Douluo Continent.
Spirit City.
On the sun-drenched Spirit City Plaza, the annual Spirit Awakening Ceremony was being held.
"Wang An, Spirit: Rock Armored Boar, Innate spirit power Level Five!"
"Xie Miaomiao, Spirit: Iron Tooth Grass, Innate spirit power Level Four!"
"Chen Tianhu, Spirit: Blazing Demon Tiger, Innate spirit power Level Seven!"
...
On a high platform, a Red Cardinal dressed in red robes was presiding over the Spirit Awakening Ceremony.
In the queue, a group of boys and girls were discussing with eager anticipation.
They wondered what Spirit they would awaken later.
However, among them, a well-proportioned little boy in blue robes with short golden hair and a delicate appearance looked calm.
His name was Gu Han, and he was a transmigrator.
Gu Han didn't know why he had transmigrated.
He only knew that before transmigrating, he was catching up on the latest Douluo Continent anime.
Because he was tired, he just went to bed for a nap, and when he woke up, he had become a baby, appearing in an orphanage in Spirit City.
But luckily, he appeared in an orphanage in Spirit City.
Otherwise, Gu Han estimated that in this Douluo Continent World, he would probably struggle to even eat and stay warm.
Just like the protagonist, Tang San.
'I wonder what Spirit I will awaken?'
Looking at the people on the high platform who were awakening their Spirits, Gu Han thought to himself.
Although he was an orphan in the Spirit City orphanage, unlike most other orphans, Gu Han's parents were not Spirit Masters from Spirit Hall.
Gu Han heard from the Dean (Director) that he was brought out of an Evil Soul Master's lair by Spirit Hall's Holy Light Angel Enforcement Team.
When he heard 'Evil Soul Master' at the time, Gu Han was stunned.
Because he remembered that in the novel, Evil Soul Masters seemed to only appear in the Douluo II era, not in Douluo I. He didn't expect them to exist in Douluo I as well.
But thinking about it, it was normal.
Evil Soul Masters were also born from Spirit mutations, and Spirit mutation was a phenomenon that existed since the birth of Spirits.
How could there have been no Evil Soul Masters before, only appearing in the Douluo II era?
In Gu Han's opinion, perhaps the reason Evil Soul Masters were not widely heard of in the Douluo I era was simply because they were suppressed by Spirit Hall and largely couldn't rise to prominence.
But in the Douluo II era, without Spirit Hall's suppression, and with Shrek Academy unable to manage things, Evil Soul Masters ran rampant and became widely known.
And because he was brought out of an Evil Soul Master's lair, Gu Han felt that his parents were most likely ordinary people and probably not Spirit Masters.
According to the rules of Douluo Continent, his chances of becoming a Spirit Master were probably very low.
Therefore, as for going up to awaken his Spirit, since he pretty much knew the outcome, Gu Han had no hope whatsoever.
'Don't transmigrators all have golden fingers? How great would it be if I got a System!'
Gu Han couldn't help but think to himself.
As a transmigrator, he was already six years old and about to undergo Spirit awakening, yet no golden finger had appeared.
What they said online was indeed a lie!
After waiting for several hours, it was finally Gu Han's turn to go on stage for Spirit awakening.
Following the Red Cardinal's guidance, Gu Han ascended the platform, stepped into the Spirit Awakening Array, and then closed his eyes.
To the side, the Red Cardinal injected spirit power into the Spirit Awakening Array, which was composed of six black round stones, resembling a hexagram.
Countless golden light spots immediately emanated from the six black round stones, continuously pouring into Gu Han's body.
For a moment, Gu Han only felt warm currents continuously surging into his body.
In his mind, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded.
[Ding! Detecting active energy, absorbing... Heavenly Evolution System activation progress 1%, 2%, 3%... 100%!]
[System activation complete, welcome to the Heavenly Evolution System!]
What! A System?!
When he heard the mechanical voice in his mind, this sudden surprise made Gu Han's heart fill with astonishment, even as he kept his eyes tightly shut.
System, you've finally arrived!
Do you know how hard I've waited for you?!
And at this moment, the Red Cardinal's low shout also suddenly rang out: "Summon your Spirit!"
Hearing the Red Cardinal's voice, and having already sensed the Spirit within his body, Gu Han suddenly opened his eyes wide and, following that inexplicable connection, his heart stirred.
