Douluo: After being reborn, who would still be a licking dog?

Death Valley.

The night was as dark as ink, and the cold wind pierced the bones.

Xiao Yan sat cross-legged, with only the faint sounds of breathing and a heartbeat echoing through the silent darkness.

"I died, but not really. Instead, I was reborn into the world of Douluo, becoming Yan of the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall."

Xiao Yan immersed himself in his thoughts, reflecting on his past experiences, and couldn't help but feel a surge of indescribable emotion in his heart.

In his previous life, he was a coward who had lost himself for the sake of love, pouring everything he had into a manipulative woman who only took from him. In the end, he perished along with her.

Having experienced death once, Xiao Yan's heart underwent a complete transformation.

"Luckily, I didn't truly die. I survived in another way."

Xiao Yan began to assess his current body.

In this life, his body had undergone a massive change. He felt an overwhelming surge of power within him, as if boundless energy awaited his discovery.

Xiao Yan now had the memories of both lives and knew what kind of person Yan was in this world.

Yan, a prodigy with dual fire and earth attributes, possessed the top-tier ancient beast spirit—the Flame Lord. He was a member of the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall, along with Xie Yue and Hu Liena, and was hailed as one of the Spirit Hall's Three Stars.

He should have had an incredibly bright future, but because of his infatuation with Hu Liena, he degraded into a pitiful simp, ultimately achieving nothing.

Yet, Hu Liena betrayed Spirit Hall for Tang San, becoming a backstabber and ungrateful wretch.

To make matters worse, Yan repeatedly lost to Tang San.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I've been reborn into another simp's body. Is this a coincidence or destiny's arrangement?"

"But since I get to live again, I, Xiao Yan, will never be a simp again, and I certainly won't let history repeat itself!"

"This time, I will live for myself!"

From the memories of this life, Xiao Yan realized that he was currently sixteen years old.

At this moment, he was in Death Valley.

Death Valley was a territory exclusive to Spirit Hall.

Compared to places like the Star Dou Forest, Sunset Forest, or Icebound Forest, which were filled with soul beasts, Death Valley rarely had soul beasts over 10,000 years old.

But for young spirit masters training here, it was still a terrifying place.

Most of the soul beasts here moved in packs and were extremely vicious. Without the guidance of a teacher, the young spirit masters could only rely on their strength and will to survive.

For them, every training session was a test of life and death.

Every year, many young spirit masters of Spirit Hall lost their lives here, which is why it was called "Death Valley."

Of course, danger and opportunity often coexist. Only under pressure could one unlock their inner potential.

Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena had all reached the 39th rank in spirit power.

This time, under the orders of the Supreme Pontiff, Bibi Dong, the three of them had come to Death Valley to train in order to break through the 40th rank and acquire their fourth spirit ring as soon as possible.

At this moment, there were less than three years remaining until the next Continental Elite Spirit Master Tournament.

As a reincarnated individual, Xiao Yan knew that Spirit Hall was determined to win the championship of this tournament.

This was because the current generation of Spirit Hall students was exceptionally outstanding, known as the Golden Generation.

Among them, Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena stood out due to their exceptional personal abilities, earning the title of Spirit Hall's Three Stars.

As the elites of Spirit Hall's younger generation, they carried high expectations.

Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong had even prepared three priceless spirit bones specifically for this tournament.

These three spirit bones were practically tailor-made for the three of them.

One was the Wisdom Skull of Spirit Concentration, another was the Speedy Left Leg Bone of Wind Pursuit, and the third was the Fiery Right Arm Bone of Explosion.

Of these, the Wisdom Skull was the most precious, being 60,000 years old, obtained by the previous Supreme Pontiff, Qian Xunji, after hunting a soul beast.

As Bibi Dong's beloved disciple, Hu Liena was highly favored, and the Wisdom Skull was naturally prepared for her.

The left leg bone, which enhanced speed and strength, was meant for Xie Yue.

As for the fiery right arm bone, which boosted fire-attribute spirit masters' attack power, it was undoubtedly prepared for Yan.

After absorbing a spirit bone, not only would a spirit master's physique be strengthened and spirit power increased, but they would also gain an additional spirit bone skill.

Therefore, in this world, spirit bones were treasures that every spirit master dreamed of obtaining.

However, they only dropped from soul beasts under rare circumstances, making them extremely difficult to come by.

For Bibi Dong to take out three spirit bones as prizes for the tournament showed just how confident she was in the Three Stars of Spirit Hall.

But as a reincarnator, Xiao Yan knew that things wouldn't go as smoothly as Bibi Dong expected.

The team from Shrek Academy, led by Tang San, who possessed twin spirits, would become the biggest disruptors in this tournament.

According to the original plot, Tang San would use his venomous Eight Spider Lances to poison Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and others, rendering them unable to fight.

And Yan, unable to face six opponents alone, would lead to Spirit Hall's defeat.

In the end, all three spirit bones would fall into the hands of Shrek Academy.

Fortunately, none of this had happened yet, and there was still time to change things.

Xiao Yan silently vowed in his heart: "This time, I will never let that bastard succeed! The spirit bones that rightfully belong to me will not fall into the hands of others!"

[Hu Liena will not be the female lead.]
