Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 1 Lin Yi
Douluo Continent, Shrek City, Chenxi Clothing Store.

At dusk, in a bedroom on the second floor, the desk lamp on the large desk was emitting a warm yellow light. A delicate little boy was bathing in the light, quietly reading a book.

"My dear, you will awaken your martial spirit tomorrow, so you should have a good rest today."

A stunningly beautiful woman in a bright-colored long dress and with a gentle face pushed the door open and looked at the little boy with doting eyes.

"I know, Mom."

The beautiful woman walked to the desk. The little boy had already closed the book, put the bookmark in it and put it back on the bookshelf. He turned around and stretched out his hands to the beautiful woman in a coquettish manner.

The helpless look in her eyes flashed away, leaving only doting. The beautiful woman teased, "You're so big, but you still need your mother to hold you."

"mom!"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you. Come, let mommy hold you."

She reached out and picked up her darling baby, and the boy hugged his mother's neck obediently.

The beautiful woman walked over to the bed, placed the little boy on the bed, pulled the quilt over him, and tucked the corner of the quilt in. "My dear, your martial spirit will be awakened tomorrow. Are you nervous?"

"Of course not."

A calm voice with a slight tremor came from the little boy's mouth. His face was calm, but there was a hint of panic in his eyes and a pair of small hands clenched quietly under the quilt, which proved that no matter how precocious he was, the little boy was still just a child. After all, the little boy was only six years old this year.

No one knows a child better than his mother. The little boy's anxiety was finally discovered by the beautiful woman.

He leaned over and held the quilt and the little boy in his arms, stroking his head with one hand and patting his back with the other, gently rocking his body.

"Our Xiaoyi is so smart, he will definitely succeed. No matter what, mom and dad will always be by your side."

Feeling the warmth in his mother's arms, the little boy's originally nervous mood slowly calmed down.

With his mother's gentle patting, the boy slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

The beautiful woman's name was Ouyang Xi, the little boy's mother and the owner of the Chenxi Clothing Store.

The little boy's name is Lin Yi. It is said that the reason for this name is that Lin Yi's mother, Ouyang Xi, saw a strange vision covering the sky and the sun in her dream the day before giving birth. She believed that her child would have an extraordinary future, so she named the child "Lin Biding".

Even though he already knew his wife's personality, the child's father still nearly sprained his back when he heard the name. He changed his usual doting and tolerance towards his wife and tried his best to stop her, finally saving the child's future fate. In the end, the couple each took a step back and named the child "Lin Yi".

Xiao Lin Yi has indeed shown his extraordinary ability since he was a child. Not only did he learn to speak and write very quickly, but when his peers could only cry and make a fuss, Xiao Lin Yi could already hold a book and read it for a whole day by himself.

That would be fine, but Xiao Lin Yi's most outstanding thing is his comprehension. He can understand the knowledge in the book after reading it once, and can even apply it to other situations. Xiao Lin Yi's father is often troubled by his questions.

In addition, he inherited excellent genes from his parents, with black semi-long hair and a delicate and graceful figure. He has a very good reputation among the neighbors. When people talk about the children of the Chenxi Clothing Store, everyone praises him.

Ouyang Xi always had a smile on his face every day. He would praise his son to everyone he met, saying that he was smart, easy to take care of, and called him a good boy all day long, which made Lin Yi's father very jealous.

But only Xiao Lin Yi himself knows that his intelligence is not innate.

Xiao Lin Yi has a secret, and he seems to be... more than just Lin Yi.

When Xiaolin Yi was two years old, a huge memory from another world appeared in his mind. According to the memory from another world, this situation of his was called awakening the wisdom of the previous life.

The child didn't understand and was afraid of being treated as a monster, so Xiao Lin Yi didn't dare to tell his parents. He could only ask his parents indirectly how to know things he didn't know. His father took the opportunity to stuff a huge stack of books into his pocket. Although he didn't find the answer, he developed a habit of reading.

If you can’t find it, you can’t find it.

After all, it seems like a good thing at the moment.

Be it intelligence or extraordinary understanding, in this world, some things cannot be changed by these means.

