Douluo Continent: The original Yu Xiaogang brutally defeats Tang San at the start.

Notting City, Junior Soul Master Academy.

The playground was bustling with noise as the annual Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony was underway.

The sunlight was a bit dazzling. Amidst the noisy chatter of children, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

An unfamiliar ceiling, an unfamiliar environment, and... a torrent of memories that don't belong to me.

"Have I...time-traveled?"

Lin Yuan's gaze gradually shifted from confusion to shock, and finally to an indescribable bitterness.

He transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, a world he was extremely familiar with in his previous life.

But his transmigrated identity made him anything but happy.

Yu Xiaogang.

A "master" who was hailed as the number one in martial soul theory, yet could never break through level 29 in his lifetime, and was ridiculed by the entire soul master world.

"God, are you playing a joke on me?"

Lin Yuan wailed inwardly.

In his previous life, he was a young man who was well-versed in online novels and knew all about the benefits and treatment of transmigrators.

Others who transmigrate are either protagonists with unparalleled skills or villains with overwhelming backgrounds. How come I became a useless Great Soul Master with a Soul Power of Level 29?

Just as Lin Yuan was feeling sorry for himself, a boy of about six years old ran towards him with a hopeful look on his face.

The boy had an ordinary appearance and healthy wheat-colored skin, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, full of longing for the future.

It's him, Tang San!

Lin Yuan's heart sank.

He knew what was going to happen next.

According to the original plot, after Tang San awakens his martial soul, he will come to me with his innate full soul power and his twin martial souls, which are considered "useless," and I will eventually wash away my reputation as a waste and become a "royal teacher" because of Tang San.

But so what?

Ultimately, Yu Xiaogang's achievements are almost entirely built upon the halo of Tang San, the protagonist.

He himself remained a useless person whose soul power could not improve at all throughout his life.

"Am I destined to spend my entire life bearing this label of 'good-for-nothing,' serving as Tang San's theoretical advisor, and watching him ascend to godhood?"

Lin Yuan clenched his fists involuntarily, his eyes filled with resentment.

Do not!

He absolutely refused to accept this fate!

[Ding! Strong feelings of resentment detected in the host, meeting the system binding requirements.]

[The "Abuse Tang San to Become a God" system is currently being bound...]

[10%...50%...100%!]

[System binding successful!]

A cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in Lin Yuan's mind.

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes burst with wild joy!

system!

The time traveler's cheat code has arrived!

"A system to become a god by tormenting Tang San?"

Lin Yuan silently recited the name in his heart, and the corners of his mouth uncontrollably turned up wildly.

This name is practically tailor-made for him!

[System Rule Released:]

[1. The host can inflict both physical and mental pain on Tang San, the protagonist of this world, through any means, causing drastic fluctuations in his emotions.]

[2. The higher Tang San's pain level, the more points the host will receive.]

3. Points can be redeemed for all items in the system shop, including but not limited to Soul Power level, Soul Ring age, and Martial Soul evolution opportunities.

[4. The system will issue tasks periodically and provide an "Opportunity Radar" function to help the host intercept Tang San's opportunities.]

[5. The greater the blow the host inflicts on Tang San, the higher Tang San's level of corruption will be. Reaching a specific stage of corruption will trigger a surprise reward.]

Lin Yuan greedily read through the system's rules, his smile growing ever brighter.

Will making Tang San suffer make him stronger?

This is simply the most wonderful thing in the world!

Having been familiar with the plot, he knew exactly where Tang San had his opportunities and where his weaknesses lay.

This isn't a system; it's clearly a broad road leading to the throne of gods!

"Master, Master!"

The clear, childlike voice interrupted Lin Yuan's thoughts.

Tang San had already run up to him, slightly out of breath, and bowed respectfully.

"Master, my name is Tang San, my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and I possess innate full soul power. I... I wish to become your disciple!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his head expectantly, looking at Lin Yuan with his clear eyes, waiting for the approval of this theoretical master.

In Tang San's eyes, in the entire Notting Academy, and even in the entire Notting City, only the master in front of him could see through the secret of his twin martial souls, and only he was worthy to be his teacher.

However, what he received was not the excitement of finding a treasure as described in the original story, but a pair of extremely cold eyes.

Lin Yuan looked down at Tang San, a faint hint of mockery playing on his lips.

He spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but it was like a bucket of ice water poured from Tang San's head to his feet.

"Blue Silver Grass? Innate full soul power?"

Lin Yuan chuckled and shook his head.

"It's nothing but the most useless martial soul in the world. Even if it has full innate soul power, so what? It's destined to be a waste for the rest of its life."

"You are not worthy to be my disciple."

indifferent!

Heartless!

Every word was like a sharp steel needle, piercing Tang San's young heart.

Tang San's expectant expression froze instantly, turning into disbelief.

He stood there dumbfounded, completely unable to understand why this master, whom he admired so much, would say such hurtful words.

waste?

The word, spoken by the person he respected most, was a thousand times more lethal than any other.

[Ding! Detected severe emotional fluctuations in Tang San, indicating a significant emotional impact. Pain level +10!]

[Congratulations, host, on your first successful defeat of Tang San! You have received a newbie gift pack: 100 points!]

The system notification sounded in Lin Yuan's mind, making him almost overflow with joy.

Sure enough, refusing Tang San's offer to become his disciple was the best start!

Seeing Tang San's dejected and seemingly collapsed state, Lin Yuan felt no pity, only a twisted sense of pleasure.

Tang San, this is just the beginning.

Your past glory, your future opportunities, and everything around you will be taken away by my own hands!

And you, you only deserve to struggle painfully in my shadow!

Just then, the system's voice sounded again.

[Ding! System Opportunity Radar activated!]

[An orange-tier opportunity detected: "Eye of the Spiritual Spring".]

[Location of the opportunity: 8 kilometers east of Notting Academy, inside a hidden cave on the outskirts of the Soul Hunter Forest.]

[Opportunity Effect: After absorption, it can increase the Soul Master's Soul Power by 1 level, cleanse the Martial Soul, remove impurities, and enhance cultivation talent.]

[Plot Development: After being rejected by the host, the protagonist Tang San will travel to that location three days later to absorb the spiritual spring based on his memories from his previous life, as his first boost to his rise.]

Looking at the virtual map that appeared in his mind, and the marker that was flashing with orange light, a burning desire flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

The Eye of the Spirit Spring!

Tang San's first cheat code!

Now, it's mine!

Lin Yuan ignored Tang San, who was still standing there in a daze, turned around and left without looking back.

He had to set off tonight and seize this opportunity before Tang San could react.

"Tang San, you'd never guess..."

As Lin Yuan walked back to his dormitory, he inwardly sneered.

"Your former guide is now becoming your gravedigger!"
