Chapter 2: A Cataclysmic Start?
With a wave of his hand, the middle-aged man used his soul power to carry a crystal ball that floated to Lin Hao's front.
Large families and clans are different from those in small towns.
Even when faced with a child who had awakened a useless martial soul and would never achieve much in his life, the middle-aged man, a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, was still willing to test Lin Hao's soul power.
A child with a useless martial soul can still become a noble soul master if they awaken even a little bit of soul power and cultivate through meditation.
As long as one can become a Soul Master, one can break free from the masses.
Lin Hao reached out and touched the crystal ball with his palm.
Instantly, a suction force was generated from the crystal ball.
Five points of starlight are inside the crystal ball.
"Soul power, half a level!"
"Next!"
Lin Hao returned to his original position.
The middle-aged man was responsible for awakening the child's martial spirit, while the elders of the Lin family were responsible for registering the relevant information in a small notebook.
The work of awakening martial spirits is being carried out in an orderly manner inside the ancestral hall.
Some people are happy, some are crying.
Two of the eighteen children have no innate soul power whatsoever, and their future fate will be even more tragic than Lin Hao's.
Half an hour later, Lin Hao returned to his home and lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling.
He harbors a great secret.
Actually, he's not from this world.
His soul came from a planet called Blue Star.
One day, he was walking normally on the zebra crossing when he suddenly encountered a drunk driver who ran a checkpoint.
Yes, he hit the jackpot; his soul transmigrated into the body of someone who had fallen off a cliff while gathering herbs.
The original owner of the body was no ordinary person; the current patriarch of the Lin family was his grandfather's younger brother.
His grandfather passed away early, and by his father's generation, he had become a Soul Saint through his own efforts, and was promoted to the position of Protector of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School is as wealthy as a country.
My father is a protector of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and he should have lived a life of comfort and luxury.
However, his father met his mother, Yang Qianqian, while traveling.
Yang Qianqian's martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, a useless martial soul. She is looked down upon by the elders in her family.
His father, Lin Xiao, was a stubborn mule. No matter how much his family pleaded with him, he absolutely refused to take another concubine.
Over time, after several arguments, Lin Xiao moved to the back mountain of his family home to live alone with his wife and children.
It sounds a bit like Lin Dong's family background in the Martial Universe world.
Sadly, Lin Xiao died three years ago while on a mission, leaving behind a widow and her young child.
Since that year, the Lin family has not only cut off the financial support that their direct descendants are entitled to, but also stood idly by while those who bullied their family members.
Three months ago, my mother also passed away not long after, due to excessive grief and overwork.
After his mother's death, Lin Hao's life became extremely difficult, and he often went hungry.
To make a living, Lin Hao had no choice but to pick medicinal herbs on the nearby mountains.
Some time ago, he accidentally fell off a cliff and was on the verge of death when he encountered "Lin Hao," whose soul had traveled through time.
Lin Hao lay on the bed, his eyes darting around the room.
The room was so simple that, apart from the wardrobe and the bed, it could be described as bare walls on all four sides.
To be honest, Lin Hao had high expectations for the awakening of his martial soul.
Having a good martial soul will make your future cultivation smoother.
However, to Lin Hao's disappointment and helplessness, he did not awaken the Crimson Flame Blood Vine, which possessed powerful control abilities; his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass.
"Blue Silver Grass, a useless martial soul."
The words of the middle-aged man in charge of awakening martial spirits kept echoing in Lin Hao's mind.
In my previous life, I also read fan fiction about Douluo Continent.
The main characters either fall off a cliff, awaken their martial spirit, or accidentally step on an ant.
Regardless of the circumstances, the transmigrator will eventually activate and bind to the system 100%.
If transmigrators really had all sorts of amazing systems, just like in the novels I read in my previous life, that would be great.
With the system, one is destined to stand out and write a legendary chapter in one's own life.
Unfortunately, no.
Lin Hao does not have a system.
Not only did he not have a system, but after his injuries healed, he also searched his house more than a dozen times.
They dug three feet into the ground, but found no ring, no small jade bottle, and no ancient artifacts that their parents and ancestors had risked their lives to bring out from a mysterious place.
Not only is there no system, but there isn't even the slightest bit of a cheat code.
If we really have to say what makes Lin Hao, who is also a transmigrator, different from other transmigrators, then it's only his newly awakened martial soul, Blue Silver Grass!
Blue Silver Grass is a useless martial soul; this is the common understanding among all soul masters across the continent.
Upon awakening his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, Lin Hao couldn't help but think of Tang San, who possessed the same martial soul.
Later on, Tang San almost never used Blue Silver Grass in battle.
This precisely proves that Blue Silver Grass is a useless martial soul.
Both being transmigrators, Lin Hao's situation was even more tragic than Tang San's.
Tang San's innate soul power is level ten, while Lin Hao's innate soul power is level half.
Half level, or 0.5 level.
The higher one's innate soul power, the greater one's acquired achievements.
As is well known, one's innate soul power is directly proportional to the speed of cultivation.
Half-level innate soul power is like a curse, making one's future predictable.
Lin Hao held very high hopes for the awakening of his martial soul.
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment when the expectation is not met.
When he was fortunate enough to step into the world of the extraordinary, he was also destined to have little future.
The huge gap between expectations and reality is really hard to accept.
Lin Hao lay on the bed, his hands clenched tightly in resentment.
As a transmigrator, I have no background whatsoever, no system, and no cheat codes.
The awakened martial soul is still the Blue Silver Grass, a useless martial soul with half a level of innate soul power.
What kind of start is this?
This is a disastrous start.
In the past, the phrase "the sky is falling" was just something he talked about, but now Lin Hao is experiencing the feeling of the sky falling firsthand.
Do not!
Suddenly, a glint of inspiration lit up Lin Hao's eyes, and he sat up in bed.
No, I still have hope.
Unwilling to accept defeat, Lin Hao sought solace in finding someone even more miserable than himself.
Characters from other dimensions appeared in his mind.
Think of that Desolate Heavenly Emperor, he died several times before finally attaining enlightenment in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
He is familiar with the plot of Douluo Continent for decades or even tens of thousands of years, which is a unique advantage he has over Tang San, who is also a transmigrator.
"There are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters."
"Without choosing the right path of evolution, even the most powerful martial soul will be awakened in vain."
Is Blue Silver Grass really a useless martial soul?
After calming down, Lin Hao began to analyze his own martial soul, Blue Silver Grass.
Tang San's Blue Silver Grass follows the control-type path.
The control-type Blue Silver Grass evolves primarily through resilience and paralyzing poison.
Lin Hao had a completely different opinion on this.
As the saying goes, "Wildfire cannot burn it all; the spring breeze brings it back to life."
The Willow God in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is actually a willow tree.
The strongest attribute of herbaceous plants is not control.
Undeniably, entanglement and binding are its characteristics, but not its strongest characteristics.
The strongest attribute of herbaceous plants is their innate vigorous vitality.
"Blue Silver Grass should follow the path of life's evolution!"
