Dou Qi Continent, Supporting Character System

In an antique bedroom, Xiao Yu slowly regained consciousness, only to be stunned.

Where was this place?

Wasn't he at home reading a novel? Why was he here?

"Ding, host's consciousness detected as unstable. Initiating electric shock mode."

What the hell!

Before Xiao Yu could react, a jolt of electricity shocked him awake, and he roughly understood what was going on.

He had... transmigrated!!!

And he had awakened a system. Wasn't this the classic opening for a protagonist? Would he eventually take it upon himself to unify the continent and save the world?

However, at this moment, Xiao Yu heard, "Host's line of thinking detected as incorrect. Please begin the tutorial."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu hurriedly accepted the beginner's gift pack, only to find it contained nothing but a simple instruction manual. There were no hundred-draw openings, nor were there any peerless protagonist templates.

There was only a virtual screen titled "God-Level Supporting Character System—I want to be the strongest supporting character in the heavens and worlds."

[God-Level Supporting Character System]

Name: Xiao Yu

Level: 1 (EXP 1/100)

Strength: Dou Power, 6th Stage

Cultivation Method: 0

Dou Technique: 0

Mission: 0

Seeing this, Xiao Yu was dumbfounded. The strongest supporting character? Did that mean he couldn't become invincible in this world? Was his protagonist dream shattered?

But Xiao Yu also understood that he had transmigrated into the world of Battle Through the Heavens.

That was actually fine.

In his past life, Xiao Yu had been a hardcore fan of Battle Through the Heavens, having read it over a dozen times. Since Xiao Yan was a man of great loyalty and righteousness, as long as he could cling to his thigh, he would surely be able to survive until the grand finale.

It was also fortunate that this wasn't the world of Blue Silver Entanglement, otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he had been sold out!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu adopted a "come what may" attitude, began to accept his identity, and started to learn about the system.

"System, Supporting Character System, what functions do you have?"

"Detected that the host's current level is too low, so subsequent functions cannot be unlocked. You can only accept main missions to gain experience points."

As the voice faded, a mission panel popped up:

"Mission 1: Help Xiao Yan unify the Dou Qi Continent. Reward: Dou Di cultivation."

"Mission 2: Help the Soul Heavenly Emperor unify the Dou Qi Continent. Reward: Dou Di cultivation."

"Please select a main mission."

Seeing the two main missions, Xiao Yu was stunned.

He could actually help the Soul Heavenly Emperor unify the Dou Qi Continent? Without hesitation, Xiao Yu skipped Mission 2 and chose Mission 1.

Not to mention that the Soul Heavenly Emperor didn't even know him, even if he did, he would still choose Xiao Yan. Why would he choose a cruel and heartless villain over a loyal and righteous Xiao Yan? He would probably die without even knowing how.

"Ding, host has successfully accepted the main mission. System officially activated. Time limit: ten years. If the mission fails, the host's intelligence will be extracted. I hope the host helps Xiao Yan unify the Dou Qi Continent as soon as possible."

As the system's voice settled, Xiao Yu's mission panel changed accordingly.

[God-Level Supporting Character System]

Name: Xiao Yu

Level: 1 (EXP 1/100)

Strength: Dou Power, 6th Stage

Cultivation Method: 0

Dou Technique: 0

Main Mission: Xiao Yan is deeply discouraged because his cultivation has made no progress. As the strongest supporting character, you must seize the opportunity to encourage him and help him get back on his feet. Mission completion reward: 100 EXP, Alchemist talent.

"Does the host accept?"

Xiao Yu was dumbfounded. Ten years to help a Xiao Yan with only 3rd stage Dou Power unify the Dou Qi Continent???

Xiao Yu was full of question marks, but there was no help for it; he had already accepted and couldn't cancel.

