Douluo V: Taking advantage of Xiao Wu's naivety, I tricked her into becoming my wife.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Ye Hua stood alone under the old locust tree, watching Tang San's departing figure surrounded by the villagers.

The sun was still warm, but he felt cold all over.

There was no academy, no resources, and no teachers.

A level 3 soul power waste with a wooden stick martial soul would be lucky to reach level 10 in this lifetime.

In his entire life, he will probably only be able to farm and hunt in Holy Soul Village, grow old slowly like old Jack, and eventually become an old man basking in the sun at the entrance of the village!

Tang San will advance triumphantly, entering Notting, Shrek Academy, and ascending to the God Realm, becoming the revered Sea God!

No one will remember this little incident today; no one will remember that a child named Ye Hua was sacrificed!

Even if someone remembers, they'll only say—

That was a necessary price for Tang San's path to godhood, and it was Ye Hua's blessing that he was willing to sacrifice for him!

"Oh."

Ye Hua let out a low, hoarse laugh.

【Ding--】

[Host has been subjected to a fate-level injustice, meeting the awakening conditions]

[Darkened Rescue System, Activating...]

[The system's sole rule: to rewrite their tragic fate and give them a happy life.]

[A salvageable target detected]

[Xiao Wu: A 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit in human form, originally destined to sacrifice herself in the future, becoming Tang San's soul ring and the scabbard of the Asura Sword, enduring the pain of being eroded by the Asura Divine Sword for a lifetime.]

[Zhu Zhuqing: Daughter of a noble family in the Star Luo Empire. In the original timeline, she was destined to become a tool for a royal marriage, marrying the cowardly and scumbag Dai Mubai, and being trapped in a cage for life.]

[Qian Renxue: Successor of the Angel God, originally destined to be defeated by Tang San and abandoned by the Angel God, she lived in despair, enduring endless scorn and contempt.]

[Hu Liena: Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, whose original destiny was to be repeatedly tormented by fate. She loved Tang Yin but could not have him, and was eventually abandoned after being heartbroken.]

【...】

[More objectives await the host's exploration.]

[First-time activation rewards: One chance to evolve your Martial Soul, a breakthrough in Soul Power level, and 100 Gold Soul Coins as starting capital]

[System warning: Those hypocritical scoundrels don't deserve them!!!]

The system notification had barely finished when the scenery before Ye Hua's eyes changed abruptly. Xiao Wu leaned against his chest, Zhu Zhuqing massaged his shoulders, and the proud Qian Renxue abandoned her arrogance, using a kiss to feed him the fruit wine...

Chapter 2: Dragon Staff with Innate Level 15

The scene abruptly ended.

This is the host's mission: to become the MVP of Douluo Continent after its corruption and to bring them happiness.

Ye Hua's lips twitched. "So, this is what I'm asked to save people for?"

[That's right, please hurry up and make sure you reach Xiao Wu before Tang San, otherwise Tang San's protagonist aura will take effect, and Xiao Wu will be deeply bound to Tang San.]

Ye Hua took a deep breath, and without hesitation, turned and disappeared into the dense forest behind the village, heading north.

Only after confirming that there was no one else within a hundred meters did he carefully sit down against the tree trunk.

"System, evolve your martial spirit."

[Command confirmed, Martial Soul evolution begins!]

The moment he finished speaking, a scorching power exploded from his dantian and surged wildly along his meridians to the palm of his right hand.

Ye Hua looked down and saw his martial spirit manifesting.

The ugly wooden stick was no taller than an adult, grayish-brown all over, with a rough surface as if it had been gnawed by wild dogs, pitted and full of scars.

When it first awakened, Su Yuntao took one look and shook his head and sighed, while Old Jack bluntly said, "This thing is so sharp that it's not even good for burning."

But at this moment, this ugly wooden stick is changing!

The grayish-brown outer skin peels off, revealing a dark gold staff body with fine lines growing and extending on the surface, eventually forming a five-clawed golden dragon coiled around the staff body!

