Douluo Continent, Holy Soul Village.
Su Yun stared blankly at his reflection in the water.
The face in the reflection looked dazed, with a delicate, youthful appearance. Long, straight, jet-black hair draped over his shoulders, framing a smooth forehead and an elegant swan-like neck. With a heart-shaped face, phoenix eyes, and skin as fair as the first snow of winter, it was so fine that not a single blemish could be seen, reflecting a porcelain-like luster under the sunlight.
But damn it, I'm a man!
Su Yun felt a splitting headache.
Yes, this breathtaking, peerless beauty was actually packing equipment.
It all started when Su Yun transmigrated.
A month ago, after finishing his shift, Su Yun prepared to play a round of League of Legends to relax.
He chose Master Yi, equipped Flash and Ignite, and prepared to slaughter his way through Summoner's Rift to vent the frustration accumulated from overtime. However, after entering the game, he discovered he was laning against Zilean.
Su Yun couldn't quite remember the laning process; his mind was filled with the sound of bombs going off every time he tried to last-hit. After the match, he punched through his monitor, transmigrated into the Douluo Continent, and was picked up outside a forest by Old Jack of Holy Soul Village.
As for why he turned into this, it was all because of the starter pack provided by the system.
A set of women's clothing and a buff.
[Cross-dressing Buff: While in a cross-dressing state, your gender cannot be perceived, and all talent attributes are increased by 200%.]
These "all talent attributes" didn't just refer to strength; they included cultivation talent, appearance, charm, and more.
Without a doubt, this was an incredibly powerful buff. Once Su Yun awakened his Martial Soul, as long as his talent wasn't terrible, he could leap to become a genius-level figure. But damn it, he had to cross-dress!
In his past life, as a 183cm-tall straight man, Su Yun was determined not to accept this. Besides, he had a system; missing one buff wouldn't be the end of the world.
Su Yun's system was called the [Go Out Relying on Friends System].
By making friends, he could obtain [Friendship Points].
[Friendship Points] could be used for lucky draws or to exchange for various items from the myriad worlds in the mall, though the prices were quite steep.
After learning this, Su Yun excitedly began making friends with the children in Holy Soul Village. After all, children were the easiest to befriend, but the [Friendship Points] he obtained were meager. The system explained that the help such friends could provide was too limited.
Along the way, Su Yun also tried to befriend Tang San. After all, this person was the future Tang God King. No matter how much his character was criticized, his ability to help his friends was top-tier—the Shrek Seven Devils all became gods.
But the imagination was beautiful, and reality was cruel. Facing his approach, Tang San was extremely guarded. After being rebuffed repeatedly, Su Yun lost his temper and stopped paying attention to him.
Just like that, in one month, Su Yun had only harvested 9 [Friendship Points]. Forget about buying things in the mall; it wasn't even enough for the cheapest primary lucky draw.
Su Yun opened the system panel with a massive headache.
[Name: Su Yun Age: 6 Martial Soul: None Soul Power Level: 10 Soul Skills: None Soul Bone: None Friendship Points: 8]
A "three-no" product. The only reason he had Innate Full Soul Power was the effect of the double talent and soul power bonus from wearing the women's clothing.
Closing the system panel, Su Yun clenched his fists.
"Today is the day of the Martial Soul awakening. I hope that in light of my Innate Full Soul Power, even if I don't have a Martial Soul, they will still let me enter the Soul Master Academy."
After saying these words, his eyes were filled with humiliation.
The Soul Master Academy was full of Soul Masters, and the speed of obtaining [Friendship Points] there was incomparable to being outside. Once he missed this chance, he would have to wait another year. One step behind meant every step behind; this was why Su Yun had put on the women's clothing today.
But even so, Su Yun had no confidence. No Martial Soul meant he couldn't add Soul Rings. If that were the case, how would he be any different from an ordinary person?
"Man proposes, God disposes!
This is the first time I've cross-dressed, and it will be the last.
In any case, I've done my best!"
After speaking, Su Yun took out a toothbrush and toothpaste from the small bag he brought, preparing to wash up.
He had exchanged these items from the system; he really couldn't get used to using willow branches and salt water.
But even these ordinary toiletries were expensive in the system mall; 1 [Friendship Point] was only equivalent to the purchasing power of 100 yuan in his past life.
Besides exchanging for these, Su Yun had also bought plenty of spicy strips and "fat-boy happy water" (cola); these were his sharp weapons for making friends quickly.
At this point, Su Yun once again thanked Old Jack in his heart for not only picking him up but also never touching the bag he had with him. Otherwise, the origin of these items would be hard to explain.
Just as Su Yun began to wash up.
A figure in the distance was approaching at high speed.
It looked like a five or six-year-old child. Due to frequent exposure to the sun, his skin had a healthy wheat-colored tone. With short black hair and simple clothes, he looked clean and sharp.
It was none other than the Tang God King, Tang San.
At this moment, he had just finished his cultivation and was preparing to go to the small river to wash up.
However, when Tang San approached the riverbank, he discovered a young girl was already there.
Unlike his own plain attire, the girl wore a light green, chest-high ruqun, with a pale cyan cloth belt tied around her waist, from which two simple tassels hung, flowing like water ripples under the light reflecting off the river surface.
She clearly came from a wealthy family, but how could such a girl appear outside Holy Soul Village?
Just as Tang San was feeling puzzled, a gentle breeze blew by, lifting the girl's hair. Feeling the ticklish sensation on her face, the girl reached out with slender, delicate fingers to tuck the hair behind her ear, revealing an incredibly exquisite face that seemed like a masterpiece of nature's craftsmanship, causing even Tang San, who had lived two lifetimes, to be momentarily dazed.
Watching the girl lean over, preparing to cup the water with her hands, Tang San could not help but speak up.
"It's not safe by the river."
"Holy crap! Who's there?"
The sudden voice gave Su Yun such a start that she nearly tumbled into the water.
Seeing this, Tang San became instantly anxious.
"Watch out!"
No longer caring about hiding his abilities, he unleashed Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track with all his might, reaching Su Yun's side in the blink of an eye. Just as he prepared to reach out and pull her back, he realized she had already steadied herself.
The result was that when Su Yun turned around, she saw Tang San's hand awkwardly frozen in mid-air.
"Tang San?"
After seeing clearly who it was, Su Yun's eyes held not only surprise but also deep wariness.
She began to wonder if she had inadvertently offended the Tang God King and earned herself a "Way of Seeking Death."
Tang San naturally had no idea what Su Yun was thinking. Hearing her call his name, he was quite astonished and asked.
"You know me?"
His voice carried a hint of excitement.
Hearing this, Su Yun's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she countered.
"You don't know me?"
Although her voice was ethereal and pleasant, it placed a great deal of pressure on Tang San.
Calling his name, combined with that tone, suggested she should know him, yet no matter how hard Tang San searched his memories, he had no impression of her whatsoever.
Such a stunning girl—if he had ever seen her, he certainly would not have forgotten.
