Douluo: My Custom Achievement System

A crisp shattering sound suddenly rang out, like a pane of glass breaking.

The sound came from within Jiang Yi's body and echoed through it again and again.

Even Li Lingyu heard the crisp sound clearly.

"He did it!" Li Lingyu's face was full of excitement.

His disciple, whose Innate Soul Power was 0.1, had broken through the bottleneck at rank ten through his own efforts!

Jiang Yi felt his dantian empty, and an unbreakable shackle finally shattered.

The bottleneck had been broken. Jiang Yi's Soul Power, which had been suppressed for a whole year, gushed forth like water from a newly dug spring.

Before he fully broke through to rank ten, a cold voice sounded in his mind.

After his breakthrough, another cold voice followed.

"I finally broke through to rank ten."

Jiang Yi, who had been concentrating intensely, felt the Soul Power surging wildly inside him and could finally relax.

Pain and exhaustion swept over his body. Before Jiang Yi could take stock of the changes in his body, his vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Little Yi!" Li Lingyu turned into a gust of wind and arrived at Jiang Yi's side in an instant, intending to treat him in time.

But a strange sight made Li Lingyu stop in his tracks.

The surrounding Blue Silver Grass surged toward Jiang Yi of its own accord, completely wrapping his body and releasing powerful vitality to heal him.

"This!" Li Lingyu's eyes widened in astonishment.

Blue Silver Grass was a type of Soul Beast found all across the continent. There was no telling how many times more of it there was than stray dogs by the roadside.

The chances of this kind of Soul Beast possessing intelligence were exceedingly slim.

For it to heal a human of its own accord, as it was doing before his eyes, was simply impossible.

Could Little Yi's Martial Soul contain the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline, attracting this Blue Silver Grass and causing it to protect him on its own?

But there were no signs of a bloodline awakening in Little Yi. Could this be another Martial Soul Mutation?

With the help of the Blue Silver Grass, Jiang Yi's injuries had stabilized and were improving, and Li Lingyu could not help pondering the matter.

What he failed to notice was that, under the covering of Blue Silver Grass, the Blue Silver Grass in Jiang Yi's hand was also undergoing a faint yet unmistakable change.

In the tidy room, every piece of furniture was neatly arranged, making the sight a pleasure.

The warm yellow lamplight cast the pure white quilt in the same warm hue, a stark contrast to the world of ice and snow outside.

Jiang Yi lay on the bed, his sleeping face peaceful, his hair neatly combed, and the blood and grime long since wiped away.

Looking at him, one would think he was simply asleep, not gravely injured and unconscious.

"Teacher Li, how come you were gone for so long, and Little Yi was hurt again as soon as you came back?" Aunt Rou's voice carried a note of displeasure.

Anyone who had not seen their child for so long, only to find him injured and unconscious upon returning, could not help feeling displeased.

"I'm truly sorry. I'm an incapable teacher, and that's why Little Yi had to risk breaking through on his own."

Faced with Aunt Rou's displeasure, Li Lingyu apologized guiltily.

Jiang Yi was his disciple. If there had been an easier way to break through, he certainly would not have wanted Jiang Yi to take the risk either.

Li Lingyu's sincere apology dispelled Aunt Rou's anger at once.

She was not an unreasonable person; she had only reacted that way because she cared for Jiang Yi.

The two soon came to an understanding and were on good terms again.

Just then, Jiang Yi's eyelids fluttered slightly. He struggled to open his eyes and gazed somewhat blankly at the warm yellow light.

His memories stopped at the moment he had successfully broken through.

All this time, his consciousness had been lost in chaos, and he remembered nothing.

Feeling the Soul Power inside him, Jiang Yi looked pleasantly surprised.

My total Soul Power has already reached rank thirteen. As soon as I have a Soul Ring, I can break through immediately.

There seem to be changes elsewhere too. When I passed out, I think there were other voices in my head.

For something as momentous as his breakthrough to rank ten, the Custom Achievement System would definitely grant him an achievement.

Realizing this, Jiang Yi immediately checked the Custom Achievement System.

Sure enough, three new achievements had appeared, colored silver, gold, and bronze respectively.

Their contents filled Jiang Yi with delight.

"Host detected to have increased Soul Power by no more than 0.1 ranks in one year. Achievement obtained."

"Achievement name: Eternal Blue Silver Grass (In one year, you failed to increase your Soul Power by even 0.1 ranks, taking 'steadiness' to its utmost limit.)"

"Achievement reward: Blue Silver Grass undergoes a slight evolution."

"Host detected to have broken through to rank ten with Innate Soul Power of rank 0.1. Achievement obtained."

"Achievement name: Wall Breaker o True (As the saying goes, diligence can make up for clumsiness, but yours seems a little too great.)"

"Achievement reward: Innate Soul Power increased by one rank, Soul Power purity permanently increased by thirty percent, Soul Power recovery speed permanently increased by thirty percent."

"Talent obtained: Barrier Destroyer (When facing a bottleneck, your chance of breaking through increases by ten percent.)"

"Silver and gold..." Jiang Yi's eyes widened.

Receiving such generous rewards all at once left even him at a loss.

"Martial Soul Evolution, and an increase of one rank in Innate Soul Power. The rewards I needed most are finally here!"

All along, his extremely low Innate Soul Power of rank 0.1 had caused him all sorts of trouble.

First and foremost was his cultivation speed, slow as a crawling turtle. Without Group Photosynthesis, his Soul Power probably would not have even broken through to rank three by now.

The other problem was the upper limit on his Soul Power imposed by his Innate Soul Power.

Because of the rank-ten limit on his Soul Power, he had been forced to risk his life twice, and the first time he had nearly lost it.

Now that he had received a reward for his Innate Soul Power, this problem would be greatly alleviated in the future.

