Chat Group in Douluo: Messing with the Multiverse

-----

-----

The dark forest was filled with the smell of decaying leaves.

"Bloodstains are leading forward!"

"The person can't be far..."

"Hurry, chase!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Six or seven shadowy figures, dressed in black night clothes, leaped through the forest like shooting stars, quickly advancing further into the woods.

The cold wind of the night swept through the trees, and the rustling leaves created a soft, eerie sound.

After about five or six minutes, a head cautiously peeked out from behind an old tree, observing the situation.

"They shouldn't come back for an ambush, right?"

"Who the hell are these people? Moving like some sort of Tarzan? Are they legendary martial arts experts...?"

A low murmur came from a teenager who seemed to be about 16 or 17 years old.

The boy had short, three-seven split hair, a handsome face, and a tall, slender build, dressed in a pure black hoodie.

In the dark forest under the moonlight, he was almost invisible unless someone took a really close look.

It was thanks to his "camouflage" in the dark that he hadn't been spotted by the group of so-called 'martial arts experts' earlier.

"They seem to be chasing someone, but whastever, it's none of my business. It's better to avoid them than risk getting my ass kicked..."

With the danger passed, Lu Xian stood up from behind the old tree, deep in thought.

He remembered crossing the street after school, and then a dump truck suddenly came at him—after that, everything went black.

"What the hell is this place?"

Lu Xian felt completely lost.

This bizarre place... the trees here were massive, needing at least seven or eight people to wrap their arms around one, and they'd been standing here for who knows how many years.

"Am I still on Earth?"

"Does Earth have trees this big?"

Even the Amazon rainforest couldn't have a place like this!

Lu Xian hesitated.

Suddenly, coming from a busy street to this place...

Was this a case of being transported to another world?

And maybe... in a rare instance where he wore...

"Show yourself, little treasure!"

[Abstract System: I've arrived!]

[Would you like to claim your newbie Abstract Gift Pack?]

"Shit!"

Lu Xian froze. He had actually crossed over to another world! He had casually called out, and now, there was a system talking to him. What world had he been dropped into?

The system seemed a little mischievous!

"Who are you...?"

A weak, female voice suddenly came from behind.

Lu Xian jumped in shock.

This dark forest was so dense, with grass taller than half a person, and the humidity mixed with the chilly night air that made you shiver involuntarily.

Everything was pitch black, even creepier than a cemetery at night.

Lu Xian wasn't the bravest guy, and he had a bit of a fear of ghosts...

Cough—

Well, if it were a female ghost, he wasn't exactly opposed.

'Claim newbie Abstract Gift Pack.'

Lu Xian silently thought while carefully pushing aside the weeds, creeping toward where the voice had come from.

Little ghost, prepare to be my training tool with a bag over your head!

[Newbie Abstract Gift Pack claimed successfully]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Martial Soul: Abstract Qi]

[Congratulations to the host for attaining innate soul power level 20]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining two Million-year Concept Soul Ring Skills]

Lu Xian's body stiffened, and a warm flow spread from his abdomen throughout his body. In just a moment, he felt a dramatic change—his body had been completely transformed, like a new birth.

He could distinctly feel his physical abilities had been greatly improved. The most noticeable change was in his fists, which now felt full of power.

Oh no!

His stomach suddenly cramped!

It felt like he was about to crap his pants!

No toilet paper!

Lu Xian's face turned serious as he quickened his pace.

He quickly brushed aside the last bit of weeds in front of him, and behind a tree, he saw a slender figure dressed all in black.

She was wearing tight leather clothes, pale-faced, crouching behind the old tree, her gaze warily fixed on Lu Xian, who was approaching.

"Hey, girl, you don't just shout in an environment like this. You know, you could scare someone to death!"

The girl frowned, her voice cold as she responded, "Didn't you just ask me to show myself?"

Lu Xian froze. The girl did the same. They both realized they had misunderstood each other...

A moment of awkward silence followed.

To break the tension...

Okay, fine. Lu Xian was hoping to borrow some toilet paper...

"Hey, girl, what are you doing here all alone in the middle of the night?"

"What do you think?"

The girl looked at him in disbelief. He had been hiding from her sister earlier, and his behavior was jumpy and scattered. He seemed a bit dim-witted, so she didn't see him as a threat.

