"Lan Ming, martial soul: Azure Vine. Innate Soul Power: Rank Seven!"

In Spirit City, on the square before Spirit Hall, countless boys and girls stood in rows while crowds in the distance craned their necks in anticipation.

The blazing sun hung high overhead without a cloud in sight. An indescribable oppression and sweltering heat filled the air.

It was truly awful weather.

Yet it still could not suppress the excitement and anxiety on those young faces.

Today was the day this batch of Spirit Hall descendants, all considered highly talented, would awaken their martial souls.

Although these children generally came from exceptionally outstanding families, no one could guarantee that some mutation would not occur.

After all, wasn't there that famous Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon laughingstock?

No wonder they were nervous.

Whether they would enter the ranks of top geniuses and receive Spirit Hall's focused cultivation, or lose their halos and fall into the dirt—

It would all be decided today.

Only one person seemed entirely out of place amid the tense atmosphere.

He was a white-haired youth.

He stood tall and straight, with neatly trimmed white hair and eyes as black as ink. Simply standing there, he towered over his peers and stood out like a crane among chickens.

Most importantly, even the three publicly acknowledged geniuses were somewhat nervous on this future-defining day of martial soul awakening. Yet this white-haired youth looked utterly calm, even somewhat indifferent, glancing around as though he and the restless crowd belonged to two different worlds.

He listened idly to the voices calling out one after another from the stage, while his mind had long since drifted elsewhere.

What a pain. Why did I have to reincarnate into Tang God King's backyard of all places?

Su Chen sighed.

He was not originally from Douluo Continent, but from another world.

Naruto!

Speaking of which, the Naruto World had not been his first world either. As a native of Blue Star, after receiving the truck-kun reincarnation package, he had first transmigrated into the Naruto World...

At the time, it had been Konoha Year 36, on the eve of the Second Ninja World War.

Su Chen had become a contemporary and close friend of the Konoha Sannin: Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya.

He had been Orochimaru's research partner, Jiraiya's pen pal and drinking companion, as well as Tsunade's gambling partner and mentor in medical ninjutsu.

Su Chen had lived through the Second and Third Ninja World Wars, mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, "developed" the Rasengan and the Chidori series, and gradually grown ever stronger, carving out a formidable reputation on the battlefield.

Unlike the Konoha Sannin, Su Chen had earned his name by killing several Jonin in Iwagakure and Kumogakure, as well as defeating the A and B brothers simultaneously. He had been honored as—

The Silver Flash!!!

With abundant resources at his disposal, he had naturally cultivated himself to the limit of mortals, becoming the strongest of that era!

The might of Konoha's Silver Flash instantly overshadowed all nations, and for a time, none could rival his glory.

But Su Chen knew that his strength, only half a step into the Super Kage Level, was far from enough in a world where bloodlines reigned supreme and eyes created legends.

Without Otsutsuki blood, without the Sharingan or Byakugan, at best he could only reach Might Guy's level and bloom brilliantly for an instant.

But Su Chen was unwilling to settle for that.

He began studying soul secret techniques with Orochimaru and even yielded the position of Hokage to Minato Namikaze, whose seniority was far beneath his own.

Finally, after Naruto and Sasuke were born, Su Chen found the opportunity he had been seeking.

He first used Naruto and Sasuke's cells and soul fragments as the foundation, then supplemented them with the purest Byakugan bloodlines of Hinata Hyuga and Hanabi, along with Hashirama Senju's cells. Using cloning technology, he created the strongest body possible!!

Then, using that body as a medium, he drew forth Asura and Indra's Chakra, merged Yin and Yang power, opened the All-Encompassing Creation, awakened the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan and an Immortal Body, and obtained an eye technique unique to him alone—one that touched upon the taboo of time.

Takamagahara!

Afterward, bolstered by the Immortal Body and Yang power, Su Chen could basically open the Gate of Death without injury and use Daytime Tiger and Evening Elephant like ordinary attacks.

Yet even after reaching this point and becoming virtually invincible in the Ninja World, Su Chen was not satisfied. He integrated the senjutsu of the Three Great Sage Regions, created a new Perfect Sage Mode, and learned every ninjutsu, Bloodline Limit, Forbidden Jutsu, and Sealing Jutsu.

Finally, he reached the moon, seized and absorbed all the pure Otsutsuki bloodlines, and awakened the Tenseigan!

At that point, his max-level account was complete.

Back then, Su Chen had cosplayed the Four Laughing Sages on the moon, frightening the Sage of Six Paths and his younger brother so badly that neither dared make a sound.

The constant sense of danger that had surrounded him for decades finally vanished, and he could finally begin enjoying himself properly!!

But just as Su Chen was preparing to kick Kaguya Otsutsuki and punch Six Paths Madara before unifying the Ninja World and enjoying life, an unfamiliar yet familiar system interface suddenly appeared.

System energy restored. The Strongest Douluo System is at your service. Beep beep--- Error detected. Current world is not Douluo Continent. Initiating reincarnation... 3. 2. 1! Initiation successful!

Before Su Chen could even understand what that meant, he had arrived in the world of Douluo Continent in the next second, becoming the son of a Purple Bishop of Spirit Hall.

What the hell, man?

I already maxed out in the Ninja World, and you sent me here to start a newbie account all over again??

Once Su Chen recovered from the shock of turning into a child, he was utterly dumbfounded.

Heaven knew that he had lived his previous life trembling on thin ice, terrified every step of the way that he might expose some flaw and draw Black Zetsu's attention. Forget having a girlfriend—he had never even held a woman's hand!

