Douluo: The System Arrived Ten Thousand Years Early, and I Crushed Tang San

Ding! The host had once again shocked this Tongzi by directly subduing Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor and Life Core of the Douluo Star Plane, triggering a Critical Strike Reward.

Congratulations, host, on obtaining the usage method for the "Soul Spirit: Equal Contract" and the Technique: Shrink Ground into Inches.

Soul Spirit: Equal Contract: A contract could be signed with a Soul Beast. The Soul Spirit could provide the host with Soul Rings, while the host's increased strength would also promote the Soul Spirit's growth. Furthermore, after the host died, the Soul Spirit would automatically terminate its contract with the host...

Shrink Ground into Inches: Once successfully cultivated, it could greatly shorten spatial distances. What appeared to be a small step could actually cross an immense distance, enabling rapid movement.

Holy shit!

Holy shit!

Holy shit!

The first Soul Spirit Contract aside, the Equal Contract benefited both parties. More importantly, a Soul Master's death would not drag the Soul Spirit down with them, which counted as preserving a small portion of the Soul Beast's rights.

However, signing a contract with a Soul Beast was not actually such an easy matter.

An ordinary Soul Beast needed cultivation of at least ten thousand years before it possessed some human-like thinking ability. Most below ten thousand years merely fought, devoured, and evolved on instinct.

Unless one could find the Lord of Soul Beasts or powerful fierce beasts like Di Tian, there was no point even discussing it.

Could This Be One of Life's Three Great Delusions—She Likes Me? ### Xiao Tian's attention was mainly focused on the second reward.

Shrink Ground into Inches!

Was this system serious?

Once he truly mastered this technique, what place on the Douluo Continent would he be unable to reach?

As long as he had sufficient Soul Power, even a Titled Douluo would not be able to catch him, right?

System!

You really are my dad!

That was right—Xiao Tian admitted for the first time that the system was his dad!

Compared to the system's rewards, calling it that would not cost him a piece of flesh. Besides, he had said worse things back in his college dorm in his previous life.

Hehehe.

Because Xiao Tian's comprehension had improved, he directly learned Shrink Ground into Inches while traveling from Holy Spirit Village to Nuoding City.

In terms of Soul Power consumption, it was still somewhat burdensome for him at present. However, over short distances, it consumed much less Soul Power.

By the time he returned to Nuoding Academy, it was already night as well.

Xiao Tian glanced at Xiao Wu, who was pretending to sleep beside him, and smiled faintly. He wondered whether what he had said to her a few days ago had been a little too much for her.

Early the next morning, the instant Tang San went out to cultivate Purple Demon Eye, Xiao Wu sprang out of bed and, without a word, dragged Xiao Tian to a relatively secluded place.

"Xiao Tian, when did you discover that I was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form?"

Xiao Wu's eyes were bloodshot. Clearly, she had not slept for a long time.

It was not as though she had never considered telling Xiao Tian over the past few years that she was a Soul Beast in human form. She wanted to tell Xiao Tian why she hated Spirit Hall, but she could not get past this hurdle.

Seeing Xiao Wu be so frank, Xiao Tian smiled slightly. "If I said that I discovered your true identity the first time I saw you, would you believe me? Also, I gave you time. Why didn't you choose to run away?"

"I believe you! As long as you say it, I'll believe it. I thought about it for a long time, and it was precisely because I believed you that I didn't leave Nuoding Academy. I wanted an answer. Even if I died, I would have no regrets..."

Xiao Wu closed her eyes and raised her head slightly, looking as though she were letting him do whatever he wished.

Xiao Tian: ...

Holy shit!

Was this Xiao Wu, one of the greatest love-struck fools in Douluo?

To be honest, Xiao Wu's actions had truly caught him somewhat off guard. Did she really trust him that much?

I really deserve to die!

Looking at Xiao Wu's weak, pitiful appearance, Xiao Tian felt a little heartache.

It seemed that, without realizing it, Xiao Wu had already fallen for him?

This could not be one of life's three great delusions, could it?

Subconsciously, Xiao Tian reached out and touched Xiao Wu's cheek. Smiling, he said, "You really are foolish. If I truly wanted your Soul Ring, why would I have given you time to escape? But... it's fortunate that you didn't run away."

Xiao Wu opened her eyes, somewhat confused. Were Xiao Tian's words not a little contradictory?

Xiao Tian saw Xiao Wu's confusion, but he did not say anything.

