Chapter 47: Chapter 46 New Mission, Revelation in the Grass_1
"Ding, mission release. Revelation in the Grass. Make Tang Hao confess the truth about the past and disappoint Ah Yin. Note: This mission can be assisted by the System."
"Mission reward: 1000 Skill Points, one 'Fundamentals of Swordsmanship: The True Interpretation'."
"'Fundamentals of Swordsmanship: The True Interpretation': Originating from a powerful swordsmanship plane, this basic sword technique forms the foundation of all swordsmanship, containing countless mysteries. Numerous swordsmanship experts regard the basic sword technique as a classic, and some have even derived invincible sword moves from it, setting foot on an undefeatable path. The Great Dao is Simple, and 'Fundamentals of Swordsmanship: The True Interpretation' offers simple explanations for various sword maneuvers like chopping, parrying, picking, and cleaving, which are very suitable for the protagonist."
"Holy shit, 1000 Skill Points and other rewards too. The rewards this time are so generous?" Xu Ran couldn't help but inhale sharply in surprise. If he completed this mission, he would have a total of 1600 Skill Points. He could add the equivalent of sixteen thousand years of Soul Ring age. Of course, he could also choose to draw prizes. Even with bad luck, he would still have the guarantee of a ten consecutive draw."
"Of course, lah. Who told the 'Host' brother to be so good? Hee hee." The System Miss giggled, blatantly giving the 'Host' some cheats, which wasn't a problem at all. She just increased the 'Host's' rewards a bit. Otherwise, if the 'Host' couldn't accumulate enough Skill Points, how would she transform? And how would she serve the 'Host' better in the future?"
Moreover, after transforming, she could go out to play, shop, eat, and spend time with the 'Host' just like a normal person. In this world, she only knew the 'Host'. She didn't recognize or pay attention to anyone else.
After transforming, she could wear beautiful little dresses for the 'Host' to see. It didn't matter what she wore in the System Space, even if it was nothing, because no one would care.
But once she transformed, she could dress up for the 'Host' to see. She had many mini-skirts that she would only wear for the 'Host' to see, no one else."
"Sweet System, you're just too good. Once I have enough Skill Points, I will definitely enable the System to transform, and then I'll know if the System Miss is pretty," Xu Ran laughed, he couldn't help but be curious. If he made the System Miss a part of his 'Harem,' how many Skill Points would that yield? Wouldn't that be an endless resource to tap into?"
"Host brother, you can't think about those things. Even if this System were to transform, I would abide by the rules and not give the Host brother any backdoor advantages." In the System Space, System Miss wore a black mini-skirt and a pair of black pantyhose that hugged her perfect legs, as she sat on a fragrant bed, gently swinging her silken-clad feet. Sensing Xu Ran's thoughts, she couldn't help but purse her lips into a smile."
"Then I'm really at a disadvantage," Xu Ran suppressed that unrealistic thought in his mind. Originally, he thought about wooing the System, and then he wouldn't just freeload on System Miss, but also get countless Skill Points for free."
At that time, he would be invincible.
But, the idea sounded wholly unrealistic at a glance. If the System Miss really gave him such a cheat, perhaps the System itself would receive some kind of punishment. That was something he did not want to see.
Alright, let's just work hard and accumulate Skill Points bit by bit. Working hard and being a working man isn't too bad either.
As the saying goes, working people have their own nobility. I will work quietly, then dazzle everyone...
As long as I develop sneakily and slowly accumulate Skill Points, it won't be long before I reach the peak of life, become invincible across the Continent, and win over countless beauties...
…
Following the System's guidance, Xu Ran found the restraint that Tang Hao had placed on the Blue Silver Grass that Ah Yin had transformed into. After all, Ah Yin was vulnerable to soul beasts like the Soft Bone Rabbit when outdoors, and the restraint by Tang Hao could help her avoid threats from common soul beasts.
"Break." Xu Ran gathered Soul Power and pressed it on a leaf of Ah Yin's Blue Silver Grass, instantly destroying the restraint set by Tang Hao.
At the same time, Xu Ran found a Blue Silver Grass that had been eaten down to the roots by insects and carefully transplanted it there. He then oldened the surroundings so that even if Tang Hao came, he wouldn't find anything unusual.
"Everything is ready; just waiting for Tang Hao to arrive now. When Tang Hao comes, there might be a tough battle to fight, but with the Ten Thousand Years Qilin Experience Card, there's no need to worry too much."
Xu Ran finished all this and immediately left, finding a secret place to hide.
Without need for elaboration, he was planning how to impress Tang Hao later on for the System missy. After all, the "System" could assist with this mission.
...
Saint Soul Village.
At this moment, Tang Hao was lying in bed, dressed in patched clothing, disheveled and with curly, messy hair, his face marked by dark circles. No one could imagine that this was the once-famous powerhouse who shook the Continent, Hao Tian Douluo.
He became a Titled Douluo and single-handedly repelled several fellow Titled Douluos.
It was rumored that the former Pope, Qian Xun Ji, died by his hand.
In response to this, Tang Hao could only curse and shoulder the blame. Only he knew that he had merely injured Qian Xun Ji. Qian Xun Ji's strength was not weak; with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, how could he possibly have the strength to kill Qian Xun Ji? He only exploded in power due to the "Explosion Ring". Such power couldn't last; injuring Qian Xun Ji was already good enough.
He was very clear in his heart that it must have been Bi Bidong who killed Qian Xun Ji, then pinned the crime on him. But now he was beyond defense, as Qian Xun Ji had died while pursuing him and Ah Yin. How could he argue his case?
Bi Bidong was now the Pope, and the Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, who participated in the pursuit of him back then, had already pledged loyalty to Bi Bidong. Others were dead.
With just his word, who would believe that it was Bi Bidong who killed Qian Xun Ji?
"Woe is me, Hao Tian Douluo, to have fallen to such a state. Is this karmic retribution?" Tang Hao muttered to himself, feeling unsettled. He thought of Ah Yin; she was so beautiful in his heart, with celestial-like beautiful eyes and a gentle character as smooth as jade. Any man who got such a woman would feel unbelievably lucky.
Yet he had committed an unforgivable wrong against Ah Yin.
As his "Cultivation Level" approached that of a Titled Douluo, the thought inevitably arose in his mind. Only Titled Douluos with hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings could truly be called powerhouses, and only then could one have the chance to cultivate to the level 99 Soul Master limit.
However, hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were too difficult to hunt. Even if one could beat them, it was very hard to kill them.
So, if he wanted to possess a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and enter the rank of a Titled Douluo in the most perfect manner, there was only one choice.
And that was Ah Yin.
When Ah Yin died, he regretted it. It was only then that he understood how important Ah Yin was in his heart. Strength was meant to protect the ones he cherished; when the one he valued was no longer there, having more strength was meaningless.
Unfortunately, he realized this truth too late.
Ah Yin was no longer here, and it was impossible for him to make amends.
If he could now have a chance to go back to the past, he definitely would not choose to hurt Ah Yin. He only wanted to live well with Ah Yin.
