Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Starting with a supporting role in Doupo, written by Xin Chen

I transmigrated into the world of Battle Through the Heavens and was bound to the Strongest Supporting Character System.

Having awakened the Chaotic Flame Body, the Chaotic Flame, as a companion flame, can devour the origin of other flames and perfectly replicate all other flames in the world.

After half a year of hard training only to find that the rewards from a single system task were less substantial, Xiao Fan's journey through Doupo began to take a turn for the better.

Xiao Fan: Junior brother, look at the Buddha's Wrath Lotus I created! Xiao Fan: Sasha, look at the shoes I bought for you.

Xiao Fan: Little Fairy Doctor, do you still remember the promise under the starry sky? During the battle between the two emperors, the top expert beside the Soul Emperor took off his mask: Clan leader, I'm sorry, I had no choice before, but now I want to be a good person!

Chapter 1, The Strongest Supporting Character System

Xiao Fan woke up in his room and stared blankly at the ancient-style ceiling above him.

Where am I? Wasn't I watching this at home? How did I suddenly end up here?

"Ding, host unconsciousness detected. Stimulation mode applied."

Ah ah~

Before he could react, Xiao Fan was jolted awake by a jolt of electricity, but he understood what it meant.

Looks like I've transmigrated!! And there's a system too, isn't this the perfect protagonist template? My mission now is to unify the continent and save the world.

Just then, Xiao Fan heard, "The host's erroneous thoughts have been detected. Please proceed with the beginner's tutorial."

Upon hearing the system's message, Xiao Fan quickly accepted the system's newbie gift pack, only to find that it contained a simple explanation. There was no mention of a hundred consecutive draws at the start, nor any promise of an unparalleled protagonist template. There was only the system name: "The Strongest Supporting Character System—I Want to Be the Strongest Supporting Character in All Realms."

The Strongest Supporting Character System

Host: Xiao Fan

Level: 1 (1100)

Strength: Battle Qi, Level 6

Skills: None

Fighting skills: none

Task: None

Xiao Fan was stunned. The strongest supporting character? Does that mean he can no longer be invincible in the world? Has his dream of being the protagonist been shattered?

But Xiao Fan also realized that he had transmigrated to the world of Battle Through the Heavens, which was not so bad.

In his previous life, Xiao Fan was a hardcore reader of Battle Through the Heavens, having read it no less than twenty times. Moreover, Xiao Yan was loyal and righteous, so as long as he clung to this powerful figure, he would definitely be able to survive until the end. Fortunately, it wasn't a world entangled with blue silver, otherwise he wouldn't even know how he was sold out!

With this in mind, Xiao Fan, adopting a "what's done is done" attitude, began to accept his identity and started to learn about the system.

"System, what are the functions of the Strongest Supporting Character System?!"

"The system detected that the host's current level is too low, therefore subsequent functions cannot be activated. The host can only accept main quests to gain experience points." A quest panel then popped up.

Task 1: Help Xiao Yan unify the Dou Qi Continent. Reward: 1 million experience points, 10 Heaven-rank cultivation techniques, and 10 Heaven-rank fighting skills.

Task Two: Help the Soul Emperor unify the Dou Qi Continent. Reward: 100 million experience points, 10 Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques, and 10 Heavenly Rank fighting skills.

Please select the main quest.

Xiao Fan was stunned when he saw the two main quests.

"Can I even help the Soul Emperor unify the Dou Qi Continent?" Without a second thought, Xiao Fan skipped mission two and chose to accept mission one.

Even if the Soul Emperor didn't recognize you, he would still choose Xiao Yan! If you don't trust Xiao Yan's character, are you going to choose a ruthless villain? You probably wouldn't even know how you died.

"Ding, the system has been activated. The host has accepted the main mission. The mission has a ten-year time limit. Failure will result in elimination. The host is expected to help Xiao Yan to unify the Dou Qi Continent as soon as possible."

As the system voice finished speaking, Xiao Fan's task panel changed.

The Strongest Supporting Character System

Host: Xiao Fan

Level: 1 (1100)

Strength: Battle Qi, Level 6

Skills: None

Fighting skills: none

main mission:

Xiao Yan has suffered a setback. As the strongest supporting character, you must seize the opportunity to encourage him and help him regain his spirits! Reward: 100 experience points, Alchemist talent.

Whether to accept or not.

Xiao Fan was stunned when he saw the last few words, "to be annihilated." Ten years to help Xiao Yan, a mere third-stage Dou Qi cultivator, unify the Dou Qi Continent? Xiao Fan was completely bewildered, but unfortunately, he couldn't undo it now that he had accepted it.

Xiao Fan noticed that his task panel had also changed. It seemed that helping Xiao Yan unify the Dou Qi Continent was the final task, so it wouldn't be displayed now. Next, he would have to do the main quests to increase his favorability with Xiao Yan and level up.

Having no choice but to accept this news, Xiao Fan began to seriously inspect his room, only to find it quite messy. It seemed he wasn't exactly a core member of the Xiao family after all!

Through the system, Xiao Fan understood what time it was: it was right at the beginning of Battle Through the Heavens, the moment when Xiao Yan's Dou Qi was detected to be at the third level.

Xiao Fan arrived at the courtyard where the Xiao family was testing their disciples, just as that classic line rang out.

"Fighting Qi, third stage!"

Hearing the voice coming from the stage, Xiao Fan also looked at the boy who was being tested on the stage.

