Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 1 Crossing

"Holy crap! Is everyone in Douluo Continent intellectually challenged?! Could Tang San really have created all those martial arts techniques and hidden weapons? How come nobody questions it?!"

"Besides, your Douluo Continent has existed for at least several thousand years, so why can't you create a cultivation method that's no less powerful than the Mysterious Heaven Technique?!"

"And then there are Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and Bibi Dong—three love-struck fools. Their IQs practically drop to negative in front of Tang San, allowing him to squander the Spirit Hall's excellent situation. They had such a winning hand, yet they had to rely on four second-generation leaders and two kings—how reckless!"

……

The Magic City!

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and silvery-white lightning bolts crisscrossed the sky. The rumbling thunder was incessant, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"boom!"

A massive bolt of lightning struck, its dazzling light illuminating the entire sky. A deafening clap of thunder followed, and large raindrops poured down, instantly soaking the entire city.

In an apartment on the outskirts of the city, a young man was slumped over his computer desk, convulsing. He was already lifeless. The computer screen, which had been black, suddenly lit up and started playing Douluo Continent.

The young man's name is Li Fei, he is 27 years old this year. After graduating, he worked full-time as a content creator on YouTube, but he has never become popular. Recently, the anime update of Douluo Continent exposed Tang San's character issues, and many content creators have been complaining about this, which has become a hot topic.

Li Fei also planned to take advantage of this popularity to gain more followers, but he didn't expect that just after he finished editing the video, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck him, killing him instantly.

Perhaps it was divine mercy that allowed Li Fei to have a complete corpse, instead of being reduced to ashes under the terrifying electric heat.

……

In the Douluo Continent, near the Star Dou Great Forest, west of the Barak Kingdom, lies Ze'an City.

Ze'an City, located near the Star Dou Great Forest, is a necessary stop for Soul Masters entering the forest, and its economic level ranks among the top in the entire Barak Kingdom. The city's residents primarily make a living through catering and lodging, and their clientele is mainly Soul Masters.

The abundance of catering and accommodation has also boosted the surrounding livestock and agricultural industries, making the surrounding villages much wealthier than other areas of the Barak Kingdom. The Li family is the largest livestock farmer in the entire Zean City.

As the sun set, the afterglow of the sunset darkened the sky, but the Li family mansion was brightly lit. The patriarch, Li Ming, paced back and forth in front of the door. His weight of nearly 300 pounds and height of 1.9 meters made him look like a small mountain. From inside the door, the cries of pain from a woman echoed continuously.

"Wow! Wow!..."

"It's born! It's born! This is wonderful! I, Li Ming, have a child now!"

As the baby cried out, Li Ming clenched his fists and shouted excitedly. His massive body strode toward the room, but he was stopped outside by a hand.

"Li Ming, you're so old, why are you still so reckless?!"

"Aunt Yang, is Xin'er alright?! And, was it a boy or a girl?!" Li Ming, who was stopped outside, was not to be outdone. He looked at the old woman in front of him with a fawning expression and asked awkwardly.

"Xin'er is fine. She's a Great Soul Master herself, and with my soul skills, both mother and child are safe. She's just a little weak after giving birth, and the baby is sleeping next to her!" Aunt Yang rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"Great!" Li Ming clenched his right fist in a victory gesture, then looked at Yang Ma with a fawning expression. "Can I go in now?!"

"Okay, but please keep it down. Xin'er and her baby need rest right now!"

After saying that, Yang Ma stepped aside to let Li Ming in.

Inside the room, Li Ming immediately saw Jiang Xin lying on the bed, looking weak but with happiness in her eyes, gazing intently at the chubby baby lying next to her.

"Xin'er, are you alright?!" Li Ming stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Xin's hand, looking worried.

"It's alright, Ming-ge!" Jiang Xin shook her head and placed her hand on the boy's face beside her. "Come and see our child! I've already thought of a name for him: Li Fei. It means this child will definitely achieve extraordinary things! Ming-ge, what do you think?!"

"Li Fei, what a great name!"

"So, Ming-ge, you agree?"

"Yes! Because Xin'er obtained it!"

"Hate!"

……

Six years later, in a small manor in Zean City, the manor was not large, covering a total area of ​​less than 500 square meters, of which 300 square meters were courtyards with artificial hills and a small lake, but the real space in the courtyard was a nearly 100-square-meter earthen training ground.

The training ground is equipped with a large number of training equipment, including dumbbells, weights, iron bars, and many weapons.

At this moment, a little boy who looked to be about eight years old was doing frog jumps on the training field, holding a heavy-looking iron rod in his hand. The boy was Li Fei.

"...98, 99, 100!"

Li Fei let out a sigh of relief, threw the iron rod aside, and, enduring the soreness in his muscles, walked towards the edge of the training field. He picked up the tea that had been prepared in advance on the table and gulped it down.

"If it weren't for this tea, which is similar to an energy drink from my past life, relieving my fatigue and muscle soreness, I might not have achieved the training results I have now!"

Li Fei put the drink back on the table, checked his physical condition, picked up the iron rod on it, and continued doing frog jumps. If a child in his previous life had trained like this, their body would have become deformed long ago. But in this world, with the existence of Soul Masters, this situation would not occur.

The tea that Li Fei drank was not cheap at all. A pound of tea cost three gold soul coins. It came from a plant-type soul beast called Garan Tea, which was a rare item for low-level soul masters to forge. Ordinary families simply could not afford it.

It was only because the Li family, the richest family in Ze'an City, could allow Li Fei to train without restraint. He was very fortunate about this. If it were a family like Tang San's, Li Fei would not be allowed to undergo such high-intensity training.

Although I don't know if this kind of training can enhance my innate aptitude, it should at least increase the time required to obtain my first spirit ring!

After completing another set of frog jumps, Li Fei did not train again. Instead, he lay down on the lawn next to him, looked up at the sky, admired the scenery, and began to recall his past life.

"I've been living in this world for six years without even realizing it. In a week, it will be the day of my martial soul awakening. Should I choose my dad's orange cat or my mom's Mo Ye Que?! I'd prefer my dad's orange cat, since cat martial souls have some potential for development."

"Speaking of which, hasn't Dad gained weight again lately? He must weigh at least 400 pounds now! Is it the effect of the orange cat martial spirit, or is it that particularly fat one?!"

Thinking about how he would awaken the orange cat martial soul in the future and become extremely fat like his father, Li Fei couldn't help but shudder and shook his head violently a few times.
