The System's Revenge

Lin Yue, a newly promoted Elder of Martial Soul Hall.

He is the youngest Title Douluo in Martial Soul Hall besides Bibi Dong, having broken through to the Title Douluo realm at the age of 40.

Yet, even before he reached the Title Douluo realm, it was joked that if he ever did, he would be the weakest Title Douluo on the continent—without exception.

This was because Lin Yue's martial soul and soul skills were far too useless.

His martial soul is a peculiar vortex of space.

At first, no one knew what kind of martial soul it was, assuming it to be a top-tier space-type martial soul.

But after Lin Yue added his soul rings, everyone realized that while his martial soul was indeed space-type, it was by no means a top-tier one.

Because no matter how many soul rings Lin Yue added, he only ever had one soul skill: Containment, which allowed him to contain soul beasts of his own rank within the vortex space.

If Lin Yue could actually utilize the soul beasts he contained, it might have been a decent soul skill.

The problem was that he could not control the soul beasts he contained; once released, they remained wild soul beasts, completely uncontrollable.

This rendered his soul skill of little value and even less combat utility.

Not to mention, every time he contained a soul beast, the soul power consumption was significant, meaning he could not contain them indefinitely.

However, aside from his lackluster soul skills, Lin Yue's cultivation speed was quite impressive.

That is why Martial Soul Hall did not give up on nurturing Lin Yue; even if his soul skills lacked combat capability, once his level was high enough, his basic attacks would still be formidable.

Lin Yue did not disappoint Martial Soul Hall in this regard, and at the age of 40, he broke through to level 90.

After adding his soul ring, he officially became a Title Douluo.

Just today, he held his title ceremony at Douluo Hall.

His title is "Soul Collector."

At the same time, he was promoted to Elder of Martial Soul Hall, becoming a member of the Elder Hall.

After the title ceremony concluded.

"Heh, congratulations, Elder Lin. Oh, no, I should address you as Title Douluo Soul Collector now!"

The one speaking was Pufferfish Douluo, his face wearing an undisguised smile, though that smile was filled with mockery.

Ghost Leopard Douluo chimed in from the side: "Soul Collector, Soul Collector, collecting the souls of soul beasts. Elder Lin, when it comes to this martial soul of yours, you may not have other skills, but as for catching soul beasts, in our Elder Hall, if you claim second place, no one would dare claim first! Hahaha!"

Snake Lance Douluo looked at Lin Yue with feigned concern: "Elder Lin, being promoted to Title Douluo is a joyous occasion. But with your soul skill, how many ten-thousand-year soul beasts can you contain now? The scene must be quite spectacular when you release them! I just wonder... are they obedient yet?"

As his words fell, they immediately drew low, mocking laughter from the other elders nearby.

They were clearly all aware of the greatest flaw in Lin Yue's soul skill: the inability to control the contained soul beasts.

Golden Crocodile Douluo, as the Second Worship, held a revered status. Although he did not laugh out loud like the others, his gaze toward Lin Yue carried a hint of scrutiny and imperceptible disdain.

He spoke slowly, his voice deep: "Lin Yue, the position of Elder in Martial Soul Hall carries heavy responsibility. Your martial soul... has unique characteristics; you must study it further and not let down the cultivation of Martial Soul Hall or your seat in the Elder Hall."

This sounded like encouragement, but in reality, it was a reminder that his strength did not fully match his position.

Everyone seemed to have assumed that although Lin Yue had reached the level, his actual combat power was likely inferior to even some powerful Soul Douluos.

Lin Yue stood at the center of everyone's gaze, feeling the mocking, disdainful, or scrutinizing eyes around him.

He paid them no mind, instead silently absorbing the memories of his past life.

That's right, he is a transmigrator.

It was only after being reincarnated into the Douluo Continent and breaking through to Title Douluo that he awakened the memories of his past life.

Only just now had he fully integrated the memories of both lives.

[Ding~ Host has fully awakened memories, Containment System successfully bound!]

Immediately following, a voice devoid of any emotion rang out in Lin Yue's mind.

Only then did Lin Yue realize that his martial soul was actually supposed to be his system.

It was just a pity that after he reincarnated, his memories were sealed by the laws of the universe where this world resided, causing the system to be unable to complete the binding and only temporarily becoming his martial soul.

Now that he had broken through to Title Douluo and his memories had fully awakened, the system was finally able to bind successfully.

Lin Yue was somewhat speechless.

This really is, I've already become a Title Douluo, and the system only just arrives.

[Ding~ In view of the fact that the host has broken through to Title Douluo and the system has just bound, the host will receive a compensation.]

[Ding~ Host has obtained one opportunity for unlimited use of the Containment System! Limited to 24 hours.]

[Ding~ Special Note 1: The host can use this opportunity to forcibly include all soul beasts on the Douluo Continent into the Containment System at once!]

[Ding~ Special Note 2: Soul beasts contained without limit cannot be directly tamed by the Containment System; subsequent taming must be done by the host independently!]

"At the same time, contain all soul beasts..."

"Hiss~"

Lin Yue gasped sharply; as expected of a system, isn't this ability a bit too heaven-defying?

Does this count as the system taking revenge on the world consciousness of this world?

If he were to use this skill.

Would there be no more soul beasts left in the entire Douluo Continent?

Just the thought of it made Lin Yue feel incredibly thrilled.

It is currently the 12th year after the death of the previous Pope, Qian Xunji, which means the original timeline has already progressed to the plot of Shrek Academy.

If he were to contain all the soul beasts, not to mention what would happen to other soul masters, the so-called Shrek Seven Devils would have no hope of leveling up at all.

Without soul beasts, they would be unable to hunt for soul rings, and their soul master ranks would remain stagnant forever, forced to be just like Yu Xiaogang.

It is not just the Shrek Seven Devils; those sect forces, and all soul masters including Martial Soul Hall, would no longer be able to obtain soul rings.

But he is different; as long as his rank reaches...

"Wait, I am already a Titled Douluo; I don't need to absorb soul rings at all anymore."

"So, containing all the soul beasts is no loss to me whatsoever!"

"Not only that, but when needed, I can release the soul beasts. By controlling all of them, I would essentially be monopolizing the entire cultivation resource of the Douluo Continent!"

"And this is a necessary cultivation resource for all soul masters to increase their ranks."

The more Lin Yue thought about it, the more excited he became.

[Ding~ Does the host wish to use this opportunity?]

Seeming to sense Lin Yue's excitement, the system offered a timely reminder.

"Use it, use it immediately!"

Lin Yue said without the slightest hesitation.

With such an overpowered ability, he certainly wouldn't let it go to waste.

As for whether the Douluo Continent would descend into chaos once all the soul beasts disappeared, that was none of his concern.

He wasn't targeting anyone in particular; he was traumatizing everyone equally.

[Ding~ Unlimited containment activated...]

[Ding~ The system is currently containing all the soul beasts in this world...]
