离开演武场，苏莫直接回到了自己的小院。
After leaving the martial arts field, Su Mo returned directly to his small courtyard.
坐在院中的石凳上，想到之前的武魂觉醒，苏莫一阵郁闷。
Sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, Su Mo felt depressed for a while thinking of the previous awakening of his martial soul.
觉醒出这么低阶的武魂，也完全出乎了他自己的预料。
The awakening of such a low-level martial spirit was completely beyond his own expectations.
“十四年了！”苏莫思绪飘荡，呢喃自语。
“Fourteen years!” Su Mo’s thoughts drifted and he muttered to himself.
其实，苏莫原本并不属于这个世界，他来自地球。
In fact, Su Mo did not belong to this world originally, he came from the earth.
苏莫是二十一世纪的一名佣兵，确切的说是一名佣兵之王，雇佣兵界的神话，一代传奇枭雄。
Su Mo is a mercenary in the 21st century. To be precise, he is the king of mercenaries, the myth of the mercenary world, and a legendary hero.
他是一名孤儿，从小寄居在亲戚家中，十七岁时毅然辍学前去参军。
He was an orphan who lived with relatives since he was a child. At the age of seventeen, he decided to drop out of school to join the army.
在部队锻炼了两年，苏莫凭借优秀的军事素养，进入了华夏最强的一支特种部队，很快，他便成为了这支特种部队的王牌。
After two years of training in the army, Su Mo entered the strongest special force in China with his excellent military literacy. Soon, he became the ace of this special force.
四年时间，苏莫执行了近百次国家的军事任务，全部圆满完成。
In the past four years, Su Mo has performed nearly 100 national military missions, all of which have been successfully completed.
本来，苏莫准备将一生都献给国家、献给部队，不料，一次意外让他提前退役，黯然离开了部队。
Originally, Su Mo planned to dedicate his life to the country and the army, but unexpectedly, an accident caused him to retire early and sadly left the army.
回到地方的苏莫，完全与社会脱节，根本找不到工作，他没有学历、没有技术、没有人脉，是彻底的三无人员。
After returning to the local area, Su Mo was completely out of touch with society and could not find a job at all. He had no education, no skills, and no connections.
浑浑噩噩了半年，苏莫终于决定，再次踏上征程。
After half a year of confusion, Su Mo finally decided to embark on the journey again.
他联系了几名曾经的战友，组成了一个叫‘龙魂’的小佣兵组织。
He contacted several former comrades and formed a small mercenary organization called “Dragon Soul”.
随后的几年时间，苏莫和他的龙魂佣兵团，脚步遍布世界各地。
In the following years, Su Mo and his Dragon Soul mercenary group traveled all over the world.
非洲、中东、东欧、东南亚，哪里有战争，哪里便有他们的身影。
Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, wherever there is war, they are there.
龙魂佣兵团，迅速发展壮大，从最初的几个人，发展到几十人、几百人，最后人数达到数千人。
The Dragon Soul mercenary group has grown rapidly, from a few people at first, to dozens, hundreds of people, and finally to thousands of people.
龙魂佣兵团从一个籍籍无名的小佣兵组织，成长为了一支威震黑暗世界的强大雇佣军。
The Dragon Soul Mercenary Group has grown from an unknown small mercenary organization to a powerful mercenary force that shakes the dark world.
龙魂雇佣军从来没有完不成的任务，只要雇主出的起价钱，小到暗杀某人，大到摧毁一个小国的政府军，推翻一国政府，简直无所不能。
The Dragon Soul mercenaries have never been able to complete their tasks. As long as the employer pays the price, it can be as small as assassinating someone, as large as destroying the government army of a small country, or overthrowing the government of a country.
一年前，龙魂雇佣军更是打败了，被称为世界第一的黑血雇佣军，成为了佣兵世界新的王者。
A year ago, the Dragon Soul mercenary army was even more defeated, known as the world’s No. 1 black blood mercenary army, and became the new king of the mercenary world.
而作为龙魂雇佣军的首领，龙枭苏莫，更是被人称为佣兵之王。
As the leader of the Dragon Soul mercenary army, Long Xiao Su Mo is also known as the king of mercenaries.
可以说，苏莫之名乃是黑暗世界的禁忌，他跺一跺脚，黑暗世界都要为之颤抖。
It can be said that the name of Su Mo is a taboo in the dark world. When he stomps, the dark world will tremble for it.
但是，常在河边走，哪能不湿鞋，最终苏莫还是栽了，彻底的栽了！
However, if you often walk by the river, how can you not wet your shoes. In the end, Su Mo is still planted, completely planted!
他被自己最信任的兄弟出卖，深陷重围，最后和敌人同归于尽。
He was betrayed by his most trusted brother, trapped in a siege, and finally perished with the enemy.
