[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the skill: Eyes of Divine Light.]
"???"
What the heck kind of skill is that? Where's the skill description?
Just as Suifeng was still confused, he suddenly lost consciousness—and a memory fragment played in his mind.
What a sunny and beautiful day, with red flowers and green grass…
A handsome holy monk pressed his palms together and spoke compassionately to a man:
"Good sir, there must be two-thousand -year-old snake spirits in your home. One white, one green."
The man's expression flickered at these words, and then he responded resolutely:
"I'm willing to be enchanted by beautiful women! Baldy, mind your own business!"
The monk frowned. "Deluded and unrepentant—there's no point in talking. Very well. Today, I will expose their true forms!"
Two stunning women stepped out of the house. One wore a white dress, the other a green one—both were breathtaking, heart-melting beauties. Seeing the young monk, their faces filled with panic.
"You monsters! I could tell with one glance you're not human!"
The monk pointed between his eyebrows—golden light burst forth as his third eye opened. Divine radiance spread like a Buddha's presence descending.
"Ahh~ nnngh~ stop~"
The two beauties screamed, shielding their eyes with their sleeves, but it was useless.
Soon, their true forms were revealed—they were, indeed, two snake demons.
"Hmph! Did you dare stay even after seeing me? You don't take me seriously. Time to capture demons!"
The monk formed a Buddhist seal with his hands.
"Mighty Heavenly Dragon! Flying Dragon Soars! Defying Heaven, Only Death Awaits! Tempting Mortals Deserves Punishment! Prajna Paramita—GAN!"
Suifeng was hyped. This skill was seriously overpowered! That "Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Flying Dragon Soars" incantation was wild!
"Churning rivers and crashing waves!"
The snake demons weren't backing down. With a wave of their sleeves, they stirred up a massive storm.
It looked impressive, but the monk dismissed it with a sneer, effortlessly neutralizing their attacks.
"You're still holding out with such weak tricks? Petty magic, showing off in front of a master? Mighty Heavenly Dragon—GAN!"
…
After a while, the memory fragment ended.
[Congratulations on successfully integrating the memory. You have acquired the skill of Eyes of Divine Light. For details and cultivation methods, please check your skill panel.]
"Let's see… Eyes of Divine Light… Effect: Unknown. Cultivation method: Gaze directly at the blazing sun and absorb the light within to strengthen the eyes."
Several question marks popped up over Suifeng's head.
"System, this training method isn't messed up, right? Don't bully me just because I'm not educated! Our teachers told us not to stare at the sun—we'll go blind!"
[Host, did your teacher ever tell you not to randomly travel to other worlds? Since you've already transmigrated, stop thinking like an ordinary person.]
"You're… roasting me now? The system, you've changed~"
The Invincible Myth System ignored him. Suifeng, feeling bored, decided to give it a shot and test out the cultivation method.
According to the instructions, he first focused energy on his eyes. Soon, his clear, black-and-white eyes began to glow with a faint golden hue. Mysterious golden light flickered within. He slowly looked up toward the blazing sun.
AHHHHH! MY EYES!
It was eye-searing. He couldn't keep his eyes open and had to close them in pain.
"Damn… how is this supposed to work? I can't even open my eyes!"
Frustrated, but unwilling to give up, Suifeng told himself—if others can cultivate it, so can I!
He forced his eyes open and stared directly at the blinding sun.
Slowly, his golden pupils turned slightly red—a sign of damage. Tears welled up in both eyes.
Don't ask why my eyes are always brimming with tears—it's because I love this land so deeply.
—This was Suifeng's most sincere inner feeling at that moment.
He trained for a full hour. Finally, he felt a strange, bright energy from the sun gathering in his eyes—saturating them. The noon sun was no longer so harsh. Suifeng slowly closed his eyes.
The moment his eyes shut, he felt the world spin. Everything went dark, and he collapsed to the ground.
That hour had felt like an eternity. Every second was torture.
The eyes are one of the most fragile parts of the body—well, except for one other thing in men.
Training like this was like frying his eyeballs in a pan for a full hour. The pain was beyond words.
Compared to this, the Ten Tortures of the Qing Dynasty were child's play.
It took a long time for his dazed mind to recover. He shakily opened his sore eyes.
"Thank goodness… I'm not blind."
Even with the system's certification, he still worried—what if he did go blind? It's not like he could switch careers and master soundwave detection, right? That'd make him a sewer-tier character. Might as well go back to the village and collect scrap metal—maybe even score a stainless-steel basin.
[Are you questioning this system? All system products are top-tier! No exceptions!
But… I did forget to remind you: you were supposed to start with the mild morning sun and build up gradually.
Didn't expect you to be so hardcore and train right under the noonday sun. Respect.]
"You what? You didn't tell me!"
