Douluo Dalu: Abandoned, I Awaken the Nine Hells Soul-Suppressing Pagoda

Other people transmigrate as overpowered heroes from the start. Ning Buhui got the hellish difficulty setting.

In his previous life, he was an archaeologist who got himself buried in a tomb. In this life, he was born as a byproduct of a power struggle within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He lost his parents at four, and by six he was so hungry that he went to Spirit Hall to beg for an awakening.

The good news: His Martial Soul is special, and he has Innate Full Soul Power.

The bad news: He has no money or power, so he has to rely on himself for everything.

Later, Bibi Dong, the pope of Spirit Hall, took him in as her disciple. Yan, Hu Liena, and Xie Yue of the Golden Generation treated him like one of their own. He became an even more monstrous talent than the Golden Generation.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wants to claim him back? Too late.

But Ning Buhui knows this world isn't so simple. Because a boy named Tang San was born the same year as him. Blue Silver Grass, Clear Sky Hammer, Innate Full Soul Power. The future Shrek Seven Devils, future Sea God, future Asura God.

Ning Buhui's stance: You leave me alone, I'll leave you alone. You mess with me, and I'll smash you.

His Martial Soul is the Nine Prisons Soul-Quelling Pagoda: a tower with two sides, twin Yin and Yang forms, able to support and control, attack and defend. All he wants is to make his own way in this world.

(No romance. He won't go after Tang San unprovoked, but if he's provoked, he'll fight back.)
