Lin You was surrounded by a crowd of uncles, pulled left and right. The stubble on their chins almost scratched his face raw. "Good boy, you've got some skills!" "Killing those losers in one strike, letting out a big mouthful of pent-up anger for our Lin Family!" "Awesome!" "Your sixth uncle doesn't have many valuable treasures on him, take this Aphrodisiac Powder, don't be polite!" Before Lin You even recovered his wits, a jade bottle was shoved into his hand. A faint fragrance drifted out from it. Aph... Aphrodisiac Powder? Lin You looked up in a daze. "Sixth Uncle... I'm still young, this isn't appropriate." Sixth Uncle said carelessly, pushing the jade bottle right back. "You kid don't understand." "This stuff can come in extremely handy at a critical moment." "I'm just afraid your silver spear with a wax head won't be able to hold up!" "Big brother asks me for it every few days, it works super well!" Lin You looked awkwardly toward First Elder Lin Tao. The latter's cheeks were flushed red. He coughed forcefully twice. "Old Six." Sixth Uncle said smugly, "What is it, Big Brother?" Lin Tao cursed angrily, "Exposing my old bottom, looking for a beating!" The two old fellows, whose ages added up to several thousand years, actually began chasing each other through the void. The upper and lower ranks of the Lin Family were exceptionally merry. Everyone was happy for Lin You. With the strength of the True Core Realm, he might really be able to seize first place in the Heavenly Pride Competition! By then. The Lin Family could also completely break free from the shackles of the lower three tribes. Until everyone returned to the Lin Family. And closed the heavy gates. Only then did they speak their true thoughts. "You'er, you really gave us a huge surprise this time." Lin Tao's face was written full of paternal warmth as he dotingly patted Lin You's head. "This is what I should do." "After all, I'm also a part of the Lin Family." Lin You smiled brightly. "However..." Lin Tao's tone took a sharp turn. "I still have to remind you of two things." "This Heavenly Pride Competition features one particular prodigy." "He possesses the Supreme Bone, which appears once in a million years, and the Twin Pupils, which are the symbol of a saint." "If you truly want to win first place, he will undoubtedly be your formidable opponent." Hearing this, Lin You felt his heart skip a beat. What the hell? A Child of Destiny! Supreme Bone and Twin Pupils. He was familiar with them, far too familiar. They were from a book written by a certain red-haired old monster in Blue Star's past life. Weren't those precisely the Supreme Bone and Twin Pupils? The most crucial part was, that legendary Desolate Heavenly Emperor had only started out with a Supreme Bone. He hadn't seen the Twin Pupils two-in-one package, had he? "Brother Tao." "Is he very strong..." Lin You shrank his neck back. Being targeted by a guy like this, who had the Child of Destiny and protagonist script, definitely meant there were no good days ahead. As a mere bumpkin who had time-traveled and relied entirely on the system, he would likely be crushed to pieces. Lin Tao nodded deeply. "Not very strong." "He's strong to a degree that's hard to describe in words." "Think about it, how vast is the entire Seventh-grade Star Domain, and just universes like Tianluo alone number in the thousands." "That person was noticed early on by big figures, and if I'm not mistaken." "After this Heavenly Pride Competition, he will marry into an Everlasting Family as a matrilocal husband." "In the Seventh-grade Star Domain, over a million years, when has a person of such talent ever appeared?" "In days to come, becoming the honored sovereign and ancestor might not even be impossible." Hearing this, Lin You panicked even more. Such a badass brother definitely had a hundred-percent win rate in cross-realm battles! With his own True Core Realm cultivation, he was guaranteed to be farmed like a normal experience dungeon. And worst of all, after beating him up, the guy might even shout out a line. My fate is up to me, not the heavens! [Ding!] [Quest issued: Win first place on the Heavenly Pride Rankings!] [Quest reward: Crit Roulette x2] [Valid time: Seven days!] [Failure penalty: Death!] Just as Lin You was pondering in his heart how to find a graceful way out for himself, the system prompt sounded. Oh boy... System Bro, you're really trying to grind me to death! This time the quest even specifically marked the penalty, leaving zero room for rejection. Lin You couldn't help shedding tears. "Wuwu..." "Brother Tao." "I can handle it!" "I can definitely handle it!" Lin Tao patted his shoulder, "You're not forcing yourself, are you?" Lin You wiped his tears as the penalty of death hung overhead like a sharp sword, leaving