Binding the Catalog Roulette, Plotting to Steal Tang San's Mother's Legacy

"Mm-hm."

Ye Han nodded slightly.

"But I plan to raise my Soul Ring absorption limit first!"

He possessed two near-god-tier Martial Souls, along with the Dragon God Bloodline.

Without any acquired assistance, his first Soul Ring could definitely endure at least several thousand years.

Still, the more the better. He would strive to absorb a Soul Ring of at least seven or eight thousand years as his first one!

That was not really exceeding the limit, was it?

He had started with nine choices out of four and bore the Dragon God Bloodline. If he was going to play, he might as well play properly!

In the original Douluo II, the protagonist Huo Yuhao began with a million-year Soul Ring and the remnant soul of a god-level origin protecting his path!

In the original Douluo IV, the protagonist Lan Xuanyu was even more absurd—absurd enough to knock on the door of absurdity's mother. He started out with the Dragon God Bloodline!

At Rank 50, he could beat Titled Douluo senseless; at Rank 60, he could contend against Limit Douluo; at Rank 70, he directly became a god. After ascending to the God Realm, he fought the Great God Circle's twelve God Kings alone!

People always said fanfiction power levels collapsed, but the originals were the truly overpowered ones!!

Ye Guyi came from ten thousand years in the future, so she quickly understood Ye Han's intentions.

"Xiaohan, you want to strengthen your physique, right? Then I'll take you to buy some whale glue first."

"This era probably has yet to discover whale glue's body-strengthening properties, so it should be very common."

"But judging by your expression, you already know that, don't you?!"

Yet as she spoke, a faint flush rose to her cheeks.

After all, it was an aphrodisiac. Mentioning it inevitably made her embarrassed.

Sister Guyi looks so pretty when she blushes...

Ye Han was briefly dazed before quickly recovering.

"Yes, but I don't plan on using whale glue for now. I'm going after a Soul Bone instead!"

"I know of a place where a top-tier Hundred-Thousand-Year Life Soul Bone is hidden!"

With the Dragon God Bloodline, he could develop both the divinities of creation and destruction.

The Life Soul Bone was perfectly suited to developing the power of creation. He absolutely could not miss it.

Ye Guyi was instantly startled and instinctively asked,

"Where is it? There should be corresponding dangers, right?!"

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone...

Even ten thousand years later, such things were exceedingly rare, let alone in this era!

Ye Han looked in the direction of Sacred Soul Village.

"The Soul Bone is hidden near a village called Sacred Soul Village."

Ye Guyi froze, finding the name familiar.

This seemed to be Sea God Tang San's hometown.

After Tang San became a god, it had been renamed Divine Soul Village.

"As for the danger... there probably isn't any!"

Ye Han continued, secretly thinking to himself.

Tang San had already joined Notting Academy by now, and Tang Hao was following in the shadows to protect him.

They should be free to raid the place without worry!

Even if they were somehow discovered, Ye Guyi should be able to get him out safely.

Tang Hao was stronger, but he was still a land-based Soul Master. If they could not win, they could just fly away!

You can't fly faster than me, can you?!

"Good. Then we shouldn't delay. Let's go—you can show me the way."

Ye Guyi bent down and scooped the tiny Ye Han into her arms.

She neither doubted him nor asked further questions. Since this little fellow had been chosen for her protection, he was surely extraordinary.

"Mm~"

Ye Han fell entirely into her soft, warm embrace, her fragrance filling his nose.

Happiness had come too quickly, like a tornado.

Whoosh!!

Ye Guyi spread her six wings and soared into the air.

As Ye Han guided her, Xiao Wu, that rogue rabbit, suddenly came to mind!

How could he possibly miss that walking Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone?!

But Tang Hao had probably already designated her as Tang San's future Soul Ring.

If he made a move against her, he would certainly be stopped. He would have to wait until Tang Hao was away from Notting City!

[ Ding—! ]

However, at that moment,

the system's voice rang out in Ye Han's mind.

[The Opening Options System is activating...]

[Successfully bound to the [Douluo Catalog Roulette] System!]

┍━━{Douluo Catalog Roulette}━━┑

[Host: Ye Han]

[Soul Power Rank: 10]

[Available Activations: 0]

[Activations Used: 0]

[Items Obtained: None]

[Characters Obtained: None]

[Warm Reminder]:

1. Contains catalogs of all items and characters from the five-part Douluo series. Each activation allows multiple roulette draws, after which the host may make a final selection.

2. There are no restrictions on items. As for characters, each is a living being with vivid, independent consciousness and retains all original memories. However, their strength and age may be chosen.

3. Characters who already exist in the current era or have already been obtained cannot be obtained again, but may instead be converted into Favorability or infused with new memories, similar to reincarnation awakening memories of a past life.

