Douluo Continent: Tang San has already taken off, and I'm only just arriving.

Chapter 1 Grandfather Salas

Good news! Chen Yichuan has been reborn in Douluo Continent.

Bad news, I'm too late to be reborn.

Before he even awakened his martial soul, Tang San had already plundered all the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Even worse news: his maternal grandfather was Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Martial Soul Temple in Heaven Dou City.

He's the background character in the anime who's extremely lecherous and gets angrily rebuked by Yu Xiaogang: "Salas, you're unworthy to be the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Temple!"

Having been reborn into this world and living a real life here, Chen Yichuan, after experiencing Salas firsthand, had to say: "He's truly ruthless!"

Admittedly, my grandfather Salas was not a good person.

As someone in a high position, he has many shady dealings going on, but to say that an 87th-level Soul Douluo openly flirted with a maid without any regard for the dignity of the Spirit Hall is pure nonsense.

With his status, in this feudal era, he could have any woman he wanted.

Moreover, Chen Yichuan knew perfectly well that his maternal grandfather was obsessed with power and wealth, wanting to climb higher and become an elder or a titled Douluo.

He was also an extremist poisoned by the Spirit Hall's beliefs, and he would stop at nothing to achieve the Spirit Hall's glory.

Chen Yichuan couldn't judge right or wrong; he only knew that Salas was his maternal grandfather, his only relative and support in this world.

After being reborn into this world, he was labeled as a member of the Spirit Hall.

After the Battle of Jialing Pass, they were to be purged.

During this process, he did consider making changes. He wrote letters to report Tang Hao and his son, and sent people to reveal the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall. Whether it was the power of the world's correction line or divine intervention, he missed all the opportunities.

According to my grandfather, after learning about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the Spirit Hall sent two Title Douluos, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, to Sunset Forest, but they found nothing. Moreover, during that time, Dugu Bo also disappeared without a trace.

In addition, his grandfather Salas had many enemies who protected him, preventing him from having much contact with the outside world.

The reason why Tang San was certain that he had obtained the immortal herb was because he learned from his grandfather's subordinates that Blue Tyrant Academy had been renamed Shrek Academy half a month ago.

"Sorry!"

Chen Yichuan lay on the bed, looking out at the blue sky and white clouds.

This kind of disastrous start is really going to be difficult to handle unless I have a cheat code or activate a system when I awaken my martial soul tomorrow!

As he pondered these thoughts, Chen Yichuan drifted off to sleep.

In his dream, he awakened the Three Lives Martial Soul, possessed innate soul power of level ninety, had a million-year-old soul beast sacrifice itself, and received the inheritance of two great god-kings...

"Xiao Chuan, wake up!"

A soft female voice shattered Chen Yichuan's dream, bringing him back to reality.

He had no choice but to get up, wash, dress, and wait for his martial spirit to awaken.

"Sister Weiwei, what kind of martial soul do you think I will awaken?"

Chen Yichuan looked at the woman in front of him who was telling him to get up.

She had a graceful figure, fair skin, and delicate features. Dressed in a white robe, her brows exuded a heroic air.

Vivian, 27 years old, Martial Soul: Flash Falcon, Level 48 Agility-Attack Soul Master.

A descendant of the Angel Legion, whose parents died at the hands of a fallen soul master, her maternal grandfather, who had a past relationship with her parents, took her in and cared for her, accepting her as his disciple.

At this age and with this level of skill, he is already considered a remarkable genius.

"Your mother's martial soul inherited the life attribute of your teacher's martial soul, while your father's martial soul is a mutated thunder vine. In terms of martial soul quality, the two are about the same. Perhaps Xiao Chuan will awaken twin martial souls."

Vivian looked at the little guy she had raised with tender eyes. She was also very curious about what kind of martial soul he would awaken and how far he would go in the future.
"I hope so!"

Chen Yichuan appeared nonchalant, but he was actually quite nervous.

His parents' martial souls could only be considered high-level, not top-tier, and both possessed some mutated characteristics. Under such circumstances, even if his martial soul underwent a benign mutation, it would be difficult for him to possess innate full soul power. After arriving in this world, because he was protected by his maternal grandfather, he spent most of his time reading and researching martial souls at the Martial Soul Temple, apart from basic stretching and simple exercises every day.

The more one understands this world, the clearer one becomes of the extraordinary nature of innate full soul power.

Not only must the quality of the martial soul be top-notch, but it must also be perfectly complete.

In the original work, every character with innate full soul power is a bug in the system.

Feng Xiaotian's martial soul is a mutated two-headed Gale Wolf, possessing the characteristics of strong attack, agility, and control.

Oscar, whose spirit is sausage, possesses a variety of spirit skills, whether it's percentage-based amplification, flight, copying, or directly restoring all spirit power... which one isn't overpowered?

A thousand feet of snow, Bibi Dong, needless to say.

As for Tang San and Xiao Wu, one is a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, and the other has innate full soul power that is still under investigation; they are not within the scope of normal research.

If a mutated martial soul were to awaken, things would really get tough.

It's good if it mutates to perfection.

If the mutation is imperfect, like Ma Hongjun's, it will be full of flaws.

In the original novel, Shui Bing'er's mutated martial soul also had its drawbacks.

Otherwise, would someone with a top-tier martial soul, the Ice Phoenix, really think that all the teachers at Tianshui Academy are idiots if they chose the control type instead of the offensive type?

With a long sigh, Chen Yichuan suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and quietly waited for his grandfather to arrive so that he could awaken his martial spirit.

Awakening a martial soul is something any great soul master can do, but my grandfather told him a month ago that he must do it himself.

"Xiao Chuan, are you getting impatient?"

A gentle voice rang out, and Salas, who appeared arrogant and dignified to outsiders, walked over with a doting smile on his face.

"Grandpa!"

A smile appeared on Chen Yichuan's adorable face, and he stepped forward to greet Salas.

"Come, Grandpa will awaken your martial soul!"

Salas gently rubbed Chen Yichuan's head and began to arrange the hexagonal star array.

He loved his grandson from the bottom of his heart. His daughter had rebelled and married that scoundrel who stole her husband's wife against his wishes. She left home in a huff. When he heard the news again, it was because they had unexpectedly perished in a beast tide, leaving behind only their two-year-old child.

He still can't forget how coldly the little guy looked at him when he arrived.

If it weren't for his meticulous care over the years, this grandson would never have become close to him.

This is why, no matter how busy he is, he always makes time to personally awaken his martial spirit.

Chen Yichuan looked at the six-pointed star array on the ground. He had studied this thing more than once. If it were in the second era of Dou Di Zhuan, ten thousand years later, he would definitely create a charged, autonomous awakening spirit guide device to change the situation where ordinary people had difficulty awakening their spirits.

Just as Chen Yichuan was lost in thought, a surge of soul power entered his body, guiding his martial soul to awaken.

In that instant, Chen Yichuan clearly sensed that a certain shackle within his body had been broken.

Then, the Martial Soul appeared.

A phantom image of a vine entwined with lightning appeared.

"Is this a mutated martial soul, Thunder Vine?"

Salas looked at Chen Yichuan's martial spirit with some confusion.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the clear blue sky outside the Martial Soul Temple, heading straight for Chen Yichuan.
