Douluo Continent.
Ever since Tang San's daughter descended to the mortal realm for training ten thousand years ago and ascended to the God Realm alongside the God of Emotions Dai Yuhao, a new era had dawned.
Sun Moon Federation.
"Big Brother Lu Li told me..."
"That we would meet again in Eastsea City!"
In Aolai City, a young boy bidding farewell to his hometown blinked, took a deep breath, and spoke with determination in his eyes.
He was going to become a powerful Soul Master!
With that thought in mind, he clutched the recommendation letter in his hand and headed toward the registration office.
His name was Tang Wulin, his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, he was a level 14 control-type battle soul master, and his dream was the sea of stars...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Shrek City, Spirit Pagoda headquarters.
"It's about time."
"I should go say goodbye to my teacher."
Inside the Tianling Pagoda, a handsome young man arrived at the top floor. He looked to be in his early twenties, tall and well-built, with a face that seemed like the finest creation of nature.
As he looked at the office of the vice pagoda master before him and prepared to ring the doorbell, a voice quietly sounded from behind him:
"Xiao Li, is there something you need?"
At that very moment, a stunningly beautiful woman appeared behind him, a gentle smile gracing her face.
She was a red-haired woman, appearing to be in her thirties, possessing an incredibly high level of beauty; every gesture and smile of hers was filled with charm.
Although she wore simple, plain clothing, it could not hide her superb figure, which was the envy of many.
She was none other than one of the top powerhouses on the continent, the vice pagoda master of the Spirit Pagoda, a level 98 Super Douluo, and owner of a four-word Battle Armor, Leng Yaozhu.
"Teacher."
Hearing the movement, the young man turned around instantly to face the woman, a handsome curve forming on his lips as he spoke respectfully.
His name was Lu Li, over 18 years of age, his martial soul was the Golden Holy Dragon King, he was a three-word Battle Armor Master, and one of the four great Spirit Envoys of the Spirit Pagoda.
He was the most promising candidate for the next Spirit Pagoda master, and recently, he had luckily broken through to become a Title Douluo.
He had barely managed to reorganize the historical records of the late Yun Ming, becoming a member of the Douluo Continent's Power Ranking.
He was also a dimension-crushing existence on the list for those under 20, the Youth Genius Ranking, because while others were still Soul Kings, some were already Title Douluos...
Wouldn't you agree, Qiangu Zhangting?
"Come in and talk."
Leng Yaozhu glanced at him, smiled as she withdrew her gaze, and stepped forward to open her office door.
"Yes, Teacher."
Lu Li acknowledged and followed her inside.
"Teacher, for the time ahead, I probably..."
The next moment, just as he was about to speak, he didn't expect the other party to interrupt him as if she had already guessed something.
"It seems you are planning to leave again, just like when you went to Aolai City last time, aren't you?"
Putting all sorts of messy thoughts to the back of her mind, Leng Yaozhu sat at her desk, looked at the man before her, and asked.
"The world is so big, I want to go out and see it."
"Besides, I can't stay in the Spirit Pagoda in seclusion forever, Teacher. Cultivation after becoming a Title Douluo won't be that fast."
Lu Li's expression was calm as he said with a smile.
"Go out and see..."
"You said that before, and after being gone for a few days, you even gained two little fans—a forging genius with a Blue Silver Grass martial soul, and another one named... Na'er?"
Leng Yaozhu glanced at him and complained helplessly. It was said that the little fan girl even claimed she would grow up to be her teacher's daughter-in-law.
However, since he was indeed a Title Douluo now, blind seclusion was truly no longer suitable for him...
"Very well, your cultivation is sufficient, and it is time for you to go out and venture. As for your future arrangements, decide as you please."
Looking deeply at the disciple before her, Leng Yaozhu's face held a look of admiration.
She had watched him grow up.
A Soul Elder at nine, a Soul Ancestor at ten, a Soul King at eleven, a Soul Emperor at twelve, a Soul Sage at fourteen, a Soul Douluo at sixteen...
He had achieved the rank of Title Douluo not long ago, and he wasn't even twenty yet. This talent was more Shrek than Shrek itself; he could be called an enhanced version of the second-generation Yun Ming.
Her disciple would surpass Qingtian!
"If you encounter danger, feel free to use your teacher's name and seek refuge at the local Spirit Pagoda... Never mind, your strength is already greater than those pagoda masters."
