"A golden carp is no ordinary fish; it transforms into a dragon once it encounters Wind and Cloud!"

In the world of Wind and Cloud, a man dressed as a scholar staggered down a mountain path.

Although it was called walking, each step was like teleportation, and in no time they had slipped from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain.

" The Spiritual Energy in this Wind and Cloud World is truly abundant. No wonder it's a high-level martial arts world; it's no wonder it has creatures like dragons, Qilin, and qilin."

As Xu Xiao walked, he sighed with emotion:

"I've never seen mythical creatures like dragons, Qilin, and qilins, even after traveling through so many worlds. This time, I'm determined to take a good look at them."

"I just don't know if this can be farmed on a large scale, and what it tastes like."

Xu Xiao's purpose in traveling to the Wind and Cloud World was to search for traces of the Dragon, Qilin, and Qilin, and secondly, to take advantage of the unique nature of this world to meet those legendary beings.

Many people think that Wind and Cloud is just a simple martial arts world, and the strongest are just a few guys who drank the essence of the Four Sacred Beasts, such as Xiao Sanxiao, Di Shitian, and Jia Long'er.

Actually, that's not the case!

The world of Wind and Cloud is no ordinary world. In terms of background, it is a world created by the powerful Nüwa, and it is also watched over by beings Mahavairocana.

The reason Xu Xiao didn't immediately seek out the Qilin and the Azure Dragon was because he was afraid of exposing himself right away.

"But I wonder what kind of beings Nüwa Tathagata are in this world."

"Is it a projection of a powerful being like Guangchengzi from the Great Tang Twin Dragons World, or is it simply an existence with the same name?"

Thinking about the details of the Wind and Cloud comic, although we can't rely entirely on the plot development, we can deduce from some Silk that Wind and Cloud is definitely a world with unfathomable depths.

Legends like Pangu creating the world Goddess Nüwa creating humans are ingrained in Xu Xiao's very being, and he dared not underestimate these legendary figures he had heard about since childhood.

"Ideally, we should rely on the protagonist's Wind and Cloud or other supporting characters. These people are key figures in the world's evolution and their identities won't be easily exposed."

"I can remain hidden in the shadows, slowly manipulating these figures and, incidentally, probing the true nature of these great beings."

Although Xu Xiao had met the First Firmament, the Creator God of the Marvel Universe, his fear of those legendary figures from his childhood was even deeper.

To be honest, even Xu Xiao, who can now draw upon the World Power to contend with the Creator God, is not confident in defeating Guangchengzi he only briefly glimpsed in the Great Tang Twin Dragons World.

That mysterious and vast aura surpasses even the First Firmament.

"However, one day I will definitely reach that level, to discuss and strategize with you all, and even surpass you all."

Xu Xiao is full of confidence, and this is his biggest pursuit now.

What could be more captivating than a legend? The answer is becoming a legend yourself!

"However, for now, it's best to keep a low profile, find a way to get close to the chosen one of this world, and then slowly make plans."

Xu Xiao's goal was simply to understand the ins and outs of the Wind and Cloud World, not to get involved himself.

At most, it would reveal a little bit of power or information, slightly altering the plot of Wind and Cloud to make it easier for him to Torifu.

He could watch the other grudges and entanglements of the Wind and Cloud tyrants as entertainment if he happened to come across them, but if he didn't, he wouldn't bother with them.

He walked slowly along the official road, keeping his Divine Sense within a suitable range.

It covers a radius of a hundred miles, but doesn't ostentatiously cover the entire Central Plains, so that some people will notice it, and it won't completely pretend to be an ordinary person and follow the crowd.

Soon, Xu Xiao followed the official road forward, constantly using his Divine Sense to scan the conversations of passersby and correct his trajectory, until he arrived at the Tianxia Society.

At this time, the Tianxia Society was just beginning for Xiongba. Although he had gained the Wind and Cloud, he was still a child and not yet the two rising stars of the martial arts world.

Xu Xiao did not enter the city, but instead used his Divine Sense to explore and search the buildings of the Tianxia Society.

He quickly identified the main characters by observing their clothing and conversations among the members of the Tianxia Society.

Xiongba, Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, and Duan Lang.

These four were the only ones Xu Xiao could think highly of; the rest were second-rate.

Inside the Tianxia Society, Xiongba was deep in thought about the next steps for the Tianxia Society's development, while Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, as the leader's disciples, were practicing martial arts in the backyard.

Duan Lang, who would later become a major villain, was at this moment still a servant in the World Society.

"Back in the early days of Wind and Cloud, when even Duan Lang was still a servant, many things were much easier to interfere with."

Xu Xiao rubbed his chin, then gently invaded Duan Lang's mind with his Divine Sense.

[ The Myriad Worlds Martial Arts System is being bound.]

"Who!!"

While sweeping the Duan Lang, Duan Lang suddenly heard a voice in his mind, which startled him into a panic.

"What are you yelling about, Duan Lang? I just asked you to sweep the floor, why are you making such a fuss?"

The foreman, who was directing the workers nearby, was also startled by Duan Lang's loud shout.

"I... I'm in charge. I heard someone call me, so I answered."

"Call? Who would call you? Get back to sweeping the floor right now, and after you're done, you also need to refill the water tank in the kitchen, or you're not allowed to eat."

The steward glanced at Duan Lang, then cursed and went back to his own business.

Duan Lang's young face showed some surprise and uncertainty, but he was still quite intelligent and didn't mention the strange things in his mind, instead attributing it to auditory hallucinations.

I just got scolded, it's nothing serious.

The reason Duan Lang didn't speak was because, just as the steward turned his head, a voice rang in his mind again.

[ The Myriad Worlds Martial Arts System is now bound; Host: Duan Lang ]

It was this one sound that made Duan Lang immediately change his story, attributing everything to auditory hallucination.

'So it wasn't a hallucination!'

Duan Lang was absolutely certain that this was not a hallucination; otherwise, the steward and the surrounding servants would have heard such a loud noise.

'But what exactly is this system? The Multiverse Martial Arts Tournament? Can I learn martial arts here?'

'But I possess family martial arts skills. Is there any martial art stronger than my father's or the gang leader's?'

Young Duan Lang was a Xiongba fan of Xiong Ba. Having witnessed Xiongba's skills in Lingyun Cave, he firmly believed that Xiong Ba was even more powerful than his father, Duan Shuai.

He longed to become the other's disciple, but because he lacked the prophecy of the two characters "Wind and Cloud," he could only start as a servant.

However, the young Duan Lang refused to admit defeat. Even as a servant, he diligently practiced martial arts every day to hone his skills and seized every opportunity to climb the ranks.

At this moment, the young Duan Lang has obtained the system, unaware that his fate will undergo a drastic change from its original trajectory.
