Douluo Continent: I am the true master

Chapter 2 My roommate, Gintoki!

At this moment, Ye Wen asked, "Grandpa, how did you know that my soul power wasn't just at the fourth level of the Innate Realm?"

At this moment, Ye Buyi was in a very good mood, and with a showy expression on his face, he slowly spoke.

"Xiao Wen, you will know this knowledge in the future, but I will tell you today that in the Douluo Continent, the elements are divided into seven main elements, as well as various other rare elements."

The seven elements are divided into three upper elements and four lower elements. The three upper elements are light, darkness, and space. A martial soul possessing one of these three elemental attributes is considered a high-level martial soul. Although the books I read before didn't explicitly state the innate soul power of a martial soul, there was a statement that its innate soul power is extremely high. Since innate level four soul power is only considered average, your innate soul power should be at least level five.

When Ye Buyi mentioned level 5 and above, his expression of pleasure deepened. Clearly, he had high hopes for Ye Wen's future, believing he would definitely become a source of glory for his family. Furthermore, a martial soul with spatial properties, if developed well, would be highly sought after on the continent even without offensive capabilities.

Although Ye Buyi was very happy, Ye Wen was a little troubled and muttered to himself.

"But Grandpa, although my innate soul power is high, I can't use this ancestral meditation method. After all, my martial soul has mutated, and it's definitely different from your Willpower Headband cultivation method. How am I supposed to cultivate now?"

Ye Buyi didn't take Ye Wen's troubles to heart and said cheerfully.

"It's alright, it's alright. The so-called meditation methods are actually quite similar. They all involve visualizing one's own martial soul and then using the condensed soul power to continuously refine and transform the martial soul to upgrade it."

The meditation method passed down in our family is, in essence, just a summary and compilation of the various insights and techniques of our ancestors. Therefore, even if your martial soul mutates, it won't have much of an impact. The most crucial part is the record of the soul power channels within the body in this meditation method. This was summarized bit by bit by our ancestors with blood and tears. I've heard that those powerful forces have more complete diagrams of opening the soul power meridians within the body, but unfortunately, they never open them to us commoners. Alas.

Next, Ye Buyi began to teach Ye Wen meditation step by step, and Ye Wen saw the various records about the soul power channel in this meditation method, which surprised him.

"Although it looks somewhat incomplete, it has the basic form of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine theory."

As Ye Wen gained a deeper understanding, he realized that these soul power channels were actually the so-called meridians. These meridians determined the total amount of soul power in a soul master's body, while the martial soul itself determined the direction of the soul master's cultivation and the lower limit of their strength.

Under Ye Buyi's tutelage, Ye Wen also learned how to conceal his soul imprint. Although Ye Buyi was not powerful at all, his years of experience had taught Ye Wen that the essence of a soul master's battle was also a battle of intelligence. Once you thoroughly understand the opponent's information, you can exploit their weaknesses to defeat them. Therefore, you should not reveal your information casually. For those knowledgeable people, it is easy to deduce the soul master's weaknesses from the soul imprint.

For example, if the enemy is fire-attribute, use water-attribute to counter them, and vice versa. Also, the type of the enemy's martial spirit can help deduce their strengths, allowing you to counter them.

Furthermore, Ye Wen did not tell Ye Buyi about his twin martial souls. On the one hand, he was worried that the old man would not be able to handle the surprise, and on the other hand, he did not want to worry the old man. After all, there were no examples of people successfully cultivating twin martial souls on the continent. And he was so young. If Ye Buyi knew, he might worry that he would fall into the brain-dead act of hunting for the soul ring of a second martial soul in order to increase his strength.

In the months leading up to the start of the semester, Ye Wen had been meditating constantly. He clearly felt the transformation of his martial soul, but his soul power quality remained at level ten. However, Ye Wen didn't tell Ye Buyi any of this, mainly because he was worried that the elderly man wouldn't be able to handle the stimulation. Living with hope like this now might allow him to live a little longer.

Furthermore, as Ye Wen continued his cultivation, he discovered that his previously forgotten memories of his past life were beginning to surface clearly in his mind. This left Ye Wen with a somewhat amused and exasperated feeling; perhaps this was the compensation for not having a cheat code in his transmigration.

During this time, Ye Buyi gave Ye Wen the simple ring and a bag of gold coins, and said, "Little Wen, I've known you're an extremely intelligent child ever since I watched you grow up. You like to think and read. Come with me to the city to learn about this world."

I have seen all of this, so from now on I will entrust these two items to you for safekeeping. They are the last remaining treasures of our family that have been passed down to this day.

This ring is a low-level soul tool with a one-cubic-meter storage capacity, and this bag contains 700 gold soul coins. These are the soul master allowances your father and I have saved up over the years.

