Douluo: My Custom Achievement System

After learning about Jiang Nannan's Soul Ring, She Fei gave Li Lingyu a long look. He did nothing more, simply turning around and leaving.

Back at the military camp, She Fei sank into thought.

He couldn't understand why a powerhouse like Li Lingyu would take Jiang Yi as his disciple.

"Could he be plotting something else? But what could he possibly want from a Soul Master with no background and such terrible talent?"

For the moment, he couldn't think of an answer, so he could only order his subordinates to investigate Li Lingyu.

He hoped to learn about Li Lingyu's background before guessing at his motive.

Although Li Lingyu had shown She Fei the door without ceremony, She Fei hadn't stopped supporting Jiang Nannan and Jiang Yi.

After all, there was no conflict between She Fei and the two of them. As long as he continued supporting them, Jiang Nannan and Jiang Yi would owe him a favor and would surely repay him in the future.

There was no need for him to create a rift with Jiang Yi and Jiang Nannan over his unpleasant encounter with Li Lingyu.

The peaceful days of cultivation flew by, and in the blink of an eye, nearly three more months had passed.

Early one morning, just as the sun rose, Jiang Yi arrived at the academy's back mountain.

Jiang Yi made his way to the center of the Blue Silver Grass meadow with practiced ease, anticipation written across his face.

After cultivating for so long, his Soul Power had finally reached level 0.9-or, to be precise, 0.99.

He was just one step away from breaking through to level one.

Level one Soul Power might not mean much to other Soul Masters, but it had taken him nearly six months to reach it.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he once again connected his Blue Silver Grass to the others.

A vast amount of Heaven and Earth Origin Energy was drawn in by the Blue Silver Grass, and Group Photosynthesis poured Soul Power into his body.

Chapter 21: Wall Breaker o Pseudo, Human-Shaped Furnace

A vast amount of Heaven and Earth Origin Energy suddenly surged into his body, making Jiang Yi shudder before he calmed down again in an instant.

Soul Power body tempering and those achievements had long since made his meridians wide and resilient. Withstanding this amount of Heaven and Earth Origin Energy was no longer difficult for him.

As Heaven and Earth Origin Energy entered his body, Jiang Yi began refining it with all his might.

Heaven and Earth Origin Energy flowed like a trickling stream, refined into Soul Power that ultimately gathered in his dantian.

Jiang Yi had already been only half a step from level one. At last, he poked through that paper window, and the breakthrough to level one came as naturally as water flowing into a channel.

Before Jiang Yi could celebrate, an icy notification sounded in his mind. At the same time, a bronze light flashed before his eyes.

"Host's Soul Power breakthrough to level one detected. Achievement obtained."

"Achievement name: Wall Breaker o Pseudo (Soul Power breakthrough past the critical threshold detected. Successfully advanced from a Soul Master in the theoretical sense to a Soul Master in the statistical sense.)"

"Achievement rewards: Soul Power purity increased by 20%; cultivation speed increased by 20%."

"Limited title obtained: 'Guardian of One.' While you possess this title, you have a certain chance of retaining one level of Soul Power and physical strength when faced with any weakening or zeroing negative effects."

Looking at the panel that appeared in his mind, Jiang Yi was surprised.

This was completely different from the achievements he had obtained before.

Bronze achievements? Could there be silver and gold achievements too?

Looking at Wall Breaker o Pseudo, which glowed with a bronze light, Jiang Yi couldn't help thinking.

If there's a pseudo one, is there a real one too? And how would I obtain the real one?

And the rewards from this bronze achievement are far too generous. They're much better than the ones I got before.

The bronze achievement had given him two rewards at once, as well as a limited title.

If silver and gold achievements really existed, what kind of rewards would they give?

After refining some of the Soul Power in his body, Jiang Yi opened his eyes.

I've finally broken through to level one. This is only the first step. I'll definitely become stronger in the future, Jiang Yi thought silently as he gazed at the Blue Silver Grass covering the mountains and fields.

After the breakthrough, Jiang Yi's life didn't change at all. After all, he had only broken through to level one, not become a Titled Douluo.

Just like that, time flew by like a white steed glimpsed through a crack. A year had passed since Jiang Yi awakened his Martial Soul and began cultivating.

It was then that Jiang Yi obtained another achievement after a long wait.

"Requirement: With Soul Power below level ten, refine Heaven and Earth Origin Energy close to the human body's limit more than fifty times."

"Achievement name: Human Body Furnace (A cup of water presumes to hold an entire river. Is this overestimating oneself, or a reckless gamble?)"

"Achievement rewards: Capacity for energy above one's own level increased by 10%, and refining efficiency increased by 10%."

Obtaining this achievement filled Jiang Yi with delight beyond his expectations.

This achievement raised his advantage another notch.

The increase in capacity and refining efficiency gave his cultivation efficiency a truly major boost.

With this achievement adding wings to a tiger, Jiang Yi's cultivation speed advanced a thousand miles a day compared to before.

Cultivating at this speed, he spent more than three further years.

In those three-plus years, Jiang Yi's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, rising straight from level one to level nine.

An increase of more than 2.6 levels of Soul Power a year was simply a tale from the Arabian Nights to others with level 0.1 Innate Soul Power.

At Lingshan Junior Academy, many Soul Masters with level three or even level five Innate Soul Power had gained less Soul Power in three years than he had.

During those three years, he had naturally obtained new achievements as well, but far fewer than before.

Jiang Yi thought this was most likely because he had spent all his time cultivating.

He had already obtained many cultivation-related achievements, so it was difficult to keep obtaining new ones frequently.

Under these circumstances, he obtained a total of nine achievements over three years of cultivation.

