Douluo: Infinite Lottery System

"Xiao Wu, what are you doing?" Tang San asked, watching Xiao Wu with her hands clasped together, muttering a prayer.

"I hope Brother Tianyang will be in a better mood after defeating him, so he'll forget that I took you away," Xiao Wu closed her eyes and whispered.

Tang San fell silent for a moment, then turned his gaze to Xiao Tianyang, lost in thought. Over the years, despite the constant beatings, it couldn't be denied that both his and Xiao Wu's combat skills had greatly improved. 

Even the smallest progress now was enough to scare anyone. It had only taken Tang San half a minute to force Dai Mubai's thousand-year spirit ability out. 

But when it came to Xiao Tianyang's strength, Tang San was uncertain. Every time they fought, it always felt as if he and Xiao Wu had been overwhelmed before Xiao Tianyang even used half of his power.

This was when they had the advantage of soul skills and hidden weapons, while Xiao Tianyang fought with nothing.

The last time Tang San had truly felt Xiao Tianyang's overwhelming strength was when he'd grabbed his second soul ring, the Ghost Vine, with his bare hands and coiled it around his palm.

Meanwhile, Xiao Tianyang stood in front of Dai Mubai and tilted his head.

"Are you Dai Mubai?" he asked. Then he remembered the sign outside and the familiar plot. Some suspicions formed in his mind, but he needed confirmation.

"I am," Dai Mubai nodded but frowned. "Do we know each other?"

"I don't know you, but I will soon," Xiao Tianyang said with a sly smile, his lips curling up in a way that felt as warm as sunshine, leaving Dai Mubai momentarily stunned.

"I'll let you make your move first," Xiao Tianyang added, a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"That's what you said!" Dai Mubai's eyes flickered as he prepared for battle, his fists wrapped in golden light. Suddenly, with the might of a tiger leaping from the forest, he shot upwards, and the air around him seemed to crush the atmosphere.

The chandelier above swayed violently, the decorations rattling with the intensity of his attack. Xiao Tianyang didn't flinch. He merely smiled.

"Don't!" The twin sisters, hiding behind a stone pillar, cried out in alarm.

This only made Dai Mubai more enraged. The woman he had brought was falling for another man? That was unacceptable! He was going to knock this kid down, no matter what!

The two were only a meter apart when Xiao Tianyang raised his foot and kicked lightly.

Boom!

Before anyone could even react, not even the twin sisters could keep their concern. Dai Mubai was sent flying, vanishing from sight.

A muffled groan echoed, and everyone turned to see Dai Mubai sprawled against the outer wall, a good distance away. He was kneeling on one knee, clutching his chest with one hand while supporting himself on the ground with the other. His face was pale.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Tianyang asked with a smile, while the rest of the room stood in stunned silence, as if this was all just an everyday occurrence for him.

"How much strength did you hold back?" Dai Mubai slowly lifted his head, fear flickering in his eyes.

That kick felt like he had been hit by a ten thousand year soul beast, flung about like a rag doll. There had been no resistance, only the sensation of being crushed by an overwhelming force.

If the kick had been any harder, he felt certain he would have been torn in half.

"Thirty percent of my strength," Xiao Tianyang replied modestly, though his hand was raised, showing the number five with his fingers.

Dai Mubai twitched his mouth. "What are you playing at?"

"You've lost," Xiao Tianyang said nonchalantly.

Dai Mubai let out a heavy breath, trying to stand, but his legs felt weak. He could only gesture toward the twin sisters, who had their eyes solely on Xiao Tianyang.

This time, no matter how frustrated he was, he had to swallow his pride and admit defeat. Otherwise, even his biological father wouldn't be able to save him now.

The twin sisters hadn't defected during battle, but even as they supported Dai Mubai, their eyes remained locked on Xiao Tianyang. To be blunt, the feeling was almost like diving straight into it. 

After taking a couple of steps, Dai Mubai suddenly turned around and asked, "Are you talking about including martial souls, soul rings, and soul power?"

"Of course not," Xiao Tianyang replied with a smile, shaping his lips as he spoke.

"Then I understand," Dai Mubai muttered inwardly, "What a monster... thankfully, he's not twelve yet, or it would be disastrous!" But then, Dai Mubai realized that the twin sisters he was holding had stopped moving.

He turned back to look at Xiao Tianyang, who was greeting them with those large, sparkling eyes. Damn, isn't this too much?

Dai Mubai pressed his hands to the twin sisters, and they quickly responded, helping him leave.

Of course, their attitude didn't seem to be one of fear of Xiao Tianyang. It was more like they wanted to get rid of Dai Mubai quickly to return to Xiao Tianyang.

As the people began to disperse, Xiao Wu slowly walked over.

"Brother Tianyang, are you not angry anymore?" she asked.

Xiao Tianyang turned around with a smile. "Angry? How could I be angry?"

Seeing his expression, Xiao Wu's pretty face fell, and she moved closer, gently pressing her head toward him. "Brother Tianyang, you'd better hit me, so I'll suffer less."

"Okay, it's settled then, let's not make a show out of it," Xiao Tianyang waved his hand, signaling that it was fine to fight as a form of discussion. He wasn't so ruthless as to strike her directly.

Xiao Wu felt relieved and hurriedly dragged Tang San upstairs, not even giving him a chance to speak.

Xiao Tianyang shook his head. Seeing Dai Mubai here today meant he hadn't missed anything, but something was off.

Why hadn't the mission triggered with Dai Mubai? If the system had a face, its nose would certainly be crooked with frustration. Did it ever consider what kind of strength Dai Mubai had? And what about his own? Was he some boy thrown around money?

"Manager, I have a room reservation. Can you show me?" Xiao Tianyang asked, his tone casual.

The manager, crawling out from behind the counter, checked the reservation with trembling hands. He nodded immediately upon confirming it.

Just then, a girl in a white skirt entered the door. After glancing at the chaos around her, she frowned slightly, seemingly debating whether to stay at this hotel.

But then her eyes fell on Xiao Tianyang at the counter, and they immediately lit up. Without hesitation, she made up her mind.

She walked over to the counter to check the price list, then pointed at a room and said to the manager, "I'd like a room that's pure and white..." Her words were clear and enchanting, which made Xiao Tianyang turn his head to take a second look. She was beautiful, there was no denying that.

"I'm sorry, but the last room of that type has already been booked by this gentleman," the manager stammered, lowering his head nervously. He had seen Xiao Tianyang's strength and didn't want to offend him.

The girl looked at Xiao Tianyang and flashed a sweet, captivating smile. "Brother, Would you be willing to give me your room?" she asked.

The way she addressed him made Xiao Tianyang feel unusually comfortable. He had no strong preferences for accommodations, so he casually replied, "Alright."

Xiao Tianyang clicked on another room and added, "Can you show me now?"
