Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

She likes Dongqing.

I've liked it since I was a child.

I like it even more now that I'm older.

She didn't understand what love was; she only knew that she always wanted to stay by Dongqing's side. His warm and sunny temperament made her fall for him, both physically and mentally.

...........

the other side.

The Xiao family's residence is located in the back mountain.

On a deserted mountaintop, Xiao Yan was secretly studying the Dou Di Godhood System. He felt that his luck had finally turned around as a transmigrator.

Three years—three years have smoothed out all his rough edges.

During those three years, he also suffered a great deal.

How many three-year periods are there in a lifetime?

But now.

He knew he was about to rise to power; with the help of the system, becoming a god or ancestor wouldn't be difficult.

"Is the system here?" Xiao Yan wondered to himself.

He wasn't stupid. Three years had taught him too many lessons, so whether it was just now or now, he was silently calling on the system in his heart.

"I'm here."

"That Galaxy Force..." Xiao Yan rubbed his hands together excitedly.

Cannot be harmed if one is below the Dou Huang level?

In the Jia Ma Empire... no, in Wutan City, wouldn't I, Xiao Yan, be able to do whatever I want?

"The system has detected that the host's thoughts are extremely dangerous. Please note that while those below the Douhuang level cannot be harmed, this does not mean they cannot capture the host and torture and humiliate him in other ways. The invincible body attached to the Galaxy Force can only guarantee that the host will not die unexpectedly. Please do not rely too much on the invincible body of the Galaxy Force."

These words were spoken.

Xiao Yan gradually calmed down. The saying "those below the Dou Huang level are not to be harmed" didn't mean he could defeat anyone below that level right now. What if he ran into some old hands...?

"System, I think I got a little too cocky just now. Do you really think I'm a qualified host if I can't even control my own emotions?"

A bitter smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips, and he felt ashamed of his arrogance.

in the past.

He was just an extremely ordinary member of the masses; money and beautiful women were like parallel lines to him, never intersecting.

However, upon arriving on this Dou Qi Continent, he was pleasantly surprised to find that, having lived two lives, his soul was far stronger than that of ordinary people!

To know.

In the Dou Qi Continent, the soul is innate.

Although the soul can become slightly stronger with age, there is no cultivation method that can cultivate the soul independently.

Even a Heavenly Rank cultivation technique couldn't achieve that!

This is common knowledge in the Dou Qi Continent.

Having lived two lives, Xiao Yan's powerful soul not only gave him his talent for cultivation but also cemented his reputation as a genius.

To be an ordinary, mediocre person.

After realizing that he had the potential to become the focus of countless people's attention.

Without sufficient willpower, it is difficult to maintain one's true nature. Clearly, in my previous life, I was just an ordinary person and did not possess such superhuman willpower.

Therefore, after he began cultivating battle qi, his personality became arrogant and domineering, and he looked down on people, thus offending everyone in the Xiao family.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Xiao Yan might actually grow bigger and bigger with the title of genius, since no one would dare to mock a growing genius.

Unfortunately, when Xiao Yan was eleven years old, his reputation as a genius was gradually stripped away by a sudden change.

And the genius, overnight, was reduced to a laughingstock among passersby, and everyone began to mock Xiao Yan.

Everything is a consequence of one's own actions.

Xiao Yan did not hate anyone.

It's all his fault for going too far in the past.

"Host, please don't feel inferior. You are a man with the potential to become a Dou Di."

"Dou Di? Even before I became a cripple, I never dreamed of becoming a Dou Di. I only thought that one day I could become a Dou Huang, lead the Xiao family out of Wutan City, and return to the capital of the Jia Ma Empire."

Xiao Yan shook his head bitterly; he was self-aware.

Without the system, he wouldn't even know why his fighting spirit disappeared, and he might be seen as a waste, a fallen genius, for the rest of his life.

He regularly checks his body and finds nothing wrong with it. Even his soul is becoming stronger with age.

Moreover, his speed of absorbing battle qi is even stronger than his peak state a few years ago, which shows that his talent has never diminished.

However, all the fighting energy that entered the body disappeared completely in an instant, as if it had never existed.

This bizarre situation left Xiao Yan feeling deeply saddened.

"Host, believe in yourself. You are a man with the potential to become a Dou Di."

"Perhaps."

