Qian Xuanji felt a wave of pain surge through his body. What's wrong with me?
Dazed, he slowly opened his eyes and saw a stunning beauty with long purple hair and a voluptuous figure. She was holding a bowl of steaming medicine as she walked over.
Qian Xuanji swore that in his previous life, this woman was leagues more captivating than any of the beautiful female celebrities he had ever seen.
Why is she here? Could it be that I, Qian Xuanji, am blessed with such romantic fortune???
He watched as the young woman gently squatted in front of him, scooped up a spoonful of medicine, and said softly,
"Master, come—take your medicine."
"Master?" Qian Xuanji froze. "I'm your master?"
"Yes, of course. Master, don't you remember?"
The beauty gently blew on the spoon to cool it, blinked her eyes, and asked in mild surprise.
Qian Xuanji rubbed his head and said, "My head hurts a lot. I can't remember things very clearly."
Looking at her elegant palace attire, and then at the grand hall surrounding them, Qian Xuanji began to form a vague guess about his situation.
Could it be… I transmigrated? And even became the master of a great beauty?!
Hehehe, not bad at all—just a pity it's a master-disciple relationship.
"Master, what are you thinking about? Hurry and drink it. If you don't, the medicine will get cold," the beauty said reproachfully, bringing the spoon close to his lips.
"Oh, oh, alright. I'll drink it," Qian Xuanji said, opening his mouth and swallowing the medicine.
"Why does this medicine taste so strange?" Qian Xuanji smacked his lips and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Disciple, what kind of medicine did you give me?"
"Of course it's medicine to cure and save you, Master. What medicine isn't bitter?" she said softly.
"Come on, Master, drink it quickly. Once you finish it, Dong'er will finally be at ease."
She scooped up another spoonful and brought it to his lips again.
Faced with such gracious attention from a beauty, how could Qian Xuanji refuse? Under her gentle care, he drank the medicine spoon by spoon.
As he drank in a daze, a word flashed through his mind—Dong'er.
Why did this beauty seem so familiar?
Before long, the entire bowl of medicine was finally poured down his throat.
The beauty set the bowl aside and stood up.
"Teacher, please rest well. Dong'er will come later to take care of you."
With that, she turned around and left the underground chamber.
Dong'er… Dong'er… Dong'er…
Could she be… Bibi Dong?
Although she was not yet the domineering Pope Bibi Dong of the future, the mere thought of Bibi Dong instantly woke Qian Xuanji up completely.
If she was Bibi Dong, then I am Bibi Dong's master—holy sh—
Qian Xuanji looked himself up and down.
Shock — I Became the Secret Chamber Douluo, Qian Xuanji
A flood of unfamiliar memories surged into Qian Xuanji's mind.
From his birth, to awakening the Six-Winged Angel martial soul at the age of six; from his father Qian Daoliu's disappointed gaze, to Qian Xuanji's later indulgent and debauched lifestyle; from discovering a genius girl in a village ravaged by evil soul masters and taking her in as a disciple—to the most crucial memory of all.
His disciple grew up and became disobedient. Her soul was stolen away by a wild brat named Yu Xiaogang. She even proposed eloping right in front of him. Enraged, Qian Xuanji knocked Bibi Dong unconscious—and then came that fragrant, shameful scene in the secret chamber!
Of course, that wasn't the most important part. What mattered was that Bibi Dong became pregnant, and Qian Xuanji threatened Yu Xiaogang's life to force her to give birth to the child.
Later, perhaps feeling guilty toward Bibi Dong, Qian Xuanji thought of compensating her with Tang Hao's wife. But that outing went completely off the rails.
That woman, Ah Yin, actually sacrificed herself to Tang Hao. Then that bastard activated an absurd power-up and brutally smashed the level-95 Qian Xuanji along with the two elders who accompanied him into near-total cripples!
And thus came the memory of being fed medicine in the secret chamber by this very "obedient disciple."
Just because my name is Qian Xuanji, you don't get to actually turn me into Qian Xuanji!
That's right his name in his previous life was truly Qian Xuanji. Because of that name, and because Douluo Continent became wildly popular, people around him mockingly called him the "Secret Chamber Douluo." Driven by curiosity, he ended up reading the novel.
After finishing it, Qian Xuanji was left with nothing but the feeling of having been utterly screwed.
In the novel, Qian Xuanji was indeed in the wrong. He broke up Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang, forging a chain of tragedies involving Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and others, as if he were the root of all evil.
But that didn't mean everything should be dumped on Qian Xuanji alone!
Let me ask—didn't you, Bibi Dong, have any fault at all? The Spirit Hall nurtured you, poured resources into you, granted you privileges. Was that so you could do whatever you pleased? In this world, the more rights you enjoy, the greater the obligations you must bear. And you wanted to elope just because of some ridiculous love, with Yu Xiaogang from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
Did you really think Spirit Hall was running a charity? They invested so much in you, and before repaying the organization's cultivation, you wanted to run off with someone just because of "love"?
