[Will of Douluo Planet]: Avenger, your current chat group permissions are too low. We are, after all, merely echoes of the future; there is a limit to how much we can help you.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: However, the Concealment Mark I gave you should be able to resolve the threat from Tang Hao that you are worried about.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: How about it? Am I not a good friend? ๑ᵒᯅᵒ๑
Xiao Chenyu stared at the cute emoticon on the screen.
He then looked down at the pale golden "Forbidden Passage" symbol emerging on the back of his hand.
The corners of his mouth began to rise.
They rose crazily!
They curled up so high they nearly reached his eyes, ready to dance the Dance of the Little Swans.
A good friend?
A damn good friend!
This thing was practically a "Get Out of Jail Free" card—Promax, Tang Hao Special Edition!
"Concealment Mark": A special mark branded by the Will of Douluo Planet with the mission of "Expelling Tang Hao."
It can influence the rules of Douluo Planet, obscuring Tang Hao's attention and hostility toward you and the things happening around you.
Valid for three years. (Note: Becomes ineffective after actively attacking Tang Hao. At that time, please prepare your own coffin; it is recommended to choose a site with good feng shui in advance.)
"This concealment effect is a bit too overpowered."
Xiao Chenyu clicked his tongue in wonder.
However, a second thought made him unable to resist complaining.
"Tang Hao is, after all, the dignified Haotian Douluo, a level 95 Title Douluo powerhouse. To be messed with by a mark as if he's been set to 'Do Not Disturb for Xiao Chenyu' mode—won't he find that strange?"
If he were walking down the street one day and clearly heard himself cursing "Tang San is a dog's son," would Tang Hao subconsciously ignore it?
Forget it, who cares.
As long as it works!
Xiao Chenyu let out a long breath, feeling much more relaxed.
This was equivalent to having a three-year safety protection period.
At the very least, during these three years, he wouldn't have to worry about eating hotpot and singing songs, only to have a Clear Sky Hammer suddenly fall from the sky and smash him into a little cookie.
[Goddess of Life]: Good child, all Xiao Zi and I can give you right now is a wisp of the power of life and destruction.
[God of Destruction]: It is enough to improve your martial soul and talent.
[God of Destruction]: If you cannot even withstand this bit of fortune, then you are not worthy of being an Avenger.
[Goddess of Life]: Xiao Zi, don't be so harsh.
[Goddess of Life]: @Xiao Chenyu, don't mind him. Your Uncle Zi just has this stubborn mouth but a soft heart.
[God of Destruction]: Where is my mouth stubborn?
[Goddess of Life]: Look, he's being stubborn again.
[God of Destruction]: ...
Xiao Chenyu watched the conversation in the group and nearly failed to hold back his laughter.
"Good grief, the dignified God King of Destruction, the Law Enforcer of the God Realm, cold and majestic in front of others, turns straight into a 'whatever you say' mode in front of his wife."
Is this the God Realm version of being "henpecked"?
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Oh, oh, I suggest you claim the red packet from the little spider first, Avenger. There will be an unexpected harvest! ~•͈ᴗ⁃͈✧
"Unexpected harvest?"
Xiao Chenyu's eyes lit up.
Since the Will of Douluo Planet specifically reminded him, this harvest definitely wasn't ordinary!
Could it be some heaven-defying treasure?
Without a second thought, he clicked on the red packet sent by the Human-Faced Demon Spider race.
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining "Human-Faced Demon Spider Origin"!]
A purple-black ball of light hovered in his palm.
Xiao Chenyu clicked on the description.
"Human-Faced Demon Spider Origin": A special existence condensed from the hatred and origin power of the entire Human-Faced Demon Spider race, which will be exterminated by Tang San in the future. Using it allows you to awaken a second martial soul—Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor!
Note: This martial soul comes with a hostility BUFF toward Tang San. When the holder sees Tang San, the martial soul will automatically broadcast "kill kill kill" in the holder's mind, doubling the attack power against Tang San!
A second martial soul!
Xiao Chenyu sprang up from the ground with a "whoosh."
This leap was a full three feet high.
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!"
"Twin martial souls!"
This was a top-tier talent that could be counted on one hand across the entire Douluo Continent!
How many people on the whole continent possessed twin martial souls? You couldn't even fill one hand if you counted them on your fingers!
That cheater Tang San was only able to walk sideways in the future because of his twin martial souls.
Oh wait, no, he was already cheating by default; the twin martial souls were just one of his many hacks.
"Am I going to have twin martial souls too?!"
Xiao Chenyu was so excited his hands were shaking.
He was shaking like the legs of an old man in winter who forgot to wear his long johns.
Without hesitation, he chose to fuse.
A cold, sinister power suddenly surged into his body, rampaging wildly along his meridians!
That sensation was different from the violence and wildness he felt when he awakened his wolf martial soul.
This power was more sinister and bizarre, as if a thousand spiders were holding a track meet inside his blood vessels!
But Xiao Chenyu wasn't afraid; instead, he was trembling with excitement.
Because he could clearly feel his second martial soul taking shape within his body!
"Hum--"
A phantom slowly emerged behind his back.
It was a pitch-black Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor.
Its eight spider spears were like eight spears made of refined iron.
The pattern on its abdomen, which resembled a human face, was hideous and terrifying, radiating an aura as horrific as the abyss.
If one looked closely, the expression on that "human face" seemed to be silently roaring--"Tang San, die!"
"It's done!"
Xiao Chenyu clenched his fists and let out a long howl toward the sky.
"From today on, I am also a genius with twin martial souls!"
In his excitement, he didn't forget to claim the red packets from the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life.
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining "a wisp of Destruction Power"!]
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining "a wisp of Life Power"!]
Two completely different forces surged into his body simultaneously.
