1 Chapter 1: Death and Awakening

Douluo Continent, south-west of the Heaven Dou Empire, in a small mountain village.

The ground violently trembled. The villagers saw the dilapidated temple on the top of the mountain. There was a man with golden armour. He flew up brandishing the golden giant sword in his hand and severely sliced it down towards the ground.

"Is that a Title Douluo, nine spirit rings!" In this world, even the villagers who don't know how to write know what this shining circle means, it is the noblest profession out there; Spirit Master.

Just when they were about to bow down to this terrifying existence, a man suddenly jumped into the sky and wielded a terrifying sledgehammer in his hand. He also had nine spirit rings, two yellow, two purple, four black and one red, especially the last one was red. The red is different from others, with a terrifying power that trembles people's hearts.

"Isn't this the young man whose wife gave birth in our village? I thought they left here 3 days ago. He turned out to be a Titled Douluo, my God!" The villagers quickly recognized this extraordinary man.

Boom! ~~

The black giant hammer smashed the golden sword, and the ground shook again. Inside the crater was the Titled Douluo with the sword. A group of people escorted him inside the village. The injured douluo glanced at the villagers.

"You provided Tang Hao with food and water and helped them deliver the baby?" said the injured Douluo.

"Great Title Douluo, we just did this out of good intentions..." The village head bowed down, wanting to explain.

"The people who helped Tang Hao are enemies of my Spirit Hall! Killed them all!" his eyes were stunned. If not for these villagers he might have killed both Tang Hao and the spirit beast.

The spirit beasts and spirit bones all belong to their spirit hall!

Cries for help and cruel laughter echoed throughout the village…

Finally, the village went completely silent. When everything was silent, a baby who should have died opened his eyes and uttered A loud cry!

"I'm sorry! It's all me, I am useless!" A tragic howl resounded through the mountain village for a long time!

......

The southwestern part of the Heaven Dou Empire, Fusinuo Province, and the Holy Spirit Village.

On the lofty mountain peak, just as Dawn broke through the horizon, a six-year-old boy suddenly opened his eyes, exuding a purple light.

"For three months, Mysterious Heaven Skill still can't break through the first bottleneck. Why? The Purple Demon Eye, which can only be cultivated in the morning, has been improving, but Mysterious Heaven Skill has been unable to break through the bottleneck."

"Could it be because this world is different from my original world?"

Looking at this strange world, Tang San had such a guess in his heart.

"In this world, everyone awakens martial spirit at the age of six, maybe that's the answer..."

"Brother, it's time to eat, let's go home, I'm hungry!"

At this time, a child carrying a huge forging hammer appeared on the mountainside. He was practising squatting under the mountainside carrying a hammer. That was a sledgehammer weighing two hundred catties. (200 catties = 120 Kg. I will be using kg from now on)

But Tang Jiu was lifting the hammer as if it was a straw.

The corners of Tang San's mouth twitched as he watched and muttered to himself, "This Xiao Jiu is really abnormal. I practice Mysterious Heaven Skill, the Tang Sect's supreme internal power, but it is not as good as his naturally increased physical fitness. Especially this strength is better than mine."

Tang San was sure that those masters who specialized in brute force skills in his previous life did not have physical fitness like this at the age of six.

He didn't know that Tang Jiu was also a traverser.

Tang Jiu was an extreme adventurer in his previous life, challenging the limits of various human bodies and exploring various death zones. His idol was actually Tang San!

Because just like Tang San, he also jumped off a cliff, the number of fans who have grown in one day was more than the number of fans he had for three years!

This was utterly unreasonable!

If it weren't for jumping off the cliff, he would have probably become a huge influencer and attract a wave of fans.

But he never expected that it would be his last stream.

Tang Jiu, the cause of his death was that he was eaten alive by bullet ants when he broke his bones after jumping off the cliff. Gruesome!

"Could it be that being killed by an ant is the reason for my abnormal physique?"

In fact, Tang Jiu had guessed that, after all, ants are the most powerful creatures in the animal kingdom!

According to ant mechanics, an ant can lift objects 400 times more than its own body weight, and can also haul objects more than 1,700 times its own weight!

That is to say, a person of 60 Kg, if he has the power of ants, can lift 24 Tonne and drag objects weighing 102 Tonne. Monkey King's mighty rod is only 64.8 Tonne. (T/N: Mighty Rod, hehe)

Enough horror of ant power!

"I didn't expect that my death would have this benefit! I have the proper physical fitness of the awakened spirit beast."

Tang Jiu felt very relieved. After all, the probability of awakening a trash martial arts spirit in this world was too high, and he was not Tang Hao's real son, but the adopted son he picked up. God knows what martial arts spirit would he awaken.

In fact, Tang Jiu had also thought of asking Tang San to teach him Mysterious Heaven Skill, but after a vague trial, he found that Tang San had a strong sense of sectarianism and do not intend to spread the Mysterious Heaven Skill in this world, so he had to rely on himself.