As Leng Yaozhu spoke, she quickly shook her head, then reached into her Soul Tool and took out a black-gold storage card.
"There is about ten million Federal Coins on this card. I know you don't care about money, but when you go out to play... er, to gain experience, you'll always need some."
"But don't go around flirting with anyone."
Leng Yaozhu gave him a deep look; it seemed like a warning, yet it felt even sharper than that.
"Understood, thank you, Teacher."
Lu Li did not refuse in the slightest. Although, with his status as an eighth-rank blacksmith, he wasn't exactly short on money, but how could he not accept his teacher's kind intentions?
Besides, compared to the resources his teacher had given him in the past, money was the most ordinary thing of all.
"I'll be going now, Teacher."
"I'll bring you a gift when I return next time."
At this moment, Lu Li acted like a truly filial disciple; he took the benefits and left, leaving behind a sunny smile before his figure flashed and vanished.
However, the moment he left the Tianling Pagoda, a pair of golden-red wings of light flickered into existence behind him, and he shot off toward the distance without a hint of hesitation.
"You brat."
"Who wants your gift anyway?"
Watching his departing figure, Leng Yaozhu pursed her lips in resignation. He really just took off like that.
"Come to think of it, he was just a little boy not long ago, and in the blink of an eye, he's grown so much."
"He's no longer at the age where I can just hug him whenever I want. How annoying..."
"..."
That afternoon, Eastsea City.
"Eastsea City, I've arrived."
"I wonder how little Tang Wulin is doing now. The boost from a century-old spirit ring is still too limited. While balancing his blacksmithing, he's probably only at level thirteen or fourteen," Lu Li muttered to himself as he landed outside the city and began walking quickly toward the gates.
And then there's Na'er, the Silver Dragon King's bloodline...
Since I've already taken Yun Ming as my master, perhaps I should go see her later. Never mind the Silver Dragon King's world-shaking wisdom, I cannot let her become just another piece of Shrek's glory.
"Three years passed so quickly. But thinking about it, I've been in this world for eighteen years now; it has all passed in the blink of an eye."
Lu Li chuckled, his tone filled with emotion.
He was, of course, a transmigrator.
When he first arrived in this world, he was a weak and helpless orphan in swaddling clothes until his teacher picked him up, eighteen years ago.
Back then, he was all alone, without even a stitch of clothing, but today, he was already the youngest Titled Douluo in the world.
Lu Li's success today was inseparable from his teacher's high regard, and even more so from his own sweat and hard work. The reason was simple...
Because he didn't have a so-called golden finger. Without a golden finger, he naturally had to cultivate even harder!
"If I build a good relationship with the protagonist, little Tang, and get on familiar terms with the Silver Dragon King, those are the two main protagonists. My achievements afterward shouldn't be much worse than theirs..."
Lu Li thought silently to himself. Without a golden finger, he could only invest in the future Dragon Emperor Douluo. Besides, his own martial soul was in the top tier, right below the other's.
The Golden Holy Dragon King was the strongest dragon-type martial soul in Douluo history, and it was his own, but he knew all too well how it would be suppressed in the future.
Fortunately, the protagonist of this generation was the little guy Tang Wulin. He had talent, and he had character. At least in the early stages, he was undoubtedly a fine young man of the Douluo world.
Do you understand the gold content of the most upright third generation?
As he was thinking, just as he passed the Eastsea City spirit guidance train station, a mechanical voice rang out in his mind:
[Supreme Growth System activated]
[Ding, binding successful]
"A system...?"
Hearing this voice, Lu Li was stunned for a moment, a visible flash of joy crossing his face.
Although he had long since stopped expecting a golden finger, having one and not having one were two different things. In this era of the Dragon King's conflict, who wouldn't want more confidence?
But soon, he couldn't smile anymore.
[Host, congratulations on reaching level 11 spirit master. With your strength, you can easily enroll in the best intermediate academy in Eastsea City]
[Current Task: Report to Donghai Academy and gain the recognition of the academy teachers]
[Task Reward: Spirit ring age increased by 20%]
[Let's go, Host!]
"...?"
Lu Li's expression stiffened as he looked at the task panel appearing before his eyes, speechless.
Good news: he had a system.
Bad news: was this not a bit too low-level?
He, a level 91 Titled Douluo, joining Donghai Academy?
"..."
