"You're saying I don't have a Martial Soul?" Chen Yuan grabbed the Spirit Hall deacon by the collar and demanded viciously.

"Let go." Chen Dong waved his hand, sending Chen Yuan flying with a surge of Soul Power.

"Chen the Trash, you don't even have a Martial Soul, yet you dare act up in front of me? You're courting death."

"Pah." Chen Yuan spat out the foxtail grass and slapped the ground hard.

I can't accept this.

He had come to the Douluo World years ago and attended the Spirit Hall's test every year, but he had never managed to awaken a Martial Soul.

Am I, Chen Yuan, doomed to be trash until the day I die?

I can't accept this.

"Hahahaha, Chen the Trash, you'd better hurry up and take your hoe to the fields," a villager mocked.

Chen Yuan was so angry his lungs nearly burst. He snatched a stone off the ground and hurled it at the villager.

Wang Ziqiang used his Soul Power to block the stone and said proudly, "See that? This is called Soul Power."

"Chen the Trash, you have no Martial Soul and no Soul Power. You can't understand our power."

"Just you wait." Chen Yuan gritted his teeth. He knew that if he stayed any longer, he would only be asking for trouble.

Hadn't he been bullied enough over the years?

His only skill was swinging a hoe and tending his fields well. Each year, his crops grew stronger than other people's, yielding good harvests that sold for a decent sum.

He returned to his tiled-roof house.

He plopped down on the bed, unable to make sense of it. Other people transmigrated and got all sorts of precious Martial Souls, but what about him? He didn't have a single one.

Never mind twin Martial Souls-even an ordinary one would have been fine.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host on transmigrating to the Douluo World."

"The ultimate choice of five out of seven!"

"1: Become a god in ten days."

"2: Twelve Talismans."

"3: Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."

"4: Impure World Reincarnation."

"5: Azure Dragon Martial Soul."

"6: Yin-Yang Finger."

"7: Superman's Kryptonian Body."

Huh?

Chen Yuan was stunned. Become a god in ten days?

Is this for real?

He bit his lip. It was real.

The system is here! My golden finger is here! Ahahahaha!

All of you who looked down on me and called me Chen the Trash every day, just you wait!

Damn it.

I couldn't beat you before, and you bullied me to death every day, calling me Chen the Trash at every turn.

Now it's my turn, isn't it?

"The Twelve Talismans supposedly possess twelve different powers." He looked farther down the list, growing more excited as he read.

The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was a cursed power that could unleash all manner of terrifying Dōjutsu.

"I choose!"

"12347!"

Even without a Martial Soul, I'm still a god.

"Congratulations to the host on making your choice."

"Only two of the Twelve Talismans may be selected per day. Please make your selection, host."

Twelve Talismans materialized.

The Ox Talisman for strength, the Snake Talisman for invisibility...

Just as he was considering which to choose,

a huge fissure suddenly opened in the heavens.

Rumble!! With a tremendous explosion, an infinitely large screen appeared.

Chen Yuan walked outside and looked up at the screen. A line of text abruptly appeared on its black surface.

"Sky screen exposure!"

"Chen Yuan will become a god in ten days!"

"Anyone who kills Chen Yuan within ten days can become a god on the spot!"

The screen scrolled, then showed Chen Yuan's dumbstruck expression.

"What? That's me?" Chen Yuan was flabbergasted. He confirmed it once more: he had been exposed by the sky screen.

He had only just thought he was about to soar.

The moment the sky screen exposed him, his hair stood on end and he was scared witless. Kill me, and anyone can become a god?

Won't everyone under heaven come to kill me?

Public enemy number one!

"You fucking moron XX!" he cursed furiously.

You could've waited ten days before announcing it!

The villagers all looked up at the screen. Just as they were wondering why Chen Yuan's name sounded familiar, a live video appeared on the screen, showing Chen Yuan hopping mad and cursing.

"Chen the Trash! He's going to become a god in ten days?!"

Was it true?

None of them could quite believe it.

After all, they had known Chen the Trash for many years.

"Him, become a god? He can dream. He's trash who doesn't even have a Martial Soul," Wang Wu said.

"Hmph, whether it's true or not, killing him can make me a god. I, Zhang Kaifang, am doing it!" Zhang Kaifang said viciously.

He watched the live video on the sky screen and saw Chen Yuan still standing there cursing. He grinned savagely.

"A wonderful thing like becoming a god in ten days actually fell into Chen the Trash's lap."

"Come on, he's at home. Let's go kill him now, and we'll be the ones who become gods!"

"Right."

Zhang Kaifang, Wang Wu, Lin Qilin, and the others all ran toward Chen Yuan.

Chen Dong flew even faster.

Everyone was racing to be the first to kill Chen Yuan and become a god on the spot.

Chen Dong cried out in delight, "Heaven is truly on my side."

"Chen the Trash doesn't have a shred of Soul Power. In the whole village, my Soul Power is the strongest."

"You can stay behind me and watch obediently as I become a god."

"I'll surpass Bibi Dong and become the first man to become a god."

"Hahahaha~"

He laughed as he flew, imagining himself becoming a new god.

From a distance, Chen Yuan spotted Chen Dong laughing wildly, with a dense crowd of hostile villagers behind him.

The villagers' eyes were red as they roared, "Chen the Trash, don't move! Be good and let me kill you!"

"Kill me?" Chen Yuan jolted.

He came to his senses.

He was public enemy number one now.

"Hmph."

"I choose the Dog Talisman [immortality] and the Snake Talisman [invisibility]!"

Two glowing Talismans appeared before him, bearing the markings of a dog's head and a snake. They then merged into his body.

He had gained the power of immortality! The power of invisibility!

"Invisibility!"

Chen Yuan sneered. I'm invisible. Which of you can find me now?

His body suddenly vanished.

"??" Chen Dong, who was flying toward him, was dumbfounded. Chen Yuan, who had been there a moment ago, was gone.

"Where is he?!"

He grew frantic and looked around, but couldn't find the slightest trace of Chen Yuan.

Impossible.

How could a living person that big, someone without even a trace of Soul Power, escape right under his nose?

He rushed into the tiled-roof house, but saw no one.

He wasn't outside, either.

Red-eyed, Zhang Kaifang, Wang Wu, Lin Qilin, and the others swarmed over, shouting, "Chen the Trash is mine!"

"Deacon, where is he?! You didn't kill him, did you?!" Wang Wu demanded. After rushing over, they had found that Chen Yuan was nowhere to be seen, and they looked at Chen Dong suspiciously.

Chen Dong couldn't be bothered with the red-eyed crowd. He turned and began searching the surrounding area.

He must still be nearby. I have to find him. This is the only way to become a god quickly.

"Everyone, hurry and search!"

"Whoever finds him first gets him."

"Whoever kills Chen Yuan first will be the first to become a god!"

Someone shouted this in excitement, and everyone began searching madly for Chen Yuan.

"Go on, search, you idiots. I have invisibility. Let's see which of you can find me." Although Chen Yuan walked slowly, his invisibility let him slip right past the villagers without being noticed.

He watched two villagers hurry past him, gave them a disdainful glance, and inwardly called them a pair of fools.

I'm right beside you. See how much of my old self you recognize now?

I can only claim two of the Twelve Talismans each day. Tomorrow, I'll claim two more and show you.
