Awakening, Hextech System!

Baroque Kingdom, Suotuo City, Rose Hotel.

Inside the hotel lobby.

"Hey, this is clearly our room. Why are you blocking the way?"

A girl in pink with a scorpion braid spoke to a blond boy with clear dissatisfaction.

People came and went around them, occasionally glancing their way.

"Ah..."

The blond youth being addressed froze for a moment. Looking at the scene around him, his expression was somewhat dazed.

Damn...

Where was this?

Why did... this scene feel so familiar?

Wait...

The blond youth merely lowered his head and sensed this body of his, immediately understanding what had happened.

He had transmigrated.

And he had transmigrated into Dai Mubai from Douluo Continent.

The little girl with the scorpion braid before him was Xiao Wu.

The current point in the timeline was before Tang San enrolled at Shrek Academy, when he had clashed with Dai Mubai at the hotel.

Dai Mubai pondered.

His situation did not seem very favorable.

Having transmigrated into Dai Mubai, it was inevitable that he would have dealings with Tang San.

Still, his identity was quite good.

Just as Dai Mubai considered his circumstances and sighed inwardly.

A voice rang out in his mind.

Ding! Congratulations, host! You have activated the Hextech System!

What the hell?

The Hextech System?

Dai Mubai had already been somewhat confused after just transmigrating here, and now he was even more confused.

Wasn't this something from Gold Shovel Shovel?

Ding! Please choose one of the following three Hextech Augments!

Newcomer Entry: Gain an additional Martial Soul Slot and immediately receive a Martial Soul Replicator.

Golden Egg: Provides a Golden Egg that requires eleven years to hatch. Once opened, it can yield generous rewards.

Level Up!: For every 2 levels of Soul Power gained, gain an additional level of Soul Power. Immediately gain 2 levels of Soul Power.

What a damn high-roll start!

Dai Mubai understood. This system actually provided him with the Hextech Augments from Gold Shovel Shovel!

This was simply incredible!

A prismatic start!

All three of these Hextech Augments were good stuff.

But he could only choose one, which left Dai Mubai somewhat torn.

First, he definitely could not choose the Golden Egg.

Golden Eggs in the game were absolutely a gambler's favorite.

But...

It needed eleven years to hatch now, making it practically worthless.

One had to know that according to Douluo Continent's timeline, eleven years would be enough for him to Become a God.

If it then gave him a reward that let him Become a God, wouldn't he become a joke?

So there was no need to choose it.

Besides... if he did not want to be on the same side as Tang San, choosing this might get him killed.

As for Newcomer Entry and Level Up!, Dai Mubai was genuinely somewhat hesitant.

Newcomer Entry could give him Twin Martial Souls, and Twin Martial Souls held a tremendous advantage on Douluo Continent.

They could greatly increase his combat power.

If he were like Tang San, he might even be able to fight enemies an entire major realm above him.

And Level Up! was no worse.

Gain an extra level for every two levels gained—continuing to level up would be absurdly easy.

Whether it was rapidly raising his Soul Power Level in the early stages.

Or reducing the difficulty of leveling up in the later stages, it would be immensely useful.

Before reaching Soul King, cultivation speed was very fast.

And with Level Up!, he could quickly advance to Soul King.

As for after Soul King, leveling up became harder and harder the further one went.

As long as he reached Level 98, he could instantly break through to Level 99.

He would never encounter a bottleneck.

This Hextech Augment could vastly increase the speed at which he raised his Soul Power...

How should he choose between combat power and leveling speed?

Dai Mubai hesitated for a moment before ultimately deciding to choose Level Up!.

Although Newcomer Entry could give him Twin Martial Souls, as well as a Martial Soul Replicator.

Twin Martial Souls could only be cultivated in the later stages. In the early stages, he could only cultivate one Martial Soul first.

That would greatly slow his progress.

Screw it.

Even with only one Martial Soul, he could still reach the summit.

Dai Mubai directly chose Level Up!.

Ding!

As the system chimed, Dai Mubai immediately felt the Soul Power within him rise to another level.

He jumped directly from Level 37 to Level 39.

That was already a huge improvement.

With his talent, it would not take long for him to reach Soul Ancestor.

Host has completed the Hextech selection! The next Hextech selection will be triggered when the host reaches Soul Ancestor!

Oh?

He could choose again upon reaching Soul Ancestor?

Dai Mubai raised an eyebrow.

Then if he kept getting prismatics...

"Hey, what are you spacing out for?"

Xiao Wu's voice reached him, directly pulling Dai Mubai from his joy back into reality.

Tang San, standing nearby, watched Dai Mubai's slightly dazed expression and frowned as well.

What was wrong with this guy?

They had just wanted to stay at the hotel, yet this guy had jumped out to cause trouble.

He had even said he wanted to spar with him.

Yet now, this guy was just standing there in a daze.

What was going on?

Tang San could not help shaking his head.

He did not look like a very formidable opponent. He did not even know to prepare himself for battle.

"You, are we fighting or not?"

Tang San spoke up as well, his body tensing slightly as though he were preparing something.

Perhaps he was preparing a Hidden Weapon.

Dai Mubai merely gave the two of them a cold glance.

There had been a saying in his previous life.

Better to be Xiao Yan's lackey than Tang San's brother.

There was no need to get involved with Tang San at this point.

As for teaching Tang San a lesson...

That was even more unnecessary. He was not that bored.

Besides, that old schemer Tang San could use Hidden Weapons. With a Dragon Whisker Needle in hand, even Zhao Wuji would suffer.

"Hmph!"

Dai Mubai left with a cold expression. There was no need to show them a pleasant face.

Level Up, Level Up!

Cultivation was what mattered most right now.

"Third Brother, why is that guy so strange?"

Xiao Wu rose onto her tiptoes and looked at Dai Mubai's departing figure, completely baffled.

"..."

Tang San fell silent, equally confused.

Just a moment ago, they had been at each other's throats and were practically about to fight.

Yet the next moment, this guy had simply left?

Watching Dai Mubai's retreating back.

Tang San slightly raised his right hand.

Since that man had spoken disrespectfully to Xiao Wu, even if he was preparing to leave, he had already earned a death sentence!

Should he catch up to him...

"Forget it, forget it. It's fine that he left. Better to avoid trouble when possible. We probably won't see him again anyway."

Xiao Wu scratched her head and pulled Tang San back.

"That's true. Better to avoid trouble when possible."

Tang San smiled slightly and lowered his hand. Then he looked at Xiao Wu. "Xiao Wu, you must not be like him and space out when preparing for battle, or your opponent might seize the chance to ambush you."
