Looks Like I'm Developing Toward Being All-Powerful — Being Good-Looking Isn't Your Fault
Looks Like I’m Developing Toward Being All-Powerful — Being Good-Looking Isn’t Your Fault
Puchi!
Blood splattered everywhere, accompanied by a despairing scream.
A sword beam from Gu Changge pierced straight through Long Teng’s glabella, leaving a bloody hole that ran clean through from front to back.
Moreover, that sword beam had yet to dissipate — it firmly impaled Long Teng’s Primordial Spirit.
His face still wore an expression of terror and despair, his heart filled with the utmost regret.
Long Teng never could have imagined.
Even after breaking through to yet another realm, he was still no match for Gu Changge in the slightest.
With a single strike, he was grievously wounded.
The gap between the two of them was simply not something that could be bridged by him raising his cultivation by one realm.
Thinking of this, Long Teng despaired.
Terrifying pain was tearing at his Primordial Spirit, pierced through by the Sword Qi formed from the Endless Immortal Art.
After all... the Endless Immortal Art was the supreme offensive art for attacking the Primordial Spirit.
Gu Changge’s figure appeared before Long Teng, robes fluttering, not a speck of dust on him.
In everyone’s eyes, he didn’t look at all like someone who had just gone through a great battle.
If one ignored the five-colored blood staining his hand, he appeared rather refined and divinely elegant.
At this moment, even Gu Xianer was slightly dazed, not knowing what she was recalling.
Her small face flushed faintly red.
After all, this was the true appearance of the Gu Changge she had imagined before — cold and cruel.
At this time, a notification of the Fortuity Plundering Talisman’s successful use also rang out in Gu Changge’s mind.
<*Ding!* Fortuity Plundering Talisman successfully plundered. Obtained 4,000 Fortuity Points.>
“Long Teng’s Fortuity has been reduced to zero. Triggering the Fortuitous One kill-drop rule.”
Gu Changge narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly returning to normal.
Just as he had expected.
In a state of despair, the Fortuity Plundering Talisman’s success rate was at its highest.
Now, the Fortuity Points on Long Teng had all transferred to him.
The only remaining use was to see whether anything good would drop after the kill.
An extra Heavenly Gift Treasure Chest, plus the System’s rewards — all in all, it counted as a decent haul.
When the time came, Gu Changge could consider exchanging for another Absolute Detachment Bone.
After all, that thing was truly powerful, directly allowing him to wield the power of rules without needing to comprehend them himself.
If he accumulated and stacked them later on, even controlling true laws, or even the Source Great Dao, would be effortless.
“Long Teng-daren...”
“You surnamed Gu, if you know what’s good for you, hurry up and release Long Teng-daren!”
At this moment, many of Long Teng’s followers, finally reacting, shouted out one after another.
Their expressions changed drastically, faces pale, incomparably worried and terrified, afraid that Gu Changge would kill Long Teng outright right now.
Although the training expedition on the Celestial Ancient Continent had been agreed upon by all the various Dao Lineages.
Once here, life and death were left to fate — even the older generation was forbidden from interfering and breaking the rules.
But now, watching Long Teng about to be killed.
How could they possibly sit still?
However, out of fear of Gu Changge, this crowd of young beings — some with golden wings, some with ox horns on their heads — only dared to shout threats at him, not daring to approach.
They weren’t as foolishly arrogant as Long Teng, throwing their lives away when they clearly knew they were no match.
Even Long Teng, who had broken through to the True Enlightened Realm in a desperate situation, was no match for Gu Changge.
Among the younger generation of the Celestial Ancient Continent now, who else could stop him?
Gu Changge glanced at this group of beings, an indescribable meaning flashing through his eyes.
In an instant, this group of beings trembled all over, bone-chilling cold spreading through them, even their divine souls quivering.
That gaze, filled with condescension and casual indifference, left them completely frozen in place, not daring to move an inch.
“Master, shall we kill them?”
Seeing this, the group of followers behind Gu Changge also stepped forward, one of them grinning with a cold and cruel smile.
Facing the powerful beings of the Celestial Ancient Continent, they showed no fear whatsoever.
Even someone as strong as Long Teng was no match for Gu Changge — as his followers, they were all the more emboldened to press their advantage.
“Kill them,” Gu Changge said indifferently. Killing one Long Teng was killing; killing a group of beings was also killing. To him, it was all the same.
“Yes, Master!” The crowd of followers responded respectfully in unison.
Immediately, battle erupted here once again.
And very quickly, all the Cultivators and beings across the mountain peaks exploded into heated discussion, as if a pot had boiled over.
No one had expected Gu Changge to act so ruthlessly and decisively, not intending to leave a single survivor.
