Chapter 1

In the Douluo Continent, in the eastern part of the Tian Dou Empire, in a certain province.

A boy, around five or six years old, dressed in white, was practicing sword techniques on a small hill at the back of a large courtyard, swinging an iron sword in his hand.

"Drip..."

Sweat kept flowing from his body, but the boy seemed to feel no fatigue and continued to persist in practicing his sword techniques.

...

"Phew~"

After a whole morning, the boy finally put down the iron sword, walked to a big tree, and sat down, muttering to himself, "It seems that before my soul power awakens, my cultivation is the same as Tang San's. I have already reached my limit and cannot break through anymore!"

After speaking, the boy looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with nostalgia for his homeland...

The boy's name is Mu Chen. He was originally a white-collar worker in the 21st century, but after waking up from a drunken stupor at a party, he found himself in the Douluo Continent.

From initially thinking it was a dream, he gradually accepted reality. A few years ago, he realized that this place was the Douluo Continent from one of the many web novels he had read in his previous life!

After understanding where he was and figuring out the time in this world, Mu Chen started cultivating at the age of three. He had obtained a cultivation manual called "Imperial Decision" during a trip, which contained sword techniques, body techniques, and more! However, in his previous life, Mu Chen had learned it but found it useless. In this world, he clearly felt the strength in his body continuously growing!

This might be what the穿越大军 (穿越者) call the "Golden Finger"!

...

After resting for a while, Mu Chen got up and walked toward his home in this life. Mu Chen's father, Mu Tian, has a soul power of a "Pojun Sword," and is an 89th-level powerful soul master. His mother, Ning Ziyue, has a soul power of the Seven Treasures Pagoda and is a 61st-level soul emperor!

Since this place is in the northern part of the Tian Dou Empire and is somewhat remote, it is considered a small country. Mu Tian once worked for Emperor Xueye, and with his strength, the city was directly granted to Mu Tian, the Earl, to govern this small country.

(The beginning is always the most troublesome. If you like it, read on; if not, you can skip it~!)

"Father, I'm back!"

Mu Tian, who was busy with something, looked over with a loving expression when he heard Mu Chen's call. In his youth, Mu Tian only cared about wandering around, so he only had a son at the age of fifty! He truly doted on him.

Although Mu Tian is already over fifty, he looks no different from someone in their thirties. This might be due to his strength. The same goes for his beautiful wife, who looks like she is in her twenties despite being forty...

"Chen, rest well today. Tomorrow, I will help you awaken your soul power. Later, Uncle Ming will explain the knowledge of soul power to you!"

Mu Chen shook his head directly, "No need, Father, I already know about it."

After a bit of banter between father and son, Mother Ning Ziyue called them for dinner. After eating, Mu Chen returned to his room, feeling both excited and afraid about the soul power awakening the next day!

He was excited because if his soul power awakened, he could start his journey in the Douluo Continent. He was afraid that his soul power might be weak! What if it was a useless soul power or he had no soul power at all...

What Mu Chen didn't know was that since he started cultivating "Imperial Decision," he had already gained soul power! "Imperial Decision" is divided into ten levels... similar to Tang San's Xuantian Skill, but its power is absolutely overwhelming.

(After all, the protagonist can't be worse than others!)

...

The next day.

Mu Tian helped Mu Chen awaken his soul power (the process is omitted).

Looking at the sword in Mu Chen's hand, Mu Tian was stunned because, although it was a weapon soul power, it was clearly different from his Pojun! Moreover, it seemed to be much stronger than his "Pojun."

"Chen, this soul power...!?"

The sword in Mu Chen's hand was indeed a sword, but it was different from his. At least it wasn't the Seven Treasures Pagoda. Although support-type soul masters are not bad, Mu Tian still wanted his son to be a warrior! It just feels wrong for a man to need protection...

Mu Chen looked at the sword in his hand and said, "Demon Sword!"

"......"

"Is it a mutated soul power? Never mind, Chen, let me test your soul power first!"

...

The brightness of the crystal ball almost blinded the father and son. Both were very excited after seeing the light!

"Innate full soul power!"

"Ha ha ha... Son, you have innate full soul power!"

After speaking, Mu Tian happily picked up Mu Chen...

(When a father sees his son's success, he naturally can't help but dote on him!)

After a loving embrace from Mu Tian, he put Mu Chen down and said, "I'll take you to hunt for a soul ring later!"

At this moment, Ning Ziyue said, "I'll go with you too; this is your son's first soul ring after all!"

Seeing the love in Ning Ziyue and Mu Tian's eyes, Mu Chen felt genuinely happy. Although he had left his original world and didn't know how his parents were doing, the love from his parents here was just as strong!

"Okay, then Mother will go with us!"

...

After Mu Tian instructed Mu Ming, a servant he had taken in when he was young, to take care of some matters, the family of three headed toward the nearby soul beast forest.

Inside the XXX Forest.

It took the Mu Chen family three days to reach here. On the first day, they only encountered some soul beasts between one hundred and two hundred years old. Mu Chen said, "Too weak, I don't want it!"

Helpless... the family of three had to set up camp here for the night.

Just as the three were about to rest in their tent, they suddenly came out because Mu Tian felt a soul beast approaching. Ning Ziyue also sensed it, but neither of them released their soul power since the highest level soul beast here was only a thousand years old!

"Swish, swish, swish..."

"..."

As the rustling sound from the bushes grew closer, Mu Tian flashed away from his original position. With a "Bang!" a purple electric leopard was kicked out.

"This is a Netherworld Leopard!?"

Ning Ziyue exclaimed when she saw the soul beast. This kind of soul beast is very rare, and it appeared in such a small place!

Looking at the Netherworld Leopard, Ning Ziyue sighed, "What a pity, if it were a second soul ring, it would be perfect..."

Mu Chen looked at the purple leopard, which was about eight hundred years old. Normally, it would exceed the limit for a first soul ring. However, Mu Chen, who had cultivated "Imperial Decision," felt he could absorb it completely!

(As for how Mu Chen knows the age of the soul beast, it's because being a穿越者 comes with built-in knowledge!)

"Mother, I've decided, my first soul ring will be this one!"
