Douluo Continent: The Heavenly Book Transforms into Mortals

Chapter 2 No wonder I wasn't weak (Please add to your favorites!!!)

After chatting with Su Yuntao for a while, Old Jerry took Su Wen home.

"Xiao Wen, I never expected you to be so talented! Hahaha, you'll definitely become a Soul Master!" Old Jerry was happy for Su Wen.

Old Jerry was very happy: "You and Little Fatty both have soul power. I'll try my best to find you some spots so you can study at the Junior Soul Master Academy."

He had already asked Su Yuntao beforehand and found out that none of the other villages that shared the work-study student quota with their Crescent Moon Village had awakened their soul power, and Holy Soul Village had not had any children awaken their soul power this year either.

We can still manage to find two work-study student slots.

"Alright, you're home alone. I'll go check on Little Fatty. Although that kid only has half a level of soul power, he still has soul power, so there's still hope. What if he breaks through to become a Soul Master?" Old Jerry revealed a look of longing.

Even a level 10 Soul Master, as long as they have a Soul Ring, can receive a monthly subsidy from the Spirit Hall!

The difference between a Soul Master and an ordinary person is like heaven and earth.

After Old Jerry left, Su Wen stayed at home alone, studying his martial soul.

"Book Martial Soul"

Looking at the dusty book in his hand, Su Wen didn't complain at all.

Having a poor background is a consequence of one's own lack of skill.

The parents have done their best.

But what path will Shu Wuhun take in the future?

Su Wen stared at his book-shaped martial spirit, and the questions he had pondered many times before began to trouble him again.

In the past, there was a sense of wishful thinking about the possibility of a change, but now we can only honestly face the problem squarely.

"I need ability!"

As ideas began to emerge, Su Wen started to try to develop his own Book Martial Soul.

Heavenly Book!

He named his martial spirit, hoping that it would gradually transform and eventually become a celestial book.

The dusty, ancient book opened, and blank pages were turned over. Su Wen circulated his soul power and began to control his martial soul.

Minutes!

A page detached from the whole book.

"Okay!" Su Wen's eyes lit up.

He focused his attention on the pages and began to manipulate them.

Even though he had only just awakened his martial soul, Su Wen's control over it had already surpassed that of most soul masters, thanks to his talent.

The pages changed size, length, width, and even thickness under the infusion of Su Wen's soul power.

It still cannot escape the realm of book pages.

However, as Su Wen folded the pages of the book...

"Xiao Wen!"

Old Jerry's voice came through.

Su Wen stopped what he was doing, opened the door and saw Old Jerry and Little Fatty outside.

Xiao Pang's real name is Sun Xiao Pang. He looks just like his name, fair-skinned and chubby, with a very honest and simple smile.

"Brother Wen," said the chubby boy.

"Hmm," Su Wen replied, as if to say hello, and looked at Old Jerry.

"You two both have innate soul power; you can't waste your talent," Old Jerry said, raising his right hand and releasing an aura of soul power.

Su Wen was stunned, his eyes widening.

Is Old Jerry still a Soul Master?

"Haha, this old man also has innate soul power, but like Little Fatty, it's only half-level soul power." Old Jerry condensed a sweet potato with soul power in his hand: "However, I've only cultivated to level nine, and I've never been able to break through to level ten, so I'm not a true soul master."

He handed the sweet potato to Su Wen and said with a smile, "Haha, I raised you up with sweet potatoes too."

Su Wen suddenly realized.

No wonder I've never felt weak.

How could there be no consumption when one constantly nourishes oneself to subtly improve the quality of one's martial soul and even one's innate soul power?

It turns out that it was Old Jerry's sweet potato that was providing him with energy.

"Little Fatty, it's good that you have soul power, but with only half a level of soul power, if you don't work hard, you might end up like me, stuck at level nine for life," Old Jerry said seriously.

This was the pain of his life.

"I have a food-type martial soul, so it's naturally difficult for me to cultivate. I'm stuck at level nine. Although you also have half-level soul power, your chances of breaking through to a soul master are greater than mine."

"There are still three months until you enter the Junior Soul Master Academy. During these three months, I will personally teach you meditation techniques, so you must make the most of every minute!"

"First, try to perceive."

Looking at Su Wen, who was in deep meditation, Old Jerry fell silent.

He sensed that Su Wen's soul power was already active.

Meditation, mastered on the first try?

Turning to look at Little Fatty again, his legs, which were sitting cross-legged, were restless, clearly indicating that he hadn't settled down.

"Little Fatty, find a position that makes you comfortable."

"The pages can be folded, but they're not strong enough." Su Wen looked at the paper sword folded into the shape of a small sword in his hand, and poured his soul power into it, trying to change the strength of the pages themselves.

"My Book Martial Soul is still too fragile."

It must be admitted that even if the pages of the Heavenly Book were separated and folded into paper swords, the attack power of these paper swords would still be worrisome.

"The only way to make up for it is with spirit rings."

"Xiao Wen, are you still thinking about using your book spirit to fight?" Old Jerry looked at Su Wen fiddling with the pages of the book in his hand and said helplessly, "If you ask me, your spirit is a book, which is perfect for you to become a scholar. You're so smart and you learn things very quickly. You can do quite well in the future by relying on your theoretical knowledge."

"Okay, Grandpa, I'll consider it."

scholar?

Knowledge is power. Therefore, a scholar without power is not a good scholar, just as an assistant who cannot fight is not a good soldier.

However, to learn knowledge, you need to have something to learn.

Before the start of the semester, the only thing to do is to develop one's martial spirit and lay the foundation for the future.

After awakening his martial soul, Su Wen's physical attributes improved significantly, and he gradually increased the intensity of his training.

Knowing that Old Jerry's martial soul was a sweet potato and that he possessed level nine soul power, Su Wen would eat a few sweet potatoes after each training session before continuing his training.

Without the effects of a soul skill, sweet potatoes are simply rich in energy, making them easier to digest and absorb.

For Su Wen, the results were already very good.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Xiao Wen, Xiao Pang, you must cultivate diligently when you arrive at the Soul Master Academy," Old Jerry repeatedly reminded him on the way.

"The Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy is just ahead." Old Jerry led the two children to the gate. "Hello, I've brought my two children to register for the academy."

Su Wen glimpsed Old Jerry slipping three copper soul coins into the gatekeeper's hand before handing over two certificates.

"Okay, the proof is fine. Go in, but parents aren't allowed in."

"Xiao Wen, Xiao Pang, you two should focus on your training at the academy. I'll come pick you up after school," Old Jerry said again, still worried.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on Little Fatty and make sure he trains properly."

Old Jerry trusted Su Wen completely, nodded, and then reluctantly left.

"Hey security guard, where's the registration desk?"

The gatekeeper accepted the copper soul coins, and since Su Wen's innate soul power was clearly written on the certificate at level five, he showed no impatience.

"See that building? The academic affairs office is on the second floor. Just bring the Spirit Hall certificate and your work-study student information to the director to process it."

"Thanks."

I wonder if I can achieve my goals in this beginner Soul Master Academy.

Su Wen was filled with anticipation.

I won't criticize someone for no reason; my attitude towards a character changes as I experience more.
