Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

Author: Mo Nu

Summary:

"Transmigrating to the Douluo Continent, I transformed into Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, took Tang San as my disciple, and taught Tang San the 'Complete Knowledge of Soul Masters and Soul Beasts,' triggering a ten-thousand-fold return and obtaining the 'Book of Divine Dragon Inheritance,' and my Martial Soul underwent its ultimate evolution into the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon!"

Is Tang San's worldview flawed?

I will step in and guide him onto the right path!

Shrek is too trash?

Then let me create a god-level Shrek!

You're calling me a scumbag?

Okay, I admit it.

Chapter 1 What?! I became Yu Xiaogang!

"This is impossible!"

"That's absolutely impossible!"

"I've actually time-traveled?"

"Where did my handsome face go?!"

Chen Luo looked at the unremarkable middle-aged man's face in the mirror and his mentality completely collapsed.

A buzz cut, advanced age, and a颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, or颓废) – each of these factors is a fatal blow.

Nothing else matters, how could I, so handsome, have turned into this?!

"and many more!"

Chen Luo seemed to have suddenly discovered something, his eyes widening involuntarily: "This face seems familiar..."

A strange sense of familiarity suddenly arose in Chen Luo's heart, and then it became uncontrollable. A face suddenly appeared in Chen Luo's mind, which perfectly overlapped with his own reflection in the mirror.

"Holy crap! Yu Xiaogang!!!"

Chen Luo's mentality was even more shattered.

He pinched his face hard, and the pain made him hiss involuntarily.

This isn't a dream...

Why the hell isn't this a dream?!

Last night, Chen Luo was quietly liking comments criticizing Yu Xiaogang in the comment section of short videos about Douluo Continent. When he woke up, he found himself transformed into Yu Xiaogang.

Are you just playing around here?

Chen Luo's current appearance is similar to that of Yu Xiaogang in the anime. While not exactly the same, they are at least 70-80% alike.

Calm down! You absolutely must calm down!

Just then, a cold, mechanical, synthesized voice suddenly rang in Chen Luo's mind—

[Congratulations on becoming the 9527th host of the "Teaching Disciples, Ten Thousand Times the Return" System - Multiverse Edition!]

[By showing favor to your disciple, you have a chance to receive a reward ten thousand times greater.]

[You are currently in the world of Douluo Continent.]

Your current identity is Yu Xiaogang.

[Once you complete all the tasks assigned by the system in the current world, you can return to your original world and randomly gain one ability.]

As the notification sounded, a holographic panel appeared in front of Chen Luo, displaying the messages that had just been displayed.

After the last prompt ended, the panel suddenly changed, directly displaying the task interface.

[New player quest: Take on apprentices.]

[Task objective: Recruit a disciple with an evaluation rating of S or higher.]

[Quest Reward: Marrow Cleansing Pill]

[Note: A target that meets the mission requirements will appear soon. Please be prepared!]

The appearance of the system instantly swept away Chen Luo's complicated emotions, leaving only ecstasy.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Luo felt a sharp pain in his brain, and all his memories of Yu Xiaogang flooded back into his mind.

After a short while, Chen Luo had completely adapted.

With time travel and a system, I've practically taken off on my own!

Although, this identity is somewhat awkward...

As a young man from Earth, Chen Luo was heavily influenced by novels and anime. He could write a book about this kind of transmigration and system plot on the spot, so he quickly accepted the current situation. Besides, he had no choice but to accept it.

"As for returning after completing all the tasks, it's probably not just a chance to go back, but also a ticket to other worlds. After all, this system has the words 'all the heavens' in it, but that's all a long way off. Let's focus on surviving in this world first..."

"With the system, let alone Yu Xiaogang, even the most useless person can still grow stronger step by step until they reach the very top!"

"The first step to becoming stronger is to complete the beginner quests!"

After carefully reviewing the task details, Chen Luo's gaze fell on the "Attention" notice at the bottom of the task panel. A subtle smile appeared on his lips: "This so-called newbie task is just the system giving out a newbie gift pack in disguise. It's telling me the task objective is about to appear, so what are we waiting for? Let's get started!"

Chen Luo hadn't read Douluo Continent for a long time, but he was still quite clear about the plot. Even though Douluo Continent had been criticized for many things later on, it was the first novel Chen Luo had ever read, and it left a deep impression on him.

The days of staying up all night reading novels are long gone.

Later, when the Douluo Continent anime appeared, he followed it for a while.

Having a certain understanding of Douluo Continent, Chen Luo immediately guessed the goal of his newbie mission, based on his own identity.

"If nothing unexpected happens, my disciple who is at least S-rank will be Tang San."

In the Douluo Continent novel, Yu Xiaogang only had one disciple, Tang San. Moreover, Yu Xiaogang didn't need to do much; Tang San immediately knelt down. Why not take a disciple who offered himself up?

Chen Luo looked out the window at the group of energetic teenagers on the playground in the distance, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Further away, the words "Notting College" can be faintly seen.

