[The Soul Clan expert saw through your intentions. Not only did he not stop you, he even revealed a strange smile!] [Your Explosive Good Luck allowed you to successfully blast a tiny crack through the Space Seal, and the message was sent out.] [But the price was that you and Xun Er were both Soul Scattered. You died.]
Ye Hao: ...
This damn self-destruction method really was killing eight hundred enemies while losing a thousand of his own!
And they had even become a pair of doomed lovebirds.
But...
For the second simulation, he had Godly Dou God Bloodline and maxed-out cultivation talent.
It could be called a god-tier opening.
And yet?
He had only gone a few stars higher than in the first simulation!
He should have laid low for a while longer!
He should have waited until he became a Dou Saint before coming out!
He had still been too confident in himself.
[The second simulation has ended.]
[Drawing rewards. Please wait...]
The rewards from the first time had been completely useless to him.
Ye Hao prayed that the second simulation's rewards
would give him something substantial, such as...
Godly Dou God Bloodline, and directly grant him peak Dou Zong strength!!
If it could!
He was willing to sacrifice his best friend's romantic fate from his previous life.
[ Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained Godly Dou God Bloodline, Seven-star Da Dou Shi cultivation, and one Qi Gathering Powder!]
Ye Hao abruptly rose to his feet!
Ecstasy filled his face!
With Godly Dou God Bloodline, as long as nothing unexpected happened, becoming a Dou Saint was guaranteed!
With a little more effort, even becoming a Nine-star late Dou Saint was not impossible!
With such strength, he could not only open up a world of his own, but also become a powerful figure in his own right!
Even if Hun Tiandi saw him!
he would not dare act too presumptuously!
The next second!
he felt as if something had ignited the blood within his body.
Something seemed to evaporate from inside him.
Immediately afterward, a warm current suddenly emerged from his dantian and instantly surged through all four limbs and every bone.
To his shock, he discovered that a trace of Dou Qi was actually beginning to circulate within his body!
That wisp of Dou Qi grew madly like bamboo shoots after the rain!
His realm also rose as though energy were being poured directly into him!
Dou Qi first stage, Dou Qi second stage, Dou Qi third stage...
Dou Zhe...
Dou Master...
Da Dou Shi...
In the end, it stopped at Seven-star Da Dou Shi!
Ye Hao clenched his fist.
"So this is the strength of a Seven-star Da Dou Shi."
Bang!
With a raised hand and a single palm strike, he smashed the table before him into pieces!
Ye Hao grew even more satisfied.
Just then.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
Outside, next door, vicious pounding sounded against a door.
The door seemed as though it were about to collapse from the blows!
"Open up!"
"It's time to pay this month's rent!"
Then came the sound of someone crying.
"Young Master Galeo, you only raised the rent last month. You're raising it again this month, and it's still one hundred Gold Coins. I really don't have that much money. Please show some mercy and stop raising it."
The old man knelt on the ground and begged.
Galeo folded his arms, tilted up his chin, and ignored him.
"If you have no money, then get lost! My Gale Family isn't a charity hall. If you can't pay, there are plenty of others who will rent it!!"
"What are you standing around for? He can't pay the rent, so why haven't you thrown him out yet?!"
Galeo ordered.
Two mercenaries stepped forward and reached for the old man kneeling on the ground.
At that moment, a voice rang out.
"Wait!"
Several people turned to look.
They saw the door of the Blacksmith Shop beside them open.
Ye Hao walked out.
Galeo plopped down onto the back of a servant lying prone on the ground.
He said coldly:
"You came at just the right time. Pay this month's rent too. One thousand Gold Coins!"
The original rent for Ye Hao's Blacksmith Shop had been two hundred Gold Coins.
It had now increased by eight hundred Gold Coins.
That was equivalent to nearly two months of Ye Hao's income.
The reason Galeo had suddenly raised Ye Hao's rent was that Ye Hao was already poor as a beggar!
Yet he still dared step forward and meddle in someone else's business!
Was he tired of living?
Likewise, Galeo had raised it so much because he was certain Ye Hao would never give up the Blacksmith Shop that had been passed down through generations!
