The Beginning, Gathering of the Protagonist Group, and Arrival of the System

"We're both transmigrators, so why does Tang San get Tang Sect techniques and a pile of hidden weapons, while I'm stuck as a mere support?"

The Shrek Academy playground.

Leaning against a nearby tree trunk, Lin Yan watched Tang San, who had already exploded with power during the evaluation because Xiao Wu lost consciousness, madly hurling hidden weapons at Zhao Gji's face.

A trace of jealousy couldn't help rising in the depths of his heart.

After transmigrating to Douluo, he thought he would at least awaken some heaven-defying martial soul, or perhaps acquire a super awesome system.

The result...

A flash of white light across the awakening array, and his martial soul turned out to be the "Prayer Angel"!

That's right, the very same Prayer Angel belonging to Ya Li, the Holy Spirit Douluo from the Douluo III era.

Lin Yan was speechless...

It wasn't that this martial soul was inherently bad, but rather... it had zero offensive power!

On top of that, it couldn't cultivate independently; it could only raise its cultivation by saving people and absorbing the power of faith.

For a transmigrator deeply familiar with the Douluo plot, this was simply too agonizing.

Since he had already transmigrated to Douluo, who wouldn't want to "show great ambition," "refuse to eat beef," bully the little trash, find a few girlfriends, and then ascend to the God Realm?

Yet right now...

[Ding~]

[Detected that the protagonist group has gathered, the system is now activated! This system is named: Heroine Conquest Talisman System]

"Huh? What?"

As his thoughts flew, a mechanical female voice suddenly rang in Lin Yan's mind.

Lin Yan's expression stiffened, and his once lazy, half-reclined body instantly sat straight up.

"There really is a system?"

Before he could determine whether the voice just now was an illusion, a semi-transparent, light-blue light screen visible only to him appeared before his eyes.

[Heroine Conquest Talisman System]

Clear, standard lettering came into view, causing Lin Yan to draw a sharp breath.

"Hiss~"

"I knew it! We're both transmigrators, so why should only that little trash get to enjoy life."

"The protagonist group gathered? So the system required the protagonist group to gather before it could activate."

"Well, let me see how powerful this system is."

Soon, text appeared on the light-blue light screen.

[System rules are now released:]

[1. The system can detect the heroine's favorability toward the host. For every heroine whose favorability toward the host reaches 100%, the host will harvest one random "Twelve Talismans of Shendu" along with extra rewards.]

[2. The host cannot use the talisman abilities; they only take effect on the exclusive heroine.]

[3. After conquering a heroine, the host can obtain extra rewards, the contents of which change as the host's strength increases.]

"Ah?"

After reading the text on the panel, Lin Yan felt as though he had been subjected to a massive deception.

"No... do systems use clickbait titles nowadays?"

"Conquer heroines and receive talismans, but why can only the exclusive heroines use the talismans? What about me? Do I only get random rewards?"

[The novice gift pack has been issued; tap to view the gift pack contents]

Ignoring Lin Yan's complaints, the system acted like a command-executing program, popping up a novice gift pack option on the light screen.

Lin Yan's face twisted into an expression resembling an old subway man looking at his phone.

The air fell silent, and it took a long time for him to accept reality.

"Whatever, having a system is better than nothing."

"Let's see what's in the gift pack first."

Tapping the light screen with his finger, the system interface quickly changed.

[Novice gift pack successfully opened, obtaining the following items:]

[1. Being a transmigrator, Tang San has twin martial souls, so to compensate the host, the host may freely choose a "Second Spirit"]

[2. Being a transmigrator, Tang San possesses hidden weapons, so to compensate the host, the host will receive a "Soul Tool Crafting Bench from the Peerless Tang Sect era"]

[3. Being a transmigrator, Tang San has a Title Douluo father, so to compensate the host...]

At this point, the system stuttered slightly, the text suspended in midair for quite a while without moving further.

"No..."

"I'm an orphan, system, you aren't suddenly going to issue me a Title Douluo dad, are you?"

[Therefore, to compensate the host, the host may obtain a "Titled Douluo Puppet" (this puppet possesses the strength of a rank 95 Title Douluo, but can only be used 3 times; note: displaying the puppet does not consume a use)]

"Hoo~"

"Good thing the system didn't give me a dad!"

Lin Yan let out a long breath and patted his chest.

If it had suddenly given him a Title Douluo dad, he... he really wouldn't have been able to accept it very well.

However, a puppet was much more reasonable, though it was a pity it could only be used three times.

As for the first two...

"Optional second martial soul? Crafting bench?"

His finger tapped on the first reward option, "Twin Martial Souls".

[Whether to start selection now; once started, it cannot be interrupted]

"Forget it, forget it. I'll wait until tonight."

It was broad daylight and there were people all about, plus Tang Hao was lurking nearby. If he caused any commotion, it really wouldn't be easy to explain.

Good things take time, so he might as well wait until nighttime when nobody was around to secretly claim it.

Lowering his gaze, Lin Yan tapped on the second option.

[Peerless Tang Sect Soul Tool Crafting Bench]

[The host can deposit materials into the crafting bench to forge corresponding soul tools]

A simple sentence of description summarized the basic information of the crafting bench.

"Looking at it this way, the gap between myself and Tang San really seems to have been leveled out quite a bit."

"No... no matter how you look at it, soul tools are much more powerful than hidden weapons, plus the second martial soul and the Title Douluo-level puppet..."

"Hiss~"

"And that's not even counting the so-called other rewards the system gives after subsequently conquering the heroines."

Thus, integrating all the rewards together, after clearing his thoughts, a bright smile immediately appeared on Lin Yan's face.

Everything was getting better!

Even without the ability of the talisman, these rewards given by the system were completely enough to let him take off, hahaha!

On the other side, the battle on the training ground had already ended.

Unsurprisingly, Zhao Wuji was beaten black and blue, and was also hit by several Dragon Whisker Needles, which formed bulging lumps under his skin.

Ning Rongrong came before Tang San with a look of pleasant surprise.

"Tang San, your Blue Silver Grass is amazing."

"This is the first time I've seen someone cultivate Blue Silver Grass to this extent. This is stronger than some ordinary tool martial souls."

Hearing this, Tang San revealed a faint smile. Under the praise of the pretty girl, he completely forgot that Xiao Wu was still unconscious nearby, and replied.

"Overpraised."

"All of this is thanks to my teacher's guidance."

"My teacher is Grandmaster, who is invincible in the theory of the soul world. He was the one who formulated my cultivation path. If not for my teacher's support, I suppose I would also have faded into the crowd."

Ning Rongrong:

"Then your teacher is truly amazing. I envy you so much."

"..."

The two of you exchanged words, starting to blow smoke up each other's skirts.

At this time, Zhao Wuji really couldn't bear to watch any longer. Enduring the pain on his body, he grimaced and shouted toward Lin Yan's direction.

"Kid Lin Yan, time to work!"

Lin Yan had already put away the system panel by this time, and upon hearing the call, he stood up and answered.

"Oh, coming."
