First Check-in, "Supreme God Art"

After all, strength was only one factor in determining combat power.

On Douluo Continent, Martial Soul Strength and Soul Power Cultivation played a greater role in determining one's combat power.

If only I had a system.

Su Yu took a huge bite of fruit and thought to himself.

As a Transmigrator, it would truly be hard for him to make a name for himself without a Golden Finger.

Especially in a world filled with Gods and Ghosts, where lacking strength meant being unable to take even a single step.

"Ding! Detected that the host is about to awaken his Martial Soul. The system is officially activating."

Just as Su Yu was still lamenting, a cold voice suddenly rang out in his mind. His entire body jolted, and he flung the fruit in his hand away.

"Holy shit!"

Su Yu could not help blurting out a curse, delight flooding his face.

"A system?"

"Host, I am here!"

The cold voice echoed slowly, finally bringing the still-disbelieving Su Yu back to his senses.

"Damn, it really is a system. I knew it—how could a Transmigrator like me not have a Golden Finger?"

"This enormous fortune has finally fallen into the hands of yours truly, Su."

Su Yu burst into laughter, and the slight worry he had held about the future vanished in an instant.

He did not indulge himself for long. Su Yu quickly composed himself and asked, "System, what are your functions?"

"Do I complete tasks or grind achievements?"

"Or can I just lie around and collect rewards?"

Su Yu's eyes gleamed as he questioned the system.

As a genuine bookworm, he had read plenty of webnovels in his previous life.

Naturally, he knew systems inside and out.

Of course, his favorite kind was the system that let him lie flat or simply make choices to receive rewards.

Why?

Because it was easy!

Getting stronger while lying down was simply a blessing for lazy people.

"This system is called the Strongest Check-in System. As long as the host checks in every day without fail, he can receive rewards."

"At the same time, the system also offers weekly check-ins, monthly check-ins, yearly check-ins, anniversary check-ins, and more, with even more generous rewards."

"However, the host must maintain daily check-ins without interruption. Once interrupted, the count will restart from the beginning."

"The system also includes the Random Check-in Task function. It may occasionally issue random tasks requiring the host to check in at designated locations. Upon successful completion, the host will receive generous rewards."

"I understand."

Su Yu nodded, gaining a general understanding of the system's functions.

He knew about check-in systems as well.

"Then what kinds of rewards can you give?" Su Yu asked.

That was what he truly cared about.

"The rewards cover every field. As long as the host can think of it, the system has it."

"Really?"

"That arrogant?"

"Then give me a drop of Pangu Essence Blood and let me see what you've got."

Su Yu was doubtful.

System: "..."

"You don't have it, do you?"

Su Yu's eyes darted around as he said, "Then a Double Pupil or a Supreme Bone will do."

"More bones mean more paths, and more eyes make the road easier to walk."

System: "..."

"Host, do you think such things are suitable for Douluo Continent?"

"Hmm... true. Those things really would be a little too overpowered for Douluo Continent."

After all, in a world universally acknowledged as being at rock bottom, having such things would indeed be a bit excessive.

After thinking it over, Su Yu stopped teasing the system. He smiled and asked, "System, since you've officially activated, can I check in now?"

"Yes!"

"Good, then let's check in!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing your First Check-in. Rewards are being distributed."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on obtaining the cultivation technique, 'Supreme God Art.'"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on obtaining one Super Sect Card."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on obtaining ten million Gold Soul Coins."

The system's mechanical, icy voice rang out repeatedly, causing Su Yu to perk up.

"'Supreme God Art': a qi cultivation technique. Sacred and majestic, upright and peaceful. It is divided into eighteen levels, each possessing a unique ability. Its knowledge is vast and profound, its mysteries endless."

"Super Sect Card: upon using this card, the user can obtain an entire Super Power sect out of thin air. Its strength will be comparable to the local Super Powers."

"Ten million Gold Soul Coins..."

Su Yu's gaze flickered as he read the system's descriptions.

One cultivation technique and one Super Power.

He was not entirely sure just how powerful the Supreme God Art was.

But judging from the description, it was at least far stronger than the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill did not possess as many special abilities as the Supreme God Art.

This cultivation technique was undoubtedly extremely suitable for him right now.

As for the Super Sect Card, it was also an exceedingly precious treasure.

During the era of Douluo 2, the only forces in the human world worthy of being called Super Powers were Shrek Academy, the Body Sect, the Clear Sky Sect, Mingde Hall, the Holy Spirit Cult, and the like.

This Super Sect Card had undoubtedly given Su Yu a top-tier background.

One had to know that in this era of Douluo 2, without a powerful backing, it would be anything but easy to interfere in the affairs of the world.

With the protection of a Super Power sect, Su Yu had the capital to become a chess player rather than merely drift with the current and be manipulated by others.

As for the Gold Soul Coins, there was naturally no need to mention them further.

With money, everything went smoothly; without it, one could not take a single step.

The importance of money had never needed to be questioned.

Having received so many precious rewards, Su Yu was naturally overjoyed. Yet his brows remained slightly furrowed. "System, why isn't there a Martial Soul?"

Without a Martial Soul, no matter how many things it gave him, they would be useless.

Under the rules of Douluo Continent, one needed Soul Rings to grow stronger.

Otherwise, even if one's cultivation technique reached a bottleneck, one would be unable to break through.

Not to mention that he did not have a Martial Soul at all.

Without a Martial Soul, even possessing a cultivation technique would not be of much use.

"The host already has a Martial Soul!"

Su Yu: !!!

"What did you say?"

Su Yu looked shocked. "You're saying I have a Martial Soul?"

He was a Transmigrator. How could he have a Martial Soul?

"Was it your doing?"

Su Yu's thoughts raced as though he had realized something.

After all, the system had said it was officially activating, not binding to a host.

Did that mean the system had actually been bound to him long ago?

"The host may understand it that way!"

the system replied.

Su Yu: "..."

"Alright, then thank you."

"Although I don't know why you bound yourself to me, thank you anyway."

After a long while, Su Yu let out a long breath and spoke.

He had never believed that being a Transmigrator made him particularly extraordinary.

Without the system, it would have been truly difficult for him to gain a foothold—especially with someone in the God Realm watching him. Without the system, accomplishing anything great would have been far too difficult.

He was genuinely grateful to the system.

As for conspiracy theories, he had never considered them, nor was there any need to.

Even if the system truly had some conspiracy, so what?

He was powerless regardless, so why trouble himself with needless worries?