The dragon's head is raised at the top of the stick, and its tail is wrapped around the end of the stick. Its scales and claws are clearly defined, making it lifelike!

As Ye Hua reached out and grasped the staff, the moment his palm touched the shaft, the coiled dragon pattern suddenly flickered, as if responding to his heartbeat.

"This is......"

Ye Hua's voice trembled slightly.

Superior Martial Soul: Coiled Dragon Staff!

A genuine, powerful offensive weapon spirit!

Although it can't compare to the Six-Winged Angel, the Clear Sky Hammer, or the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, it is by no means a piece of trash that can be easily defeated!

Ye Hua held the Panlong Staff, feeling the warm pulse emanating from its body, and let out a long sigh.

"System, continue, break through to the next level of soul power!"

[Command confirmed - Soul Power level breakthrough in progress]

An even more powerful force exploded within him!

If the evolution of a martial soul is like a bone transformation, then the breakthrough of soul power is like a blood transfusion, with the meridians being forcibly widened and the soul power increasing level by level!

Level 4

Level 5

Level 6...

Impurities in the body are expelled, and grayish-black grime seeps from the skin, only to be blown away by the mountain wind.

The power gradually subsided at level fifteen.

Ye Hua opened his eyes, panting heavily.

He only needs to hunt down one soul beast to obtain a soul ring to directly break through to the Soul Master realm!

Ye Hua stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, and his joints cracked and popped, as if a rusty machine had finally been lubricated!

"I will not attack unless attacked!"

"If anyone offends me, I will eliminate them completely!"

"Tang San, it wouldn't be a disadvantage for me to die!"

"You just wait!"

Ye Hua did not return to the village; there was nothing left in Holy Soul Village that would make him want to go back.

When he transmigrated, both his parents had died, and he barely survived on the meager savings they left behind. No one in the village was even willing to help him!

You weren't there when the sun was setting, but who are you now that it's rising again?

Ye Hua glanced one last time in the direction of Holy Soul Village, and after confirming that his breakthrough hadn't attracted Tang Hao's attention, he turned and walked in the opposite direction without looking back.

The distance from Holy Soul Village to Notting City isn't too far, but it still took a child two whole days to travel alone!

Fortunately, he had 100 gold soul coins as start-up capital provided by the system, which the system converted into copper soul coins. He then hired an oxcart on the way, so that his feet wouldn't get blisters from walking!

On the afternoon of the third day, the outline of Nottingham finally appeared on the horizon.

The city walls weren't high, but they felt more real than any ancient city he'd ever seen on television in his previous life.

The gray brick walls were covered with moss, and people came and went in the city gate, with vendors coming and going in an endless stream.

Ye Hua passed through the city gate and inquired his way to the Notting City Martial Soul Branch Hall, where he lied and said that he had lost his Martial Soul Certificate and came to reissue it.

After successfully obtaining proof of the [Dragon Staff with Innate Full Soul Power] and receiving the subsidy, they set off for the Junior Soul Master Academy.

The academy is located in the north of the city. Although it is not large, it is much more impressive than the surrounding residential houses. A sign with the words "Notting Junior Soul Master Academy" hangs on the iron gate.

Ye Hua used his wealth to successfully complete the enrollment procedures. Just as he was about to intercept Xiao Wu in front of Tang San, he suddenly stopped and a playful look appeared on his face.

Tang San?

Standing beside him was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a black robe, with a thin face and a gloomy look in his eyes.

Master Yu Xiaogang!

Ye Hua looked around but didn't see Old Jack; it seemed he had already gone back.

Tang San also noticed that Ye Hua, who was dressed neatly and cleanly, suddenly had his pupils contract!

"Ye Hua? What are you doing here!"

Where did you get the money to come to Nottingham?

"No, you're not wearing a work-study student uniform. Where did you get the money to enroll?"

Tang San was stunned for a moment, then his heart surged with anger!

It must be Old Jack!

That old bastard talks a good game, but behind the scenes he gave all his money to this good-for-nothing for travel and tuition!
