Wang Tianyi was panicking.

After all, standing before him were two divine monkeys who dared to punch a hole through the heavens—one was Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, and the other was the Six-Eared True Lord. The unconscious aura emanating from the two divine monkeys alone made Wang Tianyi keenly aware of his own insignificance.

"Have you not had your fill of beatings from my staff?"

Six Ears was brimming with ferocity as he approached Wang Tianyi with an unfriendly expression, but Sun Wukong stopped him. The two divine monkeys faced off, and Wang Tianyi could practically sense the thick scent of gunpowder in the air.

Sure enough, one was righteous and one was evil; one was orthodox and one was demonic. They were fundamentally opposed to each other.

"Hmph! If this brat hadn't absorbed your remnant body, could you have defeated me with those pathetic skills of yours?"

"Let Old Sun tell you this: this youngster suits my tastes. What he chooses is his freedom. If you dare be disrespectful again, heh heh, Old Sun will beat you until you can't tell north from south!"

The two divine monkeys began arguing, looking ready to come to blows at any moment. Wang Tianyi felt an immense headache coming on, so he took the initiative to break the deadlock.

"Great Sage, True Lord, why did you pull me into the Spiritual Sea? I only absorbed a Soul Bone. And Great Sage, what did you mean when you said you took away part of my Soul Power?"

Wang Tianyi desperately wanted answers, because he had a feeling there was some secret between these two Transcendent God-Tier Martial Souls!

"Well, how should I explain it? You can consider yourself chosen by the two of us. Did you really think you were lucky enough to obtain your current Martial Soul from that ridiculous roulette wheel? Youngster, we need your help!"

Sun Wukong scratched his ears and cheeks for a while before speaking. His poor ability to explain himself earned him a disdainful look from Six Ears.

"You fool, at least explain it properly! Kid, don't listen to his nonsense. For now, you only need to improve your strength. You will naturally find the answers someday! As for your Soul Power, there is no need to worry. Although the two of us will take a portion to recover ourselves, this will only benefit you, never harm you! Compared to our power, a little Soul Power is insignificant, isn't it?"

Wang Tianyi was somewhat confused, but he understood what the two divine monkeys meant.

Simply put, Sun Wukong and Six Ears would take a portion of the Soul Power he cultivated. In return, one day in the future, he would inherit the power of these two divine monkeys! Moreover, the system apparently was not omnipotent either. At the very least, that roulette wheel could be influenced by the two divine monkeys...

Just what realm had these two reached?

It was truly terrifying!

"There is one more reason we pulled you in this time..."

As Sun Wukong spoke, he suddenly plucked a glittering golden hair from his head!

"This life-saving hair shall be Old Sun's compensation to you. Take it. Should you encounter danger, pick up this hair and shout, 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven!' Old Sun will come save you!"

With a casual wave of Sun Wukong's hand, the hair flew into Wang Tianyi's hair at the top of his head. A streak of gold appeared at his left temple, strikingly conspicuous because it was not a color that could exist in the mortal world!

"What use is merely saving your life? Kid, you should take this of mine as well! If you find that his hair is useless, call out, 'Six-Eared True Lord!' It contains a trace of my power. By the standards of this inferior world, killing a Peak Douluo would be no problem!"

The hair turned into a ray of light and merged into Wang Tianyi's right temple, symmetrical with Sun Wukong's hair at his left temple, except its color was an exceptionally pure violet.

Wang Tianyi had already been handsome, but now he looked somewhat sinister.

He had lost a Heaven-Sweeping Cloak, yet gained two life-saving trump cards. Wang Tianyi was practically overwhelmed with happiness! He suddenly felt that he might have been too low-key. There was no need to mention the Great Sage's life-saving hair, while the hair given by Six Ears was even more straightforward and brutal! It could kill a Peak Douluo? There were only three Limit Douluos in this world! So what, was he invincible beneath the Limit Douluo realm?

Spirit Hall, Clear Sky Sect—whichever unlucky bastard got hit by this hair would find out!

"Go on, and break through to Soul Sage as soon as possible! Old Sun is looking forward to the day my power descends upon this world!"

The Great Sage waved his hand and gently pushed Wang Tianyi out. Just before his consciousness returned to his body, Wang Tianyi clearly heard the sounds of fighting erupt within the Spiritual Sea once more.

"These two are really quite amusing!"

Wang Tianyi took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his excitement. He slowly got up from Tang Hao's body. As for whether his strange behavior just now would arouse Tang Hao's suspicions, he did not care in the slightest. After all, in ten years, the balance between offense and defense would reverse!

"With this matter settled, Senior Clear Sky Douluo, let us meet again in ten years!"

Looking at Tang Hao lying on the ground, Wang Tianyi took a pickaxe forged from refined iron out of his Storage Soul Tool. Humming a little tune, he dug an enormous pit in the ground before burying Tang Hao alive.

Ever cautious, he picked up the Heart-Satisfying Iron Rod and repeatedly compacted the earth. Then, without tiring, he gathered another pile of soil and scattered Blue Silver Grass seeds over the ground. Before long, Blue Silver Grass would surely break through the soil. It could at least make up for Tang San's disappointment at never seeing his mother!

After all, Ah Yin had completely vanished from this world. Her main body and seeds had already been swallowed by Wang Tianyi, transformed into pure power within him. The only remaining Soul Bone had also been transformed by the system's powerful force into a remnant body of the Great Sage more suited to him, completely merging with his body.

Poor Tang San had now lost both his parents. Of course, Tang Hao was not dead yet, but unfortunately, under the concealment effect of the Heaven-Sweeping Cloak, even if Tang San came here and stood on Tang Hao's head, he would never discover anything unusual!

"Next, I'll grit my teeth and prepare to charge toward level 20!"

Wang Tianyi silently made up his mind. Although part of the Soul Power he cultivated would be taken by the Great Sage and Six Ears, it would become a generous reward one day in the future. It did not matter if his Soul Power cultivation was slower; he only needed to put in twice or three times the effort of ordinary people.

The future was promising!

In the blink of an eye, five years passed.

The capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City.

At the city gate, a youth dressed in a fitted black-and-white outfit stepped into the city. He had refined features, ape-like arms, and a narrow waist. His extraordinary bearing, combined with a face as handsome as Yu Yan's, drew the gazes of countless women. The gold at his left temple and violet at his right temple were particularly eye-catching. His expression was calm, yet an unshakable pride lurked deep within his eyes—the sort of ostentation that made ordinary people curse him as a show-off at first sight.

This person was none other than Wang Tianyi!

Five years had completely transformed him. Though he could have graduated from Notting Academy long ago, he had remained there for a full five years in order to trigger more system choices. Now that he had graduated, under the influence of his arrogant personality, he had given up on enrolling at Shrek Academy—milking system rewards was satisfying, but breathing the same air as that kind of trash made him nauseous! Enduring it for five years had already been a miracle.

Thus, he had come to prosperous Heaven Dou City!

Here, he would carve out a path to power that belonged to him alone!