A Saintess is not meant to have love. Bibi Dong was an ungrateful wolf; Hu Liena was another ungrateful wolf. Spirit Hall truly specialized in raising ungrateful Saintesses.
Qian Xuanji's actions were certainly excessive. But in other cultivation sects in fantasy novels, the normal handling would be either locking you up in seclusion and executing you if you didn't repent, or crippling your cultivation—if you still wanted to elope, then go ahead.
Qian Xuanji only ended up here because he read Douluo Continent, cursed nonstop over it, and kept defending Qian Xuanji in his mind due to sharing the same name until a truck sent him straight into transmigration.
And now, he had really become Qian Xuanji.
Worse still, the Qian Xuanji who was half-paralyzed by Tang Hao and had already been fed medicine by Bibi Dong.
Holy damn it
Qian Xuanji drank Bibi Dong's medicine. Doesn't that mean I'm not far from death? Soon she'll turn into that demonic spider monster, kill me, and devour my soul so we can be "together forever"?
Why is it that when others transmigrate into Qian Xuanji, it's either before the secret chamber incident, or after it but before being beaten by Tang Hao? Even those beaten by Tang Hao didn't drink Bibi Dong's medicine there was still room to turn things around!
But I transmigrated into the Qian Xuanji who was beaten by Tang Hao and force-fed medicine by Bibi Dong!
Hell-mode from the very start. Qian Xuanji was instantly overwhelmed by despair and rage.
"Oh, shit!"
Realizing his situation, Qian Xuanji immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
Qian Xuanji's only chance to live was to leave the basement and seek protection from his dear "dad." Only that way could he escape the clutches of his "obedient disciple."
However, after observing his surroundings, despair set in.
The underground chamber damn it—had only one exit. No need to think about it: if Qian Xuanji went out through that exit, he would definitely run into his "obedient disciple"!
What to do? What to do? What to do?
Qian Xuanji realized he was now trapped in a dead end. According to his memories, he tried to summon his martial soul and use the power of a Titled Douluo. But the moment he mobilized his soul power, he felt his entire body go numb.
Bibi Dong's drug had begun to take effect. It wasn't poison meant to kill Qian Xuanji, it was a toxin that sealed his soul power.
That woman was vicious. Poisoning Qian Xuanji to death would be too merciful. What she wanted was to kill him with her own hands.
Having lost his soul power, Qian Xuanji was now basically a cripple.
If he fell into Bibi Dong's hands, he definitely wouldn't die easily. If she didn't chop Qian Xuanji into pieces, she wouldn't rest.
Trapped in despair, Qian Xuanji finally broke down and cursed aloud:
"Damn it, Qian Xuanji! You took Bibi Dong's body and enjoyed all the benefits and then ran off leaving me to bear her hatred! You bastard come back! Switch places with me!"
The original body's owner was long gone; no matter how Qian Xuanji shouted, it was useless. Before long, Bibi Dong would arrive. Qian Xuanji was desperate.
He would rather believe this was just a nightmare—that when he woke up, he'd be back in his familiar bed.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully bound the Douluo Supreme Villain Gacha System.]
Hearing the mechanical voice in his mind, Qian Xuanji jolted and sat up in excitement.
Right—how could a transmigrator not have a system?
Qian Xuanji clutched at it like a drowning man grabbing a lifeline.
"System, tell me what functions do you have that can get me out of this predicament?"
[Host, you have a Beginner's Gift Pack available.]
"Yes, yes, the Beginner's Gift Pack! Hurry, open it—preferably something that can heal my injuries and remove the poison. Hurry!" Qian Xuanji said, keeping a wary eye on the chamber entrance.
[You have obtained one Golden Draw from the card pool.]
"Gacha???"
System—this is Douluo Continent, not Yu-Gi-Oh! Did I bind the wrong system? Does it think I transmigrated into Yu-Gi-Oh and wants to train me into some kind of over-the-top villain?
But at this point, Qian Xuanji had no other choice.
"Draw."
Qian Xuanji moved the drawn card in front of himself. The card's edges were set with diamonds. The card name read:
Fallen Angel · Lucifer
The image depicted a handsome man in black armor, holding a sword and shield, with pale hair and an ashen complexion. Twelve wings spread behind his back.
"What does this card do?" Qian Xuanji asked.
[Respected Host, this card has two methods of use. The first is to directly replace your martial soul, granting you the power and inheritance of the Fallen Angel.
The second is to keep the card without replacing your martial soul; in that case, you may switch martial souls at a critical moment, but you will not inherit Lucifer's power.]
