Lin Ye transmigrated to the Douluo Continent.

Good news: he was born into a decent enough family.

Bad news: on the day he awakened his martial soul at age six, he was stunned.

A lotus root.

His martial soul was a segment of lotus root.

The white, crisp kind—the sort that would stretch into strings if you took a bite.

Innate Soul Power: two and a half levels.

Barely enough to cultivate; basically, have dreams, but don't expect too much.

At the time, Lin Ye thought, "Good Heavens, are you messing with me?"

Others transmigrate with cheat codes, but he started with nothing but a lotus root.

He cultivated diligently for six years, finally reaching level fifteen thanks to his family's various resources.

His family figured he shouldn't just stay home and live off them forever.

So, they sent him to the best Soul Master Academy on the entire continent.

Shrek Academy.

Did Lin Ye want to go?

No.

To be honest, he didn't have any good feelings toward that bunch at Shrek.

The double-standard Tang San, the sleazy Three Scoundrels, and that Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang—just thinking about them was nauseating.

But the problem was, where else could he go?

No god-level martial soul, no system cheat.

He was just an ordinary food-type soul master.

Forget it, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Besides, this was the Peerless Tang Sect era, and Tang San and the others were long gone.

In these times, with evil soul masters running rampant, staying at Shrek Academy for the early stages was relatively safer.

Shrek City, Shrek Academy.

The Freshman Teaching Building was as noisy as a vegetable market today.

Everywhere were freshmen carrying big and small bags, their faces filled with excitement or nervousness.

Lin Ye had just seen his family off and was preparing to go in to register.

The line was quite long, so he looked around in boredom.

Then, he noticed a young man in front of him.

Short black hair, grey cloth clothes, carrying a small bundle, with a well-proportioned figure.

Ordinary—the kind you absolutely wouldn't be able to find in a crowd.

But the two people beside him were anything but ordinary.

A young girl, fifteen or sixteen years old, with a ponytail; a light blue combat suit outlined her budding, youthful figure.

She had a nearly perfect oval face, large and lively eyes, and radiated a youthful, spirited energy.

The other youth was of a similar age, with short dark blue hair, looking gentle and refined. A lazy smile hung on his lips, and he had his hands behind his head; he looked incredibly punchable.

But one had to admit, he was indeed quite handsome.

The key was that the conversation between these two drifted into Lin Ye's ears.

"Xiao Ya, how do you think the quality of the freshmen is this year?"

"Who cares? Regardless, we can't waste that exemption quota for our Tang Sect."

Tang Sect, Xiao Ya, Tang Ya?

Beibei?

Lin Ye's brain buzzed.

That grey-clad youth in front—

Huo Yuhao?!

The future God of Emotions, the Child of Destiny of the Douluo Continent, the possessor of a million-year soul ring.

He was standing just three spots ahead of him.

Lin Ye's first reaction: should he go up and latch onto his thigh?

Thinking about it seriously, this seemed like a bright path.

Hanging out with the Son of Destiny meant not only living the high life but, at the very least, never having to worry about resources.

But in the next second, he thought of Tang San.

He thought of Dai Yuhao.

His stomach churned.

Forget it.

Cling to their coattails?

In the end, you'd just be trained like a dog.

Dai Yuhao wasn't much better than God King Tang!

Though he, Lin Ye, was just a lotus root, he didn't want to be a sycophantic one!

Rather than being manipulated by God King Tang, he would rather live freely and unrestrained in this mortal world.

"My fate is determined by me, not by the heavens!"

Just then, a voice exploded in his mind.

[Password correct! Congratulations, Host, System enabled!]

Lin Ye: "???"

He froze for a second.

Then, while his heart surged with wild excitement, he remained as steady as an old dog on the outside.

Brother System? You should have said there was a password! You could have at least given a hint beforehand!

I really thought I was going to have to tough it out for the rest of my life as nothing but a lotus root...

A pale blue light screen appeared out of thin air in front of him.

Text emerged upon it:

[Master of the System!]

Lin Ye glanced left and right.

People were coming and going all around, but no one reacted.

Fine, only I can see it.

The screen continued to display content:

[The Master of the System can distribute systems and tasks to others; once they complete the tasks, the Host can obtain lottery chances!]

[The higher the talent of the recipient, the better the potential rewards.]

[The higher the difficulty of the tasks completed by the recipient, the more likely the chance to obtain critical strike rewards!]

[Newbie reward: Initial system points: 500.]

[100 system points can be obtained each month.]

[Each time a recipient completes a task, the Host also obtains corresponding system points.]

[Distributing tasks consumes system points based on their difficulty.]

[System distribution cost: 100 points]

[Tasks for the recipient can be set at will, with rewards and punishments automatically generated by the system based on the task.]

Lin Ye stared at the screen, his eyes widening further and further.

Wait—

Does this mean I don't have to do the tasks myself?

I let others do the tasks, and I get to lie back and draw prizes?

He took a deep breath, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

Brother System, you truly understand me.

Since that's the case, let's give it a try.

The higher the target's talent, the better the rewards.

Then—

I choose you, Huo Yuhao!

Lin Ye silently recited in his heart: Bind Huo Yuhao.

[Ding! Consumed 100 system points, Huo Yuhao bound successfully! System has been distributed to him!]

At the same time.

At the gates of Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao was listening to Tang Ya and Beibei introduce the academy when a voice suddenly exploded in his brain.

[Detected Son of Fortune, Jiahao System successfully bound!]

Huo Yuhao kept his expression unchanged.

Is it the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm? Did it wake up?

He swept a glance at Tang Ya and Beibei beside him.

The two were chatting happily, showing no reaction at all.

They didn't hear it?

The next second, a translucent panel materialized out of thin air before his eyes.

It seemed only he could see it.

A few lines of text were written on it:

[Detected Son of Fortune, Jiahao System successfully bound!]

[No matter how strong your spirit, it's better to act grand.]

[From now on, walk the Douluo world, and who shall not know my grandeur!]

[Remember: Do not let others know of The System's existence!]

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Grandeur? What the hell was that?

However, he quickly grasped the key point: "Son of Fortune."

The System said he was the Son of Fortune?

Huo Yuhao's heart stirred slightly.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and now another system...

Could it be that these are also my unique opportunities?

He lowered his eyelids, the corners of his mouth curling into an extremely faint arc.

Interesting.

A new message popped up on the system panel in front of Lin Ye:

[System binding successful, current remaining system points: 400]

[Obtained system binding reward!]

[Magical Artifact: Fire-Tipped Spear!]

Lin Ye moved his consciousness, as if seeing deep into his own empty sea of consciousness, where a gold-red double-headed spear hovered.

Flames flowed along the spearhead, as if waiting for him to reach out and grasp it.

Lin Ye's eyes lit up.

Binding gave a reward? And a magical artifact of this caliber?

That's Nezha's weapon!

Brother System, you're too generous!

He grinned, already starting to calculate in his mind.

Alright, let's arrange a task for Huo Yuhao!

Seeing that it was almost Huo Yuhao's turn to handle his registration, the system panel popped up in front of him again.

[Ding--]

[Obtained C-rank task: Shout "Ah! Ah! Ah!" three times, with each shout higher than the last]

[Task time limit: 5 minutes!]

[Task completion reward: Soul Power increased by one level!]

[Task failure penalty: Soul Power decreased by one level!]

Huo Yuhao's pupils constricted.
