Where Did This Monster Come From?!

Rose Hotel.

Zhang Tianyu looked up at the magnificent building before him, which exuded an air of luxury and ambiguity from every corner. He appeared calm on the surface, and his heart was equally tranquil.

One cannot dodge or avoid the events of the main storyline.

Stepping into the hotel, Zhang Tianyu walked through the plot as if he were a gamer, quietly waiting for the next victim—no, the next main character—to make an entrance.

"I'm sorry, we only have one room left."

Looking at the three teenagers before him, the attendant was struck with astonishment!

This young man is so handsome! He's actually even more handsome than me!

This young girl is so cute! She could easily rank in the top three of all the women I've ever seen!

And this other young man... ah, he's average.

"Ah, what? There's only one left?" Zhang Tianyu recited flatly.

The attendant replied, "Yes, that's all that's left."

"But our rooms here are quite large; it's more than enough for two people to stay."

Tang San: ...

Ah, when you said 'two people,' why did your eyes only dart between Xiao Wu and Tianyu? Why didn't you even glance at me?

Could it be that I've already been kicked to the curb?

But then again, it makes sense. Xiao Wu is a girl; it's impossible to kick her out to find her own place.

Besides, two men and one woman sharing a room doesn't sound very proper.

Just as Tang San was thinking this, Xiao Wu and Zhang Tianyu heard the attendant and turned to look at him in unison.

Tang San: ...

"Then I'll go find somewhere else to stay."

Xiao Wu and Zhang Tianyu both wore expressions of relief, simultaneously giving him a look that said, 'You're so sensible.'

"Good, come tell us once you've found a place," Zhang Tianyu said.

Tang San nodded and turned to walk out.

After he left, the attendant began processing the check-in for the two, and just then, Dai Mubai made a flashy entrance with the twins in his arms: "I say, this room should belong to me, right?"

Xiao Wu and Zhang Tianyu turned to look and saw Dai Mubai walking over with his arms around the twins.

Seeing the twins, a sense of resentment stirred in Zhang Tianyu's heart.

In his previous life, the system had promised Zhang Tianyu a quest that would reward him with twins, but he never saw it until the reset.

Prompt: Quest [I Also Have Twins!] activated. Objective: Defeat the White Tiger Dai Mubai. No restrictions on methods or means. Reward: One pair of random twins.

Initially, upon hearing the reward, Zhang Tianyu was filled with excitement, but his heart calmed down the next second: "Just one pair? I thought it was five pairs?"

Prompt: Take it slow, there will be more later.

Zhang Tianyu was speechless. Good grief, does this quest reward come in installments?

Oh, right.

Haven't there always been percentage-based quest rewards like activation rates and acquisition rates?

"System, oh system, you come to the human world and don't learn anything good, instead picking up these XX game reward mechanics. It's truly heartbreaking!"

Dai Mubai walked past Zhang Tianyu and Xiao Wu with the twins in his arms, then a look of bewilderment appeared on his face.

Where did this handsome guy come from?

How the hell is he this handsome? Even better looking than me? That's impossible!

The twins also wore expressions of awe, casting flirtatious glances at Zhang Tianyu.

A handsome guy with this level of looks? I'd do it for free!

Dai Mubai was, after all, royalty, so he quickly steadied his composure and asked the attendant at the counter: "You must be new here. Don't you know there's always a room reserved for me?"

The attendant hesitated and asked tentatively, "Who are you?"

Dai Mubai said impatiently, "Get your manager out here."

"No need," Zhang Tianyu said, snatching the key from the attendant's hand. "In the Jianghu, it's first come, first served. We claimed this room first."

Dai Mubai sneered at him: "There's another rule in the Jianghu: the one with the biggest fist does the talking. Do you know that?"

"So, you're feeling pretty brave, huh? You think your fists are big?" Zhang Tianyu also sneered.

Hearing this, a spark of interest appeared in Dai Mubai's eyes: "Whether my fists are big or not, won't you know if you try?"

As he spoke, a powerful aura erupted from his body.

Xiao Wu immediately frowned; this aura was actually much stronger than her own!

The lecher before him was actually a Soul Elder!

"Fine, try me and you'll be meeting the Yellow Springs." Zhang Tianyu cracked his neck.

The words had barely left his lips when a sweating Manager Wang rushed out in a panic: "Young Master Dai, calm down! Let's talk this over, let's talk this over, please don't resort to violence!"

Dai Mubai waved a hand: "Enough talk. This brat has piqued my interest today. Manager Wang, step aside. I'll pay for whatever gets broken!"

"So, you're quite wealthy, then?" Zhang Tianyu asked, knowing the answer. "Let's add a wager. If you lose, give me one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin."

Dai Mubai chuckled; one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin meant nothing to him. "Fine. And if you lose?"

"You name it."

"From now on, you'll be my lackey. You do whatever I tell you to do," Dai Mubai said.

"Deal. Come on."

The moment the word "on" left his lips, Dai Mubai soared into the air, descending with the ferocious momentum of a tiger leaving the mountains, his fist aimed straight at Zhang Tianyu's face!

Having sparred with him for years in his past life, Zhang Tianyu had long since mastered his fighting style. The instant the fist lunged forward, he relied on muscle memory to nimbly dodge the blow and plant a kick squarely into Dai Mubai's stomach.

Dai Mubai let out a muffled grunt as he was sent tumbling backward.

Xiao Wu, watching from the side, frowned slightly.

As a bystander, she saw it clearly: the moment Dai Mubai launched his attack, Zhang Tianyu had already dodged.

It was as if Zhang Tianyu could predict Dai Mubai's every move!

She then recalled the times she had sparred with Zhang Tianyu over the years; it was always the same.

Every one of her attacks was effortlessly dodged by Zhang Tianyu, as if he had anticipated them in advance!

What was going on? What was the principle behind this? Could it be that Tianyu could predict the attacks of others?

After landing, Dai Mubai immediately activated his Martial Soul and revealed his three soul rings: "It seems I underestimated you. Let's do this for real!"

"Dai Mubai, Martial Soul: White Tiger, Level 37 Battle Soul Elder. Please advise!"

Zhang Tianyu opened his hands, and the Yellow Springs manifested before his chest, wreathed in wisps of black energy.

At the same time, to the shock and bewilderment of Dai Mubai, three identical soul rings appeared around Zhang Tianyu's body:

"Zhang Tianyu, Martial Soul: Yellow Springs, Level 37 Battle Soul Elder. Please advise."

Dai Mubai felt his brain go boom, as if struck by lightning!

He never expected this!!

The brat before him, who was several years his junior, was actually a Soul Elder too, and not only was he the same level, but his soul ring configuration was also the same: Yellow, Yellow, Purple!

Damn it, where the hell did this monster come from?!
