Douluo: Becoming the God of Nature from Farming Chapter 001

Heaven Dou Empire.

Green Stream Village.

The sky was faintly bright, and Green Stream Village was still shrouded in a thin veil of morning mist.

Crystal clear dew clung to the bark of the old Ancient Tree at the village entrance.

Xiao Ze, carrying a hoe twice his height, walked along the cobblestone path towards the fields.

On either side were scattered, well-arranged small houses.

Smoke curled from chimneys, blending with the morning mist.

The air was filled with the scent of firewood and rice porridge.

“Little Xiao Ze, going to farm again?”

“Aunt Wang, your dog ran away.”

“Ai… you naughty dog, get back here!”

Aunt Wang chased after her dog, and a few early-rising children were also playing and chasing.

Xiao Ze looked at the village, full of life, and a wide smile spread across his face.

When he transmigrated to this Douluo Continent six years ago, Xiao Ze thought he was going to starve to death.

But Green Stream Village was much wealthier than Holy Spirit Village nearby.

The village had an excellent location, and a small stream flowed through it, making the surrounding farmland very fertile.

The hundred or so inhabitants of Green Stream Village mostly lived by farming.

Xiao Ze’s parents had passed away not long ago, leaving Xiao Ze to farm by himself.

Originally, other villagers wanted to help Xiao Ze with the farming.

When Xiao Ze’s parents were alive, they had helped many people, but Xiao Ze, as a farmer in his previous life, naturally didn’t need help from others.

Tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, wasn’t that what a farmer was for?

At first, others weren’t at ease, after all, Xiao Ze was only six years old and not even as tall as a hoe.

But when they saw Xiao Ze skillfully wielding the hoe, they finally relaxed.

Xiao Ze didn’t know what kind of Martial Soul he would awaken.

His parents’ Martial Souls were a hoe and a sickle.

Perhaps he would awaken one of these two Martial Souls.

For his own future, Xiao Ze had started exercising his body since he was two or three years old.

Now, Xiao Ze’s body was much stronger than that of a normal child.

At the end of the village, a small stream gurgled, its water clear to the bottom, revealing a few small fish.

The washing stones by the stream were polished smooth and shiny.

As the first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, the mist slowly began to dissipate.

Xiao Ze arrived at the fields and began his day’s labor.

“Little Ze, you’re going to awaken your Martial Soul today, and you’re still farming?” an uncle walked over.

“Uncle Li, I might not even have spirit power, and if I don’t, I still have to live.”

Xiao Ze shook his head.

In Douluo Continent, the probability of having spirit power was too low.

Not to mention his parents didn’t have spirit power, so he might be destined to farm his whole life.

As for the conflicts on the continent, they had nothing to do with him.

But thankfully, it was still the Spirit Hall era. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even have money to awaken his Martial Soul.

After all, Tang San next door hadn’t awakened his Martial Soul yet either.

“You’re so capable, you’ll definitely awaken a Martial Soul, don’t worry.”

Uncle Li comforted Xiao Ze.

But he himself knew that awakening spirit power was practically impossible.

Since Green Stream Village began keeping records, fewer than ten people had awakened spirit power.

And the strongest among them was only a Spirit Elder.

Compared to Holy Spirit Village next door, they were far behind.

After a morning of labor.

Xiao Ze’s clothes were now soaked with sweat, and his face was flushed red from the scorching sun.

Noon was when the sun was strongest.

Xiao Ze wouldn’t work during this time, as it wasn’t good for his body.

“Xiao Ze, hurry to the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Master is here.”

“Got it, Village Chief.”

Xiao Ze’s flushed face showed a hint of excitement.

As a transmigrator, he was naturally very much looking forward to awakening his Martial Soul.

Xiao Ze quickly went home to put away his things, changed his clothes, and headed to the Spirit Hall in the village.

The Spirit Hall was the most luxurious place in Green Stream Village, though it was built by the Spirit Hall itself.

Here, the Village Chief had brought six children, and with Xiao Ze, there were seven in total; these were the children from Green Stream Village who were to awaken their Martial Souls.

In front of the Spirit Hall stood a young man with golden hair, his brows showing a hint of pride.

Su Yuntao looked at the seven children below, his expression softening considerably.

“Children, stand in a line, the Martial Soul awakening is about to begin.”

The seven lined up, Xiao Ze taking the very back.

People with spirit power usually appeared last.

“My name is Su Yuntao, a twenty-sixth-ranked Great Spirit Master. Next, I will awaken your Martial Souls, do not be afraid.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ze’s face showed a slight surprise.

It was actually the Blind Douluo.

Although he accepted Su Yuntao’s blessing of a useless Martial Soul, he might not necessarily be strong in the future, but at least there was some psychological comfort.

Su Yuntao took out six black stones and a blue crystal ball from his bag.

“Don’t be afraid later.” After saying that, Su Yuntao lightly shouted: “Martial Soul Possession!”

A green light emanated from Su Yuntao’s body, his hair instantly turned gray and rapidly lengthened, and fur appeared on his skin.

His overall physique also became more robust, looking quite intimidating.

Su Yuntao’s eyes were emerald green, his fingernails transformed into sharp claws, glinting with a cold, sharp light.

One white and one yellow spirit ring shimmered around Su Yuntao’s body.

“Ah!!”

All six children in front were startled and wanted to flee, but Su Yuntao stopped them.

Although Xiao Ze was initially startled, he suppressed the tremor in his heart and watched the Martial Soul Possession.

It had to be said, although Douluo Continent was rubbish, this Martial Soul truly resembled a game.

Spirit skills, spirit bones as equipment.

It was a decent system.

“This child… just like that Blue Silver Grass child, not afraid at all.”

Su Yuntao took a deep look at Xiao Ze.

Xiao Ze gave him a slight smile, Su Yuntao was startled, then lightly coughed, and had the first child stand between the six stones.

The next moment, a faint spirit power was injected into the black stones.

Immediately, a golden light appeared, enveloping the child in the center.

Tiny golden specks of light entered the child’s body.

The next moment, a hoe appeared in the child’s right hand.

“Martial Soul: Hoe.”

“Let’s test for spirit power.”

Su Yuntao actually already knew the result; a hoe generally wouldn’t have spirit power, but given that the Blue Silver Grass before had innate full spirit power, Su Yuntao decided to test it anyway.

Just in case.

The child’s hand was placed on the blue crystal ball, but there was no light at all.

“No spirit power, child, live a good life.”

“Mhm.” The child wasn’t too distraught; with parents alive and no lack of money or food, life was quite good.

Next, child after child was tested.

“Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass, no spirit power.”

“Martial Soul: Sickle, no spirit power.”

“Martial Soul: Hammer, no spirit power.”

…

Su Yuntao wasn’t disappointed; this was the norm.

For commoners to have spirit power, it really depended too much on luck.

“Child, it’s your turn.”

Su Yuntao looked at Xiao Ze, the last one, with a bit of anticipation.

“Okay.”

Xiao Ze slowly walked to the center of the black stones.

Golden light enveloped him—

“Eh… it turned black?”
