System Tasks

The morning glow was dazzling, streaming through the window and reflecting off Zhang Nan's strikingly handsome face.

"Damn it, just as expected—there were no ugly men in a cultivation world. I got woken up by my own damn handsomeness again!"

This was Zhang Nan's first time looking in a mirror since coming to this world. The reflection showed delicate brows, a sharply defined face, and an astonishingly handsome appearance. Maybe it had something to do with absorbing a soul ring; his entire bearing was valiant and spirited.

Back in his old world, he definitely would have had the potential to be a scumbag.

"Come on, let's find Three-Cannon Gang again today. I refuse to believe we can't catch that brat!"

After settling the bill, he led the Five Tiger Generals down the morning streets in grand fashion. The air was exceptionally fresh. After passing a place selling steamed buns and wontons, they sat down and ordered several bowls. He had to admit it—

It was really good!

It was no worse than the food from his old world.

After breakfast, Zhang Nan felt refreshed. When he reached Notting Academy and asked around, he discovered that Three-Cannon Gang was even harder to find than Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang could be invited out after three visits to his thatched cottage, but Zhang Nan had already come three times and still had not seen even a trace of him. He was only here to teach him a lesson—was that really so bad?

Could it be? Did someone fucking tip him off?

What a pain in the ass!

Ding!

"Congratulations, Host. By eliminating hidden dangers, you have unlocked the system inventory, system music, system tasks... system rewards... system shop... and twelve other hidden system functions!"

Several new tabs suddenly appeared on the system interface in Zhang Nan's mind. Each tab contained a small section when opened, just like a computer interface.

Zhang Nan could operate it with his thoughts or voice, and he could even summon the System Panel before his eyes in virtual form and operate it manually.

Awesome!!!

Before long, Zhang Nan had gained a thorough understanding of every function on the System Panel.

He opened the system tasks first.

"Holy shit? Win over that many? System, are you trying to make me die of exhaustion?"

Zhang Nan's eyes widened in shock at the densely packed task interface. He was earning Gold Soul Coins, not sperm coins. Good lord, good lord!!!

"Host, these are main storyline tasks. There are other tasks as well. Click 'Other' to view them!"

Zhang Nan opened it, only to find another densely packed page. Every reward was substantial.

Beat Zhao Wuji senseless, defeat Qian Daoliu, kill Tang Chen, kill Dai Mubai, kill Olica, kill the Evil Fire Phoenix fatty, shatter the River God Divine Position, shatter the Asura Divine Position...

Unify the entire Douluo world!

Those tasks looked more like proper tasks. As for the earlier ones, that was just... ahem.

"System, navigate me to Shrek Academy!"

"Certainly, Host!"

--

Before long, Zhang Nan arrived at the entrance of Shrek Academy. Flender and the Immovable King Zhao Wuji were sitting at the gate.

"Insufficient Soul Power... next!"

"Hey, did you read the recruitment notice properly? Shrek Academy only accepts monsters. You dare come here with a hoe Martial Soul? This isn't an agricultural academy... get lost. Next!"

"A tiger-type Martial Soul? Too ordinary, far too ordinary... next, next!"

"Why is it another farming-tool Martial Soul? No. Farming-tool Martial Souls are all rejected. If anyone behind has a farming-tool Martial Soul, don't bother lining up!"

"This one... won't do either..."

Unbelievable. Shrek Academy was being this picky? What was there to pick over?

From a long way off, Zhang Nan heard Zhao Wuji recruiting students in an unbearably arrogant tone. He specialized in dealing with people like that, so after giving the Five Tiger Generals a few instructions, he went over and joined the line.

Just as Zhang Nan walked over, a beautiful young girl in a short blue dress hurried up behind him.

"Hmm? Hello, classmate. Is this Shrek Academy?"

Wasn't this Ning Rongrong? Haha... the coins were practically in the bag!

Zhang Nan hurriedly concealed his wild delight.

"Yeah. Are you here to apply too?"

The moment Zhang Nan turned around, Ning Rongrong realized that this guy was actually quite handsome. Her heart immediately fluttered.

"Yep. Could I ask what your name is?"

System Scan!

Name: Ning Rongrong

Gender: Female

Martial Soul Type: Support-Type

Martial Soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda

Additional Information: Speed enhancement, recovery enhancement...

According to the system's additional information, Ning Rongrong was an obedient, well-behaved girl. She belonged to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and was the treasured daughter of its sect master.

"Zhang Nan. What about you?"

Although Zhang Nan already knew her name, he still had to pretend he did not.

"My name is Ning Rongrong. Hehe, can I stay with you?"

Girls with good personalities who were obedient and well-behaved were the easiest to fool. Don't ask how Zhang Nan knew; experience was the answer.

"Sure!"

Zhang Nan led her over with him. Thoughtfully, he had her stand beside him, then asked what food she liked, what she usually enjoyed playing, and whether she had time for him to take her to a movie or something.

They were lining up anyway. Thanks to Zhang Nan's silver tongue and a series of conversations, the two chatted and laughed together. From time to time, the crowd squeezed them into each other. Fortunately, Zhang Nan supported Ning Rongrong from behind, or she definitely would have fallen.

Gradually, their relationship became more and more intimate.

The Five Tiger Generals, who were hiding in the shadows and observing, were completely dumbfounded. Their sect master was this good at flirting with girls? They had only known each other for a few minutes, yet things had already developed this far? If he were given a few more days, would he not be able to take her straight to bed?

The Five Tiger Generals were ancient people, so naturally they did not understand the power of a twenty-first-century scumbag. Besides, they were generals. It was not that they were all rough men, but they certainly were not so open and uninhibited when it came to romance.

After only a short while in line, it was Ning Rongrong's turn. When she revealed her support-type Martial Soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, Flender and Zhao Wuji immediately exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.

That Martial Soul represented the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It was the unique ability of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's master. Could she be... a frightening thought surfaced in both their minds.

Test her!

Good lord, she actually had full innate Soul Power!

Zhao Wudi was utterly two-faced. He shouted at those whose Martial Souls or aptitude were lacking, but toward those with backgrounds and strength, he became respectful at once and hurriedly issued an admission qualification certificate.

"Thank you, Teachers!"

After accepting it, Ning Rongrong happily waved it before Zhang Nan's eyes. This was all within Zhang Nan's expectations. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was a superpower, after all. With the faction behind her, Shrek Academy would not dare refuse her.

"Reveal your Martial Soul!"

When it was Zhang Nan's turn, Zhao Wuji gave a light cough and wore a sour expression, as though someone owed him several hundred bucks.

But when Zhang Nan spread both hands and two Martial Souls gleamed in his palms at the same time, Flender and Zhao Wuji sprang up from their chairs behind the desk in astonishment.

This was... this was actually the incredibly rare Twin Martial Souls!

Holy crap!
