Unlock Kamen Riders in Douluo's Way

When they left the Soul Beast Forest, they returned to the spot where the Fang family members had fallen. Burial was out of the question. In this place, no matter how deep you dug, soul beasts would unearth the bodies. It was pointless. Fang Xin came back to say goodbye and gather a few personal items.

As they left the Soul Beast Forest and arrived at the small town where Su Xuan had first left Yin Xiaoya, she penned a letter home. She packed it with the recovered belongings and entrusted a special messenger to deliver it to her family. She didn't need anyone to coddle her; soon, she'd shaken off her grief. She had, without a doubt, learned a lot this time.

Of course, the one who gained the most was Luo Pupu. Not only did she seem more radiant, but her martial soul was stronger and more impressive. She'd become something of a big sister to everyone, especially the boys, who constantly begged her to transform. In truth, she'd tried to transform, but for some reason, the Sengoku Driver wouldn't materialize as a belt around her waist, and the Grape Lockseed refused to open. Defeated, she could only look at Yin Xiaoya with pleading eyes.

"Kamen Rider, just like a soul master, needs a threshold, but the threshold isn't about strength. It's about this." Yin Xiaoya pointed to his chest. "A Kamen Rider is an idealistic warrior. There are many ways to explain it—gentle kindness, unyielding will, fearless courage, selfless dedication. Though I hate to admit it, pure malice, outbursts of anger, endless hatred, bottomless desire… these are all sources of idealism. They can all become the spirit that a Kamen Rider needs. Your heart is still growing, so don't worry. That day will come."

In the history of Kamen Rider, whether decent or villainous, there existed a heart that drove them to fight: Kuuga, who protected people's smiles; Faiz, who protected people's dreams; Kabuto, who managed everything in the sky; OOO, who wanted to reach out to the world; or the self-proclaimed god who was intoxicated and conceited in his dream. Regardless of their alignments, their charisma was undeniable, and it stemmed from their hearts.

"So that's the case," Luo Pupu said, nodding with a partial understanding. "Does that mean my heart isn't strong enough? Don't worry, big brother. I'll definitely find a way to make myself stronger."

Yin Xiaoya managed a wry smile. The girl understood the right direction, but these things couldn't be forced. They had to be forged through experience. Some things remained difficult to grasp, even with the hardships they endured, because they were too young.

Aside from himself, Su Xuan, and Jing Tieyang—the three adults who could transform instantly—probably only that girl could do it.

Yin Xiaoya glanced at Fang Xin, who sat silently in a corner of the carriage, fast asleep. Yes, from the moment I rescued her, I saw some adult personality charm from her, although it is undoubtedly a sad thing for a girl of her age to understand these now. But there is no doubt that she is very suitable to be a Kamen Rider now.

"You seem optimistic about Fang Xin?"

Su Xuan's voice startled him. He turned to her and nodded without hesitation.

"Fang Xin has the qualifications now. If there was a Kamen Rider power suited for her, I'd want her to become one right now. But I don't think that day is far off."

"First Pupu, and now Fang Xin… Although Fang Xin hasn't officially joined Shrek yet, it's basically a certainty, right? You make me feel like you're poaching students."

Though she was complaining, her tone was more teasing. She didn't expect Yin Xiaoya to nod.

"I wouldn't call it poaching. I really want to pass on the power of Kamen Rider. That's why I want to chat with your principal about it."

Because he was giving the power of the Kamen Rider to the natives of this world, the system determined that the seeds of the Kamen Rider were planted in this new world by him. This was a very good thing for the Kamen Rider system.

Counting events like saving Fang Xin, fighting the steel-toothed ape-bat, and turning the Green Fruit Swamp Dragon into Rider power, a lot of points were generated. The system was still calculating.

It was also because of this that Yin Xiaoya found the meaning of his existence in this world: to pass on the Kamen Rider as a legacy.

This was the first time Yin Xiaoya had said this out loud. The carriage wasn't big, and everyone heard it. After a few seconds of stunned silence, they cheered. Jing Tieyang's soul power suppressed them.

"Quiet!"

Intimidated, they shut their mouths, but their starry eyes remained fixed on Yin Xiaoya. Jing Tieyang gave him a helpless look.

"Boy, to be honest, Miss and I are optimistic about you, and I think what you just said is good. This isn't trivial, and it isn't something you can accomplish simply by thinking about it. Those guys in the academy have weird tempers. Rejection would be mild; I wouldn't be surprised if they drove you away."

