The Body Sect.
Du Busi, the sect master, hurried up to a small, exquisite villa with a note clenched in his hand.
Without another word, he kicked the door open.
Apart from the warped, mangled door, everything inside was neatly arranged. The room was spotless, with no sign that anyone had ever lived there.
"Chen Mo, you little bastard!!!"
"You really ran off!"
"Damn it! Once I drag you back, I'll break your legs!"
With that, Du Busi flung the note onto the floor.
A single line was written on it: "Old geezer, I'm off to school. I'll make time to visit you during the holidays."
Somewhere in the Star Dou Great Forest.
An enormous ice silkworm leaned down over a boy, his face brimming with delighted surprise.
The corpse of a ten-year wind baboon lay nearby.
"Hahaha! After waiting so long, I've finally found a soul master with a mental attribute!"
"You bastards who treated me as food, your chance is gone!"
"I'm starting now. Relax. I'll be gentle—it won't hurt too much."
Before the boy could say anything, the ice silkworm pressed his large, fleshy head firmly against the boy's forehead.
The next moment.
Boundless soul power and spiritual power spread through the forest.
"Sigh..."
"Am I still a step too late?"
"Sky Dream Ice Silkworm has already started sacrificing himself to Huo Yuhao."
"Never mind. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm isn't part of this mission's requirements anyway."
From a tree not far away, a black-haired boy took in the entire scene.
The boy was exceptionally handsome, with delicate features and sharply defined contours. His eyes, in particular, were strikingly unusual.
His green pupils gleamed like jade, flowers hidden within their emerald depths.
A pure aura of light occasionally radiated from his body.
His name was Chen Mo. Besides being the young master of the Body Sect, he was also a transmigrator.
If anyone asked Chen Mo how he had transmigrated, he could only say his luck had been spectacular. He had been at home eating hot pot, singing, and catching alternate-colored creatures in the Rock Kingdom Mobile Game when a Dayun truck suddenly fell from the sky and crushed him!
When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived on the Douluo Continent as an orphan whose parents had both died.
At his martial soul awakening at six, he had awakened twin martial souls and level-ten innate soul power. One of his martial souls was even a body martial soul.
As luck would have it, Du Busi, who had been searching everywhere for someone with a body martial soul, witnessed the scene.
Upon learning that Chen Mo's body martial soul possessed an ultimate attribute, Du Busi was so delighted that he could not suppress his grin.
After searching for so long, the day had finally come. He had at last found the ideal person to inherit his mantle.
People who could awaken body martial souls were already pitifully rare. A body martial soul with an ultimate attribute was something he had never even seen.
And so Du Busi forcibly took Chen Mo as his final disciple, trussed him up, stuffed him into a sack, and carried him back to the Body Sect, where he became its young master and principal heir.
The body martial soul Chen Mo had awakened was an ultimate mental-type body martial soul—the Jade-Eyed Three-Flower Pupils!
Now only nine years old, Chen Mo was already a level-twenty-seven Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster.
Three days earlier, he had bound himself to an MVP Settlement System.
It was simple to use.
The system issued missions, and Chen Mo only needed to fulfill their requirements to claim his settlement.
The more thoroughly he fulfilled the requirements, the richer the rewards would be.
The first mission it issued was to snatch Huo Yuhao's fortuitous opportunity.
Its mandatory requirement was to capture a wisp of Electrolux's remnant soul.
"Electrolux's remnant soul should arrive any moment. I need to prepare." Watching the sacrifice, which was already halfway complete, Chen Mo's expectant eyes began to glow emerald green.
Two soul rings, one purple and one black, emerged beneath his feet.
Under the influence of the tremendous energy released by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's sacrifice, the formerly clear sky suddenly darkened, followed by an explosive thunderclap.
An overwhelming pressure that made breathing difficult descended from the sky in an instant.
Even Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, a million-year soul beast, could not help feeling intensely uneasy beneath that pressure.
There came a sharp crack!
A gray current of air tore straight through space and shot toward Huo Yuhao's body.
"Oh-ho! You dare fight me for him!"
"Have a taste of my million-year spiritual fluctuations!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm thought the little gray orb was trying to steal his host.
He immediately unleashed his spiritual power to oppose it.
Yet after just one exchange.
He was sent flying by Electrolux's sole remaining wisp of divine consciousness.
Just as Electrolux was about to enter Huo Yuhao's body, as he had in the original story.
Chen Mo, who had long since prepared himself, immediately activated his Jade-Eyed Three-Flower Pupils. The second soul ring around him lit up.
"Second soul skill—Spatial Interference!"
The three green flower patterns in his pupils locked onto Electrolux's remnant soul and released spatial power.
It vanished from its original position in an instant and appeared above Chen Mo's head.
Disappearing along with it was the shed husk Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had left on the ground after his sacrifice.
Electrolux's already frail remnant soul had grown even weaker after that brief clash with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
With Chen Mo's system concealing him, and his attack coming so suddenly.
Electrolux had no defenses in place.
The skill struck him directly.
Already on the verge of dissolution and possessing little independent awareness, Electrolux had no time to consider what had happened. He swiftly plunged into Chen Mo's body below.
Chen Mo immediately opened the gates to his Sea of Consciousness.
Once Electrolux entered, he sealed his Sea of Consciousness shut faster than thunder could reach the ear.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had been sent flying, saw the terrifying little gray orb vanish with a whoosh! His large head filled with confusion.
"With sun and moon in hand, I pluck the stars; none in this world can rival me!"
"Hahaha... To think a wisp of this old man's remnant soul could still survive!"
Hearing Electrolux's domineering declaration.
Chen Mo's face filled with a smile.
"I finally got him!"
Perhaps sensing the arrival of an outsider.
Pure light energy suddenly surged within his Sea of Consciousness.
It ultimately gathered into a cute little beast with a blue-and-white body.
"Di... mo!"
This was Chen Mo's second martial soul, the ultimate-light-attribute beast martial soul—Dimo.
Dimo wore a solemn expression, staring fixedly at the little gray orb.
The orange-yellow V-shaped mark on Dimo's forehead was ready to attack at any moment.
"Dimo, don't worry. He means no harm."
Chen Mo hurriedly gathered Dimo into his arms.
"I never expected to encounter such pure light in my lifetime. What a surprise." Electrolux spoke as he studied Dimo.
As the previous Child of Light, a grand light magister blessed with supreme talent for light, Electrolux felt an inexplicable affinity toward Dimo.
Seeing Dimo's hostility toward him, however, he said gently, "This young friend is right. Little one, I mean no harm."
"I merely wish to borrow this place to restore my essence."
"Sorry for the intrusion."
After saying this, Electrolux immediately fell silent and gave no further response.
"Dimo, Dimo." Still somewhat worried, Dimo turned to look at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo stroked Dimo and said, "Relax. Everything's fine. This senior will be a tremendous help to us in the future."
[Mission: Seize protagonist Huo Yuhao's fortuitous opportunity. Completed!] [Objective requirement: Snatch Electrolux's remnant soul. Completed!] [The host also took Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's shed husk, earning the special achievement "Unexpected Snatch MVP"!] [Begin settlement now?]
The system's cold, mechanical notification rang directly through his mind.
"No!"
Chen Mo firmly refused the system's settlement.
His consciousness also returned from his Sea of Consciousness to reality.
All because he had sensed two auras rapidly approaching him.
