"Hiss~"
Su Yu clutched his head, gasping in pain.
What just happened?
At that moment, a flood of memories surged into his mind, as if they were about to split his brain apart. The memories weren't anything special—just six years of a baby growing up to be a six-year-old.
But still, six years of memories amount to a lot, which is why Su Yu felt like his head was going to explode.
Thankfully, he was able to digest the memories smoothly.
Once Su Yu finished processing everything, the pain in his head subsided.
"But damn, my body still hurts!"
Who?!
Who could be so cruel as to lay such a heavy hand on a six-year-old child?
"Who the hell spanked me?!"
Su Yu was furious!
Even though he had lived for over twenty years, he couldn't accept this situation, not even after transmigrating into a child's body.
Then, he fell silent.
He realized he was in the wilderness, completely alone, with no one around to vent his anger on.
"Besides, what good would it do even if I found them? They're already dead." Su Yu sighed.
He had transmigrated to the world of Douluo Dalu, a place where everyone awakens their martial spirit at the age of six.
After awakening their martial spirit, if one possesses spirit power, they can begin cultivating. Once their spirit power reaches a multiple of ten, they can acquire a spirit ring. Normally, based on the number of rings they possess, people are classified as Spirit Masters, Grand Spirit Masters, Spirit Elders, Spirit Ancestors, Spirit Kings, Spirit Emperors, Spirit Saints, Spirit Douluos, and Titled Douluos.
Su Yu had been transmigrated into such a world.
He had read the Douluo Dalu novels in his previous life, so it was exciting, but he had to remain calm.
"This is no time to let my guard down."
The information in his memories was limited—after all, what could a six-year-old possibly know? But from bits and pieces, Su Yu could piece together the crisis he was facing.
"Evil Spirit Masters?"
Right after awakening his martial spirit, Evil Spirit Masters had attacked his village.
Even recalling it from the perspective of a child, Su Yu could feel the villagers' despair.
His original self had managed to escape death thanks to his parents' efforts, but despite their desperate escape, they hadn't gotten far and were still being hunted by the Evil Spirit Masters.
For a six-year-old to run for his life like that, it must have taken extreme measures from his parents.
The pain in his backside was proof of that.
And then, the frantic escape continued.
"A six-year-old running away—what good will that do?"
"It's a pity, the original Xiao Yu is dead. But if I get the chance, I'll help you kill those Evil Spirit Masters."
Su Yu felt a bit lighter, although—
Even the pain in his body felt more real!
"Damn, it would've been better to have realized this later."
Su Yu chuckled bitterly.
He knew the dire situation he was in. A Blue Silver Grass martial spirit with innate third-level spirit power—what could he possibly do with that? For now, all he could do was pray that the Evil Spirit Masters had no interest in capturing a child like him.
But as fate would have it, what he feared most was about to happen.
Su Yu caught the scent of blood.
It was the nauseating stench of someone who had killed countless people. Just smelling it made Su Yu feel like vomiting.
[You have transmigrated into the era of Douluo Dalu: Peerless Tang Sect. You have received a gift from Blue Star's Will: Heaven-defying Comprehension.]
A message flashed before Su Yu's eyes.
"What is this?" Su Yu had a guess, but he nervously tried to confirm it.
After blinking several times, he was sure it wasn't an illusion.
"As expected, the golden finger never arrives late!" Su Yu confirmed it wasn't a hallucination and breathed a sigh of relief.
In such a dangerous situation, nothing could be more thrilling than awakening a golden finger.
"Heaven-defying comprehension? Sounds good!"
But there was no time for Su Yu to dwell on it. The nauseating scent of blood was getting stronger. He needed to come up with a plan to survive the Evil Spirit Masters.
Run?
There was no way he could outrun them.
Exhausted as he was, there was no chance he could escape a two-ring Spirit Master.
"Is there any way I can hide…?"
Suddenly, Su Yu had an idea.
"Blue Silver Grass!"
The Blue Silver Grass is inconspicuous, naturally gifted with the ability to conceal itself.
Summoning his martial spirit, a small, translucent blade of grass emitting a faint blue glow grew from Su Yu's palm.
[You have studied the Blue Silver Grass martial spirit, developed its unique properties, and mastered the technique of concealing your aura.]
[You have studied the Blue Silver Grass martial spirit and successfully learned how to communicate with external Blue Silver Grass.]
Su Yu lay hidden within a patch of Blue Silver Grass.
The tender blades of grass covered him entirely, hiding him from view.
Even the fluctuations of his spirit power were masked by the grass's innate abilities.
As the Evil Spirit Master passed by, the stench of blood filled the air.
But there was a silver lining to this. If the Evil Spirit Master hadn't thoroughly searched an area, anything he missed was likely to stay missed.
With the overwhelming scent of blood in the air, it would be nearly impossible for him to track Su Yu again.
Feeling that the Evil Spirit Master had moved on, Su Yu cautiously peeked out, scanning his surroundings.
"Boy, so this is where you've been hiding."
"Heh heh heh, surprised?"
"I love playing these games, but I've never once let a prey escape."
The sinister voice sent chills down Su Yu's spine.
The Evil Spirit Master hadn't left.
He saw this whole situation as a game.
This guy is a total psychopath, Su Yu thought.
His mind raced as he considered his options for escape.
In a sudden burst of energy, he darted out from the Blue Silver Grass and sprinted in the opposite direction.
No matter what, the first priority was to run.
Su Yu was already exhausted, but after circulating his spirit power through the Blue Silver Grass, he unknowingly regained a bit of strength.
[Your use of the Blue Silver Grass martial spirit has nourished your body, restoring some of your stamina.]
[You have awakened your potential in the face of danger, achieving a breakthrough.]
Su Yu immediately experienced a moment of clarity, gaining a profound understanding of the life force within the Blue Silver Grass.
[You have achieved a breakthrough and sensed the resilience of the Blue Silver Grass.]
[You have achieved a breakthrough and developed your own spirit technique based on the Blue Silver Grass.]
[You have created the technique: Cutting Propagation!]
Su Yu entered a state of enlightenment, with countless flashes of insight flooding his mind in an instant.
Everything happened in a split second.
After completing this realization, Su Yu resumed his retreat.
No, he wasn't fleeing.
He was putting distance between himself and his pursuer.
This Evil Spirit Master liked playing games?
That underestimation would become his downfall.
In this wilderness, Blue Silver Grass grew everywhere.
Su Yu quickly took advantage of his control over the grass, absorbing some of the nearby spirit power.
Of course, this power was external.
He could only borrow it briefly, and it would soon dissipate.
But for now, it was enough!
"Heh heh heh, little one, keep running! The faster you run, the more excited I get!"
The Evil Spirit Master cackled wildly, his eyes gleaming with manic excitement.
"Heh heh heh heh!"
Su Yu continued running, his face a mask of terror, forcing himself to sprint with all his might.
At the same time, he kept his focus on the Evil Spirit Master's movements.
This time, there could be no mistakes!
