My Son Has the Potential to Become a Dou Emperor

In the northwestern region of the Battle Qi Continent, there was a city called Wutan City.

Outside the Xiao Clan residence, a middle-aged man paced anxiously at the entrance, his face filled with unease.

Suddenly, the cries of newborn babies came from inside. The door was pushed open, and the man hurried in. He saw his wife lying on the bed, while two maidservants beside her held two newborn infants.

The man sat by the bed and took a baby from a maidservant. Seeing this, his wife smiled at her husband and said, "Let me hold him." She gently took the child and, as she gazed at the newborn, could not help reaching out with her slender finger to lightly poke his chubby little cheeks.

Seeing the doting look on his wife's face, the man turned to take the other child from the second maidservant and teased the baby's tender face with his fingers.

In a daze, Xiao Yao opened his eyes, only to discover in shock that a man's face filled his vision.

Xiao Yao froze for a moment, suddenly unable to comprehend everything before him.

Then Xiao Yao's gaze fell upon his own hands, and he was horrified to find that they had become tiny, like those of an infant.

At that moment, Xiao Yao suddenly understood that he was no longer his original self. He had been reborn in another world.

Xiao Yao looked around and discovered another child beside him, one about the same size as himself.

At this moment, a woman held the other child and said to them, "Husband, let's name these two adorable children. The one I'm holding will be called Xiao Yan. How about naming the one you're holding Xiao Yao?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yao was stunned and failed to react for a moment.

However, the man beside her, Xiao Zhan, looked lovingly at the child in his arms and said with a smile, "As you wish, my dear. They shall be called Xiao Yan and Xiao Yao."

Hearing that name, Xiao Yao was deeply shaken. Was this his new identity? Had he actually come to the world of Battle Through the Heavens, where strength reigned supreme? It all left him shocked and curious.

Suddenly, a strange voice sounded in his mind. "Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully transmigrating into Battle Through the Heavens. The Achievement System has been bound successfully."

"Congratulations, Host, for receiving one Beginner Gift Pack. The system space has been unlocked, and the Beginner Gift Pack has been placed inside."

"Congratulations, Host, for witnessing the famous scene of Xiao Yan's birth. You have received all first-tier pill formulas of the Battle Qi Continent and mastery of the properties of first-tier medicinal ingredients."

A surge of knowledge appeared in Xiao Yao's mind. He now understood the properties of every first-tier medicinal ingredient and knew how to refine them perfectly.

Feeling the memories in his mind, Xiao Yao asked the system excitedly, "Hehe! System, what functions do you have? Give me an introduction!"

"The Achievement System has three primary functions. The first is issuing tasks from time to time. Completing tasks grants generous rewards, including items from the Battle Qi world and other worlds. Once a task is accepted, failing to complete it within the allotted time will result in penalties based on the degree of completion. These penalties may include confiscation of cultivation methods, battle techniques, pills, and more.

The second is witnessing scenes involving major events in Battle Through the Heavens, commonly known as famous scenes. This can grant abundant items and attributes. Host, please participate often and become a powerhouse of the continent as soon as possible.

The third is earning achievements. This requires the Host's own efforts before rewards can be obtained. Each time the Host breaks through a major realm, the system will grant a reward. For example, when a Dou Practitioner advances to the next realm, Battle Master, a reward will be given.

Alternatively, successfully refining a first-tier pill and obtaining the achievement of first-tier Alchemist will also grant a reward, and so on. Therefore, Host, work hard from now on. Strive for rewards and become a peak powerhouse of the continent as soon as possible."

After hearing the system's lengthy explanation, Xiao Yao felt exhausted. He complained to the system, "System, can't you just make me strong directly? Why do I still have to cultivate? This is way too troublesome." Thinking of how he had struggled for money every day in his previous life, he had not expected that he would still need to work hard after transmigrating. How miserable.

"Forget it, forget it. Since this is how it is, I can only adapt to this world."

Xiao Yao thought this to himself. Looking at his infant body, he felt that he could not do anything. Then he looked at the child beside him, the one who had also been reborn, Xiao Yan—the man who would shout, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river." Xiao Yan's chubby face and half-squinted eyes looked around from time to time, and at other times he grinned foolishly.

One look was enough to tell that Xiao Yan was probably thinking about how to become popular with girls here. Thinking of how many confidantes he had in the original story, other than Gu Xun'er and Medusa, women such as Little Fairy, Yun Yun, and Nalan Yanran all died alone. The thought made Xiao Yao especially unhappy, and he wanted nothing more than to slap Xiao Yan a few times. Since he had come here, he absolutely would not allow such things to happen.

"Oh, right, System. Open the Beginner Gift Pack I stored in the space." Xiao Yao thought to himself.

"Ding! The gift pack is opening.

Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Alchemist Physique.

