Tang Wutong's Thoughts! The System Issues Three Major Tasks

"Sigh, I thought Jin Yu was the last of their clan. I never expected the Golden Crocodile line to still have an expert like this. We underestimated their clan," Yan Shaozhe said with a sigh.

"Damn it, he really got away." Tang Wutong secretly clenched her fists, deeply displeased.

In fact, when the Holy Spirit Cult launched its sneak attack on Shrek Academy last night, she had only seen a figure who looked somewhat like Jin Yu. She had not been certain that Jin Yu was the one who had entered the treasury and stolen the Soul Bone.

Tang Wutong had indeed deliberately slandered Jin Yu despite being uncertain.

Back in their first freshman assessment after joining Shrek Academy, Jin Yu had defeated the three-person team of Tang Wutong, Huo Yuhao, and Xiao Xiao to claim the championship.

That was when Tang Wutong first took a dislike to Jin Yu.

Later, the two often competed against each other in secret, meeting point for point, but every time, Jin Yu came out a head above her. That only made Tang Wutong's dissatisfaction with him grow stronger.

But that had merely made Tang Wutong dislike and resent Jin Yu. It had not been enough to make her want to frame and slander him, or to have him crippled.

The real reason was that Tang Wutong had repeatedly spoken ill of the former Spirit Hall in front of their classmates, and whenever it came up, Jin Yu had repeatedly spoken in its defense and argued against her.

Only then had Tang Wutong gradually developed intense hostility toward Jin Yu, along with a trace of killing intent.

So she had deliberately slandered Jin Yu, hoping to have him crippled, but her plan had failed.

Tang Wutong narrowed her eyes slightly. Hmph, Jin Yu, I didn't expect you to have a level-98 elder, but so what? Your backing is still a long way from matching mine!

You want to slap my mouth to pieces? Then I'll smash your head open first!

You got away today, so let it be. One day, I'll personally trample you underfoot. Just you wait!

Elsewhere, Golden Crocodile Douluo had successfully brought Jin Yu beyond Shrek Academy's reach.

"Jin Yu, which direction should we go?"

Shrek Academy would never let the matter rest after suffering such a heavy loss. It would surely call on its connections afterward to search the entire continent for their whereabouts.

The Heavenly Soul Empire, the Dou Ling Empire, and the Star Luo Empire were relatively close to Shrek Academy. Only in the Sun Moon Empire did its influence not reach very far.

Jin Yu had not yet decided what to do next, but he certainly wanted to get as far away from Shrek Academy as possible.

"Ancestor, let's head west into the Sun Moon Empire!" Jin Yu said.

"All right!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo picked up speed.

Meanwhile, the system's voice rang out once more.

[Task issued: Escape Shrek Academy and resolve the crisis of being killed by Xuan Zi. Completed. Reward: Martial Soul Evolution into the top-tier Beast Martial Soul, Golden Crocodile King.]

"It's here."

In an instant, a tremendous power was unleashed from Jin Yu's Martial Soul, beyond his control.

"Ancestor! Stop for a moment, my Martial Soul is about to evolve!"

"What?" Golden Crocodile Douluo was startled. He quickly darted into the woods ahead and set Jin Yu down.

"Roar!!"

Jin Yu's Golden Crocodile Martial Soul burst uncontrollably from his body.

The Martial Soul's appearance and size began changing at a speed visible to the naked eye, its size doubling in an instant.

It also looked more powerful and ferocious, like a king among crocodiles.

The high-grade Golden Crocodile Martial Soul had evolved into the top-tier Beast Martial Soul, Golden Crocodile King!

"My strength has grown!"

Jin Yu was overjoyed.

He could feel that the power his Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul now brought him was much greater than before.

"Good lad! How did your Martial Soul suddenly evolve out of nowhere?" Golden Crocodile Douluo looked utterly baffled.

"Perhaps sensing your Martial Soul's presence gave me a deeper understanding of my own Martial Soul, and it evolved."

"That works too?" Golden Crocodile Douluo's mouth twitched slightly. He smiled and said, "Heh heh, in any case, your Martial Soul evolving is a good thing. Now your Martial Soul is finally a little more like what a descendant of mine should have!"

[Three major tasks issued in accordance with the host's current circumstances.]

[Current task one: Slap Tang San's daughter Tang Wutong's mouth to pieces at the next Soul Master Tournament.]

[Current task two: Destroy Shrek Academy.]

[Current task three: Change the fate of Spirit Hall's destruction in the Douluo I timeline and help unify the Douluo Continent. Current probability of Spirit Hall's destruction: 100%.]

[Task progress: 0]

[The system will adjust the probability of Spirit Hall's destruction in real time according to the host's actions.]

[Ultimate task of the mortal plane: Lead Spirit Hall to rule during the Peerless Tang Sect era.]

"This means I have to make Spirit Hall rule over two timelines..."

"The Douluo I timeline is manageable, but the Douluo II timeline won't be easy. That God King Tang San will damn well ignore the Divine Realm's rules and interfere in mortal affairs."

"As for these three tasks, they really do suit me. They're all things I want to do right now!"

[The system's spatial traversal ability has received its first upgrade.]

[Current number of traversals: 1. Cooldown: one month.]

[In addition to Golden Crocodile Douluo, the host may bring 100 Soul Masters whose Soul Power is below the host's, and three Soul Masters whose Soul Power is above the host's.]

[The host's permitted stay in the Douluo I era has increased to one month. Upon returning to the original world, the host may choose where to arrive within one kilometer of the position occupied before traversal.]

[Important notice: From now on, the timelines of the two worlds will be synchronized. If one month passes for the host in the Douluo I era, one month will also pass in the original world.]

[The spatial ability will receive a second upgrade once the host advances to Four-Ring Soul Ancestor.]

"Not bad. I can stay for a month now, and I can bring 100 people across with me. Most importantly, I can bring three people whose Soul Power is above mine. With Ancestor included, I can take four Titled Douluo back with me now."

"I can choose where to arrive within one kilometer of where I crossed over. It's not very far, but at least I won't return to the same spot and have enemies waiting for me like hunters by a tree stump."

Jin Yu withdrew from his thoughts and said, "Ancestor, I have one chance to travel back now, but this place isn't safe enough yet. Let's continue on into the Sun Moon Empire first and find somewhere to settle down. We can talk about it then."

"All right. There's no rush to go back. I also want to see more of the world ten thousand years later."

Golden Crocodile Douluo set off again with Jin Yu.

He had too many questions he wanted to ask. "Jin Yu, you said just now that Shrek Academy has more than ten Titled Douluo. They must be extremely powerful in this era, right?"

"Yes, very powerful."

Jin Yu nodded and explained, "Shrek Academy has a core force called the Sea God Pavilion. Along with Mingde Hall and the Body Sect, it's considered one of the three top forces on the continent today."

"Three top forces? Does that mean the other two also have more than ten Titled Douluo each?"

"About that, yes."

Golden Crocodile Douluo was astonished. "About that? Then those three forces alone have around thirty Titled Douluo? There are quite a few in this era! Are there fifty Titled Douluo on the whole continent?"

"More than that."

Jin Yu shook his head with a smile. "Ancestor, go on and take a bold guess."
