Chapter 1 Genius Who Falls from the Altar

Heavenly Battle Empire, Wuling County, Luo Mansion.

As night fell, a young man stood lazily on an ancient green vine tree in the mansion. The yard was full of weeds, making it look dilapidated.

Inside the loose robe, Luo Chen gradually clenched his hands. During the test of his Martial Soul during the day, he was directly sentenced to trash because of the failure of the third awakening of the Fighting Soul! The cruelty of reality directly returned him to his original state!

Luo Chen, the young master of the Luo family, practiced his soul at the age of three. At the age of six, he broke through the shackles of his soul force and became a one-star Dou Shi.

At that time, he successfully caused a great sensation, and because of this, he became the top genius in the Wuling City of the Heaven Fighting Empire!

Unfortunately, good times did not last long. In the awakening ceremony of the Fighting Soul, because of the first failure of the first awakening of the Fighting Soul, it aroused the suspicion of others. The geniuses of the past shook their bodies and changed themselves into good-for-nothings who could not awaken the Fighting Soul!

The difference between the former geniuses and the previous geniuses was enough to make anyone collapse! Although he was the young master of the Luo family, his status was not even as high as a servant now!

In the Dou Soul Continent, martial arts was the most important thing, and the fist was the strongest! Without strength, even the crown prince of the Tian class would be looked down upon by others.

According to the rules of the Dou Soul continent's Dou Shi Alliance, if one was unable to awaken one's own Dou Soul before the age of twelve, the soul strength within one's body would be completely locked. There would no longer be any possibility of awakening a Dou Soul in one's lifetime. A Dou Soul was the symbol of a Dou Shi.

Dou Shi, a noble profession in the Dou Soul Continent, is a symbol of power! Dou Shi is divided into nine stages according to their hierarchy! And now, Luo Chen is a one star Dou Shi!

Logically speaking, without awakening a Dou Soul, one would definitely not be able to break through the shackles of one's soul force and become a Dou Spirit. However, what was shocking was that Luo Chen was an alien.

Without awakening his Dou Soul, he had become a one star Dou Shi. This had undoubtedly caused a great commotion at that time!

"Useless? Ha, a group of fools. I, Luo Chen, broke through the shackles of soul force at the age of six and became a one star Dou Shi. Scum? What a joke!"

Luo Chen leaped into the air between the branches of the Ancient Green Vine Company. The soul strength within his body whistled out. If the other elite Dou Souls of the Luo clan were to see how powerful he was, they would definitely be shocked and cry out in surprise. This useless young master, who had been abandoned by the Luo clan, had a soul strength that was comparable to a two star Dou Shi! How was this possible!

This was extremely terrifying. One had to understand that the advancement of a Dou Soul was far from as simple as one could imagine.

At the ninth level of the Dou Soul, the advancement of each star required the accumulation of one's soul strength for a long period of time in order to have a slight chance of successfully advancing. Moreover, this was also greatly related to the level of one's Dou Soul.

Generally speaking, the future achievements of a Dou Spirit were related to the awakened type and grade of the Fighting Soul. The higher the level of the Dou Soul, the better the talent, and the higher the achievement and potential in the future!

Therefore, it was up to one's potential. As long as one looked at the level of one's Dou Soul, one would be able to know a thing or two.

Luo Chen was twelve years old and his Dou Soul was unknown. His cultivation was at the peak of a one star Dou Shi. With such strength, he was a rare expert even among the younger generation of the Wu Ling County. His talent was comparable to some of the geniuses in the capital city!

However, everything had changed because of the fact that they were unable to awaken their Dou Souls. Even the originally independent small courtyard had been forcefully taken back. The courtyard that they were currently living in was a place where they had piled up their things in the past. It was rumored that it had been abandoned for many years.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been busy cleaning up the whole afternoon, he wouldn't even be able to come in, let alone stay there.

"It's really ironic."

In the past, he had looked down on everyone. Now that he had lost his power, there was not even a single servant in the large courtyard. After all, the Luo family was one of the three great families in the Wuyang County. Even if he was given up now, the identity of the young master of the Luo family was still there. Wasn't it a little too heartless to chase him out just like that?

What chilled him the most was his father's attitude toward him, especially when his father looked at him when he failed to awaken his soul for the third time, which made his heart completely cold.

"I thought he was a qilin, but I didn't expect him to be a good-for-nothing!"

This was the only sentence that his father had said to him after he failed to awaken his soul for the third time. Now that he thought about it, it was still so harsh!

Bang bang bang!

"I, Luo Chen, am not a good-for-nothing!"

In the dilapidated courtyard, Luo Chen practiced the basics over and over again. Although he was still unable to sense the existence of a Dou Soul, the vigorous soul force in his body was real.

This matter was too strange. Although he did not awaken his Martial Soul, he possessed a soul power comparable to the peak of a one star Dou Shi. What was even stranger was that the soul power in his body was still growing. If others were to find out about this matter, they would definitely treat him as a monster!

This matter was so incredible that it could not be explained at all. It was his biggest secret that even his father did not know.

Hong!

It was as if something in his body had shattered. Immediately after, Luo Chen was stunned to find that the Soul Power of the surrounding world was approaching him at a speed visible to the naked eye. He was shocked. He seemed to have thought of something and his face suddenly turned as white as paper.

The gathering of soul force was clearly a sign of breaking through to a two star Dou Shi. This was originally a great thing. However, at this moment, his expression had become gloomy because of this!

