So Panicked... Still Need to Cultivate!

Lin You was surrounded by a group of uncles, hugged and squeezed from all sides.

Their stubble nearly scraped his face raw.

"Good kid, you've got some skill, huh~"

"One-shotting those losers, finally giving our Lin Family some payback!"

"Awesome!"

"Your Sixth Uncle doesn't have any valuable treasures on me, so take this Aphrodisiac Powder—don't be shy!"

Before Lin You could react, a jade bottle was shoved into his hand.

A faint fragrance wafted out.

Aph... Aphrodisiac Powder?

Lin You looked up, dumbfounded.

"Sixth Uncle... I'm still young, this isn't right."

Sixth Uncle waved it off carelessly, pushing the bottle back.

"You don't get it, kid."

"This stuff comes in clutch at critical moments."

"The only worry is if you can't hold out, like a silver spear with a wax tip!"

"Big Brother comes to me for it every few days—works like a charm!"

Lin You awkwardly glanced at First Elder Lin Tao.

The latter's face flushed red.

He coughed twice, forcefully.

"Old Six."

Sixth Uncle puffed up proudly, "What's up, Big Brother?"

Lin Tao snapped, "Spilling my secrets—looking for a beating!"

The two old geezers, whose ages added up to several thousand years, actually started chasing each other through the void.

The entire Lin Family was in high spirits.

All celebrating for Lin You.

With strength at the True Core Realm, he might actually take first place in the Heavenly Pride Competition!

When that time came.

The Lin Family could finally break free from the shackles of the lower three clans.

It wasn't until everyone returned to the Lin Family.

And the gates were shut.

That the real talk began.

"You'er, you truly gave us a huge surprise this time."

Lin Tao's face was full of warmth as he fondly patted Lin You's head.

"It's what I should do."

"After all, I'm a part of the Lin Family too."

Lin You smiled brightly.

"But..."

Lin Tao's tone shifted.

"I still need to give you a word of caution."

"In this Heavenly Pride Competition, there's one genius."

"He possesses the Supreme Bone, unseen in a million years, and the Twin Pupils, a symbol of a sage."

"If you really want to take first place, he'll be your toughest opponent."

Lin You's heart skipped a beat at the words.

Holy shit?

A Child of Destiny!

The Supreme Bone and Twin Pupils.

Familiar, way too familiar.

A book from some red-haired old weirdo on Blue Star in his past life.

Wasn't it exactly about the Supreme Bone and Twin Pupils?

The key point was—

The legendary Desolate Heavenly Emperor only started with a Supreme Bone.

Did anyone see a Twin Pupils fusion?

"Brother Tao."

"Is he really that strong..."

Lin You shrank his neck.

Being targeted by a Child of Destiny, someone with a protagonist's script—

There was absolutely no good in it.

A clueless guy like me, who transmigrated here relying on a system, Would probably get crushed.

Lin Tao nodded deeply.

"Not just strong."

"He's so strong it's hard to put into words."

"Think about it—the entire Seventh-grade Star Domain is vast beyond measure. There are thousands of universes like Tianluo alone."

"That man was noticed by a big shot early on. If I'm not mistaken,"

"After this Heavenly Pride Competition, he'll marry into an Everlasting Family."

"In the Seventh-grade Star Domain, in a million years, has there ever been someone with such talent?"

"In the future, becoming a venerable or an ancestor isn't out of the question."

Lin You panicked even more hearing this.

A bro this awesome—guaranteed to win every uphill battle!

With my True Core Realm cultivation, I'm definitely getting farmed like an EXP dungeon.

After beating me, he'll probably shout, My fate is mine to command!

[Ding!]

[Mission issued: Claim first place on the Heavenly Pride Ranking!]

[Mission reward: Crit Roulette x2]

[Time limit: Seven days!]

[Failure penalty: Death!]

Just as Lin You was thinking of finding an excuse to back out, The system notification rang out.

Oh boy...

System Bro, you're really trying to grind me into dust!

This time, the mission even came with a penalty marked out—no room to refuse.

Lin You couldn't hold back his tears.

"Wah..."

"Brother Tao."

"I can handle it!"

"I can definitely handle it!"

Lin Tao patted his shoulder. "I'm not forcing you, am I?"

