Star Dou Great Forest
A youth dressed in simple, plain clothing struggled to climb up from the ground, exhaling a breath as he gazed at the lifeless corpse behind him.
"There are thousands of gamblers in this world, and I am just a step ahead of you." Li Qingxuan walked shakily to the side of the soul beast's carcass, stepped onto its head, and let out a soft chuckle.
Hunting this beast was truly no easy feat.
This place was already the safest spot, and it was time to sit down and absorb the soul ring; a yellow, century-level soul ring was not something easily obtained!
He had nearly lost his own life.
The youth was named Li Qingxuan, who had originally been sitting on his bed playing a video game, having just cleared a title he had spent two hundred hours on.
A line of text suddenly popped up in the game's chat feed.
"Congratulations on clearing the game. We hope you can be just as heroic in clearing the games to come!"
"Young man, immersed in the experience, you no longer have the ten thousand trial-and-error attempts from the outside world. You only have one life. Can you truly clear it?"
"Forge ahead!"
As a gaming enthusiast, he couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled by the sudden appearance of this text.
Carrying that confusion, a white light flashed across the screen, and he transmigrated to the Douluo Continent.
He became an infant, adopted by a kind-hearted grandfather who happened to pass by.
This was the place where all dreams began before Tang San became a god, the starting point for clearing the game.
During this period, without any cheats, he had been thinking about how to survive.
At age six, he awakened the Eternal Sun Wheel martial soul, which everyone deemed a trash martial soul, but his grandfather urged him to cultivate to level ten.
After enduring great hardships to reach level ten, he had intended to share the good news with the old man, only for the old man to suddenly urge him to run away as fast as he could.
He dared not hesitate and left the village overnight; that very night, the village echoed with successive screams, and it was wiped out almost entirely in a single night.
When he finally managed to inquire about it, he learned it was the work of a powerful bandit group that had taken a fancy to a holy relic within the village.
However, these bandits were extremely cunning and shrewd, and the people of the Heaven Dou Empire could not find them at all.
In this life, he had finally found a home, yet in the blink of an eye... everything was gone.
"No matter what, once I am strong enough, I will avenge you."
Just as Li Qingxuan prepared to absorb the soul ring, a roar suddenly rang out.
A mother wolf, appearing remarkably similar to the soul beast at his feet, charged out. When the mother wolf saw the corpse beneath him, her eyes immediately turned blood-red with fury.
"Don't tell me I killed her son. It couldn't be that coincidental, could it?"
"She must have tracked the scent here."
"Am I about to kick the bucket?"
Just as he was backed into a corner with nowhere to run, a system notification suddenly rang out in his mind.
[Ding! Detected that the host is in mortal danger. Specifically rewarding the host with a cheat: Nine Yang Divine Skill + Douluo Lottery Card]
[Task complete! Reward issued: Nine Yang Divine Skill (Complete Version) automatically instilled. Adapted for Light-type martial souls, no cultivation bottlenecks.]
[Nine Yang Divine Skill effect: Tempering the body and forging the soul, amplifying the power of light, immunity to water and fire, soul power recovery speed doubled, can be fused with the Eternal Sun Wheel.]
[Would you like to draw a prize now?]
"Draw! Draw right now!"
I'm about to die, and you're asking if I want to draw? Isn't that a waste of breath?
Even with the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he couldn't kill the mother wolf in front of him.
Suddenly, a roulette wheel appeared before his eyes, spinning continuously before finally stopping in the golden zone.
"Gold, who could it be?"
[Congratulations to the host for drawing the level 95 Super Douluo, Ye Guyi.]
[Descending immediately!]
[Douluo Auxiliary System, assisting you at every moment to reach the pinnacle of life!]
At this moment, the mother wolf had already charged in front of Li Qingxuan, and just as she was about to bite down.
A golden light descended, and a cold voice emanated from within.
"Scum, how dare you harm the Young Master!"
"BOOM!"
The earth shook and the mountains swayed as a slash was unleashed, splitting the mother wolf directly in two.
Ye Guyi stepped out from the golden light.
She had dazzling long golden hair and a near-perfect oval face; beneath her high-bridged nose were thin, crimson lips, and her brows held a sense of sacred, inviolable sternness.
Her figure was tall and graceful, her shoulders and back lines were clean, her waist was slender yet not frail, her legs were long and straight, and her skin was a near-translucent snow-white, glowing with a healthy luster.
She wore a golden battle dress, the hem short, revealing a pair of straight, long legs.
Behind her, the Sacred Angel manifested, its six wings unfurling and wreathed in holy light, making her appear like a true angel descended from the heavens.
Is this really Ye Guyi?
A level 95 Super Douluo; with her assistance, why would I ever worry about failing to obtain a soul ring!
"Young Master, are you alright?" Ye Guyi asked with concern.
Ye Guyi's display of genuine emotion caught Li Qingxuan off guard for a moment.
"I am fine, thank you for your help!"
"Young Master, you are too formal. This is merely what Guyi should do. I imagine you must be troubled by the task of obtaining your first soul ring right now!"
"Guyi will take you to find a suitable soul beast."
As Ye Guyi led Li Qingxuan to search the nearby area for a suitable soul beast, Li Qingxuan explained the current situation to her.
"Young Master, this is the Douluo Continent from ten thousand years ago?" Ye Guyi asked, somewhat astonished.
Does that not mean that the ancestor of my Sacred Angel martial soul, the Six-winged Angel, has not yet completely faded into history!
"Correct, this is the Douluo of ten thousand years ago. The so-called Shrek Academy is not yet what it would become during the Tang Sect era ten thousand years later."
Ye Guyi nodded, then asked with concern, "Then, Young Master, is the Martial Soul Hall truly as the history books describe?"
"History is always written by the victors. They always beautify certain figures rather than telling the truth."
"The Tang Sect, and even Tang San, who held the dual god positions of Sea God and Asura, were not such perfect people. In fact, the rampant spread of Evil Soul Masters ten thousand years later is partly his doing."
"Does that mean I will be able to see the truth!" Ye Guyi's eyes lit up.
"Naturally, there is a chance, and a very good one at that. Once we finish hunting the soul beast, I will take you to see what Tang San was like at six years old."
Ye Guyi became instantly excited. "Then what kind of soul ring does the Young Master wish to obtain? With my strength, it will be effortless; I could even hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
"I cannot absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring yet. Let us hunt a thousand-year Sacred Light Eagle!"
With the enhancement of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, absorbing a thousand-year soul ring should not be a difficult task.
"A thousand years? Young Master, I recall that in this era, the limit for a first soul ring is just over four hundred years. Is a thousand years not inappropriate?" Ye Guyi looked troubled.
This was an extremely risky endeavor.
"I have confidence."
"It is good for the Young Master to have confidence, but one cannot be blindly overconfident." Ye Guyi spoke with the mindset of an older sister teaching a younger brother.
Without any external bonuses or blessings bestowed by gods, one absolutely must not take such a risk.
"Ye Guyi, stop talking. Why are you acting like a teacher?"
Li Qingxuan covered his ears, choosing to tune out her words. His physique had been enhanced; hunting a soul beast of around a thousand years was perfectly safe.