But Yue Mingkong, who understood Gu Changge, knew clearly that this was exactly what Gu Changge would do.
Anyone who dared offend him would never meet a good end.
“Looks like the old fellows hiding in the shadows aren’t stupid — they don’t dare show themselves to save Long Teng at this point.”
At this moment, Gu Changge glanced toward the eastern sky, a strange look in his smile.
He had naturally sensed the old antiques of the Celestial Ancient Continent spying from the shadows, but he didn’t care in the slightest.
He would kill whoever he meant to kill — there was no need for any scruples at all.
After all, the clash between him and Long Teng was a battle between peers, and it had been stated that life and death were left to fate. Intervening now — would that not be viciously slapping the faces of all the powers?
Even if the Dragon Clan of the Lost Clans witnessed today’s scene, they wouldn’t dare interfere.
And very soon, Long Teng’s Primordial Spirit shattered in Gu Changge’s hand, directly dispersing into nothingness, vanishing in an instant.
Ye Langtian, Wang Wushuang, Peng Fei, and the other Young Prodigies who witnessed this scene couldn’t help but change their expressions slightly, then shook their heads with a sigh, smiling bitterly in their hearts.
Gu Changge’s methods were truly domineering — he had never intended to spare Long Teng’s life.
If it had been them, they would probably have hesitated and deliberated for a long time.
However, Gu Changge was both the Successor of Skyward Schloss and the Young Master of the Longevity Gu Family — what could the Lost Clans possibly do to him?
If a bottom line were truly crossed, the other Supreme Dao Lineages and Cults of Immortality would not sit idly by.
After killing Long Teng.
Gu Changge tossed the dragon corpse — reverted to its true form — directly into his storage ring, unwilling to let it go to waste.
At the very least, no one present dared open their mouth to snatch Long Teng’s corpse back from his hands.
Even if an expert of the Dragon Clan showed up, he wouldn’t care.
Everyone watched this scene with complicated expressions, all incomparably shaken, their hearts unable to calm for a long time.
What had happened today could be said to have swept through the entire younger generation of the Celestial Ancient Continent — native beings and outside Cultivators alike.
They needed time to properly calm down.
The domineering, confident Long Teng, who had looked down on everything as invincible, had fallen just like that — even his corpse taken away by Gu Changge.
Though, if it had been them, they wouldn’t have let go of Long Teng’s corpse either at this point... after all, it contained quite a lot of Long Teng’s True Blood!
Refine it a little, combine it with some medicinal ingredients, and use it to temper a treasure body — that would be a fine choice.
If one could glimpse the innate divine arts of the Dragon Clan’s lineage from it, that would be an even greater profit.
Many people guessed that this was Gu Changge’s true intention.
And at this very moment, the System’s notification sounded in Gu Changge’s mind right on schedule.
<*Ding!* Mission to kill the Fortuitous One Long Teng complete. Now calculating rewards.>
“The Fortuitous One’s Fortuity Points have been reduced to zero. Triggering the drop rule. Obtained an additional Heavenly Gift Treasure Chest ×1.”
“Mission complete. Obtained 3,000 Fortuity Points and 15,000 Fatums.”
All in all, these two gains were not small.
The 4,000 Fortuity Points plundered.
Plus the 3,000 Fortuity Points and 15,000 Fatums from the completed mission.
Gu Changge could now do quite a few things again.
“Open the Heavenly Gift Treasure Chest.”
Very quickly, he spoke directly in his mind.
Every time he killed a Fortuitous One, he obtained quite a few good things, and he wanted to know what Long Teng could drop.
Weng!
Very quickly, a golden treasure chest popped out before Gu Changge, appearing quite mysterious, mist swirling around it.
Then it opened with a peng.
Five-colored halos spread out from within, and a drop of crystalline blood — surging and vast, seemingly reflecting world after world — rose and fell within it.
<*Ding!* Congratulations to Master for obtaining the Five-Coloured True Dragon Blood Source. Description: Five-Coloured True Dragon Blood is the True Blood beneath a True Dragon’s hardest scales, extremely scarce in quantity, containing ultimate defensive and regenerative power.>
Seeing this description, Gu Changge couldn’t help but nod slightly, fairly satisfied. Truth be told, he had only ever treated Long Teng as an experience mob.
Getting such a Source to drop was an unexpected delight.
Gu Changge guessed that Long Teng’s sudden surge in power at that moment of danger was perhaps related to this Five-Coloured True Dragon Blood Source.
And very quickly, Gu Changge fused with this talent.
A familiar, warm sensation washed over him, flowing toward his limbs and bones — even every single cell seemed to be erupting with vast life essence.
Kachi kachi...
