10 An Early Meeting...

Immediately, a vein popped on Luo Yang's forehead, but he quickly calmed down as he remembered that he was currently being introduced as the Holy Son.

And causing trouble on his first day would surely bring down his reputation.

His cousin, Luo Shengxue, is actually one of his weak points since they grew up together and they are closer as brother and sister.

So, normally, she's someone very dear to him, and he hates people who talk about her.

Which is why he got so irritated after hearing Long Yu say that his sister/cousin is his.

But, honestly, Long Yu didn't know that. He was simply talking about his real older sister, which is the matriarch of the Luo Clan.

"Attention...!!! Since this is such a big event, why don't we host a few battles to prove the strength of our Holy Son?" The Sect Master announced.

"Are you okay with that?" She looked at Luo Yang, who nodded his head firmly.

Then she waved her hand, and a big stage appeared in the sky where Luo Yang stepped in and awaited for his opponent.

Just a while later, a musculated man with a lean build appeared on that same stage holding a great sword.

"I greet the Holy Son! I hope we have a good battle!" He spoke aloud.

Luo Yang simply nodded his head and signaled for him to come and attack him directly.

"AHIAAA!"

He cried out as he dashed towards Luo Yang and held his great sword.

"Moving Mountains Technique!" His great sword was enveloped with a dense quantity of Qi as he swung it towards Luo Yang.

"Weak...!"

Crash!

THUD!

With a small movement of his fingers, Luo Yang completely dissipated the man's technique and sent him flying across the entire arena.

Seeing this scene, the disciples gasped and couldn't help but be happy that they had such a strong Holy Son.

After all, the person who just challenged him was the second-strongest core disciple, and Luo Yang defeated him with just one move!

"Wow! The Holy Son is so strong!"

"With him here, we will surely get first place in the Annual Sect's Competition!"

"Hey, can you guys like shut up!?"

"I'm trying to enjoy Long Yu's body here."

"Yo, who the fuck said that?!"

Well, like in every cultivation novel, those disciples were spilling bullshit all over the place.

[Alright done. I've changed a few things in both of their systems, just like you asked me.]

[Luo Shengxue can still see your cultivation, but she cannot see your physique, as it will display "Innate Yang Body" forever, and your bloodline which is currently none.]

[Unfortunately, I cannot do anything about the favorability meter because if I did, the "Love System" would probably notice me.]

[And about Luo Yang, I've completely hid your fate from him, so he cannot steal any opportunity from you.]

'Alright... thanks.' Long Yu sighed in relief.

As the Holy Son was being presented to the world, he took the time to have a small talk with his system.

It seems that since he's the only "probability" and "singularity" in this world, his status is very valuable to the Heavenly Dao itself.

So, the [Plot Survival System] has a much higher authority than those protagonist's systems.

With that, he can hide a few things about him from the other systems, but his own system also mentioned that there are a few problematic systems.

There are all kinds of cheats among the protagonists of this world, and most of them are related to systems.

Sign In, Check In, Lottery, Favorability, Villain, Choice, Leveling, Upgrade, Apprentice System, Devouring and much more!

However, among all of those, his system had told him that he must be careful about three of them.

Apprentice Systems, because of their enormous rebates—which can reach 10,000 times!

And finally, something that Long Yu totally didn't expect.

Favorability System... apparently, depending on the talent of the person they conquer or get their favorability up, the rewards can even be an immortal weapon from the Upper Heavens!

'...Can Luo Shengxue's system be considered a favorability system?'

[Well... yes, but she only gets rewards from you. And since your innate talent is sealed, the rewards aren't going to be at the Upper Heavens level, but at least the Middle Heavens.]

'Ah... so I'm basically fucked.'

BOOM!

With a huge explosion, Long Yu's attention was drawn to the stage where Luo Yang had defeated another Core Disciple.

The disciples cheered loudly at his pose as a war god and complimented him continuously.

As the ceremony ended, Long Yu made his way towards one of the Sword Monuments of the sect.

These Sword Monuments are one of the sect's most precious treasures, and a lot of disciples come there to try and comprehend a powerful sword technique or even advance their sword cultivation.

'Oh, wait! I don't seem to have any talent with weapons...' Long Yu scratched his eyebrows.

'Or... do I? Does martial art also count weapons? After all, there are a lot of Martial Arts that use weapons, like kendo.'

With that in mind, Long Yu sat down in a lotus position as he reached the Sword Monuments.

Using his spiritual awareness, he locked himself in the Sword Monument, hoping to try and comprehend something.

He didn't have any hopes; besides, he was measuring his own talent at the moment.

So, he stood there quietly... for a few weeks.

Time naturally passed as he focused himself on trying to comprehend something from the Sword Monument.

And even if he stood there a whole month, he wouldn't give up!

"....."

Haaaahh...

Click...!

Suddenly, Long Yu's eyes snapped open as he suddenly felt a weird energy enter his dantian.

He immediately checked it and saw a weird worm looming around his dantian, absorbing Qi from his surroundings.

'...This...'

'Is this a Sword Gu!?' Long Yu's eyes widened in excitement.

Instead of getting a sword technique or even improving his sword attainments, he actually received a Sword Gu!

Having a Sword Gu in your Dantian was just like having a Sword Body, however, it could be stolen away from you very easily.

And from the looks of it, it seems that it is a high-grade Gu, and Long Yu knows this because it has his own consciousness!

After all, she's absorbing Qi by herself; it was just like his cultivation was on automatic!

'I need to check something; if that really appears here... I'm going to be really lucky!'

'YES!! Gu Cultivation!' Long Yu screamed inwardly.

'My luck really paid off!!'

He was on the verge of tears of joy because he was so happy about this one detail.

Gu Cultivation is a very rare cultivation method since it dates from the Ancient Times, and finding a Gu nowadays... is pretty much impossible.

Much less a high-grade one, just how Long Yu received from the monument.

Just like cultivation, it's divided into a few levels that range from 1 star to 12 stars.

Mortal, Spirit, Earth, and Heaven.

Obviously, those are only limited to the Lower Heavens, since in the Middle Heavens and Upper Heavens, the entire cultivation system changes.

'LET'S GOOOO!'

Humming a little song, Long Yu strode back to his residence.

"Ahh..."

His eyes widened as he arrived at his home and saw a familiar figure waiting for him right in front of it.

"Long time no see... Yu'er."

Her unexpectedly charming voice made his soul tremble.
