A Fated Contest with Tang San! Leaving Alone!

"August 15.

Mid-Autumn Festival.

This was the second Mid-Autumn Festival I had spent since transmigrating to the Douluo World.

I had been here for a year and a half now.

Over a year ago, after accepting the old Blue Silver Emperor's unfinished sacrifice, my Soul Power had reached 38,000 years.

And now, it had only just reached 60,000 years.

In one year and one month, I had gained 22,000 years. That was fast for other Soul Beasts, but slow for me.

Ah Yin was already level 69. She was storing her excess Soul Power in her Soul Bone to avoid breaking through to the Maturity Stage.

I had to work even harder!

After accumulating strength for over a year, the rate at which my Soul Power increased had also slowed. I needed to go out and train again.

I might even leave the Star Dou Great Forest!

But my Spiritual Power was increasing far too slowly!

It was still only 470 points. In over a year, it had risen by a measly 14 points. That was as slow as a turtle could crawl. Was this what they called a bottleneck?

Without powerful Spiritual Power, I couldn't conceal my Soul Beast presence. I didn't dare leave the forest at all.

The moment I went out, I'd be a living target. The Clear Sky Sect at its peak, Spirit Hall, the other sects and experts-I couldn't stand against them.

Damn it all!

Should I go hunt down a Soul Beast with powerful Spiritual Power?

But Soul Beasts like that were too clever and cunning, and there were so few of them. They were too hard to hunt.

Forget it. First, I'll go..."

Ye Yang's diary came to an abrupt halt.

[Ding! Warning! Warning! Tang San has been born! Tang San has been born!]

Ye Yang was startled at first. Tang San had been born?

Then he stopped caring and complained to the system:

"System, what are you doing?"

"So he was born. What's with all the fuss? You scared me!"

[The system would like to remind the host that Tang San is affected by the fortune of the Douluo Continent and possesses great fortune. He will pose a great threat to the host in the future!]

Well now!

Ye Yang was a little surprised. Surely it couldn't be that serious?

Tang San did have a strong will, as well as trump cards like Tang Sect Hidden Weapons and cultivation techniques.

But when all was said and done, he had only been born tonight, while Ye Yang already had 60,000 years of Soul Power. He could even stand against an ordinary Titled Douluo, so why should he fear Tang San's threat?

Still, the system wouldn't shoot an arrow without a target.

Maybe Tang San would have even better, greater opportunities than in the original story?

Tch!

No matter what trump cards or opportunities you have, I've already beaten your old man twice. Could I really let you turn the heavens upside down?

[Ding! Because the host obtained Tang San's original mother, beat Tang Hao and changed his future, and absorbed a Mandala Snake and Ghost Vine, karmic connection with Tang San +10+5+1+1]

Ye Yang froze and hurriedly asked, "System, what does this karmic connection mean?"

[Host, karmic connection refers to the extent to which the host has changed Tang San's fate. Or, the more things the host has done that are similar to or closely connected with Tang San, the greater the Karma Value.]

"Then what's the significance of Karma Value?"

[It provides a corresponding multiplier to the points earned.]

Ye Yang suddenly understood. He had even taken Tang San's original mother, so his influence on Tang San had to be considerable.

At the very least, Tang San couldn't use the hammer in his left hand to protect the grass in his right.

At most, he could use the hammer to protect his spear.

That was why Ye Yang had gained 10 Karma Value.

As for Tang San's father, Tang Hao, Ye Yang had beaten him twice.

His future life in particular was completely different from the original, which was also a huge change.

Something else occurred to him, and he quickly said, "I remember that Tang San's third Soul Ring came from a 2,000-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider."

"The biggest benefit of absorbing that Soul Ring beyond his limit was getting the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone. It was a huge help to Tang San."

"In other words, if I also hunt a Man Faced Demon Spider, or obtain the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone, my Karma Value with Tang San will increase significantly?"

[Yes, host! If the host hunts a 2,000-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider now, the reward will be 2,000 base points, and Karma Value will increase by 8. Multiply that by the current 26 Karma Value with Tang San to obtain the final point reward.]

"Holy crap! Take Tang San's road and leave him with no road to take?"

"And the reward is more than twenty times as much?"

Ye Yang was overjoyed.

He had originally thought that his future grudge with Tang San would only stem from his dealings with Tang San's father, Tang Hao.

But unexpectedly, other karmic ties had appeared, and the system had treated them as a task.

There was no way to escape it now.

[The host is reminded that where there are rewards, there are also punishments. For every round the host loses in his fated contest with Tang San, he will pay a heavy price!]

The system didn't specify the price, but he didn't think it was merely trying to alarm him.

Even so, Ye Yang didn't take it to heart.

Heh, Little San, as a transmigrator, you're only on the third floor.

But your big brother here is up in the thirty-third heaven!

As Ye Yang pondered, he looked forward to his future cultivation all the more.

He had already been holed up in this little valley for over a year.

The increase in his Soul Power had returned to the way it had been before, like waiting by a tree stump for a rabbit to come along.

Of course, with his current level as a Quasi-Blue Silver Emperor, contact with Ah Yin would also make both of them cultivate faster.

Besides, Blue Silver Grass grew exceptionally thickly in this small valley, making it an ideal place for it to grow.

Under all these conditions, his cultivation continued to soar.

Ah Yin's cultivation had also reached level 69. From now on, her cultivation would consist of continuously storing Soul Power in her Soul Bone.

She only had to wait until she fully matured, and her strength would soar to the heavens.

By now, Ye Yang couldn't wait to go out and train again.

But after thinking it over carefully, he decided to go alone.

"I want to go too!"

When she heard that Ye Yang wouldn't let her come along, Ah Yin grew anxious.

Ye Yang took the form of a "scarecrow" again and wrapped an arm around Ah Yin's slender waist. "I want to take you with me too. I don't want to be apart from you either," he comforted her.

"But coming with me would only hold back your cultivation. This little valley suits you very well."

"Besides, I'll be back before long."

"What's more, you know how I cultivate. It's a little bloody, and I don't want you to see it."

"And the telepathic connection between us is growing stronger. We can sense each other's approximate location and whether the other is in danger, so there's no need to worry."

Ah Yin nodded obediently and said reluctantly, "All right, then. Make sure you come back soon!"

"Mm!"

Ye Yang turned and left.

Having someone waiting for him to return gave him a feeling of home in this little valley.
