1: Chapter 1: Winning Over a Goddess Begins with Building Affection

Douluo Continent, in a village outside Soto City.

"Boss Su, do you feel any better?"

"Our academy is recruiting new students again. It seems like a lot of people came today! Much more than previous years."

Oscar said this while pushing open the door. Just as the door opened, a strong medicinal smell rushed out, making Oscar cough twice. He stood at the doorway and looked at Su Ling inside without taking another step forward.

"You go ahead first, I'll come over to take a look later," Su Ling responded.

"Alright, I'll go prepare. I should be able to sell a few Sausages today. Boss Su, do you want one?"

"No need, your Sausages don't help much with my recovery."

Su Ling waved his hand, refusing Oscar's Sausage.

Watching Oscar leave quickly, a hint of helplessness appeared in Su Ling's eyes.

Thinking back to over a month ago, the predecessor of this body died after failing to absorb his fourth spirit ring.

Although he Transmigrated over and seamlessly inherited the memories and body, and survived through sheer willpower, he also inherited the painful consequences of the failed spirit ring absorption.

"Damn it, the predecessor failed to absorb the spirit ring, so why do I have to bear all the pain?"

This was what left Su Ling most speechless. The key was that it had been a month and a half, and he hadn't waited for any Transmigration benefits; there wasn't even a Golden Finger or System daddy.

Slowly getting dressed, Su Ling decided to go take a look at the arrival of Tang San and the others.

After all, in his previous life, Su Ling was also a Douluo fan, having read the novels and watched the anime several times.

He was still interested in seeing the characters from the original work.

It was a coincidence that the original owner even had some grudges with the Clear Sky Sect and even the Spirit Hall.

But just as Su Ling stepped out of the door, a mechanical sound suddenly appeared in his mind, which sounded like music to Su Ling's ears at this moment.

[Ding... Detected a Goddess with a comprehensive value over 90 within 500 meters of the host! System officially activated!]

[Goddess: Ning Rongrong]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 93]

[Binding Requirement: Favorability above 60]

[Current Favorability: Unknown]

What is this?

Su Ling stopped in his tracks because a light screen that only he could see appeared before his eyes.

"System, you... why didn't you come out sooner?"

[Goddess: Xiao Wu]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 94]

[Binding Requirement: Favorability above 60]

[Current Favorability: Unknown]

...

[Goddess: Zhu Zhuqing]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 94]

[Binding Requirement: Favorability above 60]

[Current Favorability: Unknown]

"Are all three Shrek beauties here? What is this Goddess Comprehensive Value? What effect does it have after binding with a Goddess?"

[Ding... Congratulations to the host for opening the System storage space, 10,000 cubic meters, can store living things.]

[Ding... Congratulations to the host for obtaining a System gift package, 1. 100,000-year Healing Spirit Ability card * 1, 2. Goddess Forced Binding * 1 (Forcibly raises favorability to 60 and directly binds the Goddess, Note: Host must complete the binding within 1 hour, or it will expire), 3. Physical Comprehensive Quality Enhancement * 1 time (Host must be in good health for it to take effect)]

"Good, very good!"

[The Goddess Comprehensive Value is a value given based on the Goddess's own appearance, talent potential, etc. Once it reaches 90 or above and the favorability reaches 60 or above, the binding condition is met! The host will know the effect after binding!]

Looking at the information on the light screen, Su Ling's excited heart thumped, but this movement triggered the injuries in his body, causing him unbearable pain.

Su Ling tried his best to calm down and returned to the room, closing the door tightly.

"System, use the 100,000-year Healing Spirit Ability card on me!"

[Ding... 100,000-year Healing Spirit Ability card used...]

A gentle life force was injected into Su Ling's body, rapidly spreading throughout his entire body.

The injured meridians and internal organs were constantly being repaired under this powerful life force, and even the hidden illnesses left behind from Su Ling's previous Cultivation were cured along with them.

In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Su Ling's injuries had completely recovered as if they had never happened.