Xiao Yu discovered that his mission panel had changed. It seemed that helping Xiao Yan unify the Dou Qi Continent was the final objective, which was why it wasn't displayed right now. What he needed to do next was complete the main mission to farm Xiao Yan's favorability and level up.

After helplessly accepting all of this, Xiao Yu began to carefully examine his room, finding it in a state of disarray. It seemed he wasn't exactly a core member of the Xiao Clan!

Through the system, Xiao Yu also learned that this was the very beginning of Battle Through the Heavens, the moment when Xiao Yan's Dou Power was detected to be at the 3rd stage.

Xiao Yu then headed straight to the courtyard where the Xiao Clan members were tested, just in time to hear that classic sound.

"Xiao Yan, Dou Power, third stage!"

Hearing the voice from the platform, Xiao Yu also looked up at the youth currently undergoing the test.

The youth on the platform wore no expression, his tightly clenched fists trembling slightly; Xiao Yu even suspected his nails had already dug into his palms.

The crowd below erupted into a chorus of mockery directed at Xiao Yan.

"As expected, this genius has stalled at the third stage again this year."

"This good-for-nothing has completely disgraced our Xiao Clan."

Listening to the cold sarcasm and ridicule aimed at Xiao Yan, Xiao Yu smiled inwardly. You are all still too young. He is the future Flame Emperor, after all. Now, watch as I walk into Xiao Yan's inner circle and become the strongest supporting character in the world of Battle Through the Heavens!

The deacon on the platform ignored Xiao Yan's expression, cast a disdainful glance at him, and began to call the next person for testing.

"Next, Xiao Mei."

Xiao Yu looked at the young girl walking onto the platform and could only think of beauty, and more beauty. After all, this was a world where one could cultivate; any blemishes had long since been smoothed away by Dou Qi. Although this Xiao Mei looked only fourteen or fifteen, how could someone who had competed with Xun'er for Xiao Yan's attention since childhood be anything less than extraordinary?

As expected, Xiao Mei's Dou Power test result was the same as in the original story: Dou Power, seventh stage, high level.

Everyone began to fawn over Xiao Mei, but if Xiao Yu remembered correctly, the next one to be tested would be Xun'er.

If Xiao Mei's seventh stage of Dou Power made the crowd envious and jealous, then Xun'er's ninth stage of Dou Power was enough to make these mere mortals shut their mouths, for she was a true daughter of heaven. Xiao Yu stared at Xun'er on the platform, stunned for a moment.

She was worthy of being the young mistress of the Ancient Clan, worthy of being the future main wife of the Flame Emperor. At only fourteen or fifteen, she already displayed a peerless, stunning grace. It was a pity that the current Xun'er had already fallen deeply in love with Xiao Yan; he had no chance of stealing Xiao Yan's thunder.

Watching the receding figures of Xiao Yan and Xun'er from within the crowd, Xiao Yu could only envy Xiao Yan from the bottom of his heart. Having transmigrated into the world of Battle Through the Heavens, he had managed to win the heart of a beauty like Xun'er. As a fellow transmigrator, he himself was destined to be nothing more than a supporting character.

A short while later, the deacon called his name, as this test was mandatory for all disciples of the clan, and he was no exception.

"Next, Xiao Yu."

Xiao Yu stepped onto the platform and arrived before the Testing Magic Stone Stele, a hint of curiosity surfacing in his eyes as he stared at it. Only the day before, he had been a modern person from the 21st century; in the blink of an eye, he had arrived on this continent where only Dou Qi mattered. To say he wasn't curious would be impossible.

Xiao Yu slowly placed his palm onto the stele. Instantly, he felt a special energy from within the stone seep into his body along his palm, circulate once, and then flow back out. The next moment, Xiao Yu heard his test result.

"Xiao Yu, Dou Power, sixth stage, intermediate level!"

The sixth stage of Dou Power was not particularly genius within the clan, but it was considered above average. After the testing deacon gave Xiao Yu a satisfied look, he signaled for him to step down.
