Chapter 1: Kidnapped just after awakening

Zhou Ke originally thought that traveling to Douluo Continent without the golden finger, a place where everything depends entirely on blood, was already enough to make him anxious all the time.

This symptom of developing towards paranoia undoubtedly reached its peak the moment he awakened the Blue Silver Grass.

As a time traveler from Blue Star who once wrote Douluo fan fiction, he knew the rules of this world very well. Without a powerful martial spirit, there would be no future.

Even if this world is a fantasy world, it still relies entirely on strength. If you awaken a useless martial spirit and have no background, then you will most likely be able to only be a servant.

Even though he had envisioned the beginning of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit in his future planning over the past six years, when he actually faced this sky-shattering beginning and looked at the light blue grass emerging from his palm, his brain inevitably went into a state of shutdown.

Just when he sorted out his thoughts and began to pray that he would not be the damn zero soul power.

Just as he stretched out his hand to place it on the crystal ball held by the old butler, a loud explosion was heard behind him and the tightly closed door was violently broken open.

Zhou Ke only felt his eardrum explode, and a violent buzzing sound exploded in his skull, which directly made him lose the ability to think. A warm liquid flowed out of his nasal cavity.

His senses had become extremely dull, but he could vaguely hear the old butler's shouts, as well as the subsequent cries of pain and scolding.

When he recovered from his dizziness, he realized that he was being held by a strong and powerful arm.

The rapidly changing scene and the rapid breathing and whistling wind in his ears made Zhou Ke immediately understand his situation.

Kidnapped!

This thing that existed only in hearsay in the previous life, now happened to him without any preparation, and it was a house break-in in broad daylight.

Although he had a certain psychological expectation of the dangers of this fantasy world where the strong prey on the weak, his self-awareness was once again refreshed.

Regardless of his delicate face that was hurt by the strong wind and his aching eardrums, Zhou Ke's brain started working rapidly.

After all, he is not a six-year-old child. Even if he was not a soldier or a killer in his previous life, he still has the ability to stay calm and think about problems.

After yelling at himself to calm down a few times, he carefully thought about the abilities he currently possessed that could provide a way out of the impasse.

These included the not-so-strong soul power that had not yet been tested but could already be vaguely felt, the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, the two sword techniques practiced with the old butler, and the theoretical use of the soul guide ray gun.

But he didn't have the Level 1 Soul Guide Ray Gun and the Steel Dagger, two things he rarely put down, on him at this moment. Because before he awakened his martial soul, he couldn't sense the location of his soul power, so he couldn't use the storage soul guide at all.

Storage soul guide?
Zhou Ke suddenly had an idea and thought of the bracelet under his sleeve. As the current heir of the Viscount's Mansion, the old housekeeper told him that this bracelet, which looked ordinary and like an ordinary metal product, was actually a storage soul guide, which contained the family's true inheritance.

Based on his understanding over the years and the old butler's repeated boasting, Zhou Ke knew that his cheap great-great-grandfather in this life was a Titled Douluo. Although he did not find out what the title was, according to the old butler, he was once a famous figure.

Even if there is some water in this, the Titled Douluo is undoubtedly the top figure standing on the Douluo Continent, and the things passed down cannot be some vulgar things.

The strong desire to survive made Zhou Ke's mind extremely tense, and he began to try to mobilize his newly awakened soul power.

Perhaps thanks to the time traveler's powerful mental strength, the warm current in his body immediately began to move.

He could feel that the process was a bit difficult, but it was indeed flowing along his left arm and into the soul guide.

As time passed, Zhou Ke suddenly lost his sense of soul power, and a strange feeling of emptiness spread through his body.

As his heart trembled, he immediately realized that his pitiful soul power had been exhausted.

But the storage soul guide did not react at all. Logically speaking, as one of the most popular soul guides, the storage soul guide should not have too high requirements on soul power.

Could it be that his soul power is too weak, just like Huo Yuhao, the son of destiny at this point in time in Douluo Continent, who has an innate level one soul power?
The feeling of despair gradually spread in his heart. No one could accept the situation where their life and death were controlled by others, let alone Zhou Ke, a guy who had lived in peace for a long time.

Negotiation breakdown, murder, torture, tragic death. As a former member of the information age, his associative ability is very strong, and various situations in the kidnapping case played out in his mind one after another.

The whistling wind suddenly stopped, and the heavy breathing and the sound of heavy objects falling indicated that these people had stopped.

There is no doubt that these kidnappers are all soul masters. Due to the inhuman speed just now, Zhou Ke was unable to keep his eyes open for a long time. At this moment, he did not care about the tears that could not be stopped and began to observe the surrounding environment.

The blurry eyes due to tears and the dim light in the room only allowed him to see two people in tight clothes sitting on the ground. He couldn't make out their appearance or other features at all.

At this time, one of them took two breaths and said, "Second brother, can the boss really escape from that old guy? I saw that the old guy has a black ten thousand year soul ring."

