In Douluo I, I Rolled a Douluo II Xuan Zi Template! And the System's Missions Screw Over My Disciples!
"Yu Xiaogang! How is a level-29 Soul Grandmaster like you supposed to teach a genius with innate full soul power?"
"Have you ever cultivated a Blue Silver Grass martial soul?"
At the entrance to Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy!
With his shortcomings exposed in public, Yu Xiaogang's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he panted like an ox.
He stared daggers at the handsome young man in fitted blue clothes before him, pointed at his nose, and began to roar!
"Lu Xuan!"
"What do you know? Even if your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, my theories are unrivaled under heaven! Even Titled Douluos have to address me respectfully as Grandmaster."
"I'm confident I can raise a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master better than you! What gives you the right to look down on me?"
Lu Xuan!
Twenty years ago, he had accidentally transmigrated to the Douluo Continent.
A Blue Silver Grass martial soul had accompanied him for years, taking him from an innate soul power of level 4 to his current level 44.
Lu Xuan believed he had worked hard enough. A twenty-year-old Soul Ancestor might not qualify as a genius, but he certainly stood head and shoulders above his peers.
He had planned to cultivate quietly, then use his foreknowledge to compete for immortal herbs and various resources once he grew stronger.
Yet today, he happened to run into Tang San, who had come to register and gotten into an argument with the gatekeeper.
And Yu Xiaogang, who was competing with him for a "disciple."
"Because all you do is blow hot air!"
"You're a Soul Grandmaster who broke past fifty years old but only reached level 29, and you call your theories unrivaled? Who gave you that kind of courage?"
Faced with Yu Xiaogang's outrageous claims, Lu Xuan fired right back!
What a joke!
Tang San was the favored son of destiny for the entire continent, the heir handpicked by the Asura God and the Sea God. Forget what his character was like-just look at how powerful his backers were!
In the original story, Gangzi hadn't been taken to the Divine Realm because he was useless! He couldn't even measure up to a Man Faced Demon Spider.
But if Lu Xuan became Tang San's teacher, the outcome might well be different.
After all, to Tang San, "a teacher for a day is a father for life" wasn't just something to say!
Today, Lu Xuan was determined to make Tang San his!
With that thought, Lu Xuan released his martial soul. A strand of Blue Silver Grass with the life attribute slowly emerged from his palm, while four soul rings-two yellow and two purple-silently rose, pulsing as they interwove.
He explained:
"Tang San! My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, just like yours. Although I only turned twenty this year, I've already become a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor despite starting with an innate soul power of level 4."
"I have enough cultivation experience to be your teacher."
The four soul rings were dazzling.
After all, this was only tiny Nuoding City. Even the academy's dean was currently no more than a Soul Ancestor. The strength Lu Xuan had displayed already qualified him to become the center of attention.
Not far away, Yu Xiaogang saw Tang San's eyes light up when Lu Xuan released his martial soul, and he refused to be outdone.
"Tang San! As long as you agree to take me as your teacher, I'll give you this storage soul tool belt as a gift."
"You should know how valuable a Storage Soul Tool is!"
With that, Yu Xiaogang abandoned all dignity, undid his belt in public, and held it out before Tang San!
Little Tang San was somewhat bewildered, but when he saw the storage belt radiating soul power fluctuations, his eyes shone even brighter.
"A Storage Soul Tool?"
He had only heard people mention such things in passing. Supposedly, they contained an independent space where items could be stored, and they were now rare across the entire continent.
With one, wouldn't he have somewhere to store the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons he would make in the future?
He hadn't expected this unremarkable man with a crew cut to produce something so valuable at a moment's notice.
It seems my innate full soul power really does draw attention. So who should I take as my teacher?
The supposedly famous and generous Grandmaster? Or the Soul Ancestor with the same martial soul as me?
Tang San looked between Lu Xuan and Yu Xiaogang, his little malnourished face caught in an agonizing dilemma.
Seeing Tang San waver, Yu Xiaogang's old, stubbled face indeed broke into a confident smile as he sneered:
"A mere commoner Soul Master dares covet a genius with innate full soul power?"
"What damn good is high soul power? This storage belt has twenty-four pieces of jade on it. Any single one is worth enough to buy your life!"
"Besides, I already told you that my focus is martial soul theory!"
"Do you think everyone can only be a useless support like you? If you cultivate Blue Silver Grass, you have to take the control route!"
The control route?
Tang San caught the key point. This crew-cut man said Blue Silver Grass could take the control route? That truly piqued his interest.
After all, Blue Silver Grass was universally recognized as a trash martial soul in the Soul Master world. Even Tang San himself didn't know which path he should follow, yet this crew-cut man was saying his martial soul could take the control route, just like other Battle Soul Masters?
Tang San stared intently at Yu Xiaogang, but after a moment's thought, he turned toward Lu Xuan again, wanting to see what explanation this Soul Ancestor could offer.
However... all Tang San saw was Lu Xuan's blank expression, as though he had fallen into deep self-doubt.
Could this Soul Ancestor have realized his cultivation path was wrong and fallen into self-doubt?
Tang San quietly speculated.
Little did he know that Lu Xuan's blank expression was entirely due to the voice in his mind.
[Encounter with this world's chosen son of destiny detected. System activated!] [This system is called the Master-Disciple Recruitment System!] [Randomizing master template...]
System? Template?
Immersed in his Sea of Consciousness, Lu Xuan seemed to have fallen into a void. Only the pale blue screen before him offered any useful information in that space.
To think that, as a transmigrator, I'd get a system of my own one day.
Originally, I only wanted to use my memories from my past life to snatch Little Scumbag out from under his teacher's nose and cling to a future God King's coattails. But now...
Let me see what this system can do.
[Template randomization complete! Congratulations, host. You have obtained the "Douluo II-era Xuan Zi template"!] [Distributing rewards and missions!] [Reward 1: Soul power level increased directly to level 98. (Soul ring configuration: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red)] [Reward 2: Ordinary Blue Silver Grass martial soul evolves into the "Blue Silver Emperor." (Ultimate life attribute)] [Main mission: Within ten years, recruit the Shrek Seven Devils as disciples and, following Xuan Zi's experiences during Douluo II, get one student killed and two students crippled.] [Completion reward: Self-created godhood!] [Failure penalty: Erasure!] [Side mission: Successfully recruit Tang San as a disciple.] [Note: Before the main mission is completed, the system will periodically issue side missions concerning "Xuan Zi's classic exploits in Douluo II." Completion grants generous rewards; failure incurs a random penalty.]
Well, damn! I'm in Douluo I, but I rolled the template of Xuan Zi, the Holy Spirit Cult's supreme elder from Douluo II.
And the mission is to get my own students killed!
System, you're a little ridiculous!
Lu Xuan inwardly clicked his tongue, but he soon remembered that he had already jumped straight to level 98 and become a bona fide Super Douluo. The corners of his mouth began rising uncontrollably again.
Ridiculous or not, I like it.
As the saying went: if a man did not look out for himself, heaven and earth would destroy him!
Lu Xuan had no sympathy to spare worrying about whether others were innocent. Besides... very few of the original Shrek Seven Devils were truly innocent anyway.
He even wanted to ask the system: was it only one dead and two crippled? Could he trade a few more deaths for greater rewards?