no room for refusal. "Not forcing it, Brother Tao." "I really can do it!" "For the Lin Family, I can do anything!" Seeing this, Lin Tao was overjoyed. "A good lad should be just like this." "No matter what Twin Pupils or Supreme Bone he is, just go and fuck him up!" "Back in the day, people called this old man trash, and didn't I still turn over a bunch of prodigies?" Everyone nodded repeatedly. They had all come up through that exact path. What was there to be scared of?! At this moment, their gazes toward Lin You were filled with gratification. As expected of the Lin Family's child. He had backbone! Lin You felt like crying without tears. Do you guys actually have any idea about the gold content of a Child of Destiny, hello?! There's only one every million years. Supreme Bone. Twin Pupils. With such overpowered vests stacked together, didn't they know what kind of component the opponent was? A textbook cheating player! The second round only had one day of rest time. Lin You didn't dare to delay for even a second. After hurriedly finding an excuse, he bolted into the secret chamber to cultivate. "Brother Tao." "Cultivation resources, I want them in massive amounts." "I want all of them!" Lin Tao: "No problem!" Inside the secret chamber, Lin You's dog-like luck defied the heavens. The Colored Roulette landed on a one-hundred-fold acceleration once again! [Ding!] [Acquired 10,000 cultivation speed!] [Time limit: Three days!] He didn't dare to delay for the slightest fraction of a second, solely to avoid being killed off like a monkey! "Cultivate!" "I want to cultivate!" ... On the other side. Within the Land of Blood Slaughter. Inside Senran Hall. A youth with starlight hidden in his dual pupils and faint traces of lightning flashing across them sat upon the Bronze Throne. His aura was as vast as the sea, and every breath stirred up anomalies in the void. With just a slight lift of his hand, boundless mighty force emerged behind him. It felt like pressure originating from the soul, a kingly aura stemming from deep within his blood and marrow. --Crack. The wine cup in his hand shattered. He stood up, his eyes revealing madness. "What did you say?" "I... Qin Feng, am actually not the sole candidate for the Everlasting Family?" "Is Uncle joking with me?" Down below, the Qin Family Elder trembled with fear. Facing this prodigy who appeared only once in a million years, even as an elder, he didn't dare to harbor the slightest bit of defiance. "Feng... Young Master." "It really is like this. I saw with my own eyes that Envoy Zhuge went to the Lin Family." "To ask whether the Lin Family's Young Master, Lin You, is willing to marry into the Everlasting Family as a matrilocal husband." --Boom. Monstrous might erupted. Qin Feng laughed out of rage, smashing the Bronze Throne into powdery debris. "What kind of thing is that Lin You?!"
"How dare anyone contend with my radiance within this Seventh-grade Universe."
"Who here can withstand one move from me!"
"Outrageous, simply too outrageous!"
The Qin Family Elder lowered his head, not daring to utter a single word.
Qin Feng was not only a genius of the Qin Family, he also held the lifeline of the lineage's future.
It could be said.
Right now, within the entire Qin Family, no one was more important than him.
Naturally, that included himself.
"Lin You... has probably broken through to the True Core Realm."
"That is why Envoy Zhuge went to recruit him."
Qin Feng sneered. A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, but it quickly faded into the haughty pride of a peacock.
"So what if he is in the True Core Realm?"
"At this age, at most he is at the True Core Realm First Heaven."
"He probably piled it up forcefully relying on external medicinal pills anyway."
"A castle in the air, shattering at a single touch."
"Even if I fight across realms, I will not yield to him by even a fraction!"
The Qin Family Elder nodded repeatedly.
This Young Master was good at everything: he had talent, looks, and decent character.
He was properly the candidate for a perfect young master.
Yet there was just one flaw: his tolerance was somewhat lacking!
He felt that he was the most badass being in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, and could not tolerate anyone else displaying even the slightest bit of brilliance.
The Qin Family also possessed other geniuses.
Yet under Qin Feng's radiance, none of them could ever stick their heads out.
Even sharing the same renown as him was something Qin Feng considered an insult.
An indescribable, murky light flickered in Qin Feng's eyes.
He rose to his feet, gazing out at the distant firmament.
"Rest assured, Uncle."
"I will personally prove just how mistaken Envoy Zhuge's decision is."
"Lin You,"
"will be crushed by me without a shred of suspense!"