来到这个世界十四年了，苏莫早已经适应了这里的一切，对于前世的种种，他都已经快要忘记了。
It has been fourteen years since he came to this world, and Su Mo has already adapted to everything here. He has almost forgotten all about the past life.
对于这个世界，苏莫非常好奇，这是一个神奇的世界，与地球完全迥异。
Su Mo is very curious about this world. This is a magical world, completely different from Earth.
这片大地名为苍穹大陆，辽阔无尽，方圆不知多少万里。
This piece of land is called the Sky Continent.
这里武道为尊，弱肉强食，强者如君王，受人尊崇；弱者如蝼蚁，受人欺凌。
Here, martial arts are respected, the weak eat the strong, the strong are like kings and are respected by others; the weak are like ants, bullied by others.
武道，修炼到极致，便能翻江倒海、上天入地、遨游太虚，拥有通天彻地的大本领。
Martial arts, if you practice it to the extreme, you can overturn rivers and seas, go to the sky and enter the earth, travel in the sky, and have the great ability to penetrate the sky and the earth.
权势、地位、金钱、美色，一切的一切都与武道息息相关，强者唾手可得。
Power, status, money, beauty, everything is closely related to martial arts, and the strong can get it at their fingertips.
而想要成为一名强大的武者，唯有觉醒自身武魂，通过武魂才能沟通天地，吸纳灵气，淬炼肉身，凝炼真气。
And if you want to become a powerful warrior, you can only awaken your own martial arts, through which you can communicate with the world, absorb spiritual energy, temper your physical body, and condense your true energy.
武魂种类繁多，数不胜数。
There are many kinds of martial arts, countless.
不同的武魂，自然也有强弱之分，均是分为天、地、人三大等级，每一个等级划分为九个品阶。
Different martial spirits are naturally divided into strengths and weaknesses. They are divided into three levels: heaven, earth, and human. Each level is divided into nine grades.
武魂的等级越高，武者的实力与潜力越强，修炼的速度也越快。
The higher the level of the martial spirit, the stronger the strength and potential of the martial artist, and the faster the training speed.
来到这个世界，苏莫自从开始修炼之后，一直非常努力。
Coming to this world, Su Mo has been working very hard since he started to practice.
因为，这个世界这么大、这么精彩，他想去看看。
Because the world is so big and so wonderful, he wants to see it.
前一世，他是强者，威震全球。
In his previous life, he was a strong man who shook the world.
这一世，他依旧要做强者，站在这个大陆的巅峰。
In this life, he will still be a strong man, standing at the pinnacle of this continent.
可是今日的武魂觉醒，给他躁动的心，浇了一盆凉水。
But today’s martial soul awakening poured cold water on his restless heart.
愿望是美好的，现实却是无比残酷的！
Wishes are beautiful, but reality is extremely cruel!
“莫儿。”
“Moer.”
这时，门口响起一道浑厚的声音，将苏莫飘飞的思绪拉了回来。
At this moment, a thick voice sounded from the door, pulling Su Mo’s thoughts back.
来人是一位中年人，身材高大，面容肃穆，正是苏家家主苏洪。
The person who came was a middle-aged man with a tall stature and a solemn face. It was Su Hong, the head of the Su family.
“莫儿，武魂的事你就不要多想了，就算武魂等级不高，只要你努力修炼，他日也有机会成为强者。
“Mo’er, don’t think too much about the martial spirit. Even if the martial spirit level is not high, as long as you practice hard, you will have the opportunity to become a strong one in the future.
苏洪见到苏莫，开口安慰道。
When Su Hong saw Su Mo, he comforted him.
苏莫露出一丝苦笑，何止是等级不高？简直是低的不能再低了！
Su Mo showed a wry smile, what’s more than a low level? It’s just too low, it can’t be any lower!
“父亲，你放心吧，我会努力的！”苏莫强挤出一丝笑容，道。
“Father, don’t worry, I will work hard!” Su Moqiang said with a smile.
他知道父亲是在安慰他。
He knew his father was comforting him.
众所周知，武魂的等级，决定了一个人的未来成就，武魂等级越高，武道之路走得越远。
As we all know, the level of martial arts determines a person’s future achievements. The higher the level of martial arts, the further the road of martial arts.
这是这个世界的铁律。
This is the iron law of the world.
凭借人级一阶武魂，想成为强者，几乎是不可能的事情。
With a human-level first-order martial spirit, it is almost impossible to become a strong person.
“嗯。”
“Hmm.”
苏洪点了点头，从怀中掏出了一个玉瓶，递给苏莫，说道：“这是一枚凝气丹，服用之后可以让你突破修为，达到炼气境。”
Su Hong nodded, took out a jade bottle from his arms, handed it to Su Mo, and said, “This is a Qi condensing pill. After taking it, you can break through your cultivation and reach the Qi refining realm.”
