Douluo: Blade Template, Death Omen Approaching

Chapter 1 Role-Playing System, Get Up!

Douluo Continent, Holy Soul Village.

Sunlight bathed every corner of Holy Soul Village, making this tranquil little village appear as if it were draped in a golden veil.

At the sacred handprint, the ancient stone tablet appears even more solemn under the sunlight, as if telling the story of the village's long history.

The blind Douluo Su Yuntao, dressed in a long purple robe that fluttered in the wind, appeared mysterious and majestic.

He leaped lightly from the eaves, his movements as fluid as flowing water, without a trace of worldly malice.

Old village chief Jack, his face covered in wrinkles, has witnessed countless years of vicissitudes in Holy Soul Village.

He leaned on his cane, his steps faltering, yet he still walked resolutely toward Su Yuntao.

Village Chief Jack, with a hunched back and full of respect, said:

"Hello, esteemed Master of Battle Souls, I'm counting on you this time."

Su Yuntao's gaze was cold; he merely glanced at the children Jack had brought, his tone revealing impatience:

"I don't have much time, let's start now."

Village Chief Jack was not discouraged by Yun Tao's indifference; he knew the value of this Battle Soul Master. He turned to look at the group of six-year-old children below, his eyes filled with expectation. He waved, his voice gentle and full of affection:

"Alright, children, this is a Battle Spirit Master from Notting City. He will now guide you in awakening your own Martial Spirit!"

Upon hearing this, some children stared wide-eyed, some whispered among themselves, while most looked completely bewildered.

They may not yet understand what martial spirits mean to them, but their curiosity and longing for the unknown have already quietly taken root in their hearts.

Amidst the children's bewilderment and curiosity,

Only Ren and Tang San, who were standing in front, remained calm on the surface.

Tang San, of course, needs no introduction. He was killed for violating sect rules and then transmigrated to this place.

His eyes were deep and unfathomable, as if he could see into the distant future through the scene before him. His face remained expressionless, as if all of this was within his expectations.

As for Ren, he is also a transmigrator, but he comes from Earth!

Not only is the name exactly the same as Blade from Honkai Impact 3rd: Stardust Railway, but their appearances are also almost identical, making them a natural cosplay savior of Blade!

At this moment, Ren's expression was indifferent. He glanced at Tang San beside him without much effort. He had traveled to the same village as this guy, but they didn't get along at all. After all, he knew Tang San's personality because he came from Blue Star!

This guy is extremely hypocritical, selfish, deceitful, arrogant, etc., and his rating on a certain platform is only 0.4 points higher than Yikun's!

Ren stopped thinking about it. Having read the original work, he already knew what was going to happen. It was nothing more than having innate full soul power, twin martial souls, a blade of grass, and a hammer. He wasn't envious.

After all, not long ago, Blade awakened and became a system! And the role he played was none other than Blade in Honkai Impact 3rd: Stardust Railway!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have awakened the Role-Playing System! Your current role is Blade, a member of the Star Core Hunters in Honkai Impact: Star Railway, with a bounty of 8.13 billion!]

[Host: Blade!]

[Attributes (adapted to the current world version) are as follows]

[Martial Soul: Fragmented Sword; Original Martial Soul: Blade (Complete Form); Innate Full Soul Power Level 20; Soul Rings: None (can be strengthened as the character progresses)]

[Curse of Abundance: Immortality; Luofu Swordsmanship Mirror Style; Negative Effects: Demonic Body, the Pain of Immortality.]

[Current progress: 5%]

[System Main Quest: "Five People, Three Costs": Allow the protagonist to suffer retribution and torment to significantly advance the role-playing progress. Reaching each stage of the quest will reward you with generous prizes!]

[Side Quest: Play as much as possible as you can as you can as a Blade to gain a small amount of progress! (Specific quest details to be announced)]

[Number of draws: 0.]

[Shop: Not open.]

【…】

Ren silently looked at the panel that the system had given him in his mind.

This system makes perfect sense. He is now playing the role of Blade, bearing the curse of abundance, and has gained immortality and abundant power.

Meanwhile, in the story, Ren was killed by Kagami-ryu thousands of times. In the midst of endless pain and torment, he also learned Kagami-ryu's top-notch swordsmanship.

However, in order to recreate the experience, this role-playing system seemed to have also recreated the pain of the Undying Blade for him.

Despite some suppression by the system, the excruciating pain still clearly reached every nerve in his body. At its most intense, the pain was almost unbearable, as if blades were truly cutting into his flesh.

Blade's brow furrowed slightly as he recalled those painful moments, but there was no fear in his eyes. He knew it was all temporary. The system interface explained that the pain would gradually lessen as his role-playing progressed, until it disappeared completely.

So from the moment he got the system, he thought that with this system, whether it was to become stronger or to be exempt from the pain it brought, he had to hurry up and speed up his role-playing progress!

Of course, the system is also good. The main quests that trip up the protagonist and make him suffer are not only rewarding in terms of progress, but the protagonist also likes the quests themselves and is willing to do them!

After all, as one of the people on Earth who is calling for the defeat of the villain Tang San, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Moreover, this mission seems to fit Blade's character design quite well.

It's nothing more than turning Dan Heng into Tang San!

Moreover, Tang San also liked to say

"You have already chosen a path to death."

In response, Ren said, "Do you know how appealing that sentence is to someone who wants to die but can't? They'd love to hear more of it!"

"The other shore I can never reach!"

The only problem right now is that he can't kill Tang San yet, because he still needs Tang San to complete his role-playing progress!

Then let him suffer more, and don't expect any protagonist's halo!

Moreover, now that I think about it, it seems that in the Honkai Impact 3rd, Blade was always looking for Danfeng. Rather than wanting to kill him, it was more that Blade wanted Danfeng to repay the sins of the past with him.

So it seems plausible that he would impersonate Blade here to torment Tang San.

Just as Ren was still pondering something, he noticed that the children had already followed Su Yuntao to prepare to activate their martial souls. He was thinking of following them when…

Unexpectedly, Tang San also noticed him. Seeing that he didn't move, he didn't think twice and suddenly nudged him with his elbow, a purple glint flashing in his eyes, while saying lightly.

"Stop daydreaming, let's go, it's about to start."

Blade was elbowed in response, feeling utterly bewildered. He glanced at him, and the more he looked at that hypocritical face, the more he felt his demonic influence was about to strike.

He patted the spot where he had been elbowed, his hand covered in bandages, with obvious disgust.

Then, a fierce glint flashed in his blood-red eyes. He had already begun to play the role of a blade, his expression as cold as frost. He left behind a sentence, "Heh, wishful thinking, meddling in other people's business," and walked straight towards Su Yuntao and the children.

"???"

Tang San stared at Ren's aloof back, his bewildered expression somewhat comical. His enthusiasm met with indifference; his lips twitched involuntarily, a wave of helplessness and anger washing over him.

He thought to himself, "You scoundrel, I'm trying to give you some good advice, and you don't appreciate it at all. You're really courting death!!"

A complex emotion flashed in Tang San's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and turned to walk towards the upcoming Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony.

At the same time, the system's voice rang in Ren's mind.

[Ding! The protagonist has suffered a slight setback; role-playing progress increased by 0.02%]

[Ding! The protagonist has developed a slight anger towards you; role-playing progress increased by 0.04%]

[Current role-playing progress: 5.06%]

[Hint: The stronger the protagonist's reaction, the more the role-playing progress will increase!]

Upon hearing the system's voice, Ren merely sneered inwardly.

"Heh, every cause has its effect; your retribution is me!"

"It's good to be angry."

"Tang San, your good days are just beginning."