A muffled voice sounded from above Zhou Ke's head: "With this little thing here, even if the boss is caught, he won't dare to do anything. Go find the mouse right away and ask him to pass the letter to the Viscount's Mansion to avoid any more trouble."

The man responded immediately, and then asked, "Second brother, where are we going after this mission is completed? The armies of Tianhun and Douling have already recorded us."

"If that gentleman keeps his promise, we can have some peace for a while. Besides, even if the truth is revealed, the worst that can happen is that we can just hide in a trading area near the Soul Beast Forest for a while.

Besides, isn't there the Sun and Moon Empire? We are soul masters, so where are we not welcome? "Although the voice of the sturdy man who had been holding Zhou Ke was a little silly, he spoke very logically. And based on their unscrupulous conversation, it can be inferred that they are already familiar with such kidnapping and extortion.

But what no one noticed was that his eyes fluctuated a little when he said these words.

Suddenly, the one who had been silent among the three suddenly pointed at the strong man's waist. That was Zhou Ke and said, "Second brother, this little thing seems to have a problem."

His martial soul is a nocturnal soul beast, so even in a dim environment, his powerful eyesight is not affected at all.

The sturdy man quickly lifted Zhou Ke up, and while taking a closer look, he put his hand under his nose. After feeling the breath, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "He must have been scared to death."

After saying that, he took out a rope woven from some thin threads and threw it together with Zhou Ke to the person who had just asked the question.

The man took it and said, "Second brother, you are still as cautious as ever, but can I wait until he wakes up before tying him up?"

The man they called Second Brother did not respond, but just sat cross-legged to recover his spiritual power.

"You really have a bad taste. You always have to resort to tricks when you are sober."

"We are all in this business, is there any need to blame each other?"

The two of them started arguing in low voices, and after a while, with the creaking sound of the door opening, the only sounds left in the room were two long breaths.

Is Zhou Ke pretending to be dizzy?

No, at this moment his consciousness came to a pure white space, with star-like lights flickering, blurring his vision.

He felt very strange at this moment. All the senses of his original body were silent, and replaced by a very idealistic sense.

The feeling of being omnipotent and yet being unable to accomplish many things due to lack of strength was like a cat's paw scratching his heart.

The next moment, an illusory figure of a young man appeared in this empty space.

This was the phantom he had created. There was nothing special about it. He just felt more accustomed to it. As a time traveler, he could naturally tell where this place was.

Probably due to his identity as a time traveler, his mental power is far stronger than that of his peers, so he was able to open up the sea of ​​​​spirituality.

Although it was just a pool of water that could be easily seen without moving the line of sight, compared to the fact that Huo Yuhao, whose martial soul had spiritual attributes, was unable to open up the sea of ​​spirit at the age of eleven in the original novel, it can be inferred that the strength of his spiritual power at this time.

But at this moment, what attracted his attention more was the magical light hanging in the air above the pool.

As Zhou Ke looked over, a message was transmitted to his consciousness.

Superdimensional light!

Its name is Super-Dimensional Light, which comes from a trace of the higher-dimensional world compared to the world of "Douluo Continent" before Zhou Ke crossed over.

In simple terms, the power of higher dimensions is like a wishing machine in the world of lower dimensions. It can realize all your ideas, no matter how absurd or illogical they are, it can realize them for you.

Just like the pen in the author's hand, as long as he wants, he can create and conceive a world at will.

It's a pity that the high-dimensional power that Zhou Ke possessed had been completely stripped away during his journey, leaving only this trace from the high-dimensional world. It did not have the incredible power of the wishing machine at all.

But it is ultimately a power that comes from a higher dimension. In a sense, the entire Douluo Continent world combined cannot compare to it in terms of status.

Therefore, even if it has been weakened countless times, it still possesses extremely powerful capabilities.

It cannot create something out of nothing, but it can push Zhou Ke forward on the basis of the original foundation.

That is to say, with Zhou Ke's second-level soul power, without external objects, it is impossible for him to become a tenth-level soul warrior in one step.

But when Zhou Ke reached the peak level of ninth-level soul power, he could ignore most obstacles and break through to level ten.

This ability may not be very useful in the beginning, but as the level increases, it will become something that countless people who have been trapped at a certain level all their lives will desire.

In addition, although it cannot attach a spirit ring out of thin air, it can enable Zhou Ke to have the ability to absorb spirit rings of higher levels, and can even adjust the spirit skills he can obtain to a certain extent.

This is just the ability Zhou Ke has temporarily figured out after sorting out the information.

But even if he didn't become a Buddha in one thought, the function of the 999-level sword, the series of effects it gave him, such as perfectly utilizing everything he has, breaking through bottlenecks, optimizing capabilities, etc., were enough to rekindle the fighting spirit of Zhou Ke, who was just desperate and terrified.
