Chapter 3: Blue Silver Grass, Evolving
Su Yuntao looked at Wang Li with visible pity, sighed deeply, and shook his head before saying, "Three levels of spirit power… With this level of innate talent, why is it Blue Silver Grass? This kind of Spirit has neither offensive nor defensive capability. Even if it were a hammer like the Clear Sky Clan's, or an axe with even half the edge of the Titan Giant Ape's power, he could still become a formidable Spirit Master…"
After expressing his regret, Su Yuntao resumed his duty with professionalism. "Child, what is your name?"
Wang Li replied crisply, "Wang Li!"
Nodding, Su Yuntao pulled out a registration scroll and a pen from his travel pouch. He quickly filled out the Spirit Hall certificate: Wang Family Village, Wang Li… When he came to the Spirit section, he recalled the unusual thickness and rigid appearance of the Blue Silver Grass, and whether out of intuition or momentary whim, he penned the words: "Mutated Blue Silver Grass." At the end, he added: "Three levels of spirit power."
He handed the certificate, bearing Spirit Hall's sigil embossed in gold, to Wang Li and instructed, "Child, take this certificate and wait over there."
Wang Li accepted it without a word, exited the array quietly, and stood to one side—his eyes unfocused and mind seemingly adrift.
Su Yuntao glanced at the boy again, and the sorrow in his heart deepened. In his eyes, Wang Li was still struggling to accept the cruel truth: a rare innate spirit power, wasted on a trash-tier Spirit
Su Yuntao looked at Wang Li with pity, sighing and shaking his head, finally saying, "Three levels of spirit power, with such talent, why is it Blue Silver Grass Spirit? This kind of Spirit has no attack power and no defense. Even if it were a hammer or an axe instead, he could still become an excellent Spirit Master…"
After expressing his emotions, Su Yuntao dutifully asked, "Child, what is your name?"
Wang Li immediately responded, "Wang Li!"
Su Yuntao took out a pen and paper, quickly writing out a Spirit Hall certificate: Wang Family Village, Wang Li… When it came to filling in the Spirit, Su Yuntao thought of the thicker, straighter Blue Silver Grass and, as if possessed, wrote down the five characters "Mutated Blue Silver Grass," finally adding "three levels of spirit power."
He handed the completed Spirit Hall certificate, bearing the Spirit Hall emblem, to Wang Li, then said, "Child, take this Spirit Hall certificate and wait over there."
Wang Li took the Spirit Hall certificate, walked out of the magic circle, and stood to the side, his expression still dazed.
Su Yuntao glanced at him again, and his pity deepened. In his view, Wang Li couldn't accept the news that he had spirit power but a useless Spirit. He shook his head and said, "Next…"
Unbeknownst to him, Wang Li was currently looking at a panel that had awakened along with his memories on that day. The previously unactivated parts had finally successfully activated today:
Host: Wang Li
Spirit: Blue Silver Grass Lv2 (Evolving)
spirit power: Three levels of spirit power (54%) +
Trait: Vitality Lv2 (Blue Silver Grass, found in every corner of the Douluo Continent, though pitifully weak, possesses strong vitality and can slowly recover from damage)
Passive: Tenacity Lv2 (What doesn't kill me makes me stronger. When facing any abnormal status, as long as it doesn't result in immediate death, the physique will become stronger after recovery)
spirit ring: None
Spirit Bone: None
Experience: 0
Looking at this panel, some of Wang Li's doubts finally had answers:
My Spirit is still Blue Silver Grass, but it's not some Mutated Blue Silver Grass; it's an evolving Blue Silver Grass. But is the evolution of the Blue Silver Grass due to my transmigration, or due to this panel?
All in all, this is a good thing. The Blue Silver Grass has only evolved to Level 2, yet it has brought me three levels of spirit power. If the Blue Silver Grass evolves to max level, won't I just take off directly!
Thinking of this, Wang Li was quite excited.
Continuing to look, three levels of spirit power, 54%, +… Does this mean my spirit power is actually three and a half levels, and the plus sign means I can directly increase it?!
Deep blue, add points?!
This solves the problem of cultivation too. How thoughtful, so thoughtful.
