System Tasks

Chapter 93 System Tasks

Lan Minghua pulled up the special Blue Silver Grass, soil and all, and put it into his food pouch.

No matter how special this Blue Silver Grass is, it is still just a special Blue Silver Grass that is not very old.

He then left Holy Soul Village without making any further moves.

After all, the only ones who had a grudge against Lan Minghua were Tang San and his son; it had nothing to do with Holy Soul Village.

[Ding, you have a new system task. Do you want to view it?]

On the return journey, the system's voice appeared in Lan Minghua's mind.

"System task? My task is to take on apprentices and earn Master Points to use for lotteries and become stronger, right? How come there's a new system task?"

Filled with curiosity, Lan Minghua called out to the system: "System, check the system tasks."

[System Task: Given that the host has five apprentices who have achieved significant learning, a system task is hereby issued.]

[Mission: Achieve the following rankings for your disciple in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Soul Master Exchange Tournament: First Place, Second Place, Third Place, and Fourth Place. Reward: 8000 Master Points.]

Lan Minghua looked at the task and fell into deep thought.

He knew that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had only been holding a Soul Master Exchange Tournament for a few minutes, but he didn't expect that this damn system would come as soon as it smelled it.

"You don't even know the competition rules, how come you've already got champion, runner-up, third place, and fourth place? System, aren't you being a little too confident?"

Lan Minghua grumbled, somewhat speechless at the system tasks.

Just as he was wondering, Wu Song's voice came again through the telepathic transmission.

"Sect Leader, the rules for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Soul Master Exchange Tournament have been released. Soul Masters under the age of thirty can participate, and it's an individual competition with a total of 128 participants. They will be divided into two brackets: 64 to 32, 32 to 16, and so on. The winner of each bracket will advance to the finals to compete for the championship."

Lan Minghua frowned after hearing Wu Song's telepathic message.

"Hiss, this damn system actually guessed the format correctly. But this format is happening a bit too often."

He felt uneasy; although Oscar and his friends were exceptionally talented, they were still young.

The chances of winning against Soul Masters under the age of thirty are not high.

"If we can't get into the top four, the 8000 Master Points we've already secured will be gone. That's a considerable resource, enough to boost the Tianlong Gang's strength to a new level in a short time."

His brow furrowed, his mind racing: "No matter what, I must get those 8000 teacher points!"

This format means that Oscar and his team not only have to face strong opponents, but also have to fight continuously in a short period of time.

This poses a huge challenge in terms of both physical and spiritual energy consumption.

[Ding! Host, please don't underestimate this system. Douluo Continent is just a low-level fantasy novel; this system can still briefly foresee the future.]

The system's voice sounded again, its anthropomorphic tone tinged with disdain.

Upon hearing the system's response, Lan Minghua couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Since you can foresee the future, could you reveal which Soul Masters are participating in this Soul Master Exchange Tournament? And who are Oscar and the others' opponents?"

[Beep, insufficient host permissions; unable to obtain detailed information.]

"Tsk, what a stingy system." Lan Minghua gave the middle finger out of nowhere. "What can your system do besides issuing tasks?"

He took a deep breath and began to carefully consider his options.

"Although Oscar and his group possess the strength of a Soul Master, making them invincible among Soul Masters under the age of twenty, the competition format follows the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament, allowing Soul Masters under the age of thirty to participate."

"Moreover, this Soul Master Exchange Tournament will definitely be more difficult than the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament. After all, the three upper sects will also send their direct disciples, whose strength is incomparable to that of people from advanced Soul Master academies."

Lan Minghua knew very well that the only ones around twenty years old who could pose a threat to Oscar and his group were perhaps the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall.

However, given Tang San's shameless nature, he will definitely involve those twenty-nine-year-old soul masters from the three upper sects.

The soul power of these soul masters from the three upper sects is definitely not lower than level 45, and may even reach the level of Soul King.

After all, Hu Liena, a member of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, was already a Soul King in her early twenties.

For direct disciples of the three upper sects, breaking through to the Soul King level at the age of twenty-nine is not a particularly difficult thing.

"It's too difficult for a Soul Master to win against a Soul King."

Lan Minghua sighed, "Especially when facing those disciples of the three upper sects who are exceptionally talented, Oscar and the others are still too young and suffer from the disadvantage of age."

He suddenly thought of a question and asked Wu Song via telepathy, "Erlang, are there any explicit rules in the competition that prohibit the use of weapons other than martial spirits?"

At this moment, Wu Song in Shrek Academy paused, then picked up the letter from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to examine it.

After carefully reviewing it, he transmitted his voice to Lan Minghua: "No, the competition rules clearly state that anything other than martial souls can be used in the competition."

"Yes, Erlang, I understand." Lan Minghua's lips curled up slightly upon hearing this.

If they could only use their martial souls, it would be very difficult for Oscar and his team to get into the top four.

However, if one can use something other than a martial soul, then that's a different story.

Don't forget, Lan Minghua is a man who possesses the Divine Hundred Chains.

The latest novel is first published here!

What kind of magical artifact (soul tool) could he not create by hand?

"Tang San is really a shrewd old fox, allowing the so-called Soul Master Exchange Tournament to use things other than Martial Souls. He must be very confident in his hidden weapons."

Lan Minghua chuckled softly; Tang San's little scheme had actually done him a great favor.

Although he had only recently broken through to the Soul Master level, he still wanted to achieve a good result.

Otherwise, the competition rules wouldn't have included allowing the use of anything other than martial spirits during the competition.

Little did Tang San know that his actions would actually do Lan Minghua a great favor.

Therefore, Lan Minghua decided to show him that his prized hidden weapons were nothing but trash in the eyes of others.

"Originally, I didn't want to give Oscar and the others too much help, wanting them to experience life-or-death situations firsthand so they could become stronger and more independent. But now, for the sake of those 8000 instructor points, I have to equip them with something."

Such magical artifacts (soul guides) as the Three Treasures Pearl, the Black Armor, the Devouring Beast, the Gilded Ruyi, and the Empty Cry.

None of them are weak; they can at least elevate the strength of Oscar and others by one level.

At that time, fighting opponents of higher levels will be a piece of cake.

Thinking of this, Lan Minghua did not rush back to Shrek Academy, but instead turned a corner and headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

After all, the manufacture of these magical artifacts (soul tools) still requires raw materials, and they must be genuine materials.

Although he looked down on Tang San's hidden weapons, the Tang Clan's powerful hidden weapons were still very lethal if they were made.

For the safety of Oscar's disciples, Lan Minghua must be extremely careful in selecting the materials for the magical artifacts (soul tools).

"Tang San, you think your hidden weapons are enough to guarantee victory? Heh, this time I'll show you what truly powerful tools are."

A hint of mockery flashed in Lan Minghua's eyes, and he quickened his pace as he headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

At this very moment, the Azure Bull Python emerged from the Lake of Life in the Starry Sky Forest.

Because it draws life force from the Lake of Life, its missing essence is restored faster than imagined.

The Azure Bull Python gazed beyond the Starry Sky Forest, its azure pupils radiating a boundless killing intent.

"My essence has almost been restored. It won't be long before I can avenge Erming. Lan Minghua, your death is nigh!"

In an instant, a chilling killing intent swept out.