"Then, System, which option do you think I should choose?"
[Respected Host, given your current condition, the system recommends directly replacing the Six-Winged Angel martial soul and inheriting the power of Fallen Angel Lucifer. Once the Six-Winged Angel is removed, Lucifer's power will remodel your body. All injuries and toxins affecting you will be cleared!]
"After replacing my martial soul, will my strength be affected?" Qian Xuanji asked worriedly.
If switching to Lucifer reset his cultivation from scratch, wouldn't the outcome be the same getting killed by Bibi Dong?
[No. Fallen Angel Lucifer is extremely powerful. Upon descending into your body, you will immediately possess the strength of an Ultimate Duoluo.]
Qian Xuanji grinned.
Perfect. Starting the game invincible below the gods—nice! System, I like you!
"Alright, then replace my Six-Winged Angel martial soul."
Fallen Angel Lucifer radiated brilliant light. Before Qian Xuanji, a phantom of the fallen angel formed. The man with twelve wings glanced at him, stepped forward, and then entered Qian Xuanji's body.
A power completely opposite to that of the Six-Winged Angel—yet pushed to the extreme—flooded into him. The moment the Six-Winged Angel's power touched it, it melted away like snow.
Bathed in purple motes of light, Qian Xuanji felt his back no longer hurt, his legs healed, his kidneys no longer weak and most importantly, he felt a power far beyond his memories.
The power of a Ultimate Duoluo.
Qian Xuanji walked to a standing mirror and examined himself. He was still Qian Xuanji. The difference was that his golden hair had turned pale, and his golden eyes had become eerie purple.
It was just like the changes that happened to a certain "filial son" in the world of Azeroth.
He had gone dark.
Yes this was right. This was the proper look a true villain should have!
Admiring his handsome appearance narcissistically, Qian Xuanji muttered, "Did Bibi Dong drop her eyes in the toilet? She actually fell for Yu Xiaogang. What's so good about that guy? He's weaker than me, uglier than me, and even his so-called proud theoretical knowledge was plagiarized."
Subconsciously, Qian Xuanji wanted to summon his martial soul to test it but he was afraid of alerting the "obedient disciple" outside the basement.
[Respected Host, you need not worry. This system has activated shielding. Even gods cannot perceive the changes here.]
"Very thoughtful of you, little system."
Qian Xuanji directly summoned his martial soul. Behind him appeared the image of a twelve-winged fallen angel.
When the nine soul rings descended, Qian Xuanji froze.
Red.
Red.
Red.
Red.
Red.
Red.
Red.
Red.
Red.
He had expected the soul rings to follow the original body's trash-tier configuration. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect this.
This—this was the rhythm of being invincible in the early game! Nice, nice. System, you're generous indeed.
Behind Qian Xuanji stood the image of the Fallen Angel, Lucifer—the very being he had just witnessed. It was a god-tier martial soul that reigned above all others, surpassing even the Six-Winged Angel, a martial soul at the level of a God King.
Its nine soul skills were as follows:
First Soul Skill — Fallen Angel Holy Sword:
Summons the Fallen Angel's Holy Sword. Ultimate darkness attribute; unending darkness, nothing it cannot pierce. The attack power of this sword is no less than that of a divine artifact.
Second Soul Skill — Fallen Angel Holy Shield:
Summons the Fallen Angel's Holy Shield. Ultimate darkness attribute; unending darkness, nothing it cannot block. Its defensive power is no less than that of a divine artifact.
Third Soul Skill — Fallen Angel Attendant:
Consumes 20% of the user's soul power to summon a Fallen Angel servant. The servant possesses 70% of the host's strength and lasts for one hour. With sufficient soul power, it can be continuously summoned.
Fourth Soul Skill — Fallen Angel Punishment:
Releases the Mark of Punishment. Anyone bearing this mark is cursed by the Fallen Angel, with all attributes suppressed by 30%.
Fifth Soul Skill — Soul Siphon:
Allows the absorption of the souls of the dead. For every soul absorbed, the user's attributes are increased by a percentage based on the deceased's strength.
Sixth Soul Skill — Light of Dawn:
A large-scale offensive soul skill. When Ultimate darkness reaches its limit, it gives rise to Ultimate light—dealing wide-area damage and purifying enemies. Those struck lose 30% of their soul power through purification.
Seventh Soul Skill — Martial Soul True Body:
The true body of the Fallen Angel martial soul, greatly enhancing all attributes.
Eighth Soul Skill — Terminal Darkness:
Unleashes Ultimate darkness—an utterly evil offensive force with corrosive properties, capable of assimilating all matter, attributes, and soul power into darkness.
