Sacrificing Tang San? That'll Cost Extra! (Please Bookmark and Recommend!)

Douluo Continent?

Huo Feng silently repeated the four words the pleasant mechanical female voice had just spoken in his mind.

"Did I transmigrate?"

"To Douluo Continent, no less!"

Hadn't he just been getting a foot massage?

Holy shit, that worked too?

Having read countless web novels, he naturally knew what kind of place this was.

Just then, the original owner's memories surged into his mind like crashing waves.

A wave of dizziness struck Huo Feng, but he recovered in just a few breaths.

At the same time, the mechanical female voice in his mind reappeared. "Notting City, Holy Spirit Village."

This was bad!

Huo Feng was speechless.

According to the memories he had fused with, the original owner had only one grandfather and no other relatives, and that grandfather had passed away not long ago.

And he himself was only six years old!

The family was dirt poor, with nothing but a stone house and half a mu of vegetable land outside.

Even more ridiculous, his home seemed to be only a few dozen meters from that scheming Tang San's.

But knowing the background, he knew their situations were worlds apart.

In other words, this was a doomed start!

Ding!

Host detected to have transmigrated to Douluo Continent. Heaven-Sacrifice System is activating.

1%, 20%, 50%, 99%, 100%!

Heaven-Sacrifice System activated successfully!

Beginner mission issued: Sacrifice Tang San.

Mission deadline: Three days.

Mission reward: Martial Soul: Nine Swords of Dugu!

Oh?

The Heaven-Sacrifice System?

The system sounded pretty good, but... sacrifice Tang San?

Huo Feng muttered under his breath. He and Tang San were about the same age, and according to his memories, they seemed to have gotten along quite well.

System, you're making this difficult for me. He pursed his lips.

"That'll cost extra!"

Ding!

In accordance with the host's request, completing the beginner mission will grant an additional reward! Additional reward: Innate Full Soul Power!

"Perfect. I like it!"

The corners of Huo Feng's lips curled up slightly. The original owner had been close to Tang San—what did that have to do with him? He didn't think Tang San was any kind of good person.

Three days.

Based on the current timeline, three days later would happen to be the day Holy Spirit Village awakened Martial Souls.

In other words, he had to sacrifice Tang San before the Martial Soul awakening.

But how exactly was he supposed to perform this sacrifice?

He had only thought halfway through it when—

Ding!

This system is called the Heaven-Sacrifice System. As long as the host chooses an item to sacrifice, corresponding reward feedback can be obtained.

The reward feedback varies according to the value of the sacrificed item.

"Can anything be sacrificed?"

That is how it is set. The higher the value of the sacrificed item, the better the reward will naturally be.

Huo Feng nodded. As he pondered, he picked up a teapot from the wooden table beside him, then silently said,

"System, sacrifice this teapot."

The moment he spoke, the teapot in his hand vanished, leaving not the slightest trace, as though it had evaporated.

Just as Huo Feng was feeling curious and shocked, a faint white light flashed across the table.

Then, a plate piled with sumptuous food landed steadily on the table.

The fragrance spread everywhere. Sacrifice increases the value of the original item severalfold, then grants the most suitable reward according to the host's current circumstances.

"Then how do you sacrifice a living person?"

Huo Feng couldn't help asking.

Could it really be that simple? As long as one made physical contact with the person being sacrificed.

"Gasp—this is..."

"Too damn convenient!"

Delight appeared on Huo Feng's face, but he immediately thought of a problem. "Will there be any consequences after the sacrifice?"

If people vanished like that teapot after being sacrificed, that would be troublesome.

Tang San's father was still inside forging iron.

If his son suddenly disappeared, wouldn't Holy Spirit Village be turned upside down?

After the sacrifice, the sacrificed person will not undergo any obvious changes. They may merely feel somewhat weak.

The same person cannot be sacrificed repeatedly within a short period, but may be sacrificed multiple times!

In other words, there was a cooldown. That made things much easier.

Huo Feng grinned. The next instant, he caught the rich scent of food.

"Growl—!"

He rubbed his empty stomach and looked at the large chicken leg in the center of the plate. Only then did Huo Feng realize he was already starving.

The original owner usually ate nothing but bland, watery meals, and his body was thinner and weaker than those of children his age.

Huo Feng could now feel that directly for himself.

Although it was still morning, Huo Feng couldn't care less. He immediately dug in ravenously.

At the same time, atop a small hill beside Holy Spirit Village, a thin, small figure sat cross-legged.

The child breathed evenly, as though he were within some subtle cycle.

The sun gradually rose, and the pale glow on the horizon disappeared.

The child stood up. As his eyes opened and closed, a faint purple gleam flashed through them.

It was Tang San.

"Achoo~!"

Tang San suddenly sneezed.

"Could the weather be too cold today?"

Tang San was somewhat puzzled. His clothes were suitable, and with the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he should not have been affected by this slight chill.

And for some reason, a faint sense of unease rose in his heart.

He shook his head, turned, and headed down the mountain.

Three days passed quickly.

Yesterday, Village Chief Old Jack had specifically come by.

He had brought Huo Feng some simple food and told him about today's Martial Soul awakening ceremony.

Seeing that it was about time, Huo Feng headed straight out toward the Spirit Hall in the center of the village.

Halfway there, he happened to run into Old Jack leading Tang San over.

Huo Feng naturally joined Tang San and followed behind Old Jack.

Seeing him, Tang San smiled slightly and greeted him.

Huo Feng directly reached out and patted Tang San on the shoulder, replying with a grin.

At the same time, he silently said in his heart,

"System, sacrifice Tang San!"

Ding!

1%, 50%, 100%!

Tang San successfully sacrificed!

Beginner mission completed. Reward has been issued successfully. Please check it, host!

A dense surge of energy seemed to descend from the heavens, instantly flooding into Huo Feng's body.

The feeling was so incredibly comfortable that he nearly wanted to close his eyes right then and enjoy it properly.

Unable to help himself, he let out a faint moan.

"Ah~"

"Ah—~!"

Two voices rang out at the same time!

Almost simultaneously, Tang San stumbled, as though his knees had gone weak, nearly falling to the ground.

Huo Feng hurriedly supported Tang San and asked with a face full of concern, "Tang San, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

The commotion even made Old Jack, who was walking ahead, stop and turn around.

Tang San, who had been rosy-cheeked moments ago, now looked slightly pale.

He could only stand steadily with Huo Feng supporting him.

"Little San, are you feeling unwell?"

Tang San shook his head. In that instant, it had felt as though his body had suddenly been hollowed out.

Yet he couldn't feel anything specifically wrong.

Seeing the worried Huo Feng beside him, Tang San instead felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm fine. Maybe I didn't rest well last night. Let's keep going."

After resting for roughly another ten breaths, the three of them continued forward.

Inside the Spirit Hall near the center of Holy Spirit Village, Su Yuntao, who was seated steadily on a wooden stool, suddenly opened his eyes.

Just now, he seemed to have sensed a very distinct energy fluctuation nearby.

But it also seemed like an illusion.

He immediately shook his head and resumed resting with his eyes closed.

How could a Soul Master's energy fluctuation possibly appear in a place like this?

He had no time to worry about such nonsense. Once he finished here, he still had to head to the next village.
