Let's rewind ten minutes.
First Love Bar in Dafeng City.
Two old men, dressed in black and white martial arts uniforms respectively, were sitting in the most luxurious booth.
While drinking, I watched the young women dancing energetically in the center of the dance floor.
" Old Song, it's been so many years, it's time you found a successor. If you keep being so stubborn, you might end up taking all your skills to your grave."
The old man in black's eyes roamed the dance floor, while a sense of vicissitude and dissipation echoed in the air.
Old Song, Song Qingshan.
The current abbot of Pine and Crane Daoist Temple.
To outsiders, Pine and Crane Daoist Temple appears to be just an ordinary little Daoist temple.
It can barely be considered a tourist attraction in Red City City.
The old man in black standing next to him.
His name is Bai Zhanyun, the director of the Bureau of Unusual Affairs of the Ancient Country. The Bureau of Unusual Affairs Bureau for Handling Abnormal Affairs.
It is Ancient Country, an official organization specifically for handling Transcendent events.
Song Qingshan and Bai Zhanyun have known each other for almost a hundred years.
They all experienced the Red Cesium War of that year.
From initial adversaries to comrades-in-arms, and then to old friends.
It's fair to say that even their wives and mistresses didn't understand each other as well as they did.
"I'd rather take this to my grave than just take some good-for-nothing as my apprentice," Song Qingshan said, shaking his head.
"But your Body Refining Art has too demanding cultivation conditions. In this world, where is there Innate Physique with all meridians fully open?"
"Let alone now, even more than five thousand years ago, when the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had not yet dissipated and Ancient Martial Arts were rampant, those with Innate Physique were extremely rare."
Song Qingshan tapped his fingers lightly on the wine glass, but it didn't move.
"Since you created this Body Refining Art, you can just modify it to make it suitable for ordinary people to cultivate."
Song Qingshan rolled his eyes at him. "No change. Whoever masters the Body Refining Art will be my disciple."
He paused, then added, "Of course, they must be from our Ancient Country, and they must have sound values."
Bai Zhanyun tugged at his beard and sighed helplessly, "You're just stubborn all the time. You'll be stubborn for life. Let's see if you're still stubborn when you're in your coffin."
Song Qingshan sighed helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to change it, but that I can't. If I change it, it will become an ordinary cultivation technique."
"Your Bureau of Unusual Affairs would be short of a Body Refining technique that doesn't even reach the Earthly Realm?"
"Just give it a try. How will you know the result if you don't even try?"
"No need to try." Song Qingshan shook his head, then tapped his temple.
"I've deduced it countless times; this technique cannot be changed in the slightest."
Bai Zhanyun was about to say something more.
Suddenly his pupils contracted.
An overwhelming, terrifying pressure descended from the sky.
It instantly pressed down on everyone.
Inside the bar, the once lively crowd was instantly brought to their knees by this pressure.
Song Qingshan and Bai Zhanyun could only hold out for less than a breath.
He knelt down as well.
"What terrifying Pressure!" Song Qingshan exclaimed in horror.
This power seemed to originate from an ancient Demon God.
Not only their bodies, but even their souls were trembling.
It felt as if they would be crushed by this Pressure at any moment.
The kind where the soul and spirit are completely destroyed.
"This Pressure seems to be emanating unconsciously, without any malice," Song Qingshan said hoarsely, enduring the terrifying Pressure.
"Is it a treasure being born, or a person?" Bai Zhanyun asked.
"It can't be human. This terrifying Pressure... if it were truly man-made, how powerful would it be?"
"Wouldn't that mean you could shatter the Blue Star and blow up the moon with a single punch?"
At this point, Song Qingshan suddenly remembered the two young men he had met before.
That young man once said he could punch the moon to pieces.
But then, he shook his head.
"How could it be him? He could shatter the moon with a single punch. Even those old guys hiding in their graves couldn't do that."
Bai Zhanyun frowned and said, "If it's a treasure that has appeared, then we're probably in for a lot of work."
"Regardless of whether a treasure has appeared or not, Dafeng City will not be peaceful from now on."
"This Pressure is too vast; it cannot be concealed from the entire Dafeng City, with its millions of inhabitants."
But what they didn't know was...
This Pressure wasn't limited to Dafeng City.
It refers to the entire North Leaf Province.
Dragon Cauldron Villa, Baihai City.
Ye Tian and Xiao Chen, who were cultivating, were almost driven mad by this sudden Pressure.
They were obediently pressed to the ground, unable to move.
For ten minutes, a full ten minutes, I couldn't move an inch.
The Pressure finally dissipated.
The two rushed out of the room and exchanged a glance.
They both saw a hint of fear in each other's eyes.
" Ling Yi?" Ye Tian was the first to regain his composure and spoke.
" His Aura is Ling Yi's, there's no mistake."
"Damn, this Pressure so immense, even Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert wouldn't reach this level."
"Not a cultivator, but..."
As for what it was, Ye Tian couldn't say either.
"What kind of Aura it has doesn't matter. After all, that guy has a system. He can exchange for power from Combat anime series and become overpowered."
"For example, the Saiyan in Dragon Ball, that dazed guy in One-Punch Man, the God Grade genes in Transcendent God, and the Universe Grade computing power engine."
"Too many."
"Putting everything else aside, just look at the Super Saiyan in Dragon Ball; their Battle Power is just ridiculous."
"Yeah, Master Roshi only Battle Power of 200-something, yet he was able to destroy the moon."
At this point, both of them paused for a moment.
Does it look like it?
"Very similar."
The two spoke as if they were speaking in cryptic language.
" Berserk yet stable, volatile yet controllable," Ye Tian.
"It's not Martial Dao, it's not immortal techniques, it contains no Divine Sense, it's pure Aura."
"Hiss!"
"Could it be that this guy actually swapped in the power system from the manga?!"
"Even if you exchange power from a comic book, it's impossible to suddenly become this strong."
"So?" Ye Tian blinked and asked.
So, Ling Yi hogged everything himself!
Ye Tian rolled his eyes.
"After all, the system belongs to someone else; isn't it normal for them to monopolize it?"
"Besides, what can you do even if you find out he's eating alone?"
Do you think you can beat him?
Xiao Chen remained silent.
"Didn't we agree that we're the Protagonist?"
Ye Tian scoffed, " Protagonist? There are two kinds of Protagonist."
One type is the Protagonist.
"What about the other one?"
"The other type is the Protagonist who's just a tool, and obviously, we're the Protagonist who's just a tool."
The two fell silent again.
Xiao Chen stood up. "Let's go!"
"What?"
"Go to Dafeng City and find that guy Ling Yi."
"What, you still want to reason with Ling Yi? He'll deny ever eating it all by himself, what can you do?"
"He's the villain, moral blackmail won't work on him."
"What are you talking about? Of course you're going to suck up to someone powerful!"
After a pause, Ye Tian added, "Also, we need to stay by his side at all times."
Why?
"Are you stupid? What if Ling Yi encounters another Protagonist? Don't forget, it's clearly stated in our electronic contract."
"We take 30% of all the Villain Points's profits."
"What if Ling Yi encounters a new Protagonist but doesn't tell us? Wouldn't that be a loss for us?"
Xiao Chen scratched his head. "But, even if Ling Yi broke the contract, what can you do about it?"
"Um, how about throwing a tantrum and rolling around on the ground?"
"Get lost. I, Xiao Chen, can't afford to lose face like that."
"But before that, let's rack up some points first."
A moment later, the sounds of fighting erupted in the villa's courtyard.