[You didn't ask me.]
"......…"
[Don't be discouraged. Sticking with it has definite benefits—because noon sun training has the best effect. Don't believe me? Check your status.]
"Check personal info."
Suifeng opened the menu, half-believing.

So, Eyes of Divine Light had been activated too?
All that suffering hadn't been for nothing.
The system might be shady, but at least it didn't lie. Let's see what this skill can do.
Without hesitation:
"Eyes of Divine Light—activate!"
He didn't grow a third eye like in the memory fragment—his pupils just turned faintly golden. The change gave him an air of nobility and mystery, no longer the usual goofball aura.
His vision sharpened—he could now clearly see the mountains, rivers, and even a flock of birds flying overhead.
He could even tell which ones were male and which were female.
Then he looked toward a group of housewives washing clothes by the river—graceful, charming, and full of inadvertent… displays. Everything was crystal clear.
Ahem.
Truly a divine skill—like a 15x scope.
Too bad it couldn't see through walls.
It didn't seem very useful for now. If there were a PUBG tournament in Douluo, he could headshot everyone with a red-dot sight.
Sadly, Douluo Continent wasn't hosting one anytime soon.
Suifeng stopped daydreaming and glanced at the sun sinking westward. Time for his daily sparring session with Tang San.
"Yo, Tang San, I'm here!"
Suifeng greeted cheerfully as he approached the meditating Tang San.
"......…"
Tang San calmed his inner force.
Ever since agreeing to spar with Suifeng, he'd accidentally unlocked the ability to remain composed when his training was interrupted.
No secret, really—he just got interrupted so often that he got used to it.
"Suifeng, when's your birthday? Mine's in January. You must be younger than me, right?"
"Don't sweat the details. How about this—I'll call you big bro."
Suifeng smiled wickedly.
Tang San nodded thoughtfully. Having a little brother didn't sound so bad.
But then Suifeng added:
"Then you call me 'Dad.' We'll each have our own thing going on, deal?"
Tang San's face darkened. "You're asking for it!"
With that, he rushed forward—his steps light and deceptive, movements fluid and strange.
Suifeng focused, sensing the attack coming from the right.
Eyes of Divine Light—activate!
His dark, lively eyes turned gold. He smirked:
"Sweetheart, I see you~"
He could see every move Tang San made—even the use of Mysterious Jade Hand.
But… what good was seeing it?
Predicting the attack didn't help much—he had no offensive skills.
All he could do was dodge the moment Tang San struck.
Tang San's blow missed. He spun, kicking from the side.
"Huh? Dodged again?"
Landing, he grabbed three pebbles and threw them at Suifeng in a triangular pattern—still no hit.
"Too slow~" Suifeng yawned, teasing.
Tang San realized something was different today.
Before, Suifeng just reacted quickly—countering move for move.
But today… it felt like every attack had been seen beforehand.
"Don't get cocky. The fun's just beginning."
He launched another fierce offensive.
After all, no one would ever expect Suifeng to initiate an attack, right?
Half an hour later…
"Still cocky, huh? Calling yourself 'Dad'? Say it again?"
Tang San sat on Suifeng's waist, casually taunting.
"Cough cough—no more, San-ge! I was wrong!"
Suifeng looked embarrassed. He thought having a new skill would let him go toe-to-toe with Tang San.
He didn't expect to lose from pure exhaustion.
Sure, he'd been training, but compared to Tang San, who'd been cultivating for 2–3 years, it was nothing.
Suifeng sighed. Was he the most miserable transmigrator ever?
Getting beat down while others probably already had ten-thousand-year soul rings…
Tang San was panting slightly too.
Sparring with Suifeng was both physically and mentally exhausting.
Every time he missed an attack, he'd hear:
"That's it?"
"With that speed, I'm surprised you were born first."
…and other such nonsense.
He decided—never sparring with this guy again.
Winning wasn't even satisfying. It just made him want to—
In the end, Suifeng always chickened out faster than anyone.
Looking at Suifeng's innocent puppy eyes and pitiful face, Tang San just couldn't bring himself to hit him hard.
He might be a guy, but punching such a cute kid still felt wrong.
Suifeng noticed—and smiled faintly.
As expected, Tang San was an "honest" guy.
If you beg fast enough, you avoid the beating.
"Ah—you're hitting me?!"
Suifeng cried out.
Tang San couldn't bear to watch. He closed his eyes and got one solid hit in.
"Phew~ much better. Cleansed my soul."
Tang San climbed off Suifeng, who was now curled up, hugging his knees and doubting his life choices.
"Guess you really can't piss off 'honest' people.
And Tang San… that guy's not honest at all!"
"Next time—next time, I swear, I'll be on top!!!"
Suifeng made his vow once again!