Ninth Soul Skill — Covenant of the Fallen Angel:
The contractor signs a Fallen Angel covenant with Lucifer, gaining the attribute of Ultimate darkness. Lucifer, in turn, gains the contractor's absolute loyalty (the covenant must be signed with the other party's willing consent).
The Fallen Angel Lucifer possesses dual domains: one is the Darkness Domain, and the other is the Fallen Domain.
"Not bad, not bad," Qian Xuanji said as he retracted his martial soul and sat back in his original seat. With this level of power, he could end the entire story of Douluo Continent right from the start.
First, cripple that "good disciple" who dared to drug him. Then go to Holy Soul Village, slaughter Tang Hao, crush the newborn Tang San, and afterward wipe out the Clear Sky Sect—flattening every potential future threat!
"Oh right, System what functions do you have?" Qian Xuanji asked.
[Respected Host, as a Villain System, all functions are centered around tormenting the protagonists.]
[The system's functions include a System Shop, Lottery Pool, Mimetic Training Room, and more. However, using any of these requires Emotion Points to sustain them. Emotion Points are the sole designated currency of this system.]
Qian Xuanji opened the System Shop and saw a dazzling array of items: soul rings, soul bones, immortal herbs, even martial souls and god positions—everything was there. As long as you had enough Emotion Points, dual martial souls were nothing; three, four, five 10,086 martial souls weren't a dream at all!
You say you have a martial soul but not enough soul rings? Nonsense! The system shop had so many soul rings laid out in plain sight—buy whatever you want, pick whatever you like.
You say fancy martial souls don't matter, and becoming a god is what truly makes you king?
Take a look at the system shop—almost every god position imaginable was included: those that exist on Douluo Continent, those that don't, even completely fabricated ones. Tang San's dual-god fusion is impressive? Sure.
But Qian Xuanji said that with enough Emotion Points, he could fuse ten thousand gods and crush Tang San like an ant.
Is Tang San's Mysterious Heaven powerful? Yes. But this system contains countless cultivation techniques and martial skills.
There are even cultivation methods that abandon the soul-ring system entirely, everything you could possibly want is there.
In other words, even though Qian Xuanji was already a level-99 Ultimate Duoluo, this was only his starting point. With the system, his future had no upper limit.
That said, all of this depended on Emotion Points. Only with enough of them could Qian Xuanji truly live it up in the future.
"System, how do I collect Emotion Points?" Qian Xuanji asked.
[Respected Host, when you come into contact with major characters of Douluo Continent, you may designate them as Emotion Point collection targets. When the selected target generates negative emotions toward you, you can collect Emotion Points. Note: only negative emotions count, including anger, hatred, resentment, jealousy, and other such emotions.]
[Targets can only be bound if their impression of you is negative. Moreover, the greater their importance—i.e., the stronger their destiny or fortune—the more Emotion Points you can collect.]
[You currently have ten binding slots. Please choose your targets carefully.]
"So that's how it is," Qian Xuanji stroked his chin. "Hatred, disgust, loathing—people who easily develop negative emotions toward me can generate Emotion Points. And the more important they are, the more points I can harvest."
Originally, Qian Xuanji had planned to put an end to this Douluo Continent story altogether—but now, he no longer wanted to.
Tang San, Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang…
These were all golden chickens that laid golden eggs. Killing the chicken to take the eggs? Qian Xuanji would never do that.
If we're talking about who hated Qian Xuanji the most right now, it had to be Tang Hao.
No, I need to hurry to Holy Soul Village and bind Tang Hao. He's just suffered the pain of losing his wife—he must hate me to the bone right now. Every second, every moment, he's laying golden eggs nonstop.
Just as Qian Xuanji stood up to set off for Holy Soul Village, suddenly—
[Ding! Detected a major character suitable for binding for lottery point acquisition: Bibi Dong is approaching the host. Would you like to bind?]
Oh? Oh?
Your master here almost forgot about that "good disciple" who wanted to kill him!
She's another golden chicken too!
"Bind," Qian Xuanji said.
He heard the sound of the underground chamber door opening. Bibi Dong had already entered the secret room. Now was the time to properly deal with this "good disciple."
What a close call—he had almost been sent off by his own disciple the moment he transmigrated. Now that he was finally safe, Qian Xuanji decided to give this "good disciple" a huge surprise.
So he slumped weakly back into the same chair where Bibi Dong had fed him the medicine earlier.
The door to the secret chamber opened, and Bibi Dong walked in.
She closed the door behind her and turned around. Her gaze was no longer as gentle as when she had been feeding him earlier. What burst from her eyes now was venomous resentment, hatred, and the thrill of imminent revenge. When she looked at Qian Xuanji, she paused slightly and saw his hair had turned white.
But she didn't think much of it. She had waited far too long for this moment.
[Bibi Dong — Hatred +19,999]