Vitality and Tenacity—these are indeed characteristics and passives that plants should have, and their levels are linked to the Spirit's level. That is to say, both traits and passives depend on the Spirit's quality.
Wang Li felt a bit regretful. Even though the Blue Silver Grass Spirit had begun to evolve, its Spirit quality was still too low. If it were one of those top-tier Spirits, it would certainly have powerful traits and passives.
However, speaking of which, a common Blue Silver Grass, and himself, starting as an orphan, are quite suitable. It can increase his survival rate on the path of a Spirit Master. Only by living can he go further.
As for spirit rings and Spirit Bones, those are not things he should be thinking about now. He can only acquire his first spirit ring after cultivating to Level 10.
Wang Li mentally organized all the information he knew. First, he has a cheat: as long as he has experience points, he can directly increase his spirit power. At the same time, his Spirit has begun to evolve, but it cannot be directly increased with experience. So, what he needs to consider is how to gain experience points and the evolution path of his Spirit.
After understanding these things, Wang Li suddenly felt enlightened
Although the future of the Douluo Continent held countless dangers, Wang Li believed that as long as his strength grew, he could freely roam this new world—unfettered by burdens or fear. That belief fueled the fire in his heart.
Meanwhile, Su Yuntao had finished awakening the Spirits of the remaining five children. As expected, none showed promise. Their Spirits were ordinary—farm tools, Blue Silver Grass—with not a single trace of spirit power. Only Wang Li stood out, having a mere Blue Silver Grass Spirit… yet with detectable spirit power. But to Su Yuntao, it meant little.
"A useless Spirit is still a useless Spirit," Su Yuntao muttered, disheartened. Once again, his trip had yielded no true results. Sighing, he dispelled his Spirit possession and returned to his human form. Fatigue was visible in his features as he packed his belongings, slung the satchel over his shoulder, and opened the door.
Outside, the village chief, Wang Ping, stood with a group of nervous parents, all eyes fixed expectantly on the Spirit Master.
Wang Ping stepped forward with a respectful yet hopeful tone.
"Spirit Master… how are the children's talents?"
Su Yuntao gave a final glance at Wang Li before turning back to Wang Ping with regret etched in his face.
"There was one child with some potential—spirit power at level three. He can cultivate."
A brief flicker of hope lit Wang Ping's face—
"However," Su Yuntao added, "his Spirit is just Blue Silver Grass. Even with spirit power, such a Spirit cannot lead to greatness. He won't become a powerful Spirit Master."
Without waiting for a reply, Su Yuntao shook his head and quickly left, hurrying off to the next village.
Wang Ping stood still, his heart sinking. This time had felt different. They finally had a child with spirit power—only to have that sliver of hope dashed. The chance of a powerful Spirit emerging from a commoner village like theirs was painfully slim.
He sighed deeply, then called out weakly,
"Which child had the spirit power?"
Wang Li stepped forward. "Grandpa Chief, it was me."
Wang Ping looked at the boy, surprise flashing in his eyes. "Xiao Li…"
Then, his gaze sharpened with resolve.
"Xiao Li, tell Grandpa—do you want to become a Spirit Master?"
Wang Li nodded firmly. "I do."
Wang Ping's lips curved into a relieved smile. "That's good. I will try my best to get the work-study quota for our village from the city. In three months, I'll send you to Notting Junior Soul Master Academy. Xiao Li… you must cultivate well. If you become a Spirit Master, it won't just change your life—it'll change our entire village."
In this world, Spirit Masters were more than cultivators—they were nobles. With one in their midst, no tax officer would dare bully them. A powerful Spirit Master could earn their entire village exemption from taxes.
Wang Li's eyes sparkled. Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.
He needed a meditation technique. He needed to learn how to read, how to identify Spirit Beasts, how to survive and grow stronger. He knew nothing—not even how to recognize a single word.
**That wouldn't
This passage captures the early tension and ambition of a young character, Wang Li, on the verge of entering the world of cultivation with what is considered a "useless" Spirit—Blue Silver Grass. Yet, it also hints at determination, societal pressure, and the importance of Spirit Masters in the Douluo Continent world.
Here's a revised and polished version that improves flow, clarity, and emotional tone, while still preserving the core essence and worldbuilding elements.
