Second Stage Main Quest, Generous Rewards!

Second Stage Main Quest Released

Mission Requirement: Break through to Level 30 Soul Power within two and a half years

Mission Reward: Physical Enhancement (able to withstand soul rings up to twelve thousand years), Mental Power Upgrade to Soul Emperor Level, Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone

Mission Penalty: Soul Power Drop by Six Levels

Lin Tianyi's gaze lingered on the mission requirements for a long while as he pondered to himself.

With his current ability to absorb soul rings up to two thousand five hundred years old, his Soul Power would rise by at least six or seven levels after absorbing one.

Combined with his Innate Soul Power Level 9 talent and the support of his system wife, breaking through to Level 30 within two and a half years should not be much of a problem.

Although Tang San had taken six years to rise from Level 10 to Level 30, he did not have opportunities like Lin Tianyi's.

As his gaze moved down to the mission rewards, his eyes abruptly widened.

Th-This... these rewards were way too generous!!

Wife, I love you. Having you is such a blessing!

Lin Tianyi felt as though he were about to faint from happiness.

Before awakening his Martial Soul, he had already prepared for the worst. He could follow his old man and farm the land; he would still be able to support himself. Though life would be poor, at least both his parents would be alive and the family would be happy.

He had heard that he had once had an older brother, but the boy had unfortunately died young. That was why his parents doted on him so much.

Yet he had never expected to awaken the Dragon's Roar Sword Martial Soul, possess Innate Soul Power Level 9, and then gain both a system and a wife. One surprise after another in the same day filled him with joy.

Now things were perfect. Once he rose to prominence, he would let his parents live a wealthy, comfortable life.

As long as they had him, their genius son, no one would dare look down on them just because they were ordinary farmers.

Taking a deep breath, he raised his head and slowly exhaled the stale air. His childish face was filled with a radiant smile.

The world was so wonderful!

Now that he had broken through Level 10, it was time to obtain a soul ring.

But there was one fatal problem before him—

Neither of his parents was a soul master, and their family did not know any powerful soul masters. How was he supposed to obtain a Thousand-Year Soul Ring?

Xianxian was as strong as he was and lacked powerful offensive abilities, so she would not work either.

Did he have to wait two months until he went to the academy and ask a teacher for help?

But why would anyone help him? Unless he truly knelt and became their disciple, rather than merely having a teacher-student relationship at the academy.

Just as Lin Tianyi agonized over obtaining a soul ring, a cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

Detected that the host has broken through Level 10 and urgently needs to obtain a soul ring. Guardian Program activated.

Guardian Puppet (comparable to a Level 95 Titled Douluo) and Soul Beast Encyclopedia issued. The Guardian Puppet will be recalled after the host obtains a soul ring.

Lin Tianyi stood there blankly and muttered to himself, "This... is way too thoughtful..."

A vast amount of knowledge about soul beasts surged into his mind. Knowledge of animal-type, plant-type, and special-type soul beasts was all crammed into his head at once, making his temples bulge.

After a long while, once he had finished receiving the enormous and jumbled memories, Lin Tianyi's face was filled with shock.

It had directly implanted memories into him. He had thought it would simply give him a Soul Beast Encyclopedia for him to read through.

Recalling the immense amount of information in his mind concerning every soul beast on Douluo Continent, he knew it all by heart. It could be said that no one on the entire Douluo Continent understood soul beasts better than he did.

A tall, burly man built like an iron tower suddenly appeared out of thin air beside Lin Tianyi.

The mountain-like humanoid shadow completely covered Lin Tianyi's small body, immediately dimming the light before him considerably.

The tall, burly man was Lin Tianyi's Guardian Puppet. On the surface, he looked like a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe, with a stern and imposing face. He looked no different from a real person.

But in truth, he was merely an emotionless puppet who could not even speak.

Aside from lacking a human soul, he possessed all the abilities of a Level 95 Titled Douluo, complete with soul rings and soul skills.

