Dragon Soul Awakening: the Road to Immortality Begins at the Vegetable Market

Chen Fan never thought that his fish-killing hands, used for scraping scales, disembowelling and deboning fish, would one day be used to dissect gods. In the hustle and bustle of the Chengdong vegetable market, he is the most inconspicuous one. An old knife that has been used for ten years and a fishy smell that cannot be washed away form the entirety of his life. He was content with this ordinary life, until a "deep-sea giant" dragged ashore broke the tranquility. That thing didn't look like a fish, but more like a nightmare made up of countless resentful souls and flesh and blood. When everyone was unable to avoid it, only Chen Ping heard a hungry melody from ancient times in the body of the deformed monster that only he could hear. Somehow, he tightened his grip on the knife. What the blade cuts is not flesh and blood, but the curtain between reality and madness. The true texture of the world - cold, slimy, full of indescribable crawling and longing - flowed along the blade and poured into his soul. He awakened and became a "salary" who controlled the forbidden power. Only then did he realize that the city under his feet was just a fragile eggshell of "surface reality", and beneath the eggshell, a chaotic dimension called the "turbid sea" was constantly seeping out, polluting everything. The mutated creatures he regarded as "food" were the vanguard of this cosmic disaster. His skill of "cooking the ox and undressing the ox" turned out to be the only way to fight against this force. Every swing of the sword is a purification and plunder. He can accurately "pick" pure energy from the most frenzied flesh and blood.