Due to the lack of control over one's soul force, one was unable to control how much one's soul force could absorb due to the advancement of a low level Dou Shi. Normally speaking, one needed a higher level Dou Shi to protect one in order to smoothly advance. Otherwise, if one absorbed too much soul force, not only would one not be able to successfully breakthrough, one would end up bursting apart!

This was not a joke. Back then, when he had broken through to the one star Dou Shi class, he had nearly lost his life because of this. Even now that he thought about it, he still felt some lingering fear.

As he sensed the soul force that was gathering around him, a vicious glint flashed across his eyes.

"I cannot just sit still and await my doom. Soon, it will be my birthday. Once I am over twelve years old, the interior of my body will form the chains of soul force. At that time, my Dou Soul will be completely locked and there will be no possibility of awakening!"

"I, Luo Chen, broke through the shackles of soul force when I was six years old and became a one star Dou Shi. In terms of talent, I, Luo Chen, am not afraid of anyone! However, a Dou Soul is definitely the symbol of a Dou Spirit. If one is unable to awaken a Dou Soul, one does not have the qualification to be a member of the Dou Soul world. It is better to give it a try rather than be useless for the rest of one's life!"

Thinking of this, Luo Chen became ruthless. He no longer suppressed the absorption of soul force, but began to devour it crazily.

The terrifying torrent of soul force formed a vortex that could be seen with the naked eye above his head. It poured crazily into his body as though it was pouring into his head.

Such a terrifying absorption caused even a three star Dou Shi to be shocked. If others were to see it, they would definitely curse it as crazy.

"Wow!"

Finally, due to his physical body being unable to withstand the impact of the soul force, he violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His body swayed and directly smashed down from the Green Vine Ancient Tree, causing him to faint on the spot.

"Am I going to die?"

In the dilapidated courtyard, Luo Chen was seriously injured and unconscious, but the soul power between heaven and earth was still rushing into his body, causing him to be like a ball filled with air, which could explode at any time!

This scene was extremely strange. His head was distorted. However, just as Luo Chen was about to explode, something seemed to awaken within his body. The whale swallowed an immense amount of soul force, causing his bulging body to become shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Crack!

The bones in his body gave a cracking sound of being unable to bear the burden. His skin cracked like a spider web covering his whole body, and his white clothes were dyed red with blood. Because he had lost too much blood, his face was no longer bloody.

If not for the faint sound of breathing, it would be no different from an ordinary corpse.

In the hazy night, the Green Vine Ancient Tree absorbed the scattered moonlight and emitted a faint, gentle green light. If Luo Chen was still awake at this moment, he would definitely be shocked to discover that there was actually a tiny grass within his soul realm vortex that emitted a faint spiritual fluctuation!

There were hundreds of millions of Dou Souls in the Dou Soul Continent. The awakened Dou Souls were different. Dou Souls were generally divided into four kinds. In addition to the beast soul and the artifact soul, there was also a plant soul! These three kinds of Dou Souls were undoubtedly the same. In addition, there was also a special kind of Dou Soul, which was the Elemental Dou Soul!

However, this kind of Dou Soul was too rare. It was a legendary Dou Soul. It was difficult to find a genius who possessed an Elemental Dou Soul among billions of people!

The breakthrough of one's soul strength this time around was a blessing in disguise. It had finally awoken a Dou Soul that belonged to one's own. Although it was only a plant Dou Soul, it was at the very least one of the Dou Souls. If one were to count it, the current Luo Chen could be considered a true Dou Shi!

If the members of the Luo clan were to find out about this, they would likely be extremely regretful. A two star Dou Shi! One must know that even the strongest person within the Luo clan was merely a four star Dou Shi. A two star Dou Shi was definitely a middle class pillar within the clan!

The most important thing was Luo Chen's age. Good girl, a twelve-year-old two-star Dou Soul. Even in the entire Tian Dou Empire, he was still a genius!

The next day, outside the dilapidated courtyard, a group of people arrived in a grand and mighty manner, especially the leading elder. His steps were like that of a dragon and tiger, full of vitality. His head of silver white hair reflected a silvery-white color under the sunlight.

"Hei, he is really a useless person. No matter how bad one's talent is, one would at most awaken two Dou Souls. If I remember correctly, this useless person should have failed his third awakening yesterday, right? I really don't understand why the clan head would keep such a useless person alive."

"Shh, be careful with your words. Although he is a good-for-nothing, he is still the young master of my Luo family. If these words are heard by the family head, he will be in big trouble."

"Humph, bullshit young master, you don't know yet, do you? The top management of the family has already decided to abolish his position as the Young Master. What about the young master? It's hard to say if he can still stay in the Luo family in the future."

"Why is that?"

"You are new, right? My Luo clan is one of the three great clans. It has a great reputation within the entire Wu Ling County. The Luo clan's strength is spread throughout the entire Wu Ling County. There is a strict rule in the clan that the members of the Luo clan, who are unable to awaken their Dou Soul, will be expelled from the mansion and allow themselves to live on their own. Moreover, they will leave their homes without being punished. Tsk tsk..."

"This good-for-nothing didn't even awaken his useless Dou Soul. Once he leaves the Luo family, he will soon starve to death on the street, won't he?"

There were quite a number of private conversations behind the large crowd. It was filled with ridicule!

"Is that where Luo Chen lives?"

"Second Elder, after young master Luo Chen failed to awaken his Dou Soul three times, the clan head became furious..."

"Hmm? Young Master Luo Chen? From now on, this title will have to be changed. Our Luo family is a prestigious family, but we don't have such a useless young master. The family master has ordered that from today on, Luo Chen will be demoted from the identity of a direct descendant and will be expelled from the Luo family! He will never be able to step foot into the Luo family!"
