Star Dou Great Forest
A plainly dressed young man struggled to his feet from the ground. Looking at the corpses behind him, he let out a breath.
"There are countless gamblers in this world, but I'm just a cut above the rest." Li Qingxuan staggered over to the Soul Beast's corpse, planted his foot on its head, and gave a soft laugh.
Hunting this beast had truly not been easy.
This was already the safest place. It was time to sit down and absorb the Soul Ring. A yellow Hundred-Year Soul Ring was not easy to come by!
He had nearly lost his life.
The young man's name was Li Qingxuan. Originally, he had been sitting on his bed playing a video game, having just cleared a game that had taken him two hundred hours to complete.
A line of text suddenly popped up in the game's scrolling comments.
"Congratulations on clearing the game. I hope you can bravely clear the next game as well!"
"Young man, once you're truly immersed in it, you won't have ten thousand chances to make mistakes like you did outside. You only have one life. Can you really clear it?"
"March forward bravely!"
As a gaming enthusiast, he had naturally been somewhat confused by the sudden message.
Carrying that confusion, he watched a flash of white light sweep across the screen, and then he had transmigrated to Douluo Continent.
He became an infant and was adopted by a kind old man passing by.
Before Tang San became a god, at the place where every dream began—the starting point for clearing the game.
At that point in time, without any cheats, he had been wondering how he could survive.
When he was six, he awakened the Eternal Sun Wheel Martial Soul. Everyone thought it was a useless Martial Soul, but his grandfather urged him to cultivate until he reached level ten.
After enduring countless hardships to cultivate to level ten, he had planned to tell the old man the good news, only for the old man to suddenly urge him to run.
He did not dare hesitate and left the village overnight. That very night, continuous screams came from the village, and it was almost completely massacred in a single night.
When he later tried to investigate, he learned that it had been the work of a powerful bandit group that had set its sights on the village's sacred relic.
However, those bandits were exceptionally clever and cunning. The people of the Heaven Dou Empire could not find them at all.
He had finally gained a family in this life, yet in the blink of an eye... there was nothing left.
"No matter what, once I become strong enough, I'll avenge you."
Just as Li Qingxuan was preparing to absorb the Soul Ring, a sudden howl rang out.
A mother wolf almost identical to the Soul Beast beneath his feet charged out. The moment it saw the corpse at his feet, it flew into a rage, its eyes turning blood-red.
"Don't tell me the one I killed was her son. It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?"
"She tracked me here by scent."
"Am I really about to kick the bucket?"
Just as there was nowhere left for him to retreat, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Detected that the host is in mortal danger. A cheat package has been specially awarded: Nine Yang Divine Skill + Douluo Lottery Card.] [Task complete! Reward issued: Nine Yang Divine Skill (complete version) automatically infused, compatible with the Light Martial Soul, no cultivation bottlenecks.] [Nine Yang Divine Skill effects: tempers the body and refines the soul, amplifies the power of light, immune to water and fire, doubles Soul Power recovery speed, and can merge with Eternal Sun Wheel Soul Power.] [Draw now?]
"Draw! Draw now!"
I'm about to kick the bucket, and it's still asking whether I want to draw? What kind of stupid question is that?
Even with the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he still could not kill the mother wolf before him.
Suddenly, a roulette wheel appeared before his eyes. It spun continuously before finally stopping on a golden section.
"Gold? Who could it be?"
[Congratulations, host. You have drawn level 95 Super Douluo Ye Guyi.] [She will descend immediately!] [The Douluo Auxiliary System will assist you at all times in reaching the pinnacle of life!]
At that moment, the mother wolf had already charged before Li Qingxuan and was about to bite down.
A beam of golden light descended, and a cold voice emerged from within it.
"Trash, don't you dare harm the Young Master!"
"Boom!"
The earth shook and the mountains trembled. A slash flashed out, cleaving the mother wolf directly in half.
Ye Guyi stepped out of the golden light.
She had dazzling long golden hair and an almost perfect oval face. Beneath her high nose bridge were crimson lips, while her eyes and brows carried an inviolable, sacred majesty.
Her figure was tall and graceful, her shoulders and back sleekly defined, and her slender waist was anything but frail. Her legs were long and straight, while her skin was nearly translucent and snow-white, glowing with healthy radiance.
She wore a golden battle dress with a short skirt that exposed her pair of straight, long legs.
Behind her, the Sacred Angel's six wings spread wide. Holy light curled around her, making her seem like a true angel descending into the world.
So this was Ye Guyi?
A level 95 Super Douluo. With her help, why would he need to worry about obtaining Soul Rings?
"Young Master, are you all right?" Ye Guyi asked with concern.
Ye Guyi's sincere concern made Li Qingxuan feel somewhat unaccustomed to it for a moment.
"I'm fine. Thank you for helping me!"
"Young Master, you are too kind. This is what Guyi should do. Right now, you should be troubled over acquiring your first Soul Ring, correct?"
"Guyi will take you to find a suitable Soul Ring."
Ye Guyi took Li Qingxuan to search nearby for suitable Soul Beasts. Along the way, Li Qingxuan explained the current situation to her.
"Young Master, this is Douluo Continent from ten thousand years ago?" Ye Guyi was rather surprised.
Did that not mean that the ancestor of her Sacred Angel Martial Soul, the Six-winged Angel, had not yet completely vanished from her lineage?
"That's right. This is Douluo from ten thousand years ago. The so-called Shrek Academy isn't like it was during the Tang Sect era ten thousand years later."
Ye Guyi nodded, then asked with concern, "Then, Young Master, is Spirit Hall really as history records it?"
"History is always written by the victors. They always embellish certain figures; it does not necessarily tell the truth."
"The Tang Sect's Tang San, who possessed both the Sea God and Asura divine positions, was not such a perfect person either. In fact, the rampant Evil Soul Masters ten thousand years later also had something to do with him."
"Then doesn't that mean I can see the truth?" Ye Guyi's eyes lit up.
"Of course. Not only is there a chance, the chance is quite high. Once we finish hunting the Soul Beast, I'll take you to see what Tang San looked like when he was six."
Ye Guyi immediately became excited. "Then what kind of Soul Ring does the Young Master want? With Guyi's strength, it will be easy. I can even hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
"I can't absorb a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Let's hunt a thousand-year Sacred Light Eagle."
With the boost from the Nine Yang Divine Skill, absorbing a thousand-year Soul Ring should not be too difficult.
"A thousand years? Young Master, as I recall, in the era ten thousand years ago, the limit for a first Soul Ring was only a little over four hundred years. Isn't a thousand years inappropriate?" Ye Guyi looked troubled.
This was an extremely risky matter.
"I'm confident."
"It's good for the Young Master to be confident, but sometimes you cannot be blindly confident." Ye Guyi lectured him with the air of an older sister.
There were no enhancements of any kind, nor any blessings bestowed by gods. He absolutely could not take such a risk.
"Ye Guyi, stop talking. Why are you acting like a teacher?"
Li Qingxuan covered his ears, choosing to block out her words. His physique had been enhanced, so hunting a Soul Beast around a thousand years old was very safe.
