Chapter 1

Yezhiqiu, a single fallen leaf heralds the autumn of the world.

In the early morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Outside the Holy Soul Village of the Douluo Continent, Yezhiqiu lay sprawled on a large rock, seemingly at ease.

However, his lively eyes betrayed a worry that was not typical for his age.

All of this was because the body of this six-year-old child housed the soul of a twenty-first-century adult.

Indeed, Yezhiqiu had been transported to another world.

In fact, Yezhiqiu had initially rejected the idea of being transported.

In his previous life, although his parents were divorced, Yezhiqiu led a very comfortable life.

Apart from the few days each month he had to spend collecting rent from several houses, he was quite content with his life.

However, it seemed that fate had played a cruel joke on him. After watching Naruto and Douluo Continent anime for three days and three nights, he suddenly died.

It was just three days and three nights, something that was a regular occurrence for Yezhiqiu.

But death came so suddenly, leaving him unprepared.

In this familiar yet strange Douluo Continent, Yezhiqiu had already spent six years.

Initially, he found it very difficult to adapt to the simple and austere life after being accustomed to a life of luxury.

However, over the six years, he gradually got used to this simple and plain life.

After all, people adapt.

Over the six years, Yezhiqiu had come to terms with many things.

But there was one thing that was a constant pain in his heart.

In the Douluo Continent, only the strong have a say.

His parents in this life had rather ordinary soul beasts: his mother's soul beast was a small sickle used for cutting blue silver grass, and his father's soul beast was a plow used for farming.

Knowing that soul beasts are mostly inherited, Yezhiqiu did not think he would be an exception. He had a high chance of inheriting his father's plow soul beast.

Therefore, Yezhiqiu was often plagued by anxiety and uncertainty about his future.

Was he destined to inherit his parents' few plots of land and live a life of farming?

No, he was not willing to accept that!

Since he had been transported to this exciting world of the Douluo Continent, Yezhiqiu naturally wanted to live a fulfilling life.

He did not want to spend his days farming.

Rising with the sun and resting with the sunset might sound beautiful, but it was not what Yezhiqiu aspired to.

He wanted to leave a significant mark in this world.

The prerequisite for all of this was that he could awaken a soul beast and possess soul power.

In the Douluo Continent, only those who awaken a soul beast and have soul power can cultivate and become soul masters.

Otherwise, even if you awaken a powerful soul beast, if you have zero soul power from birth, you still do not have the qualifications to cultivate.

Over the six years, Yezhiqiu had also considered asking Tang San, who lived in the same village, to teach him the Xuantian Skill.

However, Tang San was too cunning and kept his mouth shut, claiming that he was just an ordinary person and that his ability to jump several meters was due to daily exercise.

This cunning Tang San left Yezhiqiu at a loss, and his plan to learn the Xuantian Skill was abandoned.

"Hey, I heard from the village chief, Old Jack, that the soul beast awakening will begin the day after tomorrow. What should I do...?"

Yezhiqiu scratched his head in frustration, and his neatly combed black hair quickly turned into a mess.

While Yezhiqiu was buried in his thoughts, a small figure suddenly appeared at the foot of a distant hill.

With short, simple black hair and a face that was both innocent and steady, he was dressed in ordinary clothes with a few patches, but they were clean.

After surveying the surroundings, he lightly tapped his toes on the ground, and his small body soared several meters into the air.

Just before landing, he used his feet to lightly push off other protruding rocks and leaped again.

In the space between the rocks, the small figure moved nimbly, each leap covering several meters.

In no time, the small figure arrived beside Yezhiqiu, landing silently.

"Ah Qiu, are you sunbathing again today?"

Tang San, who had just returned from practicing the Purple Extreme Magic Eye, saw Yezhiqiu's familiar figure at the village entrance as usual and greeted him.

However, his neighbor, who usually seemed carefree, seemed to have something on his mind today.

Yezhiqiu was startled by Tang San's sudden voice and his small body trembled.

He lifted his head, which had been drooping.

Seeing it was Tang San, Yezhiqiu sighed helplessly, "Xiao San, your stealth skills have improved again..."

Tang San smiled sheepishly.

"What's wrong? You usually seem so carefree."

Yezhiqiu rolled his eyes. That was in the past. Now, with a turning point in his life approaching, he was anxious.

"Xiao San, the soul beast awakening is the day after tomorrow. If I have soul power and can cultivate, you must take me along and help me show off, even if it's just to the trash heap, I'll accept it~~~!"

Yezhiqiu looked at Tang San with his lively big eyes, filled with sincerity. He was not joking; he truly meant it.

If he could cultivate, he would cling to Tang San's coattails.

After hearing Yezhiqiu's words, Tang San was taken aback. Yezhiqiu often said things he did not understand, and he did not know where he learned them.

However, seeing Yezhiqiu's sincere expression, Tang San could not bring himself to refuse.

"Although I don't understand what you're saying, I'll agree to this small matter."

Tang San responded readily.

The two were neighbors, living next door to each other, and had grown up together, knowing each other well. In the village, Yezhiqiu was Tang San's only friend.

The other children were too immature and silly. Not only did Tang San not want to deal with them, but Yezhiqiu did not want to either.

Both being mature and with Yezhiqiu's deliberate approach, they naturally became close friends, and their relationship was quite good.

If it were not for the Xuantian Skill being a secret of the Tang Sect, Tang San would have taught it to Yezhiqiu years ago.

After all, Yezhiqiu had been asking him to teach him martial arts for a long time.

Seeing Tang San's agreement, Yezhiqiu's slightly childish face lit up with a cute smile.

"Then it's settled!"
