1 Humble Beginnings

As the sunlight shone in through the window, Lin Feng groaned as his eyes fluttered.

With a groan, he rolled around a few times. With his hands, he pushed on the mattress to get himself up.

"So it's been eight years…"

Soft words emerged from Lin Feng's lips as he sat on his bed with melancholy in his eyes.

In truth, Lin Feng wasn't someone from this world. He was just a normal person living a peaceful everyday life on planet Earth.

That all changed… when Truck-kun attacked.

Yes, Lin Feng was killed as a result of that cliche. And just like in most fanfiction, he was reincarnated into another world.

Through a set of coincidences, he was given the name Lin Feng, the same name that he had donned in his previous life. He didn't have parents, with them abandoning him when he was still a baby.

While most people would be absolutely ecstatic with the fact that they had been transmigrated, Lin Feng wasn't very optimistic.

This world was one of the cultivation worlds that Lin Feng had read of in his past life. He had found out that this was the Douluo Dalu world when he had been brought by his caretaker at the orphanage to have his martial spirit awakened.

There was no spectacle, no roars of shock, no nothing. All he got was an ordinary awakening with a red spear as his martial spirit.

Luckily for him, he had spirit power, albeit only at Rank 6. If not, then this reincarnation may as well have been a waste of time.

His talent could be said to be pretty good, but compared to his current peers, he wasn't anything special when his spear's lack of uniqueness was mentioned.

Where was he? That was simple. He was currently in the Spirit Hall Academy.

Lin Feng didn't really have much of a choice in this. Although he had originally wanted to go to Nuoding Academy in order to become friends with Tang San, and eventually join Shrek to get a chance to obtain godhood, his lack of funds limited him from travel.

He was just an orphan and lacked money, so he could only go to the Spirit Hall Academy where he was sponsored to go by the Spirit Hall.

While one might say to just work for it, remember that he was an ordinary person in his past life. He didn't know how to make a business, and it wasn't like anyone would take an eight year old child seriously anyways.

Speaking of the Spirit Hall Academy, it was time that he got up to go and cultivate. There wasn't a class today, but if Lin Feng didn't want to lose the sponsorship he currently had, he couldn't slack off in the slightest.

Sitting down in a cross-legged position, Lin Feng began cultivating according to the cultivation manual given by the Spirit Hall Academy.

It wasn't very advanced, simple enough to be learned by young students but it was very bothersome and slow to cultivate.

How slow you may ask? Well to put it into perspective, he was currently only at Rank 9.

He had begun his cultivation only a year ago, but three ranks in one year was far too slow compared to anyone else of relevance in the original work, even compared to Dai Mubai.

Oh well. Lin Feng wasn't as talented as any of them anyways. Hence, he would just need to put far more effort into his cultivation in order to succeed.

Spirit energy in the atmosphere entering Lin Feng's body, he felt his cultivation slowly breach the barrier between Rank 9 and 10.

Excitement filled Lin Feng at the thought of this. Rank 10 was the rank where he could obtain a spirit ring and become a true Spirit Master. Before one obtained a spirit ring, they couldn't be called Spirit Masters at all, merely Spirit Scholars.

Only after obtaining the spirit ring could one be said to have truly embarked on the road of cultivation. It was one that was long and arduous, yet many traversed it nonetheless.

It was only after several hours did Lin Feng finally succeed in breaking through to Rank 10. However, he wasn't complacent as he made sure to stabilise his breakthrough, making sure that it wouldn't revert back to Rank 9.

Cultivation was like a building. Without putting a proper foundation, it was bound to collapse.

When he was sure that he wouldn't revert to Rank 9, Lin Feng opened his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.

He got off his bed, stretching his body due to the long period of inactivity.

"I'm finally Rank 10… I can finally be a true cultivator…"

As of this moment, there was no point in Lin Feng cultivating any further. WIthout a spirit ring, Lin Feng would be stuck at an unbreakable bottleneck.

He didn't know why this was the case, but it was probably just the rules of this world.

At this moment, a beeping sound entered Lin Feng's ears, causing them to perk up.

He looked around, trying to find the source of the beeping. However, he couldn't find anything.

The beeping sound soon transitioned into a whirring sound, similar to a sound of something loading.

Before Lin Feng could react to this new stimulus, a strange hologram message suddenly appeared in front of him, inviting him to somewhere.

[Will you accept the Tutorial?]

Excitement instantly filled Lin Feng's heart seeing this. Had his cheat finally arrived? After eight years of living in this place as a mundane person, was he finally going to become extraordinary with this?

Millions of possibilities filled his mind. Perhaps he could obtain flying swords and act as a graceful immortal beyond heaven and earth!

Or maybe he could go the path of anime, and obtain things like the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, or even better, the Arc of Embodiment.

That would be so OP!

His protagonist period is starting with the awakening of this system!

Fuck this world's slow cultivation. See how everyone will react when he drops a Seven Night's Dao and steals all of their abilities with The End.

Just thinking about it made Lin Feng giggle. Looking at the hologram message with the choice of [Yes] and [No] in front of him, he made his choice.

Oh fuck yeah baby!
