Chapter 1: Shadow King

Douluo Continent, Fasnuo Province, Notting City.

"Hiss... this child's martial spirit... is it a beast martial spirit?"

In the Wuhun Hall of Notting City, a young man wearing the deacon uniform of the Wuhun Hall looked at the young man standing in front of him, with doubts on his face.

"Su Yuntao, is he the only child left with a martial spirit awakening?" An old man walked in, looked at the martial arts awakening room where there was only one child left, and asked.

"Master Matthew Nuo." Seeing the visitor, Su Yuntao first saluted him respectfully, and then said: "This child's martial spirit is a martial spirit that has never been seen before. Do we want to make a record?"

"Oh? A martial spirit that has never been seen before?" Matthew Nuo's eyes flashed, "Let's make a record. Since it is a martial spirit that has never been seen before, of course we have to record it." After saying that, he walked in The office opposite.

Hearing this, Su Yuntao nodded. After watching Matthew Nuo leave, he looked at the young man in front of him and asked in a gentle tone: "My child, what is your name?"

"Master Su Yuntao, my name is Cheng Xiao."

"Cheng... Xiao, your parents must be very knowledgeable soul masters." Su Yuntao praised.

Cheng Xiao nodded and did not answer the call.

After all... As a time traveler from Blue Star, it seems that being without a father or mother has become a standard feature, so after he traveled to Douluo Continent, he was raised by the village chief of Chengjia Village next to the Holy Soul Village.

"Then, Cheng Xiao, what is your martial spirit? Is it a beast martial spirit?" Su Yuntao asked curiously.

Cheng Xiao touched his nose and turned to look at the Shadow King standing behind him, wearing a dark purple cloak and armor, his eyes glowing purple through the armor. He paused and said: "Master Su Yuntao, my martial spirit It’s called Shadow Soldier, and it’s a beast spirit.”

"It is indeed a beast spirit!" Su Yuntao's eyes lit up after receiving Cheng Xiao's confirmation. He took the blue crystal ball aside and said with a smile: "Cheng Xiao, let's test the spirit power!"

"Okay." Cheng Xiao nodded, stretched out his right hand, and covered the crystal ball.

The moment his palm touched the crystal ball, dark purple light suddenly filled the entire Wuhun Hall.

"Oh my God!" Su Yuntao exclaimed: "He is born with full soul power! This child is born with full soul power!"

Looking at the little boy in front of him, Su Yuntao was filled with joy. If he could let Cheng Xiao join Wuhun Hall, wouldn't he be able to get a promotion and a salary increase just around the corner?

"Ahem, Cheng Xiao, are you willing to join the Spirit Hall?" Su Yuntao asked with trepidation.

"Uh..." Cheng Xiao scratched his head, "Master Su Yuntao, I think I may disappoint you."

"Huh?" Su Yuntao was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Don't you want to join the Spirit Hall?"

"Master Su Yuntao, I want to become a free soul master, so..." Cheng Xiao was silent for a moment and said slowly.

"Free...soul master." Hearing these words coming from a child's mouth, Su Yuntao's face also showed a little bitterness. Once upon a time, he also wanted to become a free soul master, but the reality was cruel. , he cannot become such a free soul master.

In Douluo Continent...strength is respected. ,

"Huh... okay." Taking a deep breath, Su Yuntao looked at Cheng Xiao's slightly immature face and couldn't help but smile: "I believe in you. With your innate soul power, you must have the ability to change the world. , since you want to become a free soul master, I can't force you to join Wuhun Palace, this is your choice."

"Thank you...Master Su Yuntao." Cheng Xiao smiled.

"Haha, it's okay." Su Yuntao shook his head, then smiled and said: "Since you don't want to join the Wuhun Hall, then I will give you a Wuhun certificate. With it, I believe that the junior college will want you. of."

Hearing this, Cheng Xiao nodded, and after completing the martial arts certificate with Su Yuntao, the two of them walked out of the door one after another.

As soon as the door opened, Cheng Xiao's village chief grandpa came forward with a nervous look on his face.

"Master Deacon, what do you think? Can our Xiaoxiao become a soul master?"

As soon as Grandpa finished speaking, Su Yuntao suddenly smiled and said: "Village Chief Cheng, your grandson Cheng Xiao has become a soul master, and he is still full of innate soul power!"

"First... I am born with full soul power!" Village Chief Cheng turned his eyes to Cheng Xiao, who was standing next to Su Yuntao. A touch of surprise appeared on his old face, and he laughed: "Great! Great! My grandson is born with an innate soul. Full of soul power!”

"Grandpa, please keep your voice down!" Seeing this, Cheng Xiao quickly walked to his grandfather and reminded him in a low voice.

"Cheng Xiao, although you have not joined Wuhun Hall, if you have trouble in the future, you can come to Wuhun Hall to find me at any time." Su Yuntao said.

"Xiao Xiao, why don't you thank the deacon immediately!" Upon hearing this, Village Chief Cheng quickly patted his grandson on the shoulder.

"No need." Su Yuntao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm going to the Holy Soul Village later, so I won't delay you."

After saying that, Su Yuntao smiled at Cheng Xiao and strode away immediately.

After learning that Cheng Xiao was born with full soul power, village chief Cheng returned to the village and told everyone that his grandson was born with full soul power. He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

For this reason, Cheng Xiao was helpless, but he had no choice. Grandpa was proud of his grandson, and there was no need for him to spoil the old man's happiness.

However, there is one thing he needs to figure out now, and that is whether after awakening the shadow king's martial spirit, he can make dead creatures become his shadow soldiers like Cheng Xiaoyu.

Early the next morning, Cheng Xiao couldn't wait to buy a live chicken from a neighbor. He couldn't deal with soul beasts or anything like that, but when it came to poultry, it was no problem.

After processing the chicken, Cheng Xiao took a deep breath, summoned his martial spirit, and then said coldly: "Stand up!"

[…………]

"Well, it looks like a failure." Cheng Xiao sighed.

Just at this moment, a clear, low, plain and majestic voice sounded in Cheng Xiao's mind.

"I am the Shadow King Aspen, the new successor of my power. Are you ready to accept my power?"

"Aspen!" Cheng Xiao's pupils shrank. He knew the existence of the Shadow King as well as he could. After all, the reason why he was able to travel to Douluo Continent was because he watched me upgrade alone all night, but he was too sleepy to go out in the morning, so he didn't take the stairs or the elevator, so he came here.

"It seems that the reason why my power came to this world is closely related to you, my successor." Shadow King Aspen said.

"It seems to be..." Cheng Xiao scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"It seems so? The power rules of this world are quite interesting. Above this world, there seems to be a more powerful power." Shadow King Aspen said lightly.

"They are gods, gods above this world." Cheng Xiao said.

"God? I haven't heard this title for a long time." Shadow King Aspen said: "Accept my power, and you will soon become the inheritor of the third generation of Shadow King!"

As the voice fell, Cheng Xiao only felt that his heart seemed to be pulled by something and began to beat violently. It seemed that his chest was pressed with a breath and he couldn't breathe.

The sudden pain made Cheng Xiao unable to stand up anymore. He curled up on the ground and bent like a shrimp.

"You are different from Cheng Xiaoyu. He has a system made by the designer. Because of the different energy of the world, I can't let you upgrade slowly like Cheng Xiaoyu to accept my power."

"But the power I left in your body will slowly become stronger as your level increases. When you are strong enough, your shadow soldiers will become more!"

"One person is an army, a true king. I hope that when we meet again, you have become a real... Shadow King!"
