Chapter 1: Holy Soul Village (Please Recommend, Please Collect)_1

"Brother Sheng, wake up, it's already noon, how can you still be asleep?"

With his eyes closed, comfortably sleeping on the bed, Xu Sheng heard the naive voice next to him, which annoyed him a bit as he rubbed his eyes and sat up…

Then he irritably glared at the plain-looking little boy beside him, and said with a hint of warm anger, "Xiaosan, haven't I told you not to bother me until the afternoon?"

The little boy's mouth twitched, helplessly rolling his eyes, "Brother Sheng, I don't know who it was that told me to wake you up early yesterday!"

This little boy was none other than the Child of Destiny from Soul Land, Tang San!

A shiver went through Xu Sheng's mind, and he suddenly remembered that yesterday, he was the one who had specifically asked Tang San to wake him early, scratching his somewhat disheveled hair with some embarrassment, he chuckled and said, "Sorry about that, Xiaosan!"

Tang San sighed, waved his hand indifferently, and said, "It's okay, now that you're awake, Brother Sheng, I'll go chop some firewood on the mountain."

Brother Sheng's personality and everything else about him is quite nice, but if you stick around him too much, you always feel a chill seeping into your body, cold to the fingertips!

After saying this, he turned and left the room. Xu Sheng stretched lazily, and then his profound gaze turned toward the window…

His name was Xu Sheng. A few years ago, after dozing off by accident, he woke up to find himself in Soul Land, and it just so happened to be at Holy Soul Village in Fasnuo Province!

Though he was without parents, he had been given a face that even women would envy, with eyes as gentle as water and exquisite features that appeared especially profound.

As a transmigrator, after waiting for years without a system or anything of that sort appearing, he determinedly decided to live the life of a salted fish!

After getting out of bed, Xu Sheng tidied up his appearance. Upon seeing the handsome young man in the mirror, he nodded in extreme satisfaction…

Martial Soul, Soul Power, all can be ignored, but being handsome, that's a must!

Then he propped his chin with his hand, pondering, "Eh, according to the original story, tomorrow seems to be the day of Martial Soul Awakening, the day Suyun Tao arrives, huh!"

As the saying goes, fluid is the protagonist, but the ironclad Suyun Tao is not just hot air!

In almost every fanfiction of the original novel, a large portion of protagonists have met this spirited young man, and of course, from another point of view, he could be said to be the true mole lurking in Martial Soul Hall!

Quietly establishing countless fearsome enemies for Martial Soul Hall…

While he was deep in thought, a series of urgent knocks sounded from outside "tap tap tap…"

Xu Sheng came back to reality, looked towards the door with a slightly puzzled tone and said, "Come in!"

With a "crack," the door was slowly pushed open, and an old man with a hunched body, holding a cane in his left hand, and a kindly face, walked in…

The old man was the chief of Holy Soul Village, Jack!

He walked up to Xu Sheng warmly, a smile on his face, and said, "Xiaosheng, why did you get up so early today?"

Xu Sheng spread his hands in a somewhat helpless gesture, "Couldn't sleep."

Then with feigned ignorance, he asked, "But Chief Jack, what brings you to me so early?"

If he wasn't mistaken, Chief Jack must have come to tell him about the Martial Soul Awakening that was supposed to happen tomorrow!

Sure enough, Jack's face gradually became serious, "Xiaosheng, tomorrow is the day of Martial Soul Awakening. I will come to fetch you before that, so don't miss it!"

Xu Sheng rolled his eyes, attempting to say, "Chief Jack, can I not go?"

Jack declared loudly and firmly, "No! Even though there are very few people qualified to become Soul Masters across the whole continent, you still have to give it a try to know!"

Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly and relented, "Alright, I will wait at home for you tomorrow, Chief Jack…"

Seeing Xu Sheng's unconcerned attitude, Jack said earnestly, "I'm telling you, Xiaosheng, Martial Soul Awakening is very important. Even if you awaken something like a sickle or a hoe, as long as you have a trace of Soul Power, you can become a Soul Master!"

"To become a Soul Master is to be above tens of thousands! Our Holy Soul Village can also bask in glory and flourish because of this!"

With Jack saying this, what else could Xu Sheng say? He just wanted to quietly hold onto coattails and comfortably live the life of a salted fish; why was it so difficult?

And what's more, awakening a sickle or a hoe? Was he really destined just to ease the farming or become cannon fodder?

Impatiently waving his hand to hurry him along, Xu Sheng urged, "Okay, I got it. You probably have to notify others as well, right? Better go quickly, Chief Jack!"

"Hey! You little rascal! Don't forget what I told you!" Jack glared at him, giving one last admonishment before hobbling away…

Xu Sheng muttered to himself, "You're still a blind bear, though!"

Pushing Jack out of his mind, he quickly patted his impeccably clean trousers, a glint flickering in his eyes, "Alright, it's time to go hold onto the coattails then!"

…

Upon reaching the forest where Tang San was chopping firewood, Xu Sheng gazed at Tang San, who was wielding a sickle and drenched in sweat from afar…

As he slowly approached, he opened his water bottle and called out softly, "Xiaosan, stop chopping for a bit and come have some water before continuing!"

Tang San looked at the ever-obliging Xu Sheng beside him, first surprised, then taking the water bottle and taking a swig before passing it back…

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Tang San smiled and said, "Thanks, Brother Sheng."

Deep down, he always felt Xu Sheng was a bit odd today; normally, he wouldn't even think of bringing him water, let alone help chop the firewood—he usually vanished too quickly…

And today he was generously bringing him water?

This isn't logical! Absolutely illogical!

The intuition Tang San had developed over the years made him feel that Xu Sheng was incredibly off today!
