System in Hand

"Dou Qi: None!"

Four large golden characters flashed on the Black Testing Stele, and everyone at the testing ground was dumbfounded, as though they had witnessed something unbelievable.

Dou Qi: None? What kind of situation was this? It was simply unheard of. At this age, even the weakest person would possess Stage One Dou Qi, yet Xiao Han... actually had no Dou Qi at all? Everyone was stunned, looking at Xiao Han as though he were some sort of monster. Was this guy even from Dou Qi Continent? At this moment, no one could even be bothered to mock him. He was utterly and completely Trash—what was there left to ridicule? Feeling the gazes around him, even with Xiao Han's thick skin, his face reddened. He wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it. Damn it, this was too humiliating! "Ahem..." Still, Xiao Han was an outstanding student from the 21st Century, and he also possessed the Omnipotent System, so there was no reason for him to feel inferior. He was merely a little embarrassed.

Xiao Han quickly recovered. Then, calm and composed, he walked down from the platform, confidence still shining in his eyes. After all, he had not even begun cultivating yet. There was no need to rush; he could take it slowly. He was a man with a system.

Just one question: with a system, who did he have to fear?

After stepping down, Xiao Han ignored the contemptuous looks around him and headed straight toward the back of the crowd, where Xiao Yan stood.

Xiao Han walked toward Xiao Yan, his heart filled with excitement. This was the future Flame Emperor, whose name would shake Dou Qi Continent.

In the future, this name would echo through every corner of Dou Qi Continent. Even in the vast and boundless Great Thousand World, the Flame Emperor would possess an illustrious reputation!

According to The Great Ruler: In the Great Thousand World, heroes gathered. The Boundless Fire Territory was ruled by the Flame Emperor, and ten thousand flames burned the heavens! Xiao Han was thrilled that he could actually meet the legendary Flame Emperor in person.

Xiao Han soon arrived before Xiao Yan and studied him carefully. His face was not exceptionally handsome, but it was refined and pleasing to the eye. Most notably, his pair of deep black eyes gave people an unfathomable feeling.

Fortunately, he's not as handsome as me... Xiao Han smugly smiled to himself. He was still quite confident in his looks. In this other world, he was definitely the sort who could drive countless Maidens mad.

"Hello, Xiao Yan. Let's get acquainted. My name is Xiao Han." Xiao Han proactively extended his right hand with a smile. Naturally, he had to make friends with someone so famous.

"I know your name. You have no Dou Qi at all. We're fellow sufferers." Xiao Yan spoke bluntly, but kindly. Though he was the Patriarch's son, he showed no arrogance. Even though Xiao Han was more useless than he was, Xiao Yan had no intention of mocking him.

Xiao Han gave a bitter smile. Fellow sufferers? Then an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

"We are both fallen souls wandering beneath the sky!" Xiao Han suddenly said.

"Why must old friends meet before they can recognize one another?" Xiao Yan froze for a moment before blurting out the next line.

"The heavenly king covers the earth tiger!"

"The pagoda suppresses the river demon!" Xiao Yan stared intently at Xiao Han, surprise visible in his eyes.

"Xiao Yan, strangers in a foreign land—we're truly fellow townsmen! We should support each other from now on!" Xiao Han walked over and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, his face full of emotion while inwardly delighting. The Flame Emperor was his fellow townsman. Just ask, who else had that?

"Mm, meeting a fellow townsman in another world... From now on, we're brothers. We'll share blessings and bear hardships together!" Xiao Yan was somewhat moved, and his hand heavily patted Xiao Han's shoulder as well.

"Good!" Xiao Han replied grandly, in excellent spirits.

"Ding..."

At that moment, the voice of Xiao Rou, the Omnipotent System, rang out. "Congratulations, Master, for establishing a friendly relationship with Xiao Yan, the protagonist of Breaking the Sky. The system rewards you with 10 points!"

Hearing Xiao Rou's sudden voice, Xiao Han paused. Then he secretly asked in his heart, "Xiao Rou, what are these points used for?"

"Replying to Master: since Xiao Rou has already provided Master with four items, Xiao Rou will no longer provide Master with anything else. If Master requires other items, Master will need to accumulate points and exchange them with Xiao Rou!"

"Uh... then what can points be exchanged for?" Xiao Han asked.

"Master, there is every kind of item imaginable, provided you have enough points. This is the system Points Shop. Master may take a look!"

After Xiao Rou finished speaking, a Points Shop interface appeared in Xiao Han's mind. The goods displayed on it were dazzlingly numerous, leaving Xiao Han overwhelmed.

Xiao Han began looking from the items with the lowest point costs.

"Condom: 10 points. Joyful Powder: 15 points. Couples' Bedroom Set: 30 points..."

"Ahem..." Xiao Han's face reddened slightly, and he hurriedly shifted his gaze away. It really did have everything. He then looked at some Dou Techniques, cultivation methods, spiritual artifacts, and the like. The higher-grade ones required thousands or even tens of thousands of points, making the corners of Xiao Han's mouth twitch. With his current points, he could probably only afford a Condom, right? Still, the Points Shop was quite interesting. As long as he had enough points, he could shop to his heart's content.