Lin You wiped his tears. The death penalty hung over him like a sword, leaving no room for refusal.

"You're not forcing me, Brother Tao."

"I really can do it!"

"For the Lin Family, I'll do anything!"

Lin Tao was overjoyed.

"A true man should be like this."

"Who cares if he has Twin Pupils or a Supreme Bone? Just go for it!"

"Back in the day, people called me trash, but I still crushed a bunch of geniuses, didn't I?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They'd all been through this.

What was there to be afraid of?

At this moment, everyone's gaze toward Lin You was filled with relief.

As expected of a child of the Lin Family.

He had backbone!

Lin You wanted to cry but had no tears.

Do you people even know the weight of a Child of Destiny?

One in a million years.

Supreme Bone.

Twin Pupils.

With such overpowered identities stacked together, you still don't know what you're up against?

He's clearly a cheater!

The second round only had one day of rest.

Lin You dared not waste a single moment.

After hastily making an excuse, he slipped into the secret chamber to cultivate.

"Brother Tao."

"Cultivation resources, lots and lots."

"I want them all!"

Lin Tao: "No problem!"

Inside the secret chamber.

Lin You's luck was absurd.

The Colored Roulette landed on a hundredfold speed boost again!

[Ding!]

[Obtained 10,000x cultivation speed!]

[Duration: Three days!]

He dared not waste a single second, just to avoid getting taken down like some nobody!

"Cultivate!"

"I must cultivate!"

On the other side.

Within the Land of Blood Slaughter.

Senran Hall.

A young man sat on the Bronze Throne, starlight faintly flickering in his eyes, with traces of lightning crackling within.

His aura was like an ocean, and every breath stirred the void around him.

With just a slight raise of his hand.

A vast, overwhelming power emerged behind him.

It felt like a soul-crushing pressure, a kingly presence from blood and marrow.

--Crack.

The wine glass in his hand shattered.

He stood up, madness in his eyes.

"What did you say?"

"I... Qin Feng, am not the only candidate for the Everlasting Family?"

"Uncle, are you joking with me?"

The Qin Family Elder below trembled in fear.

Facing this genius who hadn't appeared in a million years, even as an elder, he dared not show the slightest defiance.

"Young... Young Master."

"It's true. I saw Envoy Zhuge heading to the Lin Family with my own eyes."

"He asked Lin You, the Young Master of the Lin Family, if he was willing to marry into the Everlasting Family."

--Boom.

An overwhelming pressure erupted.

Qin Feng laughed in fury on the spot and smashed the Bronze Throne to pieces.

"What is that Lin You even worth!"

"How dare they try to steal my glory, in this Seventh-grade Universe."

"Who here is even a One-move Opponent for me?"

"Outrageous, utterly outrageous!"

The Qin Family Elder kept his head lowered, not daring to say a single word.

Qin Feng was not only the genius of the Qin family but also the one who held the family's future in his hands.

One could say.

Right now, no one in the entire Qin family was more important than him.

That naturally included himself.

"Lin You... might have broken through to the True Core Realm."

"That's why Envoy Zhuge went to recruit him."

Qin Feng let out a sneer, a flicker of surprise passing through his eyes, but soon he was as arrogant as a peacock.

"So what if he's in the True Core Realm?"

"At his age, he's at most at the True Core Realm First Heaven."

"Probably forced up by relying on external pills and power."

"A castle in the air, shattering at the slightest touch."

"Even if I fight above my level, I won't be a bit inferior to him!"

The Qin Family Elder nodded repeatedly.

This Young Master was good in every way—talented, handsome, and decent in character.

A perfect candidate for the next family head.

But there was one flaw: his narrow-mindedness!

He thought he was the best in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths and couldn't stand anyone else showing even a hint of brilliance.

The Qin family had some other geniuses too.

But under Qin Feng's radiance, none of them could ever stand out.

In fact, even being mentioned in the same breath as him was an insult in Qin Feng's eyes.

A cryptic, unreadable light flickered in Qin Feng's eyes.

He rose to his feet, his gaze fixed on the distant sky.

"Rest assured, Uncle."

"I will personally prove just how wrong Envoy Zhuge's decision is."

"Lin You,"

"Will be crushed by me without a doubt!"