Congratulations, Host, for obtaining one Heavens Physique Extraction Pack.

Congratulations, Host, for obtaining one Blue Crystal Flame.

Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the low-grade Xuan-rank cultivation method, Myriad Devouring Art."

"Holy shit, I'm taking off right away! So many rewards! Sure enough, the system still loves me. Little Yan, your big brother will look after you from now on, hehe!" Xiao Yao laughed inwardly.

"Host, forgive my blunt reminder, but you are overthinking things. You currently only possess physiques and have no cultivation. This system will only provide cultivation methods, battle techniques, items, and the like. It will not directly grant you cultivation. You still need to cultivate properly," the system replied.

"Damn it, does that mean I'll have to rely on myself to cultivate from now on? System, that's totally unfair. I only want to be a couch potato. Fine, I'm exhausted. Destroy everything." A pained expression immediately appeared on his face.

Xiao Zhan noticed the child's face alternating between smiles and pained expressions, which left him somewhat puzzled. He turned to the woman holding the child beside him and said, "My dear, look at this child's strange expression. Sometimes he smiles, and sometimes he looks miserable. Could Yao'er be hungry?" His wife smiled in reply.

"It's fine. Look, Yan'er in my arms is the same way. They truly are twins; they look exactly alike. Look at those little hands flailing about outside—how adorable. Come, let's switch. I want to hold Yao'er."

Hearing his mother's words, Xiao Yao thought of Little Yan's difficult cultivation journey. He would endure countless hardships before becoming a Dou Emperor, offending who knew how many enemies along the way. Xiao Yao imagined himself walking down the road in the future, only to suddenly be surrounded by a group of powerhouses, who would say, "Xiao Yan, hand over our things. Don't even think about escaping this time."

Holy shit, there would be no explaining that kind of situation. With Xiao Yan's face, who else would take the blame if not him?

Sigh, from now on, I can only cultivate obediently. At the very least, I have to become stronger than Xiao Yan. Otherwise, if I really face such a situation without any trump cards, wouldn't I ascend to heaven on the spot? he complained inwardly.

"System, open the Heavens Physique Extraction Pack. I wonder what good physique I'll draw. Hehe, I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Ding! Extraction in progress... Extraction successful. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the strongest physique in the heavens—the Human Physique."

Xiao Yao was instantly dumbfounded. He asked weakly, "System, are you sure this isn't a joke? Don't I already have this physique? Is there something special about the Human Physique? You aren't messing with me, are you?"

"Host, this physique grants comprehension and potential beyond that of ordinary people, but it can only be deeply developed by the Host. After this physique is fused, when the Host reaches the Dou King realm, you will encounter three lightning tribulations. From that realm onward, every major breakthrough will bring three lightning tribulations, though their intensity may vary. Successfully passing them will grant a gift of heaven and earth energy. This is an opportunity that other physiques do not possess."

"Hehe, System, that assumes I can survive them. I... who the hell did I offend? Am I really that easy to strike with lightning? System, you wouldn't want to lose such an adorable Host so soon, would you? How about switching it for another physique?"

"Ding! Would you like to begin fusing the Human Physique and Alchemist Physique?" The cold voice sounded.

Xiao Yao thought that he could only leave it to fate and hoped this physique would not disappoint him. He replied helplessly, "Sigh, System, begin the fusion."

"Host, the fusion process will be quick, but it may hurt a little. However, you need not worry about being noticed by others. This system will conceal it for you. You will only suffer mental pain. To the outside world, you will simply appear to be asleep.

"Ding! Beginning fusion. Fusion 1%... Fusion 5%..."

"Damn it, System, you're ruthless." An intense pain suddenly arose, stimulating Xiao Yao's nerves.

Xiao Yao's body felt as if it were being pierced by countless burning blades. Heart-wrenching pain spread throughout his entire body. It felt as though every tendon, bone, and drop of blood had been pulled out, then installed back into him. Wave after wave of pain surged toward him like the Qiantang River tide.

"Fusion 100%. Congratulations, Host, for successfully fusing the Human Physique and Alchemist Physique."

Xiao Zhan looked at the infant in his wife's arms. The child wore a gentle expression, as if he were having a beautiful dream. He then said to the woman sitting on the bed, "My dear, look at how adorable this child is when he sleeps."

At that moment, colorful battle qi energy surged in from outside and entered the infant's body, gradually improving his physique.

The child in the woman's arms, Xiao Yao, emitted a golden radiance from his entire body, startling everyone. Xiao Zhan could not help taking a deep breath as he said, "My Yao'er has the potential to become a Dou Emperor in the future."

Unfortunately, Xiao Yao had fainted from the pain of fusing the physiques. Otherwise, he would have jumped up and fiercely refuted him. What potential to become a Dou Emperor? I'm a man who can become a Dou Emperor!
