Within Mo Yu's dantian, an immense and scorching Pure Yang force erupted.
In an instant, it surged through his limbs and meridians like a blazing tide.
Every inch of flesh, every strand of muscle, every meridian in his body seemed to be tempered by fire. A crackling resonance echoed faintly from his bones, as though they were being reforged in a divine furnace.
Moments later, the fusion was complete.
Mo Yu clenched his fists subconsciously, sensing the explosive strength coursing through him.
His Golden Core fourth-level cultivation began to surge once more, faintly brushing against the bottleneck of the next breakthrough.
The fusion of this physique was equivalent to nearly years of arduous cultivation.
Ecstasy welled up in his heart.
After years of being labeled a "trash" protagonist, he finally possessed a physique worthy of his destiny.
It truly hadn't been easy.
Yan Xi, who had been observing him closely, noticed the transformation as well. A flicker of surprise crossed her beautiful face.
"You've grown stronger… because of dual cultivation?"
Her current divine sense was too weak to discern the precise changes within him because of helping him escape from enemies.
Mo Yu did not respond.
Because the system notifications had yet to stop.
[Mo Yu's opportunity has been intercepted by you. He must be heartbroken. Now is the optimal time to plunder his Luck.]
[Plundering Luck…]
[…]
[Unknown force detected attempting to plunder your Luck. Activating defensive mechanism automatically.]
[…]
Mo Yu's expression grew strange.
This system… why does it feel a little foolish?
It tries to plunder his own Luck—
Then activates protection to stop itself?
This operation was utterly absurd.
Definitely a bug.
[Luck plunder failed.]
[Automatically replenishing Luck.]
[Luck +1000.]
[Villain Points +1000.]
Mo Yu stood there in stunned silence.
This was ridiculous.
After a moment, however, he accepted reality.
Since it existed, he might as well adapt to it.
Perhaps the incompetent author of fate had simply assigned him the wrong system.
Calming himself, he began analyzing its functions.
Suppressing the Son of Luck would grant rewards.
Rewards included cultivation, techniques, martial skills, spiritual treasures, medicinal pills, special abilities, Luck, Villain Points, and more.
Villain Points could be exchanged for rare items in the System Shop.
But the Son of Luck… was himself.
How was he supposed to suppress himself?
He temporarily set the question aside.
Then he examined the Pure Yang Holy Body's details.
Compared to an ordinary Pure Yang physique, his possessed two additional effects.
First, it could enhance his Physical attractiveness.
Second, anyone attempting to dual cultivate with him for personal gain would instead be counter-refined by him.
Excellent.
Though powerful, the Pure Yang Holy Body was also known as a cauldron physique, on par with the Pure Yin Saint Body.
He casually browsed the System Shop.
Prices ranged from trivial to astronomical.
Chaos Dao Art — Supreme Grade Technique.
Price: 10,000,000,000 Villain Points.
Mo Yu immediately stopped looking.
Ten zeros.
Ten billion.
Was this system trying to mock villains?
No one could accumulate that amount in a lifetime.
He scanned cheaper items but found nothing worthwhile he could currently afford.
For now, he ignored the shop.
With a thought, he opened the system panel.
[Name: Mo Yu]
[Realm: Golden Core Stage — Fourth Level]
[Physique: Chaos Divine Body (Unawakened), Pure Yang Holy Body]
[Cultivation Technique: Heavenly Profound Scripture (Heaven Rank — Top Grade), Great Sky Burning Art (Human Rank — Top Grade, Upgradable)]
[Spells: Heavenly Xuan Sword Art, Heavenly Xuan Spear Art, Heavenly Xuan Lightning Art…]
[Special: Immortal Bone (Incomplete), Azure Nether Spirit Flame, Pure Yang True Fire]
[Luck: 11000 (Gold)]
[Villain Points: 1000]
[Evaluation: So trash I don't know how you became a villain. This system will help you become a super invincible great great great villain.]
[Note: Luck ranks — Black, Gray, White, Green, Blue, Purple, Gold, Colorful.]
Mo Yu rolled his eyes inwardly.
All trash protagonists start like this.
He wasn't surprised by the Immortal Bone or the Chaos Divine Body.
Which Son of Luck didn't have at least one heaven-defying cheat?
The problem was that both were unusable in their current state.
This system… truly was formidable.
It had actually allowed him to possess two physiques simultaneously.
Suddenly—
[Detected Daughter of Luck: Yan Xi. Suppressing her will yield rewards.]
Mo Yu turned his head.
Yan Xi stood quietly beside him.
Her fiery red dress flowed like living flame, perfectly outlining her graceful curves. She resembled a crimson lotus blooming within a dark immortal cave—enchanting yet untouchable.
Her snow-white hair cascaded to her waist, shimmering like moonlight. Her ruby eyes glowed like distant stars, deep and captivating.
Peerless.
Sacred.
The system panel expanded.
[Name: Yan Xi]
[Luck: Purple]
[Affection: 100 (Treats him as her own son)]
[Description: Once a mighty power in the Immortal Realm. Betrayed by a friend and fell. Her remnant soul rested within a ring until encountering Mo Yu, guiding his cultivation. Their bond resembles both a master and mother.]
[You have successfully intercepted the Daughter of Luck, Yan Xi.]
[Your relationship is akin to mother and son. She would sacrifice her life for you. Though no romantic attachment exists, establishing a strong foundation may lead to further development.]
[This system respects all preferences, including master-disciple scenarios.]
"System! Don't slander my innocence out of nowhere!"
Mo Yu roared inwardly.
How could he possibly entertain such thoughts?
Yan Xi treated him like her own child.
He respected her deeply.
Unless she herself was willing, even death would not compel him to betray his teacher and destroy his own foundation.
The system, of course, did not respond.
It continued coldly.
[As a villain, you are naturally detested by those favored by the Heavenly Dao. Intercepting such an existence must have required an enormous price.]
It wasn't that bad.
Only his Golden Core had been drained dry.
Had the Holy Lord not protected him, he would have been expelled.
[Villain counterattack successful.]
[Reward: Netherworld Ghost Fire.]
[Netherworld Ghost Fire: Extremely malicious. Burns the soul and incinerates defilement. Especially lethal to the Primordial Spirit. Requires soul energy as nourishment.]
[Currently plundering Mo Yu's Luck… Failed. Automatically replenishing.]
[Luck +1000.]
[Villain Points +1000.]
Mo Yu's heart trembled.
He looked inward toward his dantian.
A pale, ghostly white flame flickered quietly there, emitting an eerie chill that sent shivers through his spirit.
Though silent, it felt capable of freezing the soul and devouring vitality itself.
Netherworld Ghost Fire.
It was weak for now and required soul nourishment to grow.
Once strengthened, it would surpass even the Pure Yang True Fire in lethality.
In twenty years as a Son of Luck, he had never encountered such a monstrous opportunity.
System… you are truly something.
"Little Yu, something feels different about you."
Yan Xi's voice pulled him from his thoughts.
He immediately composed himself.
"Different? How so?"
He carefully observed her expression, ensuring she sensed nothing improper.
Yan Xi frowned slightly, her crimson eyes narrowing.
"You seem… more handsome."
Could dual cultivation improve one's appearance?
She had no experience in such matters.
Mo Yu inwardly sighed in relief.
"Sister Yan Xi, I seems to have awakened a physique."
"You awakened one?"
"Of course."
Mo Yu smiled confidently and released his aura.
A vast wave of Pure Yang power surged outward, filling the chamber with blazing intensity.
To be continued…
