The Beginning

"Blue Silver Grass, a trash martial soul, innate first-level soul power."

Yun Feng jolted awake from his nightmare, his eyes filled with terror.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he looked at his small hands and felt like crying.

This wasn't a dream!

Recalling what had happened during the day, when he awakened his martial soul, Yun Feng had thought that since he had transmigrated into the world of *Douluo*, he should be granted an extraordinary martial soul or some sort of overpowered system to match his identity as a transmigrator.

Before crossing into this world, he had read countless web novels. How many people who came from Blue Star didn't become powerful?

But reality hit him hard. Watching Tang San, the fated child, awaken his dual martial souls, Yun Feng confidently stepped forward, only to be met with Su Yuntao's disappointed gaze.

"If only it wasn't Blue Silver Grass... Even with first-level soul power, he could have become a soul master."

Six years after transmigrating, all of Yun Feng's hopes were dashed in a single moment.

To say he wasn't disappointed would be a lie!

Just as Yun Feng was drowning in negative emotions, the door to his room suddenly opened.

An elderly man, leaning on a cane and holding an oil lamp in one hand, opened the door. The flickering flame illuminated Yun Feng's face, and old Jack, filled with concern, came to Yun Feng's bedside.

"Feng'er, did you have a nightmare?"

Hearing the voice, Yun Feng snapped back to reality. Looking at the wrinkles on his grandfather's face and the worry in his eyes, he forced a smile, suppressing his negative emotions, and said, "Grandpa, I'm fine."

Old Jack sighed softly. How could he not see that his grandson was pretending to be strong?

"Alright, Feng'er, there's no need to hide your feelings in front of Grandpa."

"Let me ask you, do you want to become a soul master?"

In the small, dim room, the lamp's warmth seemed to fill the entire space. Looking into his grandfather's eyes, the words of refusal that Yun Feng had intended to say got stuck in his throat.

In the end, he followed his heart and said firmly, "Grandpa, I want to become a soul master!"

After hearing Yun Feng's words, old Jack smiled.

"In that case, in a few days, you can go to Nuoding Primary Soul Master Academy with Tang San."

Yun Feng was stunned. "Grandpa, but didn't you already give the village's work-study student spot to Tang San? Why?"

Old Jack smiled mysteriously. "So what? Who needs a work-study spot? Do you think your Grandpa doesn't have any money? I'm the village chief, after all. We'll just enroll like normal students!"

Yun Feng fell silent. He had lived here for six years and knew very well about the family's financial situation. For ordinary people on this continent, surviving was already a stroke of luck.

Under the heavy oppression of the nobles, the remaining money wasn't much. If it weren't for the Spirit Hall's support, life would be even harder for commoners.

So when Jack said this, Yun Feng understood.

His voice trembled a bit. Though he had been adopted and didn't know his birth parents, after six years, Yun Feng already saw Jack as family.

"Grandpa, I..."

Just as Yun Feng wanted to say more, old Jack's tone suddenly turned serious.

"The path you choose for yourself, you must walk it diligently. Understand?"

"Feng'er, you don't have the talent that others do. That's why Grandpa hopes you can make up for it through hard work, so you can go farther in life!"

Just as Yun Feng was about to nod in agreement, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"[Detected that host has awakened their martial soul and received Jack's suggestion to work hard to make up for lack of talent. Complete the suggestion: meditate for at least one hour daily. Reward: meditation speed and quality will both increase threefold.]"

Yun Feng froze, thinking he was hearing things. But when he saw the light screen in his mind, he realized his golden cheat had arrived!

Suppressing his excitement, he smiled at his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, I know. I'll become a soul master everyone will admire, and I'll make sure you live a good life!"

Jack chuckled, his eyes crinkling with satisfaction. "It's a deal then."

After his grandfather left the room, taking the lamp with him, the house fell into darkness again. But this time, Yun Feng's eyes sparkled with determination.

Life's ups and downs come just like this!

"System, are you there?" Yun Feng quietly asked in his mind, but there was no reply.

The light screen still showed only the earlier message.

Yun Feng tried all the methods he could think of, but nothing changed, so he had to give up for now.

However, instead of going to sleep, Yun Feng sat down cross-legged and began meditating.

At first, he didn't notice any difference, and for a moment, he thought his golden finger might be a fake.

But he persisted. After about an hour, the speed at which his soul power circulated suddenly increased threefold, along with its quality!

Feeling this change, Yun Feng finally understood how to use his cheat!

So completing suggestions would lead to rewards?

That's not bad. If he could get more people to give him advice, wouldn't that be perfect?

What did it matter if his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass or if he had only first-level soul power?

With just one suggestion, his cultivation speed and quality had already improved dramatically!

As he thought about this, Yun Feng's hopes for the future soared!

The night passed quickly.

The next morning, when Jack entered Yun Feng's room, he saw him still diligently meditating. He smiled with deep satisfaction.

Although Jack was a mere commoner and didn't even have innate soul power, he knew one thing: no matter what you do, as long as you're determined and persistent, you'll achieve something. Even if luck isn't on your side, at least you'll have no regrets when you grow old.

Seeing Yun Feng like this, Jack quietly left the room to make breakfast.

After a long while, Yun Feng finally broke away from his meditative state, his stomach growling with hunger.

But feeling the newly gained soul power within him, his eyes couldn't help but shine with excitement.

In just one night, he felt like his first-level soul power was about to advance to the second level!

He knew it was easier to cultivate in the beginning stages, but comparing his current cultivation speed to what it had been before, it was like night and day!
