Douluo: Shadow Sovereign

(Victor's POV)

Hi, everyone! My name is Victor. I know you might not believe me, but I have reincarnated into Douluo Dalu during Tang San's era.

How do I know this? Because in the neighboring village, there's a three-year-old boy named Tang San, and his father is none other than the infamous drunkard blacksmith, Tang Hao.

Now, you might ask, "How did you reincarnate?" Did I meet some ROB (Random Omnipotent Being)? Hell no! No truck-kun, no mysterious god, nothing! Then how did I end up here? Simple. I answered a forum post.

I know, I know—it sounds like a classic Chinese novel trope, but that's exactly what happened. The weirdest part? I have no idea how I died or what I even chose as my martial soul in that forum. Everything is a mystery…

But not for long. Because today, my martial soul is going to be awakened by none other than the famous "blind" Douluo, the ever-famous Su Yuntao, a Spirit Hall deacon.

But before that, let's do a quick retrospection (a.k.a flashback).

(Flashback...)

My name is Victor, but after awakening in this world, my name is Mo Ling. Sounds like a proper Chinese name, right? Well, it's the truth.

And just like every other reincarnation scenario—I'm an orphan. Classic, right? But yeah, that's my reality.

I currently live in Clear Spring Village, a small settlement located a few kilometers away from Holy Spirit Village, the very place where Tang San was born. Classic plot? Yeah, I thought the same.

I'm three years old now, and I live with the village head, who adopted me and gave me his family name. His name? Mo Dong.

About My Grandpa Mo DongSoul Master (Rank 7) – Not impressive, but still a spirit master.Martial Spirit: Apple 🍎 – Yeah, a food-type martial spirit.Personality: Classic good-hearted grandpa, always looking out for me.

He was the one who raised me since birth, and we've developed a deep bond. As for my parents? I have no idea who they are, and neither does he.

Where did he find me? You've probably guessed it already.Yep. He found me in a basket at his doorstep. Classic orphan cliché.

The Past Two Years…

What have I done in my past two years?

Nothing.

Seriously, for the first year, I did nothing except eat, sleep, and poop—and trust me, I couldn't even control that. It was humiliating.

By the time I turned one, I started crawling.By two, I started walking.By three, I started learning the language and saying my first words.

Even now, at three years old, I'm still learning the language of this continent. But how did I confirm that this is Douluo Dalu?

Simple:

I saw Grandpa Mo Dong using his martial spirit.I saw the "blind" Douluo, Su Yuntao, awakening martial spirits in my village.During my third year, we heard the shocking news that Spirit Hall's Pope was killed by Tang Hao.

That's all the proof I needed. This is definitely Douluo Dalu.

(Time Skip – Now, I'm Five Years Old)

For the past year, I've been trying the classic Saitama workout routine. But… reality hit me hard.

At first? I couldn't even do a single push-up.But day by day, I improved.

Now, at five years old, my progress is:✅ 50 push-ups✅ 50 sit-ups✅ 50 pull-ups✅ 5 km run

I know I'll complete the full Saitama workout within a year, but there's a problem… diet.

I only get to eat meat once a week, but Grandpa always gives me apples for breakfast and lunch. Since they're made with soul power, they help me recover from fatigue and give me extra energy. Not bad, right?

What's Next?

With my martial soul awakening just around the corner, I'll finally learn what fate has in store for me…

Will I get a broken ability?Or will I get something useless?

Whatever happens, one thing is certain—I refuse to be weak in this world.
