Chapter 1: Three years after three years, my cheat code has finally arrived.
In Douluo Continent, the annual Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony is a watershed moment in the fate of every six-year-old child.
Today, long lines formed at Hongshan College, with countless parents holding their children's hands, their eyes filled with anticipation and trepidation.
At the very front of the line stood a slender young man—Yu Chen.
"I'm next... What kind of martial soul will I awaken?"
He muttered to himself, his gaze sweeping over the slowly moving crowd ahead, his heart pounding faster than usual. On the surface, he was just an ordinary child, but only he knew—within this body lay a soul from Earth.
He has been in this world for six years, and it wasn't until today, at the age of six, that he awakened his memories of his past life.
I vaguely remember that before I transmigrated in my previous life, Yu Chen was on the fifth floor of his house, watching Douluo Continent and playing with Dragon Cards.
But just as Yu Chen heard the words "You have already chosen your own death," Da Yun suddenly burst through the door and took Yu Chen away. Even in death, Yu Chen did not understand how Da Yun had gotten to him when he was on the fifth floor.
"Next, Yu Chen." Just as Yu Chen was still thinking, a staff member holding a booklet called out.
This booklet was compiled by the staff just now to prevent people from disrupting the order.
A gentle yet clear voice came from the awakening room, interrupting his recollection.
"Coming!" Yu Chen responded, took a deep breath, and stepped through the door that had determined the fate of countless people.
Inside the door, the atmosphere was completely different from the hustle and bustle outside.
The ground, walls, and dome are all engraved with mysterious and complex patterns, like flowing stars and swimming dragons and snakes.
"This... is a formation?" Yu Chen, who had suffered from the poison of cultivating immortality, immediately had this thought.
"Child, these are soul-guiding arrays." Standing in the center was a middle-aged man, a spirit master from the Spirit Pagoda. His gaze was kind, and his tone was gentle, showing great patience.
"Don't be nervous, come over and stand in the center, get ready to awaken."
Yu Chen strode forward, inwardly marveling: This spirit medium's attitude was so gentle; he must not have had his temper worn down by the long line behind him. If it were afternoon, he would probably have been yelling and urging him on.
"I'm sorry, Uncle, I was so engrossed in what I was watching," he said apologetically.
"It's alright." The spirit medium smiled. "Calm your mind and close your eyes."
As he finished speaking, a soft white light appeared in his palm, like moonlight pouring down. Then, the runes on the ground lit up one by one, and spiritual energy spread out like snakes, gently lifting Yu Chen up.
A warm current surged from the soles of his feet, coursing through his limbs and bones, as if spring water were melting frozen earth. Yu Chen felt his consciousness clear, as if his soul had been awakened by some ancient power.
A moment later, the light faded.
Yu Chen opened his eyes.
His eyes had changed from their original darkness to a light gold, with a faint light flowing in their depths, like the first rays of dawn.
"Martial Soul, eyes, it's actually the main body's martial soul? Not bad, innate soul power..."
The spirit master, seeing the change in Yu Chen's eyes, had already determined his martial soul, but was stunned when he saw the result of Yu Chen's innate soul power.
Just as he was about to continue praising, the soul-testing crystal in his hand suddenly dimmed, and the value froze at level one.
"Innate soul power... Level 1?" The spirit master's voice faltered, a hint of regret flashing across his face. "Although the original martial soul is good, the soul power is too low, making the path of cultivation extremely difficult."
Upon hearing this, Yu Chen's body stiffened slightly.
Level 1 innate?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant—he failed the college entrance examination in his previous life, and in this life, even his starting point is so humble.
But in an instant, he exhaled a breath of stale air, a bitter smile playing on his lips as he comforted himself: "One level is fine. Being able to live again is already a bonus. At least I don't have to write that damned 800-word essay anymore."
Having just experienced the grueling college entrance exam, his resilience is already at its peak. He may feel disappointed, but he won't succumb to despair.
"Child, don't be discouraged." The Spirit Master noticed his emotions and said gently, "Have you heard of Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago? He was also at the first level of the Innate Realm, but he eventually became the Limit Douluo, renowned throughout history. Low soul power doesn't mean you can't go far."
"Thank you, Uncle." Yu Chen nodded, took the awakening certificate, and turned to leave the room.
Yu Chen certainly knew about Huo Yuhao, or rather, Dai Yuhao.
Although Huo Yuhao's soul power was also at the first level of innate soul power at that time, such a person is only good for deceiving and motivating oneself. One should not regard oneself as such a person, otherwise the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Since I have no talent, I might as well stay in Aolai City from now on. Anyway, there weren't any major natural disasters or man-made calamities in the original story, and there weren't many evil spirit masters around.
Apart from Tang Wulin's adoptive parents being kidnapped, nothing major should have happened here. He should be able to live out his old age in peace... right?
Ah well! If I'm really unlucky enough to die, then so be it. At least I've seen some different scenery.
He sighed, didn't think about it anymore, took the certificate issued by the spirit medium, and went out.
Inside Hongshan Academy, Yu Chen looked at the long line in front of him and felt somewhat fortunate. The place was already incredibly crowded, with parents bringing their children to participate in the awakening ceremony.
"Dad, what do you think my martial soul will be?"
"Haha, Wu Lin, even if you don't have soul power, you are still your parents' precious child."
Not far away, a little boy who had just turned six watched his father with a look of excitement.
"Wu Lin?" Upon hearing this voice, they saw a little boy who could be described as "beautiful".
"This is Tang Wulin? Tsk, why do I have a feeling he'll grow up to be a effeminate man?"
Upon seeing the protagonist of this world, Yu Chen had no intention of clinging to his coattails. Although he had the best impression of Tang Wulin among the Douluo series, his own soul power was too weak. The protagonist was often surrounded by both crises and opportunities. As someone with bad luck, Yu Chen was very self-aware. He wouldn't survive if he stayed by Tang Wulin's side. When opportunities came his way, Yu Chen kept his distance from the so-called protagonist.
The man standing with Tang Wulin in the distance looked in the direction Yu Chen had left, seemingly wanting to say something but ultimately just sighing.
Go home.
"I'm back."
With a muttered word to himself, Yu Chen slowly shook his head. He really wasn't used to it!
"Is a martial soul an eye? Hmph, I wonder if I have any so-called transmigrator cheat codes."
"However, the most important thing right now is to fill our stomachs."
As Yu Chen pondered, he took out some ingredients to prepare a meal. As he passed by the mirror, he couldn't help but take a look at his martial spirit.
Without hesitation, Yu Chen went to the mirror and activated his Martial Soul. His eyes glowed with a faint light, appearing ordinary and without any imposing presence.
"Nothing special, um... if I had to say, it's like I was wearing colored contact lenses. Oh well."
Just as Yu Chen withdrew his martial soul, suddenly! The pupil in the mirror abruptly contracted, transforming into a vertical golden pupil!
Flames seemed to burn in his eyes, cold and eerie, like a gaze from the depths of an ancient abyss.
"This...this is...the Golden Eyes!" Yu Chen stood up abruptly, his heart pounding like a drum.
He recognized that these eyes did not belong to the Douluo Continent, but were a symbol of supreme bloodline from another work!
"Dragons...the mark of hybrids! My cheat code has finally arrived!"