"Xiao Rou, how do I obtain points?" Xiao Han asked. These points were like currency; if he wanted to spend them, figuring out how to earn them was naturally crucial.

"Master, earning points is very simple. For example, establishing friendly relationships with important people in this Dou Qi World, advancing through cultivation, killing Magical Beasts or evil people, and so on. Or Master may win a girl's heart. Having several girlfriends can also earn points. There are many ways," Xiao Rou said.

"Getting girlfriends counts too?" Xiao Han blinked. Hearing that made his heart stir. Previously, in order to get into university and repay his parents' kindness, he had put all his effort into studying and had never had a girlfriend. Now that he had fortunately entered the magnificent Dou Qi World of Breaking the Sky, was it necessary for him to get a girlfriend?

After all, the girls in this other world were all beautiful Maidens. Should he pursue several Goddess-level beauties? For example, should he pursue his Goddess, Xun Er, or not?

After all, he was a man with the Omnipotent System.

"Brother Xiao Yan." Just as Xiao Han's mind wandered and his imagination ran wild, a graceful figure approached. She wore a purple dress that outlined her exquisite curves, and her elegant bearing resembled a green lotus. Though she was still a Maiden, once she grew up, she would surely become a beauty capable of toppling nations.

Who else could that approaching figure be but Xun Er?

Upon hearing that sweet call, Xiao Han immediately looked over, and his eyes lit up. An incomparably beautiful face entered his sight, every bit as stunning as he had imagined, beautiful enough to intoxicate the soul.

"Xun Er, am I still worthy of you calling me that?" Xiao Yan asked with a bitter smile as he looked at the Maiden before him.

"In Xun Er's heart, Brother Xiao Yan is still the same spirited genius Youth from before. Brother Xiao Yan, Xun Er believes your talent will return someday. You will reclaim the glory that belongs to you." Xun Er looked at Xiao Yan with her beautiful eyes, her tone resolute. Xiao Yan had already left an indelible mark in her heart, and she had always believed in him.

"Xun Er..." A complicated expression flashed through Xiao Yan's eyes. He had just raised his hand to stroke Xun Er's little head, but when he thought of his current state, he simply lacked the courage. Compared to the Xiao Family Genius before him, the distance between them was like an insurmountable chasm.

Seeing Xiao Yan withdraw his hand, a trace of disappointment flashed through Xun Er's beautiful eyes. Ever since Xiao Yan had become Trash, she had felt his attitude toward her change. It was as though an invisible wall stood between them, and she disliked that very much.

"Uh... I'm being completely ignored here!" Seeing the two people conversing in front of him, the corners of Xiao Han's mouth twitched fiercely. He was a man with a system, yet he had so little presence?

"Hello, Xun Er!" A smile appeared on Xiao Han's face as he proactively extended his right hand in greeting.

Hearing this, Xun Er's beautiful eyes turned toward him, as though she had only just realized someone else was standing beside her. She gave Xiao Han a faint nod but showed no intention of shaking his hand. With her personality, if not for Xiao Yan's sake just now, she would not have bothered responding to Xiao Han at all, much less nodding at him.

Xiao Han's right hand froze in midair, and the corners of his mouth twitched. This... was a little awkward.

"Xiao Han, don't mind her. That's just how she is." Seeing this, Xiao Yan hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, not wanting Xiao Han to look bad. He knew Xun Er's temperament well. She seemed elegant and detached, but ordinary people found it difficult even to speak with her. If he had not done that to Xun Er when they were young, he probably would not have had much contact with her either.

"It's fine, it's fine." Xiao Han smiled awkwardly, groaning inwardly. Pursuing a Goddess with a system? That was probably impossible. This Goddess had already had her heart captured by Xiao Yan since childhood. He had completely lost all hope and could only find another target.

Of course, there were plenty of fish in the sea. Xiao Han was open-minded about that. He was a man with a system; his horizons had to be broader.

Xiao Yan chatted with Xiao Han for a while longer before leaving first. His back still carried a hint of dejection. It seemed that the test just now had still affected him.

"Brother Xiao Yan..." After softly calling out, Xun Er took graceful steps and followed after him, leaving the testing ground shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, although you'll become the Flame Emperor in the future, and although I admire you, right now I really want to curse you. Damn it, I'm so jealous!"

Watching Xiao Yan and Xun Er leave shoulder to shoulder, Xiao Han felt a little depressed. Of course, it was merely a man's instinctive reaction and carried no other meaning.

"However, Xiao Yan, you have Yao Lao as your cheat, while I have the Omnipotent System. Hehe, in the future, you won't be the only one making a name for himself across Dou Qi Continent." Xiao Han thought again of his Omnipotent System. It was far more reliable than Yao Lao as a cheat. With the system in hand, he could roam the heavens in the future and admire the most beautiful scenery in all worlds.

In short, his future ambitions would certainly be greater than Xiao Yan's.

Thinking this, Xiao Han's mood immediately improved. He then headed out of the testing ground as well. It was time for him to properly study cultivation...
