New Golden Finger, Troop Summoning System, Can the System Feel Inferior?

"Lu Meng!"

Someone recognized the blood-dripping severed head and cried out in shock, staring at Lu Yuan with fear, never imagining he would act so decisively, so ruthlessly.

"Lu Yuan, you've gone too far. Lu Meng was one of the five Great Heavenly Saints our Lu family still had, and you killed him just like that. What exactly are you plotting?"

A Heavenly Saint exclaimed in fury.

"You die too."

Lu Yuan didn't waste words. With a single sword stroke, the man's head parted from his body in the next instant.

The hall fell into dead silence.

Returning to his seat, Lu Yuan casually tossed the head in his hand to the ground and swept his gaze across the crowd. "Now, who else opposes me?"

Everyone dared not make a sound.

At that moment, the three old men who were Great Heavenly Saints exchanged glances and said in unison, "We agree to Lu Yuan acting as clan leader."

Lu Yuan looked at the three elders and sneered, "Three old bastards, agreeing only now—isn't it a little late?"

The three elders' faces changed in unison. "Lu Yuan, do you intend to kill us too?"

Lu Yuan laughed coldly. "If I didn't think you still had some use, you'd be dead too."

With that, Lu Yuan rose and scanned the crowd. "From now on, I don't want to see anyone defy my orders. Not even once. I won't give anyone a second chance to regret."

"Now, my first order is this: reclaim every piece of property that originally belonged to our Lu family."

"The time is set for tomorrow. Remember, I don't want to see anyone absent."

After saying this, Lu Yuan left without looking back.

At Lake Heart Pavilion.

Lu Changming's gaze was worried. "Brother Yuan, wasn't that a bit too harsh? They are still clan members after all."

"To stabilize the outside, you must first secure the inside. In chaotic times, use heavy penalties. Our Lu family is in chaotic times right now. If the heart isn't ruthless and the methods aren't ruthless, you can't suppress these old fossils. If they weren't still useful for now, I wouldn't leave a single one of these arrogant old geeks alive."

Lu Yuan gazed into the distance, his eyes deep.

"Though the Ancestor and the others have left, as long as even one person of the Lu family remains alive, the Lu family will always exist. I, Lu Yuan, will lead the current clan members to rebuild our glory."

Lu Changming's blood boiled, and the worry faded from his eyes. He trusted Lu Yuan with absolute certainty.

The younger generation of the Lu family also regarded Lu Yuan as their idol.

That was precisely why Lu Yuan wanted to eliminate all the old-timers—because these stubborn, ossified elders would hinder the passion of the youth and block their forward progress.

Lu Changming left.

Lu Yuan sat alone in Lake Heart Pavilion and began to cultivate.

Back on the Tianxiao Continent, Lu Yuan never cultivated—not because he was lazy, but because his cultivation had hit a bottleneck.

No amount of training would help.

In truth, Lu Yuan could break through to Great Heavenly Saint at any moment now.

But Lu Yuan didn't want to. Of the five Break Limit realms, he had only reached the fourth. He had to break through the fifth limit before he would choose to advance to Great Heavenly Saint. This was a habit he had maintained ever since the Dao Foundation Realm.

Soon, Lu Yuan fell into stillness, entering a state of enlightenment.

Various laws of power swirled around him.

After a long time, Lu Yuan exhaled a turbid breath and slowly opened his eyes. "Still no good. What exactly must I do to break the limit of the Supreme of the Cosmos?"

Lu Yuan sank into deep thought.

Breaking limits could hardly be influenced by external forces, but nothing in the world was absolute. Some extremely rare heavenly treasures and miraculous creations could help one break through limits, but such items were ten thousand times more precious than Law Crystals.

Even the Lu family only had a few such treasures.

And those had been obtained for Lu Yuan by the Lu Ancestor at tremendous cost from elsewhere.

"Forget it."

Putting the thought aside, Lu Yuan stopped cultivating.

Just then.

[Ding! Congratulations, host has obtained the Troop Summoning System. System has been bound. Host may check it at any time.]

Another golden finger had arrived.

Lu Yuan's heart leaped with joy as he began examining his new golden finger's abilities.

[Troop Summoning System: The host can purchase blueprints from the System Mall, consume resources and materials, and mass-produce troops.]

Lu Yuan opened the System Mall.

[SSSS-Grade Blueprint: ...]

After reviewing all the blueprints, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.

All blueprints ranged from F-grade all the way to 10S-grade. Anything below A-grade was essentially negligible. The strength of A-grade troops was roughly below the King Realm.

S-grade could reach from King Realm to Emperor Realm.

SS-grade could reach the Saint Realm.

SSS-grade could reach the Earth Saint.

As for 4S to 10S, Lu Yuan didn't even bother looking, because he couldn't even afford the blueprints, let alone the resources needed afterward.

Still, overall, the Troop Summoning System counted as a decent golden finger.

As long as he had enough money, he could manufacture countless powerful subordinates—or, well, cannon fodder.

For now, Lu Yuan could only afford A-grade blueprints; S-grade was still a bit out of reach.

But he didn't think much of anything below SS-grade.

Below the Saint Realm, numbers meant nothing.

"I'm broke. If only I could get a Godly Rich System," Lu Yuan sighed. If the Lu family were still around, he wouldn't have to worry about Star Source Crystals at all.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan felt like he had overlooked something and frowned in thought.

"I feel like I forgot something."

"Right, I think I still have a Sign-in System!"

Lu Yuan slapped his forehead and quickly found the Sign-in System to check it.

"Come to think of it, the Sign-in System is pretty useless too. It hasn't issued a single mission in so long that I completely forgot it existed," Lu Yuan grumbled. Then, the next second, he froze.

On the Sign-in System's page, there were clearly dozens of already-expired sign-in missions, and only one new one remained.

After looking it over, Lu Yuan was dumbfounded.

It turned out the Sign-in System hadn't failed to issue missions—it was that when he first got it, his complaint about the system had made it feel inferior, so all subsequent sign-in missions came without any notification sound.

"Damn, systems can feel inferior too?" Lu Yuan couldn't help blurting out a curse from his past life. He was genuinely stunned!

Sign-in System: Sob sob? ╭(╯^╰)╮?
