"Shameless..."
"Tang San, can you be any more shameless?"
"..."
Lying in bed, Xu Ran carefully savored the scenes described in the novel he held in his hands.
Tang San, the protagonist of Soul Land and a person like the favored son of heaven, was once again shown off by others.
Seeing this, Xu Ran didn't hesitate and directly recharged one million Qidian Coins, casually awarding a Silver League.
"It's a pity that even after reading over a hundred fanfictions, I can't do a thing. If I could transmigrate to Soul Land and had great talent, what would being the protagonist count for?"
"Alas, it's too bad I can do nothing but watch Qian Renxue and Bi Bidong get bullied by Tang San and his disciples. Plus, there are so many pretty girls in Soul Land—Ye Lingling, Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu... they all seem lonely."
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the 'Host' for obtaining the qualifications to transmigrate to Soul Land. Now binding to the mission system, system binding in progress..."
"Ding, 'Host' can enhance their strength by completing missions assigned by the system..."
A soft and gentle female voice rang out, and Xu Ran suddenly found himself engulfed in darkness. In the darkness, Xu Ran felt his body lighten, and heard the whistling of wind past his ears; it seemed as if he was undergoing a trans-dimensional journey.
Could it be...
Xu Ran's spirit lifted. Could it be that he had transmigrated?
And to Soul Land?
"System Miss, what's going on?" Xu Ran's eyes lit up as he suddenly remembered that his system was a 'Miss', with a very sweet voice.
"After system checks, the 'Host's' thoughts align closely with system requirements, thus you are qualified to become the system's 'Host'," the System explained.
"So that's how it is," Xu Ran nodded, somewhat enlightened.
But what else could he think about transmigrating to Soul Land other than putting on airs, flirting with girls, and tackling Tang San? It seemed the System Miss shared some dissatisfaction with Tang San, just like him.
"System Miss, could you hurry up a bit? Does transmigration take this long? Are you not capable?" Xu Ran couldn't help but urge, as he was eager to set foot in Soul Land.
At this moment, Xu Ran was looking at a dark scene before his eyes, leading him to suspect that this darkness was what experts called a black hole. If he passed through this black hole, he would enter the space belonging to Soul Land.
"'Host'-brother, I'm just a girl; how could I not manage? It's only boys who can't manage, all the boys can't handle it," said the System Miss in the System Space, unseen by Xu Ran. She was wearing a floral dress, sitting on a fragrant bed, her charming eyes looking through the void at Xu Ran, smiling sweetly.
Xu Ran: "..."
"System Miss, you can't just say anything. The 'Host' here is very capable," Xu Ran quickly denied, for as the chosen 'Host', how could he be weak? If he were weak, how could he have been chosen as a transmigrator? Such an allegation was an outright slander.
He, Xu Ran, had lofty goals; if he were too weak, how could he flirt with girls in the future?
"Hehe, how would I know that? I haven't seen anything," said the System Miss with a teasing tone, her voice carrying a seductive charm that made Xu Ran unable to suppress a bold idea. The System Miss must be very pretty—then wouldn't that mean he could...
"I am merely a virtual character, 'Host' must not have such improper thoughts," the System Miss said softly, detecting Xu Ran's thoughts.
"Of course, the 'Host' here is so upright, a gentleman par excellence, how could I have any indecent thoughts." Xu Ran laughed, and even if the System Miss was beautiful, she was just a virtual character. But there were countless beautiful girls waiting for him to discover in Soul Land.
"By the way, System, don't you dare transmigrate me into a child. If that happens, it would be better to just let me die," Xu Ran suddenly reminded, thinking of the fanfictions where numerous transmigrators had to acknowledge fathers; it was so cheap.
As a transmigrator, having to recognize a father, an adoptive one or a teacher without having achieved anything was nothing less than embarrassing.
What's more, if he transmigrated into a child, or even an embryo, developing from a fertilized egg, how could that be fun?
How would he then flirt with girls? Would it be like playing house with children?
"'Host'-brother really is such a person, but if 'Host'-brother doesn't follow the timeline, things could get messy. If you follow the plot, maybe you could take Tang San down and become the protagonist," the System reminded.
"That doesn't really matter, with System Miss here, I won't end up too miserable, right? Just transmigrate me as a twelve or thirteen-year-old with no parents, that's all. Also, remember the timeline must be just before Tang San and his gang go to Shrek Academy," Xu Ran said, reminding her. The timeline for Shrek Academy was crucial—if he was late, all the girls might be taken by others, and that wouldn't do at all.

"Ding, arranging identity for the host..."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for becoming a collateral branch member of the Zhu Clan in the Xingluo Empire. You just turned twelve years old this year and are orphaned."
"Ding, the talent standards for twelve-year-olds in the Soul Land have been detected. The host's current Cultivation Level is at level 31."
"Congratulations to the host for receiving the newcomer gift pack. Would you like to open it?" the System continued.
"Open it," Xu Ran said directly.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the System-assigned Martial Soul, 'Godslayer Sword'."
"[Godslayer Sword]: An extraordinary divine sword from ancient times, extremely powerful, and grants a one hundred percent damage bonus against the War God Residence."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the first hundred-year soul skill, Blood Kill."
"Blood Kill: With a strong aura of slaughter, the user becomes the Killing God, wielding the sword with an intense breath of Blood Kill, possessing terrifying lethality."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the second hundred-year soul skill, Star Concealment."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the third thousand-year soul skill, Sword Qi Across."
With the sound of the System, a series of mysterious information entered Xu Ran's mind.
"Xingluo Empire, Zhu Clan, orphaned, 'Godslayer Sword'." Xu Ran smiled. He hadn't expected to start off like this. In the Xingluo Empire, the Dai family and Zhu Clan were the most influential, and now he had become a disciple of the Zhu Clan, which was not too bad.
"And this Martial Soul..." Xu Ran looked at the long sword that had appeared abruptly in his hand and couldn't help but be stunned. The 'Godslayer Sword' was three feet long, with complex and mysterious runes engraved on its sheath which Xu Ran could not comprehend. Drawing the sword, a chill flashed, jolting Xu Ran's spirit. All information about the sword was transmitted into the center of Xu Ran's forehead.
Vaguely, Xu Ran seemed to see a figure in a black robe, wielding the 'Godslayer Sword,' and with each swing, many fell. Those people all had ten Soul Rings; they were from the Divine Residence, but their lives seemed so fragile under the 'Godslayer Sword,' unable to withstand even a single blow.
After a long while, Xu Ran emerged from that memory image. Holding the pitch-black 'Godslayer Sword,' he couldn't help but feel excited. His palm rested on the blade, with the sword emitting roars as if recognizing its master.
Xu Ran sheathed the 'Godslayer Sword' and collected his thoughts before walking outside. The 'Godslayer Sword' was both his Martial Soul and a divine artifact. Even if he did not unleash his Martial Soul, he could always carry it in his hand.
Sword weapons are different from other Martial Souls. As a swordsman, the sword is inseparable from the body.
"Ding, mission release."
"Please have the host stand out in the Zhu Family meeting three days later and have the Zhu Family Patriarch grant a marriage, to become Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé."
"Mission reward: One hundred Skill Points. Note: Skill Points can be used to upgrade the age of Soul Rings or enter the lucky draw."
