Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 1: Transmigrating to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Awakening of the Martial Soul
Nestled among the mountains southwest of Tiandou City, a magnificent castle stands.

As one of the three upper sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has strict defenses, especially on such an important day as today.

In the center of the castle, outside the main hall of the sect, six black stone pillars form a hexagonal shape around the plaza. On the stone platform in the center of the plaza, there is a glittering crystal ball.

Sect Master Ning Fengzhi stood in front of the stone platform, looking at a group of children in the square.

"Today is the day for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to awaken its martial souls. You children are the future of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the most top-tier support-type weapon spirit on the Douluo Continent. Your starting point will be much higher than others..."

Ning Fengzhi was addressing the future leaders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but the little girl standing at the head of the group was yawning boredly, showing no regard for Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader.

Ning Fengzhi originally had a lot more to say to the children, but noticing the girl's boredom, he glared at her.

But the girl wasn't afraid at all; she even made a face at Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi paused in his speech, but the little girl burst out laughing at the thought.

This speech is completely unspeakable.

Even the usually gentle and refined Ning Fengzhi looked somewhat sullen.

This girl is really disrespectful to her father.

Among the group of children, a boy dressed in light blue clothes looked around at the black stone pillars with curiosity.

This is far more impressive than when Su Yuntao went to the countryside to awaken his martial spirit. He went there with only six stones, but here there are six stone pillars.

Ning Qiuyang was preoccupied with all sorts of random thoughts and barely heard a word of Ning Fengzhi's motivational speech.

That's right, Ning Qiuyang is a time traveler.

He has been in the Douluo Continent for six years, and today is finally the day his martial soul awakens.

Suddenly, Ning Qiuyang heard Ning Fengzhi say, "Alright, the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony officially begins."

Ning Qiuyang immediately perked up.

Although they became disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, their martial soul was destined to be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. However, even with the same martial soul, different innate soul power would lead to significant differences in their future achievements.

Thinking about it, I still feel a bit uneasy. I finally got to transmigrate once, but my martial soul is destined to be a support type.

Without any means of self-protection, I always feel a little panicked.

After all, Douluo Continent is not a peaceful place. Take the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, for example. It is one of the three great sects. In a few years, it will face the crisis of being wiped out.

Moreover, if I become a support-type Soul Master, it will be harder to win over the sect leader's beautiful young lady.

After all, according to the rules of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, support-type disciples must marry battle spirit masters.

Just as he was thinking about these things, Ning Fengzhi spoke again.

"Ning Rongrong, come up here and awaken your martial soul first."

Ning Rongrong, who was as beautiful as a porcelain doll, gave Ning Fengzhi a big smile and skipped and hopped onto the stone platform.

At this moment, two Title Douluos from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School stepped forward together.

"Sect Master, let me awaken the martial soul for our little princess," Chen Xin said with a kind smile.

Gu Rong snorted.

"Why should you be the one to awaken Rongrong's martial soul? Rongrong only has one chance to awaken her martial soul. Why should you be the one to do it?"

"Hey, you old bones, do you want to spar with me?"

"Let's practice, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

According to tradition, the sect leader has always presided over the awakening ceremony for the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

If someone else had awakened their martial soul, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo wouldn't have taken Ning Fengzhi's job.

But who can blame them when it's the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who's about to awaken her martial soul? Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo love Ning Rongrong even more than Ning Fengzhi does.

They all wanted to take charge of such a major event as awakening their martial spirit themselves.

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting at the slightest disagreement, Ning Fengzhi felt somewhat helpless.

If it were anything else, these two would listen to him.

However, when it comes to Ning Rongrong, these two are absolutely unwilling to budge an inch.

Finally, Ning Fengzhi came up with a good idea. "Rongrong, which grandfather do you want to help you awaken your martial soul?"

Ning Rongrong wrinkled her nose.

That stinky dad, not wanting to offend his two grandfathers, dumped the blame on his "good daughter."

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo both looked at Ning Rongrong with anticipation.

"Choose me, Rongrong. Grandpa Jian is the best to you, isn't he?"

"Old Ghost Sword, it's clear that I'm the one who treats Rongrong the best, don't talk nonsense."

"Hey……"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes.

"Grandpas, I'm all alone and can't be split in two. How about I call my best friend up here, and you two can each awaken one?"

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong waved to Ning Qiuyang below the stage.

"Qiuyang, hurry up and come up. Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone are going to help us awaken our martial souls."

Immediately, everyone looked at Ning Qiuyang.

Ning Qiuyang felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at.

Goodness, we're good friends in private, but don't drag me into this life-or-death situation.

But there was no way around it; they'd already called it out, so I couldn't just hide.

Gu Rong and Chen Xin looked at Ning Qiuyang with disdain, thinking, "This brat? Why is he our little princess's best friend?"

Ning Fengzhi came to Ning Qiuyang's rescue, saying, "This child is named Ning Qiuyang. He is a direct disciple of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. His parents died in battle for the sect shortly after his birth. This child has always been very sensible."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has many disciples, but Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader, is knowledgeable about everything, big and small.

Even Ning Qiuyang, a six-year-old child, has some understanding of him.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong were not bad people, and they had no ill intentions towards Ning Qiuyang.

Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi say that Ning Qiuyang's parents had died in battle, he stopped finding fault with Ning Qiuyang.

But they did not let Ning Rongrong, a key figure, go.

Even if you bring your best friend up, who will help you awaken, and who will help him awaken?

Ning Rongrong was so anxious she was almost sweating, and she quickly tugged at Ning Qiuyang's sleeve.

"Ning Qiuyang, what do you think?"

Ning Qiuyang was speechless. Was I your best friend or your biggest enemy? How could you do this to me?

Ning Qiuyang is only six years old, yet he has to face the death stares of two Title Douluos. What has he done to deserve this?

"How about... how about we decide by rock-paper-scissors?"

Ning Rongrong clapped her hands excitedly and said, "This is a great idea! Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, you two play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever wins will awaken my martial soul, and the loser will help Ning Qiuyang awaken his martial soul."

"Alright, old man, let's settle this in one round."

"Sure, but don't deny it if you lose."

And so, the two titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School played rock-paper-scissors in front of a group of children.

In the final episode, Sword Douluo Chen Xin proved superior and emerged victorious.

"No, we should go for best two out of three."

Bone Douluo then put on a show of being a scoundrel.

"Hey, you old bones, you're so old and you still won't admit defeat after losing. Rongrong, you be the judge."

This time, Ning Rongrong didn't try to shift the blame to Ning Qiuyang.

"I'll honor my bet. I want Grandpa Sword to help me awaken my powers. Grandpa Bone, please help Ning Qiuyang awaken his powers."

Bone Douluo suddenly seemed to have lost all his energy and spirit, and glanced at Ning Qiuyang listlessly.

"Kid, I'll help you awaken your martial soul."
