Chapter 1: I've Become an Electromagnetic Wave Person?
Starfall City, Lin Family
"Lin Miao, Martial Soul: Thunder Staff, Innate Soul Power: Level 5."
On the viewing platform, the head of the Lin family smiled as he looked at the soul power crystal ball radiating a gentle glow. Below, a steward recorded the soul power level.
Today was the Martial Soul Awakening Day for the Lin family of the Starfall Empire. All Lin children who had reached six years of age were to awaken their martial souls together.
As a family with a lineage of thunder-element martial souls, although pure thunder martial souls had become rare after hundreds of years, most awakenings were still related to lightning. Also, since most members were soul masters, it was rare for someone to awaken without any soul power.
There were only seven six-year-olds this year, and one of them was the current family head's grandson, so the patriarch himself personally presided over the awakening.
Among them, a black-haired, black-eyed boy named Lin Qinghan stood out. Though young, he was strikingly handsome and carried a mature aura beyond his years.
In his previous life, Lin Qinghan had the incredible luck to be reincarnated into this world as a fetus.
At age three, he finally realized he had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, specifically during the Peerless Tang Sect era. As a young child, this revelation almost made him depressed—after all, he had just endured high school and hadn't even started enjoying college life before it ended.
Lin Qinghan dreamed of being like those overpowered protagonists, crushing all enemies and standing atop the Divine Realm. But after three years of living in this world, reality shattered those illusions.
He truly had reincarnated into a real world. His identity was special too—he was the sole direct descendant of the Lin family's main bloodline. Even doing nothing, he could live a wealthy life.
Now that it was nearly his turn, Lin Qinghan silently prayed for a decent talent. After all, what boy hadn't fantasized about becoming the main character in a power fantasy? And given that both his parents were Soul Douluo, his talent likely wouldn't be bad.
"Next, Lin Qinghan, your turn."
Lin Wu, the current patriarch of the Lin family, showed a notably kinder expression when calling his grandson. The awakening array enveloped Lin Qinghan.
"Relax, hold out your hands."
Lin Qinghan complied, and a tingling sensation surged from deep within him to his palms. Moments later, electric currents with constantly shifting colors formed in his hands.
"It's the thunder element! As expected of my grandson! Quickly, test his soul power."
Lin Wu was visibly delighted.
"Okay."
Just as Lin Qinghan responded, a splitting headache struck him, and he clutched his head in pain, nearly crying out.
Seeing this, Lin Wu panicked. "Qinghan, what's wrong? Did something go wrong with the martial soul awakening?"
"I'm fine," Lin Qinghan replied after the headache passed. He now understood what had happened.
He had awakened twin martial souls—Brainwave and Bioelectricity!
Lin Qinghan was overjoyed. A local might not understand the significance, but as someone from 21st-century Earth, his mind immediately raced through countless broken-power martial soul development ideas.
After some hesitation, Lin Qinghan decided to speak up.
"Grandfather, I think I awakened two martial souls... and one of them involves mental power."
He used a more understandable term for this world since "brainwaves" and "bioelectricity" didn't exist in Douluo terms.
Lin Wu sighed in relief. "That's good. Mental power, huh? Probably inherited from your mother's spirit-type martial soul. Twin martial souls! What a pleasant surprise. Let's test your soul power."
Lin Qinghan nodded and placed his hand on the soul power crystal ball, which instantly emitted a dazzling white light.
"Innate Full Soul Power! Our Lin family has produced a peerless genius!"
Lin Wu's face lit up with excitement. He had already decided—Lin Qinghan would receive the family's full support. They might even nurture an Ultimate Douluo!
Without caring about the remaining participants, Lin Wu ordered the steward to continue the awakening ritual. Meanwhile, he personally took Lin Qinghan to the clan's council hall and summoned all the family elders.
Soon, eleven people arrived—every one of them a Soul Douluo, including Lin Qinghan's parents.
"Father, what's going on? Why call a family meeting today?"
Lin Qinghan's father, Lin Tian, was puzzled. He and Lin Qinghan's mother, Jiang Wan, had been busy managing family affairs and didn't even attend their son's awakening.
"It's about Qinghan," Lin Wu explained everything.
After hearing it, Lin Tian excitedly hugged Lin Qinghan and turned to Jiang Wan.
"Honey, I'm so happy! Qinghan didn't let us down!"
Jiang Wan smiled helplessly. "Yes, yes, our Qinghan is amazing. But calm down—everyone's watching."
Though she tried to act composed, her face clearly showed her joy.
After praise from the elders and detailed discussions, a training plan for Lin Qinghan was set. They decided to help him obtain his first spirit ring the next day.
It was already dark when Lin Qinghan finally returned to his room.
"Finally over," he sighed, flopping onto the bed. After a short rest, he sat up excitedly.
"Time to study these two martial souls. This must be my cheat code."
Lin Qinghan summoned his Brainwave martial soul. Immediately, a strong sense of clarity filled him. Even with his eyes closed, he could "see" everything around him. When focusing on an object, it was like an invisible hand formed in the air—he could manipulate it at will.
He then summoned his Bioelectric martial soul. His five senses became incredibly sharp, and he discovered he could use both martial souls simultaneously, an even bigger surprise.
After some experimentation, he found they had powerful synergy. For instance, he could channel his bioelectric martial soul into the brainwave martial soul, granting it not only electric properties but even tactile feedback!
"Whoa—mental detection plus telekinesis? This feels like a field domain... I'll call it the Mental Field!"
Lin Qinghan was beyond thrilled, already imagining the overpowered future that awaited him.

Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm — Sea God Palace
Tang San, the Sea God, stood on the terrace of the grand hall, gazing into the distance. In his eyes, a once brilliant purple fate star streaked across the lines of destiny—but then, disrupted by a magnetic-like interference, it vanished into chaos.
"What's going on? Why has the fate line of the Douluo Plane turned to chaos? Still, I've foreseen everything—this won't affect my plans."
A mysterious purple light flickered in Tang San's eyes.
"Xiao Qi, it's time for
you to descend."
