Douluo Continent: Blood Spear Martial Soul, Soul Rings that can unleash divine power?

Wuhun City, orphanage.

Inside the courtyard, a dozen or so children lined up in an orderly fashion. The usually lively children were now waiting quietly like quails. Each child had a different expression on their face—nervousness and excitement.

Today is the day of Martial Soul Awakening.

The awakening ceremony was presided over by a three-ring Soul Master sent by the Spirit Hall. It wasn't particularly grand, but it was formal enough, considering it was an orphanage.

Most of those who awaken have useless martial souls, and if they had the support of their parents' bloodline, they probably wouldn't have entered this world.

Lin Yu was at the very back of the line, and he still found it a bit unbelievable that the people in front of him were either awakened scythes or awakened dog eggs.

Lin Yu, whose real name is Lin Yu, is an outstanding young man of the 21st century. He woke up one day to find himself transported to the Douluo Continent.

I thought that since I was an orphan, I was at least a protagonist template, but now, looking at the kids who awakened useless martial souls, they all seem like protagonists!

The most promising one awakened a wooden stick and possessed innate soul power level 2. At this moment, he was standing proudly on the other side, his chin almost pointing to the sky.

She deliberately turned back to look at Lin Yu, her provocation in her eyes undisguised.

That kid's name is Li Shanshao. Last night, he and Lin Yu were beaten up on the ground over a chicken leg.

As a transmigrator with memories of two lifetimes, and still not sure how to survive, it's no wonder she doesn't get along with a bunch of kids.

Lin Yu remembered clearly that Li Shanshao pointed at his nose and cursed, "What are you so smug about? You'll awaken tomorrow, and you might not even have a hair on your head. I'll beat you to death then!"

Lin Yu didn't retort at the time because he wasn't sure himself.

If things reverse, you might get kicked even if you're just crying in a corner.

"Next."

The Soul Master who presided over the awakening was a middle-aged man with a lazy voice, who didn't even lift his eyelids.

"..."

Seeing that no one was coming up, the Soul Master looked up and saw that there was still a child standing in the same spot.

"Next!"

The Soul Master's voice grew louder, carrying a clear hint of anger, pulling Lin Yu back to reality.

Seeing that it was his turn so quickly, Lin Yu took a deep breath, suppressed his nervousness, and strode to the center of the Martial Soul Awakening Formation.

The Soul Master opened his mouth, and said routinely, "Place your hand on it, close your eyes, and feel the power within your body."

Six jet-black stones beneath his feet glowed faintly, and gentle fluctuations of soul power enveloped his limbs and bones. He closed his eyes and began to sense it.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

No response?

Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be?

Does this mean that even time travelers can be useless? The novel didn't mention that!

His breathing started to become a little erratic.

Whispers from behind reached my ears.

"Why did it take so long?"

"Could it be that he doesn't have a martial spirit?"

"It's possible. I often see him spacing out. Maybe he's an idiot. Even the Soul Master is angry."

Li Shanshao's voice was the clearest: "Haha, I knew he was useless..."

The words were cut short before they could be finished.

Lin Yu sensed something stirring deep within his soul, like a dormant ancient weapon slowly awakening.

It's coming out!!!

"Boom!!!"

A deafening roar echoed over Wuhun City, causing the children watching the spectacle to collapse to the ground in shock.

Centered on Lin Yu, the sky within a radius of several miles above was dyed blood red.

A spear grew out of Lin Yu's palm.

The spear was entirely blood-red, as if it had just been pulled from a pool of blood, and there was a cold glint at the tip, which made one's skin tighten.

Those with low soul power would tremble uncontrollably and break out in a cold sweat just by looking at it, as if they were being dragged into an endless hell.

Fortunately, the feeling of palpitation only lasted for a moment, and the sky returned to normal. People then came to their senses, as if what had just happened was just an illusion.

Lin Yu opened his eyes and looked at the spear in his hand.

He was stunned.

Three seconds of dead silence.

The first Soul Master to react moved.

He practically pounced on him, completely abandoning his earlier sluggishness. He rushed to Lin Yu, his eyes fixed on the blood-red spear. His lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but then swallowed it back.

He turned around abruptly, snatched a crystal from the table, and shoved it into Lin Yu's hand.

The crystal shone brightly, shining like a small sun.

The Soul Master's pupils contracted violently.

"A top-tier weapon spirit...with innate full soul power!!!"

He murmured, his voice growing softer and softer, as if confirming something unbelievable.

Then, he raised his head, looked at Lin Yu, and the expression on his face began to change.

From shock, to forced smiles, and then to an almost fawning enthusiasm.

"Lin Yu, right? Good boy, good boy!" He reached out to pat Lin Yu's shoulder, but withdrew his hand halfway, wiped it on his clothes, and then put it back on his shoulder. "I was blind just now and didn't notice. Don't take it to heart."

Lin Yu looked at him without saying anything.

The Soul Master's smile froze for a moment, but quickly became even more enthusiastic: "Don't worry, a genius like you will definitely be given special attention by the Spirit Hall. I'll take you to see the Deacon later. If you need anything in the future, just let me know!"

Lin Yu nodded and returned the crystal to him.

Only then did he take a second look at his martial spirit.

The spear was still in his hand, heavy with weight.

Looking at its shape... it resembles the Blood Spear of the Black Dragon Heaven, the Lord of the Gods!

He suddenly remembered something.

When that force surged forth, he seemed to "see" something else deep within his mind, besides the spear...

But the feeling disappeared in just a moment.

Lin Yu gripped the spear handle tightly, remaining calm and composed.

"Thank you, sir," he said calmly. "I will remember that."

The Soul Master nodded repeatedly, his smile never fading.

"Alright, I won't say any more. I need to hurry back and report."

Lin Yu nodded, as a farewell.

He turned and walked towards his room.

As he passed by Li Shanshao, he unconsciously lowered his head.

Lin Yu didn't stop walking, and didn't even glance at the other person.

But he heard the sound of Li Shanshao's Adam's apple bobbing; it was very soft, but he still heard it.

"Hmph, what's with the arrogance?"

Lin Yu turned around and patted him on the shoulder, which startled him so much that his heart skipped a beat, and he took two steps back, almost falling to the ground.

Lin Yu raised his hand and slapped him on the head.

"Snapped!"

"How arrogant!"

Li Shanshao winced in pain after being slapped and covered his head with his hand.

Seeing the children around me trying not to laugh, I felt like I was losing face.

His temper flared instantly, and he roared, "Don't be so smug! There are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters!"

"Oh?" Lin Yu rubbed his chin.

"Why does this sound so familiar? Isn't that a famous quote from the 'Useless Master' Yu Xiaogang?"

"To insult oneself twice with a single sentence is to leave a bad name in history."

Just as Li Shanshao was preparing to unleash his attack.

"Snapped!"

The slap came from behind, knocking him to the ground; the buzzing sound still echoed in his ears.

"Who!... Ah." Li Shanshao's momentum clearly weakened.

"Soul Master, you...you're back?"

The Soul Master shouted at him angrily, "Get lost! There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters. Let him come over here and see if he can take my slap!"

The Soul Master ignored him, seeing him lying timidly on the ground without saying a word, and turned to Lin Yu with a completely different expression.

"Hehe, kid, I just left home and then I realized I forgot something important."

"Here you go." He said, taking a bag out of his pocket and stuffing it into Lin Yu's hand.

"This is my savings for getting married, 1000 gold soul coins. Consider it a small gift. Don't forget me if you become successful in the future!"

"By the way, my name is Tang Jia."
