You and I Came from Blue Water Star

"Don't dismiss yourself so easily. Everyone has value in being alive. Although everyone else thinks you're trash now, I know you used to be a genius. Since you were once a genius, why not work hard? I've chosen to believe in you—can't you believe in yourself too?"

Yun Shenwei smiled faintly and strode forward. He stopped before Xiao Yan, stared him straight in the eye, and patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry. I'm Yun Lan Sect's Head Disciple. There's nothing I can't do. And if there is, it's only a matter of time."

Yun Shenwei pulled Xiao Yan before the crowd and said to Xiao Ning, "In half an hour, you will lose without a doubt!"

"Fine, then we'll wait and see. I, Xiao Ning, stand by my word. Given your exalted status, I trust you aren't someone who goes back on his word."

Xiao Ning gave another pointed reminder.

"Maybe... we should forget—"

Xiao Yan had just tried to refuse when Yun Shenwei grabbed him and dragged him to the very center of the Cultivation Field.

"A real man stands tall between heaven and earth! How can you give up at every turn? Would that make you worthy of being a person from Blue Water Star?"

Yun Shenwei took the opportunity to whisper into Xiao Yan's ear.

"Blue Water Star..."

The instant Xiao Yan heard those words, a glimmer of light burst from his dejected eyes. He scrutinized Yun Shenwei closely, as if he wanted to see through him completely.

"Don't look at me like that. I know exactly what you want to ask. This isn't the time to catch up. Let's settle matters here first. As for the problems you're facing, I'll find a way to solve them."

Yun Shenwei spoke softly, smiling as he patted Xiao Yan's shoulder.

"Fine! For the sake of those three words, Blue Water Star, I, Xiao Yan, will trust you."

Xiao Yan had transmigrated to the Battle Through the Heavens World more than ten years ago. He had always known that he was an outsider, so he never felt much belonging here.

Now that he had finally encountered someone who seemed to also be from Blue Water Star, how could he not be excited?

As the saying went, when fellow townsmen met, their eyes brimmed with tears. All the more so in the fantasy-filled Battle Through the Heavens World.

Main Quest activated. Please establish a good relationship with Xiao Yan and seize Yao Lao's ring. Upon successful completion, a random reward will be issued.

Quest 2: Before leaving the Xiao family, please become friends with Xiao/Gu Xun'er. Upon successful completion, side quests will become available. Reward random.

Quest 3: Please help Xiao Yan, Xiao Mei, Xiao Xun'er, Xiao... join Canaan Academy. Upon successful completion, reward random.

At that moment, the Extraordinary Romance System, which had not appeared for a long time, issued its quest instructions.

"Oh? Not bad. This is exactly what I've been waiting for."

Yun Shenwei had not rushed to deal with the broken engagement after arriving at the Xiao family because he had his own considerations. He had been wondering whether the system would appear at this time, and sure enough, after waiting so long, it finally had.

"Now this is getting interesting. I doubt my days in the Xiao family will be boring."

With a clearer direction now, Yun Shenwei's resolve grew even firmer.

"Xiao Yan, watch carefully. Just practice according to the moves I teach you. Be bold. Don't be afraid."

Yun Shenwei put on an act and began instructing him. Xiao Yan seriously began learning the singing, dancing, and rap moves, while everyone else watched in confusion.

"Will this really work?"

Although Xiao Yan wanted to trust this fellow townsman, he had lived in this world for many years, so he could not help feeling doubtful.

"Just practice! Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Yun Shenwei barked at him, leaving Xiao Yan no choice but to obediently start training.

Taking advantage of this time, Yun Shenwei secretly opened the Multiverse Shop.

"10,580 Multiverse Coins! Hahaha, I didn't expect to have collected so many Hate Points these past few days. Not bad. Now I can really pull off something big."

Yun Shenwei was overjoyed when he saw the Multiverse Coins he could use. One Hate Point equaled one Multiverse Coin, meaning he had collected 10,580 Hate Points over these days. It was not an especially large amount, and he could not buy anything particularly good, but it was more than enough to handle the current situation!

"Yao Lao is inside Xiao Yan's ring, so no matter how much he cultivates, it will all be absorbed. If I tell him to take off the ring now, he probably won't agree. It's a keepsake from his deceased mother."

Yun Shenwei calculated inwardly. It was clearly inappropriate to ask Xiao Yan for his ring right away. If he handled it poorly, he might even arouse Xiao Yan's suspicions.

"In this situation, there is only one other way."

Quick-witted as he was, Yun Shenwei immediately came up with another idea.

"Yao Lao is currently in a soul state. The only reason he absorbs Xiao Yan's Dou Qi is to speed up his recovery. All I need to do is exchange for some time-limited Dou Qi, and Xiao Yan's cultivation level will temporarily recover. No matter how capable Yao Lao is at absorption, he can't exceed the limits of the Multiverse Shop... Once the time limit on the Dou Qi boost ends, Xiao Yan's realm will fall again. After gaining and losing it once, he'll definitely come begging me himself!"

Yun Shenwei's calculations were going perfectly, and he immediately began to act.

"Spend 30 Multiverse Coins to exchange for 6 Dou Qi Segments [3-Day Edition]?"

"Yes."

Yun Shenwei decisively found the appropriate item in the Multiverse Shop. Once the exchange was complete, it was automatically stored in his Dimensional Warehouse.

Before they knew it, the half hour was nearly up. Xiao Ning was already itching to fight. Two Low-Level Profound Fighting Skills held considerable appeal for a disciple of a small family like him.

"Heh, time's almost up. Are you ready?"

Xiao Ning did not dare act presumptuously toward Yun Shenwei, so he could only provoke Xiao Yan by gesturing at him.

Xiao Yan turned a deaf ear and continued repeating the special movements Yun Shenwei had taught him.

Half an hour was neither long nor short. Some passing Xiao family disciples had heard the news and come over. By then, many people had gathered at the Xiao Family Martial Arts Arena, and someone had even reported the matter to the higher-ups of the Xiao family. Those elders were also on their way.

"Xiao Yan, come here!"

As the match drew near, Yun Shenwei checked the time and waved to the sweat-drenched Xiao Yan.

"Alright."

Covered in sweat, Xiao Yan hurried over at the sound of Yun Shenwei's voice. For the past half hour, he had relentlessly practiced the movements Yun Shenwei had taught him, soaking his clothes through.

"The match is about to begin. Don't put too much pressure on yourself—just throw your punches however feels most comfortable."

Yun Shenwei asked Xiao Mei for a handkerchief and handed it to Xiao Yan to wipe away his sweat. At the same time, he opened the Dimensional Warehouse and used 6 Dou Qi Segments [3-Day Edition] on Xiao Yan.

This silent little move was likely known only to Yun Shenwei himself. No one else could see the items within the Extraordinary Romance System and the Multiverse Shop...
