Chapter 4: Jiang Jie

Yu Tianjie was dumbfounded.

Staring at the two extremely familiar demon blades on his arms, he began to question his life choices.

Wasn’t this the weapon of the Demon Lord Chonglou: the Flame Wave Blood Blade?! (Referencing the TV drama “Chinese Paladin 3”)

This kind of extraordinary weapon could actually accompany him to the Douluo Continent in the form of a Martial Soul?

Wait a moment.

The current issue shouldn’t be: how could his original pair of worthless daggers evolve into the Flame Wave Blood Blade, such a divine artifact?

With a bewildered expression, Yu Tianjie could only attribute the mutation of his Martial Soul to the grand prize package, after all, if crossing through realities could become a reality, then it was normal for him to possess an extraordinary Martial Soul.

It wasn’t in vain to get his first lottery ticket in his zodiac year!

Although Yu Tianjie didn’t know the specific level of the Flame Wave Blood Blade, it inherently possessed its own domain, much like the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul of Qianjia.

And the domain possessed by the Flame Wave Blood Blade was called the “Realm of Devouring Demons’ Hearts”.

It’s hard to say the exact effect of a domain, but when Yu Tianjie unleashed this domain and witnessed the surrounding trees and grass withering continuously, while feeling the constant influx of soul power within him, he could roughly understand the function of this domain.

Glancing around at the trees and grass that withered due to his domain draining their life force, Yu Tianjie shuddered fiercely, ignoring the heat, and hastily grabbed the roughly dried coarse cloth and the roasted river clam, then bolted away.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one had noticed the situation here, he made a swift exit.

With just one glance, Yu Tianjie already knew how extraordinary his Martial Soul was. At the very least, it was a divine-level Martial Soul.

The quality of Martial Souls ranged from: Waste Martial Souls, Low-grade Martial Souls, Intermediate-grade Martial Souls, High-grade Martial Souls, Top-grade Martial Souls, Super-grade Martial Souls, to Divine-grade Martial Souls.

Waste Martial Souls were those without innate soul power and couldn’t be cultivated, like forks, wooden sticks, or blue silver grasses.

Low-grade Martial Souls possessed soul power but were basically impossible to cultivate, like hoes, sickles, radishes, and even blue silver grasses. Among low-grade Martial Souls, many didn’t have innate soul power.

Intermediate-grade Martial Souls could already be cultivated. Most of the Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent awakened with intermediate-grade Martial Souls, and their cultivation base was mostly in the range of Rank 1 to Rank 2. Soul Masters of Rank 3 were rare; they probably made up about eighty percent of all Soul Masters.

High-grade Martial Souls were relatively rare. Generally, they could be cultivated to the Soul Sage level. With some luck, they could even be cultivated to the Soul King or even the Soul Emperor level.

Top-grade Martial Souls were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns on the Douluo Continent. Martial Souls like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Seven Kill Sword, and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile belonged to this stage. The Haotian Hammer was also in this stage. However, due to Tang Chen’s exceptional talent, he created a series of secret methods for the Haotian Sect, allowing the Haotian Hammer to display the strength of a super-grade Martial Soul.

Super-grade Martial Souls were even rarer than top-grade Martial Souls. The Golden Crocodile Douluo, the second elder of the Martial Soul Temple, had the Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul, which was the most typical super-grade Martial Soul. With his own cultivation, he could reach the level of ninety-eight.

Looking at the entire Douluo Continent, except for the three great Transcendent Douluo, only the Golden Crocodile Douluo reached the level of ninety-eight!

As for Divine-grade Martial Souls, as the name suggests, they were bestowed by the gods.

The Sea God’s Martial Soul, the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul, were purely divine-grade Martial Souls. Martial Souls of this level basically had no shortcomings. Take the Six-winged Angel for example; it could perform long-range attacks as well as close combat, fly, and had attacks in the physical, energy, and spiritual aspects. Its own defense was also extremely outstanding, and it possessed an innate Angelic Domain.

And now, Yu Tianjie actually possessed a divine-grade Martial Soul possibly on par with the Six-winged Angel. For him, who hadn’t grown up yet, this was extremely dangerous.

Without any background or connections, once people discovered the power of his Martial Soul, if he was lucky, he might encounter angelic investors, but if he was unlucky, he might encounter those who would kill him if he didn’t submit…

This was also the reason why Yu Tianjie quickly left the original place.

Yu Tianjie, who had already withdrawn his Martial Soul, ran wildly in the wilderness, looking down at his hands, his expression somewhat excited.

Very good.

In the Douluo Continent, where bloodline was paramount, possessing such a powerful Martial Soul as the Flame Wave Blood Blade would inevitably allow him to dominate the Douluo Continent, even to become a god, with immense strength and endless life.

As for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family?

He chuckled. Whoever wanted to go back could go back.

So much so that now, he didn’t even want the name Yu Tianjie that he had taken from the lottery.

Yu Tianjie…

“I’ll just call myself Jiang Jie from now on. I had the surname Jiang in my previous life, so it’s better to use my own surname.” With a slight smile, he accepted his name as Jiang Jie.

There’s no need to say much about the surname Jiang. As for “Jie,” it was both a homonym for “Jie” and a way to remember his experiences during this time.

Whether it was the experience of being expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family and ultimately starving to death in a dark alley in Heaven Dou City, or because of buying a lottery ticket and ending up getting punched by Old Deng with an “iron fist”.

Both experiences could be considered disasters, couldn’t they?

The experience of being expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family told him that this world was a world where strength was paramount, and only with strength could one possess everything. The experience of being punched by Old Deng with an “iron fist” told him that he won the lottery to come to this world, with a cheat, and being a cheat is better than being nobody!

In short: Become stronger, become the strongest, and then do whatever you want!

“Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, the two brothers, are now around twelve years old, while I am six years old.” Jiang Jie, who was thinking about the plot while rushing on the road, kept pondering.

In the original plot, when Tang San encountered Yu Tianheng, his cultivation level was at Level 39, at around nineteen years old, while Tang San was nearly thirteen.

“Thinking about it, am I actually the same age as Tang San?” Jiang Jie chuckled, his smile radiant.

This way, the stumbling block on his path to becoming stronger, Tang San, could be easily dealt with!

But now, what Jiang Jie needed to do was to obtain his first soul ring! Yes, after undergoing talent enhancement, Jiang Jie naturally became an existence with innate full soul power. However, without divine empowerment, he probably didn’t have innate Level 20 yet, but that’s still sufficient!

The power of the Flame Wave Blood Blade was well understood by Jiang Jie. His cultivation speed would definitely not be slow, coupled with the assistance of the Realm of Devouring Demons’ Hearts, he could definitely leave Tang San far behind and intercept all of his opportunities.

The sky was already brightening, the sun gradually rising.

Naturally, the closest place to Heaven Dou City where soul beasts gathered was the Sunset Forest, the most suitable place for Jiang Jie to obtain his first soul ring.

With the Flame Wave Blood Blade complemented by the Realm of Devouring Demons’ Hearts, Jiang Jie had the confidence to hunt soul beasts alone!
