Chapter 7: The Unstoppable Opportunity
Chapter 7: The Unstoppable Opportunity
After Meng Shu left, Su Ming immediately began refining the Profound Yang Spirit Grass.
If he didn’t absorb this thing today, there was no guarantee it wouldn’t fall into Chu Fan’s hands due to fate’s interference.
Moreover, this herb could genuinely help him break through to the Longevity Realm - there was no reason not to use it.
What kind of idiot would hoard resources instead of using them? Was he some trash mob villain who’d drop loot after being killed?
Meanwhile, Ye Nantian had already returned to Li Jianping’s side.
“You returned just in time. Chu Fan’s special physique refinement only needs one final push. Taking the Profound Yang Spirit Grass now will surely help him attain the Profound Yang Spirit Body.”
Hearing this, Ye Nantian wished he could tear Su Ming to pieces. He vented his spiritual energy in impotent rage before saying with visible fury:
“Sect Master! That little bastard Su Ming got to the Profound Yang Spirit Grass first!”
“He had his guardian take it before I could, using his breakthrough as an excuse!”
Li Jianping found this hard to believe.
He had previously assessed Su Ming’s cultivation level. If Su Ming was attempting to break through to the Longevity Realm, requesting some resources wasn’t unreasonable.
But why not ask his guardian for them? And why specifically the Profound Yang Spirit Grass?
The first point could be explained as Su Ming trying to leech off their Three Saints Sect’s resources.
But the second made no sense at all. A coincidence? Was that even possible? Could there really be so many coincidences in the world?
Li Jianping instinctively scanned their surroundings, suspecting that Meng Shu might have been monitoring their every move.
However, after repeated checks, Li Jianping became convinced the guardian hadn’t discovered their broken formation.
“Why would Su Ming know about this?”
Just as Li Jianping was puzzling over this, Meng Shu’s mocking voice suddenly came from above:
“How very caring of Three Saints Sect towards its disciples! These two haven’t even been here for the time it takes three incense sticks to burn, and you’re already rushing to their side?”
“Or is this how punishments work in Three Saints Sect - with the sect master and master personally accompanying disciples to ensure their safety?”
These words plunged Li Jianping back into doubt.
If Meng Shu could say this, it meant the guardian only thought they were treating Chu Fan’s injuries, unaware they were helping refine his special physique.
“Could it really be a coincidence?”
But Meng Shu wasn’t about to give Li Jianping more time to think: “Will you two leave Fiery Prison Cliff voluntarily, or shall I throw you out?”
“While their punishment location is indeed Fiery Prison Cliff, it’s certainly not in this core area. I’ll give you an explanation about this matter.”
Li Jianping knew well that now wasn’t the time to clash with Meng Shu. The priority was ensuring Chu Fan could successfully obtain his special physique.
Even if it couldn’t be the supreme Profound Yang Spirit Body, that was fine.
“Didn’t you hear me? I said leave immediately!” Without another word, Meng Shu mobilized the surrounding spiritual energy to attack.
His assault targeted only Li Jianping and Ye Nantian, clearly just trying to drive them away.
Li Jianping needed to stabilize Chu Fan’s condition and couldn’t possibly fight Meng Shu at full strength.
“Damn it! Do you really think I have no temper?!” He cursed inwardly, interrupting Chu Fan’s refinement process.
Faced with choosing between preserving Chu Fan’s special physique and his own safety, he chose self-preservation.
Now there was only one way left to help Chu Fan keep his special physique.
Li Jianping moved to stall Meng Shu while shouting to Ye Nantian behind him: “Take your disciple to the Three Saints Pool!”
Without hesitation, Ye Nantian grabbed Chu Fan and Chu Yiyi and fled.
Though Meng Shu wanted to stop them, Li Jianping’s interference made it impossible.
He could only watch helplessly as Ye Nantian escaped with the two.
“Have you considered how you’ll face my young master later?”
“I’ll personally explain things to Su Ming later! That’s none of your servant’s business!”
…
[Host has interfered with the Destiny Protagonist’s opportunity. Gained 500 Destiny Points.]
Hearing this prompt, Su Ming frowned.
Interference wasn’t the same as complete interception - not the result he wanted.
Was the Destiny Protagonist’s plot armor really this thick?
“System, if I use Destiny Points to intercept Chu Fan’s opportunity, can he still obtain it later?”
[Leave it to the system, Host can rest assured.]
This answer instantly highlighted the system’s uniqueness.
Unlike his personal interference with Chu Fan’s opportunities, the system directly consumed Destiny Points to intervene - perhaps the only difference.
And the vast majority of these Destiny Points came from Chu Fan.
In other words, these points essentially originated from the Destiny Protagonist himself.
“So the system is using destiny against destiny… No wonder it doesn’t trigger chain reactions…”
“System, what exactly can Destiny Points be used for?”
[Can help host activate Destiny Vision, interfere with/suppress/intercept/plunder the Destiny Protagonist’s opportunities]
Su Ming understood most of these, but what was this “Destiny Vision”?
“System, can I activate Destiny Vision now?”
[Destiny Vision costs 1000 Destiny Points per 10-second activation]
With 5500 Destiny Points currently, Su Ming could afford a ten-second peek.
But the system’s next prompt interrupted his thoughts.
[Detected Destiny Protagonist obtaining a major opportunity. Consume Destiny Points to interfere?]
“Fuck me! Is there no end to this?!”
Even Su Ming couldn’t help swearing this time.
He’d just intercepted one of Chu Fan’s major opportunities and interfered with a minor one, only for him to suddenly stumble upon another major one.
Oh wonderful, so the Destiny Protagonist gets to cheat this blatantly?
Today I’m going to ruin your opportunity no matter what!
“System, give me the most direct solution to destroy this Destiny Protagonist’s opportunity!”
[Consume 5000 Destiny Points to alter the quality of Three Saints Golden Lotus consumed by Chu Fan, resulting in him obtaining crippled bloodline power and special physique]
Seeing this prompt, Su Ming instantly understood why Chu Fan had gotten another major opportunity.
Clearly Li Jianping had stalled Meng Shu while Ye Nantian took Chu Fan to the Three Saints Pool.
The master, concerned for his disciple, ignored all sect rules and helped Chu Fan refine several Three Saints Golden Lotuses.
This resulted in Chu Fan not only obtaining a special physique but also awakening his hidden bloodline power as in the original plot.
This cheat was downright unreasonable!
Su Ming didn’t dare act recklessly now - what if it caused Chu Fan to get yet another opportunity?
“System, deduct the points and sabotage Chu Fan’s opportunity!”
[Destiny Points deducted. This major opportunity will result in Chu Fan obtaining crippled bloodline power and special physique]
“Crippled bloodline power and special physique… That’s the best possible outcome right now. If Chu Fan can’t complete them later, they’ll become his shackles after the Nirvana Realm!”
But Su Ming knew with absolute certainty that without his interference, Chu Fan would absolutely complete his bloodline and physique thanks to his protagonist luck.
“Fucking destiny! I’ll smash you to pieces sooner or later!”
“Damn right! Destiny is fucking garbage that deserves a good beating!”
