Douluo: My Custom Achievement System

"Goodbye, Grandpa Village Chief," the two said in unison.

Qiaona left, and Jiang Yi took Jiang Nannan's hand, obediently following Lin Ye.

Led by Lin Ye, the two left the military camp and headed toward the center of Spirit Mountain City.

Along the way, Jiang Nannan curiously observed her surroundings.

Although it was only a small city, it was far more bustling than Azure Village.

Jiang Yi also observed his surroundings, but he seemed much calmer. What he wanted most right now was to find a quiet place to study his system.

Following Lin Ye, the two came upon a small courtyard house of modest size.

"This is a house Lord She Fei purchased in his early years. It's spacious inside, more than enough for you to live in."

Lin Ye opened the gate and led the two into the courtyard.

"It's been vacant for quite some time. Someone will come to clean it later."

"For now, follow me." With that, Lin Ye walked ahead.

They came to an open space in the courtyard, where a large tree stood. Its leaves had withered and turned yellow, and fallen leaves covered the ground beneath it.

Standing amid the fallen leaves, Lin Ye's eyes flashed with cyan light. Cyan fur sprouted continuously from his body, his hands transformed into claws, and cyan light wound around him.

His once well-proportioned body now strained against his clothes.

Jiang Nannan stared wide-eyed at Lin Ye, whose appearance had changed so drastically.

Three Soul Rings, two yellow and one purple, rose behind him.

The first Yellow Soul Ring behind Lin Ye flashed, and cyan light swirled around his claws.

He swept both claws sharply forward, and a fierce wind burst from their tips.

Fallen leaves shot into the sky, revealing a clear patch of ground ahead in an instant.

Not only were there no fallen leaves, there wasn't even a speck of dust.

"You've just awakened your Martial Souls and Soul Power. The most important thing for you to do next is cultivate."

"Lord She instructed me to teach you a meditation cultivation method. Sit cross-legged on the ground, listen carefully to what I say, and try cultivating for the first time," Lin Ye told them.

At the mention of a meditation method, Jiang Yi's eyes immediately lit up.

I wonder if my first cultivation session can trigger an achievement?

At the possibility, Jiang Yi's heart filled with anticipation.

The two went to the space Lin Ye had cleared for them, sat cross-legged on the ground, and looked at him.

Lin Ye immediately began teaching them about the meditation method.

On Douluo Continent, meditation methods had been improved and developed over many years. Not only had their cultivation efficiency improved greatly, they had also become easier to understand.

Jiang Yi had lived two lives, so his comprehension was naturally somewhat greater. He could easily memorize the meditation method.

As for Jiang Nannan, she was truly gifted.

Level eight Innate Soul Power made her one in ten thousand even on the present-day Douluo Continent.

Jiang Yi's eyes flickered. A blue light flashed over his right hand, and a slender stalk of Blue Silver Grass condensed in his palm.

He closed his eyes and sensed the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy filling the air.

Perhaps because he had lived two lives and had stronger spiritual power, he sensed the primal Qi of heaven and earth after about thirty seconds and began to absorb it.

The Heaven and Earth Origin Energy gathered on the Blue Silver Grass and entered his body through the medium of his Martial Soul.

"He actually completed his first meditation so quickly."

Watching this, Lin Ye's eyes widened in surprise.

After all, as far as he knew, Jiang Yi's Innate Soul Power was only level 0.1.

His own Innate Soul Power had been level three, yet his first meditation had taken nearly four hours to complete.

What a pity. His Innate Soul Power is too low. He's destined not to accomplish much in the future. Whether he can even break through to level ten is questionable.

The level of a person's Innate Soul Power determined not only their cultivation speed, but also their upper limit as a Soul Master.

Ten thousand years ago, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, whose Innate Soul Power had been half a level, had struggled for half his life without breaking through the bottleneck at level thirty.

If he hadn't obtained an Immortal Herb later, he might never have broken through level thirty in his lifetime.

Lin Ye felt sorry for Jiang Yi, while Jiang Yi remained immersed in the sensations of his first cultivation session.

Slow. So slow.

That was Jiang Yi's first impression. After the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy entered his body, only a tiny portion could actually be transformed into Soul Power and remain there.

Calling it a snail's crawl would have been flattery.

Level 0.1 Soul Power really is too inadequate. And I still haven't obtained an achievement. Do I have to complete a full circulation first?

Realizing this, Jiang Yi concentrated on absorbing Soul Power.

By this time, Jiang Nannan had also entered a state of cultivation.

Seeing this, Lin Ye stood guard over the two of them.

These were people She Fei valued, so he naturally couldn't let anything happen to them.

The sky gradually dimmed to a dusky yellow. Jiang Nannan had finished cultivating and stood to one side, watching Jiang Yi, who was still cultivating.

"Uncle Lin Ye, how much longer until Brother Jiang Yi wakes up?"

"It should be soon," Lin Ye replied, somewhat uncertain.

It was the first time he had seen someone's first meditation last so long.

