2: Return system, Xiao Yan was shocked

Chapter 2: Return System, Xiao Yan's Shock

He wasn't called Soul Cang before. After an accidental awakening, he found himself transmigrated and became Soul Cang!

And Soul Cang, from the surname 'Hun', it's easy to guess that he came from the Soul Clan!

The Soul Clan, one of the eight ancient clans in the Battle Through The Heavens world!

At that time, when he learned that he was born into the Soul Clan and that his father was the Soul Emperor, his first reaction was not excitement, but fear and terror!

According to the novel's plot, the Soul Emperor eventually went mad in pursuit of becoming a Dou Di, not only slaughtering countless beings in the Central Plains but even sacrificing the entire Soul Clan during his battle with Xiao Yan!

In other words, Soul Cang's future was a dead end.

Actually, he had also considered that since it was because of Xiao Yan, wouldn't it be simpler to kill him before he grew up?

Then he thought, 'No, that's not right!'

What if he killed Xiao Yan and then another Li Yan or Zhao Yan appeared?

Compared to other unknown individuals, Soul Cang at least understood Xiao Yan's entire growth process.

Therefore, he decided to observe Xiao Yan first, then figure out a way, whether to become friends or...

But! Soul Cang discovered a new problem: although he was born into the Soul Clan, his talent, due to an accident, could only allow him to cultivate to the peak of a Dou Wang at most!

Don't let the early stages fool you, where a Dou Wang can be a strong expert. Later on, Dou Zongs will be as common as dogs, Dou Zuns will be everywhere, and Dou Sages will be countless. What use could he, a mere Dou Wang, be?

To put it harshly, he would need to observe from ten thousand li away, otherwise, he might even be shaken to death by the aftermath of a battle!

This was truly a headache!

Fortunately, there's always a way out. As a new-age transmigrator.

Soul Cang obtained a system!

This system was called the Return System. It was very simple to understand: by bestowing items upon the Sons of Fortune of this world, he could receive corresponding return rewards!

Soul Cang immediately sought confirmation from the system and received a clear answer: he could break through his own limitations through return rewards and become a Dou Huang, a Dou Zong, or even a Dou Di!

At that moment, Soul Cang thought, 'I'm about to take off!'

Because in other worlds, he might not know who the Son of Fortune was, but in Battle Through The Heavens, how could he not know?

He started reading this book in junior high, and he could still remember all the details more than ten years later.

So, Soul Cang pondered how to approach Xiao Yan and replace Old Yao, becoming Xiao Yan's golden finger himself!

Soon, he thought of a method!

Self-exposure!

Yes, he decided to expose his identity and confess to Xiao Yan!

This decision was indeed a bit risky, but thinking of his own strength compared to Xiao Yan, he regained his confidence.

"According to the description of Xiao Yan in the book, if Old Yao hadn't absorbed his Dou Qi, he clearly wouldn't be content with mediocrity; he's someone who yearns to be a brilliant genius!

Given that, if he knew there was an Fellow Countryman at the Dou Wang realm, would he resist coming to me for help with his problems?"

After reconsidering the plan, Soul Cang felt there were no issues.

He used three questions to reveal his identity as a transmigrator.

However, these questions, apart from fellow transmigrators from Earth, were incomprehensible to the people of the Battle Through The Heavens world.

"I'm a little excited to see Xiao Yan's reaction..."

A smile played on Soul Cang's lips as he relaxed and slowly drifted off to sleep.

However, while he slept soundly, Wutan City was anything but peaceful.

As the various families and forces spread the questions and the news of the corresponding rewards, everyone was in an uproar.

For a time, the places where the papers were posted were packed with people.

"Brother, what's written on there?"

An old man with a rough appearance and a thick accent pointed at the paper and asked.

"Clues for a Dou Wang expert looking for someone. As long as you can answer the questions, you can get rewards, even Earth-tier Dou Skills and cultivation techniques at the highest level."

The person who was asked replied.

The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this. He tugged at the other person's clothes, asking him to describe the questions on it.

Hearing this, that person scoffed disdainfully, "Old man, you can't even read, and you still want to join the fun? I advise you not to waste your effort, go home and get some sleep."

As soon as these words came out, they drew hearty laughter from many people around.

Although the old man's face turned red, he didn't leave. He mingled in the crowd and finally heard the questions from other people, but he was pulling his hair out and still couldn't think of an answer.

...

Xiao Family.

In the back mountain, a young man sat cross-legged, his fingers forming a special hand seal. Dou Qi could vaguely be seen circulating, entering through his nose and sinking into his Dantian.

However, after only a few seconds, the Dou Qi that had been so difficult to gather silently disappeared again.

"I love you guys so much!!"

Opening his eyes, a flash of anger crossed his face, and the young man couldn't help but curse loudly.

He irritably ran his fingers through his hair.

After transmigrating for more than ten years, he thought he was a genius, but he didn't expect to encounter this cursed situation...

Xiao Yan pulled out a wild grass, put it in his mouth, and walked down the mountain with a displeased expression.

As soon as he returned to the Xiao Family, he sensed a strange atmosphere permeating the air.

"What's wrong?"

He noticed that everyone in the family, from the elders to the clansmen, and even the servants, were all frowning, occasionally glancing at the papers in their hands.

Filled with deep curiosity, he walked into the front hall and found his father and several elders there.

The younger generation, who usually cultivated at this time, were all gathered inside.

"Brother Xiao Yan."

In a corner, a pure young woman, like a lotus flower, saw Xiao Yan and smiled, waving her hand.

Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan walked over. After sitting down, he asked, "Xun'er, what's wrong with everyone?"

Xiao Xun'er pushed a piece of paper over and explained, "Today, at least a Dou Wang level person came to Wutan City, saying he wanted to find someone. These are the questions he gave. Whoever can answer one can get a Gathering Qi Powder. Answering two or all of them can get Earth-tier Dou Skills and cultivation techniques."

Gathering Qi Powder?

Earth-tier Dou Skills, cultivation techniques?

!!!

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, his heart filled with shock. One must know that the most powerful cultivation technique in the Xiao Family was only high-grade Profound-tier.

To offer Earth-tier Dou Skills and cultivation techniques right off the bat, what a grand gesture...

At this moment, Xiao Yan immediately understood why everyone in the family looked like this.

After all, just one high-grade Profound-tier cultivation technique was enough to make the Xiao Family one of the three top families in Wutan City.

If they had an Earth-tier cultivation technique, wouldn't they be able to go to the Imperial Capital of the Gama Empire and establish a force?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's heart burned with eagerness. He quickly wanted to see what the questions were and if he could answer them.

The next second, his gaze fell on the paper, his pupils suddenly constricted like pinholes, and his body couldn't stop trembling.

This, this... isn't this?!

"Brother Xiao Yan, are you alright? Why, do you know the answers to the questions?"

Xiao Xun'er, sitting beside him, immediately noticed Xiao Yan's abnormality, her eyes filled with deep concern.

Xiao Yan's commotion was not small. At this moment, Xiao Zhan and the others also turned their gazes towards him.

"No, I just feel a little unwell."

Being watched by everyone, Xiao Yan forced himself not to let his expression get out of control. He got up, walked out of the main hall, and returned to his room.
