The Beginning · Shrek! The Arrival of the Harvest Heroine Gift Talisman System

Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy.

"Tsk~"

"So this is the Tang Sect hidden weapon? The power is truly not to be underestimated!"

A handsome young man with purple hair and purple eyes leaned against the trunk of a tree at the edge of the training ground, watching with great interest as a powered-up Tang San pelted Zhao Wuji's face with various hidden weapons.

The young man's name was Lin Yan.

Twelve years ago, he accidentally transmigrated to Douluo Continent. At age six, he awakened the twin martial souls "Blue Silver Grass" and "Evil Fire Demon Snake" with innate level 5 soul power, and was brought back to Shrek Academy by Flender alongside Ma Hongjun.

Six years had passed, and Lin Yan had now reached level 31 soul power, with his "Blue Silver Grass" martial soul having been augmented by one yellow and two purple soul rings.

"Sigh~ same world, different fates!"

Lin Yan let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with a hint of jealousy as he looked at Tang San.

"Tang San brings his past life's techniques with him when he transmigrates, yet I'm stuck here as a minor support."

"We're both transmigrators, so why don't I have a system~"

[Ding~ System loading successful!]

[This system is named: Harvest Heroine Gift Talisman System!]

"Ah? A system?"

"There really is a system?"

Lin Yan was overjoyed. He sprang up from his lazy, semi-reclined position, his eerie purple eyes filled with excitement.

Soon, a pale blue light screen appeared.

[Newbie gift pack has been issued, please claim it later.]

[System rules released:]

[1. The system can detect a heroine's favorability toward the host. For every heroine whose favorability reaches 100%, the host will harvest one random "Twelve Talismans of Shendu" and receive additional rewards.]

[2. The host cannot use the talisman abilities; they only take effect on the exclusive heroine.]

[3. After harvesting a heroine, the host can receive additional rewards, which change according to the host's strength.]

"Uh~" The excitement in Lin Yan's eyes gradually cooled.

"Why can only the heroines use the talisman abilities? What about me? Do I only get those so-called additional rewards? What kind of reward could compare to the Horse Talisman or the Dog Talisman?"

Clearly, Lin Yan was somewhat dissatisfied with the system. He had finally waited for a cheat, only to find it served other heroines, which left him feeling disappointed.

"Forget it, something is better than nothing!"

"Let's see what's in the newbie gift pack first."

As things stood, Lin Yan could only pin his hopes on the newbie gift pack and those so-called additional rewards, hoping they would allow him to possess something comparable to "hidden weapons."

Returning his gaze to the system panel, Lin Yan tapped the interface, and a prompt quickly popped up on the screen.

[Do you wish to open the "Newbie Gift Pack"?]

"Yes."

["Newbie Gift Pack" opened successfully, rewards obtained:]

[1. Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul bloodline evolution count ×1.]

[2. Evil Fire Demon Snake Martial Soul bloodline evolution count ×1.]

[3. God-Given Soul Ring (System Version) ×3.]

[4. External Soul Bone (Customizable Version) ×1.]

[5. Forced activation of permission to use twin martial souls simultaneously.]

[God-Given Soul Ring (System Version) Manual: This soul ring automatically matches the martial soul's attributes, granting the most suitable and powerful soul skills, and the soul ring's age automatically adapts to the limit the host's body can withstand.]

Lin Yan stared fixedly at the text on the panel, his breathing becoming hot and heavy.

"Martial soul evolution! Soul rings and soul bones! Even the drawback of twin martial souls being unusable at the same time on this continent can be forcibly rewritten by the system."

"The cheat this system provides is meant to let me have a blast in Douluo!"

"System, I spoke too loudly just now; you are truly incredible!"

Seeing the rewards brought by the system, Lin Yan felt the whole world brighten up.

"Hidden weapons are nothing! Without Lou Gao forging those high-grade hidden weapons for you, these things are just child's play in front of the strong."

"Once I grow up relying on these system rewards, I'll definitely crush that little brat..."

At this moment, Lin Yan's waist no longer ached, his legs didn't hurt, and his spirits were lifted.

Although his main martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, was just a minor support, with the system's God-Given Soul Rings, he could add soul rings to his second martial soul at any time without worrying about his body exploding from excess energy.

"Claim..."

"Wait!"

Lin Yan's finger hovered over the "Claim Rewards" button, but he suddenly stopped.

"I cannot claim it just yet. Tang Hammer is watching from the sidelines; if my Blue Silver Grass bloodline evolves into the Blue Silver Emperor, that fellow would absolutely charge out here regardless of the consequences."

"Even if I claimed to have no connection to Ah Yin, Tang Hao would never let the matter rest."

Realizing this, Lin Yan curled his lip, keeping his expression neutral.

"It's a good thing I wasn't blinded by excitement. I really am clever."

Exhaling a long breath of stale air, a smile appeared on Lin Yan's face.

Good things take time; he would wait until no one was around to claim the reward in secret...

On the other side.

The battle between Tang San and Zhao Wuji had ended. The battlefield looked as if it had snowed, with the ground covered in various throwing darts and silver needles shimmering with a metallic glint.

The conscious Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were both stunned!

Fortunately, the Hair Crystal that had been in Flender's possession was already taken by Lin Yan. At this point in time, Tang San had not obtained the Dragon Whisker Needle, and Zhao Wuji was not as disheveled as he had been in the original timeline; only a few spots on his clothes were slightly torn.

Even so, the abilities Tang San displayed were enough to shock everyone present.

Zhao Wuji, in particular, looked at his opponent with a puzzled expression.

"Why does your Blue Silver Grass have a poison attribute? And why does an ability like Bind appear as a spirit skill? Who taught you to cultivate like this?"

Mentioning his Blue Silver Grass spirit, Tang San loosened his fists, which had been clenched tight from the tension of the battle. Thinking of Yu Xiaogang, he immediately put on a smug expression.

"Naturally, it was my teacher. He is a world-renowned master of spirit theory."

"My cultivation path was personally designed by my teacher; it was he who gave my Blue Silver Grass spirit a new lease on life."

Zhao Wuji chuckled lightly.

"In two sentences, you mentioned your teacher three times and the word 'master' once."

"It seems you highly approve of his theories and are very fond of your Blue Silver Grass spirit."

"That goes without saying!"

Tang San nodded slightly, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. "My teacher's theories are invincible; even the Pope of Martial Soul Hall would not dare to easily question them."

"If I hadn't met my teacher, my Blue Silver Grass would still be a trash spirit. It was his bold vision for spirits that allowed me to possess combat capability."

"It was he..."

"Alright, alright, I didn't ask you all that."

Zhao Wuji waved his hand impatiently. He had no interest in listening to Tang San's nonsense about masters or whatever. Lin Yan had been cultivating under his nose for six years; did he not know what a Blue Silver Grass was?

Poison attributes, binding enemies, parasitic seeds...

These skill forms of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass had no control effect on him whatsoever. If it weren't for those hidden weapons and his own holding back, Tang San would have been sent flying long ago.

To think he was still there bragging about his cultivation path and boasting about some 'master'...

Zhao Wuji curled the corner of his mouth and turned to look at the edge of the training ground.

"Kid Lin Yan, time to work!"

"Hurry over here and heal me."

"Coming!"

Lin Yan had long since put away his system panel, and upon hearing Zhao Wuji's call, he slowly walked over to the group.
