Gained 19 Hate Points

"Anything the host does that causes negative emotions in others can earn Hate Points.

Once the host accumulates a certain number of Hate Points, they can be exchanged for items in the Multiverse Shop."

After seeing the system's explanation, Yun Shenwei felt rather strange. He could not help recalling similar things he had read about in certain novels before transmigrating. It seemed they were called negative emotion systems?

"Hahaha, no matter what, this is a good thing. I can make good use of it. With my abilities, I'm sure I can easily draw out other people's Hate Points. That way, I'll be able to thrive in this world. Although I possess the Fighting God Flame, its level is still too low. If I want to become invincible in this world, leveling up is what matters most."

After gaining the ability to earn Hate Points, Yun Shenwei was quite pleased. However, he was not blindly confident either. He knew that only by reaching a higher realm could one live more freely in this world.

If he remained at his current realm forever, he would eventually be no match for some of the older generation's powerhouses.

Exceptional talent was one thing, while great strength was another. Before absolute strength, all talent was useless. After all, this was a world where the strong were revered. Before one had fully grown, one was still weak.

"If I didn't have the identity of Yun Lan Sect's chief disciple and hadn't boasted about having a reclusive master, Pill King Gu He probably wouldn't have been so easy to talk to."

Yun Shenwei understood that the weak were prey to the strong, so he resolved to work even harder.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

Over the past few days, Yun Shenwei had been busy cultivating. At the same time, he had been doing his best to test the Hate Point ability bestowed by the system.

After learning more over these past days, Yun Shenwei discovered that every action he took could be converted into corresponding Hate Points as long as it provoked negative emotions in others. Moreover, just as the Extraordinary Romance System had said, Hate Points could be converted into Multiverse Shop currency of equal value.

"Shenwei Senior Brother, are you there?"

Yun Shenwei was cultivating in his room that day when Nalan Yanran's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"This girl must miss me..."

Yun Shenwei immediately opened the door. Sure enough, he saw the young woman outside, dressed in a pink gown.

"Shenwei Senior Brother, why did you agree to the duel? I'm so worried about you."

The moment Nalan Yanran saw the man she loved, she threw herself into his arms, her eyes filled with resentment.

After Niu Xuante and Xin Daorong had angered her into leaving that day, she returned in a fury and secluded herself to cultivate for several days. When she emerged today, she happened to hear people discussing Yun Shenwei's bet with Pill King Gu He. It terrified her, and she hurried over to get to the bottom of it.

"Ding, Hate Points increased by 15!"

The mechanical notification sounded beside Yun Shenwei's ear. He had grown used to it over the past few days and was no longer surprised.

"Yanran, there's no need to worry so much. Since your Senior Apprentice Brother agreed to it, I naturally have absolute confidence in winning. Does that genius from the Gu family think he can defeat me? Keep dreaming."

Yun Shenwei spoke calmly as he reached out and rubbed the young woman's cheek. Seeing tears in the corners of Nalan Yanran's eyes, he felt deeply moved.

"But Yanran heard that Gu Ming is already a three-star Dou Master. He also has unique insights into mastering combat techniques..."

Nalan Yanran was still far from reassured.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go for a walk. It's rare for you to come see me after so many days."

Clearly unwilling to waste time on the matter, Yun Shenwei took the young woman's hand and led her outside.

It was the end of spring. Flowers bloomed and fell, and their fragrance could be smelled everywhere.

The two of them looked like an immortal couple, drawing the attention of many Yun Lan Sect disciples along the way.

"Look, it's Senior Apprentice Brother and Senior Sister Nalan Yanran."

"My god, Senior Sister Nalan Yanran is so beautiful. I'm so jealous of Senior Apprentice Brother."

"What a pity. If I had abilities like Senior Apprentice Brother's, perhaps Senior Sister Nalan Yanran would take a liking to me."

Many Yun Lan Sect disciples who had been cultivating opened their eyes, their faces revealing envy and jealousy.

It was only natural. They were at just the right age, in the height of adolescence, when they most yearned for the opposite sex.

"Ding, gained 15 Hate Points!"

"Ding, gained 18 Hate Points!"

"Ding, gained 23 Hate Points!"

In just a short while, Yun Shenwei gained more than a hundred Hate Points. Delighted, he suddenly had an idea and kissed Nalan Yanran in public.

"Hey! You're bullying me again."

Nalan Yanran was a girl and rather thin-skinned. On top of that, they were in public. Her little face immediately turned bright red as she puffed up her cheeks and glared at Yun Shenwei.

"Ding, gained 23 Hate Points!"

Hearing the notification beside his ear, Yun Shenwei smiled awkwardly. Had I gone a little too far? Nalan Yanran has even developed resentment toward me...

At the same time, the other Yun Lan Sect disciples nearby let out wolf-like howls when they saw this scene.

Nalan Yanran was the goddess in their hearts, yet their goddess had been kissed right in front of them. But there was nothing they could do, because that man was their Senior Apprentice Brother!

"Ah, my life is so miserable!"

"Heavens, just kill me!"

"Why must you torment me like this?"

The Yun Lan Sect disciples felt as though their hearts were being twisted by knives.

"Ding, gained 26 Hate Points!"

"Ding, gained 19 Hate Points!"

"Ding, gained 23 Hate Points!"

As Yun Shenwei listened to the system notifications ringing continuously in his ears, his mood improved more and more.

"Liu Ling, is that the person who defeated you a few days ago? He doesn't look like much."

In the distance, a burly young man spoke.

"That's him. Brother Mo Wu, don't underestimate him. His skills are extraordinary. He is said to be the number one among Yun Lan Sect's younger generation. Both my younger brother Liu Wen and I were defeated by him."

Beside him, Liu Ling spoke angrily. When he looked at Yun Shenwei, it was as if blazing flames burned in his eyes.

"He's just an arrogant fool. I can't imagine Nalan Yanran actually taking a liking to him."

The young man named Mo Wu was dismissive. Then he said to Liu Ling, "Don't worry about your matter. I'll deal with this brat for you."

With that, his figure flashed as he charged toward Yun Shenwei. In mere moments, the distance between them was less than several dozen meters.

"Shenwei Senior Brother, shall we go for a walk by the waterfall?"

Nalan Yanran had just begun to speak when she suddenly sensed someone rushing toward them at high speed. At the same time, Yun Shenwei reacted as well. Instinctively, he pushed Nalan Yanran away, spun around, and threw a punch behind him.

"Rumble..."

The violent impact resounded through the area, sending waves of air surging outward. Many Yun Lan Sect disciples stared in stunned disbelief.
