Chapter 1 Transmigration? Garbage System!
Under a hundred-foot-tall tree, a boy with rosy lips and white teeth, and a delicate, porcelain-like appearance, spat rudely to the side.
[Ding... "Uncivilized behavior occurred" Soul Power +1]
"More soul power, garbage system!"
The boy raised his middle finger and cursed, filled with malice towards the system speaking in his mind.
His name is Yu Tianming, a transmigrator. In this life, he transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, a world that seemed like a mere illusion in his previous life. In his previous life, Yu Tianming was abandoned by his parents at a young age and grew up in an orphanage. Later, he went to university, found a job after graduation, but due to his personality, he always offended his superiors and colleagues, so he was always disliked.
One day, he was on his way home after working overtime as usual when he encountered an old man who had fallen to the ground.
He hesitated for a moment, but still decided to help the old man up. Suddenly, the old man grabbed his hand, claiming to be a deity who could grant any wish.
Yu Tianming, thinking the old man a fraud, tried to pull away, but the old man held on tightly. Finally, the old man tapped his forehead with his finger and vanished into thin air.
When Yu Tianming awoke, he found himself in another world—Douluo Continent. Here, he had a new body and a new name—Yu Tianming. He also acquired a cunning and bizarre system to help him improve his strength.
However, this system seemed unfriendly, constantly giving him strange tasks, such as having to laugh out loud when someone made a fool of themselves, etc., things that were extremely "unpleasant." Only by completing these tasks could he obtain soul power rewards. Yu Tianming was very dissatisfied; he was a modern young man from 2012, how could he do such things?
But he couldn't resist the system. So, he could only helplessly accept reality and begin a "difficult" path to becoming stronger.
Having lived in Douluo Continent for six years since birth, Yu Tianming no longer felt that this world was an illusion.
His father, his mother, and his grandfather—these were all flesh-and-blood beings. Perhaps Yu Tianming's belief that Douluo Continent was a fictional world in his previous life stemmed from the novel.
Yu Tianming is six years old this year, born in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. His father is Yu Linglong, the second son of the clan leader Yu Yuanzhen, and his mother is Chen Yan, the daughter of Chen Xin, an elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. His grandfather is Yu Yuanzhen, one of the top powerhouses in the Douluo Continent, the Thunder Douluo.
In his previous life, Yu Tianming was a 996 workaholic, but after six years, he found the world rather ordinary.
For a six-year-old kid, this world is incredibly boring. The world's background is quite bizarre, a blend of East and West, a mix of Western and Eastern fantasy, yet heavily influenced by both.
To avoid being seen as different, he pretends to be a brat. For six years, he has been lawless and wreaking havoc in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the other kids see him as a demon.
Yu Tianming is significantly different from Tang San. Tang San, at the age of four or five, had to take care of his father, displaying a maturity and sense of responsibility beyond his years; Yu Tianming, on the other hand, showed none of this. He was more like an ordinary child, innocent and full of curiosity.
Yu Tianming had almost forgotten the plot of Douluo Continent. He only remembered some key elements, such as the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, immortal items, and becoming a god. These were important elements of the story, and the parts he remembered most vividly.
Before transmigrating, Yu Tianming had browsed many posts evaluating the protagonist, Tang San. Although some people held negative views of Tang San, after becoming a god, the entire Douluo Continent became his private property, and anyone who resisted would face death.
Humans and spirit beasts were nothing more than insignificant ants, and he didn't care how many died.
Of course, the winner takes all, and Yu Tianming neither liked nor disliked him; he was quite interested in that rabbit, though.
Tang San probably hadn't been born yet. A few days ago, Yu Tianming heard from his father that the Pope of the Spirit Hall had personally led a team to capture him.
It's a pity about Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin...
Yu Tianming lamented that he was born at the wrong time. If he had been born a few years earlier, beauties like Bibi Dong, Ah Yin, and Liu Erlong wouldn't have been taken away by others.
Ah Yin would probably be dead soon, and Bibi Dong would probably have even given birth to Qian Renxue by now. Liu Erlong was slightly better off; her second master, Yu Luomian, had recently interfered and interrupted her wedding with Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang was heartbroken to learn that Liu Erlong was his sister, and now nobody knows where she is. Liu Erlong had a big argument with her second uncle over this.