Amidst a burst of purple light, a very strange-looking creature suddenly appeared in front of Gu Han.
This was a creature resembling a small pig, not large in size, covered all over with light purple fur. Its two ears were wide and large, its body was somewhat plump, and its pair of deep blue eyes were exceptionally spirited, as if possessing self-awareness.
As soon as it appeared, this creature let out a "Luo Luo!" sound, rubbing against Gu Han's leg with immense joy.
This is Luo San Pao?!
When he saw that the Spirit he had summoned was the famous Spirit Soul Luo San Pao, Gu Han was stunned.
Shouldn't his parents in this life have been ordinary commoners?
How could his Spirit be the same Luo San Pao Spirit as Yu Xiaogang's?
Could it be that in this life, one of his parents was actually a Spirit Master from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
And seeing that Gu Han had summoned the Spirit Soul Luo San Pao, the Red Cardinal was also momentarily stunned, hardly believing his eyes.
What kind of Beast Spirit is this?
How can it have a physical form and move on its own?
To the side, in the VIP section.
When she saw the Spirit Soul Luo San Pao summoned by Gu Han, Bibi Dong, who was seated on the uppermost throne, wearing a deep purple imperial robe, with a nine-curved purple-gold crown on her head and holding the pope's scepter inlaid with magnificent gems, tall, with graceful curves, exquisite features, and a noble temperament, suddenly trembled. She abruptly stood up, her beautiful eyes filled with complexity and shock.
"Supreme Pontiff!"
Beside her, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, knowing why, couldn't help but whisper, "Do you need me to find someone to bring this child to see you?"
Bibi Dong did not immediately answer Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's question. She only gripped the pope's scepter in her hand, staring intently at Luo San Pao beside Gu Han, who was undergoing Spirit awakening in the plaza, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
There was nostalgia, pain, reminiscence...
After a good while, Bibi Dong's noble and beautiful face regained its calm. She took a deep breath and said faintly.
"Hmm, you go bring him over. I'll wait for you in the pavilion behind."
...
"Child, your Spirit is truly unique. Come and test your spirit power."
On Spirit City Plaza.
After seeing Luo San Pao happily and contentedly making "Luo Luo!" sounds and rubbing against Gu Han's leg, the Red Cardinal, after being stunned for a while, took out a dark blue spirit power testing crystal ball and handed it over for Gu Han to test his spirit power.
However, regarding his Innate spirit power, Gu Han sighed at this moment, holding no expectations in his heart.
Because he knew very well that his Spirit Soul Luo San Pao was the ultimate degenerate form of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit after its failed evolution into a Golden Sacred Dragon.
It would be good if he even had half a level of Innate spirit power!
Yu Xiaogang was the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, enjoying the best resources and treatment from a young age, yet he only had half a level of Innate spirit power.
He, an orphan, although able to eat and stay warm every day because he was in Spirit City, that was about it. It would be good if he had 0.25 levels!
The final test result did not surprise Gu Han.
"You have... one-quarter level of Innate spirit power..."
After Gu Han placed his hand on the testing crystal ball, he found that the light emitted by the dark blue crystal ball was almost nonexistent. After carefully observing for a long time, the Red Cardinal, with a strange expression, gave Gu Han's Innate spirit power level.
"You..."
The Red Cardinal simply didn't know how to describe it.
In all these years, he had never seen anyone with spirit power, but such a low Innate spirit power level.
Gu Han's Spirit, in his opinion, was truly peculiar, and he didn't expect its level to be so low, which made the Red Cardinal feel quite regretful.
"This guy, didn't the Dean (Director) say he was a prodigy, intelligent since childhood, and would definitely awaken a good Spirit? This Spirit is almost no different from a waste Spirit!"
"Exactly! Exactly!"
"What genius prodigy? No matter how good his mind is, a waste is still a waste!"
...
Below the stage, upon discovering that Gu Han's awakened Spirit Soul Luo San Pao only had one level of Innate spirit power, many orphans who were very jealous of Gu Han couldn't help but hurl insults and ridicule.
However, Gu Han didn't take the words of this group of little brats to heart at all.
Not to mention that he had already activated the System.
Even without it, Gu Han was not that useless Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.
As someone who had read the Douluo Continent series of novels and anime in his previous life, he knew very well how to make the Spirit Soul Luo San Pao evolve.
