Douluo Continent.

Notting Academy.

"Work-study students—since when have you been allowed to eat on the second floor?"

Thump!

A mocking voice reached Ji Feng's ears.

He looked up.

A boy of about eleven stood over him.

Looking down at him.

His eyes were full of contempt.

"So what if you're a noble? So what if you're a paying student?"

"I'll accept your challenge, but do you even qualify to be my opponent?"

"Hmph!"

Tang San let out a cold laugh.

Protecting Xiao Wu, he said, "You can bully me all you want, but if you dare bully Xiao Wu, then prepare to face defeat!"

With that,

the siblings swaggered up to the second floor.

Ji Feng, meanwhile, had just been defeated by Tang San.

He had nearly been knocked unconscious.

[ Ding ]

[Host detected transmigrating to Douluo Continent]

[Conditions met. Beginning to bind the Honor of Kings Hero Template System]

[Binding successful!]

"System?"

On his way back,

Ji Feng heard a voice.

As a transmigrator,

who had read plenty of web novels in his previous life,

he knew exactly what a system meant.

It was the essential cheat for any transmigrator!

"I must be the most pathetic transmigrator ever, getting my face stomped on by the chosen one right at the start. Hurry up, system—what can you do?"

Ji Feng was eager to find out.

With a thought,

the system panel unfolded.

[This system aims to help the host become a true powerhouse in Douluo Continent.]

[The host can currently awaken their first Honor of Kings hero template.]

[Awakening a hero template grants you all the abilities of that hero from Honor Continent!]

"An Honor of Kings hero template!?"

"Honor of Kings!?"

In his previous life, he'd been a devoted player for ten years.

He knew this game inside and out.

From the system's introduction,

it seemed that awakening a template would grant him the hero's abilities.

"Fantastic!"

"Let's see what hero template I can awaken!"

At the thought,

Ji Feng grew wildly excited.

Whoosh!

The next second,

the panel unfolded.

Hero Template: Hou Yi

Role: Marksman

Status: Available to Awaken

Awakening Quest: Sign in (0/4)

"Sign in? So I just have to sign in for four days to awaken this hero."

Ji Feng's eyes lit up.

"It's Hou Yi, of all heroes!"

As someone who often played in the farm lane,

he knew Hou Yi like the back of his hand.

Hou Yi was a stationary marksman.

He died easily,

but once his late-game gear was complete,

he was a terror in team fights.

"I never thought my first template would be Hou Yi."

"Sign me in!"

[ Ding ]

[Sign-in successful]

[You have obtained your first passive skill: Punishing Shot]

[Punishing Shot]: Basic attacks grant 8% attack speed per hit (up to 3 stacks). At full stacks, basic attacks fire 3 arrows, dealing 150% total damage. Each arrow applies 100% of on-hit effects. Lasts 3 seconds (hits refresh the duration).

"Isn't this Hou Yi's passive skill!?"

"And it hasn't been nerfed—it's the full, original version of Hou Yi's passive!"

"Insane!"

Looking at the skill description,

Ji Feng was stunned.

Each basic attack granted 8% attack speed, so three stacks meant 24%!

At three stacks, he fired three split arrows.

Each arrow dealt 150% of the total damage!

In other words, if a normal attack dealt 100 points of damage, those three split arrows would deal 150 damage altogether!

And the on-hit effects were even more ridiculous.

Applying 100% of on-hit effects meant triggering equipment effects at full strength.

One arrow triggered one effect.

Three arrows meant triggering three equipment effects at once.

If an equipment effect granted lifesteal,

then three split arrows would trigger lifesteal three times in an instant.

"But I don't have any equipment right now."

Suddenly,

Ji Feng realized the problem.

He had a hero template now,

but no equipment.

So he couldn't trigger the on-hit effects.

"Once I get some equipment, won't I be able to bring Hou Yi's legendary lifesteal-pump glory back to Douluo Continent!?"

At the thought,

Ji Feng felt like he was about to float away.

[ Ding ]

[Host's current plane detected as Douluo Continent]

[An additional passive has been granted to the current template]

[Additional Passive]: Gain Soul Power by farming monsters, accelerating the host's Soul Power progress.

"Damn, I'm invincible."

"Looks like the system took pity on me and didn't want me to level up too slowly."

"Or is this Hou Yi's 'hands never idle' trait? It doesn't want me to stop. Even in Douluo Continent, I have to keep farming monsters?"

With this skill,

Ji Feng felt he couldn't just lie around anymore.

He had to play just like he did in the game.

Either farming monsters,

or on his way to farm monsters.

"There are so many Soul Beasts in this world's Star Dou Great Forest. That'll be more than enough for me to farm."

Ji Feng murmured.

He had no objections.

The next day.

Early in the morning.

On the school field,

a figure appeared.

He wore black clothes and had a close-cropped haircut.

"Yu Xiaogang!"

Ji Feng narrowed his eyes.

What was Gangzi doing here at this hour?

Yu Xiaogang walked over. "Student, stop!"

"Do you need something?"

Ji Feng knew Yu Xiaogang, of course,

but he kept his expression perfectly calm.

Yu Xiaogang looked stern. "Yesterday, you bullied a fellow student. That was a serious violation of the school rules. Do you know that?"

"Who did I bully?"

"Tang San! The work-study students in Dorm Seven—Tang San and Xiao Wu! You think I don't know?"

Yu Xiaogang said coldly.

Looking at Gangzi's condescending expression,

Ji Feng felt a surge of irritation. "All I know is that he's your student, Grandmaster. Are you here to abuse your authority for personal revenge?"

"You!"

"Such a sharp tongue for someone so young!"

"If you obtain your classmates' forgiveness, I, as a teacher at the academy, can let this go."

With that,

a figure appeared behind Yu Xiaogang.

It was Tang San.

Tang San stepped forward.

"Tang San!"

Ji Feng's heart tightened.

If Tang San didn't hold a grudge,

he wouldn't be Tang San.

Sure enough,

as soon as Tang San appeared,

he looked at Ji Feng and said, "Teacher, they used Xiao Yuchen to bully Xiao Wu. I can't forgive them."

Tang San shook his head.

"Fine!"

"Ji Feng, from this day on, you can leave Notting Academy."

"What!?"

Ji Feng's eyes widened.

He stared as Yu Xiaogang made the decision.

He couldn't believe the man had so brazenly announced that he was expelling him.

His family background was far better than Tang San's, whose father was a blacksmith.

And this Yu Xiaogang had decided to expel him from Notting Academy!?

He found it unbelievable.

"I hope that from now on, you'll learn how to respect others first."

"Be kind to others!"

The two brushed past each other.

Tang San warned him.

At that, Ji Feng's heart sank.

"Whatever happens, I should go home first!"

At first, Ji Feng thought Yu Xiaogang had just been speaking offhandedly.

After all, he didn't have that much authority.

To decide whether Ji Feng stayed or left.

But when Ji Feng returned to the dormitory,

he saw that his luggage and clothes had been packed up.

Then, in the blink of an eye, a notice of dismissal

was delivered to him.

"By decision of the academy's leadership, student Ji Feng, you have been dismissed from Notting Academy."

A mentor from Notting Academy spoke.

Showing him no consideration whatsoever.
