Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: No, I Caught You

[Having read countless web novels, you know how outrageous protagonists with Destiny can be, always managing to turn danger into safety through serendipitous encounters. Naturally, you wouldn't let Lu Zhong hold back in the slightest, to avoid any accidents, and also to see what abilities this protagonist Ye Chen possesses.]

[Lu Zhong, as the protector and Driver, although puzzled, resolutely carried out your order. His Physical Body tore through space and disappeared.]

[Boom!]

[Ye Chen, who had rushed over, suddenly felt a bone-chilling sense of fear. The next moment, he saw a giant hand covered in golden light grabbing towards his head.]

["Entering Sage Realm expert!!!"]

[Ye Chen let out a terrified cry, feeling as if disaster was imminent. But the next moment, a soul light suddenly appeared on his body, causing his cultivation to briefly surge from Fourth Realm Shentong to Fifth Realm Mountain River, narrowly dodging Lu Zhong's attack.]

[Rip!]

[One of Ye Chen's hands was torn off by Lu Zhong, but it was immediately covered by a soul light and fled into the distance.]

[At this moment, he clearly couldn't care less about Liu Ruoyue; his own life was more important.]

["How dare you! You even hid a remnant soul on you?!"]

[Lu Zhong frowned slightly, rebuked sternly, and then chased after Ye Chen.]

"Turns out he's a protagonist with a built-in 'old grandpa'! These types are actually quite troublesome and are most likely to have a sudden power burst."

Lu Qian looked at the simulator's content and instantly identified the abnormality on Ye Chen and the characteristics of his "cheat".

Nine times out of ten, it was an "old grandpa" who was the remnant soul of some powerful expert.

He just didn't know what level of cultivation that so-called remnant soul had before it died.

Presumably, it wouldn't be too low.

To attach itself to an artifact as a remnant soul and maintain rationality, it must have been at least a Heavenly Human before death.

It might even have been a Land True Immortal...

[You watched Lu Zhong chase after him and roughly guessed the biggest reliance of this protagonist Ye Chen. You also felt a bit more confident in your heart.]

[You didn't choose to wait for Lu Zhong to return. Based on your understanding of protagonists with Destiny, Lu Zhong probably wouldn't be able to take down Ye Chen in a short time, and there was even a good chance the other party would escape.]

[But that was enough.]

[What you wanted was to first drive away this annoying cockroach, Ye Chen, to avoid affecting some subsequent plans.]

[You got out of the car alone, picked up Liu Ruoyue, and continued according to the first simulation's trajectory. However, this time, it wasn't Lu Zhong driving, but you.]

[....]

[You arrived at your destination with Liu Ruoyue and began the detoxification process, and started cultivating the Ancient Dragon Elephant Scripture...]

[....]

[An hour later, you reached the Intermediate stage of Profound Understanding, gaining a deeper understanding of the Ancient Dragon Elephant Scripture, and adding another three elephant's worth of strength to yourself.]

[....]

[Another half an hour later, you successfully broke through to the advanced stage of Profound Understanding. Your Ancient Elephant Power began to rapidly combine, finally forming "one dragon's worth of power". At this moment, although you hadn't cultivated any Dao methods or martial arts, you could kill a Profound Understanding expert of the same level with just your Physical Body.]

[....]

[You found that your cultivation speed began to slow down. Clearly, the assistance from Liu Ruoyue's Destiny seemed to be decreasing, or perhaps your cultivation was higher, requiring other resources.]

[....]

[She woke up. This time, you didn't knock her out like in the first simulation. Instead, you grabbed her by the neck and interrogated her: "Speak, why did you suddenly appear tonight? If you don't, I'll wipe out your entire Liu Family."]

[During the first simulation, you felt that Liu Ruoyue's appearance tonight was too coincidental. There must have been some factor involved, and it might even be related to some mastermind.]

[Liu Ruoyue was clearly frightened by you. Coupled with your ferocious expression and the choking sensation on her neck, she instantly broke down and explained that the Liu Family's fortune had declined and there were problems. Her father, in order to keep the Liu Family from falling, had arranged a dinner party tonight, hoping for her to meet the eldest son of the Zhao Family for a blind date.]

[She was unwilling to sacrifice herself, so she used going to the restroom as an excuse midway through the dinner and ran away directly. But while running, she became somewhat unconscious.]

"Zhao Family? The Zhao Family, one of the four great families of Magic City."

Lu Qian was a little surprised.

The four great families of Magic City were local powerhouses with Entering Sage level experts guarding them.

Although they couldn't compare to the terrifying Lu Family, they had deep roots and were involved in interests with many powerful forces.

Could it be that the Zhao Family of Magic City was involved with the mastermind? Or perhaps they were his accomplices!

[As a ruthless destroyer of beauty, you, who seemed to have no humanity, already had some ideas and guesses.]

[Your Supreme Emperor Bone began to exert its power, forcefully plundering some of the Destiny from Liu Ruoyue's body. You briefly received the blessing of Destiny.]

[You discovered that Liu Ruoyue seemed to be hiding something and hadn't told you everything. Just as you were about to continue questioning her about some matters, you suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness Attack once again.]

[It's here!]

[The "mastermind" from the first simulation.]

[Rumble!]

[A huge commotion came from below the hotel. You keenly heard some conversations. The people who arrived were experts from the Liu Family and the Zhao Family, seemingly planning to capture someone.]

[You knew very well that the arrival of these people must be related to the mastermind. The other party clearly intended to use these people to attack you.]

[Facing the Liu Family and Zhao Family members who had tracked you down, after a brief thought, you chose not to stay, but instead chose Slipping Away again, and ran away directly.]

[Because you didn't dare to gamble whether the so-called "mastermind" was hiding among the two groups from the Liu Family and the Zhao Family, or even if the people who arrived were really from these two families?! If things went wrong, he might have to start over on the spot.]

[You began to escape. Under the blessing of the blue talent "Slipping Away", you briefly avoided certain covetous gazes and arrived at a remote mountain forest, hiding in a pool, concealing your figure and suppressing your aura.]

[Ten minutes later, a black and white Maybach drove over from a distance, seemingly searching for something.]

[Soon, from inside the Maybach, the Driver "Lu Zhong"'s shouts were heard, seemingly calling your name.]

[This time, the people who arrived seemed to be real?]

[You breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the pool, and strode towards the car. Your spiritual energy erupted, instantly drying your clothes, and you got into the car without hesitation.]

[But as soon as you got in the car, you felt a bone-chilling coldness Attack again, and the Destiny on your body began to warn you.]

["Got you!"]

[In the front seat, the Driver "Lu Zhong"'s head rotated seven hundred and twenty degrees. Blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he stared at you intently, his face full of triumph.]

[But at this moment, you were not flustered at all, but instead showed a similarly triumphant smile.]

["No, I got you."]
