"Good son, call me Dad. Dad!"
Qin Tian teased Qin Feng, who was swaddled in his blanket, savoring the joy of becoming a father for the first time.
Qin Feng, however, gave his new father no face at all. Whenever the man told him to call him Dad, he would innocently answer, making his father's face darken while his mother laughed so hard she nearly shook apart.
But his father never tired of it and called for him dozens of times every day.
"Such a childish fool!"
Qin Feng couldn't be bothered with his ridiculous father. He called up the system and opened the System Shop.
Ever since he was born, he'd noticed that his cultivation speed had slowed. According to the system, the reason he'd cultivated so quickly in the womb was not only the support of the Immortal Fluid but also the help of his mother, a master in her own right.
Now that he was born, he could only rely on himself.
But he only had a little over thirty thousand Villain Points, nowhere near enough to buy anything that could rapidly increase his cultivation.
The system suddenly spoke. "I suggest the host purchase the Insight Halo. It can increase your comprehension. As long as you understand the mysteries of the First Heaven of the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Art, your cultivation will surely advance twice as fast with half the effort."
Insight Halo: Increases the host's comprehension a hundredfold. Exchange price: 30,000 Villain Points. Effect lasts one month.
A hundredfold increase in comprehension?!
Even a pig would become a genius with its comprehension increased a hundredfold, let alone a super genius like him, who'd been steeped in Immortal Fluid for a hundred years.
After thinking it over, Qin Feng nodded and agreed to the exchange.
Compared to quickly increasing his cultivation, he wanted even more to comprehend the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Art as soon as possible.
According to the records in his mind, if he could comprehend the complete Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Art, he would become an undying, immortal being.
Even if someone killed him, he could be reborn from a drop of blood.
It really was the essential divine art for villains who killed for loot and coveted other people's wives.
Bah!
He was a proper, upright Confucian gentleman who read the Analects. How could he debase himself by becoming a villain?
"Ding-dong! Congratulations, host. You've spent 30,000 Villain Points to successfully exchange for one month of the Insight Halo!"
Rumble!!
Qin Feng felt an explosion go off in his mind. His soul seemed to drift out of his body, and all the things about cultivation he'd never understood before suddenly became clear.
Spring passed and autumn came again...
Another three years flew by in the blink of an eye.
Qin Feng was now three years old, a darling little boy carved from jade and painted in pink. Thanks to his harmless appearance and the social graces he'd learned in his previous life, he smiled and greeted everyone he met, making himself the most popular person in the Qin Lineage.
Whether they were single young ladies or married women, they would pick him up and give him a kiss as soon as they saw him.
As a proper, upright Confucian gentleman who read the Analects, he naturally understood the importance of returning a kindness. So every time a young lady kissed him, he would kiss her back.
But the system falsely accused him every time, saying he was a lecher taking advantage of the young ladies, and even insisted on giving him one Villain Point.
Was he really that kind of person?!
Even if he wanted to, he didn't have the equipment for it!
Besides, he had a Son of Heaven for a little brother. How could he have the mind to think about all that nonsense?
Ever since his little brother had taken over the two-person room all by himself, he'd been soaring through the heavens, awesome beyond belief.
Not only had he successfully comprehended the Heaven and Earth Laws and begun deducing his own cultivation art above the Heavenly Rank, but dragon and phoenix phantoms also circled the sky from time to time, letting out roars and cries.
The commotion was far greater than the one caused by Qin Feng's birth!
The entire Qin Lineage was overjoyed, never having expected one pregnancy to produce two Heavenly Prides.
The birth had even alarmed the Progenitor, who'd been in seclusion for many years. He personally named Qin Feng's little brother Qin Hao, a man who dared to screw the heavens before he'd even been born.
Faced with such an unreasonable little brother, Qin Feng hadn't dared slack off for a moment in those three years. He'd used every minute and every second to improve his cultivation.
Others might have thought he and his little brother were equally monstrous geniuses, but he knew the truth.
He hadn't comprehended any Heaven and Earth Laws in the womb. The only reason he'd been able to cultivate there was because he'd had a cheat.
In other words, he wasn't a perfect match for the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Art and couldn't be invincible among those of the same level.
He'd already lost to his little brother by a huge margin at the starting line. If he didn't want to be offered up to the heavens or get himself killed in the future, he had to hurry and improve his cultivation.
He'd now comprehended the First Heaven of the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Art, and his cultivation had reached Qi and Blood Level 9. He was only one step away from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and opening a dantian to store his Spiritual Energy.
A three-year-old in the Foundation Establishment Realm would set a new record in the Ancient Wasteland.
"The breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm happens now. Break through for me!!"
Qin Feng, seated cross-legged on his bed, abruptly opened his eyes and shouted. He circulated all his Spiritual Energy, slamming it into his dantian.
Boom!!
A terrifying impact rang out inside Qin Feng's body. A dim starry sky appeared within his dantian.
The surrounding spiritual energy surged into his dantian like the tide, transforming into Spiritual Energy that lit up the dark starry sky and filled it with a ceaseless, life-giving power of creation.
"Huff, huff. I've broken through to the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!"
Qin Feng let out a deep breath. He was more than ten times stronger than before.
And ever since he'd comprehended the First Heaven of the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Art, his recovery ability had become far stronger than that of anyone at the same level. He was one step closer to coveting other people's wives—bah, to becoming undying and immortal.
"Let's see... My little brother should be about to be born, right?"
Qin Feng gazed at the moon and murmured to himself. After three years apart, he missed his little brother more and more.
Ever since his little brother had occupied the two-person room all by himself three years ago, Qin Feng had lost his source of Villain Points.
According to the system's villain rules, bullying other people could also earn him Villain Points. Unfortunately, the reward was pitifully small and couldn't compare at all to his little brother, the Son of Heaven.
For example, after being taken advantage of by the young ladies and married women of the Qin Lineage for three years, he'd earned only a little over a thousand hard-won points. That was nowhere near as much as he could earn from beating up his little brother once.
"My foolish little brother, do you know how I've spent these three years?!"
Qin Feng looked at the 4,300 Villain Points displayed by the system. He'd scrimped and saved them, not daring to spend a single point in three years, all because he feared his little brother's bad-luck-to-relatives halo might suddenly activate and wipe out the entire lineage or something.
Fortunately, his little brother was about to be born. It was time to strengthen himself.
Qin Feng eagerly opened the System Shop. He'd had his eye on a divine movement technique called Phantom Shadow Free and Unfettered for ages, but he had limited points and could only buy the first volume.
As for why he didn't choose to cultivate the techniques of his lineage... He'd already activated a system, so why waste time learning them? Was he stupid?!
Wasn't it much better to just exchange for it?!
Phantom Shadow Free and Unfettered: First volume. Once mastered, the user will be as light as a swallow and leave no footprints in the snow. (Exchange price: 4,000 Villain Points)
A wolf must sharpen its teeth, and a sheep must strengthen its legs!
Faced with an unreasonable Son of Heaven like his little brother, he could only aspire to become the fastest man in the Ancient Wasteland.
The moment he sensed anything was wrong, he'd run for it.
"Ding-dong! Congratulations, host. You've spent 4,000 Villain Points to successfully exchange for the first volume of Phantom Shadow Free and Unfettered!"
A figure immediately appeared before Qin Feng's eyes, moving rapidly with exquisite footwork. Its shifting form dazzled the eye and made it impossible to touch. He'd taken another step toward becoming the fastest man in the Ancient Wasteland...