Xiao Yan sighed sadly, then raised his hand. On his finger was a black ring, which was very antique and of unknown material. There were also some blurry patterns on it.

This was the only gift Xiao Yan's mother gave him before she died.

He had worn it for ten years since he was four years old. It was his mother's keepsake, which made Xiao Yan feel a deep attachment to it. He gently stroked the ring with his fingers.

"These past few years, I have truly failed my mother's expectations. From now on, I'm afraid I can no longer wear it. I'll take it out and look at it again when I miss you, Mother." A bitter smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.

And just as he was about to take off the ring.

Xiao Yan suddenly turned around and smiled warmly at the dark forest, "Father, you've arrived?"

Although his Dou Qi was only at the pitiful third level, Xiao Yan's soul perception was much more acute than that of a five-star Dou Zhe. When he mentioned his mother earlier, he noticed a slight movement in the woods behind him.

"Yan'er, it's so late, why are you still up here?"

After a moment of silence in the woods, the concerned laughter of a middle-aged man could be heard.

The branches swayed for a moment, and soon a middle-aged man slowly walked out, a smile on his face, gazing at his son standing in the moonlight.

The middle-aged man was dressed in luxurious black clothes. His stride was majestic and imposing, and his thick eyebrows added to his air of grandeur.

He is the current patriarch of the Xiao family and also Xiao Yan's father.

Five-Star Grand Dou Master, Xiao Zhan!

"Father, aren't you still awake?"

Looking at the middle-aged man, Xiao Yan's smile deepened. Perhaps he hadn't drunk the Meng Po soup in his previous life, and thus had memories of his past life from birth.

However, since birth.

This father doted on him so much that he spoiled this honest man.

But this was not because of his talent. After he fell on hard times, the favor he received only increased. Such behavior made Xiao Yan, who had memories of his past life, willingly call him father.

"Yan'er, are you still thinking about the test this afternoon?" Xiao Zhan asked.

"Hehe, what's there to think about? It was expected."

Xiao Yan shook his head with a mature air, but his smile was somewhat forced. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't, because the system was something he didn't want to expose.

Whoever this person is.

"Ugh......."

Looking at Xiao Yan's still somewhat youthful and handsome face, Xiao Zhan sighed, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Yan'er, you're fifteen years old, aren't you?"

"Yes, Father." Xiao Yan nodded.

"In another year, it seems like it will be time for my coming-of-age ceremony!"

Xiao Zhan revealed the same bitter smile as Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan was his son, and over the years, he hadn't learned anything else, but he had learned the same bitter smile perfectly.

“Yes, Father, there’s still one year left!” Xiao Yan replied calmly.

What does a coming-of-age ceremony represent?

He was naturally very clear about it.

Once he passes the coming-of-age ceremony, having no potential for cultivation, he will be disqualified from entering the Xiao family's Dou Qi Pavilion to search for Dou Qi cultivation techniques. Instead, he will be assigned to various family businesses to manage ordinary assets.

This is the Xiao family's clan rule. Even if his father is the clan leader, it cannot be changed. Because if a member of the Xiao family does not become a Dou Zhe before the age of twenty-five, he will not be recognized by the family, even if he is the son of the Xiao family clan leader.

Rules are rules.

He also has to follow the rules.

But now...

"Hmph! Grandpa Xiao Yan has a system now, just you wait and see." Xiao Yan sneered inwardly.

He didn't harbor much hatred towards the Xiao family members, after all, he had brought some things upon himself.

Perhaps this idea is a bit naive.

But after being called a good-for-nothing and a fallen genius for so many years, Xiao Yan really couldn't wait to slap them in the face and let those snobs know...

What does it mean to say "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river"? Never underestimate a young person's potential!

“I’m sorry, Yan’er. If your fighting spirit doesn’t reach the seventh level after a year, according to the family’s rules, I will have to reluctantly assign you to the family’s business. After all, this family is not ruled by me alone. There are a few old guys in the family who are always waiting for me to make a mistake.”

Looking at the calm Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan felt a little guilty.

"Father, don't worry, I will work hard. I will definitely reach the seventh level of Dou Qi in a year!" Xiao Yan comforted him with a smile.

joke.

With this system, from now on, my rules will be the absolute rules in the Xiao family!

Unfortunately.
