I collect fragments in Douluo Continent

Chapter 3: A Soul Master Without a Martial Soul?

"One hundred and ninety-eight, one hundred and ninety-nine taels. one hundred."

Early in the morning, in the courtyard, Lu Feng was doing push-ups with great enthusiasm.

As the last number fell, he struggled to sit up and gasped for fresh air.

For the past month, Lu Feng has not gone hunting. Besides practicing the "Mysterious Heaven Technique," he spends his days training his body.

During this time, he roughly figured out the patterns of cultivation.

I can cultivate my soul power twice a day, each round lasting one hour. However, I cannot cultivate continuously; I must stop to eat and recover my spiritual energy in between.

Lu Feng also tried staying up all night to cultivate.

The next day, he turned pale and felt weak all over, as if a demon had drained his life force.

Cultivation is like reading and studying; it's not only a mental activity but also very physically demanding.

Therefore, Lu Feng attaches great importance to physical fitness training.

In the original novel, Tang San spent a long time as an apprentice in a blacksmith shop while at Notting Academy, perhaps for a similar purpose.

Born into a hunter's family, Lu Feng always had a good diet from a young age. Although he didn't eat meat at every meal, it was much better than Tang San's diet, which consisted of thin porridge all day long.

Lu Feng was shirtless at the moment. He wasn't exactly strong, but he looked full of energy.

He walked to the water vat and casually washed his face with some water. Looking at his blurry reflection in the vat, Lu Feng couldn't help but purse his lips.

"Pah, so what if you're handsome?"

"Knock knock knock." A knocking sound rang out on the door.

"Lu Feng, are you home? Today is the big day for your martial soul awakening."

Old Jack's voice came from outside the courtyard.

Lu Feng opened the door and saw Old Jack holding Tang San's hand, standing outside waiting.

Old Jack was an elderly man with gray hair and a slightly hunched posture. The awakening of his martial spirit was a big day for the village, so Old Jack specially changed into a new set of clothes.

"Village Chief, Tang San, good morning." Lu Feng greeted the two with a smile.

He had actually packed his things early on, and although his hair was still a little messy, his bright eyes already revealed a hint of anticipation.

Martial Soul Awakening!

This is the first time I've been reborn twice!

"Look at you, you little brat, you don't know how to groom yourself at all. What kind of man keeps his hair long?" Old Jack said with concern, looking at Lu Feng's 'sloppy' appearance.

He genuinely liked Lu Feng.

He lost his parents at a young age, and the old hunter also passed away early; he was a pitiful person.

Originally, old Jack wanted to adopt Lu Feng, but his daughter-in-law was not very willing.

The village chief didn't have any surplus grain either.

Unexpectedly, Lu Feng not only lived a good life on his own, but also had the energy to help other villagers. What a good kid!

"Village chief, you don't understand." Lu Feng looked at Old Jack's kind smile and pretended to be an innocent child.

"Strength is temporary, but handsomeness lasts a lifetime!"

As he spoke, Lu Feng struck a cool pose.

"Hahaha."

Seeing Lu Feng's lively appearance, Old Jack also laughed out loud happily.

Holy Soul Village, Martial Soul Hall.

Of course, this so-called Spirit Hall was just a larger wooden house.

This year, a total of nine children in Holy Soul Village underwent Martial Soul Awakening, with Lu Feng and Tang San being the last batch to enter.

"Alright, parents, you can all leave now."

Once the children were all present, the young man in the middle of the room began to usher them out.

After closing the door, the young man said loudly, "My name is Su Yuntao, a level 26 Great Soul Master, and I am your guide."

As he spoke, Su Yuntao took out six jet-black round stones and a shiny blue crystal ball from his package.

He arranged the six black stones in a hexagon on the ground and then gestured for the first child on the right to stand in it.

Lu Feng looked at this "Director of the God Realm Admissions Office" with curiosity.

The number of gods who have awakened under his guidance must be at least eight hundred, if not a thousand!

I wonder if I will receive Brother Tao's "blessing"?

"Lone Wolf, possess me!"

A voice pulled Lu Feng back to reality.

