From Humble Wage Slave to Savior, All It Takes is One Second

It was three days later by the time he returned to Nuoding City.

In the backyard of the City Lord's mansion, on the martial arts training grounds.

Xiao Chenyu sat cross-legged on a slab of bluestone.

Before him sat the stalagmite pillar he had hauled back over a thousand miles from the Soul Hunting Forest.

Its cut surface was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a cold light under the sun.

This thing had now become his exclusive "trophy display board," and served as a reminder of three things.

First, he was strong.

Second, he was also in danger; an old-school fierce beast with over four hundred thousand years of cultivation might be keeping a grudge against him.

On the surface, he was the young master of Nuoding City, a dual-martial soul possessor, a genius youth who had just absorbed a top-tier thousand-year soul ring, and a star of the future with limitless prospects.

In reality, he was panicking like crazy.

A direct descendant of Lord Bear...

Xiao Chenyu muttered to himself, his mind conjuring an image of a heaven-piercing, earth-shattering Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear swatting him into the dirt.

The image was too vivid; he didn't dare to keep thinking about it.

[Xiao Chenyu]: @Will of Douluo Planet, is there really no way to get another Concealment Mark targeting Lord Bear?

[Will of Douluo Planet]: I'm afraid I can't help you there~ The current Chat Group permissions are too low. Being able to give you one Concealment Mark was already the final ripple of the Group Master's power.

[Xiao Chenyu]: Then what about a way to raise the permissions?

[Will of Douluo Planet]: Simple! Beat up Tang San more, steal more of his opportunities, and make him feel more pain! The more the Heavenly Dao's fortune is weakened, the more power the Chat Group can mobilize!

[Human-Faced Demon Spider]: Beat up Tang San! Beat up Tang San! Beat up Tang San!

[Xiao Chenyu]: If I could beat up Tang San right now, would I be here worrying?

[Xiao Chenyu]: That guy is still swinging a hammer with his dad in Holy Soul Village. I can't exactly rush to his front door to beat him up, can I?

[God of Destruction]: Hmph, when it comes down to it, it's just a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear with slightly higher cultivation. Is it really worth being this afraid?

Xiao Chenyu watched the God of Destruction's message, the corner of his mouth twitching.

[Xiao Chenyu]: My dear God King godfather, you are the God King of Destruction. You could wipe out a hundred Lord Bears with a single sneeze, so of course you aren't afraid.

[Xiao Chenyu]: And me? Facing Lord Bear, I'm the one who would be wiped out a hundred times over by a single sneeze.

[God of Destruction]: ...

[Goddess of Life]: Xiao Zi, say a little less.

[Goddess of Life]: Chenyu is still just a child. It's a good thing to have a sense of awe.

[Goddess of Life]: For his current level of cultivation, Lord Bear is indeed an insurmountable existence.

Xiao Chenyu sighed.

He lay back on the bluestone of the training ground, staring blankly at the sky.

The sky over Nuoding City was very blue, the clouds were very white, and the sunlight was very warm.

But there was a dark cloud in his heart.

It was shaped like a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, baring its fangs at him.

[Xiao Chenyu]: @Will of Douluo Planet, you are the incarnation of the Will of Douluo Planet, and the Star Dou Great Forest is theoretically your territory too.

[Xiao Chenyu]: Can't you just say a word to Lord Bear and have it turn a blind eye?

[Will of Douluo Planet]: I'm only a lingering echo right now. Being able to know what's happening on Douluo Planet is already quite impressive; influencing reality is very difficult.

[Will of Douluo Planet]: However, if you can bully Tang San until he cries for his daddy and mommy, this baby can recover more power!

[Will of Douluo Planet]: By then, let alone making Lord Bear suffer, I could even make it dance the Subject Three on the spot! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

[Xiao Chenyu]: Even Subject Three... just how messy is your knowledge base? Isn't that a bit too much of a leap?

[Will of Douluo Planet]: Hehe, this Will is well-read across ten thousand worlds, I know a little bit of memes from every world! (≧∀≦)

Xiao Chenyu rolled his eyes and closed the chat screen.

It seemed he couldn't count on the Will of Douluo Planet to cover for him in the short term.

He would have to carry this ticking time bomb that was Lord Bear on his own for now.

He had to carry it even if he couldn't, after all, he was the one who had personally slaughtered the beast's descendant.

