'Fatherly Love, Filial Piety' System Binding!

Tang San secretly circulated his Mysterious Heaven Skill, ready to strike at any moment to kill the person playing god.

However, after scanning his surroundings, he found only a few children playing in the water, all of whom were ordinary people without any power.

Furthermore, although he was not familiar with those children, he knew they were all from the village.

This world is truly not simple; how could there be an expert in such a small village?

Having lived for nearly thirty years in his previous life, Tang San realized the situation.

The fact that he could not detect the person's location meant that the individual was an expert far stronger than himself.

Since the owner of this mysterious voice had not killed him, they likely would not harm him now.

Thinking of this, Tang San said softly, "Senior, please reveal yourself!"

Although his voice was low, he knew this mysterious senior could hear him.

"Am I not right before your eyes?"

The voice transformed into text, forming a screen of light visible only to Tang San, appearing right in front of him.

What is this?

What he saw before him exceeded the scope of Tang San's understanding, further confirming that this senior was a supreme expert.

Moreover, this mysterious person even knew he was cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill. Could it be that the other party was also from the Tang Sect and had spied on his cultivation before?

Thinking of this, Tang San knew that no matter how he resisted, it would be futile.

Perhaps this senior actually harbored good intentions toward him?

He was indeed troubled by his inability to break through the second level of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, so he simply asked.

"Senior, why is my Mysterious Heaven Skill unable to break through to the second level?" Tang San asked in a low voice.

One of the reasons he lived so cautiously was that he was too weak, his internal energy was low, and he had no stockpile of exquisite hidden weapons.

Only by breaking through the Mysterious Heaven Skill to a higher level would he feel a sense of security.

"If you want to know, then bind with this system!" A line of text appeared as a light screen.

These were the characters of the Douluo Continent, which the village school taught; Tang San would often sneak outside the school windows to learn when he had free time.

"What is a system?" Tang San asked.

"You can consider the system a treasure, a divine artifact. Once bound, the system will help you grow!"

They say divine objects have spirits. Is the one speaking to me the spirit of that divine artifact? Tang San thought.

He spoke his thoughts aloud, and sure enough, text appeared on the light screen again.

"You can think of it that way!"

Tang San looked around and found that the children were still playing in the water, seemingly unaware of the anomaly here.

The divine artifact is truly miraculous; others seem unable to perceive it? Tang San thought to himself.

He did not know if those children were truly unable to perceive it, or if they had noticed and were pretending not to see.

If it were the latter, those few would have a path to death.

Forget it, let the divine artifact acknowledge its master first, then observe whether those children noticed anything!

Thinking of this, Tang San said softly, "System, I want to bind!"

[Adapting system for host!]

[Tang Sect Revitalization System, Title Cultivation System, Fatherly Kindness and Filial Piety System...]

The lines of text dazzled Tang San.

Fortunately, he cultivated the Purple Demon Eye, which had strengthened his mental power, and his eyesight was quite good, allowing him to quickly extract information.

"Title Cultivation System—so the strong in this world are called Titles?"

As for the Tang Sect Revitalization System and the other miscellaneous systems, he only glanced at them and paid them no further mind.

The debt of upbringing from the Tang Sect was repaid with my life in my previous existence; is that not enough?

Besides, as long as I become a powerhouse, establishing the Tang Sect would be a matter of a single thought, would it not?

If he could choose, Tang San would have chosen the 'Title Cultivation System' as the theme of the system without hesitation.

[System adaptation successful, 'Fatherly Kindness and Filial Piety' system has been bound!]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving a novice gift pack, please check it!]

Seeing that the system divine artifact had acknowledged its master, Tang San went into the kitchen without haste, preparing to cook for his alcoholic father.

"What is the Fatherly Kindness and Filial Piety System?" Tang San was somewhat speechless.

He wanted to become a powerhouse; could it be that the spirit of this divine artifact had not perceived his heart's desire?

"I suppose this will have to do!"

While Tang San stoked the fire to boil the rice porridge, he opened the system to inspect it.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Newbie Gift Pack!]

[Newbie Gift Pack opened successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Introduction to Martial Soul Theory and Life Background!]

"Introduction to Martial Soul Theory? What exactly is a Martial Soul?"

"And my life background... could there be a hidden secret? Is this why the divine artifact matched me with the Fatherly Kindness and Filial Piety System?"

Tang San tossed the Life Background aside and hurriedly opened the Introduction to Martial Soul Theory to examine it.

"So, this world cultivates spirit power instead of internal energy?"

"Martial Soul cultivation requires absorbing spirit rings to break through bottlenecks."

"Because my Martial Soul hasn't awakened and I haven't obtained a spirit ring, is that why I can't break through the second level of the Mysterious Heaven Skill?"

"I must awaken my Martial Soul to continue cultivating. It seems I need to inquire about how to awaken it!"

Having lived for over thirty years, he was very guarded against this world.

That was why he hadn't asked about the affairs of this world; otherwise, he wouldn't have been ignorant of the annual Martial Soul awakening ceremony.

After finishing the Introduction to Martial Soul Theory, Tang San gained some understanding of how to cultivate in this world.

"Truly a divine artifact; the rewards provided exactly what I needed!"

Following that, his curiosity about the background of this body piqued, so he opened the Life Background book.

Before long, he had finished reading the bizarre life story of this body.

"So my mother was actually a hundred-thousand-year-old transformed spirit beast who was deceived by my father into committing herself to him."

"Tang Hao's goal was my mother's hundred-thousand-year spirit ring!"

"Did Tang Hao expose my mother's identity to attract the covetous eyes of powerful figures, then force her to sacrifice herself to him?"

"And did Tang Hao eventually bring disaster upon himself, accidentally killing the Martial Soul Hall Pope and bringing catastrophe upon his sect, forcing him to live in seclusion here?"

Tang San felt deep regret for his mother's plight, and the thought of Tang Hao's current situation brought him a sense of satisfaction.

"No wonder he is so harsh toward me, his son; he never viewed me as a son at all!"

"Wait, no. Tang Hao is a Title Douluo, one of the strongest people in this world. Could he have already noticed that something is wrong with me?"

Thinking of this, Tang San felt incredibly panicked. That was a Title Douluo; there was no way he could defeat him.

"Yes, he must have seen through my identity and realized I am not his son."

"But since he never liked the son he had with a spirit beast, he just turned a blind eye to it?"

Tang San felt he had seen through everything, and then he looked at the theme of the system: 'Fatherly Kindness and Filial Piety'.

"So that's it. The divine artifact truly has a spirit; this is what 'Fatherly Kindness and Filial Piety' means."

"But what else does this system do?" Tang San wondered.

Just then, a few lines of text popped up on the system interface.

[As long as the host completes system tasks, you can obtain corresponding rewards. Matching a newbie task for the host now!]

[Task: Retaliate against Tang Hao by adding an ingredient to his breakfast!]

[Task Description: Tang Hao is the enemy who killed your mother and has abused you for six years. This hatred is irreconcilable. However, you are too weak right now and can only take a small revenge on Tang Hao.]
