Douluo Continent: Xiao Xiao, I'm going to control you fiercely!

The next day, 8:00 AM.

Feeling a bit of back pain, Xu Shu woke up but didn't break free from the blankets.

Instead, he reached for his phone on the bedside table and opened the internal forum of "Douluo: Clash of Gods" to check the posts and messages.

[The Marks of Sunset: I'm still experiencing the storyline and don't have many opportunities to play. Before acquiring Soul Skills, there's not much you can do; you can only watch the NPCs do their thing.]

[Murasame: The modeling is exquisite and very faithful to the original work, but the brain-computer interface occasionally experiences a slight delay, which needs further optimization.]

[Loves Spicy Rabbit Heads: I've already reached level 20. After unlocking the second stage of the main storyline with the save file locked, I now have a fast-forward function, which definitely saves a lot of time when I'm just idling.]

[A path to certain death is already clear: Brothers, I've activated the reputation system!]

[As long as your Soul Ring configuration exceeds the default recommended age limit, players with clan influence can unlock reputation, and then, within certain permissions, order their clan to do things for them.]

[Ten Years of Lonely Bamboo: Has anyone activated other secondary professions? I've currently activated the simplest blacksmith profession; it only requires going to the blacksmith shop and swinging a hammer to activate it.]

[I wonder if they'll be able to forge metals of the highest grade, even higher, later on, and create a modified battle armor in Douluo Continent II.]

[Pole vault: For ambitious brothers, with battle armor, it's entirely possible to raise your physique to level 80 at level 60, achieving a seventh spirit ring after 100,000 years. With a divine herb, a sixth spirit ring after 100,000 years isn't impossible either.]

[Super Romantic: Has anyone found the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well? I spent the entire first day exploring Sunset Forest. I've unlocked the whole map but still haven't found it. Will the developers make it into an extra dungeon?]

[Something's not right with this game: Guys, have you noticed that your reaction speed and physical abilities are a little better after playing this game using your brain? (Complete gibberish)]

After reading the discussions among the players, Xu Shu couldn't help but admire everyone's insightful ideas.

They all seem to be die-hard fans of the original work, dissecting the game mechanics in such detail.

Although everyone avoids mentioning it, Xu Shu knows that everyone should have already found the must-eat ingredient, the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue.

I wonder if some people would choose the first ring after a hundred years, and the second ring after a thousand years, just to make a trade-off in terms of time.

After all, according to the official settings, choosing different characters and the different periods in which the characters are located will result in significant changes to the map and the location of some resources.

Of course, there is still diversity among players. The guy who posted all garbled text seemed to have posted something too "obscure" (yinhui), and was directly banned by the official team.

Xu Shu turned off her phone and nimbly got out of bed.

After a quick wash, he returned to his loyal territory—the study—with a slice of toast in his mouth.

"Where is this? The Soul Suppressing Sect?"

So the characters really do have their own lives.

Xu Shu sat back down at his computer desk, somewhat surprised, and pressed ESC to return to the game's main interface to check the game announcements and various functions.

"I see, the time ratio is 1:20. Without any action, the character will be idle according to the default behavior logic. If an unexpected event is triggered and the player is not satisfied with the AI ​​logic result, they can roll back and start over."

"It's alright, this way even if players take a break, they won't fall too far behind the hardcore grinders."

After understanding the new game mechanics, Xu Shu reached for his headphones, put them on, and began carefully reviewing the character's behavior log.

After he saved the game, about 10 days had passed in the game. Xiao Xiao and his parents returned to the Soul Suppressing Sect without any major incidents.

Then, he disciplined himself to cultivate his soul power every day.

Apart from Xiao Xiao fainting for a day due to mental exhaustion, nothing unexpected happened.

"After 10 days of AFK training without any unexpected issues, there's no need to roll back."

"The cultivation technique has been developed, so let's import the data and learn it slowly, and then try out a secondary profession."