[Goddess of Life]: Chenyu, don't be too anxious.

[Goddess of Life]: Although that Bear King is powerful, it will not easily leave the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

[Goddess of Life]: By the time you have the opportunity to come into direct contact with it, your strength will surely be different from what it is today. Both Xiao Zi and I believe in you.

[Xiao Chenyu]: Alright, I suppose I can only work hard on my cultivation.

[Xiao Chenyu]: However, it would be even better if I could have some life-saving measures to deal with emergencies.

After all, Lord Bear wasn't the only danger in this world. What if he stepped out one day and ran into a Titled Douluo?

[Will of Douluo Planet]: Speaking of life-saving methods, there is actually a super awesome item for that, and you don't have to wait until you reach your second soul ring to get it.

[Xiao Chenyu]: What is it?

[Will of Douluo Planet]: The 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

Xiao Chenyu was stunned.

He was all too familiar with that name!

[Will of Douluo Planet]: That old drunkard Tang Hao has a 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, hidden in a valley behind a waterfall in the mountain range behind Holy Soul Village!

[Will of Douluo Planet]: Tang Hao hid it very securely; no one knows about it except for him.

[Will of Douluo Planet]: Of course, except for yours truly! (≧▽≦)ﾉ

Xiao Chenyu sat bolt upright, his previously lazy gaze instantly becoming terrifyingly bright.

A 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone!

In the original work, this was the 100,000-year soul bone Tang San obtained from Tang Hao.

It possessed two heaven-defying soul bone skills: "Flight" and "Wildfires Cannot Destroy the Grass, It Springs Up Again with the Spring Breeze."

This healing soul bone skill was renowned as a god-tier ability that could pull a person back from the gates of hell as long as they still had a single breath left.

Bringing the dead back to life and regrowing flesh and bone were by no means exaggerations.

If I could obtain that soul bone...

Xiao Chenyu's internal theater immediately began to play.

Scene one: He is slapped by Lord Bear, leaving him severely injured and on the verge of death.

Then, "Wildfires Cannot Destroy the Grass, It Springs Up Again with the Spring Breeze" activates.

Full health resurrection!

Lord Bear is left completely dumbfounded!

Scene two: He is chased to the edge of a cliff by a pack of ten-thousand-year soul beasts.

Then, the soul bone's flight skill activates, and he takes off directly!

The soul beasts below can only stare in frustration!

Forget about Lord Bear; even if he were caught in a pincer attack between Lord Bear and the Titan Giant Ape, as long as he ran fast enough and kept his life sustained in time, he would have a chance to survive!

[Goddess of Life]: Blue Silver Emperor... is that Tang San's mother?

[God of Destruction]: Hmph! That is the very Blue Silver Emperor that Tang San forced into the God Realm in violation of the God Realm's rules!

[Goddess of Life]: I remember Tang San's parents did appear in the God Realm, but they seemed to disappear not long after. What exactly happened?

[Will of Douluo Planet]: She returned to Douluo Planet!

[Will of Douluo Planet]: You wouldn't believe it, but that scoundrel Tang San not only wanted Tang Hao to possess me and replace me as the Master of the Douluo Planet plane.

[Will of Douluo Planet]: He even wanted his mother, A-Yin, to devour the Eternal Tree and replace the life core of Douluo Planet!

[Will of Douluo Planet]: You judge for yourselves! Is this something a human would do?

[Will of Douluo Planet]: I worked so hard to cultivate him into a god, pouring every resource I had into him, only for him to turn around and try to wipe out my entire home! (T＿T)

[Human-Faced Demon Spider]: Tang San is scum! Tear him to shreds!

[Will of Douluo Planet]: It is precisely because the Group Leader could no longer stand by and watch Tang San's endless list of misdeeds that they gathered all the resentment at the end of time to create this Avengers Chat Group!

[Will of Douluo Planet]: Therefore, Avenger, the burden you carry is not just your own destiny.

[Will of Douluo Planet]: You also carry the hopes of the Group Leader, myself, the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, Little Spider, and all the beings harmed by Tang San! (◦˙▽˙◦)

"..."

Xiao Chenyu remained silent for a moment.

His mood was very subtle.

It wasn't exactly heavy, but it certainly wasn't light either.

It felt as if he had only intended to be a worker, but suddenly, he had been shoved into the position of a savior.
