The carriage slowly came to a halt before the towering gates of Suotuo City.
Su Yu casually tossed a few Silver Soul Coins, readily paying the entry fee for the three of them and the toll for the carriage.
Seeing their lavish display of wealth, the city guards immediately put on fawning smiles and respectfully waved them through.
Su Yu lifted the carriage curtain, leading Tang Wu and Xiao Wu as they hopped down.
The trio successfully entered the bustling, exceptionally prosperous Suotuo City.
The wide streets were paved with smooth bluestone, spacious enough for four carriages to travel side by side.
Shops lined both sides of the street, with various signs and banners fluttering in the wind.
Restaurants, blacksmiths, soul tool shops, and fabric stores—everything one could imagine was there.
The hawking of merchants, the neighing of horses, and the chatter of pedestrians intertwined to form a vibrant, flourishing tapestry of life.
However, the moment he stepped through the gate, Su Yu's footsteps came to an abrupt halt.
His brows arched slightly, and his gaze instantly turned profound.
The very instant he crossed the threshold, he felt the intense fluctuations radiating from several high-level System Panels intertwined in the air.
These fluctuations were entirely different from the low-level life systems found in Nuoding City.
The system fluctuations in Nuoding City were like flickering candlelight, but the ones here were like erupting volcanoes, carrying an aggressive and rule-warping aura of dominance.
The energy in the air was forcibly pulled by these high-level systems, forming invisible vortices of spiritual energy.
Ordinary soul masters could never detect this underlying logical disorder, but to someone like Su Yu, who had mastered the power of rules, it was as obvious as a searchlight lit in the dead of night.
I certainly didn't come to the wrong place; the prey here is fat enough to drip oil. Su Yu sneered in his heart.
Without hesitation, he unreservedly activated the Eye of Truth.
"Hum--"
Deep within Su Yu's eyes, two clusters of brilliant golden light ignited instantly.
Supported by his powerful soul power, his vision shifted; the bustling streets and noisy crowds around him instantly lost their color, transforming into a microscopic realm composed of countless rule-based lines.
He shifted his gaze, his eyes like two peerless sharp swords, scanning the entire city.
His sight pierced through layers of building walls and dense crowds without the slightest obstruction.
In the microscopic vision of the Eye of Truth, several glaring red panel tags floated prominently above the sky and ground of Suotuo City.
These tags radiated a thick, bloody light, indicating that these systems had deeply bound themselves to their hosts and were frantically draining the Origin Fragments of this world.
Su Yu focused his gaze toward the direction of Shrek Academy outside the city.
The system fluctuations there were the densest and most violent.
Above that remote village, several massive, absurdly glowing high-level cheat tags flaunted their existence without restraint.
Su Yu zoomed in, clearly seeing the specific text on those tags.
On the left, a massive panel radiating a lewd, pink light clearly read: More Children More Blessings System.
Below the panel, lewd task prompts scrolled frantically: "Detected a top-tier furnace. Main Quest: Forcibly marry a noble girl of the Star Luo Empire. Reward for birthing offspring: one 100,000-year soul ring and one God-level Martial Soul Evolution card!"
On the right, a panel radiating dark gold light was even more arrogant, flashing with the words: Dragon King Son-in-law System.
The task list contained absurd instructions: "The three-year period of forbearance has ended. Immediately go to the gates of Shrek Academy and kneel in public. After suffering humiliation, trigger the 'Ten Thousand Soldiers Arrive to Welcome' effect. Reward: one Titled Douluo cultivation experience card!"
Beyond that, there were things like the Invincible Sword Drawing System and the Starting Sign-in Chaos Body System.
All sorts of gaudy, ridiculous tags that completely defied the common sense of cultivation in Douluo Continent were densely packed into that small patch of sky.
Looking at these absurd tasks and rewards, Su Yu sneered.
The golden light in his eyes slowly receded as he exited the microscopic vision of the Eye of Truth.
Truly ridiculous to the extreme. Su Yu mocked inwardly.
It seemed the plane's origin of this world had been riddled with holes by these cheaters who had popped out of nowhere.
The defenses of the plane's will had completely collapsed, allowing even vulgar, illogical systems like More Children More Blessings and Dragon King Son-in-law to openly emerge and snatch away destiny.
Relying on the unreasonable rewards granted by their systems, these people treated this world as a playground to vent their selfish desires and act out their power fantasies.
They didn't need to cultivate diligently or endure life-and-death trials; they only needed to act like clowns and complete the vulgar tasks assigned by the system to instantly gain power that others couldn't obtain in several lifetimes.
However, your good days are coming to an end. Su Yu clenched his fists, feeling the vast power within him capable of rewriting all rules.
The higher-level and more absurd these systems were, the greater the Origin Fragments they contained within them.
To Su Yu, these cheaters weren't high-and-mighty protagonists, but a group of fattened pigs waiting to be slaughtered.
The Conceptual Eraser in his hand existed specifically to erase these vulgar systems.
At this moment, Xiao Wu and Tang Wu were standing by the street, filled with excitement.
Having grown up in a small place like Nuoding City, they had never seen the prosperity of a major city like Suotuo City.
Xiao Wu's rabbit ears stood straight up in excitement, her ruby-like eyes filled with curiosity.
She looked at the dazzling array of shops on both sides of the street and the exquisite jewelry and weapons radiating soul power in the display windows, feeling momentarily overwhelmed.
"Wow! Su Yu, look! The dress hanging in that fabric shop is so beautiful—it's a hundred times better than anything sold in Nuoding City!" Xiao Wu pointed toward a high-end tailor shop in the distance, tugging on Su Yu's sleeve and exclaiming excitedly.
Although Tang Wu was relatively reserved by nature, she too was captivated by the bustling scene.
She clung tightly to Su Yu's arm, watching a pastry shop nearby that emitted an enticing aroma, and quietly swallowed her saliva.
"Brother Yu, this Suotuo City is truly massive, and there are so many people." Tang Wu turned her head, her clear, deep blue eyes fixed on Su Yu as she asked obediently, "Where shall we stay next? Should we find an inn first, or head straight to that Shrek Academy?"
Hearing Tang Wu's question, Su Yu reined in his wandering thoughts.
He stood in the middle of the crowded street, surrounded by merchants and Spirit Masters coming and going.
He did not answer Tang Wu's question immediately, but instead slowly turned his head, casting his deep gaze toward the direction of Shrek Academy outside the city.
With the vulgar
System Panel
he had just seen via the
Eye of Truth
replaying in his mind, Su Yu looked toward Shrek Academy, tapped his temple lightly with his right index finger, and a cruel smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