Chapter 36: Martial Soul Evolution and the Choice of a Soul Ring (Please keep reading!)

The increase in Innate Soul Power came as an enormous surprise to Jiang Yi.

After a while, Jiang Yi calmed down and continued reading. There was still one new achievement he had not looked at.

"Host detected to have spent five years breaking through to rank ten. Achievement obtained."

Oh, five years. Is that because it hasn't been a full six years, so it just counted as five?

Jiang Yi could not help wondering when he saw the requirements.

But his system was called the Custom Achievement System. It would be strange if it did not give him these custom achievements.

Putting these minor details aside, he continued reading.

"Achievement name: Steadiest Soul Master in History (Congratulations to the host on completing your first five-year plan. Your progress could be called 'lightning fast.')"

"Achievement reward: Total Soul Power increased by twenty percent, Soul Power purity increased by twenty percent."

"Title obtained: Heart of Arduous Cultivation. While cultivating, you will receive a twenty percent bonus to your cultivation speed."

"An increase in total Soul Power. Not a bad achievement." Jiang Yi nodded calmly after reading it.

After all, he had just read about a gold achievement that could increase his Innate Soul Power, as well as a silver achievement that caused his Martial Soul to undergo a slight evolution.

This bronze achievement did not seem like much in comparison.

After looking over the achievements he had just obtained, Jiang Yi continued checking his physical condition.

Huh? My injuries aren't that serious. Did something happen while I was unconscious? Or has a long time already passed? Jiang Yi wondered in surprise.

Given the pressure he had endured during his breakthrough, his body should certainly have been covered in wounds, but when he had just checked, he had found no particularly serious injuries.

Jiang Yi opened his eyes and looked at Aunt Rou and Li Lingyu, who were standing nearby.

Asking them would be an easier way to find out what had happened while he was unconscious.

"Aunt Rou, Teacher," Jiang Yi called softly.

At the sound of Jiang Yi's voice, Li Lingyu and Aunt Rou turned to look at him at the same time, their faces lighting up with delight.

A day later, in a patch of Blue Silver Grass not far from Jiang Yi's home.

After waking up yesterday, Jiang Yi had spoken with Li Lingyu about what had happened while he was unconscious.

He learned that after he passed out, the Blue Silver Grass had even offered up its vitality of its own accord to heal his injuries.

He was very surprised by this as well; he had not expected anything like it.

Although Borrow Life and Restore Vitality could help Blue Silver Grass grow, so little time had passed. How could that Blue Silver Grass have developed self-awareness so quickly?

In the end, he attributed it to Martial Soul Evolution.

Standing amid the Blue Silver Grass, Jiang Yi watched a blue light appear in his palm. It seemed no different from before, yet on closer inspection, there appeared to be a difference.

For within the blue light was a trace of gold.

Blue Silver Grass took shape in his palm. The once slender, fragile grass had doubled in thickness, and its blue leaves were more lustrous.

An almost imperceptible line of gold ran along the edges of the Blue Silver Grass leaves.

This was the slight evolution from the achievement reward.

Its appearance had not changed much, but the change it brought Jiang Yi was tremendous.

Even a slight evolution of a Martial Soul improved a Soul Master in every respect.

As for Innate Soul Power, the slight evolution of the Blue Silver Grass had also increased Jiang Yi's.

If he added the one-rank increase in Innate Soul Power from the achievement, his Innate Soul Power could reach approximately rank 1.5.

In other words, the evolution of his Martial Soul had increased his Innate Soul Power by approximately 0.4 ranks.

Besides that, his Martial Soul's flexibility and strength had both improved, allowing the Blue Silver Grass to play a greater role in battle.

As for anything else, Jiang Yi had not noticed it, probably because the degree of evolution was too small.

The reason that Blue Silver Grass offered me its vitality of its own accord was very likely that my Martial Soul was undergoing evolution at the time, Jiang Yi guessed.

Everyone's Martial Soul contained a powerful bloodline, and the Blue Silver Emperor he had seen twice before had also made it clear that his bloodline was that of the Blue Silver Emperor.

When his Martial Soul awakened, it might have stirred the bloodline within it, causing the Blue Silver Grass to offer him its vitality of its own accord.

Looking at the golden lines on his Blue Silver Grass, Jiang Yi slowly sat cross-legged on the ground.

This time, he did not use Grass-Headed Emperor or spiritual power to influence the Blue Silver Grass.

The gold-lined Blue Silver Grass blended in among the others, and they submitted to him of their own accord, because Jiang Yi's Blue Silver Grass was now on an entirely different level of life from them.

Without using Group Photosynthesis, Jiang Yi began cultivating in the normal way.

Heaven and Earth Origin Energy poured into his body and was converted into Soul Power, at a speed dozens of times faster than before.

The increase in Innate Soul Power finally allowed Jiang Yi's achievements that increased cultivation speed to have a major effect.

All at once, his normal cultivation speed increased by dozens of times.

That way, even if he was somewhere without Blue Silver Grass, he could keep his cultivation speed from falling too far behind.

The rewards for breaking through to rank ten could be said to have remade him from the bones up.

After he had worked out what he had gained this time, another week passed.

By then, the injuries Jiang Yi had suffered while breaking through to rank ten had finally healed completely.

With his injuries healed, it was time to consider his choice of First Soul Ring.

He had spent nearly six years on Soul Power Body Tempering and had finished tempering his five internal organs. On top of that, his body had been strengthened by achievement rewards.

His body had long since become capable of absorbing a Soul Ring beyond the usual age limit. With the additional 110-year bonus to his Soul Ring age limit, a thousand-year First Soul Ring was no longer impossible.

He had also given considerable thought to his choice of Soul Ring during this time.
