong to the ranks of low-level martial spirits, and therefore basically do not have innate soul power. Even if it is rare to have soul power, it is still a level one or two.
Of course, the most important thing is that the soul skills their martial souls possess after obtaining soul rings are not high in combat effectiveness and practicality. It is for this reason that sickles, hoes, etc. are called low-level martial arts.
Because even if they have the same level of innate soul power, they have obtained the same soul ring and have the same soul skills. But the sickle and the sword have different powers.
With the same soul skill, the sword can easily cut through steel. The sickle may only be used to chop wood. This is the difference between the two. It’s also the difference in martial arts!
Of course, this only refers to the ordinary sword spirit and sickle and hammer spirit. If it is the Seven Kills Sword or the Clear Sky Hammer, it is naturally impossible to confuse them.
Soon, it was Li Changan's turn to awaken his martial spirit.
He was worried inside, but pretended to be calm on the surface and walked to the center of the awakening array, waiting for his martial soul to be awakened.
The surrounding formations lit up with light.
Li Changan only felt a warm feeling welling up in his heart. I couldn't help but close my eyes... In an instant, it was as if my consciousness traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers at this moment and came to the wild and primitive soul beast forest!
In a hidden cave.
There is a giant egg covered with exquisite patterns. Suddenly, cracks appear on the case. With a bang, a triangular snake head breaks through the egg shell and pokes its head out to look around. Snake's pupils were filled with human confusion.
‘I…did I travel through time again? ’
‘Where is this? ’
‘No, I’m clearly still awakening my martial soul. What’s going on? ’
other side.
Li Changan suddenly opened his eyes and found that he was still in the awakening formation, and a sword appeared in his hand. It seems that he has good luck.
New book sets sail!
