You've read countless online articles and know how lucky protagonists always manage to escape danger just by chance, time and time again.
Naturally, you won't let Lu Zhong hold back and risk any accidents.
At the same time, you're curious about Ye Chen's abilities—what makes this lucky protagonist so special?
Though confused, Lu Zhong, the bodyguard and driver, follows your orders without hesitation His body rips through space and disappears.
Boom!
Ye Chen, who is rushing, suddenly feels a terrifying chill. In the next moment, he sees a massive golden hand reaching for his head.
"A powerful figure from the holy realm!" Ye Chen exclaims in fear, sensing disaster looming. But just as quickly, a soul light bursts from his body, temporarily boosting his cultivation from the fourth level of magical power to the fifth level of mountains and rivers, allowing him to narrowly escape.
After Lu Zhong's attack, Tear!
Ye Chen loses one of his hands, which is quickly enveloped by soul light as he flees.
At this point, Ye Chen no longer cares about Liu Ruyue—his survival takes precedence.
"How dare you! There's a remnant soul in your body?" Lu Zhong growls, narrowing his eyes as he chases after him.
"He's a lucky protagonist with a 'grandfather' power!" Lu Shen muses, realizing the significance of Ye Chen's golden finger ability. The remnant soul inside him likely belonged to a powerful person, possibly even a [True Immortal on Earth].
Seeing Lu Zhong pursue Ye Chen, you begin to understand that Ye Chen's support is likely from the remnant soul. This gives you a bit more confidence.
You decide not to wait for Lu Zhong to return. Given your understanding of the "protagonist of destiny," there's a high chance Ye Chen might escape, and Lu Zhong may not be able to defeat him soon.
But that's fine. You only need to remove Ye Chen—the annoying cockroach—so he doesn't interfere with your plans.
You leave the car, pick up Liu Ruyue, and proceed as you did before, except this time, you're driving, not Lu Zhong.
After arriving at your destination with Liu Ruyue, you begin the detoxification phase and start practicing the "Ancient Dragon Elephant Art."
An hour later, you've reached the intermediate level of Tongxuan, gained deeper insight into the Ancient Dragon Elephant Sutra, and unlocked the power of the Three Elephants again.
Another half hour passes, and you break through to the high level of Tongxuan. Your ancient power begins to combine and eventually forms the "power of a dragon." Even without any Taoist martial arts training, you can now defeat a Tongxuan opponent with a single punch.
However, you soon realize your cultivation speed is slowing down. Liu Ruyue's destiny and luck may no longer be providing as much help, or perhaps you simply need other resources as your cultivation level rises.
Liu Ruyue wakes up, and this time, instead of knocking her out like last time, you grab her by the neck and demand, "Tell me why you showed up tonight. If you don't, I'll destroy your entire Liu family.
"In the previous simulation, her sudden appearance seemed too coincidental, suggesting a larger scheme was behind it. Perhaps a mastermind is pulling the strings.
Liu Ruyue, terrified by your grip and fierce expression, collapses. She admits that her family has been in decline, and her father arranged a drinking party for her to meet the Zhao family's eldest son in a marriage arrangement.
She didn't want to sacrifice herself, so she escaped during the banquet under the pretense of going to the bathroom, but fainted while running away.
"The Zhao family? One of the four major families in Magic City..." Lu Shen muses. The Zhao family is powerful, with saint-level warriors at the helm, and could be involved with the mastermind, or possibly even his accomplices.
You coldly begin using your "Supreme Emperor Bone" to siphon Liu Ruyue's luck and destiny, temporarily boosting your own. Just as you prepare to question her further, you feel a sudden chill.
It's coming.
Boom!
A loud crash from below the hotel catches your attention. You overhear conversations about people from the Liu and Zhao families planning to arrest someone.
They're linked to the mastermind, and they intend to use these forces against you.
After a brief consideration, you decide not to face them but to escape once again. You can't risk making a mistake and confronting the mastermind directly.
You flee into the forest, using your "Grease Your Feet" talent to avoid detection, hiding in a pool to conceal your presence.
Ten minutes later, a black-and-white Maybach drives by, seemingly searching for something. Soon, you hear Lu Zhong's voice from the car, calling your name.
The person who came must be real.
You step out of the pool, dry off your clothes with your spiritual energy, and get into the car without hesitation.
However, as soon as you sit down, a chilling sensation overwhelms you. Your destiny warns you.
"Got you!"
In the front seat, Lu Zhong's head spins 720 degrees, his eyes filled with smugness, blood pouring from every orifice.
But instead of panicking, you wear a smirk,
revealing, "No, I caught you."