"I think...?"

Lu Xian took a quick look at the girl. Her leather clothes were slashed with marks, exposing her wounds, and there was a blood hole on her right shoulder, as if something had pierced her through and through. Blood was oozing out and couldn't be stopped.

If it were him with that kind of injury, he would have already started screaming.

But her? She was just frowning slightly, showing no sign of panic, and calmly chatting with him.

She was tough!

Lu Xian's eyes lit up. "I got it!"

"You're crouching here..."

"You're trying to take a dump, aren't you?"

"Got any toilet paper? I'm in urgent need here!"

"..."

The wind rustled the fallen leaves.

At this point, the girl seemed to have forgotten about the pain in her wounds. Her brows relaxed, and her expression shifted to one of surprise.

After a moment, her lips twitched, and she shot him an odd look.

"No?"

"Well, why didn't you say so earlier!"

"Why didn't you say it sooner!"

Lu Xian was getting desperate. Holding his butt, he quickly scanned his surroundings, grabbed a few large leaves that looked useful, and hurried off.

The girl:...

"Hey! Those leaves are poisonous and really spicy!"

Her voice drifted from behind him.

"Shit!"

Lu Xian cursed as he ran a dozen meters away, only just managing to squat down behind a large tree, quickly dropping his pants and letting out a relieved sigh.

Finally, he could think about other things.

"Damn it! I didn't expect a dump truck would drop me into Douluo Dalu!"

"What the hell, this isn't a magical world, it's more like a damn floor tile!"

"Looks like there's no future here!"

"Thank you, dump truck!"

Lu Xian grumbled for a while before checking his Martial Soul and Soul Skills. His expression immediately became strange.

Martial Soul: Abstract Qi

Able to transform into any shape of ethereal Qi!

First Soul Skill: Invincible Me!

When activated, the BGM "Invincible" will play. During the duration of the BGM, the user is absolutely invincible and cannot be harmed by any form of attack. This skill can be used up to 10 times a day, resetting at midnight.

For each additional soul ring, the number of uses per day increases by 10. When the user reaches six soul rings, a new BGM "Raging Sea" is unlocked!

"I'm a two-ring Soul Master, so I can use 'Invincible Me' up to 20 times a day. This song, it's like that one from Mermuda... a full 1.5-minute track..."

"Fuck!"

"Wait a minute, so this adds up to around 30 minutes of invincibility!"

A character who comes with their own BGM! Damn, I'm so cool right now!

Lu Xian continued to look at his second Soul Skill.

Second Soul Skill: 100% Hand-to-Hand Blade Catch!

Requires transforming the Martial Soul into a blade form. After using this skill, within a 100-meter range, target one person and force them to kneel before you. If they can't catch the blade, they'll be instantly killed.

After the skill is used, the Martial Soul cannot be destroyed for 10 seconds.

For each additional soul ring, the range of effect increases by 100 meters, and the invincibility duration increases by 10 seconds.

"This is a godly control skill!"

Lu Xian's eyes lit up.

From now on, anyone who wants to fight him will have to kneel when they meet him!

Even Title Douluo-level experts won't be able to destroy his Martial Soul so easily.

Starting off, they'll kneel for 20 seconds!

If they can't destroy his Martial Soul, they'll kneel forever! And if they don't have long enough arms to catch the blade, one strike and they're dead!

"This is the power of a million-year Concept Soul Ring skill!"

The art style of the skills was a bit abstract, but damn, they were flashy!

Looking at it this way, maybe Douluo Dalu isn't so much of a floor tile after all.

I, Lu Xian, will raise the ceiling of this world with my own strength!

This is absolutely... badass!

And this wasn't even the best part.

From the Abstract System, Lu Xian learned that each time he broke through a major level, he wouldn't need to hunt soul beasts. Instead, a million-year Concept Soul Ring Skill would be automatically generated for him.

When he reaches Title Douluo, every single one of his soul rings will be above a million years!

Better than that second-rate guy, Huo Guo!

The dump truck, I misunderstood you!

Thank you, dump truck!

"Great!"

"Now, here's the problem!"

"What the hell do I wipe with?!"

"Urgent!!!"