However, you must remember not to flaunt your wealth. Keep these two items hidden and conceal the characteristics of your Martial Soul Space. The Martial Soul knowledge that an old man like me knows, your school's teachers also know. It's already difficult enough for us commoner Soul Masters to have talent. Don't get involved in those pointless struggles between high-level Soul Masters and nobles. What you need to do is continuously improve your Soul Power, hunt for Soul Rings, and restore the glory of your ancestors.

Grandpa, I will always be there to watch over you in Holy Soul Village. Keep striving, child.

With the start of the school year at Notting Junior Academy, Ye Buyi sent Ye Wen to the school. Unlike in the original story, they did not encounter any difficulties from the gatekeeper, and everything was peaceful and uneventful.

Although his family was wealthy, Ye Wen kept his wealth hidden. He entered the college as a work-study student and lived in the controversial co-ed dormitory.

Although the gatekeeper's harassment and the so-called apprenticeship ceremony were gone, it seemed that the unspoken rules among the work-study students had existed for decades. A burly, chubby guy brazenly blocked Ye Wen's path into the dormitory and said arrogantly.

"A new part-time worker?"

Ye Wen calmly asked, "What brings you here?"

After all, he was just a little kid, and he seemed to be intimidated by Ye Wen's attitude, so he could only suppress his imposing manner and say something awkwardly.

"Because we are all work-study students, we are easily targeted by those nobles. So we need to unite, and to unite, we need a leader. I am now the leader of this dormitory. Now you have to accept my challenge. If you win, you will be the leader. If you don't accept, you will be my subordinate. You will have to do whatever I tell you to do."

Although he already knew this was going to happen, Ye Wen still pretended to be thoughtful and said, "I see. If we're going to fight, then let's fight. But this place is cramped, so let's go outside to fight. Otherwise, if we break the bed, we'll have to pay for it to the school."

In an instant, the huge dormitory was deserted, and people went to the small playground outside.

"I'm Chen Pi, possessing a martial spirit. My name is Chen Pi, my martial spirit is Lone Wolf, and I'm a level four soul master," the chubby Chen Pi said arrogantly.

In contrast, Ye Wen appeared quite calm, assuming a Xingyi Quan starting stance and saying, "Ye Wen, Martial Soul Black Cloth, Level 5 Soul Warrior. Please enlighten me."

"You're not even summoning your Martial Soul? Are you looking down on me? You're asking for it!"

With a roar, Chen Pi charged forward. Although he was short, his enormous size immediately made those around him feel that he was terrifying.

Ye Wen just stood there, seemingly stunned, but no one knew that Ye Wen was completely unmoved by Chen Pi's mindless charge.

Although he was a medical student in his previous life, it doesn't mean Ye Wen was unfamiliar with martial arts. On the contrary, his mentor during his university years was a martial arts master who enjoyed teaching Ye Wen and his fellow young people the Five Animal Frolics and Xingyi Quan, traditional Chinese martial arts. He even went so far as to say that the flowers of the motherland shouldn't be so delicate and should be strong and healthy.

Although the Five Animal Frolics and Xingyi Quan may sound like just a fitness martial art, Ye Wen knew that it also contained deadly moves, it just depended on who used them.

Furthermore, since he didn't have any internal energy cultivation techniques like Tang San after transmigrating, young Ye Wen practiced the Five Animal Frolics in his spare time in order to increase his innate soul power. Although he didn't feel any soul power, it did indeed strengthen his body. However, this kind of strengthening was different from the bulky muscles of Westerners; instead, it made Ye Wen's physique more streamlined, making him look soft and perfect.

No sooner said than done, Chen Pi appeared within three steps of Ye Wen.

Without saying a word, it raised its sharp claws, intending to slap Ye Wen to the ground.

But in an instant, Ye Wen's eyes turned fierce, like a hungry tiger eyeing Chen Pi, creating an invisible aura of power.

But before anyone else present could even feel it, Ye Wen lunged forward, changing his "Black Tiger Claws the Heart" tiger palm strike into a regular palm strike to reduce the force, and directly struck Chen Pi in the chest, sending Chen Pi flying and rolling to the ground.

Even without using soul power or the standard application of the Black Tiger Heart-Piercing Technique, this single palm strike still caused a six-year-old child to scream in pain and fall to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

In an instant, everyone present fell silent.

"Now, I, the boss, if you have any objections, step forward," Ye Wen said fiercely.

Everyone was so frightened that they fell silent and quickly retreated.

They're still just kids; they get scared if you're even slightly stern.

Then Ye Wen looked at Chen Pi, who was lying on the ground and hadn't recovered for a long time, and said, "Do you submit? If you don't, I can give you another chance to challenge me. If you submit, you are not allowed to disobey me afterward."

At this moment, Chen Pi looked at Ye Wen with obvious fear in his eyes, and dared not resist. He quickly nodded and said.

"I'm convinced. From now on, you're the boss of our dormitory."

Seeing how well his new underling was doing, Ye Wen showed a satisfied expression. He then went into the dormitory and chose a bed by the window to start setting up his things.

Just then, a pleasant voice came from behind and asked, "Excuse me, is this Dormitory 3?"

