"A Mutant Martial Soul! It must be a mutated Martial Soul!"
The Spirit Master suddenly clapped his hands and shouted in the Awakening Room. He had finally realized what was happening.
"Little friend, come over here and test your innate soul power."
The Spirit Master said to Lin Xuan, suppressing his excitement slightly.
The Douluo Continent is so vast that some people's Martial Souls will mutate, but the direction of this mutation is uncontrollable, sometimes good, sometimes bad.
Some people soar to great heights because of mutated Martial Souls, while others plummet.
The most famous example is the master of the founder of the Tang Sect twenty thousand years ago.
It is said that this master's life was full of misfortunes because of a reverse mutation of his Martial Soul. His Martial Soul was useless except for farting, preventing him from ever breaking through level thirty.
"Just place your hand on the testing device."
The Spirit Master took out a hemispherical instrument and said to Lin Xuan.
In fact, under normal circumstances, with his cultivation level, he could roughly see it by sight, but mutated Martial Souls are special, and there are times when he misjudges them; the instrument is more reliable.
"Hmm!"
Lin Xuan nodded and placed his hand on it.
He was a little nervous; this thing didn't seem much better than Blue Silver Grass.
"Soul Power Level 8!"
"Little friend, you're lucky; it's a positive mutation. The average Green Leaf Grass's accompanying soul power is at most level three or four, only slightly higher than Blue Silver Grass."
Looking at the instrument's results, the Spirit Master said with a smile.
"Thank you, Spirit Master!"
Lin Xuan suppressed his disappointment, put on a smile, and thanked the man.
Sure enough, not everyone starts with a protagonist's invincibility; innate full soul power is just wishful thinking.
However, innate level eight soul power didn't seem unacceptable; at least in a place like Aolai City, he was considered a big shot.
Then again, wasn't it said that every transmigrator in the 21st century would have a cheat code? Where was his cheat? Had his good fortune not come along?
"System, activate!"
Lin Xuan muttered under his breath, unwilling to give up, and to his surprise, it actually happened.
"Ding! System starting up..."
"Blue Star Transmigrator System No. 10086 - Proficiency System, at your service!"
A cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in Lin Xuan's mind, leaving him utterly stunned.
"Damn it! System, you bastard! *******! If I hadn't mentioned it, would you have been slacking off all this time?"
Lin Xuan couldn't help but politely curse the system several times.
Unfortunately, this system wasn't very smart and didn't seem inclined to answer him.
"Little friend?"
At this moment, the Spirit Master beside him gently patted Lin Xuan's shoulder, and Lin Xuan finally came back to his senses.
"Oh, I'm here. Spirit Master, is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Xuan forced a big smile, a genuine one!
"Ahem! The awakening is complete!"
The Spirit Master pointed to the door and said tactfully.
There were still a lot of people waiting outside!
"Sorry! I was too excited just now!"
Lin Xuan bowed and apologized.
"It's alright! We went through the same thing when we first awakened. Little friend, your name is Lin Xuan, right? You have great talent, and I hope you can become an excellent Soul Master in the future."
The Spirit Transmission Master looked at Lin Xuan, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, and then encouraged him a few more times.
Spirit Transmission! Spirit Transmission! These Spirit Transmission Masters travel from town to town to awaken people, all for the sake of inheritance.
No matter what kind of monsters or gods are at the top of the Spirit Transmission Tower, the existence of the Spirit Transmission Tower is a real benefit to ordinary people, objectively replacing the position of the Spirit Hall tens of thousands of years ago.
"I will definitely become a Title Douluo!"
Lin Xuan clenched his fist and said confidently.
With a system by his side, becoming a god is nothing!
"Keep it up!"
The Spirit Transmission Master smiled and patted Lin Xuan's head. This little guy's energy is truly infectious.
"Then, Spirit Transmission Master, I'll be going now."
Lin Xuan bowed to the Spirit Transmission Master and then turned to leave.
After leaving the Awakening Room, Tang Ziran and Tang Wulin were already waiting for him outside.
Tang Wulin had a sullen face, clearly not in a good mood.