Having planned his next steps, Xu Shu used the secondary device to import the cultivation technique, which contained the circulation routes of the twelve regular meridians and eight extraordinary meridians of the human body, into the game.

[External data connection test in progress... Test run successful!]

Please name the current cultivation technique.

【Record of the Five Elements Returning to the Origin】

[The cultivation technique has been named. The player character's soul power circulation cultivation technique will be changed after one day of game time.]

"Alright, next we'll try out the blacksmithing secondary profession. With the support of the first ring of the millennium and two external soul bones, Xiao Xiao's physical attributes should be able to complete the thousand-fold forging."

Douluo World.

When Xu Shu moved the mouse for the first time, Xiao Xiao found that her body was once again out of her control.

She estimated the time; only ten days had passed.

It seems that the legendary saying that one day in the divine realm is one year on Earth is not entirely accurate.

In her mind's eye, Xiao Xiao shook her head and chuckled, preparing to see what the god would do next by controlling her body.

Suddenly, a huge golden book fell into her sea of ​​consciousness, transforming into a transparent diagram of the human body's soul energy meridians before her spiritual body.

The Record of the Five Elements Returning to the Origin.

This must be the cultivation method that the god mentioned earlier.

Compared to the Soul-Suppressing Technique of the family, this technique is ten times more difficult.

It truly is a technique from the gods.

Setting aside distracting thoughts, Xiao Xiao focused intently on learning the cultivation technique, attempting to follow the inexplicable guiding force within her body to alter the path of her soul power.

He glanced at his own body movements out of the corner of his eye.

"Father."

Xu Shu controlled Xiao Xiao's body to run to the clan hall.

The main hall was filled with elders, who were holding their daily morning meeting.

Within her sea of ​​consciousness, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but cover her face.

She knew that the family had a daily morning meeting, but the god controlling her didn't know.

Generally speaking, there aren't this many people at the daily morning meeting.

After all, the clan has businesses outside that require some people to be assigned to manage.

but.

Didn't the young patriarch's daughter just a few days ago accomplish the unprecedented feat of obtaining the first spirit ring in a millennium in the history of Douluo Continent?

Of course, these old guys had to rush back for a meeting to place their full bets on this prodigy with the potential to become a god.

Perhaps, in their lifetime, they will see the Zhenhun Sect rise to the same level as the Haotian Sect of yesteryear.

Therefore, although the morning meeting was interrupted, they saw that the visitor was none other than their own prodigy.

The old men in the lobby changed their expressions faster than anyone else.

If the collateral descendants outside the family were to see their usually imposing Soul Saint elders become so approachable, they would be utterly astonished.

"Xiao Xiao, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

The elderly man, seated in the center of the hall, waved his hand, signaling the morning meeting to be paused.

Xiao Chen, the current sect master of the Soul Suppressing Sect, a level 78 support-type Soul Saint, is also Xiao Xiao's grandfather.

"Um, Grandpa, at my current cultivation speed, I think I'll be able to reach level 20 next year."

"Therefore, I want my father to have a soul guidance room built next to my room to study the production of soul guidance devices."

"Next year when I hunt soul beasts, I want to try doing it myself with the help of a soul tool."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the lobby was a bit off, Xu Shu knew that he must have triggered a special event before some prerequisite was met.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Shu first revealed his current leveling speed in hopes of increasing his reputation, and then at the crucial moment, he converted the blacksmith shop into a soul guidance room to elevate his goals and aspirations.

According to the original setting, Soul Masters had to forge the metal themselves when making Soul Tools.

I might as well just go for it all at once.

"You'll reach level 20 next year! By the way, according to the records, it takes about 1-2 years for a Soul Master with full innate Soul Power to reach level 20. With Xiao Xiao absorbing such high-quality Soul Rings and Soul Bones, it's indeed time for her to break through to level 20 next year."

Sitting in the main seat, Xiao Chen murmured to himself that he had accepted the fact.

"Okay, I agree to your request. Your soul guidance room will be completed tomorrow."
