Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 66 Past Events

From the initial meadow to the final sacred steps, the layout of the Angel's Tomb is actually quite simple. The initial meadow poses no threat whatsoever; in fact, it offers some benefits to those who enter, as the Angel's Tomb embraces those with sacred souls. However, upon reaching the Sacred River, the degree of sacredness of one's martial soul must be initially tested. If it's too low, the river cannot be crossed.

The next group of soul beasts was the only place in the entire Angel's Tomb that truly tested one's character. Each soul beast was a temptation, and Meng Yan, for example, failed to resist the temptation and fought each one in turn. As a result, the suddenly stronger soul beasts caught him off guard.

Greed is like a demon hidden deep in people's hearts. Once it is easily awakened, it will follow you like a shadow and gradually erode reason and judgment.

This explains why Lin Ci and Mo Yu suddenly received a surge of pure energy after leaving the flat ground. It was a reward for overcoming their greed. As for the final sacred steps, that was the truly serious part. Without a powerful divine nature supporting their martial soul, it would be impossible to cross those steps.

Of those thirty-six people, including himself, he estimated that no more than three would actually make it through the final sacred staircase.

After passing the sacred steps, Lin Ci concealed his aura and then surveyed the core area of ​​the Angel's Tomb.

Here, the stillness seemed to freeze time itself. Soft and holy light spread from all directions, dreamlike and ethereal, yet exuding a sacred and inviolable majesty.

In the very center stand three enormous angel statues, each occupying a triangular position, their longswords pressed together.

Beneath the two swords locked in combat was a golden orb of light, dazzling and bright, yet endlessly vibrant.

When Lin Ci looked at him, she felt as if her martial spirit was about to burst forth.

"It's not bad at all." Lin Ci looked it over, suppressed the restlessness of his martial spirit, and was just about to move forward.

"I never expected that someone other than me could get into this final core."

An arrogant voice slowly drifted from not far away, temporarily interrupting Lin Ci's steps. The blond-haired boy looked at him haughtily.

Lin Ci frowned slightly, not wanting to pay any attention to the other person.

But the blond youth remained aggressive, saying disdainfully, "I advise you to crush the token and leave as soon as possible. You have no chance at all in competing with me for this last opportunity."

Lin Ci remained calm, his gaze sweeping over the blond-haired youth as he coldly said, "Is this Angel's Tomb yours? And now you're trying to persuade me?"

The blond boy, on the contrary, felt it was perfectly reasonable and chuckled, "Actually, if you insist, this Angel's Tomb could really be considered my family's. What, haven't you heard of the Yue family?"

Lin Ci said, "I've only heard of the Qian family."

The blond boy's lips twitched slightly, somewhat surprised: "You know about the Qian family?"

Lin Ci ignored him and walked straight ahead.

"If that's the case, then you should also know that the Holy Angel Martial Soul is inherited from the Angel God. In front of the Holy Angel Martial Soul, you won't get anything from the last thing here, so why waste your time?"

This time, Yue Zhengyu toned down his arrogance somewhat, but his words remained domineering. In his eyes, the Angel's Tomb belonged to their Angel family. No one was more qualified than him to possess what lay within.

Lin Ci ignored the warning and continued walking towards the golden halo that emitted a mysterious light.

Upon seeing this, Yue Zhengyu's face instantly darkened. He flashed forward and blocked Lin Ci's path. "I've already tried to reason with you, but since you won't listen, I'll show you what an angelic family really is!"

As he spoke, Yue Zhengyu's body shone brightly, and a pair of dazzling golden wings slowly emerged from his back, indicating that the Holy Angel Martial Soul had already possessed him.

The next moment, he flew straight towards the center, at an exceptionally fast speed.

He glanced at the golden group that was almost within reach, then looked at Lin Ci who was far behind, and chuckled softly.

To argue with him is foolish.

Just as he was about to touch the golden ball of light, when he was still three meters away, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from the ball of light.

The sudden burst of golden light was like an ancient beast awakening, unleashing a devastating power. Le Zhengyu felt an irresistible impact hit him, and he was instantly flung away like a kite with a broken string.

Golden light began to spread from the ball of light, completely covering the three angel statues beside it, as if they had come to life.

The three angel statues, completely enveloped in golden light, seemed to come alive, their bodies shimmering with light. The once still statues began to move slowly. A holy and majestic light shone in their eyes, and the longswords pressed together in their hands trembled slightly, their blades gleaming with golden light.

At this moment, the ball of light began to tremble, gradually taking shape and forming a golden humanoid phantom.

However, it was still bathed in golden light, appearing to be a humanoid figure composed of a golden ball of light. Its appearance was completely obscured.

Le Zhengyu, disregarding his disheveled appearance, hurriedly scrambled to his feet, then knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Le Zhengyu, heir of the Holy Angel Family, greets the Angel God."

Lin Ci, who was standing to the side, had also stopped walking, but one of her hands was unconsciously clenched.

But the golden phantom did not answer anyone, nor did it make a sound. It simply stood there slowly.

After a long while, seeing no action, Yue Zhengyu gritted his teeth and said, "Yue Zhengyu of the Angel Family requests the blessing of the Angel God."

The latest novel is first published here!

This time, the golden phantom moved.

Le Zhengyu's face lit up with joy; it seemed he was about to receive a reward.

But the angelic phantom pointed a finger, not at Le Zhengyu, but at Lin Ci.

Le Zhengyu looked incredulous. How could this be? He was the inheritor of the Angel Family and the true Holy Angel Martial Soul. Why didn't the Angel God choose him?

A dazzling golden light burst forth from the golden phantom and slowly poured into Lin Ci.

This power was incredibly warm, like the gentlest sunlight in spring, slowly seeping into every inch of Lin Ci's skin, flowing along his meridians, and nourishing his martial spirit. Lin Ci felt as if his soul was being gently enveloped, and all his weariness and pain vanished in that instant.

But even in such a comfortable environment, Lin Ci inexplicably recalled that most painful memory.

……

Twenty thousand years ago, in Tiandou City.

Even at night, the Crown Prince's palace in the Heavenly Dou City Imperial Palace was still brightly lit.

The young man was working on something at his desk, writing something, when someone walked in through the door.

The young man glanced up, then continued working on his things, simply asking, "Uncle Yu, is something wrong so late?"

The man addressed as Uncle Yu sighed, "These things can be dealt with when His Highness returns; why wait so long..."

The young man smiled and didn't seem to mind: "Xiaoxue still has to inherit the position of the angel god, and she's been running around a lot lately. I'll take care of these things for her."

Yu Long looked at the young man intently, seemed to hesitate for a long time, and finally said, "His Highness has just returned and is waiting for you in the square outside."
