I Pick Up Fragments on Douluo Continent

Author: Ximen Abin

Synopsis:

Synopsis:

After transmigrating to Douluo Continent, Lu Feng discovered that he could see fragments of all kinds of colors. Once fused, they could be transformed into money, skills, attributes, cultivation techniques, and more.

The more famous a location was, the higher the chance of fragments dropping; the more he interacted with iconic characters from the original story, the higher the quality of the fragments.

Outside Holy Soul Village, on the small hillside where Tang San cultivated.

Picked up Xuantian Gong Fragment and Purple Demon Eye Fragment.

Ran into Tang Hao teaching Tang San blacksmithing techniques.

Picked up Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique Fragment.

Heaven Dou City, Spirit Hall, Slaughter City, Sea God Island, Star Dou Great Forest...

Picked up Sword Heart Clarity Fragment.

Picked up Ultimate Light Attribute Fragment.

Picked up Asura Demon Sword Fragment.

A certain Saintess of Spirit Hall: "Bastard! How could that despicable, shameless, filthy scoundrel gain the Angel God's recognition?"

A certain noble young lady of the empire: "Why is my martial soul resonating with his? Could he be the one destined for me?"

Jialing Pass, where the gods were locked in a chaotic battle.

Lu Feng held the Asura Sword in his right hand and carried a trident on his left shoulder. "Little San, my sword is male, while yours is female. So when your sword meets mine, it won't work anymore."

Relying on the fragments he picked up, Lu Feng grew stronger and stronger. With one punch, he shattered cities; with one sword, he split the heavens. In the end, he truly transcended the mundane.

Is It Because You're Not Working Hard Enough?

Douluo Continent, southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire, Fasno Province, Holy Soul Village.

Dawn had just begun to break. On a small hill over a hundred meters tall, Tang San sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes fixed on the gradually brightening sliver of white in the east.

After sitting quietly for a while, Tang San helplessly shook his head and gave a bitter smile. "Still no good. My Mysterious Heaven Skill still can't break through the bottleneck of the first level. It has already been three whole months. Why?"

"Sometimes, you should look for the problem in yourself. Maybe you're not working hard enough?"

At that moment, a clear voice rang out from behind Tang San.

"Who's there?!"

Tang San's body jolted. He instinctively raised his right hand, and a small arrowhead shot backward.

This place was several miles away from the village. Ordinary villagers would not come here. He had chosen to cultivate here precisely to avoid being discovered.

The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record was his greatest secret!

Clang!

A crisp metallic collision rang out.

Tang San turned around and saw a young boy looking at him with a faint smile. The boy had delicate features and looked to be six or seven years old, yet he was a full head taller than Tang San.

At that moment, the boy held a firewood chopper in his right hand, with a longbow slung over his left shoulder. The sack on his back was still dripping blood.

"Lu Feng? What are you doing here?" Tang San watched the boy before him warily.

Lu Feng was from the same village as him and was two months older. He had been adopted by the village's old hunter.

Last autumn, the old hunter had gone into the mountains to hunt and never returned. Neither dead nor alive, he had vanished without a trace. Since then, Lu Feng had lived alone.

Though young, Lu Feng's hunting skills were quite impressive.

Every time he entered the mountains, he always returned with a full haul. Whenever he had extra prey, he would share it with villagers in need. Even Tang San's father had praised him several times.

Looking at the arrowhead broken into two pieces not far away, Tang San's pupils involuntarily constricted.

The Sleeve Arrow was currently his strongest trump card, yet Lu Feng had neutralized it so easily?

Tang San stroked his right wrist, his expression shifting uncertainly.

What was a hidden weapon? A special weapon used in secret to defeat enemies was a hidden weapon. If the enemy already knew you were going to use it, then it was no longer a hidden weapon, but an open weapon.

Thud.

Lu Feng dropped the sack onto the ground with a dull sound.

Seeing Tang San's tense expression, Lu Feng teased, "Hmph, you still have the nerve to ask? The arrowheads your father made for me weren't made with cut corners, were they?"

As he spoke, Lu Feng untied the sack and pulled out several broken arrows.

"This time, I ran into a real big one. If my hunting skills hadn't been good enough, I probably wouldn't have made it back."

Lu Feng took out an arrowhead. It was still stained with blood, but its tip had been ground flat. It had clearly struck some hard bone but failed to penetrate it.

Seeing this, Tang San's face reddened slightly. He quietly tugged at his sleeve and covered his wrist.

This batch of arrowheads for Lu Feng had actually been made by Tang San. In order to save some materials for making hidden weapons, he had indeed been a little more "frugal" than usual.

Now that the client had come knocking, Tang San was clearly not ready to explain himself.

"No, I haven't even held Lu Feng accountable for spying on me yet!"

Thinking of this, Tang San stared coldly at Lu Feng and said, "I'll talk to my father about the arrowheads when I get back. What did you mean by what you just said?"

There really was a problem with his cultivation, but it was not something a country bumpkin could casually judge.

Moreover, in the Tang Sect of his previous life, spying on someone else's cultivation was a grave taboo!

If Lu Feng had discovered anything, Tang San would risk his life to keep him here!

Perhaps failing to see through Tang San's thoughts, Lu Feng crossed his arms and looked down at him disdainfully. "Tang San, you're cultivating some kind of meditation technique, aren't you?"

