Lu Cheng originally wasn't very interested in these so-called treasure exhibitions.
After all, he wasn't here to make money, and those so-called antiques were just old junk covered in historical dust; buying them back would only make them decorative items.
He was about to find an excuse to politely decline the enthusiastic invitation from the school leaders.
But at that moment, his sharp eyes inadvertently caught sight of someone... someone glaring at him with a resentful and hateful look?
That person was wearing a cheap, faded tracksuit, looking ordinary and unremarkable.
But those eyes... that resentful and hateful gaze, Lu Cheng was very familiar with it!
It was the kind of look that said, 'You stole my wife, I'll kill you sooner or later.'
The moment Lu Cheng's eyes met that gaze, he keenly felt a sense of familiarity.
This kind of look was extremely classic; he had even seen it more than once on a series of unlucky protagonists like Lin Fan, Shen Yan, Xiao Zhan, and Qin Yu.
It could be described as the classic protagonist's look of deep-seated grievance and hatred!
Interesting.
It seemed his purpose for this trip was indeed within reach.
And that young man, after a brief clash of gazes with Lu Cheng.
He immediately lowered his head and walked towards the exhibition hall of the 'Ancient Civilization Treasure Exhibition,' like an ordinary student watching the show.
Lu Cheng watched his light footsteps, and his interest grew even stronger.
So, he no longer declined, offering a gentle smile and a nod to the school leaders beside him.
"Since the Principal is so hospitable, then I, Lu, would be impolite to refuse."
"Coincidentally, I also want to see what kind of world-shocking treasures our Modu University has collected."
After speaking, accompanied by the two girls and surrounded by the leaders, he followed behind that ordinary young man and slowly walked towards the exhibition hall... Meanwhile, on the other side.
Immortal Emperor Ling Tian, upon seeing Lu Cheng's deep eyes, felt his heart suddenly clench!
His incomplete wisp of divine soul and his intuition were frantically warning him.
This handsome mortal ant in front of him was not simple!
Although Lu Cheng's eyes appeared gentle on the surface, deep within them, a cold killing intent and indifference were hidden!
This mortal ant had definitely killed people!
And, perhaps, quite a few.
"Although I don't know how he managed to kill people and still stand here unscathed, enjoying admiration."
"But this is enough to show that he is definitely not a good person, very dangerous and difficult to deal with!"
"Before I, this Emperor, have received the nourishment and strengthening of that supreme cultivation cauldron."
"I absolutely cannot have a direct conflict with this troublesome ant!"
"Otherwise, if I capsize in the gutter, it would be a huge loss!"
Immortal Emperor Ling Tian originally intended to temporarily avoid his Edge and just walk around the campus to familiarize himself with the customs of this 'End of Dharma Cage.'
However, he unexpectedly sensed an unusual fluctuation again in the direction of that exhibition hall?
"Hmm?"
"In this small world where laws are incomplete and spiritual energy is scarce."
"How can opportunities appear one after another?"
"Could it be that this Emperor's luck is truly so heaven-defying?"
In any case, he had to investigate.
He absolutely could not miss any opportunity to restore his strength.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Lu Cheng also walked with unhurried steps into the exhibition hall, which was said to house many ancient civilization treasures.
The lighting inside the hall was slightly dim, and glass display cases, illuminated by soft spotlights, showcased various rare and exotic treasures.
However, he wasn't there to see these; his deep eyes searched among the crowds of tourists.
Soon, he caught sight of that ordinary young man, Immortal Emperor Ling Tian, who seemed to be looking for something.
Lu Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, a sharp glint flashing in his deep eyes.
He silently chanted in his heart!
Qi Observation Technique activated.
Instantly, he saw with extreme clarity.
Around Immortal Emperor Ling Tian's seemingly ordinary body, a considerable amount of golden luck was swirling.
The density and intensity of this luck were significantly stronger than all previous protagonists.
He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at his sister, who was holding his arm and looking around.
Hmm.
Although Immortal Emperor Ling Tian's luck was impressive, it was still a little bit less compared to his own sister's golden luck, which had almost solidified.
Interesting... The system's notification sound in his mind arrived as expected.
"Ding! A new Son of Destiny has been detected. The Son of Luck, Immortal Emperor Ling Tian (male lead of'Supreme Immortal Emperor in the City, All School Beauties Captured!') has automatically triggered plot foresight!"
Immortal Emperor?
Lu Cheng heard this 'chuunibyou'-sounding name, and the impressive background of this new protagonist, an Immortal Emperor's remnant soul taking over a body for rebirth, and couldn't help but reveal an even more anticipatory smile.
As usual, he skillfully prepared to use 'Plot Foresight' to carefully examine the key nodes for this Immortal Emperor Ling Tian.
However, when he opened the freshly generated script.
He saw that the virtual pages on the system panel, which should have listed all key plot nodes, were covered by a thin layer of gray mist.
Only the first plot node remained clearly visible.
"Ancient Civilization Treasure Exhibition, Immortal Emperor's remnant soul first encounters 'Ancient Relic,' obtains a wisp of primordial immortal energy, divine soul slightly stabilized."
All content after this plot node was covered by mist.
With a thought, he clicked on the vaguely visible second plot point, and the system's prompt popped up accordingly.
"Subsequent plots will take different, new directions depending on the host's choice for the previous plot node!"
A hint of understanding flashed in Lu Cheng's eyes.
So, it was a 'one step at a time' approach?
As expected of an Immortal Emperor, this old fellow was quite interesting.
He then proceeded to investigate Immortal Emperor Ling Tian's personal information.
"Name: Immortal Emperor Ling Tian"
"Identity: Protagonist of'Supreme Immortal Emperor in the City, All School Beauties Captured!'"
"Main Ability: Immortal Emperor Rebirth"
"Combat Power: 600 (Qi Refining Stage, otherworld cultivation level)"
"Charm: 50 (Looks a bit weak)"
"Luck Rating: SS"
You're even doing Qi Refining now?
But in the end, he only had 600 combat power, which was not as good as Qin Yu's peak Huajin, let alone Lu Cheng's current Danjin strength.
So he was just a weakling who looked good but was useless!
Then I'll take your 'Ancient Relic' first.
I hope this Kidney-Deficient Emperor knows what's good for him, otherwise, even if it means giving up the future opportunities that this SS-rated luck might bring, I'll have to kill him immediately and not let him develop.
