Douluo Tang San, stop rolling around

Chapter 2-Awakening
One morning a month later, Yu Shuting went to the Wuhun Branch Hall to borrow the Awakening Stone. When she returned home, she saw her son pacing back and forth in front of the store with a nervous and worried look on his face.

She walked up to Xu Dongyang, smiled, touched his head and said, "Don't be nervous. Your father and I are both soul masters. You will definitely be able to awaken your martial soul and become a soul master."

Xu Dongyang rolled his eyes speechlessly and did not respond. He thought to himself, "So what if I can't become a god in the end? I have been here, I have tried hard, and I have persisted. It's good enough as long as I have no regrets." His heart calmed down and his eyes were firm.

Then he followed his mother to an empty hall. His mother took out six crystals and placed them in six positions on the ground.

Randomly, she saw her martial spirit possessed, and two soul rings, one white and one yellow, appeared on her body. A blue bird appeared behind her with lightning flashing all over its body. As her soul power surged, the six crystals on the ground glowed and connected to each other to form a hexagram pattern.

"Stand inside." Mother's voice rang out, and Xu Dongyang stood in the center of the magic circle. Soon he felt something surging out of his body. A stick appeared in his right hand, with lightning flashing on it.

Yu Shuting said, "It's the same as your father's martial soul, the Ruyi Stick, but it seems to have mutated a bit and inherited my lightning attribute."

Then he took out a crystal ball and handed it over.

Xu Dongyang nodded and placed his hand on the crystal ball. A suction force came from his palm, and the crystal ball lit up with dazzling light.

"Innate soul power level eight, my son is truly a genius!"

His mother's excited voice reached his ears. Xu Dongyang felt the movement of his martial soul and put it away. Then he saw his mother squatting in front of him and hugging him.

The two hugged for a while, and Yu Shuting said:
"Son, do you want to join the Spirit Hall? With your qualifications, you can be trained as a Soul Sage or even a Soul Douluo in the future."

Xu Dongyang shook his head. "I'm not familiar with the Spirit Hall. I'll consider it after I grow up and have a better understanding of the spirit master world. I'll go to Notting College first."

Yu Shuting nodded. She respected her son's choice.

"Then mom will go to the Spirit Hall to get your Spirit Master certificate. Without it, you can't go to the Spirit Master Academy."

After his mother left, Xu Dongyang returned to his room.

Sitting on the bed, Xu Dongyang summoned his martial soul. The stick was completely black with unknown patterns wrapped around it. From time to time, a black light flashed by, accompanied by a faint electric light wrapped around the stick.

"My martial soul seems to have combined the advantages of my parents, and also has the properties of thunder attribute soul power. The innate soul power is level 8. Overall, the start is quite satisfactory."

Xu Dongyang thought to himself, and then weighed the stick in his hand, which was about 20 kilograms.

He was not satisfied with this weight. In his opinion, the stick was a heavy weapon and should be developed towards the goal of having great force and being able to break all obstacles with one force. Developing these elements was simply wasting time.

After all, no matter how much you develop the elements, it is impossible to have more advantages than elemental martial spirits. However, since you have elemental characteristics, you should naturally make use of them.

"In the early stage of martial soul, the main focus is to increase the basic weight attribute of martial soul. The best soul ring is an amplification soul skill, and the best soul beast is earth and gold."

Xu Dongyang sat cross-legged on the bed with his five hearts facing the sky. "The next step is to develop elemental attributes. You can try the lightning body forging and Chidori that often appear in fan fiction."

Xu Dongyang immediately circulated the soul power in his body and converted it into lightning to try to stimulate his body, but how could it be so natural in reality?
After several hours of repeated attempts, the result was nothing like he had imagined.

"As expected, novels are all lies. How can divine skills be so easy to master? How can such violent and destructive energy as lightning be easily used to cleanse the essence and marrow and strengthen the physique? If it is really possible, then wouldn't the more gentle soul power be easier to use to cleanse the body? Wouldn't everyone be able to use soul power to strengthen the body?"

After several attempts, Xu Dongyang did not feel any improvement in his body functions. Instead, he felt a burning and tingling sensation in his meridians.

Just like that, Xu Dongyang stood up with sweat all over his forehead. The long-term soul power control consumed a lot of his physical strength.

"Let's go eat first. Creating your own soul skills is not something that can be done overnight."

After dinner, Xu Dongyang stayed in bed to refine his soul power until nightfall. It wasn't that he didn't intend to study lightning body forging, but too many attempts made his meridians ache, and he was worried about leaving a hidden disease.