Tang Jiu easily carried the forging hammer, which was even taller than himself, and followed Tang San back home for dinner.

He is very much looking forward to today's Spirit Awakening. Both the brothers were called. Old Jack, the village head, had high hopes. Three days earlier, Old Jack had done some ideological and educational work for Tang Hao.

In the words of Old Jack: "They could just awaken with a hammer spirit. After all, a hammer is also powerful, much stronger than a hoe. Many blacksmiths have hammers as their awakened spirits." (T/N: Grab a hoe, Billy. A hoe… hehe)

Tang Jiu was afraid looking at Tang Hao's face. It was as black as a casting hammer, and he was ready to kick the old village chief. In front of the dignified Clear Sky Douluo, it was really unbearable to belittle the hammer so much!

At the dinner table, Tang San served two bowls of porridge for himself and Tang Hao, and then said, "Xiao Jiu, the rest is yours!"

"It's porridge again, there is no meat at all!"

"No money!" Tang Hao said concisely.

Tang Jiu felt worse than a beggar from his previous life at least they had pork to eat. You can't afford meat even for a magnificent titled Douluo. Your life is too decadent!

No wonder both the brothers are so thin!

Tang Jiu complained but he raised the iron pot unceremoniously and started breakfast. Watching him eat like both Tang Hao and Tang San faces twitched.

Just when Tang Jiu was eating like a Tyrannosaurus, the village elder Jack knocked on the door and came in with a cane. He snorted at Tang Hao first, and then said with a smile: "Little San, Little Jiu, Grandpa is here to pick you up!"

Tang Jiu put down the pot, picked up the casting hammer and pulled Tang San and rushed out, ignoring Tang Hao's ugly expression.

"Little San, don't forget to cook at noon!" Tang Hao snorted coldly.

"Hey, I feel you are living better than me." Tang San glanced at Tang Jiu enviously. Tang Hao seemed to be particularly indulgent towards Tang Jiu, letting Tang San do all the washing and cooking, if it weren't for Tang San's two lives, he'd almost think he was the one who'd picked him up!

"I feel that the old man owes me a lot of money!" Tang Jiu always felt like Tang Hao's creditor.

Tang Jiu and Tang San followed Old Jack to the Martial Spirit Sub-Hall in the centre of the Holy Spirit Village. In such a small village, there is still a Martial Spirit Sub-Hall, which made Tang Jiu slap his tongue. The power of the Spirit Hall is simply huge and terrifying. Spirit Hall's coverage of its outlets at the village level is something that I have only thought about in recent years.

"Respected Spirit GrandMaster, everyone is here!"

Old Jack bowed and saluted a man in his twenties and then said to the children: "Grandpa expects one of you to be a Spirit Master."

The children all let out adoring exclamations; Old Jack had long given the children a science lesson on the Spirit Master realm.

Rank 1 - 10: Spirit Scholar

Rank 11 - 20: Spirit Master

Rank 21 - 30: Spirit Grandmaster

Rank 31 - 40: Spirit Elder

Rank 41 - 50: Spirit Ancestor

Rank 51 - 60: Spirit King

Rank 61 - 70: Spirit Emperor

Rank 71 - 80: Spirit Saint

Rank 81 - 90: Spirit Douluo

Rank 91 - 99: Titled Douluo

In a village where there hasn't been a Spirit Master for a long time, the Spirit Grandmaster master is a big man.

"Well, you also said this nonsense last year. Is it really so easy to become a Spirit Master? I have walked through six villages, and there is no one with Spirit power"

The Blind Douluo was too lazy to listen to the village head's nonsense. Old Jack's expression became lonely, and he could only laugh in a low voice, and his waist became even more hunched.

"Is Spirit Grandmaster very powerful?"

In the Tang Sect's general outline, it is clearly recorded that the more proud people are, the less powerful they are. On the contrary, the kind of unpretentious and introverted talents are real masters! Because they know better than others!

Tang San curiously talked with Tang Jiu in a low voice.

"It should be a low-level cannon fodder, after all, level ninety-nine is the limit, he is only level twenty-six, less than one-third of it." Of course, Tang Jiu knows what kind of strength Su Yuntao has. In another year or two, Tang San would casually hang around to beat him.

Tang San nodded his head, giving full marks to this logical reasoning, only less than one in a thousand people in his previous world were considered experts.

"Ignorance! You may never be Spirit Masters in your life, and you dare to arrogantly talk about my strength and weakness, I can crush you with one finger!" Su Yuntao sneered, glanced sharply at Tang Jiu.

"Good hearing!" Tang San said in surprise. He was whispering in his ears when he was talking to Tang Jiu but Old Jack didn't even hear it.

Tang Jiu murmured, how could he forget that Su Yuntao is a dog, can his hearing be bad?