The Blue Silver Grass gave off a faint glow. The Soul Power it transformed circulated continuously through his meridians, finally gathering in his dantian.

His level 0.1 Soul Power had increased by a tiny amount.

"Finally finished." Jiang Yi let out a long breath.

The next second, an incomparably pleasant voice rang out.

"Host detected completing first Soul Power cultivation. One achievement obtained."

"Achievement name: Snail's First Steps on the Soul Path. (With speed and perseverance comparable to a snail's, you successfully cultivated a single drop of Soul Power. Such efficiency outshines all ages, and is hereby commemorated.)"

"Achievement reward: Increases the purity of cultivated Soul Power by ten percent."

Chapter 5: Enrollment, Photosynthesis?

Jiang Yi's lips twitched as he read the new achievement's description.

When the first achievement appeared, he had already felt that something was off.

The system's descriptions always seemed to carry a hint of mockery.

Forget it. As long as it makes me stronger, that's enough. Jiang Yi put those minor details aside.

A ten percent increase in the purity of my cultivated Soul Power won't help my cultivation much at this stage.

After all, level 0.1 Soul Power is useless no matter how pure it is.

Still, being able to obtain high-quality Soul Power without affecting my cultivation speed is a good thing.

Increasing my cultivation speed is the top priority. I have to try to obtain more achievements and get one that can increase it.

After looking over the new achievement, Jiang Yi opened his eyes.

"Brother Jiang Yi, you finally finished cultivating!" Jiang Nannan immediately ran over happily.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Nannan." Jiang Yi stood up with a smile.

"Thank you for teaching us the cultivation method, Uncle Lin Ye," he then said to Lin Ye.

"My superior gave me an order, so naturally I had to carry it out conscientiously," Lin Ye said with a smile.

"While you were cultivating, someone cleaned the courtyard house and got everything ready. You can move in tonight."

"Also, Miss Nannan's mother should be arriving in Spirit Mountain City around now. Once she arrives, I'll leave."

Jiang Yi and Jiang Nannan both nodded.

"Brother Jiang Yi, shall we go look at the rooms?" Jiang Nannan suggested expectantly.

"Sure." Jiang Yi had no objection.

He took Jiang Nannan to look around the house where they would be living for a long time to come.

The kitchen, bathroom, and living room were each far better than those in their old house.

And this was merely a house She Fei had purchased many years ago.

The difference between the lives of Soul Masters and ordinary people was truly enormous.

Soon they came to the bedrooms. There were three in total, enough for the two of them and Aunt Rou to each have one.

They would no longer face the awkward situation of having to share a room.

"From now on, we'll each have our own room," Jiang Yi said with a smile.

Hearing that, however, Jiang Nannan wasn't as happy as he had expected.

I still want to share a room with Brother Jiang Yi, Jiang Nannan thought silently, her little face falling.

"Nannan, Little Yi." Just then, a gentle voice called out.

"It's Mom!" Jiang Nannan cried in delighted surprise. She turned and ran outside.

Jiang Yi followed her out.

"Mom, Brother Jiang Yi and I both awakened Soul Power."

In her mother's arms, Jiang Nannan spoke proudly.

"I know all about it. Nannan and Little Yi are amazing." Aunt Rou held Jiang Nannan, her voice gentle and tinged with excitement.

Watching from the side, Jiang Yi saw tears glistening clearly in Aunt Rou's eyes.

Taking care of her own child and her friend's child all alone had always been an immense burden for Aunt Rou.

Now that they had both awakened Soul Power, she could finally put her mind at ease.

"Little Yi." Aunt Rou beckoned to Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi obediently walked over, and the three embraced, savoring this hard-won joy.

On the morning of their third day in Spirit Mountain City, sunlight fell over the city.

Jiang Yi and Jiang Nannan stood at their front door in brand-new Lingshan Junior Academy uniforms, carrying their luggage.

"Madam, please leave the two children to me," Lin Ye said with a smile.

"All right. Please take good care of them," Aunt Rou said gently.

Jiang Yi led Jiang Nannan after Lin Ye, and they headed toward Lingshan Junior Academy.

Lingshan Junior Academy was the only junior academy in Spirit Mountain City. Because the city lay on the border, it had few permanent residents, and the academy wasn't particularly large either. All its students combined numbered only around a hundred.

"Brother Jiang Yi, will we have to stay at the academy all the time from now on?"

As they walked, Jiang Nannan looked downcast and very unhappy.

Lingshan Junior Academy was a closed campus. Once a semester's classes began, students had to stay at the academy most of the time.

They had only one day off each week.

For Jiang Nannan, who had never been away from her mother, this naturally wasn't easy.

"It's all right, Nannan. I'll be with you, and on our day off, we'll go home together," Jiang Yi said reassuringly, stroking her hair.

"Mm." Jiang Nannan nodded obediently.

After comforting Jiang Nannan, Jiang Yi continued walking forward with his eyes open.

But a slender stalk of Blue Silver Grass appeared on the back of his right hand, and his concentration was absolute.

He planned to try cultivating Soul Power while walking.
