Purple Gold Entry: Sword Dao Champion!

But that wasn't the end. Just as Mo Shang's defenses shattered, the system's prompt rang out, delivering even more earth-shaking news.

"Master, I detected a change in Gu Qingzhou's traits."

As the system's voice fell, Gu Qingzhou's traits appeared before his eyes once more.

[Purple-Gold Fortune Trait: Reborn]

[Purple Gold Entry: Sword Dao Champion]

[Blue Trait: Loyal and Righteous]

[White Trait: Wealthy]

"Forget the Heavenly Gift—his traits changed too! He directly gained an extra Purple Gold Entry?!" Staring at the newly added trait, Mo Shang was already numb.

[Purple Gold Entry: Sword Dao Champion]

[Description: From the day I first gripped a sword in my youth, I knew that I would become the Sword Dao Champion!]

Though it gave no specific effects, merely seeing its Purple Gold quality told Mo Shang that this was undoubtedly another utterly heaven-defying trait.

People said transmigrators were cheating bastards, but Mo Shang didn't think so. Before these Children of Fortune, whose cheats were each more ferocious than the last, he could only be considered a noob with a green build!

"System, self-destruct. Let's restart—there are cheats here that I can't even use..." Mo Shang said to the system.

"Ding. Self-destruction successfully initiated. Countdown: ten, nine..."

"Fuck, I was joking! Cancel it, cancel it now!"

"Ding. Cancellation successful..."

"System, you really are obedient. Can you get me a good trait next time?"

"Sorry, Master. Draws are random. I cannot control them either..."

"If you can't even do that, what use are you?"

"Uh, I can chat to relieve your boredom. You can also enter the System Space with your consciousness and play games or something..."

"Good heavens, you even have that? You might as well rename yourself the Slacker System..."

"Master, how did you know the name of my previous version?"

"Six, six, six. I really have nothing to say..."

"I never expected you to possess a Gengjin Sword Body."

As the farce came to an end, Liu Zhengyang, who had been hiding nearby, finally revealed himself.

"Hehe, of course I do." Gu Qingzhou chuckled.

"With talent like yours, the status of a personal disciple no longer suits you. Are you interested in becoming the Holy Son of our sect?" Liu Zhengyang asked again.

Since there had previously been no disciples with exceptionally outstanding talent, the position of Holy Son of the Falling Cloud Sect had remained vacant.

"Holy Son? I'll have to consider it..."

Even though the other party wanted to appoint him as the sect's Holy Son, Gu Qingzhou showed no hurry to agree.

"You still need to consider this?" Liu Zhengyang froze, looking somewhat stunned.

If this were anyone else, they would probably have leapt up in excitement already. Yet he merely said he would consider it. That was rather beyond Liu Zhengyang's expectations.

But on second thought, Liu Zhengyang understood. The other party possessed a Geng Sword Body; he indeed had the capital to consider it...

"Appointing a Holy Son is a major matter. Naturally, I have to think it over carefully." Gu Qingzhou spoke again with a smile.

"Your cultivation resources will be tripled. As for all cultivation resources within the sect, you may have priority in using them." Seeing his attitude, Liu Zhengyang understood and spoke to Gu Qingzhou again.

"Deal!"

At those words, Gu Qingzhou no longer hesitated and immediately agreed, as though afraid the other party would regret it.

"Rest assured, our Falling Cloud Sect will not mistreat you..."

Liu Zhengyang spoke with utter helplessness, but inwardly, he was already laughing with delight. With a Gengjin Sword Body as our Holy Son, we've struck it rich!

"Hahaha, triple cultivation resources—I've made a killing!" Gu Qingzhou laughed inwardly as well, secretly delighted.

At this moment, neither of them felt anything was amiss. They even felt they had gotten the better deal...

"Oh, right. Three days from now, the major sects will hold a grand competition. Are you interested in participating?" Suppressing the laughter in his heart, Liu Zhengyang seemed to recall something and looked at Gu Qingzhou.

"A grand competition? I've only just reached the Spirit Gathering Realm Ninth Layer. I still need to consolidate my foundation, so I won't go..." Gu Qingzhou refused outright.

"The champion of the grand competition will receive a Seventh-grade Heaven-mending Pill..."

"I'm going! This is exactly the kind of grand competition I'm going to! As the sect's Holy Son, I have the duty to bring glory to the sect!"

Upon hearing that the prize was a seventh-grade pill, Gu Qingzhou immediately put on a performance of changing his face at light speed.

"This competition requires four participants. Mo Shang, Jiang Shuyu, are either of you interested in joining?" Seeing Gu Qingzhou agree, Liu Zhengyang immediately turned to Mo Shang and Jiang Shuyu.

"I'm only at the Spirit Gathering Realm Fifth Layer. Are you asking me to go get beaten up?"

Mo Shang pointed at himself. Though the triple cultivation speed boost had allowed him to advance from the Second Layer of the Spirit Gathering Realm to the Spirit Gathering Realm Fifth Layer in a month, he still could not compare with Gu Qingzhou...

"Do you have some misunderstanding about your own cultivation? Among cultivators around your age, the vast majority have only just broken through to the Spirit Gathering Realm..." Liu Zhengyang suddenly laughed upon hearing this.

"Ah, is that so?" Mo Shang was stunned. He had always used Gu Qingzhou as his benchmark and had nearly forgotten that he was a cheater too...

"Fight if you can win. If you can't, step down. Don't put too much pressure on yourself..." Liu Zhengyang patted Mo Shang's shoulder with a smile.

"Since the Sect Master has put it that way, then I'll make the trip."

Seeing this, Mo Shang stopped declining and nodded in agreement. Since the other party had already said so much, continuing to refuse would be a little tactless...

Seeing Mo Shang agree, Liu Zhengyang nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Jiang Shuyu and asked, "Are you going?"

"Fine." Jiang Shuyu did not say much, merely nodding indifferently.

"Then it's settled."

Liu Zhengyang did not react greatly to Jiang Shuyu's straightforward agreement, as though he had expected it all along.

"Since that is the case, we'll leave it at that. I shall not disturb you any longer. Gather in the main hall three days from now..." Having arranged everything, Liu Zhengyang and the others did not linger. With a flash, they departed.

"I'll be leaving too. I'm going to consolidate my cultivation first."

After Liu Zhengyang left, Gu Qingzhou had no intention of staying either. He departed as well, and soon, only Mo Shang and Jiang Shuyu remained in the courtyard.

"You're already cheating and still working so hard. No wonder you're a Child of Fortune..." Watching Gu Qingzhou come and go in such haste, Mo Shang muttered.

"Forget it. Better keep slacking..." Mo Shang lay back down on his reclining chair and picked up a fruit to gnaw on.

It was not that working hard was too exhausting; slacking simply offered better value. Slacking came with a triple cultivation speed boost, whereas cultivating on his own did not...

Jiang Shuyu showed no reaction to Mo Shang's slacking behavior. She merely sat quietly to one side, took out a book, and began reading.

"Master, you can draw a trait today." Just as Mo Shang was slacking off, the system's voice suddenly rang out.

"Then begin."

Mo Shang did not pay much attention to it and casually gave the order. It was still the familiar scene, still the familiar operation.

Just when Mo Shang thought another trash trait was about to appear, a purple-gold radiance suddenly descended before his eyes!

"Holy shit! A golden legend!"

Staring at the purple-gold glow before him, Mo Shang, who had been lying in the chair, instantly sprang to his feet and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