"Sigh, it's all the system's fault. If only I had transmigrated a few years earlier," Yu Tianming grumbled, resting his head on his arms, complaining about his useless system. Other people's systems were awesome, but his was a complete waste—no shop, no exchanges, no tasks, not even the most basic template.
It would occasionally pop up once or twice a month with some small tasks, but the rewards were always just +1 to strength, +1 to charm, or +1 to soul power.
"But I haven't awakened my Martial Soul yet, what's the use of adding so much Soul Power to me?"
In the Douluo Continent, people can awaken their Martial Soul at the age of six.
Martial Souls are passed down through bloodlines, and everyone's innate Soul Power is different, ranging from level one to level ten, with level ten being the maximum innate Soul Power. The higher the innate Soul Power, the higher the future cultivation talent.
The quality of the Martial Soul determines the strength of the innate Soul Power, which is why this world is extremely unfriendly to ordinary people.
"What is Little Tianming thinking about?"
Suddenly, Yu Tianming, who had his eyes closed, flew up. Before he could open his eyes, a milky fragrance wafted over, and a vicious weapon struck his face.
"Ugh... Mother, I'm going to die, ha..."
The person who came was Yu Tianming's mother, Chen Yan.
"Hmph, Little Tianming, today is the day you awaken your Martial Soul, have you forgotten?"
Chen Yan is a level 75 Soul Saint, skilled in preserving her youth. Even at 100 years old, she can still look like she's in her 30s.
If she has the opportunity to break through to the Title Douluo level, her lifespan will increase by 300 years, and maintaining her youthful appearance will be a piece of cake.
"Little Tianming, you're not allowed to be naughty later, understand?"
Chen Yan led Yu Tianming by the hand to a grand hall, pinching his cheek as she reminded him, worried he might misbehave as usual.
"Waaah... Mother knows, I'm not a child anymore,"
Yu Tianming said in his usual spoiled manner.
This man, over 30 years old in both his past and present lives, was shameless when acting like a child; the word "shame" didn't exist in his dictionary.
Children should act like children. He wasn't like that Tang God King, who was self-sufficient and took care of his alcoholic father at the age of four or five—that was too outrageous.
Tang Hao was hailed as the number one genius on the continent, sigh, it was all just an empty title.
Tell me, which child in this world can cultivate independently at such a young age?
The Tang God King started cultivating from childhood, didn't Tang Hao notice? No wonder he's the protagonist!
People on the Douluo Continent grow like crazy after awakening their martial souls, as if they've been injected with hormones. There are countless 12-year-olds who are 1.8 meters tall in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Tianming was somewhat panicked at this moment. Awakening his martial soul was the biggest and most important event of his life.
Despite his current lawless behavior and popularity within the sect, if he awakened a useless martial soul, well, he would face neglect, alienation, and even verbal abuse.
Yu Xiaogang, the last person to awaken a useless martial soul, had experienced this, and he was Yu Yuanzhen's own son.
If even a son suffered this fate, what about Yu Tianming, his grandson?
His mother's martial soul was the Seven Kill Sword, a top-tier weapon martial soul on the continent, and his father's was the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, also a top-tier beast martial soul.
Yu Tianming wasn't greedy; he didn't need to awaken twin martial souls. He only needed to awaken one of his parents' martial souls. With the system's help, his future achievements would definitely not be inferior to Tang Shenwang's.
Yu Tianming thought to himself, "I'm a legitimate modern transmigrator! That Tang God King is just an ancient person from a feudal era. He had the ability to rename Douluo Continent as Tang Family Continent, so why can't I, Yu Tianming, do the same? I'll give it a try! Maybe one day, I'll rename Douluo Continent to Yu Family Continent!" Thinking this, Yu Tianming couldn't help but feel smug.
Then he thought again, "At this time, the Tang God King might not even have been born yet. Since that's the case, why don't I strike early and cut off his chance? Without his chance, let's see how he becomes a god! Haha!"
Meanwhile, in the main hall, Yu Linglong sat there calmly. When he saw his wife leading Yu Tianming in, he calmly comforted him, "Tianming, don't be too nervous."
Yu Tianming glanced at his father, thinking, "Dad, you're really something! Your legs are shaking, and you're telling me not to be nervous!" He chuckled inwardly, but still replied, "Mm."