Ye Wen subconsciously turned his head and glanced at her, immediately unable to look away. He saw a little girl, as delicate as a porcelain doll, standing at the door. She had long, smooth blue hair like silver grass, and even though she hadn't fully grown up, she was already a rare beauty. Most importantly, she exuded a quiet and approachable aura from within.

Meanwhile, Chen Pi, the former leader and now the number one underling, has started to show his presence again.

"You're a new work-study student too, right? This is Dormitory 3. I'm the second oldest in the dormitory, you can also call me Second Brother."

"Hello, my name is A-Yin. May I come in?" A-Yin said with a smile.

The slightly clumsy Chen Pi then realized that he was blocking the doorway and quickly stepped aside.

"Oh, come in."

Ye Wen, the dormitory leader who had been silent all along, was having a brainstorming session. Looking at the Douluo series, the name Ah Yin was unique, and with that innate unique temperament, if the girl in front of him had Blue Silver Grass as her martial soul, then she would probably be meeting the protagonist's mother ahead of time, which would be a big problem.

Seeing Ah Yin place her luggage on the bed next to him, Ye Wen's eyes hardened for a moment.

Whether out of public or private motives, I have already transmigrated to this world of Douluo Continent, and the course of this world has begun to change dramatically. This is the so-called butterfly effect.

To be honest, Ye Wen has never really liked the character Tang San Shao. On the surface, he is a gentleman, but behind the scenes, he is a treacherous villain.

When he entered Notting, he wanted to kill the gatekeeper over a small argument. Yu Xiaogang guessed that his twin martial souls might harm him and also wanted to kill Yu Xiaogang. The Soul Fighting Competition was fair and just. There was a pair of brothers who wanted to kill Xiao Wu because they hurt her.

gentleman?

Seeing the Spirit Hall's defeat in the finale and the so-called peerless power of Douluo Continent II, Ye Wen completely lost faith in this scoundrel. After all, the so-called Tang Clan was an assassination sect that used insidious hidden weapons. It was unrealistic to expect the people there to be benevolent heroes. Moreover, as an ordinary person who grew up under the banner of the Red Revolution, Ye Wen found this aristocratic feudal era truly unbearable.

Therefore, Ye Wen made up his mind to change the future of this world from this moment on, perhaps this is the meaning of his coming into this world.

At this moment, Ah Yin began to introduce herself in a natural and generous manner.

"Hello everyone, my name is A Yin, my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and my soul power is..."

"Is your spirit beast Blue Silver Grass? That's pitiful. It's rare for you to possess spirit power, but it's such a low-level spirit beast. From the books I've read before, your spirit power is definitely no more than level two. But don't worry. As long as we're still here, we won't let nobles bully you. This is the unity we commoners must have. If you have any questions in the future, you can come and ask me."

"Do you all understand? We come from humble origins, so we must unite, otherwise any noble can shit and piss on our heads. As the leader, my first order is that we must act together as much as possible from now on. Although we can't beat those so-called seniors, we can deter some of the weaker minor nobles. After all, even the strongest fists can't beat four hands, and a flurry of punches can defeat a master." Ye Wen suddenly interjected.

Ah Yin was stunned for a few seconds. She just wanted to give a simple self-introduction, so why was she interrupted like this? However, after hearing what Ye Wen said next, she just nodded as if she understood.

Meanwhile, the group of roommates, who were also freshmen, now have great faith in this new leader. After all, they were all uneducated peasants with no lineage, and when they suddenly encountered such a domineering leader, they would naturally subconsciously agree with him.

Next, Ye Wen used the inspirational saying that diligence can make up for lack of talent to motivate everyone in the dormitory to start their own self-cultivation.

Seeing that the messy dormitory had finally settled down, Ye Wen slowly walked up to A Yin.

As Ah Yin was making her bed, she looked at Ye Wen who was walking over and a hint of doubt flashed across her face. She tilted her head and said softly.

"What's up, boss?"

Looking at the adorable little girl in front of him, Ye Wen suddenly understood why Tang Buddha in the original story was so obsessed with the Little Dance Party.

Based on the original text's description of Xiao Wu, it's easy to imagine how lively, pure, and beautiful she truly is, although her fiery temper is somewhat unbearable. However, for Tang San, who comes from the Tang Sect, a sect of unorthodox and treacherous nature, and whose fate is tragic, defiling this beauty, or rather, protecting this beauty, may have become a subconscious desire within him.

Ah Yin, on the other hand, possesses a different kind of beauty. Though she hasn't fully blossomed yet, her beauty is otherworldly, carrying an intangible air of nobility and a gentle demeanor. It's hard for any adult soul not to be moved.

"No, no, little lolis are the best! No, no, we gentlemen absolutely cannot be sentenced to death."

Clearing his mind of distractions, Ye Wen became more serious and whispered in Ah Yin's ear.

"Come out with me for a moment, I have something important to tell you."