"Xiao Xuan, how did it go?"
Tang Ziran asked with a smile, and Tang Wulin, who was standing beside him, also looked over.
"So-so! My martial soul is Green Leaf Grass,"
Lin Xuan said modestly, deciding not to discourage Tang Wulin given his expression.
"That's good too. Every year, many people still haven't awakened their martial souls. With all this time, we can be considered little geniuses,"
Tang Ziran comforted him, clearly assuming Lin Xuan had a useless martial soul like Tang Wulin, and thus refraining from spouting nonsense about useless soul masters.
"Speaking of which, you two brothers both have plant martial souls, one Blue Silver Grass and the other Green Leaf Grass, quite similar indeed!"
Tang Ziran said, pulling the two of them outside as they walked.
"Wulin, you awakened Blue Silver Grass? Isn't that the same martial soul as Tang Fo… the founder of the Tang Sect?"
Lin Xuan feigned surprise, but almost said something he shouldn't have, and quickly corrected himself.
Old Bi Deng is watching!
"Brother Xuan, don't try to comfort me. The Tang Sect's founder's martial soul is the Blue Silver Emperor, not just ordinary Blue Silver Grass."
Tang Wulin rolled his eyes, acting like he wasn't a child, but Lin Xuan's words still improved his mood considerably.
"You're wrong. As far as I know, Tang San used Blue Silver Grass in his early days, before it evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor. Maybe you'll have that kind of opportunity in the future."
Lin Xuan said, and he meant it sincerely.
In the original story, Tang San didn't rely on his martial soul in the early stages, but rather on the Tang Sect's unique techniques.
Tang Wulin didn't say anything, but from his bright, sparkling eyes, it was clear that his favorability rating was skyrocketing.
After leaving Red Mountain Academy, Lin Xuan parted ways with the two.
"Bang!"
When Lin Xuan hurriedly returned home, he locked the door immediately.
He was exhausted from running all the way back.
Lin Xuan picked up the water bottle, gulped down half a bottle of water, and then summoned the system.
"System! What functions do you have?"
Lin Xuan asked impatiently. He was at school, so he couldn't really study the system.
"..."
A moment of silence passed, and the system just stood there with its cold, unresponsive panel.
"No instruction manual? Thumbs down!"
Lin Xuan complained, then he had no choice but to fiddle with the system himself.
After a while, Lin Xuan finally figured it out.
This system was called the Proficiency System. As the name suggested, the system had only one function: to record the skills Lin Xuan had learned.
Through continuous practice, Lin Xuan could gain corresponding proficiency. Once the proficiency was full, the skill would automatically advance; there was no such thing as a bottleneck.
"Seems alright!"
Lin Xuan blinked, immediately thinking of several ways to use the system.
On the surface, the system was a proficiency system, but in reality, it was a golden key to breaking through bottlenecks.
"Let's try it!"
Lin Xuan got up and took out his treasured "Imperial Sword" from the kitchen.
Thrust, chop, parry, hook...
In the blink of an eye, the small wooden stick spun in Lin Xuan's hand, and he executed a set of basic sword moves with fluid grace. In his previous life, Lin Xuan had participated in a kendo club during his university years and had some basic sword skills.
After completing this set of basic sword moves, Lin Xuan summoned the system panel again, and sure enough, a new line of text appeared:
[Basic Sword Skill Level 1 (1/100)]
"Why only a little bit this time! So stingy!"
Lin Xuan pouted; these hundred repetitions would probably take him several days.
Despite his complaints, Lin Xuan picked up his sword and practiced again.
This time, his movements were noticeably more standard and fluid. After completing a set of sword techniques, Lin Xuan felt warm all over, as if he had been soaking in a hot spring, completely without the fatigue he had felt after previous practice.
[Basic Sword Skill (2/100)]
"Awesome! This effect is absolutely amazing!"
Lin Xuan almost jumped up in excitement.
If it were before, ten repetitions wouldn't have been as effective as this; the system clearly also had the effect of increasing cultivation speed.
Reflection! He absolutely had to reflect!
How could he have spoken sodisrespectfully to his system daddy?
