His Dao Heart Crumbles, Unable to Make the Combat Power Ranking
Zhu Yizhou stared at the System Seed in the man's hand, his eyes full of vigilance.
He sensed the danger carefully for a moment but found nothing amiss.
After a slight hesitation, he reached out and grabbed the System Seed, which flew into his palm.
He examined it repeatedly but still couldn't tell what kind of extraordinary treasure it was. He only felt that it was warm and smooth to the touch and posed no danger.
"Very well, then let me see what you really are."
Once he made up his mind, he agreed to the binding.
In an instant, a system interface that only he could see suddenly appeared in his mind, and the system navigation began to introduce the various functions of the system.
His pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Could this be a legendary celestial treasure? Otherwise, how could it be so heaven-defying!"
The Reincarnation Illusion Realm can actually elevate State of Mind, the Dao Comprehension Space can help one comprehend the Great Dao, and the Portable Daoist Sanctum is even a private Dojo space...
When he saw TikTok's new features, he was even more shocked. "This is TikTok? It can communicate regardless of distance and even allow you to watch live streams in real time..."
His emotions finally erupted when he saw the Trial Tower and the Combat Power Ranking:
"The Trial Tower is a great feature for gaining practical combat experience!"
Chen Jie, Qian Duoduo, Su Wantang are actually on the Spirit Transformation Realm Combat Power Ranking.
Damn it! Su Yuxuan is actually on the Nascent Soul Realm Combat Power Ranking!
He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, his heart churning with shock and resentment.
Zhu Yizhou took a few deep breaths, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and continued watching the system navigation introduction.
After the system navigation introduction ended, he opened TikTok with great curiosity.
The wide variety of videos inside instantly caught his attention.
He was particularly captivated by the performances of the holy maidens and fairies from the immortal cultivation sects, becoming completely absorbed in them.
Suddenly, he remembered those ordinary people calling him a "heartless man."
He felt a chill and immediately searched for his name on TikTok).
In the blink of an eye, a dense barrage of videos popped up, their titles glaringly offensive.
It's either "the heartless Zhu Yizhou," "the blind Zhu Yizhou," or "the heartless man being forcefully crushed by his ex-fiancée."
Zhu Yizhou's face instantly darkened.
He suppressed his anger and clicked on the video with the most views and likes.
The scene depicts the contest on the Flying Immortal Arena, and after being defeated by Su Yuxuan, he shouts as he fulfills his bet, "I, Zhu Yizhou, was blind!"
Seeing this, he clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, and an uncontrollable rage surged within him.
He suppressed his anger and opened the comments section:
"Tsk tsk, he broke off the engagement because he thought his fiancée's cultivation aptitude was too low, and ended up getting humiliated in public. His face is swollen from the slap!"
"Hahaha, serves him right! Who told him to look down on people like that? Now he knows he regrets it, doesn't he?"
"Zhu Yizhou definitely never dreamed he'd be defeated by Su Yuxuan. His face must still be hurting from that slap."
"Heh, that heartless man deserved to be defeated! He thought he could beat Su Yuxuan? He's dreaming!"
He's the system host, he's cheating! How could he possibly win?
Even if he later binds himself to the system, it will probably be difficult for him to win, because a slow start leads to a slow finish.
As Zhu Yizhou read these comments, he felt a rush of Qi and Blood to his head, and his face turned bright red.
"Damn it! I'm not a heartless man! The gap between us is too big; we're simply not a good match..."
He couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses, and it took him a moment to barely calm down his surging emotions.
I immediately turned off the video, out of sight, out of mind, to avoid getting angrier the more I looked.
He glanced down at the crowd and snorted coldly:
"Today, having received the divine favor of the Fairness System, I will spare you this time."
If this happens again, I will execute him without mercy!
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the aura he had just unleashed had attracted everyone around him.
Without another word, he lightly touched the ground with his toes, his figure transforming into a streak of light as he flew away from the city.
Only when the suffocating pressure completely disappeared did the people on the ground collapse as if they had been exhausted, panting heavily, their faces still showing signs of shock.
"I survived! That was like walking through the Ghost Gate Pass."
"So close... so close to dying! Nascent Soul Realm expert, how terrifying!"
Their sheer presence alone rendered us immobile, preventing us from even conceiving the thought of resistance.
"Thank goodness... thank goodness we didn't say anything careless, otherwise we'd be corpses by now."
Zhu Yizhou left the city and landed in a secluded place outside the city.
He re-entered the system with his Divine Sense and began to explore its functions.
An hour later, he had a basic understanding of the system.
He decisively sold off all the Cultivation Method he possessed, except for Cultivation Method inherited from the Azure Cloud Sect.
However, the system notification indicated that some of the Cultivation Method were already available in the System Store and could not be sold again.
Could it be that someone within the Azure Cloud Sect has also been bound to a system, and even sold the Cultivation Method from the Scripture Pavilion?
Wrong!
He quickly dismissed the idea.
These Cultivation Method are not high-level secret manuals; perhaps others who possessed Cultivation Method preemptively sold them.
"Sigh, if you're slow on one step, you'll be slow on everything else; even selling the Cultivation Method is a step behind."
But when he looked at the 1.15 million Energy Points in his account, a smile appeared on his lips.
He turned his gaze to the Trial Tower, his eyes brimming with confidence. "The Nascent Soul Realm Combat Power Ranking —I, Zhu Yizhou, have arrived!"
However, reality gave him a resounding slap in the face.
Half an hour later, he emerged from the Trial Tower in a disheveled state, his name still absent from the Combat Power Ranking.
"Impossible!"
He exclaimed in shock, his face filled with disbelief, "I am the pride of the Central Continent, the holy son of the Azure Cloud Sect, and Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm!"
How come he can't even make it onto the Combat Power Ranking? What makes Su Yuxuan stand out on the list?
The devastating blow left him frozen in place, unable to accept it for a long time.
After a moment, he suppressed the shock in his heart and entered the Trial Tower again.
This time, he persisted even longer, and even made it to the 102nd floor of the Trial Tower at the Nascent Soul Realm level, but the name "Zhu Yizhou" was still not on the Nascent Soul Realm Combat Power Ranking.
A deep sense of defeat swept over him; he felt as if all his strength had been drained away, his eyes became empty and lifeless, and he muttered to himself:
"How could this happen... Why... Am I really that bad?"
Time passed quietly, and Zhu Yizhou's sense of defeat gradually dissipated.
He took a deep breath, and his eyes regained their sharpness and confidence.
"The main reason I can't make it onto the Combat Power Ranking is that I haven't yet utilized the various functions of the Fairness System to improve my strength."
Once I improve my strength with the help of the system, I will definitely have a place on the Combat Power Ranking.
However, to use the system to improve your strength, you must have enough Energy Points.
Without Energy Points, everything is just empty talk.
There are only a few main ways to earn Energy Points.
Earn Energy Points through live streaming?
With my current reputation as a 'heartless man,' this path is simply not viable.
So, all that's left is the promotion system and... selling the Cultivation Method from the Azure Cloud Sect's Scripture Pavilion.
The thought of returning to the Azure Cloud Sect made him hesitate.
Going back would likely result in ridicule, especially from Wang Ruoxi Ruoxi's disdainful gaze; just thinking about it was embarrassing.
He remained silent for a moment, but soon his desire to become stronger overcame that concern.
Let them laugh! What does a little mockery matter as long as I can earn Energy Points?
Once I sell the Cultivation Method from the Scripture Pavilion, I'll leave immediately and go elsewhere to promote the system.
However... should I report the Fairness System to the sect?