“父亲……”
“Father…”
苏莫心中发酸，他觉醒出人级一阶武魂，可以说从今以后就是个修炼废材。
Su Mo felt sour in his heart. He had awakened a human-level first-order martial spirit. It can be said that he will be a waste of cultivation from now on.
凝气丹价值千金，家族是不可能给他这么珍贵的丹药，唯一的解释，就是苏洪自己购买的。
Qi Condensing Pill is worth thousands of gold, and it is impossible for the family to give him such a precious medicinal pill. The only explanation is that Su Hong bought it himself.
苏莫收下了丹药，之后父子俩又聊了片刻，苏洪便离开了。
Su Mo accepted the medicinal pill, and after the father and son chatted for a while, Su Hong left.
“不知道我觉醒的到底是什么武魂？”
“I don’t know what martial spirit I awakened?”
父亲走后，苏莫没有急着服用丹药，在房间盘膝而出，释放出了自己的武魂。
After his father left, Su Mo was not in a hurry to take the medicine pill, but came out of the room cross-legged and released his martial spirit.
一个漆黑的漩涡，闪烁着一圈黄色的光环，静静的悬浮在苏莫的上方。
A pitch-black vortex, flickering with a yellow halo, silently hovered above Su Mo.
“这武魂不知有什么特殊能力？还是先用它修炼一番再说~IndoMTL.com~苏莫静下心来，心神沟通武魂，感应天地灵气。
“I don’t know what special ability does this martial spirit have? Let’s use it to practice first and then talk about it~IndoMTL.com~Su Mo calmed down, communicated with the martial spirit, and sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
漆黑的漩涡武魂缓缓旋转，漩涡之中传出一股极强的吸力。
The pitch-black vortex martial spirit slowly rotated, and a strong suction force came out of the vortex.
天地间一缕缕灵气，向苏莫汇聚而来，进入他的体内。
A wisp of spiritual energy between the heavens and the earth gathered towards Su Mo and entered his body.
苏莫很快沉入了修炼之中，催动武魂，不断的吸收着灵气。
Su Mo quickly sank into cultivation, mobilizing his martial soul, and constantly absorbing spiritual energy.
良久，苏莫停止了修炼。
After a long time, Su Mo stopped cultivating.
苏莫睁开双眼，眸中闪过一丝惊喜。
Su Mo opened his eyes, a surprise flashed in his eyes.
“我这武魂虽然只是人级一阶，但堪比别人人级二阶的修炼速度。”
“Although my martial spirit is only human-level first-order, it is comparable to other people’s human-level second-order cultivation speed.”
苏莫见识过拥有人级二阶武魂的武者修炼，并不比他的武魂强多少。
Su Mo has seen the cultivation of warriors with second-order human-level martial arts, and they are not much stronger than his martial arts.
这也算是意外的惊喜，让他心中安慰了不少。
This was also an unexpected surprise, which comforted him a lot.
苏莫略一思索，便心中明了，这可能和他武魂的特性有关。
After Su Mo thought for a while, he realized that this might have something to do with the characteristics of his martial spirit.
这武魂是一个漩涡装，漩涡本身便拥有吞吸的特性。
This martial spirit is a vortex outfit, and the vortex itself has the characteristic of swallowing.
因此，吸收灵气的速度，媲美人级二阶武魂也不奇怪了。
Therefore, it is not surprising that the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is comparable to that of a human-level second-order martial spirit.
接下来，苏莫取出了父亲给他的凝气丹，准备晋升炼气境。
Next, Su Mo took out the Qi Condensing Pill that his father gave him, ready to be promoted to Qi Refining Realm.
武道一途，首先是淬体，完成九重淬体之后，便能觉醒武魂，吸收天地灵气，凝炼真气，跨入炼气境。
In the course of martial arts, the first step is to quench the body. After completing the nine-layer quenching, one can awaken the martial spirit, absorb the spiritual energy of the world, condense the true energy, and enter the Qi refining realm.
只有进入炼气境，才能算是一个真正的武者。
Only when you enter the Qi Refining Realm can you be considered a true martial artist.
苏莫服下凝气丹，凝气丹澎湃的药力，顿时在他体内爆发。
Su Mo took the Qi Condensing Pill, and the surging medicinal power of the Qi Condensing Pill burst out in his body.
苏莫急忙引导药力进入丹田，开始凝炼真气。
Su Mo hurriedly guided the medicinal power into his dantian and began to condense his true qi.
时间缓缓流逝，两个时辰后，苏莫双目陡然睁开，眸中精芒一闪而逝。
Time passed slowly, and after two hours, Su Mo’s eyes suddenly opened, and the light in his eyes flashed away.
此时，他的丹田之中，已经凝聚出一团雾装的真气。
At this time, in his dantian, a cloud of infuriating qi had already condensed.
不愧是价值千金的凝气丹，成功的让他踏入了炼气境一重。
Worthy of being a valuable qi condensing pill, he successfully entered the first level of Qi refining.
