Douluo: My Custom Achievement System

Strengthened by his first Soul Skill, the Blue Silver vines' attack power increased severalfold, piercing straight through the Blood-Red Baboon's arm.

The attacks were so dense that it had no time to dodge, and its body was soon covered in wounds.

The Blood-Red Baboon was furious. Abandoning defense entirely, it swung its claws again and again.

At that moment, a grayish-white vine quietly coiled around the Blood-Red Baboon's legs, then abruptly tightened.

With its legs bound, the Blood-Red Baboon lost its balance and crashed heavily to the ground.

The other Blue Silver Grass vines that were still attacking also swarmed forward, binding the Blood-Red Baboon's arms, body, and throat and tightening around them.

"Raaagh!" At first, the Blood-Red Baboon could still let out a few piercing roars.

Eventually, its breathing grew weaker and weaker, and it was soon strangled unconscious.

Jiang Yi was still standing where he had been. He had barely moved throughout the entire battle, and at his feet lay the bound, unconscious Blood-Red Baboon.

For a moment, the entire beast-fighting arena fell silent.

Chapter 61: The whole audience shocked, full marks (please keep reading!)

Du Weilun stared blankly at the scene in the beast-fighting arena from the raised platform.

Defeating a thousand-year Soul Beast in the second-year advancement assessment was nothing remarkable. Shrek Academy produced geniuses in abundance, and many such figures had appeared before.

But when all of Jiang Yi's circumstances were taken into account, the achievement was enough to leave even him, the director of instruction at Shrek Outer Court, wearing such an expression.

Level sixteen, Blue Silver Grass, and a thousand-year First Soul Ring-with all these conditions combined, he had defeated a thousand-year Blood-Red Baboon.

The most famous Blue Silver Grass Soul Master on the Douluo Continent was Sea God Tang San of ten thousand years ago.

Could Sea God Tang San have done something like this when he was twelve?

Du Weilun thought not.

"Every generation brings forth new talent. No wonder the academy head personally made an exception and let him study at Shrek Academy," Du Weilun exclaimed.

At that moment, the others who had come to watch the match because they were paying attention to Jiang Yi were also shocked by his strength.

"That fighting power..." Wang Yan adjusted his glasses, then took them off and wiped them again and again, trying to figure out whether his eyes were playing tricks on him.

Even if Jiang Yi's Martial Soul had mutated, and even if he had a thousand-year First Soul Ring, he should not have possessed such formidable fighting power.

And Blue Silver Grass, which should have been a Control System Martial Soul, possessed such powerful Power Attack System capabilities.

This defied common sense!

But how could Wang Yan have known that Jiang Yi's strength was far beyond what his Soul Power could show?

The improvements his achievement rewards brought him grew alongside his level.

It could be said that, unless he ran into a cheat user like Huo Yuhao from the original story, he would always be stronger than Soul Masters of the same level.

Even fighting above his level was no great challenge for him.

And he could earn even more achievements in the future. Even if he really did run into the cheat-using Huo Yuhao, he would not be afraid.

All of Huo Yuhao's cheats came from the Douluo Continent, while even he could not fully understand what powers his own cheat possessed.

"This child really is surprising." Lin Yu's mouth fell slightly open as she looked at Jiang Yi in the arena.

She had guessed that Jiang Yi was strong, but she had not imagined he was this strong.

"Can Blue Silver Grass really possess such great power? Little Ya's..."

Bei Bei seemed to realize something and hurriedly looked toward Tang Ya in Class Two.

Tang Ya stood rooted to the spot, lost and dazed. However shocked the others were, none of them was nearly as shaken as she was.

Her own Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass, so how could she not know how strong it was?

Why is his Blue Silver Grass so strong? Our Tang Sect clearly has the deepest understanding of Blue Silver Grass.

And the Soul Beast fused with his First Soul Ring doesn't seem to have been a Mandala Snake. That was Ancestor Tang San's...

Their Tang Sect had clearly followed Ancestor Tang San's cultivation path to cultivate their Martial Souls, so why had they remained so weak, and why had even the Tang Sect perished over time?

The enormous shock left her dazed for a moment, and she could not help recalling that bloody night.

