Ten Great Title Douluo Given at the Start

Heaven Dou Empire, Li Family Village.

On the moss-covered boulder at the village entrance lay a young man of eighteen or nineteen. His features were delicate and handsome, but his eyes held a steadiness that did not match his age.

"System, I've been transmigrated here for two and a half years already, and you still haven't finished loading?" Li Yuan looked up at the clouds, his tone calm. "Tang San's probably almost a rank-thirty Soul Elder by now, and I'm still sitting here staring blankly. What am I supposed to use to play against them?"

What he wore was still the coarse hemp clothing cast off by the village chief's son.

When he had transmigrated here two and a half years ago, he had had no martial soul and no money.

If the people of Li Family Village had not been kind enough to give him food, he would have starved to death on the road long ago.

"Ding!"

A crisp electronic chime suddenly rang out in his mind.

A palm-sized projection of a chibi girl appeared out of thin air on his shoulder. She blinked her big eyes, her voice lively and mischievous. "Don't be anxious, Master! It's almost done!"

"Current loading progress: 99.98%..."

"99.99%..."

"100%!"

"Ding! Strongest Family Cultivation System successfully activated!"

Li Yuan abruptly sat up, his eyes lighting up.

"System, introduce your functions."

"As the name suggests, the Strongest Family Cultivation System helps Master build the strongest force on Douluo Continent from scratch! Expand territory, recruit talent, form marriage alliances with powerful clans, nurture descendants, and ultimately let the Li family bloodline rule the continent."

"What functions do you have?"

"Sign-in function! You may sign in once every day at 12:00 midnight. Rewards are random—soul coins, cultivation resources, soul bones, even martial souls, and more!"

"Detected that Master has not signed in today. Sign in?"

The corner of Li Yuan's mouth lifted. "Sign."

"Ding! Sign-in successful! Congratulations, Master, you have obtained Newbie Deluxe Gift Pack x1. Open it?"

"Open."

"Ding! Gift pack opened!"

"Congratulations, Master, you have obtained: gold soul coins x10,000,000, Creation-level martial soul · World-Destroying Black Dragon x1, ten Titled Douluo worshiper group x1, god-bestowed soul rings x2, martial soul awakening stone x1!"

Li Yuan's breathing stalled.

Ten... million?

World-Destroying Black Dragon? Creation-level?

And ten Titled Douluo as worshipers?

He silently pinched his thigh.

It fucking hurt.

"What the fuck... starting off invincible right away?" The corner of Li Yuan's eye twitched. "Other people's cheats make them develop while keeping a low profile, but mine just airdrops a T0 lineup?"

"Master, do you need to summon the worshiper group?"

Li Yuan stood up, patted the grass bits off his backside, and his gaze calmed.

"Summon them."

Above Li Family Village.

The sky abruptly darkened.

Ten figures tore through the clouds and descended from the heavens.

The person at the very front had black hair draping over his shoulders, a face as handsome as if carved by the gods, and eyes that looked down on all below as though he were gazing at ants.

Nine red soul rings slowly revolved around him, scarlet as molten lava, staining half the sky.

A vast pressure came crashing down from above. In an instant, every chicken, duck, and dog in Li Family Village fell silent. The villagers' legs went weak, and they dropped to their knees in a wave.

That person landed five steps in front of Li Yuan, dropped to one knee, and spoke in a voice like a great bell. "Your subordinate Di Jun, rank-99 demigod, true-body martial soul · Ruins of Time, pays respect to my lord!"

One step behind him was a middle-aged man with a resolute face as if cut by a blade. Eight black rings and one red ring coiled around him, his robes moving without wind, while dragon shadows faintly roared at his side.

"Your subordinate Long Yuan, rank-98 assault system, beast martial soul · Nine Nether Burning Heaven Dragon, pays respect to my lord!"

Farther back was a woman whose features were exquisite like a banished immortal from a painting. Her skin was whiter than snow, her eyes held the stars, and eight black rings and one red ring circled around her. Her bearing was cool, aloof, and otherworldly.

"Your subordinate Yue Yao, rank-97 control system, tool martial soul · Galaxy Ancient Zither, pays respect to my lord!"

The fourth person had an ordinary face, yet was somehow unforgettable at a glance. His eyes were gentle, and eight black rings and one red ring surrounded him.

