Trash Host

Nuoding Academy was far larger than Cao Yan had expected, something he only realized after entering the school.

The academy was mainly divided into several areas: the main teaching building, the sports field, and the dormitory buildings east of the sports field.

At that moment, Cao Yan stood in the middle of the sports field, looking somewhat lost but even more astonished.

"Nuoding Academy really is a school only rich people can afford. Good grief, it's built so extravagantly? This place is huge!"

"Wait, which teaching building did Director Su point out just now?" Cao Yan rubbed his chin, unable to tell them apart.

The academy's teaching buildings were separate, with four in total, each used to train students of different grades. They were exceptionally grand.

"But which one am I supposed to go to for registration?" Cao Yan looked at the surrounding teaching buildings and fell into thought.

Looks like I'm lost.

"Ding. Congratulations, Host Brother, for completing the mission and successfully humiliating Grandmaster and Tang San." Just as Cao Yan was feeling helpless, the system's soft, pleasant voice rang out.

"Ding. Randomly drawing a Martial Soul for the host. Please wait."

Huh?

That counted as completing it? Wasn't that a little too easy?

Cao Yan was somewhat doubtful. He was someone who pursued perfection, and he did not think this counted as a complete success.

After all, people like Tang San and Grandmaster had exceptionally strong mental endurance. Perhaps those two would forget this unpleasantness in the blink of an eye.

Back when Grandmaster and Liu Erlong had been torn apart by the Jade Family, he had been able to endure such humiliation. If it had been an ordinary person, they probably would have found somewhere to kill themselves long ago.

Yet Grandmaster had shamelessly survived until now. That bastard had most likely done it on purpose. He knew she was his cousin, yet he still reached his filthy claws toward her. He was utterly devoid of conscience.

As for Tang San, there was even less need to mention him. He was an old hand who had lived two lives, and his mind had long since matured. Would he really be unable to withstand such a blow?

Looks like I need to step things up.

Even though the mission had now been completed, Cao Yan still would not let those two off easily.

Ever since reading the novel, Cao Yan had been sick of these two for a long time.

Grandmaster and Tang San were cut from the same cloth, a pair of accomplices in crime. Not only had they committed countless evil deeds and done all manner of heinous things, they had also harmed quite a few innocent girls.

Their sins were far too grave to be settled with a simple death. That would be letting those two little bastards off far too easily.

When Tang San lacked strength, he was meek and cowardly, like a complete wimp. When he returned to the sect, he groveled and begged to be acknowledged as part of the family, not even daring to utter a peep.

But once he became a Titled Douluo, he immediately turned his back on them. He directly defied his elders, ordering the sect's seniors around and teaching others how to do things. Look how full of himself he was.

In the City of Slaughter, the moment Tang San obtained Divine Slaughter's Domain, he turned around and destroyed the place. Not only did he screw over his great-grandfather Tang Chen, he also cut off everyone else's path forward. Could any decent person do something like that?

You got a domain, so no one else needed one? The moment you gained benefits, you refused to leave anyone else a way out.

He ate from the bowl, then cursed the one who fed him after putting it down. That was exactly the kind of person he was. Even beasts could not do such things, yet he had done them all by himself.

To be honest, even beasts knew how to repay kindness. Someone like him was simply worse than an animal.

Grandmaster was no better. The two of them were birds of a feather, so it was no wonder they ended up together.

Heh, perhaps those two had already gotten together by now?

Heh! Since I've come to Douluo Continent, this is your doom. With me here, you can forget about hurting anyone again.

"Ding. Congratulations, Host Brother, for obtaining the Guardian Spirit Martial Soul: Yu Jin, loyal retainer and great general of the Cao Family."

As the system's voice fell, a gentle white light shot directly into Cao Yan's glabella. With the system's help, Cao Yan could even sense that a powerful presence had appeared within his body. Now, with a single thought, he could summon it.

But why was my Martial Soul such a crappy thing?

I'm not interested in men!

Yu Jin?

This Guardian Spirit was a little hard to accept!

"Sigh, System Sister, aren't you screwing me over? Arranging such a bizarre Martial Soul for me—what exactly are you up to?" Cao Yan asked in dissatisfaction.

Even if his surname was Cao, why did he have to be linked to a Guardian Spirit like this? What a scam.

"Host Brother, Yu Jin is very powerful. In the future, once Host Brother has Soul Rings, you'll be able to fully experience his might."

"Uh, System, are you brain-damaged? I'm a Peerless Douluo right now. I have level ninety-nine Soul Power. Do I still need to rely on him?" Cao Yan could not help complaining.

"Ahem. Actually, Host Brother, you may have overestimated your own strength. Host Brother currently doesn't have a single Soul Ring, so you cannot be considered invincible on Douluo Continent."

"Huh? System, what do you mean by that?" Cao Yan could not help asking, sensing that something was off.

