Isn't This Luck a Bit Too Good?

"Oh no!"

Xiao Han had already spent some time living in the Monster Beast Mountain Range of the Doupo World and had begun to develop a hunter's instincts. Judging from how much the leaves were trembling, it was definitely a rather large soul beast. Or perhaps, a group of soul beasts.

Xiao Han remained on guard, the Purple Cloud Wings spreading behind his back as he stared intently ahead. The moment he sensed that the opponent was too powerful, he would immediately fly across the river and flee.

Although this was the perilous Star Dou Great Forest, for Xiao Han, who possessed a system capable of killing monsters for eggs and dropping divine artifacts, it was also an excellent place to cultivate.

Of course, if the soul beast he encountered exceeded the level Xiao Han could handle, then it would not be a blessed land, but a dead end.

From the direction in which the leaves were shaking, he could tell that the creature was coming straight for Xiao Han.

Shortly afterward, the creature finally revealed its true appearance.

Its head was triangular, its eyes resembled a pair of red gemstones, and its entire body was emerald green. At that moment, it stared at Xiao Han, constantly flicking its tongue at him.

"Holy shit, it's actually a Mandala Snake!"

Xiao Han was speechless. He recognized the creature at once.

Familiar with the storyline of Douluo, Xiao Han knew that the Mandala Snake's venom was extremely potent. Not only did it have a paralyzing effect, but it also severely damaged the body's nerves. It was one of the most terrifying poison-type soul beasts. Its body was exceptionally tough, difficult to injure with ordinary blades and swords; only its mouth and eyes were weak points. Yet the Mandala Snake had always protected those two spots well, and it was incredibly fast as well.

"System, don't you think my luck is just too good? I actually ran into a century-old soul beast." The corner of Xiao Han's lips curled up slightly.

Familiar with the storyline of Douluo, Xiao Han knew that the Mandala Snake's cultivation age was related to the size of its body.

Before a Mandala Snake cultivated for a thousand years, its body would grow one centimeter longer for every additional year of cultivation.

This Mandala Snake before him was, by rough estimation, definitely over three meters long, perhaps even close to four meters. In other words, its cultivation was already close to four hundred years.

A four-hundred-year soul beast was something even a level twenty-nine Great Soul Master would not dare confront. Not to mention a Soul Scholar who had yet to obtain a soul ring.

"Ding dong!"

"Host, your luck is indeed very good. In the Douluo World, the first soul beast you encountered was actually the owner of the first soul ring obtained by Douluo's protagonist, Tang San—the Mandala Snake."

Hiss hiss hiss.

The Mandala Snake noticed that Xiao Han actually had wings. A strange glint flashed through its pupils; clearly, it had never seen a human like this before. Seeing that Xiao Han intended to flee, it did not hesitate. Swinging its tail, it launched a rapid assault toward Xiao Han.

"Heh heh, courting death!"

Xiao Han sneered and downed the Level 1 Blue Potion in his hand in one gulp. Then, with a light stamp of his foot, a wisp of Dark White flame shot out from beneath his sole, flying straight toward the Mandala Snake.

Wherever the Dark White flame passed, it left a scorched black trail on the ground. The flame was simply too fast, and the Mandala Snake had charged too fiercely, leaving itself no room to retreat. Thus, almost in the blink of an eye, the pitiful Mandala Snake became an ice sculpture.

Bang!

The momentum of its charge kept the ice sculpture moving forward. With a bang, it finally turned into a pile of black powder.

In an instant, the Mandala Snake had been burned to ashes.

By sheer coincidence, the ashes ended up right beneath Xiao Han's feet. One could imagine just how dangerous Xiao Han's situation would have been if the Mandala Snake had not been killed.

"Haha, now this is more like it!"

Xiao Han felt utterly exhilarated. With one move, he had instantly killed the Mandala Snake that even Grandmaster could not contend with.

What was invincibility?

Instantly killing the opponent with one move, leaving them unable to do anything to you—that was invincibility.

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations, you killed a Mandala Snake with a cultivation age of 398 years. You obtained: 10,000 Experience Points and 10 Energy Points."

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations, you killed a Mandala Snake with a cultivation age of 398 years. Skill book dropped: Mandala Snake Hand."

Mandala Snake Hand: After practicing it, one could gain an ability similar to Tang San's Mystic Jade Hand. The difference was that this skill came from the Mandala Snake and could only increase the toughness of the palms while granting poison attack capabilities.

"Ding dong!"

"The system has detected that the host's Experience Points are full. However, due to the restrictions of the world laws of the Douluo World, you cannot level up without obtaining a soul ring."

As the system's voice faded, a torrent of energy poured directly into Xiao Han's lower abdomen. At once, Xiao Han felt his lower abdomen growing hot and swollen, as though it were about to explode.

In the Douluo World, once soul power reached level ten, one needed to hunt a soul beast and obtain a soul ring before continuing to level up. Otherwise, no matter how one cultivated, it was impossible to raise soul power to level eleven.

But Xiao Han was an oddity. His cheat was neither some cultivation technique nor some Old Grandpa, but an invincible system that allowed him to level up by killing monsters.

Xiao Han had clearly overlooked the fact that killing the Mandala Snake would earn him Experience Points—put another way, soul power in the Douluo World.

When a person's Dantian could no longer expand, yet energy continued to pour into it, what would happen? Obviously, it would burst.

At that moment, this was exactly what was happening to Xiao Han's body.

"Ah!!!"

Xiao Han clutched his lower abdomen, his face turning pale as cold sweat emerged. His features twisted severely from the pain, and he could not help groaning.

Xiao Han had no doubt that if he gained any more Experience Points, his Dantian would definitely burst apart.

"Ding dong!"

"The system's Experience Point pool is full. New function successfully activated: Strengthen Body!"

"Ding dong!"

"The system has detected that the host is enduring inhuman torment. Would you like to consume experience from the experience pool to strengthen your physical body?"

"Strengthen my physical body. Use all the experience to strengthen my physical body!" Xiao Han hurriedly commanded through the pain.

Following Xiao Han's command, the energy within his Dantian immediately began circulating through his meridians and throughout his Entire Body. Before long, all that energy vanished into his blood vessels, nourishing every part of his body.

"Phew..."

Xiao Han let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He could vaguely sense that his physical body seemed to have grown a little stronger than before.