Yin Xiaoya frowned and looked at Su Xuan. Was that true? She nodded, embarrassed. "No matter where the academy is, it'll never be satisfied with the pursuit of power. Shrek is the same. As Uncle Jing said, we have inexplicable rules, many of which are unwritten. If you want to transmit new power at Shrek Academy, you'll be challenged unless you show strength that catches their eyes. Otherwise…"

Yin Xiaoya's mouth twitched. Even in a different world, Shrek was Shrek. What a strange thing.

"Mr. Su, that's just the senior department. If big brother comes to our elementary department, no one will give him trouble!"

Luo Pupu's words piqued Yin Xiaoya's curiosity. "Advanced department? Elementary department? This is…?"

Under Fang Xuan's explanation, he understood. In Shrek Academy, aside from a group of crippled martial arts students specially recruited by Master Yu Xiaogang, the others were divided into high and low departments based on strength and talent.

The Elementary Department was a general department. Those who were young, like Luo Pupu, and who had just awakened for a few years were placed there. If they didn't break through three soul rings before twenty, they'd stay there until graduation. The higher divisions were where geniuses from the lower divisions gathered after being promoted.

Su Xuan was a student in the Higher Department. Yes, she was just a student. Students in the advanced department had an obligation to lead and guide the students in the elementary department, so the elementary students had to call them "teacher," even if they were younger. Jing Tieyang was a genuine full-time teacher.

Yin Xiaoya was only twenty, and he wasn't a soul master. In terms of strength, he was on the same level as Su Xuan or a little stronger, but he was much weaker than Jing Tieyang. If someone like that tried to become a full-time employee to pass on the power of the so-called Kamen Rider, the higher department wouldn't be convinced, and neither would the full-time teachers.

But if he dealt directly with the Elementary Division, no one would object. On the contrary, many people in the Elementary Division might not be able to develop on the path of soul masters, and they might even welcome Yin Xiaoya.

For Luo Pupu's statement, all the students present nodded.

"Little girl, you've forgotten your current situation. You'll be promoted to the Higher Ministry as soon as we get back."

Su Xuan's reminder made Luo Pupu remember that, because of her martial soul evolution and Yin Xiaoya's help, her second soul ring was pulled to the thousand-year level. She was a special case, and she'd be dragged to the higher department for special training upon their return.

"Uh… big brother, why don't you come to the higher department to try?"

"Jiii~~~" Everyone cast contemptuous glances at her.

Yin Xiaoya smiled. "As I said, a tough heart is important for a Kamen Rider. If I shrink back, I can't be considered a Kamen Rider. Whether it's the advanced or elementary department, I care about the heart, not the soul master's strength."

"Hehe, you are an interesting guy." Su Xuan suddenly moved closer and asked curiously, "Since you've said that, do you think I have the qualifications to become a Kamen Rider?"

Yin Xiaoya glanced at her and teased, "Miss Su, you're joking. Even if you had the qualifications, do you really need Kamen Rider power?"

From the look in his eyes, Su Xuan quickly understood. She asked, surprised, "You can tell?"

"Of course," Yin Xiaoya said, moving closer, his voice narrowed to a whisper. "The martial spirit you released earlier is the bow of the arrow species, and its quality is about the same as Uncle Jing's purple iron ghost spear—middle-to-top rank. Isn't that strange? There's no way for that martial spirit to make you reach level 48 at nineteen. So you must have another one hidden, right? A top-level martial spirit that you've never cultivated."

Whether it was because they were too close, or because Yin Xiaoya had revealed that she was a twin martial soul, Su Xuan's face flushed with embarrassment, then turned pale with shock.

"Cough cough!"

Jing Tieyang, sitting across from them, coughed loudly. Su Xuan startled, quickly put some distance between them, and turned her head, her ears red. She stopped talking.

Yin Xiaoya scratched his head. Could it be that this matter couldn't be brought up? Had he made her angry? [Sigh… Although I am pleased with your ability as a Kamen Rider, your performance in other areas is unsightly.]

"What are you talking about? By the way, when did you come out? Are the points counted?"

[Yeah, it's alright, host. You've made a fortune this time. You've got 30,000 points, enough to squander for a while.]

Yin Xiaoya was stunned. "Wait, it's just points? Did I get anything else?"

[Really, if you put this spirit somewhere else… forget it, let's not talk about it. You guessed right. Besides points, you also got three chances to draw in a row.]