He could only tighten his belt and hand over this exorbitant rent!
However!
After Ye Hao helped the old man up,
he said, "Uncle Zhang, don't rent this shop anymore. I'll help you rent a storefront near the Miter Auction House. They won't raise prices arbitrarily either."
Ever since his father had disappeared, Zhang San had always taken good care of him.
Especially during the beginning!
When he had no money to pay rent, Zhang San had even advanced it for him!
During those hardest days, if not for the help of his neighbors,
Ye Hao likely would not have endured until now.
Zhang San looked up at Ye Hao, feeling that today's Ye Hao seemed like a completely different person.
His entire body carried an aura that Zhang San found difficult to describe.
With him here, Zhang San actually felt inexplicably at ease.
Zhang San shook his head and refused. "Little Hao, storefronts at the Miter Auction House are too expensive. How could I possibly afford one? Uncle Zhang appreciates your kindness."
"Don't worry. No matter how much it costs, I'll pay for you. Just focus on running your little shop," Ye Hao said with a smile.
"No, no."
"Then it's settled."
The two of them began pushing the matter back and forth as though no one else were there.
"You're not renting anymore, is that it?"
Seeing this, Galeo felt that he, a dignified young master and a Dou Zhe, was actually being ignored. Furious, he stood up.
He roared at the guards:
"What are you still standing around for? Throw all their things out for me!!"
"Yes!"
The mercenaries were just about to act.
Ye Hao shouted coldly, "I'd like to see who dares!!"
There were still ten days left on the lease.
"Hahaha, kid, do you really think you're someone important? Do you even know your own worth?"
Galeo laughed wildly, shooting Ye Hao a contemptuous look.
"What are you waiting for? Do it! If he dares stop you, break his legs!!"
Today, he had encountered Xun Er at the Market and wanted to invite her to stroll around with him.
But she had rejected him without mercy!
He had been worrying over having nowhere to vent his anger!
Now he could vent it all on Ye Hao!
The mercenaries were just about to make their move!
But Ye Hao was faster!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
In just a few moves, Ye Hao knocked five or six mercenaries to the ground!
Looking at his subordinates crying and howling in pain on the ground,
a bead of cold sweat appeared on Galeo's forehead.
"Y-you-you..."
"There are still ten days left on the lease. Are you trying to break the contract?!"
"Fine, fine, fine! Ye, just you wait. In Wu Tan City, anyone who dares oppose my Gale Family hasn't even been born yet!"
After leaving behind that threat, he tried to run!
Ye Hao leaped up and landed in front of Galeo.
"You think you can leave after acting tough? It won't be that easy!!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped him several times!
Slap! Slap! Slap...
Galeo's face instantly swelled up like a bloody steamed bun, and several teeth were knocked out.
"If you refuse to accept this, have Galeo Bi come find me. I'll be waiting anytime!"
Galeo covered his bun-like bloody cheek, and his eyes cleared.
"Get lost!!"
Galeo turned and ran.
Zhang San looked at Ye Hao in shock!
"Little Hao, when did you become so powerful?"
"Uncle Zhang, before my parents passed away, they told me not to reveal myself until I had the ability to protect myself, lest I bring about my own death. So... I'm sorry, and thank you for taking care of me all these years."
Ye Hao hid the matter of the system and came up with a more reasonable explanation.
Zhang San came to a realization.
After returning to Zhang San's shop,
Ye Hao took out some Gold Coins. "Uncle Zhang, here are ten thousand Gold Coins. Keep them safe."
Zhang San hurriedly waved his hands. "No, no, no, I can't take this."
Ye Hao deliberately put on a stern face. "Uncle Zhang, if you don't accept it, I'll get angry."
After much back-and-forth refusal,
Zhang San truly had no choice but to accept it for the time being.
Afterward, Ye Hao prepared to use up his final simulation chance before going to the Miter Auction House to rent a storefront.
As for the Blacksmith Shop, although it had been passed down from his father's generation, he had no intention of continuing to run it!!
With a system, he could defy fate and change his destiny. Only an idiot would keep forging iron.