The next day, after Xu Dongyang finished his morning exercise and had his meal, he went out and walked into a herbal medicine shop.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a medicinal fragrance. He looked around and saw a middle-aged man with brown-black hair and glasses looking at the account book. He looked a little old and had a scar at the corner of his eye.

"Uncle Yang!" Xu Dongyang shouted.

"It's Xiaoyang." The middle-aged man raised his head and took a look. A smile appeared on his serious face in an instant, and his sharp eyes became kind.

"What's the matter that brings you here so early?" asked the middle-aged man.

Xu Dongyang ran to Uncle Yang and said, "It's like this. I want to learn pharmacology from you for a while."

"This is not something you can learn completely in a short period of time. Learning half-heartedly can be fatal." Uncle Yang said seriously.

"I'm going to become a soul master, so I want to learn how to nourish and regulate my body effectively. After all, the body is the key to the strength of a soul master." Xu Dongyang said stubbornly.

Uncle Yang's expression eased a lot. "Then come over when you have time and learn as much as you can."

Xu Dongyang said happily, "Let's start now."

Xu Dongyang spent the whole morning studying pharmacology. After lunch at home, he planned to go to the blacksmith shop to find Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang and Uncle Yang were his father's friends, who were good at herbal medicine and forging respectively.

When he arrived at the blacksmith shop, he could feel a wave of heat mixed with the smell of sweat and the sound of knocking. A naked man covered in sweat walked over.

"Xiaoyang, are you looking for Lao Wang?" the man asked without surprise, obviously knowing Xu Dongyang.

"Well, I asked Uncle Wang to help me make something. Is he here now?" Xu Dongyang asked.

"Yes, I'll take you there." The man turned around and led the way without asking too many questions. Xu Dongyang hurriedly followed.

Soon, under the guidance of the man, they came to a burly man with dreadlocks and a rough face.

The man heard the noise, glanced at it and said, "Xiaoyang, are you here to pick up something? Come with me when the things are ready."

After saying that, he took Xu Dongyang towards a room, and the other man left when he saw this.

When the two of them walked into the room, Uncle Wang took out a box and gave it to Xu Dongyang, saying, "The things are inside, but I've never seen this thing on the mainland. Where did you get it from?"

Xu Dongyang smiled guiltily and said, "I saw it in a miscellaneous book. I don't know anything else."

I took the box, opened it, looked at it, and then closed it.
"Uncle Wang, you go ahead and I'll go back and try the results."

After saying that, he turned around and trotted away.

Uncle Wang was left alone, opening his mouth but hesitating to speak.

Xu Dongyang did not go home immediately, but came to an uninhabited forest outside the city. After looking around to make sure there was no one, he squatted down and opened the box.

There was a pistol inside. Xu Dongyang had been a soldier in his previous life, so he naturally had some knowledge about firearms. The pistol inside was naturally copied based on his memories of his previous life.

After picking up the gun and loading the bullet, he looked around to make sure there was no one around and then fired a shot at a tree.

After the "bang" sound, Xu Dongyang went forward to check. The bullet easily penetrated the tree and made a small hole on the ground a hundred meters away. Seeing this, Xu Dongyang nodded silently with satisfaction, then put away the pistol and disposed of the discarded bullets and went home contentedly.

(The power of the pistol has been modified here. After all, in the original novel, ancient cold weapons like Zhuge's magic crossbow can penetrate gold and shatter stones. It's normal that the pistol is more powerful than Zhuge's magic crossbow.)
At night, Xu Dongyang returned home and lay on the bed thinking, "With a pistol, I have a certain ability to protect myself against soul masters below Soul King and soul beasts below ten thousand years old, which is enough to protect me in the early stage."

Now that winter has just passed, there is still half a year before Notting College starts. I will try to reach level 10 before the start of the school year.

Thinking of this, Xu Dongyang sat up and began to meditate. He planned to replace sleep with meditation in the future to make full use of his time.

In the following days, Xu Dongyang completed morning exercises of swinging the stick 1000 times and running 10 kilometers every morning. Without any special training methods, he could only stick to the simplest basic exercises. He believed that even the simplest movements could become unique skills if practiced ten thousand times. He did not have any cool moves that could be named, so he practiced every most basic movement to be "faster, harder, and more accurate."

After morning exercises and lunch, he would study pharmacology with Uncle Yang at the pharmacy in the morning, practice soul power control in the afternoon, and meditate to refine his soul power in the evening.
