Chapter 2: Chosen One And Plot Viewing Ticket
New flesh and blood issues formed out of thin air, bonding together.
If anyone had been in the room, they would throw up immediately because the entire room smelled like a butcher shop and the eerie sound of flesh and blood splashing against each other, it formed an atmosphere similar to that horror movie.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen opened his ghostly eyes, It was as if he had gone through the gruesome torture of eighteen layers of hell.
"S-screw you, System!" Xiao Chen’s voice wavered as he continued to speak."Is this what you meant when you said ’little bit of pain’?"
Just then, the smell of bloo entered his nostrils."Ugh...this nauseating smell" He covered his nose with disgust, looking at the bloody scene caused by the fusion.
"Luckily, no one is visiting me right now, or else I might have been mistaken for a cannibal" He said with a speechless face.
He quickly cleared up the room and cleansed his body with the help of his spiritual energy.
Shortly after, Xiao Chen stood before the mirror, looking at his newly formed body.
His face resembled that of a jade-type protagonist, but his body, particularly his impressive physique, was more akin to a muscular type or NTR antagonist.
After fusing with the physique, his face and body reached a new level of perfection. He liked this combination, knowing it could aid in his survival.
He felt the overwhelming strength coursing through his body after breaking through to the divine awakening realm.
At this realm, people typically awaken an affinity for one of the three thousand daos, while some rare geniuses from the upper realms might awaken two affinities.
Xiao Chen had also awakened twin affinities for darkness and light, both of exceptionally high rank—something even top talents in the upper realm would struggle to achieve.
"Now that I’ve reached the Divine Awakening Realm, should I report to the sect and apply to become a core disciple?" He considered it for a moment before dismissing the idea.
He was cautious of the attention he might attract by suddenly becoming a core disciple, especially since it hadn’t been long since he became an inner disciple.
Additionally, he recalled a person named Ye Fan from his memories, someone who seemed suspiciously similar to a chosen one.
So, he decided to first confirm his suspicions.
After wearing a simple white robe, he headed to the spot where Ye Fan’s humiliation ritual would take place daily.
His suspicions about Ye Fan were not baseless.
Originally, he was regarded as an extraordinary genius for achieving soul-strengthening at the age of 13.
’This fulfills one of the criteria for being a chosen one,’ he thought to himself.
However, his cultivation began to decline when he reached the peak stage of soul strengthening at the age of 15.
’Here comes the second criteria,’ he thought.
As the saying goes, the higher you climb a mountain, the more despair you feel when you fall.
For the next three years, disciples, deacons, and even elders mocked him for his past failures. Nevertheless, the sect kept him as an inner disciple, hoping that Ye Fan would eventually recover his cultivation base.
’And finally the third condition’ Xiao Chen already had a guess that Ye fan was a chosen one with a counter-attacking style.
Moreover, many speculated on the reasons behind Ye Fan’s decline in cultivation.
Some believed it stemmed from jealousy, as Ye Fan and the sect’s saintess were once regarded as a perfect couple, both being the most talented individuals in the sect.
Thus, while a few people believed that the Saintess’s suitors were the reason for Ye Fan’s cultivation loss, many were aware that he and the Saintess had never had any romantic involvement.
The Saintess rarely went out, dedicating herself entirely on cultivation.
As Xiao Chen recalled this, he sneered and said internally, ’Hehe, how cliché. A disabled trash and a Saintess’
’Now all that’s left is to confirm that he is a chosen one and use the ’plot viewing ticket’ to know the rest of the plot’
After ten minutes, Xiao Chen arrived at the inner sect square. As soon as he landed on the ground, a system prompt echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Chosen one detected]
’Just as I expected,’ Xiao Chen smiled to himself and directed his gaze toward a group of disciples gathered around an average-looking young man, laughing and mocking him in unison. ’That’s the fourth condition for you’
Despite having an average face, he would attract every beauty in the story, whether it be a saintess or a demoness.
He continued to watch from a distance, not wanting to interrupt the disciples who were ’worshipping’ Ye Fan.
Ye Fan remained silent the whole time but a cold glint flashed in his eyes, which the surrounding disciples naturally didn’t notice.
However, Xiao Chen keenly sensed his murderous intent and promptly used the Villain’s Eye on Ye Fan. ’Villain’s eye’
Soon, a semi-transparent blue panel appeared in front of him.
