Second-Tier Magical Beast, Green Scale Wind Serpent, Master, Run!

"Tsk, people from the Douluo Continent, are they?"

Lin Feng gently blew on his tea, a playful curve tugging at the corner of his lips. "Yu Xiaogang? Tang San? Bibi Dong?"

"Such familiar names, indeed."

"I never expected that after all these years of seclusion, the system would stir up such a commotion and bridge these two planes together."

Watching the system's exclusive feed, where Yu Xiaogang was currently scared half to death by a first-order Red Fire Wolf and questioning his existence amidst the ruins, Lin Feng couldn't help but shake his head.

"The reputation of the 'floor tile of the fantasy world' is well-deserved."

"You dare to barge into the Battle Through the Heavens World with 29 levels of Soul Power? Even the lowliest cook in any mercenary group here has Dou Qi of a quality that could crush you."

"Still, this should be amusing."

Just as Lin Feng set down his teacup, a long-absent mechanical prompt rang out crisply in his mind.

[Ding!]

[Detected the opening of the Heavens Channel; the new plane, Douluo Continent, has been connected!]

[The Strongest Sect System is updating.]

[Congratulations to the Host, the system has been upgraded to: More Children More Blessings System!]

[Main quest initiated: Showcase the foundation of your sect during this broadcast across the heavens, subdue the Daughters of Destiny from the Douluo Plane, and expand the Heavenly Palace!]

[Reward: Determined by the Host's performance and the quality of the characters subdued!]

Hearing the system's voice, the light in Lin Feng's eyes grew even more profound.

"More children, more blessings?"

"It seems this leisurely retirement is coming to an end."

With that, Lin Feng slowly stood up, walked to the edge of the pavilion with his hands behind his back, and gazed through the clouds toward an unknown destination.

His current cultivation was at the peak of the nine-star Dou Sheng, only a single step away from the legendary Dou Di.

In this era where Source Qi was scarce, he was the uncrowned king of this world.

Hun Tiandi? Gu Yuan?

In his eyes, with the system's rewards, they were nothing more than slightly larger grasshoppers.

But if he could subdue a few goddesses from other worlds to add some color to this dull, invincible life, and perhaps break through in the process, that wouldn't be bad at all.

After all, above this world, there was still the Great Ruler Plane.

Meanwhile, above the Sky Screen.

Following the deaths of the two, the situation for the remaining three grew increasingly dire.

Aside from the still-struggling Yu Xiaogang and the Star Luo Soldier Li Si, who was trembling in his barracks, everyone's gaze was fixed on the person with the lowest chance of survival.

Yu Xiaogang.

At this moment, he was laboriously crawling out from a pile of rubble, fishing a piece of dried meat from his robes to replenish his strength.

But he was unaware that on the branch directly above his head, a snake as thick as a finger, emerald green from head to tail and radiating the aura of a Dou Shi, was silently flicking its tongue, coldly staring at his neck.

The scene was deathly quiet, save for the whimpering of the wind through the treetops.

Yu Xiaogang leaned heavily against a rock, clutching the hard piece of dried meat tightly in his hand, gasping for air.

The previous blow had not only shattered his ribs but had also crushed his pride as a "Grandmaster."

"Damn it, damn it!"

He cursed under his breath, his trembling hand trying to bring the meat to his mouth.

However, at that very instant.

Hiss—

The leaves above his head seemed to quiver ever so slightly.

Immediately after, the emerald venomous snake that had been lurking for so long struck!

It was a Green Scale Wind Serpent, a genuine second-order magical beast with strength comparable to a human Dou Shi!

In the Battle Through the Heavens World, a Dou Shi could condense their Dou Qi into armor, gaining a qualitative leap in defense and explosive power. While this snake lacked armor, its speed was as fast as lightning!

Whoosh!

On the broadcast, the audience saw only a green afterimage flash by, too fast for the naked eye to track.

Then, a crisp crack echoed from the wrist of Yu Xiaogang's right hand—the sound of bone being instantly pierced through!

"Ah!!!"

Yu Xiaogang let out a shrill scream, the dried meat falling from his hand to the ground.

He looked down at his wrist in horror, where two bottomless, bloody holes had appeared. The flesh around the wounds was rapidly turning black at a visible rate, emitting a nauseating, fishy stench.

Deadly poison!

It was a poison even more overbearing than the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor venom of the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, by several times over!

Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy.

Watching the green blur on the Sky Screen that moved so fast it was indistinct, and seeing Yu Xiaogang collapse and convulse in an instant, everyone felt their hearts tighten once more.

The one who reacted most intensely was none other than Tang San.

This genius, who possessed the memories of two lifetimes, carried the unique skills of the Tang Sect, and prided himself on being invincible among his peers, stood frozen in place, his entire body rigid.

His eyes had long since activated the Purple Demon Eye, a rich purple glow filling his pupils as he attempted to track the snake's movements.

But the next second, his pupils contracted violently, and he staggered back three steps as if his spine had been pulled out, nearly collapsing to the ground.

"Ho-how could it be this fast..."

In his understanding, he possessed the Purple Demon Eye, allowing him to observe the most minute details; he also possessed the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, with its incredibly uncanny footwork, and a pair of Mysterious Jade Hands that were immune to all poisons.

Yet, just a moment ago, he had fallen into a state of self-doubt.

"I can't see it. Even when I push my Purple Demon Eye to its limit, I can barely catch a blurry afterimage! How is this possible!"

Tang San clutched his hair tightly, muttering incessantly:

"That snake is barely a foot long and has no soul ring radiance. According to Teacher's theories, this is clearly just an ordinary ten-year-level Green Scale Wind Serpent!"

"But its speed even exceeds the burst speed of Teacher Zhao Wuji when he activates Gravity Squeeze!"

"Is this reasonable? This isn't reasonable at all!"

Tang San's breathing grew increasingly rapid, his mind frantically calculating the disparity in combat power between the two.

"If that snake were the opponent I had to face..."

"My hidden weapons wouldn't be able to hit it at all, because its speed is faster than my mechanisms!"

"My Blue Silver Grass binding wouldn't be able to control it either, because its instantaneous burst of strength would be enough to tear my martial soul apart!"

"Even my Mysterious Jade Hands, faced with a bite force capable of instantly crushing Teacher's wrist bones, would likely be bitten through as if they were made of paper!"

Tang San had always believed that by relying on the Tang Sect's unique skills, he was special in this world and capable of challenging those of higher ranks.

But if a small snake from that higher-dimensional world was already like this, what about other, more powerful existences, or the current apex of the beast world?

"Gulp." Tang San swallowed hard, his eyes vacant as he muttered: "So this is a higher-dimensional world..."

"The soul skills we take such pride in might just be child's play there."

"Our so-called Titled Douluo might not even be able to defeat a slightly stronger beast there."

"Teacher, you let us see the truth, but this truth is too cruel!"

Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and the others beside Tang San watched as their usually calm and confident Third Brother collapsed like this; they were all so terrified that their faces drained of color, unable to even utter a word of comfort.

Within the Sky Screen, the tragedy continued.

Yu Xiaogang did not die immediately.

The Green Scale Wind Serpent did not seem in a hurry to feed; it coiled on a nearby tree branch, coldly watching its prey struggle.
