Chapter One: Traversing the Worlds Again! Douluo Continent! Su Yuntao, the "Blind Divine King"?
Page 1/3
Douluo Continent, southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire, south of Notting City in the Fasno Province, Holy Soul Village.
At the entrance of a somewhat dilapidated blacksmith shop, an old man and a young boy stood together.
The elder appeared to be in his sixties, thin and gaunt, yet his clothes were clean and tidy, and his hair was meticulously combed. He was holding the hand of a boy who looked about five or six years old. The boy, too, was neatly dressed, with black hair and eyes, fair skin, and a delicate, almost sculpted face. His deep, tranquil gaze betrayed none of the liveliness typical of children his age.
Looking at the blacksmith shop before him, a trace of helplessness and discontent flickered in the old man's eyes as he called out loudly, “Little San, Grandpa has come to pick you up!”
Soon, a young boy emerged from the blacksmith shop. He was about the same age as the child beside the elder, with an ordinary appearance, tanned skin, and short black hair.
Stepping out, the boy greeted them with a cheerful smile, “Village Chief Grandpa! Lu Yu!”
The old man was Jack, the village chief of Holy Soul Village. The child holding his hand was an orphan Jack had found at the village entrance a year prior.
The orphan, named Lu Yu, was alone when Old Jack discovered him and had lost all memories of his past. Old Jack asked around the neighboring villages, but no family had lost a child.
Seeing that Lu Yu was young and amnesiac, Jack took him in.
“Tang San,” Lu Yu replied, smiling at the boy before him.
Without delay, Village Chief Jack led the two boys toward the Spirit Hall at the center of the village.
Here, the so-called Spirit Hall was nothing more than a humble, remote outpost—a simple wooden hut.
Along the way, Tang San’s heart brimmed with anticipation, wondering what kind of spirit he would awaken.
Lu Yu, walking on the other side of Old Jack, was equally absorbed in his thoughts, his brows slightly furrowed. Whenever his gaze fell upon Tang San in the distance, his eyes were filled with unspoken meaning.
Tang San was a transmigrator, a former outer disciple of the Tang Sect who had secretly learned the inner sect’s techniques. This was Tang San’s greatest secret, yet he was unaware that—
Just a few steps away, Lu Yu was also a transmigrator!
What’s more, this was Lu Yu’s second transmigration!
He was thoroughly familiar with Tang San’s secret.
In his previous life, Lu Yu had been born under the red flag, growing up in an era of spring breezes.
A devoted fan of web literature, Lu Yu’s former self had devoured countless works—films, novels, anime, and comics alike.
Never could he have imagined that one day, he would transmigrate to the world of “The Outcast”!
Fortunately, Lu Yu was an orphan with no attachments, so transmigration did not trouble him. In that world, he was born into the Lu family as Lu Jin’s grandson, cherished and doted upon.

To be able to cultivate and possess power beyond ordinary mortals, and to have family by his side—this made Lu Yu very content with his life.
But he never imagined—
He would transmigrate a second time!
This time, it wasn’t “reincarnation,” but his entire being directly descending into the world of Douluo Continent!
Perhaps due to the transmigration, he became a five-year-old child, appearing at the entrance of Holy Soul Village.
As for his supposed amnesia, that was simply his own invention!
The thought of soon awakening his spirit filled Lu Yu with a faint sense of anticipation.
Glancing at Tang San beside him, Lu Yu narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, “He’s cultivating the Tang Sect’s Mysterious Heaven Skill and has already hit a bottleneck. I, cultivating the Triple Reversal Life Technique, have also reached an impasse.”
“To break through and advance further, I must awaken my spirit!”
“This is the rule of Douluo Continent’s world…”
Lost in thought, Lu Yu didn’t notice that the three of them had already arrived at the Spirit Hall in the village center.
In the wooden hut were seven children, all about the same age as Lu Yu and Tang San.
On the Douluo Continent, everyone undergoes the spirit awakening ceremony at the age of six.
Each person awakens their own unique spirit, which can vary wildly in strength and nature.
If one is fortunate enough to possess innate spirit power upon awakening, they break free from the ranks of ordinary people and gain the qualification to become a Spirit Master.
Spirit Masters are the most esteemed beings on Douluo Continent, wielding immense power and holding life and death over common folk.
Survival of the fittest.
Including Lu Yu and Tang San, there were nine children in Holy Soul Village undergoing the spirit awakening ceremony this time.
At the center of the hut stood a handsome young man, a badge of the Spirit Hall on his chest—three crossed longswords, marking his rank as a Rank-Two Spirit Grandmaster.
Old Jack stepped forward to greet the young man respectfully, but before long, the youth impatiently cut him off, directly commencing the spirit awakening ceremony.
To him, the chance of any child in this remote village being born with innate spirit power—thus qualified to become a Spirit Master—was virtually nonexistent.
Looking at the nine children before him, the young man’s impatience faded, replaced by a smile. “My name is Su Yuntao, a Rank 26 Spirit Grandmaster—I will be your guide.”
“Now, I will awaken your spirits one by one!”
“Remember, whatever happens, do not be afraid!”
He then produced six black stones, arranging them in a hexagon on the floor, and signaled the first child on his right to step into the formation.
Standing at the far left, Lu Yu watched quietly, his gaze growing increasingly peculiar whenever it landed on Su Yuntao.

The “Blind Judge King” Su Yuntao—his name was thunderous in Lu Yu’s former life!
At this moment, Su Yuntao summoned his Lone Wolf spirit; one white and one yellow spirit ring appeared, startling several of the children.
Only Old Jack, who witnessed this every year, and the transmigrators Lu Yu and Tang San, remained unfazed.
“Spirit: Scythe, no spirit power.”
“Spirit: Blue Silver Grass, no spirit power.”
“Spirit: Hoe, no spirit power…”
As expected, the first seven children in succession awakened only useless spirits, with no innate spirit power.
So-called useless spirits are those without any potential; even if one possessed spirit power and became a Spirit Master, such spirits would provide little combat or support ability.
“Next!”
Su Yuntao’s impatience was obvious as he waved the eighth child—Tang San—forward.
Tang San took two steps ahead, standing at the center of the hexagonal array as Su Yuntao channeled his spirit power to activate the formation.
Moments later—
“Spirit: Blue Silver Grass!”
Seeing the Blue Silver Grass in Tang San’s hand, Su Yuntao sighed helplessly. “Another useless spirit. This trip to Holy Soul Village was just a waste of time!”
As he spoke, he waved at Lu Yu. “Last one! Hurry up!”
At these words, Tang San paused, then quickly said, “Uncle! You haven’t tested my spirit power yet!”
Su Yuntao shook his head. “No need. I’ve never seen anyone with spirit power awaken a useless spirit like Blue Silver Grass!”
Standing nearby, Lu Yu couldn’t help but admire his expertise.
Well then!
The “Blind Judge King” truly lived up to his reputation!
After Tang San insisted repeatedly, Su Yuntao, thinking he was clinging to a final hope, impatiently tested his spirit power.
And then—
Su Yuntao was utterly shocked!
