Chapter 1: Spiritual Energy Resurgence

Earth's spiritual energy revives, and the spatial barrier opens.

Gateways to various dimensional spaces open worldwide.

Demons run rampant, ferocious beasts roam.

Humans on Earth face near-catastrophe, but assistance arrives from inhabitants of other dimensional spaces.

Together, they drive out demons and beasts, reclaiming the dimensional spaces beyond the portals.

However, the spatial gates on Earth remain open indefinitely.

Humans, demons, and beasts engage in a chaotic century-long war.

In this era, human development is not primarily technological.

The key is cultivation, awakening martial souls, becoming soul masters, and exerting influence.

Various soul master schools emerge on Earth.

To enter, one must awaken their martial soul and pass another kind of 'entrance exam.'

Only one in ten has a chance to pass, leaving the majority to lead ordinary lives.

Some, like Lin Fan, refuse to accept a mundane fate.

"Hey, isn't this our school's celebrity, Senior Lin Fan?"

"Been practicing all morning, so diligent."

"A waste who hasn't awakened his martial soul in three years."

"You basically have no hope of awakening your martial soul."

"Tomorrow is the annual 'entrance exam' again."

"Is your diligence going to help you awaken your martial soul tomorrow?"

Mocking voices surround the school's training ground, a daily occurrence for Lin Fan.

Once a school prodigy, envy and jealousy followed him.

He even won the school's beauty but lost her to the path of a soul master in a higher-level school.

Now, Lin Fan, once a shining star, struggles to awaken his martial soul in three years.

Jeers from those who once envied him are now a daily source of relief for them.

However, Lin Fan, training on the field, pays no attention.

After three years of cultivating spiritual power and facing three 'entrance exams,' he still hasn't awakened his martial soul.

This year is his final chance; if he fails again, expulsion awaits.

His life would be destined for mediocrity, a fate he refuses to accept.

"Ding."

"Congratulations, host, on binding the Super Recycling System."

"Awarding the host a big gift package."

"Does the host wish to open it?"

A mechanical voice suddenly echoes in Lin Fan's mind.

As a transmigrator, he knows what a system is.

Could this be a turning point after hitting rock bottom?

"Open."

"Congratulations, host, on acquiring the cultivation technique, Tai Xu Yin Yang Technique."

"Congratulations, host, on reaching level twenty full spiritual power, granting two soul rings directly."

"Congratulations, host, on obtaining twin martial souls, Spatial Martial Soul, and Wind Thunder Martial Soul."

The system's voice fades.

Lin Fan's face, usually indifferent, reveals a subtle trace of surprise in his eyes.

Spiritual power within him surges suddenly.

Level twenty full spiritual power means he now possesses a combat power equivalent to level twenty.

Awakening twin martial souls gives him a solid foundation to step onto the path of strength.

"Lin Fan, you waste, are you even listening to me?"

"Since you love practicing so much, why not let me accompany you?"

Those who mocked him become irritated when Lin Fan ignores them.

Directing his attention to the guy named Shen Tu, Lin Fan calmly says, "Shen Tu."

"If you want to be my training partner, then come and spar with me."

Lin Fan decides it's time to confront Shen Tu after enduring insults for three years.
