Douluo: Suzaku bathed in fire, I am the master of fire

Chapter 1 Martial Spirit Awakening
Barak Kingdom, Soto City, Koko Village.

Because the village is rich in fowl spirits, and the fowl makes a clucking sound, it is named Clucking Village.

In the Awakening Hall of Keke Village, there was a middle-aged man with a rather peculiar appearance. Why was he so peculiar? He was tall and thin, with a sharp face and a hooked nose. He wore black-framed glasses, which were of an old-fashioned square shape. There was also a hint of cunning between his eyebrows.

"Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu, hurry up! If the master gets angry and doesn't allow you to awaken, you'll have to wait until next year to awaken."

A chubby little boy in linen clothes and a Mohawk shouted.

The child who was called had a slender figure, and the delicateness between his eyebrows and eyes could be seen even though he was still young. However, compared to the anxious little fat boy, he was very calm.

"I know, why are you in such a hurry?" Hearing the shout, Ye Qiu slowly walked over and rolled his eyes.

The chubby boy is named Ma Hongjun, one of the Seven Devils of Shitlake and the owner of the Evil Fire Phoenix. As for Ye Qiu, he is our protagonist.

"This should be Flanders."

Ye Qiu thought in his heart as he looked at the hook-nosed man in front of him.

Then he looked at Ma Hongjun beside him, smacked his lips and thought to himself, "The original novel says that Ma Hongjun awakened the Evil Fire Phoenix when he was still a child and was taken away by Flender. But they don't know what my martial soul is."

That's right, Ye Qiu is a time traveler and a Tang scholar. He has all the books of Douluo Dalu from one to three. Before traveling through time, he was a pure-hearted college student who came from an orphanage. The reason he traveled through time was that he was hit by a truck while playing games at home. When he opened his eyes again, it was this world. Moreover, his home was on the eighteenth floor. This sounds outrageous and no one would believe it if he told it out loud. But the fact is that he traveled through time so vividly that even he himself couldn't believe it.

To be honest, he had not expected to travel through time. When he opened his eyes and found himself in a strange world, he would be lying if he wasn't scared, not to mention that he couldn't understand what people were saying. Later, he learned to read and speak and found himself in Douluo Continent.

He knew Douluo Dalu very well. The first part was nicknamed "The Story of Tang Buddha's Becoming a God", the second part was called "The Story of Tang Buddha's Dog Training", and the third part was even called "The Story of Tang Jiaxing's Transformation". As for why there were no fourth and fifth parts, it was simply because he couldn't continue reading after finishing the third part.

After he learned to speak, he inquired about the time. Since the Spirit Hall was still there and there was a chubby boy named Ma Hongjun in the village, he knew that this was the world of Dou Yi. Fortunately, it was Dou Yi. If it was Dou Er or Dou San, it would be difficult because the spirit had to be awakened with money.

After all, how could one not practice when coming to the world of cultivation? Not to mention that Douluo is the world where it is easiest to achieve immortality. An Extreme Douluo can live for a thousand years if he has no hidden injuries. If he becomes a god, it will be difficult for him to die, of course, as long as he doesn't seek death.

Having said that, Ye Qiu was an orphan in this life. He was brought back by an old man from outside the village when he was very young. The old man treated him very well and, as he had no children, he raised him as his own grandson. However, the old man died when Ye Qiu was five years old. He did not die of any illness or disaster, but of natural causes.

As for today's martial soul awakening, Ye Qiu did not hold out much hope. If his innate soul power was low, he would try to get the magic grass. If he couldn't get it, he would just let it go. If he had good talent, he would practice well and then live in a corner.

"My name is Flanders. I will awaken your martial spirits for you."

While Ye Qiu was thinking, the hook-nosed man said coldly.

"It's Flanders indeed."

Ye Qiu thought to himself after hearing what Flanders said.

Ye Qiu was not surprised by Flanders' attitude. After all, a Soul Sage was considered a high-level soul master on the mainland, and a mainstay in some sects.

After Flanders finished his introduction, he got straight to work without any hesitation.

Flanders' martial spirits didn't even possess any other beings; he directly awakened the children's martial spirits. {PS: High-level spirit masters can help with awakening without using any awakening formations.}
"Martial Soul Turkey, no soul power." "Martial Soul Chicken, no soul power."

"Martial Soul Chicken, no soul power."

"If it's not a chicken, why is it a ball? Hmm, innate soul power. Level two and a half?"

Flanders was confused at this time. There were no students in his academy, so he wanted to try his luck out. However, he started off badly. But since he was already here, he couldn't just leave halfway. He could only hope that the kids behind him could give him some help.

"There are only two of you left. Who will go first?"

After awakening a few more children, Flanders no longer held out hope and asked Ma Hongjun and Ye Qiu in front of him.

"Master, let me do it!" Ma Hongjun said excitedly.

After saying that, Ma Hongjun came to Flanders.

Flanders didn't mind who came first. At this moment, he just wanted to finish quickly and go back. So, Flanders began to awaken Ma Hongjun's martial soul.

Following Flanders' guidance, Ma Hongjun's whole body glowed with golden light. Soon after, with a neigh, a pheasant with purple-red flames appeared behind Ma Hongjun.

"Oh? It looks like a phoenix? But not entirely. Soul power. Innate level nine!" Flanders didn't care when he saw Ma Hongjun's martial soul at first, but after sensing Ma Hongjun's soul power, he changed his face at the speed of light.

"No, such a good seedling must be accepted. Maybe he can become a Titled Douluo, or at least a Soul Douluo. If I can train him into a talented person, I, Flanders, will be proud. But his flame is a little weird. Never mind. Let's wait and see the next one. Maybe there will be a surprise." Flanders thought to himself.

Flanders' martial spirit is the Four-Eyed Cat-Owl, with an innate eighth-level spirit power. He had just broken through to Soul Saint a year ago, and now has a seventy-second-level spirit power. {PS: It doesn't say how much innate spirit power Flanders has, but he was a Soul Douluo during the dual-god battle, so his talent should be about the same as Ning Fengzhi's.}
"Wow, this face-changing doesn't cost beans? Starting from zero frames? Did you learn it from Sichuan???" Ye Qiu was shocked when he saw Flanders' face-changing.

"I can become a soul master! I can become a soul master!" Ma Hongjun let out a monkey cry.

"Don't make noise." Flanders said.

As soon as these words were spoken, Ma Hongjun immediately quieted down, and then Flanders signaled Ye Qiu to come forward.

Ye Qiu stepped forward nervously. It would be a lie if he wasn't nervous. Ye Qiu was very panicked at this moment. He was afraid that his martial soul was not good and his innate soul power was low, but he was also afraid that his martial soul was good and his innate soul power was high. If his martial soul was not good, it would be okay, as Flanders would definitely look down on him. But if his martial soul was good, he would definitely be forcibly taken away if he refused Flanders' invitation. Flanders was really capable of doing such a thing.

Following the guidance of Flender's soul power, Ye Qiu felt warm all over, just like taking a hot spring bath.

"Wow!"

With a shriek, a large bird with bright red feathers appeared behind Ye Qiu. Its eyes were as bright as stars, its wings were broad and powerful, and it radiated a warm and dazzling light. {I couldn't find out what the Vermillion Bird looked like, but I did find that the Vermillion Bird existed before the Phoenix, so I'll use the Phoenix image here.}
"What is this? Phoenix! Innate soul power, level ten!" Flanders said in disbelief.

Flanders had never seen a phoenix, but when he saw the shadow behind Ye Qiu, he felt that the phoenix was just like that.
