Ding! Ninety-nine challenges completed, the Douluo Leveling System is comprehensively upgraded. Rewards: One Beginner's Gift Pack, free Martial Soul upgrade: Ruyi Jingu Bang.
Ding! Martial Soul upgraded successfully, please check! Would you like to open the Beginner's Gift Pack?
Hearing the prompt in his mind, Sun Sheng, who had just been brutally beaten by Liu Long, felt extreme pain throughout his body, yet his heart was filled with joyful surprise.
Six years of hard work had finally brought about his spring!
The Douluo Leveling System truly did not let him down!
Sun Sheng came from modern society and was a loyal fan of Douluo.
Yet this Douluo fan was a bit different; he disliked Tang San and disliked Grandmaster even more, instead feeling somewhat sympathetic toward women such as Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, and Qian Renxue.
It was not that Tang San was written poorly, but rather that he was written too well.
Why did all the good things fall into his hands, and why were quite a few of the Douluo goddesses infatuated with Tang San?
He was unconvinced, thoroughly unconvinced.
Especially Grandmaster, a mere Soul Grandmaster who managed to capture the hearts of two major goddesses, Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong, and moreover tossed them around like a scumbag.
This filled him with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
If he ever had the chance to time-travel to Douluo Continent, he would definitely beat up Tang San, capture the hearts of the goddesses, and become the strongest and happiest person on Douluo Continent.
Perhaps his intense jealousy and dissatisfaction touched the heavens, granting him a chance when he was watching the old version of Journey to the West and revisiting Douluo Continent, causing him to soul-travel across.
Although the martial soul he obtained upon soul-traveling across was merely a pitch-black iron staff.
Yet he believed that with the system by his side, he would definitely achieve a counter-attack and fulfill his inner wish.
Subsequently, in accordance with the missions issued by the system, he came to Notting City Junior Academy to work-study, performing daily tasks such as washing dishes, sweeping floors, cleaning toilets, growing vegetables, and completing challenges.
All of this was to elevate himself, gain more rewards, and achieve a counter-attack in one fell swoop.
"Open the gift pack!"
Ding! Beginner's Gift Pack opened successfully, obtaining one million leveling value, one million exchange value, and one lottery ticket.
Leveling value: Can be used to upgrade spirit ring and soul bone ages, one point equivalent to one year. Given that the host's first spirit ring age is only ten years, it is recommended to upgrade it to a million-year spirit ring.
Exchange value: Can be used in the mall to exchange for spirit rings, soul bones, immortal herbs, martial souls, etc. Since the host's first martial soul has been upgraded to Ruyi Jingu Bang, it is recommended to exchange for the second martial soul: Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong (Spiritual Stone Monkey).
Lottery ticket: Can be used to draw prizes in the mall. Given that the host is activating the lottery function for the first time, the initial winning probability is one hundred percent.
"Upgrade spirit ring, exchange for Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong."
Seeing the items gifted in the Beginner's Gift Pack along with the system's suggestions, Sun Sheng was wild with joy and nodded in agreement without the slightest hesitation.
The intense pain in his body vanished completely along with his surge of happiness.
A million-year spirit ring!
Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong!
Were these not precisely the spirit ring and martial soul he had dreamed of to change his destiny?
Ding! Million-year spirit ring upgraded successfully. Spirit skills: Seal (can lock and seal enemies), Hundredfold Amplification (one-hundred-fold enhancement), Crush (comprehensive suppression), Armor Break (ignores any defense).
Ding! Second martial soul exchanged successfully, please check!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just as the system's prompt faded, endless power surged into Sun Sheng's body, scouring his physique, spirit rings, and martial souls.
When this energy dissipated, his soul power level had miraculously risen to rank nineteen.
Just one step further, and he would be able to absorb a second spirit ring and advance to a Soul Grandmaster.
At this moment, his injuries had also completely healed.
On Douluo Continent, soul masters were a profession exclusive to humanity.
At age six, everyone had an opportunity to awaken a martial soul.
Every soul master possessed their own soul power, which, based on strength, was divided into a total of one hundred ranks.
Every ten ranks constituted a title, from lowest to highest: Spirit Apprentice, Spirit Master, Soul Grandmaster, Soul Elder, Soul Ancestor, Soul King, Spirit Emperor, Spirit Saint, Soul Douluo, and Titled Douluo.
When a Spirit Apprentice's soul power reached rank ten, they needed to absorb a spirit ring in order to continue increasing their soul power level and become a Spirit Master.
And so on.
Spirit rings were the sole standard for a soul master's advancement, obtained by hunting soul beasts and categorized by their age.
White, one to ninety-nine years; yellow, century-old spirit ring; purple, thousand-year spirit ring; black, ten-thousand-year spirit ring; red, one-hundred-thousand-year spirit ring; and so on.
Would the host like to conduct a draw?
As Sun Sheng felt the changes within him, the system's prompt sounded once more.
"Draw!"
Having tasted the sweetness of success, Sun Sheng silently and unhesitatingly muttered in his heart.
He wanted to see what kind of good thing this one-hundred-percent hit rate could let him draw.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining an external soul bone.
An external soul bone!
Good heavens!
Even this kind of blind luck could fall into my lap.
Soul bones were divided into six major categories and were an extremely special kind of item that strengthened a soul master's physique and came with spirit skills, originating from soul beasts.
Generally speaking, only soul beasts with extremely formidable strength that experienced special circumstances upon death could possibly produce soul bones after dying.
External soul bones were the most special and rare existence among soul bones, not belonging to the six major categories. They were something all soul masters dreamed of, capable of evolving as the soul master's soul power increased.
The earlier a soul master absorbed one, the longer the evolution time and the stronger the resulting enhancement.
However, the probability of an external soul bone appearing was even lower, a hundred or even a thousand times lower than that of ordinary soul bones.
One could see just how rare an external soul bone truly was.
Wait!
Why was this external soul bone a tail?
After easily fusing with the soul bone, Sun Sheng discovered that it was a furry monkey tail.
This left him somewhat speechless.
Could this be the tail of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong?
No way!
And when he saw the spirit skill attached to the external soul bone, he felt a sliver of disappointment.
Reinforce!
There was only this single tiny spirit skill of reinforcement, and it only had a one-hundred-percent reinforcement effect.
This fell far short of the hundredfold amplification spirit skill attached to his million-year spirit ring.
Sigh, whatever, forget it. It's still better than nothing. At least it's an external soul bone, perhaps surprises will appear later on.
Sun Sheng put away the external soul bone with a wry smile.
Ding! Issued main quest one: Defeat Liu Long and wash away past humiliation.
Ding! Issued main quest two: Defeat Tang San.
Ding! Issued main quest three: Head to Spirit Hall and take Bibi Dong as master.
Just as Sun Sheng was planning to return to the dormitory, the sound of system quests echoed in his mind.
"Heh, three main quests right off the bat. Not bad at all."
"Ever since the Douluo Leveling System was fully upgraded, it really is different."
"Liu Long, oh Liu Long, let's see how you resist this time, kid."
"Just wait to be abused."
Right before the system upgrade earlier, he had been brutally beaten by Liu Long, and after beating him, Liu Long had even cursed him as trash, garbage, and a moron. Now, he would be able to pay him back immediately!
"And Tang San, once kid beats Liu Long, I'm coming to abuse you next."
At the mere thought of Liu Long and Tang San defeated beneath his staff, Sun Sheng felt a trace of excitement.
He could finally embark on his path of invinvibility and wooing maidens.