If their Blue Silver Grass had been this strong too, how could the Iron Blood Sect possibly have destroyed their Tang Sect?

A flash of black light crossed Tang Ya's eyes, and her presence grew unstable.

"Little Ya." Bei Bei shook Tang Ya's arm.

Tang Ya came to herself in an instant and met Bei Bei's worried eyes. The darkness in her heart was suppressed for the time being.

"Are you all right?" Bei Bei asked anxiously.

Tang Ya smiled. "What could be wrong with me? I'm just a little surprised, that's all."

Bei Bei pretended to breathe a sigh of relief and smiled. "That's good."

He knew what was on Tang Ya's mind, but he had no way to resolve it either. All he could do was stay by her side.

How exactly did Jiang Yi cultivate his Blue Silver Grass? I have to try asking him, no matter the price. Bei Bei's gaze was firm.

If Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass could be that powerful too, then many problems could be solved as easily as splitting bamboo.

The grayish-white Blue Silver Grass streamed back, and Jiang Yi retracted it all.

Du Weilun soon stepped forward and announced loudly, "The assessment is over. Jiang Yi challenged a thousand-year Soul Beast, earning a base score of one hundred points, and rendered the thousand-year Soul Beast unconscious, earning one hundred points."

"During the fight, he displayed exceptional control and fighting power, earning fifty technique points."

"That brings his total to a perfect score of one hundred and fifty points. He has passed the assessment."

"Thank you, teacher," Jiang Yi said with a faint smile.

The battle just now did not seem to have affected him. His extremely rapid Soul Power recovery had already allowed him to recover almost completely.

When he returned to his Class One classmates, they all looked at him strangely, as though he really were a monster.

But at a Monster Academy like Shrek, perhaps being treated as a monster by the other students was an unusual kind of compliment?

"Brother Jiang Yi, you're amazing," Jiang Nannan praised him.

Jiang Yi smiled faintly. "Your way of fighting was easier, though."

Ignoring the others' gazes, Jiang Yi and Jiang Nannan went to a quiet corner to wait.

Just when he thought the Class Two students would continue with their assessments, Du Weilun stepped forward and announced that their assessments would be held tomorrow instead.

With that being the case, Lin Yu dismissed her students and let them arrange their own time.

The time it took a class to complete its assessments varied. The shorter ones ended easily, like Bei Bei's and Jiang Yi's, while the longer ones took more than ten minutes.

By the time the assessment ended, it was already close to seven.

As Jiang Yi and Jiang Nannan headed to the cafeteria, Bei Bei and Tang Ya came over together.

To their surprise, Xu Sanshi also came over.

"Jiang Yi, I didn't expect you to be so strong," Xu Sanshi said in surprise.

Faced with the sudden compliment, Jiang Yi returned the favor with some businesslike mutual flattery. "Your Xuanming Shield is very strong too."

"My name is Xu Sanshi. You probably already knew that, but I wanted to introduce myself anyway. I hope we can be friends from now on." Xu Sanshi smiled and held out his hand.

As the young master of the Mysterious Nether Sect, he might always have seemed carefree, but he understood his mission.

He had come to Shrek not only to improve his strength, but also to get to know all kinds of geniuses.

Clearly, Jiang Yi, who had displayed such strength in battle, was among those worth befriending.

"Hello, I'm Jiang Yi. I'm glad to be your friend." Jiang Yi also reached out his hand in a friendly manner.

You did not strike a smiling face, and he had always treated others kindly. Becoming friends with Xu Sanshi was no loss.

After shaking hands, Xu Sanshi did not stay long. He ran straight off to the freshmen's class to find Ruan Qingjun.

The four of them went to the cafeteria. The mealtime rush had mostly passed, and there were not many people left.

They casually picked out a few dishes and found a place to stand and eat.

The atmosphere was somewhat quiet during the meal. Even Tang Ya, who was usually the liveliest of them, was rather quiet.

Bei Bei glanced at Tang Ya, then finally settled his gaze on Jiang Yi.

"Jiang Yi, there's something I'd like to ask you."

Chapter 62: Tang Ya finds it hard to accept (please keep reading!)

