Chapter 3: Even Transmigration Cannot Escape the Fate of Grinding

Ning Feiliu rubbed his eyes, discovering it was not a hallucination; a line of text had truly appeared before him!

Could this be his system?

"System?" Ning Feiliu tried calling out.

There was no response.

This time, Ning Feiliu chose to recite it silently in his heart, yet the system still did not appear.

Only the line of text above remained, showing no signs of disappearing.

At this moment, a thought suddenly struck him: could the Crescent Moon martial soul group... be referring to the five weapons of Aphelios, the Crescent Moon's Solemnity, from the game?

Severum, Crescendum, Calibrum, Gravitum, and Infernum—each weapon has different effects and abilities.

And these five weapons would become his martial soul?

A five-fold martial soul?

Good heavens!

Although this was also excellent.

But... could he swap in a few other martial souls?

He didn't have any high demands; he would be satisfied if Yasuo's weapon, Aatrox's weapon, and the Dragon King became his martial souls!

But with Ning Feiliu's current small frame, going in would just be serving as a snack for those Soul Beasts!

What? You want to ask the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo to take you?

The text remained unchanged, and no one answered his question.

The terrifying thing about him is that if he releases poison into your sect or family, your entire household will be sent to the afterlife!

However, the small text on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul before him remained unchanged; it seemed this was a fixed task.

After all, in his past life, he played as a fighter and assassin in the League; although he had played Aphelios in ARAM, he only knew how to charge forward with the red and white blades.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is very powerful, but the direct disciples of the inner sect, including Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, are all below level 80.

Just swallow two Immortal Herbs at once, then wait.

"Could it be a problem with my name? If I change my name to Yasuo, could I obtain Yasuo's martial soul?" Ning Feiliu couldn't help but say.

Transmigrating to an otherworldly realm with mystical powers, having the chance to defy the heavens and change his fate, and gaining a method to possess powerful combat abilities instead of being a weak Support Spirit Master who is at the mercy of others—isn't this a good thing?

Have some self-awareness about your level; would the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo dare to risk offending Dugu Bo just to take you to Dugu Bo's home?

Either the Sword Douluo or the Bone Douluo is stronger than Dugu Bo and could easily defeat him, it's true, but Dugu Bo's strength doesn't lie in one-on-one duels.

Enter the Yin Yang Extreme Spring inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?

What kind of place is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? I believe everyone is familiar with it; that is the Poison Douluo's lair!

Never mind how to enter the Yin Yang Extreme Spring for an hour without dying—there are ways to do that; just copying the original plot's answer from San Ge would be enough.

One really shouldn't push their luck and be picky; never mind that this would be Aphelios's weapons as a martial soul, even if he obtained the Troll's martial soul, Ning Feiliu would be willing!

But... he looked at the small text before him, feeling a headache.

Unless your entire family consists of Title Douluo.

But how are you going to enter the Sunset Forest? The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is in the Sunset Forest, and the perimeter is full of vicious Soul Beasts that are tens of thousands of years old, though there are no Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts.

Ning Feiliu shook his head helplessly, but his eyes began to shine.

If Dugu Bo were to quietly come here and unleash a major attack, it would absolutely be enough to wipe out the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

That is why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect usually doesn't dare to offend Dugu Bo too severely, and most importantly...

What is Ning Feiliu, anyway?

A son of the Sect Master with only level four Innate Soul Power; Ning Fengzhi has five sons, and Ning Feiliu is not irreplaceable.

Only Ning Rongrong is irreplaceable; in the eyes of Ning Fengzhi, the Sword Douluo, and the Bone Douluo, all the sons combined are not worth a single finger of Ning Rongrong.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu knows just by thinking about it that before he displays talent that is vital to the sect, even if he is Ning Fengzhi's son, the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo would never agree to such a request.

"Think about what San Ge did... Actually, as long as I copy San Ge's answer and use those descriptions of the poison's symptoms and the detoxification plan he gave Dugu Bo, I can gain Dugu Bo's trust and get in!" Ning Feiliu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he muttered to himself.

He closed his eyes directly, frantically recalling the original plot of Douluo Continent...

When does Dugu Bo's poison flare up, and where does it itch and where does it hurt? Is it the armpit? Or under the arm?

It seems like there's pain at the location of a certain rib, too?

Or is it an unbearably intense itch?

Damn it!

Ning Feiliu opened his eyes, his expression grim; he couldn't recall a single detailed word, and going up to Dugu Bo and saying this would just provoke Dugu Bo into killing him!

How did the protagonists in those fan-fiction novels memorize such nonsensical and unimportant things by heart?

Or do those guys have photographic memories?

Regardless of how those guys do it, Ning Feiliu simply cannot recall the detailed timing and symptoms of Dugu Bo's poison flare-ups from the original text.

He can only remember some vague, ambiguous words, and he isn't even sure if that's what Tang San said in the original text.

Let alone using this rhetoric to fool Dugu Bo!

Does that mean he has to give up on this method?

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, Ning Feiliu caught sight of some medicinal residue left in the bowl he had just finished drinking from.

In an instant, the light on the medicine bowl distorted once more.

Ning Feiliu looked at the medicine bowl and was stunned for a moment.

Because on the residue at the bottom of the bowl, a line of small text was floating.

【Found the detailed prescription for the cold-dispelling medicinal soup, obtained 100 days of Singed's apprentice experience】

Singed is the name of an alchemy master!

Ning Feiliu knew this.

As long as I figure out the detailed prescription for this cold-dispelling medicinal soup, I can obtain one hundred days of alchemy apprentice experience?

Could it be that his ability refreshes according to his thoughts?

Then why can he not obtain other Martial Soul Forging Methods?

But now is not the time to be picky; if he could turn his own martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, into the five weapons of the Crescent Moon's Solemnity as his martial soul, he could shed the identity of a fragile support and gain the power to fight.

"Prescription... one hundred days of Singed's apprentice experience." Ning Feiliu pondered, "It is very likely that my ability triggers related tasks when I see certain relevant things, and upon completion, I will receive the corresponding rewards."

"Since that is the case, I must first continuously trigger tasks in herbalism and Pharmacology to raise my level to that of Tang San before I go to hoodwink Dugu Bo."

He had a bit of a headache; after all, in the areas of herbalism and Pharmacology, going from a pharmacy novice to the level where one can see through Dugu Bo's toxic symptoms at a glance like Tang San, even with a cheat, is not that easy.

This is equivalent to grinding a classic manual, starting from level 1 and grinding straight to the max level...

Thinking of grinding a classic manual, Ning Feiliu gave a wry smile, "In the end, one cannot escape the word 'grind'..."

But there is no other way; if he wants to defy the heavens and change his fate, he must do so.

"However, the medicinal soup prescription... I can just ask my cheap older brother for it, right?" he muttered to himself.