Although Su Ling's injuries were severe, they appeared insignificant under the healing of a 100,000-year Spirit Ability.

After all, looking at the current Douluo Continent, a 100,000-year healing Spirit Ability was unique.

Feeling his body recover, Su Ling was in a great mood, but the next second almost made him cry.

A severe pain surged throughout his body.

Could it be that this didn't even heal my injuries?

Fortunately, the System light screen displayed the words [Host body is being strengthened...].

So it's strengthening the body!

That's nothing then, bring it on!

The pain of strengthening the body was far less than the pain caused by his previous injuries, so it didn't mean much to Su Ling.

...

Half an hour later, Su Ling pushed open the door and walked out.

Feeling the fresh air outside, the gloom of the past month or so was swept away.

After his body was strengthened, he thought about finding the Goddesses to reset their favorability, so he spent some time tidying up, washing, and changing into a new set of clothes.

Su Ling's appearance was not bad, even better than Dai Mubai and even Oscar.

At over 1.9 meters tall, combined with a well-proportioned and fit physique, he was a handsome young man.

Su Ling was only nineteen years and three months old now; if this were his previous life, wealthy women would definitely fight over him.

Hmph...

Su Ling clenched his fists, feeling the strength in his body.

His body was strengthened by one time; it wasn't just physical strength, but also power, agility, and so on, which had all been doubled.

Leaving aside Soul Power, just in terms of current physical strength, at level 40, he was not at all weaker than a Spirit King.

"Douluo, I'm here!"

Su Ling muttered in a low voice, then crossed the dormitory area to the edge of the academy square.

Just then, he happened to meet Dai Mubai leading one man and three women walking towards his direction.

At this moment, Su Ling felt as if he had returned to the scenes he watched in the anime; no, this scene was even more wonderful than the anime.

Not to mention Tang San's short-haired, ordinary appearance which wasn't outstanding.

What was outstanding were the three young girls in front of him; the System classifying them as Goddesses was beyond reproach.

The one right next to Tang San should be Xiao Wu, just like in the anime.

A scorpion braid hung down to her lower leg, wearing pink tight-fitting clothes, and those lively eyes looked somewhat mischievous.

On the other side of Xiao Wu was a girl in a white long dress about 1.6 meters tall, with neat, ear-length short hair, skin as tender as a lychee, and exquisite features.

Especially that noble and refined temperament, she looked like a noble girl who had received higher education.

No need to guess, this was Ning Rongrong.

Finally, the woman who was a bit further away from the group should be Zhu Zhuqing, giving people a cold feeling, with long black hair draped over her shoulders, a pretty face, fair skin, and an extremely full and hot figure that didn't match her age.

This was the Shrek trio; in reality, they looked much higher in appearance than in the anime.

When Su Ling looked at them, Dai Mubai also noticed Su Ling in front.

"Su Ling, why are you out? Are your injuries all better?" Dai Mubai didn't call Su Ling "Boss Su" like Oscar, but called him by his name, seemingly with a hint of reproach.

Su Ling said: "I heard the academy is recruiting today, so I came to take a look."

Dai Mubai pointed to the four people behind him and said to Su Ling: "This is the fourth round of assessment today, personally assessed by Teacher Zhao Wuji."

"I know."

Su Ling smiled and looked over, saying: "Everyone, good luck! I hope you all can pass the assessment and join the academy."

"Thank you!" The four responded in unison.

After all, Su Ling greeted them with a smile, and the three girls including Tang San had a good impression of Su Ling. The key was that Su Ling's appearance was not bad, which gave a good impression score.

After the four walked past, Su Ling looked at the System light screen again; the information of the three girls had changed, and the favorability was no longer unknown.

Ning Rongrong favorability 3

Xiao Wu favorability 2

Zhu Zhuqing favorability 1

Damn, it only increased by this much?

Is this the unique tsundere of a Goddess?

But it's normal to think about it; they are meeting for the first time, how much favorability can one sentence get?