If he told her now that Tang Hao had long since discovered her identity, and that the moment she showed any intention of leaving Nuoding City, Tang Hao would definitely notice her—

Fortunately, Tang Hao was not watching Nuoding Academy at every moment. Otherwise, Xiao Tian would not even have allowed Xiao Wu to say that first sentence just now.

Once Tang Hao realized that he also knew Xiao Wu's true form, he would have no choice but to flee.

Xiao Tian wiped away Xiao Wu's tears and was almost angered into laughter.

"How had I told you all these years? I told you to focus all your attention on cultivation, but I still felt like you kept letting your thoughts run wild. What, if your guess had been wrong, would I not have been worthy of your trust? By now, I could have crippled your Soul Power and imprisoned you. Do you understand?!"

After hearing that, Xiao Wu showed no sign of reflecting on herself. Instead, she could not help but chuckle.

"But I chose correctly, didn't I?"

Xiao Tian: ...

Yes, yes, everything you said was right.

Being lovestruck was great—especially when someone was lovestruck over you. The woman could trust you unconditionally and devote everything she had to you.

Only then did Xiao Wu react. "Xiao Tian, so you knew from the very beginning that I was a hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast? That was why you guessed why I hated Spirit Hall, right?"

No wonder Xiao Tian had said those things so directly. So he had already guessed...

Xiao Tian was a little surprised. Had Xiao Wu suddenly become enlightened? Was she finally growing a brain?

Though she had guessed wrong. Hahaha.

Still, Xiao Tian went along with her. "Yes. I guessed that someone from Spirit Hall had absorbed the Soul Ring of one of your relatives or friends?"

Then Xiao Wu told Xiao Tian the entire story, from beginning to end. Xiao Tian listened very "attentively."

After a moment of silence, he finally said, "Actually, the situation may not be beyond saving. Your mother was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, after all. As long as her soul still exists, I don't think resurrection is impossible."

"What?! Is that true?!"

When Xiao Wu heard Xiao Tian say that her mother might be resurrected, she immediately grabbed his hand in excitement.

"Actually, there's something I find strange. You said you saw Bibi Dong absorb your mother's Soul Ring and Soul Bone, but how many years had you been transformed at the time? Bibi Dong was a Titled Douluo—would she really have failed to notice you hiding nearby?

"And another thing: afterward, Bibi Dong kindly buried your mother's remains. Do you think that makes sense? I think there's something suspicious about this. We need to meet Bibi Dong before we can resolve it."

Boom!

Xiao Wu immediately felt as if her mind had cleared up considerably. It really did seem as Xiao Tian had said. Bibi Dong should have noticed her back then—so why had she not captured her?

She possessed Twin Martial Souls, and at the time, she should still have had vacant Soul Ring slots...

"Enough, let's not talk about it anymore. In any case, if you want to meet Bibi Dong and see your mother in the future, you'd better cultivate diligently now. Look at you—you have the foundation of a hundred-thousand-year cultivation. Even though transforming consumed much of it, your cultivation speed still isn't slow. Yet you're somehow still falling behind me."

Xiao Wu: ...

Xiao Wu's sorrowful mood was instantly shattered by Xiao Tian's words.

"Xiao Tian! You bastard! You're such an insensitive brute! Can't you comfort me even a little?!"

Xiao Wu flew into a rage and immediately swung a right roundhouse kick at Xiao Tian's waist.

"Oh, oh, oh, you can't kick there. That concerns my lifelong happiness, you know."

Xiao Tian jumped backward and easily dodged Xiao Wu's kick.

Ah Yin heard every word of their conversation clearly from within Xiao Tian's storage soul tool. How could this be...

Could it be as Xiao Tian had said? Had Hao stayed in Nuoding City not only to secretly protect Tang San, but also to keep Xiao Wu under surveillance?

Then had she been forced to sacrifice herself to Tang Hao because of Tang Hao's scheme, just as Xiao Tian had said...

Master Yu Xiaogang's Persuasion, an Encounter with Zhu Zhuqing!

"Brother Tian, are you really going to Shrek Academy with Tang San? Who exactly is at Shrek Academy? Why do you insist on going there?"

"With our current strength, so many intermediate and even advanced Soul Master Academies have sent us invitations. Even the dean said we could consider attending an advanced academy in the Balak Kingdom. Maybe we'd even get a chance to participate in that Soul Master Tournament later on?"