Without waiting for Tang San to answer, Lu Feng continued, "When I go to the city to trade goods, I've heard those Lord Soul Masters say that the path of cultivation values persistence."

"Now look at yourself. If we weren't from the same village, I wouldn't even bother telling you this!"

"You don't cultivate on cloudy days, and you don't cultivate on rainy days either!"

"You don't cultivate at noon, and you don't cultivate at night either!"

"When I'm hunting, I often see you come out to train, but you want to break through by cultivating for only this little while in the morning?"

There were some things Lu Feng did not say aloud.

Little bro, if you don't cultivate diligently, it'll be hard for your big brother to pick up fragments!

Like Tang San, Lu Feng was also a transmigrator.

And he had his own cheat ability.

From the moment he opened his eyes, Lu Feng had discovered that he could see some strange and bizarre things. At the time, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him or that he had some kind of eye disease.

However, after coming into contact with those light clusters, he discovered that he had gained some special abilities.

Playing in the fields, picked up White Skill Farming Fragment ×1 (1/10) On the road, picked up White Item Gold Soul Coin Fragment ×1 (1/10) Observing the stars at night, picked up Yellow Attribute Spiritual Power Fragment ×1 (1/10)

There were many types of fragments, such as items, skills, attributes, cultivation techniques, and so on.

Ten fragments could be fused into a complete item.

Moreover, unwanted fragments could be broken down into light points to upgrade fragments of the same type.

Lu Feng's yellow skill, Hunting, had been created after he spent several years picking up skill fragments, breaking them down into light points, and then upgrading it.

Naturally, fragments also had ranks. From low to high, they were: white, yellow, purple, and black.

As for whether there were higher ranks beyond those, Lu Feng did not know. Among the fragments he had picked up so far, black was the highest rank.

Black Cultivation Technique: Mysterious Heaven Skill (9/10) Black Cultivation Technique: Purple Demon Eye (6/10) Purple Cultivation Technique: Ghost Shadow Trace (3/10) Purple Cultivation Technique: Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon (3/10) Purple Cultivation Technique: Mysterious Jade Hand (2/10) Purple Cultivation Technique: Hundred Forms of Hidden Weapons (1/10)

Using the excuse of helping poor households and making arrowheads, Lu Feng had gone to Tang San's house quite a few times. These fragments had all dropped after Tang San cultivated.

Yet even after spending nearly a year, he had not fused a single complete cultivation technique.

At this thought, Lu Feng looked at Tang San with a hint of frustration at his failure to live up to expectations.

After hearing Lu Feng's words, Tang San unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

Good thing he didn't notice anything. He only guessed that I was cultivating.

Thinking of how Lu Feng ordered a large batch of arrowheads from his family every month, coupled with how he occasionally gifted them prey, the frost on Tang San's face slowly faded and was replaced by the innocence of a child.

"Lu Feng, what prey did you catch this time? Is there any extra? Give me a few, and I'll count it toward the cost of making your next batch of arrowheads."

Tang San looked curiously at the sack beside Lu Feng.

Lu Feng had noticed all of Tang San's little movements. Seeing Tang San playing dumb again, Lu Feng sighed inwardly. Looks like I didn't meet Manga Brother San, but the Tang Buddha from the novel.

"Hmph, I suppose I got lucky. I ran into a big mountain boar."

After speaking, Lu Feng took out a front leg from the sack and tossed it to Tang San.

Tang San caught the pig leg, but its weight nearly made him fall straight to the ground.

"Tang San, hunting that wild boar took quite a bit of effort. In a few days, I'll definitely demand an explanation from your father about those arrowheads!" Lu Feng said, pretending to be angry.

According to the original story, after Tang San awakened his martial soul, Tang Hao would teach him a few blacksmithing techniques.

If he was lucky, perhaps he would gain an unexpected harvest!

Cough, cough. Tang San coughed lightly. "I still need to go home and make breakfast for my father. I'll be leaving first."

With that, Tang San dragged the pig leg and headed home, stopping every few steps.

Lu Feng snorted as he watched Tang San's staggering back. Just as he was about to leave, a cluster of black light dropped from where Tang San had been cultivating.

"Eh! This is..."

The internal submission has passed. Please keep reading and vote.

"Xuantian Gong" Fused!

Picked up Black Cultivation Technique Xuantian Gong Fragment ×1 Black Cultivation Technique: Xuantian Gong (10/10) (Can be fused)

"Damn, I finally collected them all!"

Lu Feng fused them impatiently and instantly felt a streak of black light imprint itself into his mind.

However, this was not a good place to study a cultivation technique.

Lu Feng vigilantly looked around, then hoisted the sack and rushed home with long strides, moving as swiftly as the wind!

"Little Feng, you're back? You've been in the mountains for three days straight. You must be exhausted. Come have breakfast at your uncle's house."

"Thanks, Uncle, but I still need to deal with the prey. Next time, for sure."

"Brother Feng, Brother Feng! Yesterday, Wang Ergou from Di Hun Village came to play in our village. He actually dared to step forward with his left foot first, so we gave him a good beating."

"Hahaha, well done, Little Tiger. Next time, I'll continue telling you the story of Gray Douluo reigning supreme through eternity and battling the Six Great Sheep Saints."

Creak!
