The synopsis isn't doing it justice. Skip ahead to the story.
Lan Minghua transmigrated to Douluo Continent and awakened the Disciple Recruitment System.
Only by taking in geniuses with a System Talent Score above 80 could he find disciples who would crush so-called prodigies their own age.
His first disciple, Oscar, was a combat-oriented Support Soul Master.
His second disciple, Zhu Zhuqing, was an agile Soul Master who specialized in assassination.
Tang San and Dai Mubai were consumed by envy and hatred. Unable to beat Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing themselves, they sent people to ambush and kill the two and their companions.
In the end, even the gods of the Divine Realm meddled in Human World affairs.
At that moment, a streak of white light shot into the sky and soared beyond Heaven's Gate, facing the gods head-on.
Lan Minghua alone made the gods in the heavens afraid to cross Heaven's Gate by even a hair's breadth.
Looking down at his disciples, he spoke like a tolling bell, and everyone on the continent heard his bold declaration.
"I've reached the other side of Heaven's Gate. Fight to your hearts' content. I'd like to ask the gods above: who dares come to this Human World?"
"Damn it! You little brat, where the hell have you brought me? Is this still China? Huh?!"
Lan Minghua stared in confusion at the dense forest around him. Not far away stood a fairly prosperous city with a Western fantasy aesthetic.
In short, everything felt completely unfamiliar.
"Wasn't I riding the elevator up to the eighteenth floor, then got hit by a truck that came out of nowhere? I closed my eyes, opened them, and somehow ended up here."
As Lan Minghua wondered what was going on, a sudden pain shot through his head. A flood of memories filled his mind, leaving him in agony.
After a while, the pain finally subsided.
"A Soul Master? The city in front of me is called Suotuo City?! Did I... transmigrate? And not just anywhere, but to the Fantasy Underworld that is Douluo Continent?!"
Lan Minghua had these memories because his soul had transmigrated into another body.
He had taken over the body of a beggar on Douluo Continent who shared his name, inheriting all of the beggar's memories.
Only after going through them all did Lan Minghua believe that he had really transmigrated.
It made sense. Western fantasy-style buildings were rare on Earth, but they were everywhere here.
Lan Minghua grimaced as he realized from the memories that it was still the Douluo Continent Season 1 era.
The original owner of this body was a good-for-nothing with no Soul Power, not even a Soul Master, who spent every day scraping by.
Evil Soul Masters were rare in Douluo Continent Season 1, but Little Scumbag and the love-struck fools would spark a war. When that happened, he'd be the one to suffer.
Even if Douluo Continent was the Fantasy Underworld, it still had the word "fantasy" in it.
Lan Minghua calmed down and began thinking about how he was going to survive. Then a mechanical voice rang out in his mind.
[Beep. Loading Disciple Recruitment System... Loading complete.]
A system?!
So those novels hadn't lied to him!
But when Lan Minghua saw the words "Disciple Recruitment System," the corner of his mouth still twitched.
Damn it, I'm not even a Soul Master. How am I supposed to take on disciples?!
And I don't have the gift of gab to sweet-talk or trick anyone into it!
Still, the system could create endless possibilities. There was no need to panic.
"System, are you there?"
[Beep. I'm here, Host.]
Hearing the system's rather humanlike voice, Lan Minghua grew excited and asked, "System, tell me what you can do."
[Beep. This is the Disciple Recruitment System. Take in geniuses with a System Talent Score of 80 or higher to unlock the Master Teacher title.]
[Once you unlock the Master Teacher title, you can earn Master Teacher Points as your disciples grow under your guidance.]
[Master Teacher Points can be used to draw anything from the myriad worlds, including but not limited to characters, weapons, cultivation techniques, and items.]
After hearing the explanation, Lan Minghua understood how the system worked.
Simply put, he had to take in geniuses with a System Talent Score of 80 or higher to earn Master Teacher Points, which he could use to draw things from the myriad worlds.
"If I draw the Ten Fiends' Divine Arts, wouldn't I be able to crush Douluo Continent?"
But it was easier said than done.
Lan Minghua was just an ordinary person. How was he supposed to take in geniuses with a System Talent Score of 80 or higher?
The thought left him smiling bitterly.
The system seemed to sense Lan Minghua's mood and understand his predicament. It was remarkably humanlike.
[Beep. The Beginner's Gift Pack has been delivered. Open it now?]
"Open it. Hurry!" Lan Minghua had almost forgotten about the Beginner's Gift Pack.
[Beep. Congratulations, Host. You have received the Eight Wonders' Divine Machine Hundred Refinements. Congratulations, Host. You have received the Wretched Fate Hua Role-Playing Card.]
"Divine Machine Hundred Refinements from the Eight Wonders? That makes sense. But what's with the Wretched Fate Hua Role-Playing Card? System, aren't you a Disciple Recruitment System?"
[Beep. No need to be surprised, Host. I snatched this from the Role-Playing System next door. Don't worry, it has no side effects.]
Lan Minghua was speechless. His system seemed pretty powerful.
He had no objections to the system's explanation.
Wretched Fate Hua might only be the leader of the Heavenly Dragon Gang in Scissor Seven, but he was still incredibly powerful by Fantasy Underworld standards.
Lan Minghua was helpless as things stood, so playing Wretched Fate Hua was undoubtedly the easiest way to grow stronger.
"System, use the Role-Playing Card and show me my stats."
[Host: Lan Minghua.]
[Age: 24.]
[Template: Wretched Fate Hua.]
[Roleplay Progress: 30%]
[Moves: Diamond Palm, Dragon Claw Hand, Golden Bell Shield, Chrysanthemum Acupoint Finger, Heaven and Earth, Dragon King Supreme...]
[Current Overall Strength: Soul Saint.]
[Items: None.]
[Disciples: None.]
[Master Teacher Points: 0.]
[Storage Bag: Divine Machine Hundred Refinements (not yet learned).]
Lan Minghua looked at the panel and felt the steady flow of power inside him. At last, he let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding.
He hadn't expected that even at just 30% Roleplay Progress, the Wretched Fate Hua template would grant him the strength of a Soul Saint.
If he reached 100%, wouldn't even the God Kings of Douluo Continent's Divine Realm be no match for him?!
And he could take on disciples to earn Master Teacher Points, which he could use to draw items from across the myriad worlds.
If he got incredibly lucky and drew the Ten Fiends' Divine Arts, wouldn't he be unstoppable?
At the thought, Lan Minghua's hopes for the future soared.
Now that he had the strength of a Soul Saint, he didn't need to worry about finding geniuses with a System Talent Score of 80.
Lan Minghua suddenly remembered that he hadn't learned Divine Machine Hundred Refinements yet.
As one of the Eight Wonders from One Person World, Divine Machine Hundred Refinements needed no introduction.
Not only could it craft magical artifacts with great efficiency, it could also transform and manipulate objects in a short time.
Magical artifacts were the equivalent of Soul Tools on Douluo Continent.
And if he could draw Both Hands as well, he could use it with Divine Machine Hundred Refinements to create the Body Refining Furnace.
Wouldn't that let everyone become a Soul Master?!
Lan Minghua was very pleased with Divine Machine Hundred Refinements. It was incredibly practical.
"System, teach me Divine Machine Hundred Refinements."
[Beep. Beginning instruction: introductory, minor mastery, major mastery, perfection.]