The threat of death and the intense pressure of danger had forced him to seize every second to grow stronger, without a moment to catch his breath.

Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, he did nothing but cultivate and research. For decades, he ate nothing but bitter, improved high-quality Military Ration Pills, woke earlier than chickens, and slept later than dogs!

Damn it, he had finally reached the point where he should have been enjoying the fruits of his labor, yet this damned system suddenly sent him to this dump and made him start over from scratch?

*Fuck you, you ********!!

For several days, whenever he had nothing to do, Su Chen frantically cursed the system's ancestors and relatives. He cursed for an entire week, and only gradually stopped after preparing to sever his soul to force the system out, to no avail.

The system seemed thoroughly frightened as well. Aside from sneakily displaying compensation and a status panel, it did not dare show itself at all.

After several more days, Su Chen grew tired.

Cursing was one thing, but he could not just completely give up, could he?

At worst, once he became stronger in the future, he would materialize the system, pull it out, and toss it into some hentai world so it could experience what it felt like to be used as toilet paper.

After that, he calmed down and began considering his current circumstances and this world.

Douluo Continent was not unfamiliar to Su Chen. After all, even outsiders had heard of Tang God King's great name.

This Tang God King had truly taken the path to death to its absolute extreme.

A gatekeeper gave him trouble? Path to death.

You killed my spirit beast? Path to death.

You injured your teammate in the arena? Path to death.

And later, there had been things like—

When his level was low, he went to the Clear Sky Sect: "I'm here to atone for my father's sins."

When his level was high, he went to the Clear Sky Sect: "It's all your fault. What did my father do wrong?"

Dare to argue?

You have chosen the path to death!!!

Good grief, even Version T0 would marvel at that level of double standards.

As for how he later tormented his son-in-law and daughter, there was no need to mention it. It could only be said that he had reached the point of utter madness.

Of course, Tang God King was at most an heir to an evil dragon. The real malignant tumor was the Divine Realm above the heavens, along with its many God Kings.

They were Su Chen's target.

Only when the gods were gone could true freedom be obtained.

As for Tang God King, the chosen protagonist, Su Chen honestly did not take him seriously at all.

That was the confidence the strongest being in the Ninja World gave him.

Shaking his head, Su Chen opened the system panel only he could see.

Name: Su Chen Gender: Male Age: Six Realm: Level 10 (Spirit Scholar; becomes a Spirit Master after obtaining a spirit ring) Life Energy: 1200 (Standard Spirit Master: 100–500) Mental Energy: 300 (Spirit Connection Realm; standard Spirit Masters are in the Spirit Origin Realm, 0–50) Soul Power (Chakra): 1000 (Standard Spirit Master: 100–800) External Soul Bone: Sharingan (Single Tomoe): Increased neural reaction speed and dynamic perception; can cast genjutsu through eye contact. Byakugan: X-ray vision, 360° vision without blind spots, one-kilometer telescopic vision. Traits: Perfect Sage Body 10% (Your self-healing ability, stamina recovery speed, vitality, affinity with nature, cultivation talent, and Sage Mode cultivation speed are enhanced.) Ancestor of Eye Techniques (You may use all eye techniques without restriction; requires Mangekyō Sharingan/Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan/Rinnegan.) Kamui (unavailable), Amaterasu (unavailable), Tsukuyomi (unavailable). Usable Skills: Su Chen Style Swordsmanship, Su Chen Style Shurikenjutsu, Su Chen Style Taijutsu...

There was nothing much to say about the eye techniques and physique. That trait was the system's compensation, and it had also granted the Immortal Body new properties.

It was because of this that Su Chen abandoned the idea of immediately researching souls to find the system and strip it away.

As long as he could develop steadily into the later stages, he could even use Tang God King to make a moon for the Douluo World.

"Hu Liena, martial soul: Demonic Fox. Innate Soul Power: Rank Nine Point Five!!"

The noisy voices in the square pulled Su Chen from his thoughts. He lifted his gaze toward the restless crowd and the pink-haired girl radiating light atop the awakening platform.

The phantom of a seductive fox demon circled above her, adding an alluring charm to the girl. Though she was still young, one could already glimpse the captivating beauty she would possess in the future.

"Innate Soul Power of Rank Nine Point Five?"

"That's the highest today, isn't it?"

"Rank Nine Point Five... It seems the next-generation Saintess of Spirit Hall can only be her!"

"A top-tier beast martial soul and Rank Nine Point Five Soul Power. Good heavens, this child may soon become the next His Holiness the Pope!"

"Perhaps she'll achieve the strength of a Titled Douluo before the age of thirty-five!!"

"Spirit Hall shall flourish!!"

Those distant voices filled with amazement and faint jealousy did not escape Su Chen's ears. He secretly curled his lip.

What was so special about becoming a Titled Douluo at thirty-five?

That was because they had never seen a cheat who became a god at twenty-five.

"Next, Su Chen!!"

It was unknown how long it took before the commotion barely subsided under the Awakening Elder's intervention, and Su Chen finally heard his own name.

Compared to Hu Liena, his name was far more unfamiliar, but his height, a head taller than everyone else, still drew plenty of attention.

The white-haired youth walked onto the platform at an unhurried pace and directly placed his hand on the crystal ball.

But after a long while, the crystal ball showed no reaction.

"Hmm?"

Had it broken after being used too many times?

The Awakening Elder frowned and reached out to inspect it.

Crack—

A crisp cracking sound rang through the square. The Awakening Elder's expression instantly changed as he stared wide-eyed at the crystal ball, which had suddenly split with countless fissures.

The next second—

Bang!

The crystal ball exploded!!