"Your subordinate Mu Sheng, rank-96 healing system, plant martial soul · Ancient Tree of Life, pays respect to my lord!"

The fifth person was thin, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, with eight black rings and one red ring.

"Your subordinate Shadow Fiend, rank-95 agility attack system, beast martial soul · Void Shadow Marten, pays respect to my lord!"

The sixth person was built as sturdily as an iron tower, his face honest and simple, with one purple ring and eight black rings.

"This subordinate is Tie Shan, a level 94 defense-type, beast martial soul: Black Tortoise Heavy Armor. I pay respects to my lord!"

The seventh person had a warm smile and an elegant bearing, with one purple and eight black rings.

"This subordinate is Shu Huan, a level 93 support-type, tool martial soul: Myriad Phenomena Chessboard. I pay respects to my lord!"

The eighth person had a gloomy face and a sinister gaze, with one purple and eight black rings.

"This subordinate is Gu Master, a level 92 control-type, beast martial soul: Thousand Illusion Poison Spider. I pay respects to my lord!"

The ninth person looked like a youth, his eyes lively and alert, with two purple and seven black rings.

"This subordinate is Feng Ling, a level 92 agility-attack-type, beast martial soul: Gale Thunder Falcon. I pay respects to my lord!"

The tenth person was a woman, petite and delicate, with two purple and seven black rings.

"This subordinate is Die Yu, a level 91 support-type, beast martial soul: Phantom Color Spirit Butterfly. I pay respects to my lord!"

The ten of them lowered their heads in unison, and their pressure drew back like the tide, confined within three feet around Li Yuan, without the slightest bit leaking out again.

The villagers of Li Family Village only felt as if the mountain pressing down on their heads had suddenly vanished. One by one, they collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, staring blankly at the slightly slender figure at the village entrance.

Li Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the ten Titled Douluo before him, the corner of his mouth curving up.

Forget Tang San.

Even if Bibi Dong came, she would have to offer him a cigarette first.

Ding! Long-term main quest issued: Marriage alliance. Recruit or win over external forces. Each completion grants one deluxe gift pack!

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Marriage alliance? Interesting."

This Douluo Continent lacked all kinds of things, but it definitely did not lack beautiful women.

Shui Bing'er of Skywater Academy, an ice-type genius, proud as a snow lotus.

Huo Wu of Blazing Academy, a hot-tempered mature beauty who blew up at the slightest spark.

And Xiao Wu from Shrek... forget it, not his type.

Ding! Side quest issued: Within three days, find a suitable location for the master, establish the foundation of a force, and name it. Quest reward: Intermediate gift pack x1.

Li Yuan lifted his eyes and swept a glance around the village.

Mud roads, thatched huts, chickens flying and dogs jumping.

Li Family Village had treated him well, but using this place as headquarters?

A remote, poverty-stricken backwater, without even a single decent thing.

"Ten million gold soul coins. When it's time to spend, you spend." Li Yuan took a bag of gold soul coins from his robes, weighed it in his hand, then tossed it to a nearby villager who was still trembling. "Go call the village chief over."

The village chief was an old man with graying hair. He came running over with a shudder, and was about to drop to his knees with a thud.

Li Yuan reached out and supported him. "Old sir, these past two years, it's thanks to you all taking me in."

He took ten thousand gold soul coins from his system space, put them in a cloth bag, and handed it over. "Use this money to repair the village roads and build a few tiled houses."

The village chief's hands shook so badly he could not take it. "Th-this..."

"Don't refuse."

Li Yuan smiled, his tone calm.

It was not that he did not want to give more, but wealth should not be flaunted.

He understood better than anyone the principle that possession of a jade ring could make one guilty.

All the more when they were just a group of commoners.

"Let's go." Li Yuan turned and spoke calmly to the ten Titled Douluo. "Restrain your auras. First, we'll settle our home."

"As you command, my lord."

Ten figures transformed into streaks of flowing light, protecting Li Yuan as they shot into the sky, vanishing beyond the horizon in the blink of an eye.

The sky above Li Family Village returned to clear brightness.

The village chief held the heavy bag of gold soul coins, staring at the sky for a long time without coming back to his senses.

After a while, he murmured.

"That young man... what on earth is his background?"