On the left was destruction!
Violent, overbearing, capable of destroying heaven and earth.
It felt like a purple thunder beast was rampaging through his meridians!
On the right was life!
Warm, gentle, and endless.
It felt like a pool of emerald-green hot spring water slowly flowing through his limbs and bones!
The moment the two forces converged within Xiao Chenyu's body--
He felt both of his martial souls tremble at the same time!
First was the wolf martial soul.
It was enveloped by the power of destruction.
The originally ordinary gray wolf shadow expanded rapidly.
Its fur turned a deep, dark purple, its wolf eyes ignited with purple destruction lightning, and mysterious destruction patterns appeared on its fangs and claws, each line silently declaring:
"I am destruction."
Martial soul mutation evolution--Destruction Demon Wolf King!
Immediately following was the Human-Faced Demon Spider martial soul.
It was imbued with the power of life.
Emerald-green life patterns appeared on its pitch-black carapace.
A touch of divinity and vitality was added to its originally hideous and terrifying aura.
At the tips of its eight spider spears, tiny flowers of life quietly bloomed.
God knows what kind of scene it was to have flowers blooming on a spider.
Yet, it was bizarrely harmonious.
Martial soul mutation evolution--Life God Spider Emperor!
Xiao Chenyu stood rooted to the spot, looking as if he had been struck by lightning.
He wasn't struck into stupidity.
He was struck into a state of ecstasy, nearly ascending to the heavens!
Is this the power of a golden finger?
[Will of Douluo Planet]: @Xiao Chenyu, Avenger, how is it? Are you pleasantly surprised? (≧▽≦)
[Xiao Chenyu]: Surprised... so surprised I nearly ascended on the spot.
[Xiao Chenyu]: Great ones, what level are my two martial souls now?
[Goddess of Life]: Your wolf martial soul has fused with the power of destruction, evolving into the top-tier beast martial soul—Destruction Demon Wolf King.
[Goddess of Life]: Your Human-Faced Demon Spider martial soul has fused with the power of life, dissolving its toxins and malevolent factors, evolving into the top-tier beast martial soul—Life God Spider Emperor.
[Goddess of Life]: Both are top-tier martial souls, and their attributes are mutually restraining yet complementary, much like the powers of Xiao Zi and myself.
[God of Destruction]: If you can obtain more power of destruction and life in the future, they have the potential to evolve into god-tier martial souls.
[God of Destruction]: Of course, that is provided you can survive until that point.
[Goddess of Life]: Xiao Zi, can't you say something encouraging?
[God of Destruction]: ...Good luck.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Pfft, hahahaha! The God King of Destruction's "good luck" is way too perfunctory! (≧∇≦)ノ
God-tier martial souls!
Xiao Chenyu drew a sharp breath, and then his mouth stretched all the way to his ears.
The amount of exercise his mouth had received today was truly excessive; he had lost count of how many times it had curled upward in madness.
"Hahahaha, I'm a top-tier genius now too!"
[Human-Faced Demon Spider]: God-tier evolution! Beat Tang San to death! Beat Tang San to death! Beat Tang San to death! (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Haha, Xiao Zhu is truly obsessed with Tang San.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: However, Avenger, you should now have the qualifications to go toe-to-toe with Tang San. When are you going to teach that bastard a lesson? Hurry, hurry, hurry! |・з・)。
[Goddess of Life]: I don't think we should rush this.
[Goddess of Life]: @Xiao Chenyu, good child, now is not the time to be happy. Tang San is, after all, the Child of Destiny; you must make thorough preparations.
Xiao Chenyu slowly reined in his smile, his expression turning solemn.
[Xiao Chenyu]: I understand.
[Xiao Chenyu]: I understand all too well.
He wouldn't let himself get carried away just because he had obtained a golden finger and think he was invincible.
In web novels, those who get a cheat and go out to flaunt it usually don't live past three chapters.
[Xiao Chenyu]: I know exactly how troublesome that guy Tang San is.
Twin martial souls?
That was merely Tang San's basic configuration.
He also possessed the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Purple Demon Eye, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and the Hundred-Fold Hidden Weapon techniques... his arsenal was so vast he was like a walking armory.
Furthermore, Tang San's personality was insidious, vengeful, hypocritical, and petty.
He had felt something was off when he read the novel in his past life.
That guy would say, "Those who dare not stir up trouble are mediocre."
Yet, whenever he stirred up trouble, it was always others who ended up suffering.
What was most disgusting was that he always stood on the moral high ground.
Killing soul beasts was "punishing evil and promoting good."
Snatching opportunities was "making the best use of everything."
Suppressing others was because "their hearts were not upright."
In short, anyone who opposed him was a great villain.
And those who hung out with him... didn't necessarily have a good ending either.
The degree of circular logic in this set of beliefs could be called the most famous hypocrisy in Douluo!
Xiao Chenyu continued typing in the group chat.
[Xiao Chenyu]: Don't be impatient, everyone. Retaliating against Tang San is definitely on the agenda, but I need to make some preparations.
[Xiao Chenyu]: Increasing my strength is the foundation. I need to hunt soul beasts as soon as possible to obtain my first soul ring and at least break through to the Soul Master realm.
[Xiao Chenyu]: According to the timeline, Tang San won't join Nuoding Academy for about another year. He should still be living in Holy Soul Village with Tang Hao, forging iron, practicing martial arts, and being abused by his old man every day.
[Xiao Chenyu]: So, I would like to ask you all, what strategic approach should we choose?
[Xiao Chenyu]: Option one: Wait for the rabbit to come to the tree and wait for him to arrive at Nuoding Academy?
[Xiao Chenyu]: Or option two: Take the initiative, go to Holy Soul Village, and give him a "surprise"?
