Batman Template at the Start, but Douluo Continent

"Damn, that fast?"

Shock appeared on Lin Chen's young face. After the mechanical snake was crushed, the resulting vibrations left his ears ringing.

"This young master's device is pure electronic technology. There wasn't any Soul Power or spiritual power added to it. How was it discovered?"

Although Lin Chen was shocked after being discovered, there was no panic on his face.

This saved him the trouble of making the trip himself. He had needed to talk face-to-face anyway.

The reason he had given Di Tian advance notice was because he feared that, upon seeing a human boy appear before them, those ferocious beasts might not be able to resist crushing him outright.

Now that Di Tian had come looking for him on his own, no matter what, it gave them an opportunity to talk.

At the very least, before Di Tian figured out how he had placed the mechanical snake in their core area and how much classified information he had gathered, he could not possibly kill him directly.

That meant there was room for negotiation.

And Lin Chen was confident that once Di Tian heard the terms of the deal, he would definitely agree.

The reason he was doing this was because he had truly run out of options.

Either he failed and got killed by Di Tian, or he lived a humiliating life as an ordinary person in this world.

This was not a multiple-choice question, but a true-or-false question, so he decisively chose the correct answer.

He was going to gamble.

Win, and he would own a seaside villa. Lose, and he would meet everyone on the rooftop.

Maybe he could even start over again.

After all, he had already started over once.

Lin Chen was not from the Douluo Continent. He had transmigrated here from Blue Star, and six years had passed since then.

As a transmigrator, he naturally came with a cheat ability.

He had known that ever since he was born.

His cheat ability was called Transcendent Reproduction. After arriving in this world, it had been assimilated by its laws and transformed into a martial soul.

For every soul ring he absorbed, he could contract a ten-thousand-year soul beast with a powerful bloodline and grant that soul beast the ability of Transcendent Reproduction.

Once a soul beast possessed Transcendent Reproduction, no matter how powerful its bloodline was or how difficult it was for it to bear offspring, mating with it would result in pregnancy in one shot, allowing the soul beast to bear his descendants. Even the strongest dragon clans would take no more than half a year to gestate and hatch under the effects of Transcendent Reproduction.

As long as a soul beast was born through his Transcendent Reproduction ability, it would contribute some Soul Power to him and help raise his cultivation.

And the abilities of the Transcendent Reproduction cheat went far beyond that.

Although the soul beasts born through Transcendent Reproduction could not inherit the ability of Transcendent Reproduction, they could possess the talent of Extraordinary Growth. As long as they continuously devoured energy, they could become hundred-year, thousand-year, ten-thousand-year, or even hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in an extremely short time.

That was what was truly awesome.

But when he learned that this was the era of Legend of the Dragon King, he was dumbfounded.

Soul beasts were nearly extinct in this era. Where could he find ten-thousand-year soul beasts?

The Spirit Pagoda did have soul beasts raised by humans, but they were at most thousand-year level.

Besides, he did not even know what their bloodlines were like.

Only soul beasts with exceptionally top-tier bloodlines could form contracts with him and become part of his martial soul.

It would have been bad enough if he could not find the most top-tier soul beasts to contract with. Yet even if he successfully contracted a soul beast with a powerful bloodline and granted it the ability of Transcendent Reproduction, there would not be enough soul beasts for it to mate with and produce offspring.

This gave Lin Chen a terrible headache.

When he was five, his parents were plotted against because of the various formulas he had "accidentally" developed.

The culprit was none other than the master of the Spirit Pagoda in Eastsea City.

His family's Mixue Ice Cream & Tea, Luckin Coffee, Lao Gan Die, and Haidilao had spread throughout all of Eastsea City in just three years and had even begun expanding into the surrounding areas.

Because they held the core formulas and had no competitors whatsoever, their development had been unstoppable.

Their daily profits were even several times higher than those of the Eastsea City Spirit Pagoda. How could that not make them jealous?

In the Spirit Pagoda's eyes, they were already practically robbing people of their money, yet someone else had appeared who was even better at it than they were.

At most, they could harvest money from soul masters, but Lin Chen's Lin Clan could harvest money from everyone, including ordinary people and soul masters.

The Lin Clan had become the richest family in Eastsea in only a few years. One evening, while Lin Chen's parents were taking him on a walk, they unexpectedly encountered a desperate criminal and were stabbed several times. They died from their wounds.

They left behind only him, a five-year-old child.

But how could the Spirit Pagoda have known how deeply his parents loved him?

Since all the secret formulas had supposedly been accidentally developed by him, the so-called child prodigy, his parents had placed all the shares of the Lin Clan Group under his name.

By the time the Spirit Pagoda found out, the regretful Lin Chen had already licensed every formula to several major federations.

He only charged part of the franchise fees and sold them raw materials.

With that move, he completely crushed the Spirit Pagoda's ambitions.

Of course Lin Chen knew why the Spirit Pagoda needed so much money. They amassed wealth through spirit souls, then later introduced the Spirit Ascension Platform and Beast Platform, all to make money like mad.

It was to fulfill their ambition of seizing the world.

He had been too foolish, foolish enough to expose such terrifying moneymaking ability without having sufficient strength.

He had indirectly caused his parents' deaths.

That was why he hated the Spirit Pagoda to the bone. He had to obtain enough strength to overturn everything.

The Spirit Pagoda probably believed he was merely a child of a few years old, incapable of stirring up any trouble.

But the Qian Gu Clan had no idea what kind of madman they had provoked.

He dared to come to the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest and gamble his life against the Beast God Di Tian. Succeed or die trying. For the Spirit Pagoda to provoke him was like kicking an iron plate!

While Lin Chen's thoughts ran wild, the ground suddenly shook violently. The dirt pit he had hastily dug collapsed in an instant. As he frantically dodged the flying sand and rocks, an invisible giant hand descended from the sky and dug him out, body and soil together.

Lin Chen quickly saw a pitch-black figure. It was none other than the Beast God, Di Tian!

The two stared wide-eyed at each other, both utterly shocked.

Di Tian had not expected his locked-on target to be so young.

He immediately unleashed all his spiritual power to scan the surroundings. The immense spiritual force was practically tangible, pressing down on Lin Chen until he could barely breathe. Yet no matter how Di Tian searched, there was no trace of anyone else nearby!

"Were you the one who spoke with me just now?"

Lin Chen wore the expression of a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.

"That's right. Beast God Di Tian, I was the one who spoke to you just now. I never expected that even without any fluctuations of Soul Power or spiritual power, you could still find my location. Just how did you find me? I truly can't figure it out!"

"Hehehehe! I, the Beast God Di Tian, have fallen so low that even a mere six-year-old human child dares to provoke me. What a disgrace! What a disgrace!"