Hehe, he's Puppet Number One. You can call him Number One. Hurry and go obtain your soul ring.

Lin Xianxian's giggling, ethereal, adorable voice rang out in his mind.

Lin Tianyi looked Number One up and down. The puppet stood more than two meters tall and was as burly as an iron tower. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

Since he was a puppet, did he have a one-click self-destruct function?

Lin Tianyi asked Lin Xianxian. She said he did, and Lin Tianyi could only marvel at how comprehensive the system was.

Then, Lin Tianyi directly took the Guardian Puppet and headed home.

He would be going to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a soul ring, and the trip would take several days. Naturally, he had to tell his parents so they would not worry when they could not find him.

When he returned home, both his parents were there. Seeing Lin Tianyi return, Qin Hui, who had been weaving tiny shoes in the courtyard, immediately rose with a smile.

But when she saw the Guardian Puppet behind Lin Tianyi, her gentle, beautiful face immediately changed slightly, and her lovely deep-blue eyes suddenly contracted.

That tall, burly man actually gave her a fatal sense of threat.

She was a Level 76 Soul Sage! For someone to make her feel such a deadly threat, just how strong did he have to be?

Qin Hui hurriedly called for Lin Tu inside the house. Hearing her anxious voice, Lin Tu immediately rushed out of the room.

Without asking what had happened, he immediately saw the tall, burly Guardian Puppet following behind Lin Tianyi. His dark face changed as well, his black pupils abruptly contracting and trembling violently.

He too sensed a fatal threat from the Guardian Puppet. Even Lin Tianyi's grandfather, a peak Soul Douluo, had never made him feel this way. This person's strength went without saying.

Titled Douluo!!

A storm raged in his heart. Why had a Titled Douluo suddenly appeared here?!

Lin Tu remained outwardly composed and continued pretending to be a rural farmer. He gave his wife a reassuring look, then walked toward Lin Tianyi with an honest smile.

"Tianyi, this person behind you is...?"

Lin Tianyi had already prepared an excuse and replied with a grin, "His name is Zhao Qing. He said he's a Titled Douluo. When he saw how extraordinarily talented I was just now, he insisted on taking me as his disciple. I came to ask for Father and Mother's opinion."

Upon learning that the mysterious Titled Douluo wanted to take Lin Tianyi as his disciple, the wariness in Lin Tu and Qin Hui's hearts lessened slightly, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If this mysterious Titled Douluo had malicious intentions, then even if the couple risked their lives, they would not be able to protect Lin Tianyi.

With a Titled Douluo wanting to accept Lin Tianyi as a disciple, Lin Tu and Qin Hui felt both joy and concern.

They were happy because a powerful Titled Douluo wanted to take their son as a disciple. Their son would take far fewer detours in the future, have a powerful patron, and no longer face danger.

But they were worried that with a powerful Titled Douluo as his backer, would their younger son become like their eldest son—completely unrestrained and turned into a wastrel?

Then would all their painstaking efforts to establish Lin Family Village and give their son a simple upbringing have been for nothing?

After careful consideration, Lin Tu ultimately could not bear to let his son miss such a heaven-sent opportunity.

After all, the entire Heaven Dou Empire only had one Titled Douluo, Poison Douluo.

He only hoped this Titled Douluo would be strict in disciplining his son and would not let him become a wastrel.

Thinking this, delight appeared on Lin Tu's honest, dark face. He hurriedly pressed down on Lin Tianyi's little head and made him bow to the Guardian Puppet.

Then he earnestly told Lin Tianyi that he had to behave and listen to Lord Soul Master from now on, and not make Lord Soul Master angry.

Lin Tianyi nodded with a grin, indicating that he understood.

Then Lin Tianyi added, "Father, Mother, I've broken through Level 10. I'm going with my teacher to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a soul ring, and I may not return for several days."
