Chapter 1 : Starting
Heavy rain pouring out from the sky, Thunder sounding endlessly one against another.
Under this heavy rain, there's a crying sound of a baby inside a rattan basket. The rattan basket was left outside of a little wooden house in the middle of a village.
Hearing the sound of a crying baby an old man inside the house finally came out only to find a rattan basket with a baby in front of his house.
The old man directly picks up the baby and tries to soothe the crying baby "Oh come here you poor child there's no need to cry."
While trying to calm the crying baby the old man finally looks inside the rattan basket and finds a piece of paper with the writing 'Lin Tian'.
"so your name is Lin Tian, don't worry kid this grandpa jack will take care of you from now on." Seeing this paper the old man directly concludes that this baby was probably abandoned and left in this village by its parent.
Hearing this the baby finally stops crying and takes a look at the old man, if sensitive people were able to see the baby they will find a hint of intelligence beyond a normal baby and curiosity from its eyes.
While smiling grandpa jack finally brings Lin Tian with his Rattan basket inside the house.

6 Years Later
Douluo Continent, Holy Spirit Village.
Holy Soul Village, one simple and humble village located near a mountain without any specialty just like several other villages near it. The name Holy Spirit Village according to the villager's stories came from a Spirit Saint Spirit master that was born here hundred years ago giving it this name, it is one of the eternal pride for the villagers living here.
The sun is rising and starts shining through the whole village.
A five or six-year-old skinny boy ran out of the village and he is running towards the mountain next to the village.
The child's skin is healthy and whitish, the shoulder-length black hair is very neat, the eyes are bright, and the clothes are simple but clean.
As soon as he ran to the foot of the mountain, he saw another boy around his age already there and seems to be waiting for him.
"Xiao San, you have to fight me if you want to pass!" The boy that was waiting at the foot of the mountain pointed at Tang San with his finger and challenged him to a fight.
"Brother Tian, why do you have to do this every day since we're three years old?" Tang San said while shaking his head helplessly.
Brother Tian, whose full name is Lin Tian, is only a few days older than Tang San. The village chief Jack picked him from outside of his house six years ago on a rainy night. When he was three years old, Lin Tian already beat all the children in the village except for Tang San. Since then he starts to challenge Tang San every day even though he always keeps losing.
"No need for so much talk, Tang San you have to defeat me, or else I won't let you pass." Lin Tian said.
"All right then." Tang San nodded and immediately became serious. Although Lin Tian has been challenging him every day and always lose every time, Tang San did not dare to underestimate Lin Tian. Being able to beat every single child in the village is proof of Lin Tian's abnormal strength.
Lin Tian directly rushed out without waiting for Tang San to prepare himself, he directly aims hit Tang San's chest with a punch.
Seeing Lin Tian rushing forward, Tang San didn't dodge and instead stepped forward to meet Lin Tian, while in front of Lin Tian, using his left hand Tang San directly parry Lin Tian's punching right hand to the side.
Lin Tian felt that his right hand was pulled by some kind of force and changed his punch's direction and he can't stop it. After fighting Tang San so many times, he naturally knew that this was Tang Sect's unique skill in controlling cranes and dragons.
At the same time, Tang San use his right-hand palm to hit Lin Tian's shoulder, it was one of the Tang Sect's close combat basic moves.
Lin Tian's shoulders were numb by the hit and he has to step back a few steps before stopping the pushing force, shocked by Tang San's strength, even a normal adult strength was far behind compared to Tang San's attack.
However, Tang San's heart was also a bit shocked by this. He knew how powerful his move was using a little internal energy. He knew very well that if it were an ordinary person, even if the bones were not broken, it would still be red and swollen for at least a few days but Lin Tian only got pushed back and did not seem to have any extra bump or swollen at all.
"Come again!"
Lin Tian said and rushed out again.
He knew that with his fighting skills he would not be able to defeat Tang San, so he simply adopted a brute style of play, relying on his strong physical body to exchange injuries for injuries.
While Tang San hit him ten punches, he only able to hit Tang San one punch.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Tian lay on the ground feebly, with a few bruises on his face. Although Tang San also received a few punches from him, Tang San had the internal energy protection of Xuan Tian Gong and not even scratches or bruises shows up.
"Brother Lin Tian, I'm leaving first." Tang San said, bypassing Lin Tian and heading up the mountain to train his purple eyes with the rising sun.
Although he lost to Tang San, Lin Tian didn't show any frustration on his face but was very excited.
After a short rest, Lin Tian sit up with difficulty and started to breathe rhythmically slowly.
As he takes a deep breath his body start to intake a kind of energy, with each breath this energy starts to circulate around his muscles, blood, and vein.
Lin Tian doesn't know exactly this energy but every time he has been through a battle or intense exercise he can feel this energy and able absorb it, the energy melted into his body and he feels a warm current rushed through his whole body. He felt that his body was getting stronger, and the bruises on wounds became lighter.
After a while, Lin Tian started to stand up and stretch his body and test his new power. Punching a nearby tree causes a shallow dent on the trunk and then he tried to run a bit with his fastest speed.
"Hmm, with my current power should be enough to fight head-on against a peak one ringed power-type soul master, while my speed should be close to a normal 2 ringed Spirit Grandmaster but still below a speed type Spirit Grandmaster"
It has been three years since he started to train by fighting Tang san, and he also has a certain understanding of his condition after reincarnation.
First of all, his body can get stronger after being beaten or intense exercise, which is why he would rather be injured and not dodging while fighting Tang San.
Secondly, he feels that his spiritual power and senses are higher than normal people. If normal children have his power and speed they might get beaten without even touching Tang san clothes at all because of the Tang sect's skills, while he could still trade blows with Tang san because of his senses even though it's a trade of 1 hit every 10 hits of Tang san.
Finally, still related to his spiritual power and souls, his learning, analysis, and memory capacity is far beyond normal people. Normal reincarnator might forget almost everything from his previous life after a few years of living here because of forgetting their memories, while Lin Tian still could remember 70-80% of information and skills from his previous life. There's a high probability this is an effect of his soul after reincarnation or maybe his unawakened spirit soul is a spiritual type.
"well, I guess it is already good enough."
Lin Tian shook his head, and he could say that his luck was already pretty good. Although he doesn't have a system like other reincarnator MC, he still has a lot of advantages compared to normal people. Also, he has high hope of having Spirit power in his awakening because his current condition could be a sign that his Martial spirit is powerful or has a unique effect.
Lin Tian was ready to return to the village after patting the dust on his body.
Village Chief Jack picked him up when he was a baby, but since the age of three, Lin Tian moved out of Village Chief Jack's house, The villagers also helped him build thatched huts for him to live in. At the beginning of each month, Village Chief Jack would give him a bag of grain, which was collected by the other villagers for him.
Although life was very difficult, Lin Tian did not complain at all. He is already very thankful the villager is willing to share what little they with him.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Lin Tian saw the Village Chief Jack walking around in the village with a cane.
This is the habit of the village chief Jack. Every morning when he gets up, he has to go around the village to understand the situation in the village. He can be said to be a very responsible village chief.
