Chapter 1: Reincarnation

Outside the Zhu family residence

The sky was bright, and the white mist covered many trees and plants in the environment.

A little boy dressed in plain linen ran out from the misty housing compound to the small forest behind them. He has light wheat-colored skin, dark black hairs, and even breathing. He ran to the small hill in front of him without any rush.

After around 10 minutes of running, he finally stopped beside a giant tree and started to exercise.

1… 2… 3… 4…

97… 98… 99… 100!

What He did is none other than the exercise into godhood that even allowed a mortal human to defeat supernatural and god with one punch.

Of course, it is not like that he wants to become bald, but it is because he has no choice.

His name is Zhu Jianyu, as in building the universe. He is currently a 4 years-old child.

However, unlike many other kids his age, He has something different that separates him from the others. He is a reincarnator.

He first regained his memories of past life at the age of three.

He was a university student at the faculty of sciences. However, He died due to overwork from school projects and part-time work.

After getting his past memories, Jianyu knows that this is his second chance at life. Furthermore, he finally knows that the new world he is in right now is the world of Douluo Dalu.

But this excitement immediately disappears due to the condition he is in right now.

Although he is a part of the Zhu family, he was only an orphan right now as his father died from the war between the empire while his mother died from giving birth to him. At least that's what he knows from people around him.

Then, why does he need to exercise so hard? It is because he doesn't get anything at all after reincarnating. No golden finger, no system, and no riches.

It was thanks to an internal orphanage that was opened to the member of the family who became an orphan that right now he can still live freely. But that will change at the age of six or when our martial spirit is awakened as all of us will be given independence.

Right now, He can only hope that his soul spirit in the spirit awakening 2 years later will be a powerful one as he then can become a soul master and receive a stipend from the spirit hall.

After finishing exercising, he stopped at the foot of the hill and looked over the peak of this distant hill.

He then swiftly climbed towards the distant hill. Although he is still small right now, his hands and feet are very swift. The hills over a hundred meters high seem to be flat in front of him.

Within a few minutes, I climbed to the top of the mountain.

"As the saying goes, the road to success is 1% talent and 99% hard work. However, if you don't have that 1% of talent, you will never succeed as your progress never reaches 100%. Just like a download bar being stuck at 99% for eternity."

Jianyu looks at the setting sun as goes back down the hill while keep having his own thought inside his head.

'Though, this world is even more different. Here, it is 90% luck from the world, 9% talent, and 1% hard work. Even someone as talented as Tang san will not be able to become a God if not for his heaven-defying luck from the world such as external spirit bones, spirit herbs and so on…'

Jianyu sighed leisurely, "I am one of the go-home clubs in the 21st century. My duty is just reading novels, part-time work, and doing the university homework. How can I cross into the world of the Douluo Continent? A supporting role in an ironman suit."

"Don't give me a gold finger. How can I play it?"

Although Jianyu is also a traverser like Tang San, compared to the protagonist, it is much worse.

There is no background against the sky, no Ding-Ding system, and no martial arts spirit...

Of course, Jianyu is very eager for that, but no!

If there is one that can be defined as a cheat for him is that he has previous life memories and that he is someone who can be considered a smart person.

In a way, bringing science and open-thinking from the internet to this world can also be considered a cheat in its own way.

"Soon, it will be the official plot of the Douluo Continent, and 2 years later I will awaken my spirit in the family awakening ceremony… I just hope that I don't awaken with some farming tool martial spirit or blue silver grass martial spirit."

He can only sigh as He finally comes back to the orphanage building

'I really want to go back... Oh, no cell phone, no computer, can't play games. There is no internet, how would you expect a web novel…'

Jianyu sighed as He finally came back to his room after greeting the orphanage head. Since this is a martial art world, it seems that the access for playing outside is more relaxed than the Earth as they probably will think that the children will just exercise like me outside.

For the past 1 year, he has already exercised his body beyond what he normally did in his previous life. If he can somehow meet his previous counterpart, it might not be an understatement that he right now can beat the adult past him in a fight.

After all, in his previous life, he was just a weak scientist with more brain than brawn who never exercised. Now though, to prepare for the awakening ceremony, He exercises every day to improve his spirit power level.

After cleaning his body, He goes to the dining room to eat together with the other orphan in the orphanage. The food can be said to be quite good. This might be due to the use of herbs and plants when cooking.

After finishing his food, He washes the dish first before coming back to his room consisting of 9 other children. His bed is on the second innermost bed which is a small single bed.

He sat on his own bed before adjusting his posture like doing some cultivation. This is not really true cultivation as this is only an exercise. After all, He still has not awakened his martial spirit yet.

From the outside, the other will just think that he is only imitating the posture for cultivation like what many children do. What he is doing right now is actually a mental exercise since it is also important to spirit masters in this world to train them.

Of course, it is not like he knows some sort of mental cultivation from this world. However, he knows a very simple mental cultivation that every person in his previous life has done. Mental calculation!

What he does is just simply calculate a bunch of numbers using his own head only until he can no longer think. He always does this kind of mental calculation like this every night before sleeping as he exhausts his brain to sleep better.

Although He doesn't know if this is really working at the spiritual level, at least it is working mentally as He now can calculate the multiplication of a 6 digit number with another 6 digits in just around 30 seconds.

After exhausting his whole brain, he falls asleep on his bed as he dreams of getting a dragon for his martial spirit.