Only one of them was worth mentioning. The other eight increased his physical strength and cultivation speed, but their rewards weren't particularly generous.

"Requirement: Accumulate five thousand hours of effective cultivation time."

"Achievement name: Yu Gong's Accumulation (While others shine, you accumulate. When others fall, ...you are still accumulating.)"

"Achievement reward: Soul Power recovery speed increased by 25%."

This achievement reward greatly improved Jiang Yi's endurance.

His endurance had already been strong, and with the aid of multiple achievements, the Soul Power he cultivated was exceptionally pure.

The increased recovery speed added wings to the tiger.

Jiang Yi had made enormous progress over those three years.

Naturally, Jiang Nannan hadn't fallen behind either. In just over three years, she had broken through to level twenty-four.

There were reasons she had been able to increase her Soul Power so much in just over three years.

First, the age of the First Soul Ring she had absorbed was close to her limit. Besides granting her a Soul Ring, it had also brought her Soul Power to level twelve.

Second, after absorbing her First Soul Ring, Jiang Nannan discovered that she cultivated faster under moonlight.

Then there was her Second Soul Ring, which she had absorbed from a seven-hundred-year-old Luminous Deer.

The Luminous Deer was a lower-order Soul Beast than the Mystic Moon Deer. It could absorb moonlight to cultivate and was also extremely swift.

It couldn't use moonlight to attack or possess the powers of space and healing like the Mystic Moon Deer.

Even so, it was very well suited to be Jiang Nannan's Second Soul Ring.

Most importantly, this Soul Ring also came from a Soul Beast of the same origin as the Soft Bone Rabbit.

The Soul Skill she obtained could even be called a divine skill. Once activated, it instantly increased Jiang Nannan's speed by 50%.

While moving at high speed, she could leave three afterimages in places where she stopped.

At that point, her figure would vanish, hidden among the three afterimages.

Before the afterimages disappeared, she could move between them, shifting her position.

Each time she moved, an afterimage would vanish immediately, and she would consume a large amount of Soul Power.

After she absorbed Soul Rings from Soul Beasts of the same origin for both her First and Second Soul Rings, the Soul Skills she obtained both had spatial properties.

Without a doubt, this once again proved how greatly Soul Beasts of the same origin benefited Soul Masters.

Li Lingyu remained excited about this for a long time. He could almost see the day when Jiang Nannan's bloodline fully awakened.

Every one of these factors was indispensable to her reaching level twenty-four at the age of ten.

Spring came again, and Lingshan Junior Academy welcomed another start to the school year.

Jiang Yi and Jiang Nannan also began their final semester at Lingshan Junior Academy.

Ordinary Soul Masters graduated from junior academy at eleven and went on to study at an intermediate Soul Master Academy.

Chapter 22: Against a Soul Master (Please Keep Reading!)

At the gates of Lingshan Junior Academy, students were returning after the holiday.

Some parents had also brought their children, whose Martial Souls had just awakened, to complete their enrollment.

Suddenly, something in one direction caught the attention of the bustling crowd.

Not far away, a young man and woman were walking toward the academy gates, chatting and laughing.

The boy was dressed in black and looked about ten years old. His figure was well-proportioned and slender, yet every movement carried a sense of strength.

Of course, that wasn't why he drew everyone's attention.

The main reason was his appearance. His fair skin glowed in the sunlight, and his medium-length black hair curved in a casual sweep in the breeze.

His smiling eyes were like amber washed in morning dew. Yet his handsome face didn't seem removed from the mortal world; instead, he had an approachable quality that kept anyone from feeling jealous.

Walking between heaven and earth, he seemed to be one with nature, radiating vitality.

His female companion was no less impressive in either appearance or bearing. Her exquisite face held people's gazes.

Walking together, they made people marvel that they were a match made in heaven.

Who else but Jiang Yi and Jiang Nannan could be such figures appearing together in little Spirit Mountain City?

The two had long grown accustomed to being watched. Ignoring the stares, they walked straight through the academy gates.

They didn't go to class. A year ago, they had stopped cultivating with the other students at the academy and had mostly cultivated under Li Lingyu instead.

When they arrived at the back mountain, they found Li Lingyu already waiting.

"Nannan, go over there and begin today's cultivation," Li Lingyu said to Jiang Nannan first.

Jiang Nannan had studied under Li Lingyu for so long that, although she had never formally become his disciple, they had long since been master and disciple in all but name.

Naturally, Jiang Nannan obeyed Li Lingyu and went to the side to begin cultivating.

"Little Yi, now that the holiday has passed, you've broken through to level nine, haven't you?" Li Lingyu asked with a faint smile.

He had long since grown accustomed to Jiang Yi's Soul Power increasing.

"That's right. I broke through to level nine not long ago."

"Teacher, you kept me here alone. Have you arranged some special training for me?"

Li Lingyu's unusual behavior had prompted Jiang Yi's guess.

"Clever."

"I've watched your progress over the years. With your Innate Soul Power of level 0.1, your Soul Power has advanced remarkably quickly, and your physical condition has improved just as fast."

"But there's one area where you're still lacking: actual combat. Whether a Soul Master or a Soul Engineer is powerful ultimately has to be demonstrated in battle."

Jiang Yi nodded in agreement. The Douluo Continent was still relatively peaceful now, but in a few years, the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult would start a war on the Douluo Continent.

When that time came, he would need enough strength to protect himself and the people he cared about.

"I've found you a sparring partner. He just obtained his First Soul Ring, and as it happens, he's also one of your classmates."

"One of my classmates?" Jiang Yi was stunned. Had someone in his class besides Jiang Nannan obtained their First Soul Ring?

"Come with me." Li Lingyu's eyes were full of amusement.
