[Douluo I Fanfiction + No System + Single Female Lead: Ning Rongrong + Soul Beast Contracts + Soul Rings That Can Grow + Swordsmanship + Tang San Is Not Villainized]
Wu Tian awakens memories of his past life at the age of six and discovers that his close friend, Tang San, is the very person from those memories. But unlike the person he remembers, Wu Tian has no System or God-Given Soul Rings. All he has is a top-tier Martial Soul, the Heart-Questioning Sword, and Cang Feng, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Swordfang Wolf whose attempt to take human form failed.
In some ruins, Wu Tian accidentally discovers that Soul Rings do not have to be obtained by hunting Soul Beasts. They can instead share the laws of life through a “spirit pact.” Cang Feng survives and forms a pact with him, giving rise to a Soul Ring that can grow, along with its first Soul Skill, “Blade Condensation.”
From then on, Wu Tian takes an unprecedented path. He stops hunting Soul Beasts and instead chooses his companions based on whether they are willing to walk alongside him, living and growing together with them. Soul Beasts are no longer materials. They are partners.
In the forest, he meets Swordfang Wolves, mutated Soul Beasts, and even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. At Shrek, he encounters Ning Rongrong. At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he draws the attention of Sword Douluo Chen Xin. He grows alongside Tang San, yet their paths gradually diverge.
Tang San pursues the ultimate power of the old system, while Wu Tian begins to question the rules themselves: if Soul Rings no longer require death as their price, can this world be rewritten?
When the first Soul Ring obtained without a death appears, when Soul Beasts begin venturing out of the forest of their own accord, and when humans and Soul Beasts coexist for the first time, the order of the entire continent is shaken.
Spirit Hall, the empires, the sects, and even the Divine Realm must all confront one question: does the path of a Soul Master have to be built on slaughter?
Wu Tian does only one thing: he questions his heart, takes up his sword, and opens the way.
If there is no path in this world, he will carve out a new future with his sword.
A very interesting book, looking forward to the follow-up.
Come on, author, come on
