'System, why didn't you inform me there is a protagonist here?' Gu Chen asked as the system usually notify him whenever there is a plot character near him
Ding*
[The reason that the system didn't inform the host was because the person the host is looking is not a protagonist yet]
'Huh, what do you mean?'
[The person the host is looking is named Ye Ling, he is one of the new disciples that joined the sect at the same time as the host. In the tournament, Ye Ling will match up against Chu Xuan, another new disciple. As in the first round as the new disciples will face against one another. In his match, Ye Ling would be humiliated and his core would get destroyed and his journey to become a protagonist will begin]
'So you are saying that this Ye Ling will become a protagonist after this tournament?'
[Yes and for that reason, the system suggest the host to read Ye Ling's status]
'Then show me his status'
[Name: Ye Ling
Age: 13
Cultivation Realm: Peak Qi Condensation Realm
Background: Ye Ling was a peerless genius of the hidden Ye Family that awakened a Low Tier Heaven Grade Talent. Ye Ling got accepted into the Celestial Immortal Sect at 12 years old and joined the Second Peak. After one year of living in the sect, Ye Ling quickly adapted to the sect rules and increased his ranking quickly. Ye Ling is currently the highest ranked among the disciples that entered the sect one year ago.
Story: A week before the tournament of the Celestial Immortal Sect began, Ye Ling's cultivation regressed and he became a Qi Condensation cultivator. Ye Ling wanted to keep this matter as a secret. However, his master asked him to join the tournament which he knows that his secret would be exposed. The reason that his cultivation regressed was because he awakened the Immortal Devouring Physique. Ye Ling didn't know how his physique works and thought that it was heaven punishment. After his humiliation at the tournament, Ye Ling killed himself and a soul of a powerful expert will replace him making full use of his powerful physique.
Golden Finger: Rebirth of a powerful expert]
'So system, shouldn't the one who will be his opponent be a villain?'
[The host is correct, if Ye Ling's story progress normally, Chu Xuan will be a villain. However, the host could change the direction of Ye Ling's path and teach Ye Ling himself how to use the immortal devouring physique. This way, Ye Ling will be loyal to the host.]
'I see....'

[System update****]
[Update Complete]
[System choice generated:
1. Do nothing and observe how Ye Ling be humiliated: Ye Ling will kill himself and a powerful expert will replace Ye Ling's soul.
2. Stop Ye Ling from killing himself and teach him how to properly utilize his physique: Ye Ling will be 100% loyal to the host]
'Woah... this is really interesting'
'System, will both choices of mine change the missions that would come from Ye Ling?'
[Yes, the system missions generated would depend on the choice of the host]
Hearing the system's response Gu Chen just nodded as he thought of the situation, although having a protagonist under his command was quite a tempting offer, but he could get strong subordinates from the system shop and missions, thus he spoke 'System, I choose option 1'

[Confirmed, Ye Ling will become a protagonist, while Chu Xuan will become a villain]
'Show me Chu Xuan's status'
[Name: Chu Xuan
Title: Young master of the hidden Chu family
Age: 13
Cultivation Realm: 1st Stage Golden Core realm
Role: Villain]
'This Chu Xuan is comparable to that Xiao Long huh' Gu Chen thought to himself after seeing Chu Xuan's status
Seeing that Chu Xuan had already stepped into the Golden Core realm at the age of 13, Gu Chen doubt wether how can the holy son and holy daughter of the other top sects compare to the disciples of the Celestial Immortal sect.
'Perhaps the real talented ones are hidden from the eyes of the people, and the proclaimed Holy Sons and daughters are only a facade. Well, that don't bother me at all...' Gu Chen thought as the sect master had finished drawing up the names of the disciple
Gu Chen name is drawn to participate in the first fight, and he is matched against Xu Feng, a disciple who joined the sixth peak a year ago.
Xu Feng is also a peerless genius who awakened a Low Tier Heaven Grade talent, and is in the top 3 in rankings among the newly recruit disciples.
Cheers erupted from all over the stadium when Ye Xuan the MC announced the starting of the first match
"WOAHHH GO THIRD PEAK"
"GO XU FENG"
Many people of the audience in the stadium didn't even know Gu Chen as Gu Chen only spent his first year cultivating in peace
However, most of the disciples had heard Gu Chen's name before as Gu Chen is the disciple that all 10 peak masters were interested in, and he ultimately became a disciple of the master of the third peak
As Gu Chen and Xu Feng entered one of the arenas, many of the female disciples were fascinated as Gu Chen had a very dazzling appearance
"Junior Brother Li is so good looking"
"Junior Brother Li looks amazing"
Looking at his opponent, Gu Chen looked at Xu Feng, a 13 year old boy who is at the peak of the Core Formation realm, seeing that he didn't bring a weapon, Xu Feng might be a body cultivator and was confident with his own body.
------------
In the podium, many of the sect higher ups including the sect master, vice sect master and the other peak masters were chattering with each other as the competition is above to start
"Yang Mei, how is that kid?" The Sixth Peak master asked
"Well, he is good." Yang Mei answered shortly as she noticed that the two contestants were about to come out on stage
"How old is he again??" The Sect master asked as he noticed that Gu Chen has already broken through the Golden Core Realm
"He turned 11 years old this year." Yang Mei answered and all the higher ups of the Celestial Immortal Sect were stunned
Suddenly, the loud words of Ye Xuan interrupted them "The first match of this Tournament will begin!!!"
"You can use your own artifact, however killing is prohibited and will result in expulsion from the sect. Is that clear?"
"Yes." Gu Chen and Xu Feng nodded as they both cupped their hands and went into their fighting stance
"START!!" Ye Xuan yelled as he hit the bell beside him which produced a very loud sound and Xu Feng immediately rushed toward Gu Chen as flame erupted around his body
"WOAH XU FENG IS ON FIRE!! Ye Xuan said as the fire around Xu Feng flared everywhere inside of the arena
As Xu Feng was getting closer, Gu Chen pulled out the moon shaped sword and he activated his sword intent and use his master's sword technique
Immediately after releasing his sword intent, Gu Chen launched a series of extremely powerful yet beautiful sword slashes aimed at Xu Feng
Xu Feng was rendered powerless in front the Low Tier Heaven grade technique added by the sword intent Gu Chen possessed and the battle ended just like that
The Audience yelled and screamed as the first fight was over in just 5 seconds since it began
"WOAHH GO JUNIOR BROTHER LI"
"JUNIOR BROTHER LI IS THE STRONGEST"
The people from the third peak was excited because one of them had just won while the people from the sixth peak were quiet