Hearing Bei Bei's words, Jiang Yi stopped eating and looked up at him.

He had naturally anticipated that Bei Bei would ask him, and was even a little surprised that Bei Bei had held back for so long.

"What is it? Go ahead and ask," Jiang Yi said with a faint smile.

Bei Bei's expression shifted, but he finally made up his mind and asked, "Jiang Yi, why is your Blue Silver Grass so powerful? Is there some special cultivation method?"

"If you're willing to tell Little Ya the method, you can name any condition I'm able to meet."

Tang Ya hurriedly raised her head and took Bei Bei's hand. "What are you saying, Bei Bei? I don't need you to sacrifice so much for me."

"Little Ya, as long as I can help you revive the Tang Sect, what's a little sacrifice from me?" Bei Bei said with a smile, taking her hand.

"Bei Bei." Tang Ya looked at him, touched.

Just as the two were gazing lovingly at each other, Jiang Yi could not help giving a dry cough, interrupting the couple who flirted anytime, anywhere.

"I haven't even said anything yet. Why do you already think I'd make some unreasonable demand? Is your impression of me really that bad?" Jiang Yi said helplessly.

Bei Bei hurriedly explained, "Of course not. I just wanted to show my sincerity."

"That's right, that's right. We didn't mean that," Tang Ya chimed in.

"Heh." Jiang Yi chuckled.

Jiang Yi had no intention of jealously guarding the Blue Silver Grass cultivation method.

It was obvious, after all. Anyone willing to use their brain and give it some thought could figure out the correct way to cultivate Blue Silver Grass.

The core attributes and characteristics of Blue Silver Grass were plain for everyone to see.

But because of Tang San's success, almost all Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters had been led astray.

Tang San's own Blue Silver Grass had succeeded not because he cultivated according to Yu Xiaogang's theories, but because of his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline and various fortuitous encounters.

In the end, even Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul was not all that powerful. It would have been a wonder if other Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters could grow stronger by imitating Tang San.

And the greatest reason Jiang Yi's Blue Silver Grass possessed such strong fighting power at its current stage was not the fusion with a Soul Ring of great vitality, but the system rewards.

Even if ordinary Blue Silver Grass fused with Soul Rings according to its life attribute and resilient nature,

for it to truly show results, Jiang Yi and Li Lingyu had envisioned that, under normal Soul Ring absorption, the Soul Master would have to reach at least the Soul King level and gain sufficient vitality before a true qualitative change could possibly occur.

Only then could it go from being an inferior Martial Soul to one capable of contending with other Martial Souls.

Of course, that did not mean fusing with compatible Soul Rings was of no use before reaching the Soul King level.

Fusing with compatible Soul Rings could allow Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters to follow the Control System path and improve the slowdown in their cultivation speed after level thirty.

Putting aside his thoughts, Jiang Yi met Tang Ya's expectant gaze and said, "I have no reason to keep the Blue Silver Grass cultivation method to myself."

"Since you want to know, I'll tell you."

"Tang Ya, do you know what the most important thing is for a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master who wants to fight other Soul Masters?" Jiang Yi began with a question.

"Being sufficiently tough and flexible, and carrying toxins that can affect the enemy." Tang Ya gave her answer at once.

This was the conclusion their Tang Sect's Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters had reached after nearly ten thousand years of cultivating Blue Silver Grass. That was how Ancestor Tang San had cultivated.

"Wrong," Jiang Yi said mercilessly of the Tang Sect's ten thousand years of experience.

Having her answer judged wrong so bluntly, Tang Ya pouted in displeasure and could not help asking, "Then what do you say is right?"

"If Blue Silver Grass wants to fight other Soul Masters and gain the upper hand, the most important thing comes down to one word: numbers."

"Overwhelming the few with the many is the essence of how Blue Silver Grass fights. One strand of Blue Silver Grass is weak, but a whole mass of it is a different matter," Jiang Yi explained.

Hearing this completely different answer, Tang Ya could not help recalling Jiang Yi's battle just now.

He really had controlled dozens of strands of Blue Silver Grass at once to fight the Blood-Red Baboon.
