Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 1 Crossing the Holy Soul Village

Douluo Star, Douluo Continent, Fasno Province, Holy Soul Village.

Wang Xiaofei, a six-year-old boy, sat bored at his doorstep, waiting for his grandfather, Old Jack, to return. A little while later, Old Jack came home.

"Xiaofei, we've got something delicious to eat today! Look what I bought!"

Upon opening the package, I found a roast chicken inside, and my mouth immediately watered.

Actually, Xiaofei is an orphan. Four years ago, both of Xiaofei's parents died. His father went hunting in the mountains and disappeared, never to return. Xiaofei's mother waited anxiously for him, but died of grief less than six months later. On her deathbed, she entrusted Xiaofei to Old Jack. Seeing Xiaofei's lonely state, Old Jack adopted him. Now, Xiaofei and Old Jack depend on each other for survival.

What no one knew was that Wang Xiaofei was actually a time traveler. Nearly thirty years old, he had accomplished nothing. One day, while watching a movie in his dorm, he got so excited that he kicked over the kettle, and when he woke up, he was in this world.

At first, he didn't know where he was. Once, he saw someone hoeing the ground, and suddenly, a phantom hoe appeared in his left hand, hoeing at lightning speed. It looked somewhat familiar. Others simply conjured a sickle and cut grass at lightning speed. Xiao Fei felt like he had entered some kind of fantasy world.

One day, while in town with Old Jack, Xiao Fei witnessed a fight between two men. One had transformed into a bear, while the other wielded a kitchen knife. Both men had white circles around their bodies. Xiao Fei then realized that he had likely transmigrated to the Douluo Continent.

Xiaofei really enjoyed reading this novel, and he also followed the anime episode by episode. At first, he found it very exciting and thrilling. But upon rereading the novel, he found many things illogical: Tang Sanzang's character was endlessly overpowered, the villains repeatedly seemed to lose their intelligence, and many aspects of human nature were chilling upon closer examination.

The Spirit Hall and the two great empires represent two different classes and different ideologies. In this fantasy world, the aristocratic class actually won in the end, and many of their ideas were considered very backward.

As a transmigrator, Xiao Fei's biggest concern right now is his awakened martial soul and innate soul power. As everyone knows, Douluo Continent is a low-tier fantasy world, also known as a bloodline continent. As a commoner, one has no value in survival. Soul masters are like nobles, while commoners are probably less than weeds.

Xiao Fei has also read a lot of fanfiction. Many people steal Xiao Wu's heart, punch Tang Hao, kick Tang San, have kittens on their left and little witches on their right, marry little angels, and seduce their mothers-in-law.

But in reality, Xiao Fei, who had lived in the Douluo Continent for several years, understood that sometimes the gap between people in the Douluo Continent was greater than the gap between people and dogs. Let alone the simplest example of intercepting Xiao Wu, he'd probably be smashed to death by Tang Hao's hammer before he even started trying. As for the others, if you didn't have absolute talent and strength far exceeding your peers, they probably wouldn't even give you a second glance.

As you may know, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was Qian Renxue's master. They always seemed to have a deep master-disciple relationship, and Ning Fengzhi taught Qian Renxue a lot. But in the blink of an eye, he stabbed her in the back. While 40% of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's members were out on business, he sent 10,000 troops to surround and encircle the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. To say that the Spirit Hall's personnel could have entered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School undetected and successfully surrounded it would have been impossible without Qian Renxue's planning.

As for the other people, they are probably all more difficult to deal with than the last. The only one who might be relatively easy to handle is Ning Rongrong, since she has the least social experience of all of them.

To achieve even a little success in Douluo Continent, one must keep striving.

So, starting at the age of four, Xiao Fei began training himself. Having no martial arts experience in his previous life, and unlike Tang Sanzang, he wasn't from a martial arts world, nor did he know anything about internal energy cultivation. Therefore, he could only do simple personal exercises: running, frog jumps, push-ups, sit-ups, and so on—he did all the fitness exercises he had in his previous life. Xiao Fei also occasionally took a bow and arrow to the nearby hills to hunt wild rabbits and pheasants. In Xiao Fei's eyes, eating well and exercising more were the keys to becoming stronger. Old Jack was very supportive of him.

Moreover, as the village chief, Old Jack lived a relatively good life and would occasionally prepare roast chicken and pork for Xiao Fei. In short, Xiao Fei's diet in Holy Soul Village was probably the best.

As a result, Xiaofei was noticeably half a head taller and much stronger than his peers.

Xiao Fei had considered befriending Tang San, who was from the same village, but he felt that Tang San seemed to be very averse to interacting with people. He always had a cold face and didn't seem like a six-year-old child at all. Moreover, Tang San always liked to run to the mountains behind the village, and he was afraid that following him rashly would lead to his death. Besides, there was also Tang Hao in the village.

Xiao Fei had considered practicing with swords, spears, and clubs, but upon closer inspection, he realized he was completely clueless about all weapons. The only ones he knew a little about were boxing or Sanda (Chinese kickboxing), which would be relatively easy to learn by hitting a punching bag. It seemed he would also need to practice hitting the punching bag for a period of time every day. His only hope was for his martial spirit to awaken.

That day, Old Jack said to Xiao Fei, "Xiao Fei, in three days, Master Su Yuntao from the Spirit Hall will come to awaken our spirits. Be careful with your mental state, don't overwork yourself, and don't hurt yourself." After saying that, Old Jack took Xiao Fei and notified every family in the village who had children of the same age.

These past few days, Xiao Fei has been very nervous, afraid that he might awaken a very poor martial soul or not have innate soul power, in which case he would only be able to farm in the village.

Old Jack didn't seem to care much, saying that if Xiao Fei didn't awaken his soul power, he could stay in the village and inherit his position as village chief, which made Xiao Fei smile wryly. For a transmigrator to become the village chief of Holy Soul Village was simply a disgrace to transmigrators.
