[Ding! Detected that Chu Fan is engaging with a fortuitous opportunity. Consume 1,000 Destiny Points to seize it?]
[Notice: Due to current fate confusion, the required Destiny Points for seizing are reduced.]
Although the system couldn’t predict what opportunity Chu Fan would obtain because of the fate confusion, it could still lock onto it once he truly engaged with it. The moment the prompt appeared, Su Ming instantly chose to seize it without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, the Three Saints Golden Lotus appeared before Su Ming. Immediately after, the Chaos Spirit Crystal refined it into chaotic Qi right in front of him. Seeing this, Su Ming’s eyes lit up. He had been worried that the aura of the Three Saints Golden Lotus might leak out and be discovered by Li Jianping, making it hard to explain. But now, not only was that worry gone, the benefits were even greater.
After absorbing the chaotic Qi for a while, he could feel his physical body strengthening in every aspect.
[Ding! Detected that Chu Fan is engaging with a fortuitous opportunity. Consume 1,000 Destiny Points to seize it?]
“Seize it! With such a low cost, anyone who doesn’t know might think I can’t afford it.” Su Ming continued, “System, from now on, no matter what opportunities Chu Fan gets, seize them all for me!”
With 108,000 Destiny Points in hand, spending 1,000 was nothing. He had to take advantage of the fate confusion to plunder as much as possible. However, after only seizing four Three Saints Golden Lotuses, things quieted down again. This Child of Destiny’s opportunities were rather disappointing. Even so, four lotuses had already filled Su Ming’s room with chaotic Qi. Even simple breathing could enhance his physical strength.
[Ding! Detected that Chu Fan is naturally forming a special physique—Flame Sun Fire Body (Fire Poison Mutated Variant). Interfere with the formation?]
The Flame Sun Fire Body was a naturally fire-attributed physique, considered a weaker version of the Profound Sun Spiritual Body and fairly common. Since Chu Fan obtained it through the refinement of fire poison at Flame Prison Cliff, it carried fire poison traits. As expected of the Protagonist, there was always something unique about him.
“System, don’t interfere with the formation of the Flame Sun Fire Body. How many Destiny Points are needed to remove the fire poison mutation?”
[Destiny Points can be used.]
“Good, deduct the Destiny Points and remove the fire poison mutation. Let Chu Fan obtain the Flame Sun Fire Body.” Su Ming wasn’t trying to help an enemy, but rather had already realized this was just one instance of interference. Chu Fan would, due to fate, gain special physiques again in the future. Instead of letting him acquire a more powerful one later, it was better to lock him into this now. That way, Chu Fan’s growth path would be fixed and easier to counter.
After the Destiny Points were deducted, the system went quiet again. Su Ming couldn’t be bothered to monitor it continuously and simply took out other cultivation resources to continue his cultivation. He also noticed that the Chaos Spirit Crystal had no interest in absorbing lower-grade resources.
“In this world, the only treasures that compare to the Three Saints Golden Lotus are probably the Awakening Spring Water from Jixia Academy and the Divine Wood Fruit from Medicine Spirit Valley…” Jixia Academy and Medicine Spirit Valley were the second and third most powerful forces in the world. Coincidentally, Su Ming’s fiancée, Luo Ningshuang, was currently at Jixia Academy. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
“When I go to the mysterious ruin, I’ll drop by Jixia Academy too.”
With that thought, Su Ming resumed cultivation. When he opened his eyes again, two days had passed. After two days of intense cultivation, using up all his cultivation resources, Su Ming finally broke through to the Longevity Realm.
He looked down at his hands—not particularly muscular, yet they held strength capable of striking with a force of 500,000 kilograms. “Vitality flows like the sea, bones and tendons as tough as jade—this is the Longevity Realm. One of the main characteristics of the Longevity Realm is rapid recovery from injuries…”
Thinking of this, Su Ming glanced at the weapon in the room. It was a short sword of Longevity Realm quality, a birthday gift from Uncle Meng. He picked it up and slashed his hand with force. The blade only left a faint white mark on his palm.
“It’s said that ancient ferocious beasts could naturally ignore weapons below the Nirvana Realm. I’m probably just a little behind that.” With the strength of a single arm capable of lifting 500,000 kilograms, he could already rival the peak of the Longevity Realm. As for his body, there was no question—it could easily withstand Longevity Realm-level weapons.
“All these changes are probably thanks to the Chaos Spirit Crystal helping my Supreme Chaos Physique advance further…” Now that cultivation had ended, Su Ming noticed some slight changes in his Supreme Chaos Physique compared to before.
“Tomorrow is the sect’s grand competition for the younger generation…” At this point, Su Ming genuinely didn’t know how he could possibly lose. He even started to look forward to it, hoping Chu Fan could become stronger so tomorrow wouldn’t be too boring.
Just as he tried to check on Chu Fan’s status through the system, a Three Saints Golden Lotus appeared before him. “Looks like Li Jianping still hasn’t given up on having Chu Fan consume the Three Saints Golden Lotus.”
Su Ming instantly stored it into his storage ring to prevent its aura from leaking, then checked his status panel.
He immediately understood why the Chaos Spirit Crystal appeared a bit dim.
[Name]: Su Ming
[Realm]: 1st stage Longevity Realm (Single-arm strength: 500,000 kg)
[Innate Abilities]: Supreme Chaos Physique (1st layer), Innate Dao Bone
[Techniques]: Creation Origin Codex (1st tier), Three Saints Sutra (3rd tier)
[Items]: Will of the Heavenly Dao*2, Chaos Spirit Crystal
[Destiny Points]:
Clearly, during his cultivation, the system had seized many of Chu Fan’s opportunities.
[Child of Destiny Chu Fan’s current realm: 2nd stage Longevity Realm.]
“You’ve got to be kidding me?!”
After spending so many Destiny Points, Chu Fan still managed to surpass him in realm?
[Ye Nantian used spiritual infusion to raise Chu Fan’s cultivation. This process could not be stopped.]
“Oh, so it was infused. That’s fine, then.”
Everyone knows that self-cultivation > pill consumption > spiritual infusion. Even if Chu Fan had broken through through his own cultivation, Su Ming would’ve just been a bit surprised. Their combat strength would never be equal.
“Young Master! I’ve returned!” Uncle Meng pushed the door open and entered the room. His face looked weary, clearly from running around tirelessly during this time.
Su Ming found it hard to believe that someone at the Star Realm could exhaust themselves like this.
“Young Master, this is all the information about your fiancée… There are some things that this old servant is unsure whether to say or not…”
“If it shouldn’t be said, then don’t say it. It’s unlucky. Uncle Meng, you’ve worked hard. Go rest first. I’ll review everything and make my decision after.”
Su Ming took the information gathered by Uncle Meng and quickly looked through it. “My fiancée… really isn’t ordinary.”
