What the fuck, Tang San, how are you still not dead?
Damn it, if I were in Douluo, I would beat the absolute shit out of you!
A hack king was a hack king. The moment he saw Tang San successfully resurrected in the anime finale, Zhang Nan could no longer hold back his inner rage and punched the tablet in his hand.
Bang!!!
An explosion rang out. Zhang Nan had no time to dodge, instantly passing out cold.
Hiss! My head hurts so much. This? Where is this?
A moment later.
Zhang Nan only felt his head throbbing as if it were about to split open. He opened his eyes against the blinding light, dimly looked around, and stood up unsteadily.
He saw bizarre flowers and lush, dense herbs all around, with trees of thick, dazzling colors.
Wait, what is this?
A patch of plants emitting a blue-silver radiance beneath a tree ahead instantly caught Zhang Nan's gaze. He took three steps in two, plucked a stalk, and examined it closely in his hand.
Hiss... isn't this little bastard's Blue Silver Grass... how is it here?
Holy crap! Could it be that I actually fucking time-traveled?
I just casually talked trash about beating up Tang San, it shouldn't be this real, right?
The hack king is so ridiculously strong, wouldn't he ice me in minutes? Where is morality? Where is the law? Where is the martial soul? And where the hell is the system?
Just as Zhang Nan was lost in thought, a national-server female aegyo voice suddenly entered Lin Nan's ears.
"Woohoo~, little bro, are you looking for me?"
"What the fuck! A system?"
Zhang Nan was genuinely startled by that flirtatious voice, but fortunately, he reacted immediately.
As the saying goes, when heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first exhausts their muscles and bones, starves their body, and frustrates their efforts.
It wasn't that Zhang Nan was narcissistic, but from the moment he entered this world, he knew he was the chosen one.
Sure enough.
"Little bro, next time you call the system, do you mind not putting the word 'what the fuck' in front of it?"
At this point, the system had resumed its normal voice.
Zhang Nan coughed awkwardly.
"I got excited just now, I'll try my best next time, I'll try my best!"
"Uh, system, hurry up and introduce yourself, let me see what special functions you have so I can beat the crap out of that little bastard!"
Hack king, oh hack king, you've finally met your match this time, haven't you?
The moment I finish listening to the system's special abilities will be the day your dog head hits the floor. Let's see if I don't smash your divine position to smithereens then.
After asking this, Zhang Nan rubbed his hands, his heart already beginning to brim with anticipation.
"This system is the Strongest Villain Infinite Summoning System. Upon binding, you can summon the Five Tiger Generals. As time passes and system tasks are completed, more will be summoned. You will also be granted any twin martial souls of your choice, two types of divine grace constitutions, and the right of inheritance to dual divine positions!"
"Host, what do you think?"
"I think it sucks!"
He was going to be the top man in Douluo Continent, punching little bastards, kicking Three-Cannon Gang, and then sucking on hundred-thousand-year spicy rabbit heads, becoming a god right at the start.
How is this only dual divine positions? Twin martial souls?
The Shrek Seven Monsters are not easy to mess with right now.
Besides, today's Tang San is not the old little bastard. Behind him are not only his dad Tang Hao, his mom Ah Yin, the Clear Sky Sect, the Tang Sect, the entire Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire... a list of factions too long to finish in one breath, and on top of that, he resurrects every time he dies. How is anyone supposed to fight that?
Simply outrageous!
The system sensed Zhang Nan's inner thoughts and advised:
"Host, judging by the current timeline of Douluo Continent, although Tang San isn't a little tadpole anymore, right now he's just a cook making meals for his dad in Holy Soul Village. Are you sure you want to pass up this golden opportunity to punch him?"
Damn!
So that's how it is!
Zhang Nan finally understood. He had originally thought he landed in the middle of a car crash, going straight up against Tang San from the finale. He hadn't expected a dream start, facing the little bastard growing up on the exact same timeline.
Hiss!
The little bastard's physical hacks from his past life versus his own modern technological hacks—just thinking about it was thrilling.
Hahahaha
Zhang Nan couldn't help laughing out loud.
"System, issue the system rewards! I'm ready to roam and conquer this continent!"
My fate is up to me, not the heavens. This time, if he had to choose between the little bastard and Spirit Hall, Zhang Nan would choose neither.
He was going to be self-reliant. Two tigers couldn't share one mountain. Relying on his memory of the plot's development, he would cut off all paths for the original protagonist to become a god, rally his own faction, and build his own sect.
Especially since, according to his memories, the subsequent conflict between Tang San and Spirit Hall would engulf the entire Douluo Continent as the plot progressed. No one would be able to stay out of it then.
Therefore, he absolutely could not let the little bastard grow. With his past-life memories and the status of a hack king, Zhang Nan truly wasn't sure he could wipe him out after he attained dual divine positions.
"Host, select your two favorite martial souls and two divine positions, and the system will awaken them for you instantly!"
The system interface popped up.
Tool martial souls, shield martial souls, beast-type martial souls, plant-type martial souls... food-type... elemental-type... even celestial-type martial souls.
The detailed information and awakened appearance of each martial soul were vividly displayed on the system page.
The ones Zhang Nan was most familiar with were the Clear Sky Hammer... Seraphim... Blue Silver Grass... Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda... Nine-Heart Begonia...
The Clear Sky Hammer represented the Clear Sky Sect, the Seraphim represented Spirit Hall, and an ability like Blue Silver Grass was basically useless except for control and restraint. Since he wanted to build a sect, he needed a one-of-a-kind martial soul in this world.
Martial Soul: Peerless Sword Case
Grade: SSS
Detailed Description: The Peerless Sword Case is the supreme treasure of Peerless City, containing a total of thirteen swords: Cloud Shuttle, Azure Frost, Phoenix Flute, Red Leaf, Butterfly, Shadow Severer, Calamity Breaker, Life Slayer, Jade Ruyi, Finger-Winding Softness, Cang, Mang, and Great Ming Vermilion Bird... Once a soul master reaches the Title Douluo rank, they can wield all thirteen swords simultaneously...
Martial Soul: Darknight Shadow Leopard
Grade: S
Detailed Description: Awakening this martial soul grants an innate external head soul bone. The soul bone skill provides an invisibility effect, which can be used for sneak attacks and assassinations...
Fortunately, Zhang Nan didn't suffer from indecision and quickly chose his twin martial souls.
Anyone who had watched Young Pilgrimage would naturally know the power of the Peerless Sword Case controlling thirteen swords at once. And while the Darknight Shadow Leopard martial soul was only a single S-grade, it possessed a uniquely stealthy soul bone skill.
This was equivalent to King Lanling turning on invisibility, letting him reap whoever he wanted.
"Please select your divine positions, host!"
Another system interface popped up, displaying all sorts of divine positions endlessly.
Among them were the se—bah, River God divine position and the Asura Divine Position.
"River God Tang San, oh River God Tang San, after nine trials you couldn't even beat Qian Renxue, whose ascension process was padded to hell and back. You can keep this divine position. The Asura Divine Position won't do either; a tier-three god can't even beat two tier-one gods... Forget being Asura, go repair the sewers instead..."
