Su Yu stood in the center of the six black stones. As Su Yuntao injected his soul power, a warm current instantly surged through his entire body.

He felt a sharp stinging sensation in his eyes, and in the next second, the colors of the entire world shifted before his gaze.

The system panels that previously required intense focus to perceive were now crystal clear; even the data streams behind the system cascaded before his eyes like a waterfall.

"Is this your Martial Soul? Eyes?"

Su Yuntao stared at Su Yu's now-golden pupils and asked with uncertainty.

Body-type Martial Souls were rare, but they were not unheard of.

Su Yu remained silent.

He knew clearly that this was simply the official awakening of his first Martial Soul, Eye of Truth.

From this moment on, these eyes were no longer a passive skill, but a true Martial Soul that belonged to him.

However, he could feel another force restless within his body, like a beast straining to break free from its cage.

Su Yu slowly raised his right hand, and a mass of gray mist gathered in his palm.

Within the mist, a phantom image resembling an eraser flickered on and off.

Twin Martial Souls!!!

Su Yuntao gasped. What kind of miraculous day was this?

Not only had there been three geniuses and one case of Innate Full Soul Power Blue Silver Grass, but now a Twin Martial Souls user had popped up as well?!

"What on earth is this second Martial Soul of yours? A brick?"

Su Yuntao looked at the dull gray block, his face full of confusion.

Su Yu's mind was in an uproar.

Only he knew what this "eraser" truly was.

The moment his second Martial Soul awakened, a stream of information flooded his mind:

[Second Martial Soul: Conceptual Eraser (Rule-type).]

[Ability: Consumes soul power to forcibly erase or alter any text, task, reward, or penalty on any system panel within line of sight. The extent of the modification depends on the soul power consumed.]

Su Yu forcibly suppressed his pounding heart.

This wasn't just a Martial Soul; this was the literal father of all system hosts!

While others carried systems, he had become the GM of the systems themselves!

"Ahem, it might be a mutated brick Martial Soul."

Su Yu spouted nonsense and quickly retracted the Conceptual Eraser.

This thing must never be revealed; it was his ultimate trump card for surviving in this dark forest.

Though Su Yuntao was full of questions, he still handed over the crystal ball. "Come, test your soul power."

Su Yu placed his hand on it, and the crystal ball instantly shone with blinding light—another case of Innate Full Soul Power.

Su Yuntao was already numb.

He felt as though his worldview was being ground into the dirt.

At this moment, Zhang San and Wang Yuyan in the corner were glaring viciously at Su Yu.

Li Hu having been inexplicably crippled had made them nervous, but their systems were still relentlessly pushing tasks.

The Invincible Choice System above Zhang San's head refreshed once more:

[Option 1: Take advantage of Su Yu's unstable awakening to launch a sneak attack and cripple his Martial Soul. Reward: 1,000-year Soul Ring x1.]

[Option 2: Endure and wait for an opportunity. Reward: One turtle shell.]

Zhang San chose Option 1 without a second thought.

He was a child of destiny with a system; how could he be a coward?

He stealthily summoned his Thunder Sword, preparing to backstab Su Yu the moment he turned around.

Su Yu's Eye of Truth saw everything with perfect clarity.

A nearly imperceptible cold sneer curled the corner of his mouth.

Want to sneak attack me? Then I'll use you to sharpen my new Martial Soul.

Su Yu did not turn around; instead, he secretly activated the newly awakened Conceptual Eraser.

More than half of his Innate Full Soul Power was instantly drained, and a gray force of rules silently spread out, plastering itself directly onto the system panel above Zhang San's head.

Su Yu focused his mind, erased the two characters "Su Yu" from the system panel, and replaced them with "Wang Dachui."

The system notification in Zhang San's mind changed instantly:

[Option 1: Take advantage of Wang Dachui's unstable smithing to launch a sneak attack and cripple his hammer. Reward: 1,000-year Soul Ring x1.]

Zhang San froze.

Wang Dachui?

That blacksmith?

Why did the Infinite Reincarnation System suddenly change its KPI?

But the temptation of a thousand-year spirit ring was simply too great.

Zhang San was blinded by greed; without a second thought, he turned around and bolted out of the Martial Soul Hall, heading straight for the blacksmith shop next door.

"What's he doing?"

Su Yuntao looked bewildered.

Su Yu shrugged. "Maybe he's desperate for the bathroom."

Inside the blacksmith shop, Wang Dachui was swinging his hammer, and the Infinite Reincarnation System hovering above his head was displaying the progress of his side quest.

Suddenly, Zhang San charged in, brandishing the Thunder Sword, and roared, "Old man, taste my blade!"

Wang Dachui frowned, a cold, murderous intent belonging to a reincarnator flashing in his eyes.

"You're courting death."

Wang Dachui didn't even bother to manifest his martial soul; he simply swung the red-hot iron hammer in his hand.

"Bang!"

Zhang San, along with his sword, was sent flying and embedded directly into the mud wall opposite, his fate unknown.

Wang Dachui snorted coldly and went back to his smithing.

A line of text drifted across the panel above his head: [Killed one low-level reincarnator/native, reward: 50 reincarnation points.]

Back in the Martial Soul Hall, Wang Yuyan watched this scene, her face turning pale with fright.

The Green Tea Tycoon System above her head was sounding frantic alarms:

[Warning! Extremely dangerous environment detected! Host is advised to evacuate immediately!!!]

Wang Yuyan didn't dare stay a moment longer; she scrambled out of the Martial Soul Hall, not even sparing a glance for Li Hu.

A crisis had been resolved by Su Yu without a sound.

"Brother Yu, you're so amazing."

Tang Wu leaned in, her large eyes sparkling with stars.

Although she didn't know what Su Yu had done, she instinctively felt that it was Su Yu who had protected her.

"Basic operation, don't be surprised."

Su Yu clapped his hands, hiding his merit and fame.

Su Yuntao wiped the sweat from his brow and announced the end of the ceremony.

He left Holy Soul Village with a complicated heart; he had to report what happened today to the Martial Soul Hall immediately.

The villagers slowly dispersed as well.

Old Jack took a deep look at Su Yu before walking away slowly, leaning on his cane.

Tang Hao was still lying under the tree drinking as if nothing had happened, as if none of this had anything to do with him.

Su Yu held Tang Wu's hand as they walked home.

He looked up at the sky.

Through the Eye of Truth, he could see the sky of the Douluo Continent, densely interwoven with countless threads of rules representing "systems," "cheats," and "reincarnation spaces."

These threads were frantically draining the origin power of this plane.

If these parasites weren't cleared out, this world would be GG sooner or later.

"Brother Yu, what are you looking at?"

Tang Wu followed his gaze, but she couldn't see anything.

"I'm looking at a vegetable patch overgrown with weeds."

Su Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at the soft and cute Tang Wu beside him, making a silent decision in his heart.

Since the heavens had sent him here with a martial soul specifically designed to counter systems, he wouldn't be polite.

From this day on, this Douluo Continent stage would be run by him, Su Yu.

All those "sneaky rats" carrying their messy systems, get ready to face a true dimensional strike!!!

"Little Wu, do you want to go see the world outside?"

Su Yu asked with a smile.