After stretching his body briefly, Chen Luo opened the door and went out.

The distance from his residence to the academy gate was neither far nor near. Along the way, Chen Luo encountered many pedestrians, including students and teachers. They all greeted Chen Luo with respect, but immediately began to whisper among themselves afterward.

"I don't know what the dean was thinking. Why keep this freeloader in our college?"

"Grandmaster is at least a Great Soul Master, isn't it a bit inappropriate to talk about him like that? Besides, he's the number one theoretical master."

"What kind of bullshit theoretical master is he? He's just self-proclaimed. His so-called theories about soul masters and soul beasts have long been proven by many soul masters to be unreasonable. Why do you still take this so-called master seriously?"

Chen Luo wasn't hard of hearing; he heard all of these kinds of comments clearly. It was obvious that this wasn't the first time these people had talked about Yu Xiaogang, and they were doing it so openly.

Chen Luo also wanted to get angry. After all, he had now become Yu Xiaogang, and it was still a bit unpleasant to be spoken to like that by others. However, he found that his body was completely unresponsive and seemed to have long been numb.

But what others said is all true, so what's there to be angry about? Is it impotent rage?

Upon arriving at the academy gate, Chen Luo did not see the person he wanted to see. He was also hungry, so he decided to go out and get something to eat.

Yu Xiaogang's status as a master is quite useful; the young gatekeeper treats him with great respect, even if it's just a facade, he's at least done his job properly.

Once on the street, Chen Luo looked around. Relying on Yu Xiaogang's original memories, Chen Luo had just located a place to eat and was about to go there when he saw two figures, an old man and a young man, walking towards Notting Academy in the distance.

Good heavens, it's Tang San and Old Jack!

From a distance, Tang San and Old Jack looked about 80-90% similar to their anime counterparts, so Chen Luo recognized them at a glance.

Why do I feel like I've been transported into the Douluo Continent anime? Although it doesn't seem to make much of a difference, the world of anime is built upon the text of the novel, so even if there are some changes, the basic structure remains the same.

"Here it comes! The mission objective has appeared!"

Chen Luo's heart gradually became excited, and he immediately walked towards another street.

There aren't that many chance encounters; most chance encounters are carefully planned.

Tang San and Old Jack soon arrived at the gate of Notting Academy. The subsequent events were not much different from what Chen Luo remembered. Because of their identities, Tang San and Old Jack had a minor conflict with the young man guarding the gate.

Seeing that the time was right, Chen Luo calmly walked towards the academy.

If he doesn't show up soon, Tang San might kill someone.

P.S.: Please find a reading guide here!

1. [Tang San's choice of spirit rings] This is a controversial point in the book. Why is it still the "classic" [Blue Silver Entanglement]? Let me explain.

First of all, the protagonist had no so-called master-disciple feelings for Tang San in the early stages. He even disliked Tang San because of Tang San's "reputation". In the early stages, he basically treated Tang San as a tool.

The protagonist's goal is simply to obtain the system's rewards. He doesn't need to think about anything else. Following the original story's instructions to find the spirit ring is already a great favor. As long as Tang San obtains the spirit ring, he will receive the reward.

I don't know why so many readers are so indignant about this. Why does the protagonist have to obediently become Tang San's "father" as soon as he transmigrates? This is fan fiction, and Tang San is not the protagonist of this book!

Then, let's return to the spirit rings themselves.

The first few spirit rings are just for transition. Who would use the first few spirit skills later on? Don't read other fanfiction settings as if choosing the first few spirit rings is as important as life itself. How much impact can a hundred-year or thousand-year spirit ring have?

Whether it's the so-called vitality or other attributes, it's just a transition. Compared to the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years of spirit rings in the later stages, what is the impact of the previous few hundred or thousand-year spirit rings? Don't bring up other fan fiction settings again. The original combat power settings are not even perfect. It's ridiculous to randomly apply other fan fiction settings everywhere.

2. [The arrangement of the female leads]: There are two female leads, Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong. Initially, she will claim to be severing ties with Liu Erlong, but this will be contradicted later, and her background will be altered. Furthermore, to fit the plot, Bibi Dong's appearance will be slightly later in the story.

3. No book is absolutely perfect. This book certainly has many other problems, so I hope everyone will be understanding.

Reading is meant to be enjoyable, so don't take it too seriously. If you like a book, support it; if you don't, just move on to the next one.

I hope you all enjoy watching!

Chapter 2 triggered! Ten thousand times the return!

"Alright, stop now."

The young man guarding the gate was pushed to the ground by Tang San. Just as he was about to get up and retaliate, Chen Luo appeared in time and calmly stopped the conflict from continuing.

Upon seeing Chen Luo, the young gatekeeper's angry expression instantly transformed into a smile: "Master, you're back!"

Chen Luo nodded slightly, then looked at Tang San and Old Jack, finally focusing his gaze on Old Jack, and said gently, "Sir, could you show me the Spirit Hall's certificate?"
