Battle Through the Heavens: Three Donghua Choices at Every Breakthrough—Starting as Shendu

After dying from overwork in the relentless rat race, he transmigrates into Battle Through the Heavens as Xiao Long, Xiao Yan's older brother.

With his mediocre talent, he figures his only option is to cling to his little brother Xiao Yan and coast through life. Even if he ends up crippled, trades his life for a higher cultivation realm, or gets captured by the Hun Clan, everything should work out once Xiao Yan becomes a Dou God.

Heaven always leaves a way out-and my path is right beneath my feet!!!

At six years old, he draws Qi into his body. Just when he thinks his aptitude is nothing special, his cheat arrives right on time: a choice of three rewards, all from animated series he watched in his previous life.

[1: Jackie Chan Adventures - Shendu]
[2: Shen Bing Kids - Shennong Ruler]
[3: The Legend of Qin - Jing Ni]

If Shendu is an option, pick Shendu!!

For the sake of a peaceful future, Xiao Long can only grit his teeth and pass up the beautiful, badass Jing Ni. For once, he lets his brain do the thinking instead of his hormones and chooses the Shendu template.

Upon reaching the Dou Practitioner realm, he passes up Flame Spirit Ji yet again and chooses a Rainbow Stone from Rainbow Sea, gaining the power to control shadows.

Xiao Long: "Now I've got everything I need!!"

When Nalan Yanran comes to break off her engagement, he immediately tears into her for lacking benevolence, righteousness, propriety, trustworthiness, and filial piety.

Nalan Yanran: "In that case, the engagement stands-but my fiancé will be Xiao Long instead!"

Xiao Long: "What the hell?! How did I become the fiancé?! No way! I'm calling off this engagement!!"
