Chapter 1: Automatic Cultivation System

Chapter -1.

Douluo Continent, Tiandou Empire!

As dawn broke in Holy Soul Village, a figure descended from the sky and landed on the roof of a small wooden house in the village.

A faint light of fish belly white appeared at the horizon, casting its glow on the figure.

It was a young boy, dressed in a simple white village shirt with short hair that reached his ears, looking clean and tidy, his exquisite face exceptionally handsome.

"Ah, the air in this other world is really fresh, it even has a faint scent of grass, just like when I was a child."

[What the host thinks is true. According to the storyline timeline, you have returned to being a 6-year-old child.]

"What the heck? You mean I'm only 6 years old now?"

Hearing the system's words, Ye Chen felt as if struck by lightning.

"System, I f*** you!!!"

[Replying to the host, the system does not have a mother.]

"Damn it, are you messing with me? I didn't come here just to enjoy the scenery, do you think I'm embarrassed or not?"

Ye Chen's face was filled with black lines; shouldn't such things at least be discussed with him? Just as he was about to vent his anger, the system's voice sounded again.

[Automatic Cultivation System binding in progress]

[Host: Ye Chen]

[Age: 6 years old (originally 17)]

[Realm: Level 0 Unawakened (Classification: 1-10 Soul Master, 11-20 Soul Master, 21-30 Great Soul Master, 31-40 Soul Sovereign, 41-50 Soul Sect, 51-60 Soul King, 61-70 Soul Emperor, 71-80 Soul Saint, 81-90 Soul Douluo, 91-94 Ordinary Title Douluo, 95-98 Super Douluo, 99-100 Limit Douluo/God)]

[Identity: Orphan of the Ye family in Holy Soul Village]

Orphan? Ye Chen was utterly speechless; this system was clearly messing with his mentality.

[Reminder: Please read the system usage instructions carefully before confirming the binding!]

As soon as the words fell, a light screen appeared before Ye Chen that only he could see, with rolling red text that was very eye-catching.

[Automatic Cultivation System, can automatically cultivate and become stronger without any operation.]

"Wow, this is amazing?"

Ye Chen smiled, a bit entranced. He didn't like fighting and killing, and this system suited him very well.

Lying around all day like a salted fish while automatically leveling up was much better than the protagonists in novels who worked hard to cultivate.

"Confirm binding!"

[System binding successful]

A flash of white light passed, and Ye Chen suddenly felt a subtle warmth flowing out from his dantian, then automatically traveling through his body along a special trajectory, never stopping.

"Is this the start of automatic cultivation?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly; this feeling of being able to cultivate without meditating was truly wonderful.

After the warm flow traveled through his body for several laps, it seemed to be slowly increasing in quantity and size, though he couldn't tell if it was an illusion or not.

[Ding, scanning indicates the host is a beginner. Would you like to immediately receive the beginner's gift package?]

"Damn, there's a gift package?" Ye Chen's mouth twitched, unable to contain his excitement: "Claim it immediately!"

[Successfully claimed the beginner's gift package. Would you like to open it now?]

"Open."

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the choice of soul rings from 500 to 2000 years twice, and a spatial storage ring x10m.]

A flash of white light descended from the sky, and then a black storage ring appeared in Ye Chen's hand, looking quite ordinary.

After putting the ring on his index finger, the sky had brightened, and the village was gradually becoming lively.

The two soul ring choices could be discussed later; Ye Chen climbed down from the roof, wanting to see the original scenery of Douluo Continent.

But just as he got down, a shout came from behind him.

"Ye Chen, come quickly, Grandpa Village Chief is taking us to awaken!" 

Ye Chen turned around and saw the person coming, smiling as he greeted: "Tang San!"

In the orphan identity arranged by the system, Ye Chen grew up eating from many families, so he was good friends with many children in Holy Soul Village!

Wearing a blue outfit, Tang San, though still young, already displayed a calm demeanor.

"Are we going to awaken now?"

Ye Chen thought it was too fast; he had just crossed over and wanted to adapt to the local customs, but there was no time left.

"Weren't we just talking about it yesterday?"

Little Tang San ran over, pulling Ye Chen to catch up with the village chief, Old Jack, who was not far ahead, and then headed towards the Wuhun Hall at the end of the village.8 or 9 six-year-old children, led by Old Jack, arrived beside a somewhat towering building. Compared to the other houses in the village, this Spirit Hall indeed stood out.

"Children, this is the handprint left by the Soul Saint of our village. This handprint symbolizes the glory of our village," Old Jack said with a smile, pointing at the handprint on the worn stone platform in front of the building, while stroking his beard and recounting the countless stories of the Soul Saint.

Suddenly, a figure leaped down from the roof of the Spirit Hall, moving with exceptional agility. 

As he landed, the badge on his chest, carved with three long swords, swayed gently. The number of swords represented the third rank title of a Soul Master, the Great Soul Master, while the long swords indicated that this steward from the Spirit Hall was a Battle Soul Master.

"Hello, esteemed Battle Soul Master. I hope to trouble you this time," Old Jack respectfully saluted the young man.

A hint of pride appeared in the young man's expression as he slightly bowed in return, saying nonchalantly, "I don't have much time. Let's start now."

After briefly introducing himself, the Great Soul Master named Su Yuntao led a group of children into the Spirit Hall.

He took out six black stones and arranged them in a hexagon in the air, then began the awakening ceremony for the children of Holy Spirit Village.

Ye Chen and Tang San stood at the back of the crowd. From the expectations in each other's eyes, it was clear that Xiao San placed great importance on this soul awakening.

The first few children's soul awakenings resulted in either a sickle or a hoe, which were very ordinary, and they had no soul power, making it impossible for them to cultivate.

As time passed, fewer and fewer children remained in the Spirit Hall.

Ye Chen felt somewhat nervous. To be honest, he came from the real world, where he had eaten polluted food and breathed polluted air since childhood, and he had no idea how high his soul power was.

"Only two left, who will go first?"

When the Great Soul Master Su Yuntao called out a name, Tang San noticed Ye Chen hesitating and stepped forward.

"I'll go first!"

Nodding at Ye Chen, Tang San was the first to enter the soul awakening formation.

A flash of golden light passed, and Su Yuntao looked at Tang San with some surprise: "Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass and innate full soul power!"

Tang San's awakening was as expected, and Su Yuntao sighed at the rarity of innate full soul power, while also expressing strong disdain for his Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

"What a pity. If your martial soul were anything else, it would be much better than this useless martial soul. What a shame, truly a shame."

Su Yuntao shook his head repeatedly, thinking that this innate full soul power was wasted on such a useless martial soul, and he was about to pack up and leave.

Seeing Su Yuntao about to go, Tang San couldn't help but speak up: "Soul Master, my friend hasn't awakened his martial soul yet."

"Oh, I thought he had already failed."

Su Yuntao looked at Ye Chen, his eyes showing no emotional fluctuations. It was already quite good for a small village to produce a child with soul power; he had no hope for Ye Chen.

"What will my martial soul be?" 

Ye Chen's eyes revealed a hint of expectation as he stepped towards the hexagonal awakening formation.
