The Full-Time Magician World, Huaxia, West Lake.
Three-year-old Dongfang Chen was playing in a pavilion with his uncle.
Just then,
Dongfang Chen suddenly froze in the middle of playing.
The childlike smile vanished from his face.
Dongfang Chen remembered his past life.
He was a transmigrator, born into this life, and had only just awakened his memories from his previous one.
At the same time, a chatty, mature-sounding mechanical voice rang in his ears.
[The host has awakened memories of a past life. System activated. Congratulations, host, on transmigrating to the Battle Through the Heavens world...]
Dongfang Chen was thrilled to have awakened a system, but then he suddenly stopped.
"Wait! System, are you sure I transmigrated to the Dou Qi Continent from Battle Through the Heavens?"
Dongfang Chen glanced at West Lake in front of him, then at the city's high-rises in the distance.
If his memories of his previous life were right, the Dou Qi Continent had neither West Lake nor modern skyscrapers.
Though this body was only three years old, he could still recognize the world around him.
His name was Dongfang Chen, and he had been born into the Dongfang Family, a Magic Family in Hangzhou.
There was no Dou Qi here, no Wutan City, and certainly no Xiao Family or Xiao Yan.
But this world had magic, Mages, and Demons.
Taking all of this into account, how could this be anything but the Full-Time Magician world? What the heck was the Dou Qi Continent?
[System scanning again... Scan complete. This world is indeed the Dou Qi Continent!]
The system sounded so certain that Dongfang Chen began to doubt himself.
Wait, did that mean the Dou Qi Continent really was a modern world?
No, that couldn't be right. Even if the Dou Qi Continent was modern, how did magic and Demons fit in?
Just then, Dongfang Chen heard his uncle, Dongfang Mo, speak.
"Chen'er, why are you spacing out? Didn't you just ask your uncle to show you some magic?"
Dongfang Mo smiled at his nephew, Dongfang Chen.
Dongfang Chen's parents had died not long after he was born, so his uncle had practically raised him single-handedly.
Dongfang Mo was unmarried and had no children, so he treated his nephew almost like his own son.
Dongfang Mo's voice brought Dongfang Chen back to his senses.
He looked at his uncle, put on a childlike smile, and said, "Sure, Uncle! Show me your Fire Magic!"
Dongfang Mo smiled and opened his palm. A ball of scorching flame appeared in it at once.
"Fire Spark—Burn!"
Dongfang Mo threw the flame into the lake.
The scorching fire met the water, and a vast cloud of steam billowed up.
"Heh heh, that was Primary Fire Magic. High-Level Magic is too powerful, so your uncle won't show it to you."
Dongfang Mo smiled and ruffled Dongfang Chen's hair.
Dongfang Chen pretended to be excited, clapping happily for his uncle's display of magic.
At the same time, he challenged the system in his mind. "System, take a good look. That was clearly Fire Magic. I must have transmigrated to the Full-Time Magician world!"
[Incorrect. This person used Fire Attribute Dou Qi. The host should face reality!]
Who was the one who couldn't tell reality from fantasy?!
Dongfang Chen was seething inwardly.
He might not understand Dou Qi, but he had clearly heard his uncle say "Fire Spark—Burn."
That was clearly Fire Element Low-Tier Level 1 Magic!
Damn it! This system was probably broken.
"Fine. System, tell me what you can do."
[This system will do everything in its power to help the host rise above everyone else! The host only needs to meet characters from the Original Work and change the plot to earn rewards.]
"Characters from the Original Work? Change the plot?"
Dongfang Chen's eyes widened.
He was in the Full-Time Magician world. How was he supposed to meet characters from Battle Through the Heavens or change its plot?
Forget it. He was tired. Let it all burn.
After touring West Lake, he returned home.
Dongfang Chen sat alone in his room and reluctantly checked the system again.
"System, scan again. This really isn't the Dou Qi Continent."
"Scanning... scanning... scanning again... Confirmed. This is the Dou Qi Continent!"
"Right... So, do you have a Novice Gift Pack?"
Dongfang Chen asked weakly in his mind.
Even if he couldn't complete the system's missions, getting a Novice Gift Pack would make this less of a loss.
[Beep. This system has prepared a Novice Gift Pack for the host. Would you like to claim it?]
"Claim it."
[Congratulations, host. You have obtained Dou Strength Ninth Stage and All-Attribute Dou Qi Talent.]
[Status panel opened]
[Name: Dongfang Chen]
[Gender: Male]
[Strength: Dou Strength Ninth Stage]
[Talent: All Attribute Dou Qi]
Dongfang Chen: ???
Holy crap, the system really gave me Dou Qi!
The instant he claimed the Novice Gift Pack, a remarkably abundant energy filled his tiny three-year-old body.
The system had even thoughtfully strengthened Dongfang Chen's meridians as well, so his young body wouldn't be overwhelmed by the infusion of Dou Qi.
He felt like he could shatter stone with a single punch.
Everyone knew that though magic was powerful, Mages were all glass cannons. They had devastating spells but weak bodies.
A Mage's physique was somewhat better than an ordinary person's, but against a Demon's claws, they were as fragile as tofu.
Even a High-Tier Mage or an Archmage could be stabbed to death with a dagger if caught unprepared.
Dou Qi was different. As one cultivated it, one's physical strength grew as well.
Many Dou Techniques even required a powerful physique to use, like Xiao Yan's early Eight Extremes Burst.
If Mages were glass cannons, then Dou Zhe were Hexagonal Warriors.
They had plenty of attack power and could both take a hit and dish one out.
So if Dongfang Chen, with his Nine-Stage Dou Power, could become a Mage, he'd have a head start over everyone else.
The system might be broken and stupid, but getting all this Dou Qi wasn't a bad deal.
[Beep. The Novice Gift Pack has been delivered. The host should now complete the Novice Mission as soon as possible.]
[Novice Mission: Settle in Wutan City and unlock the Xiao Xun'er Acquaintance Mission.]
[Reward for settling in Wutan City: Flame Mantra (Yellow-Tier Low-Grade), Grade 4 Pill Juqi San.]
[The reward for Xiao Xun'er will be triggered once the host meets her.]
Dongfang Chen had barely had time to enjoy his newly claimed gift before the next mission left him seeing stars.
Xiao Xun'er was on the Dou Qi Continent. How was he supposed to meet her?
[This is the host's first System Mission, and Xiao Xun'er is far away. This system has thoughtfully provided the coordinates for Wutan City and Xiao Xun'er. Longitude: XXX, latitude: XXX.]
Dongfang Chen glanced at the coordinates the system provided, then searched for them online, figuring he might as well try.
"Whoa... These coordinates for Wutan City..."
The system might be stupid, but the coordinates it provided really did point to a location on an online map.
And the city at those coordinates was Bocheng!