"Host Brother is currently only far ahead in terms of Soul Power Level. If you encounter a Titled Douluo-level expert, you might not necessarily be their match."

"This system will explain it to Host Brother. Based on Host Brother's current Soul Power Level, when facing an ordinary Titled Douluo-level expert, if both sides rely solely on Soul Power, Host Brother can win completely. But once the other party uses Soul Skills, Host Brother can only barely contend with them and will soon be defeated."

"If you face a Titled Douluo above level ninety-five, Host Brother can only take a beating. As for encountering a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, Host Brother will have absolutely no ability to fight back," the system said with a gleeful laugh.

"Seriously? I'm actually this weak? So that means, with my own Soul Power, I can currently only defeat experts below the Titled Douluo level? Huh?" Cao Yan asked.

"Yes, but Host Brother needn't worry. In order to cultivate Host Brother into a supreme powerhouse, Host Brother can directly obtain Soul Rings by completing system missions. Isn't that very user-friendly?" the system said softly with a smile.

"Then can I obtain Soul Rings myself?" His eyes rolling, Cao Yan hurriedly asked.

At that moment, he was even beginning to regret not absorbing that Man Faced Demon Spider in the Star Dou Great Forest. That had been a 999.99 million-year Soul Ring, yet I actually missed it.

Aah, aah, aah!

"That won't work, Host Brother. You have no other choice. Aside from obtaining Soul Rings through the system, you cannot seek another method. However, Host Brother can help other people obtain Soul Rings," the system reminded him.

"Ah, this..." Cao Yan's mouth fell open as he froze.

Was this the consequence of my cheat being too overpowered? It was actually this severe?

That meant I couldn't even beat that bastard Tang Hao right now.

Ah!

"Something's not right, System Sister. By all rights, I shouldn't be this weak. What was going on with that Man Faced Demon Spider I defeated in the Star Dou Great Forest? Wasn't its cultivation nearly 100,000 years?" Cao Yan asked again.

A Soul Beast nearing the 100,000-year level could only barely be opposed by a Titled Douluo above level ninety-five. Thinking of this, Cao Yan was starting to suspect that the system was playing a joke on him.

After all, he had killed that Demon Spider with a single punch.

"Host Brother, that Man Faced Demon Spider was in the midst of its tribulation. If Host Brother hadn't appeared, perhaps it would have successfully passed the tribulation. Soul Beasts are at their weakest during that stage and can only display strength equivalent to a Soul King. Their physical strength is the same."

No way? That could happen?

I'm actually this miserable?

However, Cao Yan did not continue dwelling on it. As a transmigrator, he was already being treated quite well. After all, if he wanted to become a true powerhouse, he still had to rely on his own efforts.

"System, do you have any information on Yu Jin?"

"Yes. This system will send it into Host Brother's mind."

Soon, a set of data appeared in Cao Yan's mind. It was an introduction to Yu Jin.

Yu Jin:

From the Requiem Street plane.

Unmatched in loyalty and righteousness, possessing both wisdom and courage. A famous general of the Wei Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. Cao Cao once said that Yu Jin's bravery was no less than Lu Bu's. Later, during a battle, he was forced to surrender and ultimately died in shame. Fortunately, after his death, Yu Jin received another opportunity. In the end, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to assisting his new lord, giving everything he had.

Weapon: Long-handled blade.

Strength: Extremely powerful.

Huh?

He actually seemed pretty good. Yu Jin from Requiem Street, huh. Heh heh.

Aren't I a descendant of the Cao Family? Hahaha.

"By the way, System Sister, just how strong is 'extremely powerful'?" Cao Yan frowned slightly, still vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

"Guardian Spirits possess their own intelligence and thoughts, and they will absolutely obey the host's commands. Their strength is directly supplied by the host's Soul Rings. When the host has no Soul Rings, the strength a Guardian Spirit can display will be greatly reduced. Host Brother can inject your own Soul Power into the Guardian Spirit to achieve a brief burst of strength, but this will consume an enormous amount of Host Brother's Soul Power. It is not recommended that Host Brother use it."

Cao Yan: ...

"Speak plainly."

System: "The Guardian Spirit is currently just for show. Without Soul Rings, its strength is drastically reduced. The host can sustain it with Soul Power, but you'll soon be drained dry. It's not even as useful as the host's own strength."

"Ah? This..." Cao Yan's expression changed, and he was left speechless.

"Host Brother can rest assured. Once the host obtains a 100,000-Year Soul Ring, the Guardian Spirit will be able to display strength matching the host's Soul Power. After all, Guardian Spirits are extremely powerful beings. Without Soul Rings to supply immense energy, they cannot support their maximum output."

After hearing the system's explanation, Cao Yan temporarily had no interest in summoning the thing.

However, with the help of the system's navigation function, he successfully found the location of the teaching building and walked straight over.
