On the roof of the Copper Sparrow Terrace Hall, beneath the starlit sky,
Nangong Lingyun was sitting astride the ridge, watching a sand-sculpture-style novel through a virtual screen.
The system's shop sold everything, and books, movies, and anime were naturally available.
These entertainment items, which weren't related to cultivation techniques, were very cheap. When he had nothing better to do, he'd occasionally glance at them.
But unfortunately, many webnovel protagonists didn't have a cheat as powerful as his system. Moreover, the antagonists weren't as pure and innocent, nor as universally loathed, as his.
Plus, there were a lot of eunuchs in these novels, and they weren't living as luxuriously as he was. It was hard to get into them.
Half an hour later,
Sensing that Tang San had finally started to interact with the Flying Immortal Token, Nangong Lingyun's lips curled slightly. He sighed softly in his heart, using an exceptionally pure and refined tone:
"Indeed, people only grow through setbacks. Sanzi, I'm not trying to trick you, I'm only doing this for your own good."
Truth be told, Tang San in this time and space was far more resilient than in the original novel. He wouldn't fly off the handle at every turn and knew the meaning of forbearance.
Just from being screwed over by Yu Xiao Gang and still calling him "teacher" was a testament to this.
Facing his own father's surveillance, schemes, and plots, he not only didn't expose anything, but deliberately pretended to mumble in his sleep in the middle of the night, saying things like, "Dad, I only have you," and "Dad, please don't leave me."
Truly impressive.
Sanzi guessed correctly. Even a Title Douluo couldn't maintain 24/7 surveillance without blind spots. After confirming that he had fallen asleep, Tang Hao's mental power quietly withdrew after only five minutes.
Even so, Tang San didn't get out of bed. He still had the covers pulled over his head, not revealing a single flaw.
He simply used one hand to take out the Golden Feather from his embrace and gently pressed it against his forehead.
The next instant, he felt his body… or rather, his soul, suddenly become uncontrollable.
He emerged from his own body, floating in the dormitory room, and then began to slowly drift upwards. His limbs hung naturally, and his vision was fixed diagonally downward. He could see straight ahead above him, and directly below him he could see his feet. It was roughly a ninety-degree sector, with a 180-degree range to the left and right.
It was like a sphere with the top half cut off, and then the bottom half divided in two, with the back half removed as well.
Everything in his field of vision became incredibly clear. He could even see the tremors of every single hair on a mouse in the corner of the room. Some items, such as the soul tools, even emitted a faint glow.
However, what was strange was that he could only passively watch, unable to change anything.
Tang San had long experienced the wonder of the Flying Immortal Token, and he knew that each of its movements would certainly be extraordinary.
But when he saw himself already taking off, moving further and further from the ground, while his body was still lying perfectly on the bed, not even changing its posture, he couldn't help but feel a sense of alarm and fear.
The experience of being a spirit was amazing. It was like having no weight, light and ethereal, and I could overlap with other objects in space.
Moreover, even though I was floating upwards, I could feel a clear and intense sense of weightlessness, as if falling into an endless abyss.
It really felt like being spirited away after death.
Fortunately, after realizing there was nothing I could do to resist, I finally forced myself to calm down.
Tang San's ascent started slowly, like a balloon gently floating upwards. But the higher he went, the faster he accelerated.
Before long, he pierced through the roof, revealing half of Blue Tyrant Academy below him. The other half was behind him, in his blind spot.
He was surprised to find that,
Besides special items like soul tools, all Soul Masters were also emitting light.
White, yellow, purple, black, and a towering, dazzling red pillar of light that shot up into the sky.
The colors corresponded exactly to the colors of ten-year, hundred-year, thousand-year, ten-thousand-year, and hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings.
Among them, the red light originated from a broad-leafed ancient tree with an extremely dense canopy. Without a second thought, aside from that old dog Tang Hao, there wouldn't be a second person sleeping in a tree in the middle of the night.
However, these light spheres or columns didn't seem to be entirely tied to a Soul Master's level.
Also at the level of Great Soul Master, most people, including Yu Xiao Gang, had yellow lights, while Ma Hongjun's had already turned purple.
Dai Mubai's purple was also more intense than Oscar's, with a larger and brighter light sphere.
Soon, as the altitude increased, the area around Fairy Lake began to appear in view.
Surrounding this giant lake were Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, the Heaven Dou Imperial Guard's garrison, Kaiyuan Academy, the Kaiyuan Merchant Guild headquarters, Dugu Manor, Prince's Manor, the Great Soul Arena, and the Great Auction House.
It encompassed almost all of the largest powers in this city.
Each contained at least one red light column, and Heaven Dou Imperial Palace had a full four.
"That is…?"
When Kaiyuan Academy appeared, Tang San, whose emotions had just calmed down, was once again in turmoil.
Because he actually saw an orange and a golden pillar of light.
Previously, Tang San had naturally assumed that red was the highest. After all, Title Douluo was already the final title for Soul Masters, and a 100,000-year Soul Ring was ranked first on the Soul Master's dream list.
But when those exaggerated orange pillars of light appeared, making the red ones look as weak as candlelight, and then the golden, sky-piercing giant pillars that made even the orange ones look insignificant, his mindset completely exploded. The immense shock was simply indescribable.
Red represented Title Douluo, equivalent to at least Title-level combat strength, levels ninety to ninety-nine. So what about orange? Above level one hundred? And what was golden?
Tang San still remembered that Yu Xiao Gang had previously explained to him that surpassing level one hundred meant becoming the legendary God. He had also speculated that Nangong Lingyun's super-limit Soul Rings were very likely related to gods, otherwise, there was no explanation.
He hadn't expected that the Flying Immortal Token would confirm this tonight.
But the confirmation didn't bring Tang San any relief; instead, it became even more twisted, resentful, and painful.
Why couldn't the God who sent him here be like Nangong Lingyun's protector, personally teaching, protecting, caring for, and helping him?
If that God hadn't been so irresponsible, he wouldn't have been so miserably tricked by Yu Xiao Gang, and he wouldn't have been trampled under Nangong Lingyun's feet, unable to resist. It was completely unfair.
The perspective continued to rise, and soon, most of Heaven Dou City was revealed.
Over a hundred kilometers in diameter, a vast river flowed from west to east, with over ten tributaries branching out. Along the way, there were mountains, forests, and lakes.
Surrounding Heaven Dou City were the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the Heaven Dou Royal Holy Knights, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Great Soul Arena Family Alliance, and the Great Auction House Family Alliance.
They looked like satellite cities, incredibly grand and vast.
Several of these locations also had red columns of light rising from them.