Gu Changge heard the sound of his muscles and bones undergoing transformation, as if rapidly dissolving and then reassembling, covered with a subtle sensation like dragon scales.
“My physique has grown much stronger again — vitality and defense... Looks like I’m being pushed toward developing in an all-powerful, multi-directional way.”
Gu Changge thought to himself, and quickly cast the thought aside.
His strength had always improved rapidly; these talent Sources were merely icing on the cake.
Chi!
Chi!
And very soon, all the Cultivators and beings who had been watching the excitement across the mountain peaks chose to depart, divine rainbows streaking off in every direction.
Gu Xianer quietly glanced at Gu Changge, then left with the Big Red Bird.
She didn’t show herself to greet him — she still bore a grudge over how Gu Changge had bullied her.
She had originally hoped to see Gu Changge suffer a setback for once.
But who knew this Long Teng would be so useless, killed by Gu Changge so easily.
This left Gu Xianer, who had wanted to gauge a bit of Gu Changge’s strength, somewhat secretly vexed.
The news spread extremely fast — almost in an instant, it was transmitted by Cultivators and beings via Photographic Stones.
The outcome of this great battle was within many people’s expectations, but the process in between shocked everyone, leaving them in disbelief.
Not only had Long Teng lost — he had died.
Furthermore, Gu Changge’s strength had been verified; his power was beyond question.
He had indeed stepped into the ranks of the Walking Taboos.
And that was the most conservative estimate.
And very quickly, the news here spread rapidly, causing enormous commotion across all regions of the Celestial Ancient Continent — after all, not everyone had come to watch the battle.
For a time, it once again stirred great waves among the various Celestial Ancient Races, and Gu Changge’s name became a taboo-like existence.
Truly, those who heard it paled, and those who saw it felt their hearts palpitate.
Many beings of the Celestial Ancient Races planned to avoid him — even Long Teng, hailed as the strongest of their generation, had met a cruel end.
If they ran into him, would they have any way to survive?
In this era, how could such a terrifying young existence appear, with strength so absurdly powerful?
This cast a gloomy cloud over the heads of the entire younger generation of the Celestial Ancient Continent.
Afterward, Gu Changge’s figure moved, and with a single step he arrived before Yue Mingkong’s carriage.
He looked straight at Yue Mingkong, seated within.
“Mingkong, ever since entering the Celestial Ancient Continent, you haven’t taken the initiative to come see your husband even once. It makes your husband a little heartbroken.”
Gu Changge spoke casually, as if intending to discuss this matter with Yue Mingkong.
But not the slightest trace of heartbreak could be seen on his face.
“Greetings, Young Master Changge!”
Yue Mingkong’s followers all spoke respectfully.
Gu Changge waved his hand.
They all knew of the pair’s relationship, so they quickly withdrew from the area, leaving the two of them a private space.
“What do you have to be heartbroken about? I’m not at your side getting in your way. Isn’t that exactly what you want?”
Yue Mingkong, who had witnessed the entire battle from start to finish, suddenly grew a little wary — after all, she had a guilty conscience, having schemed against Gu Changge just a tiny bit.
From the looks of it, Gu Changge was probably here to settle accounts with her now.
Hearing his words, though, her expression remained composed as she replied — clearly, she had dealt with Gu Changge so often that she was beyond familiar with him.
Her composure-training was already quite accomplished.
“Why do you look a little nervous to me?” Gu Changge seemed to see through her thoughts in an instant.
Yue Mingkong gazed at him through the curtain of the White Jade Carriage.
At this point, she simply decided to be frank, knowing that her little scheme against Gu Changge could never be hidden from someone as shrewd as him.
She answered, “Because I feel guilty, of course.”
“Guilty about what?” Gu Changge couldn’t help but laugh.
“Naturally, I’m guilty and afraid you’ll settle accounts with me,” Yue Mingkong said in a cool voice tinged with slight annoyance, though inwardly she actually rolled her eyes a little.
At this point, Gu Changge was still playing dumb.
However, judging from Gu Changge’s attitude, he didn’t seem to care about the matter?
She inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
“What’s there to settle accounts over? After all, being good-looking isn’t your fault.”
Gu Changge shook his head with a “you’re overthinking it” expression, then said quite naturally.
Being good-looking is what draws covetous eyes — such a simple truth.
It was just a pity that Long Teng had set his sights on the wrong person.
Hearing these words, Yue Mingkong froze for a moment, then blinked.
She found it a little hard to believe.
For a moment, she thought she had misheard.
Was Gu Changge complimenting her on being good-looking?
Yue Mingkong couldn’t help but feel a few traces of joy bloom in her heart — hearing such words from Gu Changge’s mouth was truly no easy feat.
