[Name: Lin Yan]
[Age: 19]
[Luck: Red (Top-tier Child of Fate!!)]
[Physique: Innate Fire Veins, Great Emperor Bloodline…]
[Realm: 7th stage Life and Death Realm]
[Opportunity: In the Heavenfire Secret Realm, inherits the Flame Emperor’s legacy… (Interfering with the protagonist’s fate will yield a large number of luck points!!)]
“As expected, Lin Yan really is a top-tier Child of Fate with red luck!”
Looking at Lin Yan’s panel, Ye Mu thought to himself. He then looked up, gazing at Lin Yan with calm eyes.
“Do you need something?”
Lin Yan, feeling the eyes all around him, realized he had acted impulsively. He wanted to awkwardly leave, but then… he saw the Archaic Bell again.
In an instant, rage surged to his head. He gritted his teeth and shouted, “Ye Mu!! How dare you steal my opportunity!”
The moment he spoke, countless disciples around turned to stare at Lin Yan like he was an idiot.
“Wait, does that guy… know what he’s saying?”
“The Holy Son stole his opportunity? Is he talking about the Archaic Bell?”
“Hahaha! Steal his opportunity? The Archaic Bell only recognizes a master after nine chimes! Does Lin Yan not know his own limits? And he dares accuse the Holy Son of stealing?”
Every disciple around sneered at Lin Yan without exception.
But Ye Mu, who was the target, narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Lin Yan, thinking silently.
“So this is the instinct of a Child of Fate? He can even sense something like this?”
Only Ye Mu knew the truth—that the Archaic Bell did originally belong to Lin Yan… He had simply stepped in and made it recognize him first.
But so what?
Right now, the Archaic Bell was his. It had nothing to do with Lin Yan anymore.
“Junior Brother Lin, let’s not spout such laughable nonsense. What do you mean I stole your opportunity? The Archaic Bell recognized me after I struck nine times. What does that have to do with you?”
Ye Mu smiled, the corners of his lips lifting slightly as he spoke.
Lin Yan was speechless… he knew full well Ye Mu was right! But he couldn’t accept it!! He really couldn’t!! A sacred artifact like that had fallen into the hands of someone like Ye Mu, that bootlicker!
Wait—!
Bootlicker!?
Lin Yan’s eyes lit up. He quickly looked up and glared at Ye Mu, threatening, “Ye Mu, this Archaic Bell is extremely important to me! I came here to ring the bell, but you got here first! I hope you’ll hand the bell over to me… otherwise…”
Ye Mu narrowed his eyes. “Otherwise?”
As soon as the words fell, Lin Yan’s lips curved smugly… A threat like that might mean nothing to others, but he knew Ye Mu was a total simp.
He’d even given up his own precious resources for Junior Sister Su! What was a mere Archaic Bell to him?
But to Lin Yan’s shock—Ye Mu didn’t agree. Instead, he let out a loud laugh!
“Pfft—”
“What are you laughing at?!”
Lin Yan asked in confusion.
Obviously, at how dumb you are.
Ye Mu couldn’t believe it. After everything that had already happened between him and Su Qianqian, Lin Yan still thought he was the same simp from before…
“I suggest you go back and ask what’s happened between me and Su Qianqian these past few days…”
Ye Mu grinned at Lin Yan.
He wasn’t afraid of Lin Yan finding out that he’d already been the one to take everything. In fact… he was hoping for it!
After all, messing with a Child of Fate’s mental state… earned rewards too.
With that, Ye Mu turned and walked away from the martial arena.
Leaving Lin Yan frozen in place, face blank and stunned…
…
Back in the Holy Son Hall, Ye Mu opened his system panel.
[Name: Ye Mu]
[Age: 19]
[Luck: White (Ordinary, with faint signs of danger)]
[Physique: Supreme Yang Sacred Body]
[Realm: 5th stage Life and Death Realm]
[Technique: Supreme Yang Heaven-Burning Art (6th Layer)]
[Luck Points: ]
“My luck changed from black to white!!”
Ye Mu immediately noticed the shift in luck! The weight in his heart finally eased!
“Even though my life’s no longer in danger, white luck is still far from enough! I have to raise my luck to purple, gold… even red!! That’s the only way to be safe!!”
Resolving this in his heart, Ye Mu opened the system store.
After gaining so many luck points just now, it was time to spend them!
Ye Mu already had a plan. What he lacked most now were offensive means! And the most suitable attack type for someone with the Supreme Yang Sacred Body… was naturally one of the world’s legendary Heavenly Flames!
But in the system store… there were plenty.
[Green Lotus Core Flame: —— Luck Points]
[Purifying Demon Lotus Flame: —— Luck Points]
[True Dragon Heart Flame: —— Luck Points]
So many powerful flames that Ye Mu was dazzled, and a bit indecisive.
But then… his gaze landed on a particular flame.
[Primordial Yin-Yang Lotus: —— Luck Points (A supreme Heavenly Flame born with the world during the Primordial Era!! Contains overwhelming yin and yang energy. The wielder’s physique, spiritual power, and dual cultivation effectiveness will all be enhanced…)]
There was no doubt! This Heavenly Flame was perfect for Ye Mu!! But… the price was shockingly high!
Even the Supreme Yang Heaven-Burning Art only cost 10,000 luck points—though that might’ve been due to its strict comprehension conditions.
Still, this proved just how expensive the Primordial Yin-Yang Lotus truly was!
Ye Mu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said in his heart, “Purchase Primordial Yin-Yang Lotus!!”
Boom—!!
With the disappearance of 100,000 luck points, a Heavenly Flame suddenly appeared in front of Ye Mu!!
The flame was gray, radiating both blazing Supreme Yang Qi and freezing Supreme Yin Qi!! As if it would first burn someone to death and then freeze them into an ice sculpture!
Ye Mu took a deep breath and began refining the Primordial Yin-Yang Lotus!
Thanks to his Supreme Yang Sacred Body and mastery of the Supreme Yang Heaven-Burning Art, he successfully refined the flame quickly!
His realm soared from the 5th stage… to the 8th stage Life and Death Realm!!
“A month from now, I’ll head to the Flame Inheritance and claim that legacy!!”
Ye Mu steadied his aura and murmured to himself.
The Flame Inheritance!!
Left behind by a supreme expert known as the Flame Emperor! It was said that those who passed the trial would inherit his full legacy!
The original Ye Mu, obsessed with Su Qianqian, had ignored this event entirely.
But now that Ye Mu had taken over, of course he had to go! Not only go—he had to seize the inheritance and once again steal Lin Yan’s fate!!
Let Lin Yan’s mental state completely collapse!!
However, the Flame Inheritance was still a month away. During this time, Ye Mu still had plenty of things he could do.
Like dual cultivating with Su Qianqian.
Or helping his master treat her cold poison… and if possible, maybe even take advantage of her just a little…