Through reading, Xiaolin Yi learned a lot about this world. Unlike the other worlds where only ordinary people were present, this was a world of martial spirits. Everyone was born with a martial spirit, which could be awakened through martial spirit awakening. However, only those with soul power could become the noblest and most powerful people in this world - soul masters.

However, there is an upper limit to the improvement of soul power, which depends on one's own innate soul power, with the highest level being ten. If one only has innate soul power of level one or even less, being able to cultivate to the level of Soul Sect or even Soul Venerable is already the limit.

In addition, there is also knowledge about spirit rings, spirit beasts, spirit bones, spirit guides, etc., but most of them are basic.

After awakening his wisdom from his previous life, Xiao Lin Yi learned about these things and secretly made up his mind that since this world has such extraordinary power and since he has lived in this second life, he, Lin Yi, must embark on the path of a soul master.

However, the awakening of the martial soul seems to really depend on luck, and whether or not one can possess soul power depends quite a lot on one's appearance.

According to the records in the book, generally speaking, the descendants of soul masters are more likely to possess soul power.

But nothing is absolute. There is a special situation in the awakening of martial soul - martial soul mutation.

Xiao Lin Yi once read in a miscellaneous book that Ma Hongjun, one of the original Shrek Seven Devils of Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago, had his martial soul mutated into an evil fire phoenix martial soul, with an innate soul power of level nine, and eventually became a god.

But this is a benign mutation, there are also malignant ones!
Back then, there was a master who studied theory in Shrek Academy. Due to a mutation of his martial soul, his innate soul power was only half level. If it were not for the opportunity given by his disciples, he would not have been able to break through even to the Soul Master level. That master was the leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, one of the top three sects at the time, and the son of a Titled Douluo!
If the descendants of Titled Douluo were like this, what about me, who was just the child of a tailor?

Although, he was a tailor who could open his own clothing store in Shrek City...

The book records that Shrek City is owned by Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent. It is located in the southeast of the Tianhun Empire, at the core of the border area between the three former Douluo Kingdoms. There are many strong people there, but they have a neutral attitude and a transcendent status.

With the golden signboard of Shrek Academy, after thousands of years of development, Shrek City has developed into the economic center of the continent and is known as the number one city in the world. The land in the city is extremely valuable. Lin Yi's parents are definitely successful people because they can own a clothing store in this city.

Xiao Lin Yi knew that his parents were also soul masters, but their levels were not high. If he had to say what was extraordinary about them, it was probably that Xiao Lin Yi's father was a soul master's derivative profession - a soul mentor.

But this still couldn't ease Xiao Linyi's inner tension. The status of soul masters in Douluo Continent was too transcendent, and awakening the martial soul was the most important or even the only way for most people to reach the top.

The next day, the martial soul was finally awakened.

Inside the clothing store, Xiao Lin Yi was nervously thinking about something. Then, with a ding-dong sound, the bell on the door rang and the door was pushed open.

Xiao Lin Yi thought that a guest had arrived, so he crawled out of his mother's arms, turned around and looked up, and saw a handsome man wearing a moon-white robe and a jade-like face coming in. Both in terms of figure and appearance, the man was top-notch, but the sickly paleness on his face told others that the man was not in good health.

Xiao Lin Yi saw a happy smile on the man's face, so he ran over and threw himself into the man's arms.

"father!"

The man was Xiao Lin Yi's father, Lin Qingxuan.

Raising his hand to catch the little guy flying towards him, Lin Qingxuan also had a smile on his face and gently touched his son's head.

"Xiaoyi is at home with mommy, is he behaving well?"

"Brother Xuan, of course my sweet baby is good!"

Ouyang Xi was somewhat dissatisfied when he heard this.

When Lin Qingxuan heard his wife's words, he quickly begged for mercy, "It's my fault, it's my fault, I said the wrong thing."

"Xiaoyi, I got the awakening stone from the City Lord's Mansion. Are you ready to awaken your martial spirit?"

Knowing his wife's personality, Lin Qingxuan quickly changed the subject.

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. The smiles on the faces of the two adults and one child disappeared, and they all looked serious.

Xiao Lin Yi slowly exhaled and nodded heavily.

"Ready dad!"