"I asked around the entire academy about Shrek Academy, but nobody had even heard of it. Maybe it's some trash academy that doesn't even have proper accreditation. What benefit could it possibly bring to our cultivation?"

Xiao Wu was utterly depressed.

Wouldn't that mean the two of them would have to study alongside Tang San for several more years?

Ever since Xiao Wu had confessed her soul beast identity to Xiao Tian, their relationship had grown even closer. Xiao Wu directly acknowledged Xiao Tian as her older brother, with no intention of acting like the big sister anymore.

Xiao Tian was quite pleased with that. His training of Xiao Wu had been fairly successful. At the very least, she now knew to cultivate properly, keep a low profile, and not waste effort on meaningless matters.

Xiao Tian leaned close to Xiao Wu's ear and said, "Don't worry. Don't you trust your brother? If Master really tricked us, we can just leave when the time comes. Like you said, with our current strength, we won't have trouble finding a good advanced academy."

Xiao Tian was rather helpless as well. Once they went to Shrek Academy and Tang Hao left for good, he would finally be able to act freely.

Besides, he had his own reasons for going to Shrek Academy. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were both there.

Given the Scumbag System's nature, as long as he did something to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, he should be able to trigger a Critical Strike Reward.

Having come to the Douluo world, if he did not take a few beautiful wives, he would be letting down the fact that he had awakened his memories from his past life.

If he were not somewhat curious about Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing and wanted to meet them, who would ever go to that godforsaken Shrek Academy?

Xiao Tian considered himself a rather ordinary man. Other than swords, he liked all kinds of beautiful women.

Of course, in his previous life, he could only admire them through a screen. But now, he could get close to them—how could he possibly give up such an opportunity?

Naturally, groveling was out of the question. He would never grovel in this life.

He especially remembered the words of a great master from his previous life: Money is for women to see, not for women to spend.

In the world of Douluo, you could rely on your own strength and looks to attract someone. If you failed to attract them, then cut your losses in time.

The reason Xiao Tian had specifically made a trip to Holy Spirit Village last time was because he had this idea in mind as well. Ah Yin was an exceptionally beautiful woman in Douluo, and she even had the appeal of a married woman. Who wouldn't be excited by that?

Once Ah Yin re-formed her body after one hundred thousand years, her body would be brand new as well. Who wouldn't want that?

Fortunately, his ring Soul Tool contained a treasure given by the system that concealed one's aura, allowing Ah Yin's and the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone's auras to be completely hidden. Otherwise, he would not have acted so rashly.

After all, compared to a beauty, his own life was just as important.

At that moment, Xiao Tian saw Tang San walk out of Yu Xiaogang's office and immediately asked, "How did it go?"

Tang San was in quite a good mood and said with a smile, "Mm, I finally convinced Teacher. Teacher is willing to go to Shrek Academy with us."

"Tang San, are you sure Shrek Academy is any good? If I find out Master tricked me, just see how I'll beat you up! Even though you've obtained an External Soul Bone now, don't forget that I'm still stronger than you."

Yu Xiaogang casually packed up a few things from his office and walked out, only to hear Xiao Wu's voice outside.

"Don't worry. Shrek Academy may not be famous on the continent, but it only accepts monsters. I can tell you in advance that Shrek was founded by Flender—the one you met last time. An academy founded by a level seventy-eight Soul Sage should carry some credibility, right?"

Yu Xiaogang had not originally planned to go to Shrek Academy with Tang San and the others. After all, he had avoided Flender and Liu Erlong for so long. Because of certain things that had happened in the past, he did not want to meet either of them. He cared too much about saving face.

However, under Xiao Tian's "abuse," Tang San's strength had improved rapidly, reaching level thirty more than half a year ago.

According to his theory, the best choice for Tang San's Third Soul Ring was a Man Faced Demon Spider soul ring. Yet there were basically no Man Faced Demon Spiders in the nearby Soul Hunting Forest. If they wanted one, they could only try their luck in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Looking at the expectant expression in his disciple's eyes, Tang San's figure training desperately in order to one day defeat Xiao Tian surfaced in his mind.

He had no choice but to write a letter asking his old friend to come over. That was right—Flender.

This was the first time he had contacted Flender since disappearing for so many years.

Even if he waited another half year and sent the three of them to Shrek Academy, Flender would pay extra attention once he learned that Little San was his disciple. But Little San could not wait that long.

Thus, half a year earlier, after Flender received Yu Xiaogang's message, he immediately abandoned the academy and hurried over.