The boy on the stage was expressionless, his clenched hands were so tight that Xiao Fan even suspected his fingernails had dug into his flesh.

The people around Xiao Yan laughed mockingly.

"Three stages? As expected, this genius is stuck in the same place again this year."

"This good-for-nothing has completely disgraced the Xiao family."

.......

Hearing the mockery of Xiao Yan from those around him, Xiao Fan smiled inwardly. You're all too young! This is the future Flame Emperor. Now, watch how I win Xiao Yan's heart and become the strongest supporting character in Battle Through the Heavens.

Ignoring Xiao Yan's expression, the steward on the stage rolled his eyes at him and read out the next list of people to be tested.

"Next, Xiao Mei."

Xiao Fan looked at the girl walking onto the stage and thought she was quite pretty. After all, in this world where cultivation is possible, acne and such would have long been eliminated by battle qi. Although Xiao Mei looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, how bad could someone who could rival Xiao Xun'er in beauty alongside Xiao Yan when they were young be?

As expected, Xiao Mei's Dou Qi was detected at the same level as in the original novel: level seven, advanced.

Everyone fawned over Xiao Mei, and if Xiao Fan remembered correctly, Xiao Xun'er was next on stage.

If Xiao Mei's seventh-level Dou Qi was something to be envied and jealous of, then Xiao Xun'er's ninth-level Dou Qi would only silence these mortals. After all, she was a true prodigy. Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Xun'er on the stage and was slightly taken aback.

As expected of the eldest daughter of an ancient clan, and as expected of the future Empress of the Yan Emperor. At only fourteen or fifteen years old, she already displays a beauty that could topple kingdoms. Unfortunately, Xiao Xun'er is already deeply in love with Xiao Yan, and I have no chance of stealing her away.

Watching Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er slowly disappear into the distance amidst the crowd, Xiao Fan could only envy Xiao Yan. He transmigrated to the world of Doupo and ended up with a girl like Xiao Xun'er. As a fellow transmigrator, he could only be a supporting character to Xiao Yan.

After waiting a while longer, his name was finally called. After all, this test was required of all disciples in the clan, and he was no exception.

"Next up, Xiao Fan."

Xiao Fan walked up to the testing magic stone tablet, looking at it with curiosity. After all, it was impossible for someone who was a modern person from the 21st century just one day to find himself on a continent where only battle qi existed.

Xiao Fan slowly placed his hand on the stone tablet, feeling a special energy within it flow into his body through his palm, circulate once, and then flow out again. Just then, Xiao Fan heard the voice of the testing deacon.

"Xiao Fan, Battle Qi, Sixth Stage! Level: Intermediate."

A sixth-level Dou Qi isn't considered exceptionally talented within the family, but it's still considered above average. The testing steward gave Xiao Fan a satisfied look and then let him leave.

After leaving the courtyard, Xiao Fan returned to his room to rest for a while and began to think about future plans. After all, it would be very difficult to help Xiao Yan unify the Dou Qi Continent in ten years, since Xiao Yan was only at the third stage of Dou Qi at the moment.

As dusk settled, he headed towards the back mountain. He figured Xiao Yan was probably wallowing in self-pity there after the afternoon's test. He needed to go and comfort Xiao Yan, and maybe finish some system tasks.

Chapter 2 Useless? No, you're a genius.

Walking on the road in this other world, Xiao Fan felt a strange sense of incongruity looking at these buildings that were both unfamiliar and familiar. One day it was skyscrapers and bustling traffic, and the next day it was ancient architecture and the clash of fighting spirits.

Upon arriving at the back of the mountain, Xiao Fan immediately spotted Xiao Yan lying on the grass. Xiao Yan also heard the footsteps and turned around curiously, as this place was usually deserted.

Upon seeing Xiao Fan, Xiao Yan was also taken aback. Xiao Fan's parents had both died during a mission, but they had preserved the important medicinal herbs of the Xiao family. In addition, Xiao Fan's talent was above average in the family, so Xiao Fan's life in the Xiao family was relatively easy.

But whether it was his glorious past or his current downfall, his interactions with him were pitifully few. Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt a surge of irritation.

When Xiao Fan saw Xiao Yan turn to look at him, he asked casually, "Did I disturb you?"

Xiao Yan was taken aback by Xiao Fan's words. Usually, everyone in the family would mock and ridicule him, but this was the first time someone had spoken to him like this. Feeling a surge of warmth in his heart, he said, "This isn't a place that belongs solely to me, so there's no question of whether I should disturb you."

Xiao Fan sat down next to Xiao Yan, looked up at the vast and deep starry sky of this other world, and said, "What do you think is outside this starry sky?"

Xiao Yan was taken aback by Xiao Fan's question. Recalling his memories of his past life, he said, "Maybe it's another continent. Maybe they also cultivate Dou Qi. Maybe it's a world without Dou Qi, where people live in peace and prosperity, without riots or magical beasts..." As he spoke, Xiao Yan began to miss the peaceful world of his past life. Unfortunately... he could never go back.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Fan replied calmly, "Perhaps. I really want to see the world you speak of, what it's like without battle qi."

Xiao Yan found Xiao Fan's reaction quite strange. "Don't you think what I said was a bit vague? I thought you were going to mock me. In the Xiao family, your attitude towards me is quite special."

Xiao Fan glanced at Xiao Yan and smiled slightly.

"They mocked you? They said you were nothing more than a fallen genius?"

Xiao Yan laughed a few times upon hearing Xiao Fan's words.
