Douluo: Blade Template, Death Omen Approaching

Chapter 39 Star Core Hunter × Tang San Hunter √

Upon seeing the "Companion Mission" pop-up in the system preview, Ren's pupils contracted slightly, but his face remained as calm as a still well.

His heart was as still as stagnant water, without a ripple.

Controlling the country? Blade's thoughts flowed silently, as if he were considering something.

In an instant, the image of Kafka, a member of the Star Core Hunters, flashed through Dian Dao Ge's mind. He thought to himself that this kind of strategy of controlling the overall situation might be more suitable for Kafka, who was good at using Word Magic.

Her ability to manipulate people's hearts is indeed undisputed.

Asking Ren to take on this task himself is really asking too much of him.

Blade has a very clear understanding of his own role: he excels at precision strikes and hunting down those he has marked. That dance on the edge of a knife is something he can do with ease, and it excites and drives him crazy!

But he was not only not good at, but also found the grand and complicated planning of controlling a country tedious and tedious.

In his mind, Blade's gaze fell on "Companion Mission" again. Those four words seemed to have some kind of magic, attracting his attention.

He suddenly realized that this "companion mission" was quite similar to the setting in the game "Collapse Iron".

In games, "companion quests" are often linked to a character's storyline, much like the legendary quests in Genshin Impact, which are full of mystery and anticipation.

Thinking about it this way, the "Companion Mission" launched by the system no longer seemed so unfamiliar to Blade; in fact, it even felt somewhat familiar.

He already had a good grasp of the procedures and patterns of this type of mission, but he knew nothing about the two colleagues who would be working alongside him, which inevitably filled him with some curiosity and anticipation.

Perhaps he is not an expert in manipulating the country, but this colleague may be an asset to him?

He imagined that perhaps the other person possessed some unique talent that could compensate for his shortcomings and together they could accomplish this seemingly impossible task.

Even if things don't go as planned, the image of the Blue Silver Emperor appeared in Ren's mind. Once she recovered, as one of his own, she would undoubtedly become a fairly powerful force.

After all, her name contains the character for "emperor," so surely she couldn't be completely clueless about controlling and governing a country? Her existence is undoubtedly a trump card.

At this moment, the system's task assignments seemed to Blade like a script carefully crafted by Elio. He only needed to follow the direction of the task, and he was ready to move forward in the predetermined direction.

As for how this play will end, Ren doesn't care.

He was used to taking things as they came. As long as the mission went smoothly, the ending was just the last page of the script for him; he would just turn the page and move on.

Blade slightly opened his eyes, a faint trace of nostalgia flashing across them as he thought of his companions from the Star Core Hunters.

In the world of "Collapse Iron", he, along with Kafka, Silver Wolf, Firefly, and others, meticulously planned and arranged according to the script, creating one opportunity after another for Star Core Refinement, allowing her to move between various forces, get to know and cooperate with them, and prepare for the upcoming Star God-level war.

They have left their mark on space stations, the Star Train, the Spaceship, Pinocchio, and other places, together weaving a vast strategic network.

Back then, the Star Core Hunters were a perfectly coordinated team, with everyone fulfilling their duties in their respective roles, so Blade didn't need to worry too much.

Their collaboration was seamless, like a precision instrument where every gear meshed perfectly.

Now, following the trajectory of the system's mission, it seems that this Tang San hunter is going to subdue all the various forces in this small Douluo Continent by himself, in order to isolate Tang San, the ultimate boss of the entire continent.

It's a bit troublesome, but in order to inherit Blade's persistence, since it's to make Tang San suffer setbacks everywhere and pay for his sins, while also reducing his own side effects, Blade's lips curled up slightly, his eyes filled with madness.

"Tang San".

Blade muttered to himself, his voice laced with a hint of mockery and coldness.

"You also have your own script?"

"Your end will surely be filled with terror."

"hehe."

His laughter was low and cold, as if he had already foreseen Tang San's miserable atonement. It was the cold look of a hunter looking at his prey, full of anticipation for the upcoming showdown.

Unaware of how much time had passed, Blade was still pondering the details of the "companion mission."

Suddenly, his blood-red eyes, sharp as blades, swept to one side.

At the corner of the corridor, a figure slowly came into his line of sight.

That was Yu Xiaogang. His body was wrapped in bandages, several layers more than Ren's, making him look like a walking human mummy.

He leaned on two crutches, limping and struggling forward, each step appearing so laborious.

When Yu Xiaogang saw Ren, his eyes did not show the slightest anger or resentment because of Ren's previous attack. On the contrary, his eyes were filled with the ecstasy and excitement of seeing a genius.

His two crippled legs seemed eager to bring him closer to the blade so he could get a good look at it.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of his hands, Yu Xiaogang would have even wanted to immediately summon Luo Sanpao and have it drag him to the side of the blade!

In his eyes, this "master" Ren and Tang San were geniuses that others could not understand, but only he could see through.

This discovery thrilled him, as if he had found a kindred spirit.

Finally, Yu Xiaogang, leaning on his crutches, laboriously approached Ren.

His missing front tooth caused a lisp when he spoke, making his voice sound somewhat comical, but his tone was full of enthusiasm and anticipation:

"Why are you still standing here? Come on in, my office is quite big, let's go inside and talk, and let me take a good look at you."

His eyes revealed an appreciation and longing for the blade, as if he wanted to discover more secrets from it.

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Ren's train of thought was interrupted. A fierce glint flashed in Ren's blood-red eyes as he stared at Yu Xiaogang, whose face was bruised and swollen, with murderous intent. His voice was as cold as ice as he squeezed out two words through clenched teeth.

"court death?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang, under Ren's gaze, was like prey being targeted by a ferocious beast, and was so frightened by those words that he took a step back.

His body trembled involuntarily. Just a moment ago, he felt a pressure from the depths of his soul, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. He almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

[Ding! The system notification sound echoed in the air. Yu Xiaogang was so frightened he almost jumped out of his skin. Role-playing progress increased by 0.01%!]

[Current role-playing progress: 22.02%!]

The system notification sounded in Ren's mind, while Yu Xiaogang, under Ren's fierce gaze, turned pale, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his legs trembled, as if he might kneel on the ground at any moment due to fear.

His eyes were filled with terror, his mouth was slightly open but he couldn't make a sound, like a frightened rabbit facing a cheetah about to pounce.

Even a master like Yu Xiaogang was at a loss for words!
