Douluo: Eternal Life from the Legend of Dragon King

Chapter 4 Even if I die, I will not change my mind!
"Boom boom boom!"

Just then there was a knock on the door. Chen Xi, who was thinking about something with his head down, was attracted by the sudden knock on the door. Then he looked at the door and frowned.

The only person who would come to me at this time would be the director of the orphanage, right? What happened to her?

"come in."

Chen Xi said with a frown, agreeing to let the person outside enter his room.

As expected, a middle-aged woman who looked amiable and friendly, who was the director of the orphanage, opened the door. She was startled when she saw Chen Xi standing by the window, and then she spoke hurriedly.

"Hey, my little genius, why aren't you asleep yet?"

As the middle-aged woman spoke, she quickly came to Chen Xi, took Chen Xi's hand and walked towards the bed.

Chen Xi looked at the middle-aged woman's back, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he spoke obediently.

"Don't worry, Dean Wu. I'm a little excited after learning that I will awaken my martial spirit tomorrow. I'll go to bed soon."

The middle-aged woman called Dean Wu brought Chen Xi to the bed, asked Chen Xi to lie down, then reached out and covered Chen Xi with a quilt, and then spoke.

"Oh, I understand. Decades ago, I was so excited the night before I awakened my martial spirit that I couldn't sleep. I was afraid that I would not have any soul power."

"But you are a little genius, you must have innate full soul power or high-level soul power, you don't have to worry too much."

Dean Wu looked at Chen Xi lying on the bed with satisfaction. Not only was his appearance impeccable, but his talent was also rare in a century.

This child could run when he was just over one year old, and could compose and recite poems when he was three. He was extremely intelligent and talented.

His poems such as "Quiet Night Thoughts", "Song of the Peasants", "Ode to the Willow", "Bosuanzi: Ode to the Plum Blossom", etc. were all included in the federal cultural textbooks.

Through these, not only did the orphanage's popularity and status in Aolai City increase, but it also brought in some considerable income.

More importantly, the amount of innate soul power in this world is somewhat related to a person's talent and precocity.

Generally, children in Douluo Continent will develop rapidly and mature their minds quickly after their soul power awakens at the age of six. However, children before the age of six are still as immature as the children in their previous life.

If a child shows unusual behavior before the age of six, he or she is most likely a genius.

The most famous examples include the legendary Sea God Tang San, who was said to be able to take care of Haotian Douluo's life at the age of three and had acquired a set of skills; there is also the God of Emotions Huo Yuhao from ten thousand years ago; and recent examples include the Master of the Spirit Transmission Tower and the Master of the Shrek Sea God Pavilion.

These examples all indicate that innate soul power has some relationship with performance before the age of six.

Not to mention Chen Xi's experience. Not to mention compared with gods like the Sea God, if compared with other people on the mainland, he is definitely a peerless genius. Most Titled Douluo could not be on par with Chen Xi before they awakened their martial spirits. She also asked people to predict Chen Xi's soul power, and basically those people said that Chen Xi was definitely a genius.

Therefore, Dean Wu believed that Chen Xi's martial soul must be very powerful. As long as he awakened his martial soul and had high-level soul power, and then entered large organizations such as the Spirit Pagoda, he would definitely be able to become a high-level soul master, and even becoming a Titled Douluo would not be a dream.

Although all of this is hypothetical, the experiences that Chen Xi has demonstrated have given Dean Wu much more hope than those of other orphans.

Titled Douluo, if their orphanage could produce a Titled Douluo, it would be an honor for them. If one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. This is not just talk.

It seems that Chen Xi is the hope of their orphanage. They must hold on to this glimmer of hope...

What’s a pity is that Chen Xi always calls her Dean Wu. It would be much better if he could call her mom. It would be a great honor to tell others that he has such a son.

"I understand." Chen Xi nodded calmly, but sneered in his heart, knowing himself.

He is not a genius, but just an intellectual soul who has received compulsory education.

It was because of these poems he learned in his previous life that he was admired by everyone and was called the number one genius in Aolai City.

The real genius is the Seagod Tang San who possesses his own "top-level skills".

And he also knew that the dean's kindness to him was not love, but an investment.

Chen Xi had personally seen Dean Wu give away some children who had awakened useless martial spirits. He had also seen some children who were born dull being educated by this "amiable" dean with a stick, and he even starved the children to the point where they could eat anything...

If I hadn't taken out the poems from my previous life and acted like a genius, I might have ended up like them.

"Then I'm leaving. I'll take you to awaken your martial spirit tomorrow. You must stay alert."

Dean Wu knew that Chen Xi had a somewhat cold personality. After hearing his response, he nodded, stood up and walked out of the house. As he turned off the lights and closed the door, the house fell into complete darkness.

In the darkness, Chen Xi lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes. Tomorrow he would embark on the extraordinary journey.

The road to transcendence sounds beautiful, but in reality it is very cruel.

Being a soul master has never been a safe profession. No one can guarantee that they will have a smooth journey on the soul master path, and no one can guarantee that they will be able to successfully practice and become stronger.

No soul master can guarantee that he or she will be able to see the sun tomorrow, as they face too many dangers.

Being possessed by a demon during cultivation, being killed for a rare treasure, being avenged by enemies, encountering an evil spirit master, or encountering natural or man-made disasters...

Although in today's information age, the incidence of murder, robbery, revenge and other things has dropped many times compared to before.

But it still does not change the fact that soul masters have to act with their heads on the line.

In other words, the moment you become a soul master, you must be prepared to die at any time.

But what about death?

Now that he has the hope of longevity, he must desperately grasp this glimmer of hope and make it come true.

Chen Xi's only goal in this life is to achieve eternal life and live with the people he cares about.

He will definitely walk on the extraordinary path from now on, even if he dies!

ps: The poems I chose are all poems without any personal stories and are easy to understand.

Besides, people in Douluo World can understand poetry, so don't criticize them mindlessly.

　The protagonist is not Gu Yue Fangyuan. If a modern person travels to another world and wants to make money, the only way is to become a plagiarist.

　　Sometimes I can’t even be a plagiarist…