[Name: Ye Fan
Status: Inner disciple of the Peerless Heaven Sword Sect and young master of the Immortal Ye Family in the Upper Realm
Cultivation: Soul Strengthening Early Stage (recovering)
Physique: Great Yang Divine Body
Destiny Value: 4500]
Upon viewing Ye Fan’s profile, Xiao Chen was stunned.
’What…He is the young master of immortal ye family and it’s a upper realm force!’
’Damn it, He had already started recovering his strength and his physique seems powerful from just the looks of it’
While Xiao Chen didn’t know the anything about the Immortal Ye Family, he understood the significant gap in power between it and a mere lower realm like the Peerless Heaven Sword Sect.
After confirming that Ye fan was indeed a chosen one, Xiao Chen immediately returned to his peak and was excited to use the ’plot viewing ticket.’
After confirming that Ye Fan was indeed a chosen one, Xiao Chen immediately returned to his peak, excited to use the "Plot Viewing Ticket."
A couple of minutes later, he entered his cultivation chamber, sat cross-legged, and called out to the system
’System, activate the Plot Viewing Ticket!’
[Ding! The Plot Viewing Ticket has been activated]
Instantly, a torrent of unfamiliar memories flooded into Xiao Chen’s mind
A few minutes later, he slowly opened his eyes, radiating a palpable and terrifying murderous intent.
’Calm down, none of this has happened yet...’ He tried to calm himself with this thought.
According to the plot, he appeared to be the cannon fodder that Ye Fan defeated in the annual sect competition. After being defeated by Ye Fan, he lost his mind and began to target him at every opportunity.
In response, Ye Fan counterattacked and ultimately killed him.
"Hahahahaha!" Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen began to laugh as he recalled his final moments.
Before his death, he ensured that Ye Fan would pay the price.
The price was none other than Ye fan’s tool to carry out his "deed".
’Heh, his size wasn’t half of my mine’ He thought with a mocking smile.
Now that he knew about the plot, He would make sure Ye fan pay ten times the price for taking his life.
’But the one thing that scares me is that heaven’s will can actually turn me into a fool without its direct involvement.’ Xiao Chen thought with a grave expression.
[Ding! Rest assured, Host]
[Now that the host has awakened the system, heaven’s will can no longer affect the host’s intelligence or luck.]
Hearing its words, Xiao Chen breathed a sign of relief and looked at the system panel with a grateful look.
’Now that out of the way, I need to create a plan to royally screw up Ye fan’ As he thought of this, an evil smile graced his lips.
Ye Fan, although the young master of the Immortal Ye Family, was sent to the lower realm during a time when the family was engaged in a conflict to establish its patriarch because Ye Zhiqiang, Ye Fan’s father, was on the losing side of the power struggle.
Ye Zhiqiang understood that his and Ye Fan’s lives would be at risk if the opposing faction won the power struggle.
As a result,Ye Zhiqiang made a difficult decision to hide Ye Fan in the lower realm.
More importantly, Ye Fan’s golden finger was a remnant soul, unlike the typical ones.
This remnant soul belonged to a female general named ’Ji Rongmei’ from the Immortal Ye Family.
When Ye Zhiqiang sent Ye Fan to the lower realm, he entrusted Ji Rongmei with the role of his son’s guardian. However, during a pursuit, Rongmei’s physical body was destroyed.
In a desperate attempt to survive, she stored her soul within Ye Fan’s jade pendant.
’Phew~’
’If the Immortal Ye Family had sent another guardian, I would have been done for ’ Xiao Chen thought.
Ji Rongmei had awakened from her deep sleep three days ago. Despite her soul being on the verge of destruction, her strength had remarkably recovered to the Mysterious Platform Realm.
Today was the day Ye Fan would visit the Missions and Trials Hall, where disciples undertake challenges and complete tasks to earn contribution points, which can be exchanged for cultivation resources.
He would opt for a mission that involved hunting demonic beasts and would end up crossing paths with the sect’s Saintess, who had been injured after a battle.
He immediately lent his help to heal her injuries.
When the Saintess regained consciousness and realized that Ye Fan was the one who saved her—and that he didn’t take advantage of her vulnerable state—she would develop a positive impression of him.
’And that’s the start of all the troubles,’ Xiao Chen thought with a serious expression and began to think of a plan to steal his opportunity.
Couple of minutes passed and he finally thought of a plan.
’Hehe, I gonna make Ye fan’s head shine with green’ He said to himself with a creepy smile on his face
