Two Hairs, Five Years Later

Wang Tianyi was panicking.

After all, standing before him were two divine monkeys daring enough to punch a hole through the heavens: Sun Wukong and Six-Eared Perfected Lord. The unconscious aura radiating from their bodies alone made Wang Tianyi keenly aware of how insignificant he was.

"Have you not had enough of the rod yet?"

Six Ears radiated vicious intent as he approached Wang Tianyi with an unfriendly expression, but Sun Wukong stopped him. The two divine monkeys faced off, and Wang Tianyi could even sense the intense smell of gunpowder in the air.

Sure enough, one was righteous while the other was evil; one was orthodox while the other was demonic. They were fundamentally complete opposites.

"Hmph! If this brat had not absorbed your remnant body, do you think your pathetic skills could have defeated me?"

"Let me tell you, this youngster suits my taste. What he chooses is his freedom. If you dare be rude again, heh heh, I'll beat you until you can't tell north from south!"

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

"Great Sage, Perfected 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 always felt that these two Transcendent God-Tier Martial Souls were hiding a secret!

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

Sun Wukong scratched his ears and cheeks for a while before finally speaking. However, his poor ability to explain things earned him a fierce eye-roll from Six Ears.

"You idiot, explain it properly! Kid, don't listen to this fellow's nonsense. For now, you only need to increase your strength. You will naturally find the answers in the future! 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 bring you nothing but benefits! Compared to the power we possess, a little Soul Power is not worth mentioning, right?"

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

Simply put, a portion of the Soul Power he cultivated would be taken by Sun Wukong and Six Ears. In exchange, 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 grand roulette wheel could be influenced by the two divine monkeys...

Just what realm had these two reached?

It was truly terrifying!

"We pulled you in this time for one more matter..."

As Sun Wukong spoke, he suddenly plucked a golden, gleaming strand of hair from his head!

"This life-saving hair is compensation from me. Take it. If you encounter danger, pick up this hair and shout, 'Sun Wukong!' I will come save you!"

With a casual wave of Sun Wukong's hand, the strand of hair flew out and merged directly into the hair atop Wang Tianyi's head. A streak of gold appeared at his left temple, exceptionally conspicuous because it was a color no mortal world could possess!

"What use is merely saving your life? Kid, keep this item of mine as well! If you find this fellow's hair useless, call out, 'Six-Eared Perfected Lord!' It contains a trace of my power. By the standards of this inferior world, killing a Peak Douluo would not be a problem!"

The strand of hair transformed into a streak of light and merged into Wang Tianyi's right temple, symmetrical with Sun Wukong's hair at his left temple. However, its color was an incomparably 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 struck dumb by 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 Six Ears had given him was even more simple and brutal! Kill a Peak Douluo? Yet there were only three Limit Douluos in this world! So what, I'm invincible below the Limit Douluo realm?

Spirit Hall, Clear Sky Sect—whichever unlucky bastard got this strand of hair would be in for it!

"Go. Break through to Soul Sage as soon as possible! I am 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 distinctly heard the sounds of fighting rise from the Spiritual Sea once more.

"These two really are quite amusing!"

Wang Tianyi took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart. He slowly rose from Tang Hao's body. As for whether his strange actions just now would make Tang Hao suspicious, he did not care in the slightest. After all, ten years from now, the balance of offense and defense would reverse!

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

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

Ever cautious, he picked up the Heart-Satisfying Iron Rod and repeatedly tamped down the earth. Then, tirelessly, he fetched a pile of soil and scattered Blue Silver Grass seeds across the ground. Before long, the Blue Silver Grass would surely sprout from the soil. That could at least make up somewhat for Tang San's disappointment at never seeing his mother again!

After all, Ah Yin had completely vanished from this world. Her original body and seeds had already been swallowed by Wang Tianyi, transformed into pure power within him. The only Soul Bone left behind had also been converted by the system's formidable power into a remnant body of the Great Sage better suited to him, completely merging with him.

Poor Tang San could now be considered to have lost both parents. Of course, Tang Hao was not dead yet, but regrettably, beneath the concealment ability of the Heaven-Sweeping Cloak, even if Tang San came here and stood on Tang Hao's head, he would absolutely fail to notice anything unusual!

"Next, I need to grit my teeth and prepare to charge toward level twenty!"

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 a little slower, as long as he put in two or three times more effort than 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 gates, a youth dressed in fitted black-and-white clothing stepped into the city. His delicate features, ape-like arms, and narrow waist gave him an extraordinary bearing. His looks rivaled Yu Yan's, drawing the eyes of countless women. The gold at his left temple and violet at his right were especially eye-catching. His expression was calm, but a lingering arrogance hid deep within his eyes—enough that anyone who saw him would secretly curse him as a show-off.

This person was Wang Tianyi!

Over five years, he had undergone a complete transformation. Though he could have long since graduated from Notting Academy, he had remained there for a full five years. His purpose was naturally to trigger more system choices. Now that he had graduated, under the influence of his arrogant personality, he had abandoned the idea of enrolling at Shrek Academy—milking system rewards was satisfying, but breathing the same air as such trash made him want to vomit! Enduring it for five years was already a miracle.

Thus, he came to prosperous Heaven Dou City!

Here, he would carve out a path to strength that belonged solely to him!
