The moon hung high in the sky, and countless stars filled the night sky of Douluo Continent.
In a mansion in Tiandou City, Wang Teng lay on a boulder in his yard, gazing at the stars, lost in thought.
Clearly, Wang Teng's mind was not on the beautiful night. To be honest, Wang Teng was just an ordinary person who had caught the wave of transmigration and arrived in Douluo Continent.
"*Sigh* Tomorrow is my 6th birthday, I can awaken my martial soul, but I wonder if the awakened martial soul will be powerful enough?"
Wang Teng was somewhat worried. He had read about Douluo Continent in his previous life and knew that in this world, to live a carefree life, one needed resources!
Whether he could live a carefree life from now on depended on tomorrow's martial soul awakening ceremony.
Although it was generally true that children of parents with high soul power levels had good talent, this was only the majority; there were exceptions.
For example, a certain master from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, whose father was a Title Douluo, was himself a useless person with a 0.5 level innate talent. With such a typical example before him, Wang Teng couldn't help but worry.
The Douluo Continent wasn't as peaceful as his previous life in China. Without strength, he could easily and openly be killed.
Fortunately, his family was doing well this time. His father, Wang Chengkun, was an 83-level Power Attack Soul Douluo, currently the commander of the Second Legion of the Heaven Dou Empire's military, considered top-tier within the Heaven Dou Army.
His mother, Li Chan, was a 79-level Support Soul Saint. Perhaps he himself had decent talent? He also had a younger brother, Wang Chong, a year younger than him.
Wang Teng believed that even if he was a useless person, as long as he could survive, marry a few beautiful wives, and live a peaceful life, it wouldn't be a problem.
Of course, having finally transmigrated, Wang Teng wasn't willing to live an ordinary life; he had to live it up!
However, thinking about his father, brother, and his own name, Wang Teng felt a little awkward. It wasn't that his name was bad; it was the same as in his previous life, unchanged. Everything was fine until a certain author wrote a super popular novel, and his name became a frequent target of jokes.
"My son, Wang Teng, has the potential to become an emperor!" This joke nearly killed Wang Teng.
"But this is Douluo Continent, surely no one knows that?" Wang Teng stroked his chin, thinking. He didn't know why, maybe it was luck, but his name was Wang Teng, he had a younger brother named Wang Chong, and his father was Wang Chengkun—his family members were practically identical to those in that novel.
Of course, there were significant differences. In Douluo Continent, there was no protagonist named Ye Hei, only Tang San. However, these two were somewhat similar; both had a powerful protector in the early stages, making it difficult to harm them.
"No, what am I thinking? I, Wang Teng, am a righteous person, how could I do such a dirty trick?" Shaking his head, Wang Teng banished those dangerous thoughts from his mind.
"If my innate soul power is below level 7, I'll cling to a powerful figure; if it's above level 7, I'll go it alone!"
Thinking about tomorrow's Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony, Wang Teng secretly made up his mind. If his innate soul power reached level 7 or higher, and if he could obtain the immortal herb from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, becoming a mere Title Douluo would be no problem, and even achieving godhood might be a possibility.
If his innate soul power was mediocre, then to live a comfortable life, he would have to cling to a powerful figure.
"But, which powerful figure is stronger?" Wang Teng fell into deep thought.
It was still Douluo Calendar 2630. The future Sea God Tang San was still a newborn baby, and the future Angel God Qian Renxue was still a little girl of about 10 years old.
"Is it Qian Renxue, or Qian Renxue?"
Clearly, Wang Teng's values followed appearance; after all, Qian Renxue was the face of Douluo Continent. Beautiful things are always more appealing!
"*Shudder* I don't like being a kept man!"
Although Wang Teng really wanted to say "I'll barely accept it" as a dignified transmigrator, he couldn't lose face! Just then, a little kid came running over, overhearing Wang Teng's mutterings.
"Brother, what's a kept man?" Wang Chong looked at Wang Teng lying on the boulder, somewhat puzzled.
Glancing at Wang Chong, Wang Teng said mysteriously, "Little brother! You're still young, you'll know when you grow up!"
"Oh! By the way, brother, you're awakening your martial soul tomorrow, Mom told you to rest early!"
"Okay"
The next morning, Wang Teng started his morning training. Having read the original novel, Wang Teng knew how important a strong physique was for a soul master in Douluo Continent. Ever since Wang Teng learned he had come to Douluo Continent, he had always paid great attention to physical training.
Although he lacked specialized cultivation techniques, Wang Teng's ample nutrition gave him a physical advantage over most children about to awaken their martial souls. His father's martial soul was the Profound Iron Guanlet, and his mother's was the Mystic Light Cross—both weapon-type martial souls.
Since children inherit their martial souls from their parents, Wang Teng's future martial soul would also be a weapon-type. It's well known that beast-type martial souls provide a greater boost to physical attributes than weapon-type martial souls. For Wang Teng to absorb a spirit ring beyond his limit would be even more difficult than for a beast-type martial soul master.
Therefore, Wang Teng essentially abandoned the idea of absorbing a spirit ring beyond his limit. After all, absorbing a spirit ring beyond one's limit, without any special abilities or powerful spirit bone enhancements, was simply unthinkable.
Others had similar ideas, but they all failed miserably. Even if there is whale glue, it is difficult to buy. One cannot simply go to one's parents and say, "Mom, dad, I want to but an Aphrosidiac. Why? because it will make me stronger. How do I know? I read it in a novel." Hell no.
After running two laps around his house to warm up, Wang Teng began doing push-ups, sit-ups, frog jumps, and other exercises. Fortunately, his family was well-off, and with the support of medicinal baths, he didn't have to worry about ruining his body.
After finishing his daily training and washing up, Wang Teng went to his family's banquet hall.
At this time, the family of four was missing only Wang Teng. Wang Chengkun, as the legion commander of the Heaven Dou Empire's military, was busy with military affairs and was rarely seen. This time, he was at home because his beloved son was awakening his martial soul.
"Father, Mother!"
"Hmm~! Teng'er, today is your 6th birthday. I'll awaken your martial soul for you in a little while!"
His parents were both high-level soul masters, so naturally, they didn't need to go to the Spirit Hall to awaken their martial souls. After all, the martial soul awakening formation was very simple, and any soul master could learn it.
Knowing that the moment that would decide his fate was approaching, Wang Teng couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Teng'er, don't be nervous, relax, Mom wishes you a happy birthday!" Perhaps noticing her son's nervousness, Li Chan immediately comforted him.
"Mmm~! Thank you, Mother."