Su Yuntao's muscles swelled, and his hair rapidly turned gray and grew longer. Sharp fangs and green eyes appeared, and he transformed into a werewolf.

"Ah~!" The children screamed in fright.

The little boy in the awakening array was closest to it and was so frightened that he tried to turn around and run away.

Su Yuntao was already used to this kind of scene. He patiently explained for a while and finally calmed the children down.

"Huh, aren't these two kids scared? Especially the tall one." Su Yuntao glanced at Lu Feng curiously.

The Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony continues.

Sickle, hoe, pitchfork.

The martial spirits awakened by the children are mostly ordinary farm tools, and they have no innate soul power.

Su Yuntao had already anticipated this, as he had already passed through six villages before and had not found a single child with soul power.

It's incredibly difficult for an ordinary person to become a Soul Master.

All the way up to Tang San.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Innate full soul power!" Su Yuntao exclaimed, looking at the dazzling blue light in the room.

After the initial shock, Su Yuntao quickly regained his senses and looked at Tang San with a complex expression.

A genius born with innate full soul power, a rare find in a century, yet his martial soul was merely Blue Silver Grass. Su Yuntao was momentarily at a loss, unsure whether to comfort Tang San or congratulate him.

Never mind, whether one has innate full soul power or a useless martial soul, it's all a matter of personal destiny.

Anyway, since the child has awakened innate soul power, my reward is already in my hands.

Should I treat Sisi to a meal? Or buy her flowers?

"Next," Su Yuntao said wearily.

Lu Feng walked to the center of the awakening array, feeling a little nervous. After all, he had never awakened this thing in his previous life, so he had no experience.

Su Yuntao's soul power surged and guided the formation, and gradually, a golden light spread out.

Lu Feng felt a warm energy surge into his body, and his soul power was also mobilized. It was like soaking in a hot spring; his body slowly warmed up, and his complexion gradually became rosy.

"Huh? It still can't awaken."

Su Yuntao continued to increase the transmission of soul power. He had a premonition that this child might awaken some kind of powerful martial soul.

Ten seconds

Half a minute.

Three minutes.

"Phew~"

Su Yuntao slumped to the ground, panting heavily.

"My own soul power is already exhausted, how come this child hasn't awakened his martial soul yet?" Su Yuntao stared at Lu Feng in front of him as if he were looking at a monster.

"Don't you have a martial spirit?" Su Yuntao asked breathlessly.

"Master Esu, are you alright? Why don't you eat something first?" Lu Feng took out a piece of dried meat from his pocket and handed it to Su Yuntao.

Lu Feng was also completely bewildered by the situation before him.

Neither the original work nor the fan fiction mentions that there are people who cannot awaken their martial soul.

Transmigrating to Douluo Continent without a Martial Soul?

Why not just travel directly into "Miracle Nikki"!

Since I can't cultivate a martial spirit, all that's left is to chase girls.

After finishing his dried meat, Su Yuntao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "I've thought of a possibility, but I need to verify it."

He placed the blue crystal ball in front of Lu Feng, "Come on, put your hand on it and let's test your innate soul power."

"Huh? I haven't awakened my martial soul yet?" Lu Feng asked in confusion.

Su Yuntao explained with a smile, "There are countless martial spirits on the continent, but they can generally be divided into two categories: weapon martial spirits and beast martial spirits. My Lone Wolf belongs to the beast martial spirit category; the hoe, sickle, and even the Blue Silver Grass all belong to the weapon martial spirit category."

"However, there is another very rare type of martial soul, which is a human organ. For example: arms, legs, eyes, etc."

At this point, Su Yuntao's lips curled into a slight smile, and he said confidently, "I suspect that your martial soul must be the legendary original martial soul."

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng looked at Su Yuntao with a hint of surprise.

"I didn't expect Brother Tao to be so capable. Huo Qubing from the second part of Douluo Continent is a true martial soul, isn't he?"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng gave Su Yuntao an approving look.

"Master Su truly lives up to his reputation."

However, just as Lu Feng was about to praise Su Yuntao, several balls of light suddenly fell out of the awakening array.