Su Yuntao was in a hurry. After introducing himself, he directly took out the Wuhun awakening props, six black round stones and a blue crystal ball, placed the stones into a six-pointed star, and directed a child to stand in.

"Close your eyes and feel it carefully."

Su Yuntao screamed, and his Spirit power surged.

"Lone wolf, possess!"

With the infusion of Spirit power, Su Yuntao's black hair turned purple, and the hair began to grow on his bare arms. The muscles all over his body bulged out, full of explosive power.

Long sharp claws grew out of his fingers, a pair of eyes flashed with a faint green light with two-spirit rings, one white and one yellow rose upon his body.

The children were sacred but Tang San was full of curiosity.

While Tang Jiu looked at Su Yuntao, he couldn't help but think of the werewolf in his heart, and was even more surprised at how much the Beast Martial Spirit increased his body strength, if he awakened a powerful Beast Martial Spirit, he would become even more powerful!

Tang Jiu didn't laugh at Su Yuntao's Spirit Ring, after all, it's hard to have the best Spirit Ring configuration if you're not an elite trained by the clan, he just felt that Su Yuntao was too arrogant as a person, and he also liked to instil pessimistic thoughts into people.

Su Yuntao clapped his hands quickly and six green lights were injected into the six black stones on the ground, which burst into a golden light, forming a pale golden light shield, with one golden dot floating into the body of the boy in the shield.

Su Yuntao said majestically, "Extend your right hand!"

The boy couldn't help but extend his hand and a scythe emerged from his palm.

"The scythe has the power to attack, and if it has Spirit power, you can become a Spirit Master." Su Yuntao took out the blue crystal ball and placed it on the boy's hand, without the slightest reaction, he spoke indifferently as he was used to, "No Spirit power, next!"

As the children awakened their martial Spirits one by one, Su Yuntao just shook his head and commented, "No attack, no defence, no auxiliary ability, no spirit power, none of them can become a Spirit master!"

The children were all like frosted eggplants, they were also clear that this was their chance to change their fate, but unfortunately, they had failed.

Finally, it was Tang San's turn, unsurprisingly awakening the Blue Silver Grass.

Su Yuntao shook his head, "Another trash martial spirit. Next."

"You haven't tested my brother's Spirit power yet! Aren't you being a bit irresponsible!" Tang Jiu's tone wasn't very good.

"It's the same whether you test it or not, Blue Silver Grass can't have Spirit power at all, it's a standard waste martial...." Before Su Yuntao could finish his words, he saw the crystal ball under Tang San emitting a blinding light

"What... innate full spirit power!" Su Yuntao's eyes glazed over, but soon after, he said habitually, "Unfortunately, your martial Spirit is Blue Silver Grass, even a farming tool would be better than this! It's a waste of such a good talent!"

"Uncle, what is Innate Full Spirit Power?" Tang San was incomparably curious.

If it were usual, Su Yuntao would have patiently answered some questions, but Tang Jiu's muttering with Tang San just now had irritated him, and besides, a trash martial Spirit had no future, so what if it was Innate Full Spirit Power, he simply stopped paying attention to Tang San and pointed at Tang Jiu instead, "The last one!"

As Tang Jiu stood within the Six Manifestations, Su Yuntao initiated the martial Spirit awakening ceremony, and Tang Jiu felt countless golden dots floating into his body, warming him up as if a flood of power was about to break out of his body!

Tang Jiu reached out, and a transparent circle of light appeared in his hand, looking exceptionally familiar.

"It's not a weapon martial Spirit, could it be a beast Martial Spirit?" Su Yuntao saw that Tang Jiu's hand was empty, then looked at Tang Jiu's body and frowned as a faint shadow emerged on Tang Jiu's body, it was a white, egg!

"A mutated trash Martial Spirit!" Su Yuntao jumped to a conclusion.

What ability could an egg provide to the body? Smashing someone with an egg and then the chicken flies?

"What egg, it's clearly a circle in my hand here!" Tang Jiu wondered you're a lone wolf, not a blind bear! Can't you see the circle of light in my hand?

"You guys can't see?" Tang Jiu looked at Tang San in confusion.

"Little Jiu, there's nothing in your hand, but you seem to have awakened an egg that's floating on your body." Tang San reminded.

"Hey, hey, I really am a genius! I can't believe I've awakened an egg!" Tang Jiu was even more excited, this was a twin Martial Spirit!

The most terrifying thing was still the circle of light in his hand, this kind of martial Spirit that others couldn't see must be a very special and rare martial Spirit, in the Douluo Continent, the rarer and more special the martial Spirit, the more powerful it was!

Just as Tang Jiu was mulling over these things, he suddenly glanced at Su Yuntao's Spirit ring and suddenly realised how the colourless circle of light in his hand was so familiar, it was the same as a Spirit ring!
