Chapter 1: Transmigrating to Douluo

A work by a newcomer; please don't flame if you don't like it.

Please don't use your brain when reading this novel.

Most of the settings in this book were found on Baidu; if there are discrepancies, this book takes precedence.

In a mountain village, a child of about six years old was sitting cross-legged with eyes closed in a small courtyard, though it was unclear what he was doing.

After a short while, the child opened his eyes and stood up.

"Today is the day to awaken my martial soul. I wonder what my martial soul will be?"

The child was named Zhou Heng; he was not from this world, but a transmigrator.

At the mere thought of the reason for his transmigration, Zhou Heng became exceptionally angry.

In his previous life, one could say: he was sitting at home when disaster struck from the sky.

He was in his living room watching anime when a heavy-duty Dayun truck crashed into his home from the outside.

You must know that his home was on the seventh floor! A heavy truck crashed from the balcony into the living room, using him as a speed bump and grinding him into meat paste.

Before he died, Zhou Heng vaguely heard a voice: "Another order completed, this month's quota is met. Since this little guy helped me, I'll give him some extra benefits."

Afterwards, he arrived in this small village called Li Village and became a child of about three or four years old.

Zhou Heng was adopted by the village chief of Li Village, and the villagers took great care of him; Zhou Heng was very grateful to them.

Zhou Heng stood up and stretched his body; he had been sitting cross-legged on the ground earlier, just meditating with his eyes closed, not practicing any cultivation method.

This was a technique he had derived based on knowledge of Buddhism and Daoism from his previous life; Zhou Heng had started practicing this meditation a year ago, and a year had passed since then.

Relying on this meditation technique, Zhou Heng had cultivated a warm current within his body; Zhou Heng speculated that this should be soul power, and he felt that his mental state had improved significantly.

Over these past two years, Zhou Heng had also been gradually understanding his body, analyzing the extraordinary meridians and eight vessels within him, as well as all the acupuncture points on his body.

When reading in his previous life, Zhou Heng felt that the Douluo World had very little research on meridians and acupuncture points.

Zhou Heng wanted to create a cultivation method based on that knowledge from his previous life, but for now, he had no leads.

Moreover, according to the news Zhou Heng had gathered, just a year ago, Tang Hao, one of the Clear Sky Twins of the Clear Sky Sect, defeated the previous Pope, Qian Xunji.

Furthermore, Qian Xunji died from his severe injuries, and subsequently, the Saintess Bibi Dong succeeded as Pope, becoming the new Pope.

This meant that Zhou Heng was about five years older than Tang San, and he had plenty of time to grow.

Just as Zhou Heng was lost in thought, an old man with graying hair walked in from outside the courtyard.

Hearing the movement, Zhou Heng raised his head to look at the source of the sound.

Seeing the old man, a look of joy flashed in his eyes: "Grandpa Village Chief, why have you come over?"

The old man was none other than Li Zongyu, the village chief of Li Village, and the one who adopted Zhou Heng; from the time he arrived at Li Village, Zhou Heng had been adopted by the village chief until he could live on his own.

Relying on the knowledge from his previous life, Zhou Heng gave ideas to the people in the village, which led to a significant increase in Li Village's income.

The village chief smiled and said: "Little Heng, today is the day for martial soul awakening, why haven't you hurried to the Spirit Hall branch yet?"

Zhou Heng nodded and said: "Alright, I understand, Grandpa Village Chief, I am going to the Spirit Hall branch now."

Under the urging of the village chief, Zhou Heng left home and headed toward the Spirit Hall branch built in the village.

After running for a few minutes, Zhou Heng arrived at the tallest building in the village, where more than a dozen children of the same age were already waiting.

This tallest building was the Spirit Hall branch in the village; every year, Spirit Masters from the Spirit Hall would come to the village to awaken the martial souls for the children of the appropriate age.

Speaking of this, Zhou Heng felt that the Spirit Hall did this well, unlike ten thousand years later, when noble families and academies would charge fees to awaken martial souls for commoner Spirit Masters.

Moreover, after Tang San destroyed the Spirit Hall, he did not take up the responsibilities of the Spirit Hall to suppress evil Spirit Masters, nor did he lead the Douluo Continent to any excellent development.

Zhou Heng did not have a good impression of Tang San, so he did not intend to have any connection with him.

After a while, the village chief Li Zongyu brought two children of the same age as Zhou Heng to the front of the Spirit Hall branch; accompanying the village chief was a woman wearing the uniform of direct personnel of the Spirit Hall.

This woman was about thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance, not particularly beautiful.

However, the woman had a gentle temperament and fair skin, making her very pleasant to look at.

Looking at the woman, Zhou Heng faintly felt that her aura was very strong, much stronger than the person who came to the village a few years ago to awaken the martial souls for the children of the appropriate age.

Zhou Heng saw that on the woman's left chest, there was a badge, and on the badge were carved five intersecting long swords.

Zhou Heng knew that this badge indicated that this woman was a four-ring Soul Ancestor of at least level forty-one.

Zhou Heng lowered his head, feeling the woman's aura, and hid his presence so as not to stand out too much.

After Li Zongyu let the two children join the line, he said in a deep voice to the dozen or so children standing in front of the Spirit Hall branch: "Children, this is Lady Lin Yu from the Spirit Hall branch in Wuhun City.

This time, it is Lady Lin Yu who will awaken your martial souls; you must thank Lady Lin Yu and thank the Spirit Hall.

It is the Spirit Hall that helps you awaken your martial souls, giving you the opportunity to become Spirit Masters; you must remember to be grateful."

The village chief's voice was not loud, but it was very serious, filled with an unquestionable tone.

Zhou Heng and the other children said in unison, neatly: "Please rest assured, Village Chief, we will absolutely not be people who return kindness with enmity."

The people in the village were all loyal supporters of the Spirit Hall, and the village chief was even a believer in the Angel God.

Zhou Heng and the other children had all been strictly instructed by the village chief that they must never fail the kindness the Spirit Hall had shown to Li Village.

Zhou Heng and the others naturally would not object; Li Village was built near Wuhun City and had almost never encountered a situation where evil Spirit Masters invaded the village; these were all the merits of the Spirit Hall.

The people in the village were all very grateful to the Spirit Hall.

Zhou Heng's impression of the Spirit Hall was still from his previous life, his impression of the Spirit Hall when reading the first Douluo.

Awakening martial souls for commoners for free, discovering commoner geniuses, so that the profession of Spirit Master would not be monopolized by the powerful and the sects;

Opposing and suppressing Spirit Beast stampedes, protecting those ordinary people;

Hunting down evil Spirit Masters, cleansing these human scums.

From an objective perspective, the existence of the Spirit Hall was beneficial for commoner Spirit Masters.

Although the Spirit Hall revealed its ambition in the later stages of the novel, wanting to unify the entire continent.

And, having taken action for it, sparking the Battle of Jialing Pass which involved many.

However, Zhou Heng felt that this was understandable; after all, every individual has selfish motives and ambitions.

How many people died when the First Emperor of Qin unified the six states, yet later generations still respect him immensely and revere him as the Ancestral Dragon.

It is nothing more than the winner being king and the loser being the villain.

Zhou Heng does not want to get involved in the conflict between Tang San and the Spirit Hall.

Zhou Heng only wants to strive to improve his own strength; he does not want to give up those opportunities found in novels.

Only after possessing sufficient strength can one decide whether they can be free and unfettered.

Without strength, everything is just empty talk.