4. Initial activations begin at zero. One activation is gained for every ten ranks raised, calculated from the time of binding. Activations may be accumulated, and new system functions will unlock as the host's strength increases.

┕━━━━━━━━━━━┙

"The system! It finally came!"

Ye Han was delighted as his gaze rapidly swept over it.

It was roughly as expected, except there were no initial activations.

But that was fine. He would not need long to raise ten ranks in the early stages!

Meanwhile, in the southern outskirts of Soto City.

Flander returned to Shrek Academy in a foul mood.

The moment he reached the academy gates, a fat, big-eared boy in red rushed toward him.

"Dean! You're finally back!!"

"Ma Hongjun, why are you panicking like that?!"

Flander was already full of pent-up anger and in no mood for nonsense.

"After I went to the widow in the neighboring village to vent my fire just now, I broke through to Rank 10!"

Ma Hongjun's face was full of pride, and the lingering stench on him had yet to fade.

"You reached Rank 10!"

Flander froze, then immediately rejoiced.

"You awakened your Martial Soul with innate Rank 9 Soul Power, and it has only been two and a half months!"

"Hahaha, I knew it! Students trained by my Shrek are simply different from the rest!"

Ma Hongjun suddenly asked,

"Teacher, what happened to you just now? Did someone make you unhappy?!"

At the thought of what had happened earlier, Flander immediately began recounting it indignantly.

"What? Damn it!"

After hearing everything, Ma Hongjun flew into a rage.

"He actually refused to join our academy and even openly insulted the dean. What an ungrateful idiot!"

"If I ever meet him, I'll definitely teach him a brutal lesson! Before my Evil Fire Phoenix, the Golden Saint Dragon is nothing but crap!"

Flander's face was full of gratification as he nodded in satisfaction.

"Good, good, good! As expected of a Shrek student!"

"Come on. This dean will take you to Star Dou Forest to hunt your first Soul Ring right away!"

Ma Hongjun's talent was indeed inferior to that little brat Ye Han's.

But with Shrek's top-tier guidance under his care, Ma Hongjun would surely catch up and crush him in the future!

When that time came, hmph!

That Ye Han would understand just how foolish it had been to refuse Shrek!

Two and a half incense sticks later.

In the mountains near Sacred Soul Village.

Whoosh!!

A streak of golden light flashed past.

It was Ye Han and Ye Guyi.

Along the way, the two had carefully investigated and confirmed the situation.

Tang San and his father had both left Sacred Soul Village some time ago.

The perfect chance to raid their home!

Very soon, the two descended into the heart of a valley.

Ahead stood a cliff, where a huge waterfall hung suspended, its torrent plunging wildly into a deep pool.

The waterfall dropped three thousand feet, throwing mist across the sky as its roaring thundered without end.

Ye Guyi looked around, slightly puzzled.

"Xiaohan, is this the place you were looking for? It looks secluded and unremarkable."

A confident smile appeared on Ye Han's lips.

"Of course. Look, it's right behind that waterfall. We'll know once we go in!"

As he spoke, he raised a hand and pointed toward the center of the waterfall.

By rough estimate, that spot was at least two hundred meters high!

"Alright."

Ye Guyi did not ask further questions and trusted him completely.

She picked up the little Ye Han again, her six wings giving a slight flutter.

Holy light enveloped them, shielding them from the surging water and fierce wind as they passed through safely.

Whoosh!!

Behind the curtain of water,

there truly was a hidden cave entrance.

Within, it was pitch-black and deep, impossible to see one's own fingers.

After landing, Ye Guyi could not help but marvel.

"Without the ability to fly, even if someone knew about this place, it would be difficult to enter. It is an excellent hiding place!"

Ye Han nodded slightly and stepped forward.

"Sister Guyi, the item is inside. Let's go!"

But suddenly,

Ye Guyi grabbed Ye Han's little hand.

"I'll lead the way. Stay behind your big sister!"

Without waiting for a response, she condensed a ball of holy light at her fingertips.

It illuminated the path ahead as she led Ye Han carefully inward.

"Sister Guyi is really thoughtful..."

Ye Han murmured, warmth rising in his heart.

Being protected by someone felt wonderful.

After walking for a while,

they finally entered a faintly lit stone chamber.

The light came from a funnel-shaped opening overhead.

It shone directly upon a small mound of earth below that was nearly dry.

Growing atop it was a Blue Silver Grass with blue-gold patterns.

They had found it!

Ye Han was overjoyed.

Ye Guyi's beautiful eyes trembled when she saw it.

"This is... the Blue Silver Emperor, Blue Silver Emperor, recorded in ancient texts!"

"Why would it choose to grow in such a dim cave where sunlight was scarcely seen?!"

"It is growing so weakly. Its true age is likely no more than around six years!"
