Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 Entrusting My Heart to Hope

  The White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

  Huo Yuhao looked at his tender hands, on the verge of tears.

  He had just received his memories and knew he had transmigrated into Huo Yuhao, the protagonist of *Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect*.

  To be honest, it was a bit of a headache.

  In his previous life, he had become a fan of the *Douluo Continent* series as a child, and later read *Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect*. As for the later sequels of *Douluo Continent   II: The Peerless Tang Sect*, he abandoned them due to his studies and never picked them up again. Later, due to various abstract references, he noticed the *Douluo Continent* series again and became a gossip enthusiast, actively participating in the gossip.   

He simply wanted to see what kind of mess that author would make next.

  But now, I've been reborn into Huo Yuhao's body!?  

 Oh no, I've become a source of amusement?  

 Quickly think about the plot of *Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect*, if you were the protagonist, what would you do?!  

 Sorry, I can't.  

 You're right, but *Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect* is a son-in-law taming story orchestrated by Tang Shenwang. The story takes place in an alternate world called Douluo Continent, where there's no flashy magic, no terrifying battle qi, but there are wondrous martial souls…  

 As an enforcer of the divine realm, although Tang Shenwang is nominally unable to interfere with the changes in a plane, secretly manipulating a chosen one is still a piece of cake.

  Moreover, later installments like *Douluo Continent III* and *Douluo Continent IV* have plots where the author constantly retconns and creates inconsistencies in the established settings.   

Thinking about this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but shudder.   

Such a wonderful start!

 It even made me a little sweaty.  

 But if we put all that aside,  

 as the chosen one of Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao's name is legendary, especially with his biggest angel investor—Tianmeng Ice Silkworm! His

million-year spirit ring as his first spirit ring is truly astonishing at first sight.  

 Compared to Tang San's Blue Silver Grass spirit's first spirit ring in *Douluo Continent I*, a mere four-hundred-year Mandragora Snake?   

It's like comparing the bright moon to a firefly!  

 Not to mention the opportunity to directly reach godhood with Electrolux!   He used to stand on his moral high ground and point fingers.  

 "This plot is outrageous, it's completely illogical!"  

 "I could do that too."

  But now, he's truly become Huo Yuhao.   

He feels a bleak future and a sense of despair.  

 What can I say?  

 There's no way around it, the advantage of starting first is too great.  

 If their current positions and strengths were reversed, he would show Tang San what it means to die a righteous death.   

Everyone laughs at Tang San, everyone is Tang San.  

 But the current Huo Yuhao is merely a pitiful, helpless level ten Soul Master trainee who hasn't even acquired a Soul Ring yet.

  Even a ten-year-old wind baboon was almost defeated, and he only managed to escape by chance with the level-five soul tool, the White Tiger Dagger.

  Me, fight a God King? Really?!

  Just with my level-one innate soul power, the Spirit Eye?

  Life is tough, Yuhao sighed.

  ...

  "So, I guess I'm already being watched by Tang San?"

  Composing himself, Huo Yuhao looked up at the sky, slightly helpless.

  You're watching me, aren't you, God King Tang!

  Even the original owner's mother has been dealt with clearly, what else can I do?

  Take it one step at a time.

  Endure for now, and plan slowly.

  "Bearing another's body, accepting another's karma, from today onwards, I am Huo Yuhao."

  The current time is that Huo Yuhao is 11 years old, his soul power has reached level ten, and he is preparing to leave the Duke's mansion to hunt soul beasts.

  To obtain soul rings and become a true man... uh... soul master!

  In that case, why don't I just use the Heavenly Dream Token cheat after I get it?

  As long as I don't join Shrek Academy, let's see what Tang Shenwang can do to me!

  This is my struggle to survive!

  I, Huo Yuhao, would rather die than become a loyal dog of the Tang family!

  Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential!

  Huo Yuhao understood.

  Just then, an untimely voice rang in his ears, along with the glowing blue text before him.

  [Ding! Achievement System loaded successfully!]

  [Achievement triggered!]

  [Achieved 'Waste Martial Soul' achievement, reward: Hope Gu.]

  [Achieved 'Demon from Beyond the Heavens' achievement, reward: Soul-Soothing Gu.]

  Huo Yuhao was stunned at first, but quickly reacted.

  The cheat system, you've finally arrived.

  And it's a double reward!

  He carefully studied the [Achievement System].

  He didn't know if it was related to the Gu Master novels he read before transmigrating, but every time he achieved an achievement through this system, he would receive a Gu Master-related reward.

  Achievements were divided into passive personal achievements and active achievement tasks.

  Huo Yuhao's own achievements were all passive achievements, randomly triggered according to his specific actions.

  As for proactive achievement tasks, these are accomplished by interacting with specific characters in the storyline and fulfilling their current wishes.

  "Isn't this the Dream Fulfillment System?"

  Huo Yuhao pondered.

  The Great Love Immortal Venerable Dream Fulfillment System, right?

  It feels a bit strange.

  Perhaps it's to adapt to the rules of Douluo Continent, so the Gu worms can be viewed as extra equipment.

