#16 - I, the eldest son of the Su family
“From now on, we are fellow disciples. Come on, call me 'Senior Brother' and let me hear it.”
Su Chen was in a good mood, smiling as he looked at Xia Qiuyue.
“Pah, I won't! From now on, I'll just call you Stinky Su Chen!”
Xia Qiuyue stuck out her tongue, embracing her rebellious nature.
Seeing Su Chen and Xia Qiuyue chatting and laughing, Lin Yunmeng in the distance felt a pang of jealousy.
What's so good about a plain and ordinary little girl?
I should be the one by Su Chen's side!
“Those disciples who failed to enter the inner sect, work hard. You'll have another chance in three years.”
Yun Qianxue offered a few simple words of encouragement, then activated the cloud ship, taking the outer sect disciples back.
Su Chen, Xia Qiuyue, and the other one hundred newly promoted inner sect disciples followed the elders into the inner sect.
The inner sect of the Heavenly Spirit Academy was even more vast, with undulating mountain ranges and countless peaks, all radiating a rosy glow. Spiritual energy permeated the air, and pavilions and palaces were scattered everywhere, resembling a celestial paradise.
As disciples of an elder, Su Chen and Xia Qiuyue could reside at Yun Qianxue's Snow Moon Peak, possessing their own cave dwellings. The environment and treatment were far better than those of ordinary inner sect disciples.
After completing the identity token registration, Su Chen, without waiting for Yun Qianxue to return, headed straight for the Mission Hall.
Inner sect disciples receive a fixed supply of resources each month, but it's only enough for daily cultivation.
To obtain more resources, or magical artifacts and cultivation techniques, you need to accept missions and earn contribution points, which can be exchanged!
As the young master of the Su family, Su Chen didn't need to earn contribution points to exchange for resources.
But Chu Fan did!
“Found it!”
Su Chen looked around the Mission Hall for a while, and a smile slowly crept onto his lips.
“Manager Wang, I want to accept the Blackwater Python mission in Nanyang Mountain.”
Su Chen took out his identity token and handed it to a manager in charge of the Mission Hall.
“A new entry?”
“The Nanyang Mountain Blackwater Python mission requires you to kill a fourth-order fierce beast. You should think carefully.”
Manager Wang was taken aback and couldn't help but advise.
New inner sect disciples are usually only at the Primordial Return Realm, first or second level. How could they kill a fourth-order fierce beast?
Don't lose your little life.
“I've thought it through.”
Su Chen nodded.
“Alright, do what you can, don't force yourself if you can't win.”
Seeing Su Chen's firm attitude, Manager Wang sighed.
After receiving the mission, Su Chen left the Mission Hall and summoned the Snow Feather Bird.
Su Chen first returned to the Su family and brought Wei Long along to secretly protect him.
Then, he headed straight for Nanyang Mountain!
At the same time, with the help of Sword尊 Yu Hong, Chu Fan, who had recovered from his injuries, was strolling around the Heavenly Spirit Academy.
For some reason, he felt a strange sense of unease and restlessness, as if something important was about to be lost.
Unconsciously, Chu Fan walked to the Mission Hall.
Thinking about how he lost his Essence of Earth, Chu Fan planned to accept some missions and earn some contribution points first.
— —
Nanyang Mountain, located outside the royal capital, is remote and inhabited by various fierce beasts, making it quite dangerous.
The fierce beast that Su Chen was going to kill was only in the outer area of Nanyang Mountain, yet it was already a fourth-order beast.
Deep within Nanyang Mountain, there was even a fifth-order Beast King!
In a deep and dark pool, a thick Blackwater Python quietly coiled.
Boom!
Suddenly, an arrow wrapped in lightning struck the edge of the pool, causing an explosion and splashing water.
The Blackwater Python's dark green eyes revealed a fierce light.
Its thick body silently swam and burrowed into the mud.
Su Chen leaped down from the Snow Feather Bird's back.
Before he could land, the ground below cracked, and the Blackwater Python opened its bloody mouth, trying to swallow Su Chen in one gulp!
This was too sudden, and it was impossible to borrow strength to dodge in mid-air!
But Su Chen remained calm. His figure swayed, leaving an afterimage in place, and he actually moved horizontally out of thin air, dodging the Blackwater Python's charged attack.
“Hiss hiss—”
The Blackwater Python emerged from the mud, carrying a fierce aura, and quickly rushed towards Su Chen.
Su Chen didn't kill it with a single strike. Instead, he used the Phantom Step to constantly dodge the Blackwater Python's attacks.
At this moment, in a patch of grass not far away, a sneaky figure appeared.
It was a petite figure. When she saw the Blackwater Python chasing Su Chen, her eyes lit up, and she quietly crept towards the pool.
She concealed her figure and crawled forward in the grass.
But Su Chen was always paying attention to the pool, so he quickly noticed her.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Su Chen's lips.
Just as the petite figure reached the edge of the pool.
Suddenly, a bright and dazzling blade light lit up!
The girl looked up in astonishment and saw the most shocking scene she had ever encountered.
A thick Blackwater Python, over thirty feet long, stood tall, opening its bloody mouth, ferocious and fierce.
A tall and slender young man stood with his back to the Blackwater Python, his expression calm. One hand held the scabbard, and the other held the hilt, raising the horizontal blade above his head.
Accompanied by strands of intense lightning, the horizontal blade was unsheathed!
Boom!
The lightning surged, and the blazing blade radiance caused the world to lose its color. The surging lightning was boundless, engulfing everything around!
The Blackwater Python, with its fourth-order Profound Spirit Realm strength, didn't even have a chance to resist. Its huge head was instantly severed, and then it exploded into a pile of charred fragments under the lightning strikes.
The petite figure was stunned, her small mouth slightly open. She was completely dumbfounded.
That was a Blackwater Python with a second-level Profound Spirit Realm cultivation!
He killed it in one strike?
Before she could react, Su Chen's figure swayed, and he appeared in front of her like a ghost.
The blazing Lightning斩 Blade carried an astonishing chill, pressing against her fair neck, cutting her skin and seeping a trace of blood.
Her body stiffened, and an unprecedented sense of impending doom enveloped her heart!
“I'm Su Chen, the young master of the Su family.”
“Submit, or die!”
Su Chen looked down at her pale face, his tone indifferent.
“I am willing to submit to you!”
The girl only hesitated for a moment before choosing to follow her heart.
[Ding, the host forcibly subdued the heroine Qingling, the plot has changed, the Son of Fortune Chu Fan's fortune has been damaged, gaining 50000 Fortune Value.]
As the system prompt sounded, the corners of Su Chen's mouth slightly raised, revealing a standard Dragon King-style smile.
The girl in front of him was one of the heroines in the original plot!
Different from the heroines he had encountered before.
Whether it was Lin Yunmeng, Xia Qiuyue, or Yun Qianxue, Su Chen only created a rift between them and Chu Fan. There was still a possibility of them getting together in the subsequent plot, and the plot change was not very significant.
But this time, Su Chen forcibly took Qingling into his possession, completely changing Qingling's life trajectory!
Therefore, the Fortune Value gained this time was particularly high.
