Chapter 1: Adoptive Father Tang Hao

In the Douluo Continent, in the peaceful village of Holy Soul, outside a wooden house on a flat grassy area, Tang Yin sat cross-legged, gazing at the green light rising from his hands. Lost in thought, he reflected on past events.

He hailed from Blue Star, sharing the same name, Tang Yin. By, chance, he had crossed over to the Douluo Continent, where he was abandoned by his biological parents for unknown reasons shortly after birth. Eventually, he was found and adopted by Tang Hao, who regarded him as his adoptive son.

Now, at the age of six, Tang Yin held deep respect for Tang Hao, his adoptive father, and was indifferent to the discussions about Tang Hao's character from his previous life.

After all, without Tang Hao's intervention, he would have died upon arriving in this world, torn apart by a soul beast.

Over the years, Tang Yin had come to treat Tang Hao as a true father. However, everything changed after he awakened his martial soul not long ago. Perhaps due to being a transmigrator, he possessed exceptional talent, awakening with full innate soul power and a very special martial soul: green light. Initially shocked by the nature of his martial soul, which evoked fear in others, he soon discovered its unique ability to accelerate the growth of plants. A common Blue Silver Grass, under his influence, could rapidly evolve into a soul beast with ten years of cultivation in a short time. As he grew stronger, this ability would only become more formidable.

Out of respect and trust for Tang Hao, he revealed his martial soul's capabilities shortly after awakening. He had hoped that once he became stronger, he could help revive his adoptive mother, the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, allowing them to reunite as a family.

However, upon learning of his abilities, Tang Hao's demeanor changed drastically. He became unusually strict, pushing Tang Yin to train relentlessly, disregarding his limits. This rigorous training was almost cruel for a six-year-old child.

Initially, Tang Yin believed Tang Hao's intentions were for his own good, to make him stronger. But as he mastered his green light martial soul, he realized he could control the Blue Silver Grass he had accelerated. He overheard Tang Hao's true intentions: to use his abilities to revive A Yin. After years of waiting and despair, Tang Hao saw this as his only chance to bring back his wife, willing to sacrifice anything, even Tang Yin's life, to achieve it.

Faced with this harsh reality, Tang Yin struggled to accept that his adoptive father harbored ill intentions towards him. "Adoptive father, once I grow stronger, reviving mother Ah Yin will not be difficult. I had always wanted to help you reunite with her, but now you have disappointed me," he thought bitterly. "Since you are unkind, do not blame me for being unfilial."

As he contemplated Tang Hao, a hint of ruthlessness appeared in Tang Yin's eyes. He was not a kind person; he reciprocated kindness but would not spare those who sought to harm him. Aware of Tang Hao's ulterior motives, he chose not to confront him directly. At just six years old, he had yet to hunt his first soul ring and was still relatively weak.

He understood that this world was far more complex than he had imagined, unlike the protagonists in the novels he had read in his previous life. Although he was confident that he could carve out a place for himself in this world and conquer those he desired, he was still young and Tang Hao's only hope for reviving his wife.

Tang Hao would only tighten his control over him, making escape impossible. Thus, Tang Yin resolved to grow stronger, enduring the harsh training to become powerful enough to either break free from Tang Hao's grasp or turn the tables on him. When the opportunity arose, he would control Ah Yin and tell Tang Hao, "Mother is in my care; you can rest easy."

Just as this thought crossed his mind, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind. "Detecting the host's strong desire, activating system... 1%... 5%... 10%... 20%... 50%... 100%, system activation successful."

"This system is called the Green Light System. The host's green light martial soul has awakened due to this system's existence."

"The green light martial soul is far more powerful than the host imagines, and its mysteries must be explored by the host."

"As the name suggests, the Green Light System is all about green light, overwhelming to the senses."

"The host only needs to complete tasks related to the green light to receive rewards."

"Since this world is the Douluo world, for every important female character the host secures, they will receive green light points as rewards."

"Note: The more significant the character in the original work, the higher the green light points awarded after completion."

"When the green light points accumulate sufficiently, the host can unlock a shopping store containing any item from the Douluo continent; if the host can imagine it, the system can provide it."

"Additionally, based on the host's green light process, random rewards such as soul bones, soul ring enhancements, soul guiding devices, divine artifacts, and rare medicinal herbs will be granted."

"When the host's green light points reach one hundred thousand, they can traverse to other worlds, and this system will unlock green light rewards in those realms."

"The extent of rewards depends on the host's level of green light achievement."

"The host's journey in the Douluo world begins now."

The sudden activation of the system left Tang Yin momentarily stunned, but he quickly became excited. "I never expected this. Green light! To activate such a system is quite fitting for me."

Looking at the green light martial soul in his hands, a smirk appeared on Tang Yin's face. Since his adoptive father intended to harm him, why should he leave Ah Yin for Tang Hao? After reviving Ah Yin, it would be better to keep her for himself.

After all, Ah Yin was not just any woman; her figure, grace, and gentle nature deeply attracted him. Most importantly, her identity as his adoptive mother added an inexplicable thrill.

Without further thought, Tang Yin retracted his green light martial soul and closed his eyes to begin cultivating his soul power.

Not long ago, he had endured a brutal training session from Tang Hao. Although he felt exhausted, this was also the best time for rapid soul power growth. Being born with full innate soul power, he understood that without absorbing his first soul ring, he could not break through to level eleven, which was a fundamental understanding in the Douluo continent. Yet, during his cultivation, he could clearly feel the gradual increase in his soul power.

As his body grew stronger through training, he also sensed an improvement in his control over his martial soul. The increasing soul power nourished his body, enhancing his physical strength to several times that of an ordinary person.

While Tang Yin sat outside on the grass practicing, inside the room, Tang Hao, looking quite disheveled, stood by the window. Holding a wine jug, he watched his adoptive son, who was radiating green light, and took several swigs from the jug. As Tang Yin cultivated, the surrounding soul power manifested as green light, which shone brightly under the sunlight, casting a green hue over him.

"Little Yin, don't blame me," Tang Hao thought, recalling past events with a hint of reluctance in his eyes. Tang Yin was his adoptive son, raised by him for six years. He remembered how understanding Tang Yin had been, behaving more maturely than most children his age. After learning to walk, he became even more considerate, often taking care of Tang Hao instead.

Now, however, he wanted his son to expend his life force to revive his wife, which felt cruel. Just as a moment of hesitation surfaced, Tang Hao forcefully dispelled it. The thought of Ah Yin's stunning beauty, her voice, her gentleness—everything about her—filled him with determination. No one could stop him from reviving his wife.

"His soul power is nearly solidified, and after these days of training and nourishment, his body has grown significantly stronger, capable of withstanding a soul ring of over four hundred years. It's time to hunt for the first soul ring."

Tang Hao took another hearty drink from the jug. He had no intention of letting Tang Yin attend the Nuoding Academy like his biological son, Tang San. He wanted to keep Tang Yin by his side, training him rigorously to strengthen his physique and prepare him for better soul ring configurations, all for the purpose of reviving his wife.

"Yes! After helping my son hunt for his first soul ring, I will take him to the place where Ah Yin is stored. He will accelerate her growth during the day and train alone at night, repeating this cycle until we can revive her and reunite."

"Ah Yin, wait for us; we will meet again soon," Tang Hao thought, his eyes filled with longing as he turned back into the room. After tidying up a few things, he prepared to leave this place the next day. Before helping his son hunt for the first soul ring, he also planned to visit his biological son, Tang San.
