Douluo Dalu 1: The Tang Family Rebel

After understanding the characteristics of his martial soul, Yun Chuan no longer minded that it couldn't generate soul skills. After all, the Supreme Clear Sky Hammer inherently possessed four elemental attributes. As long as he carefully explored and developed it in the future, he might be able to create unique soul skills.

Techniques like Light Speed Punch, Heavenly Thunder Strike, or Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu might actually be achievable with proper refinement.

Given this perspective, having no soul skills seemed like a minor issue. Instead, the hammer's inherent power and attributes would continue to grow with the addition of soul rings, which was undoubtedly a blessing!

However, Yun Chuan still faced one major hurdle—he couldn't lift the hammer. Without the ability to wield it, a tool-type martial soul would be meaningless.

The pressing question now was: how could he lift the hammer?

This practical challenge loomed before him. Although Yun Chuan could utilize the four elemental powers attached to the hammer, he felt that these powers were secondary. The hammer itself was the ultimate weapon!

Imagine the catastrophic damage it could cause if he could swing a hammer that created earthquake-like tremors just by touching the ground!

Later on...

To further investigate, Bibi Dong and the two Title Douluo (Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo) took Yun Chuan to hunt another soul beast—a 30,000-year-old one. They wanted to see if absorbing the second soul ring would bring any changes.

Unfortunately, while the Supreme Clear Sky Hammer did become more powerful after absorbing the second soul ring—with more dazzling effects of light, lightning, and fire—it also became heavier!

It was already impossible to lift before, and now it was utterly unmanageable.

Even the experienced trio of Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo were at a loss. They had never encountered such a peculiar martial soul. They finally decided to hold off on adding more soul rings for now and return to the drawing board. After all, Yun Chuan was only six years old. With his incredible potential, there was no harm in taking it slow.

Back at the Spirit Hall, in the Pope's chambers:

At six years old, Yun Chuan still shared a bed with Bibi Dong, enjoying the warmth and comfort of her embrace as he drifted off to sleep. His current life was the epitome of happiness!

At this moment, the room was quiet. Bibi Dong had gone out for some unknown matter and would not return soon.

"Open the attribute panel!" Yun Chuan murmured internally.

Suddenly, a futuristic screen appeared before him, displaying his current attributes.

Attribute Panel:

Name: Yun Chuan

Charm: 100 (MAX! Your charm transcends racial boundaries. To all beings, you are the most dazzling existence. Across the multiverse, your charm ranks among the elite.)

Comprehension: 24+ (After the tempering of reincarnation, your comprehension may not compare to the geniuses of higher realms, but in this low-tier world, it places you among the top elite.)

Root Bone: 60+ (Inherited from superior parental bloodlines, and with attribute points enhancing it beyond the limits of mortals, your root bone is unparalleled. Even across multiverses, it qualifies as extraordinary, guaranteeing immense potential!)

Attribute Points: 0 (Precious. Use them wisely!)

New Player Reward: One free draw (This draw has limitless possibilities and may yield anything.)

Current World: Douluo Continent

Worlds Available for Traversal: None (Traversal conditions unmet.)

Yun Chuan's gaze locked onto the "New Player Reward" section offering a free draw.

He felt it was the perfect time to test his luck, given his current predicament.

Why can't I lift the hammer?

Yun Chuan had a theory: his body was too fragile to withstand even the hammer's most basic power. With such a weak physical foundation, lifting the hammer was impossible. He believed that if his physical strength improved, he would be able to wield the weapon effortlessly.

However, in this world, improving physical strength typically involved three options: the martial soul's innate traits, soul rings, or soul bones.

Martial Soul Traits and Soul Rings: These options were ruled out. Adding soul rings only made the Supreme Clear Sky Hammer heavier.

Soul Bones: While soul bones could enhance physical attributes, the improvement was limited. Given that his hammer's weight caused earthquake-like tremors, even a significant boost in strength might not suffice.

About This World:

Yun Chuan found the strength of this world's gods unimpressive. Even after reaching Rank 100, the supposed peak of godhood, the maximum physical strength of a Douluo Continent deity was only about 1 million jin (~500 tons).

While this figure might seem astronomical to ordinary humans, it's equivalent to the output of industrial machinery like hydraulic presses. Essentially, the gods of Douluo Continent were only as strong as high-grade equipment—a clear insult to the concept of divinity!

Yun Chuan's root bone had been enhanced to transcend this world's limits. Scoring 60 out of a maximum of 100 placed him in an entirely different league.

In a low-tier world like Douluo Continent, Yun Chuan's potential was akin to a deity descending to the mortal realm. His martial soul, naturally, followed suit. It couldn't be judged by the same standards as ordinary martial souls.

Perhaps his overwhelming talent had created a mismatch with the world's inherent laws, making it impossible for him to wield his hammer for now. The shallow waters of this realm simply couldn't nourish a creature as extraordinary as him.
