Douluo: Crow's Guiding Light

In a world where martial arts reign supreme and the divide between the privileged and the commoners is stark, Sheng Jun, an orphan born into a humble background, grows up ignorant of the ways of combat. Despite his lack of training, he possesses a latent talent that goes unnoticed until fate intervenes in the form of a dying martial master, himself a product of commoner origins. Recognizing Sheng Jun's untapped potential, the master takes him under his wing as his final disciple, passing on his knowledge and skills before drawing his last breath. With the weight of his master's teachings on his shoulders, Sheng Jun vows to use his newfound abilities to challenge the injustices plaguing society, where the powerful oppress the weak. Facing formidable adversaries and daunting obstacles, Sheng Jun's resolve is tested time and again. But with each challenge he overcomes, his determination only grows stronger. Along the way, he gathers allies from all walks of life, united by a shared desire for justice and equality. As Sheng Jun's reputation as a champion of the oppressed and a teacher for all spreads, he draws the attention of those who see him as a threat to their positions. In the end, Sheng Jun's journey culminates in a final showdown with the forces of tyranny that lasts for 30 days, where he is slain due to his only weakness being exposed. He closed his eyes in both regret and satisfaction; regret because he never really had time to enjoy his life, but if given another chance, he would still make the same choices. Still, his last thought was that of satisfaction, knowing that his goals had been accomplished. Little did he know that this was not the end for him, as he opened his eyes in the world of Douluo Dalu. ... I'm writing this fanfic primarily for myself and for those who are interested. The MC will primarily interact with the original main characters of the show, but he will not harbour prejudice against Spirit Hall or hate them in any way without a good reason (obviously since they help common people awaken their martial soul). This is not a harem fanfic, and the MC will not pursue romantic relationships with the original characters. Instead, he will focus on helping them improve in strength and character, particularly Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai. English is not my first language, so there may be many typos and mistakes. This is also my first book, as I didn't find any Douluo fanfic that suited me, so I decided to write one myself. You can't imagine how unbearable my sister and I feel when reading some fanfics. Of course, some might feel the same about my fanfic, and you're free to have your own opinion, so ignore it if you don't like it. By the way, I have no idea how Chinese names work so if you see a mistake please feel free to comment.

Explaining Heavenly Dao Sutra in Detail

Let me explain the Heavenly Dao Sutra in detail now. This might help you understand it better (might be edited in the future).

The Heavenly Dao Sutra (Humans/Spirit Master) has 10 levels, as follows:

Level 0: Starting point when you begin learning and don't actually understand it yet.

Level 1: Achievable through hard work, persistence, and time. At this level, you unlock almost all functions of the Heavenly Dao Sutra, including soul power (qi) cultivation, a chance for special ability manifestation (upon obtaining the first spirit ring), and an increase in physique. Cultivating to the peak of this level before Martial Soul awakening grants Innate Full Soul Power, boosting your talent to that of those who are born with it. Achieving this level before Martial Soul Awakening from scratch is exceedingly rare, akin to a one-in-a-million or even one-in-a-billion occurrence.

Level 2: Also attainable with hard work and time. This level includes all functions of Level 1, plus the total assimilation of your previous spirit ring into your Martial Soul, making it growable, and a special ability upgrade (upon obtaining the second spirit ring).

Level 3: Requires a bit of talent and comprehension. This level represents a threshold where bottlenecks start to appear. Breaking through this bottleneck can be achieved through talent, comprehension, or fortuitous opportunities. All functions of the Heavenly Dao Sutra are available at this level, along with another special ability upgrade + Increase in lifespan.

From Levels 0 to 3, comprehension plays a significant role, rather than talent.

Level 4: Progression requires both talent and comprehension. All functions available and upgraded (except cultivation speed) and special abilities continue to upgrade with each level.

Level 5: All Functions + First Metamorphosis

Beyond: ???

Other effects might be added in the future.

The Heavenly Dao technique does not necessarily need to match your soul power or spirit ring levels. Practitioners can indeed cultivate soul power using other techniques and resources. However, it's essential to note that only by cultivating the soul power cultivation technique provided by the Heavenly Dao Sutra can one break through innate limitations, such as talent and potential. Soul Power cultivated by the Heavenly Dao Sutra is also denser and purer compared to other techniques

The Heavenly Dao Sutra (Animals and Plants): They cultivate it instinctively, akin to how humans breathe, until they reach the 3rd level of the technique. At this point, they gain spirituality and intelligence, after which they experience bottlenecks similar to humans. 

Besides sharing similar functions with humans (except for the growable spirit ring, as all their spirit rings are already perfectly assimilated into their Martial Soul [If the Spirit Beast is transformed human]), Animals and Plants will also experience an increase in bloodline purity and have a chance to evolve into superior species. It's worth noting that this evolution only occurs within the same species, meaning, for example, a rabbit can't evolve into a monkey.

Now, let's discuss the main character's perks as the creator. There aren't many; he simply gain an additional special ability each time the Heavenly Dao Sutra advances a level.