  For example, the two Gu worms he just acquired.

  [Hope Gu: First-stage Gu worm, capable of slowly improving a Soul Master's aptitude and compensating for innate deficiencies.]

  [Evaluation: Faced with adversity, entrust your heart to hope!]

  [Soul-Soothing Gu: Consumes five-stage Gu worms, increases the compatibility between soul and body, and enhances spiritual talent.]

  [Evaluation: Since we're here, let's make the best of it.]

  In Gu Master novels, Gu are driven by true essence, and five-stage Gu worms represent the limit of mortal Gu.

  Gu have nine stages, with stages one to five being mortal Gu and stages six to nine being immortal Gu, all requiring special ingredients to feed, which is extremely troublesome.

  However, now, Gu worms can not only be stored and managed within the system, but can also be materialized and fed and used through his soul power.

  After trying to use the Gu worms, Huo Yuhao discovered that the Hope Gu is like a constant passive buff, consuming very little soul power to maintain.

  As for the Soul-Soothing Gu, it's a one-time use Gu worm, gone once used.

  In the short time after using the Soul-Soothing Gu, he found that not only was his spiritual power enhanced, but he also felt a sense of clarity.

  His body also seemed to have evolved, with improvements in his bones and meridians, and even his appearance had improved to some extent.

  At the same time, Huo Yuhao also sensed some subtle changes in his Spirit Eye Martial Soul.

  "It's somewhat like a Martial Soul evolution, but it won't happen overnight."

  Huo Yuhao had a premonition that only after his Soul Power level increased would he truly experience the transformation of his Martial Soul.

  "However, is the Spirit Eye a useless Martial Soul?"

  Huo Yuhao didn't think so.

  It was only because of his underdeveloped body that his Martial Soul was hampered.

  Although his innate Soul Power was only level one, the Spirit Eye was indeed a top-tier Body Martial Soul, absolutely crucial in the Body Sect.

  It wouldn't be treated like trash like it was in Shrek Academy; if it weren't for his second Martial Soul, Ultimate Ice, it wouldn't have received any attention at all.

  One side is a royal flush, the other a clown.

  There's a saying that holds some truth:

  There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters!

  In the Douluo Continent, there are actually quite a few opportunities to defy fate; insufficient innate Soul Power cannot be a shackle for some powerful individuals.

  For example, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm!

  Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao immediately sneaked out of the Duke's mansion and headed north to the Star Dou Great Forest.

  Time waits for no one; if someone intercepted his opportunity, it would be too late to cry!

  ...

  Six days later.

  Near the Star Dou Great Forest.

  Feeling a bit hungry, Huo Yuhao started catching and grilling fish.

  These days, he had been surviving on this skill.

  And let me tell you, grilling fish using his Spirit Eye was indeed delicious.

  No wonder he was called the Grilling Fish Immortal!

  It even helped him unlock an achievement.

  [Achieved the 'Pitiful and Helpless, But Can Eat' achievement, reward: White Pig Gu.]

  [White Pig Gu: A first-stage Gu worm that modifies the Soul Master's body, fundamentally increasing the Soul Master's strength.]

  [Evaluation: The strength of a pig!]

  After using the White Pig Gu, he roughly tested it, and now his physical strength was perhaps comparable to that of a Great Soul Master who had awakened a high-level beast martial soul.

  The only problem was that his appetite had been growing lately, requiring a considerable amount of food per meal, which had delayed his journey quite a bit.

  However, it wasn't a major issue; his improved physical fitness had also significantly increased his stamina. With

  this combination of increased appetite and decreased stamina, he arrived at the grilled fish location from the original story around the same time.

  He was grilling fish there not only to fill his stomach but also to wait for the right opportunity. Like

  Jiang Taigong fishing, those willing would take the bait.

  Once he saw the Tang Clan couple, he could set off for the Star Dou Great Forest.

  Moreover, he could also test his ideas about the achievement system.

  And so ,

  before he even saw them, he heard their voices.

  "It smells so good!"

  A delighted exclamation rang out, the voice clear and melodious.

  Huo Yuhao's lips curled slightly; he knew the fish had taken the bait.

  He looked up in the direction of the voice.

  The newcomers were a handsome young man and a well-dressed young woman.

  At this moment, the girl in front of him had already run up to Huo Yuhao with great enthusiasm, looking drooling.

  "Little brother, your grilled fish smells so good! How did you make it?"

  "Grilled, of course,"

  Huo Yuhao replied instinctively, looking at her.

  The girl's long black hair was tied into a ponytail and hung down her back. Her light blue outfit accentuated her youthful figure, making her look like a budding flower.

  She had almond-shaped eyes, large and bright, a straight nose, and a near-perfect oval face. Her beautiful face was now filled with a look of craving.

  Of course, that wasn't important.

  What attracted Huo Yuhao the most were the few lines of text about the girl in front of him.

  [Tang Ya]

  [Relationship: Acquaintance]

  [Achievement Quest: Revive the Tang Clan, Starting with Grilled Fish]

  Hey, is this how you rebuild the glory of the Tang Clan?
