Chapter 28 A Leek Must Have a Leek's Awareness
"Bang!"
Lin Yang was stomped into the ground, his entire body twisted like a broken stake, blood streaming all over him.
"Hiss…"
"What kind of momentum is this?"
"Does such an unshakable force truly exist in this world?"
Everyone was dumbfounded, their eyes wide in shock.
It was well known that manifestations ranked higher than momentum.
A manifestation, also called a heaven-and-earth phenomenon, could borrow the power of the laws. Even the weakest manifestation could triple one's combat power.
Even so, Lin Yang, relying on his manifestation alone, had defeated the Holy Son they once believed invincible.
Yet Gu Qing had only used his momentum, casually stomping Lin Yang without leaving him any chance to fight back.
How terrifying was Gu Qing's true strength then?
The crowd was shaken to their core, gazing at Gu Qing, incomparably handsome, with transcendent bearing like an exiled immortal, and could not help but admire him.
This was the true favored son of heaven.
Not something their local prodigies could compare to.
[Detected: Lin Yang harbors deep malice toward the host. Initiating luck plunder. Super Counter activated. 1000 fortune points plundered from Lin Yang.]
"Pu!"
Lin Yang spat out a mouthful of blood, then began shoving pills into his mouth as though they cost nothing.
His cultivation was climbing step by step.
Everyone stared in disbelief.
Never mind where he had gotten so many top-grade spirit pills, but swallowing them like this—was he not afraid of his body exploding?
[Detected: Lin Yang harbors deep malice toward the host. Initiating luck plunder. Super Counter activated. 1000 fortune points plundered from Lin Yang.]
[Detected: …]
"So, he's a pill-abusing protagonist."
Gu Qing was in no rush to strike.
After all, Lin Yang was showing the perfect awareness of a leek. The system's broadcast never ceased, fortune flowing in endlessly.
On Lin Yang's data panel, his fortune points, originally 130,000, were plummeting madly.
As long as Lin Yang kept supplying fortune without rest, he was Gu Qing's best brother.
"What realm are you truly?"
Lin Yang's eyes glowed coldly as he stared at Gu Qing.
He refused to believe Gu Qing was merely at Profound Core sixth level.
The Profound Core Realm could not possibly hold such terrifying momentum. It was not as though he had never slain a mid-stage Profound Core before.
"Hmph. How could a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan? How could a swan comprehend the will of a kunpeng?"
"Mere ant, you are not worthy of being my senior brother's opponent. To die at his hand is the greatest honor of your life."
Hearing Lin Yang doubt Gu Qing's realm, Su Qingyue coldly spoke.
In her heart, Gu Qing was an invincible figure.
Lin Yang, a mere arrogant fool, was beneath contempt.
To die under Gu Qing's hand was already too good for him.
"This…"
Everyone looked at each other, each seeing astonishment in the other's eyes.
In their impression, Su Qingyue had always been aloof and untouchable, like a celestial maiden. How could she speak such sharp and merciless words?
Uncertain, they looked again.
"Pu!"
Lin Yang vomited blood in rage, staring at her in disbelief.
The pure and kind little junior sister he cherished was so cold and ruthless.
Had she too learned to cling to the powerful?
"Fine, fine, fine! No matter your senior brother's realm, today I will defeat him."
Lin Yang's fury boiled.
His heartfelt devotion had been trampled. He had misjudged her.
Since Su Qingyue loved Gu Qing so much, then let her watch as he brought Gu Qing down.
Lin Yang frantically operated his cultivation method. The true solar fire within him blazed, burning spirit pills into pure energy. His cultivation surged and his true essence skyrocketed.
Boom!
Purple Mansion fourth level, Purple Mansion ninth level…
"Fight me!"
Lin Yang roared, his battle intent soaring to the heavens. Flames surged from his body, twisting the very air with their heat.
He did not believe it. At Purple Mansion ninth level, could he still not defeat Gu Qing?
Boom!
His full cultivation erupted. A crimson blazing sun rose high in the sky, Lin Yang standing like the son of the sun, his divine might vast.
The protective formation of the arena shattered instantly, and the scorching flames burned the earth into ashes.
"Hiss…"
"Retreat quickly."
"Is that the Crimson Sun Divine Body?!"
"Our Holy Land was actually hiding a Crimson Sun Divine Body…"
The disciples could not withstand the scorching heat and retreated in panic, summoning their spiritual artifacts and treasures, their gazes shaken as they looked at Lin Yang.
At this moment, Lin Yang resembled the divine son wielding the blazing sun, his might like a prison, his manifestation illuminating heaven and earth.
"So this is a divine body? The manifestation is so strong, too strong."
"If even an ordinary divine body holds such might, then what kind of terror must intermediate, superior, supreme, and sovereign divine bodies be?"
Those who usually prided themselves as prodigies finally witnessed the power of a divine body, and despair filled their hearts.
Alongside it was deep jealousy.
Too strong.
A divine body truly was the beloved of heaven. Their so-called spirit bodies and kingly bodies could not even withstand its manifestation.
"If only I were born with a divine body…"
Some gazed at Lin Yang, their eyes dazzled, their hearts surging with fierce desire.
"Damn it, so he's a divine body. He hid it so deeply."
"Who knows if Gu Qing can even defeat him."
Cha Songliang ground his teeth, his eyes filled with venom, praying in his heart that Gu Qing must slay Lin Yang.
Otherwise, losing his position as Holy Son was trivial.
He might not even keep his life.
After all, he had already offended Lin Yang.
"Saint Lord…"
The higher-ups of the Holy Land could not sit still, their eyes burning with excitement as they stared at Lin Yang.
A divine body, even an ordinary one, was a physique that might not appear even once in centuries.
"Saint Lord…"
The Hall of Enforcement's master looked at Su Wu with pleading eyes.
That was a divine body, with the potential to become a Saint.
If he died, it would be an immeasurable loss for the Holy Land.
"There is no need to say more. He must die." Su Wu's gaze was ice cold.
The greater Lin Yang's talent, the more he wanted him dead.
Of all things, why did Lin Yang have to go against his future son-in-law?
"I don't believe I cannot defeat you."
Having raised his cultivation to the peak of Purple Mansion ninth level, Lin Yang wielded his longsword, resembling the son of the sun. A single slash fell, like a blazing sun crashing down.
The searing heat burned everything, wrapped in unstoppable sword intent.
Lin Yang's expression was arrogant, his eyes indifferent.
He had carved his way out from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, his combat power unmatched.
And Gu Qing, a flower grown in a greenhouse, how could he compare?
His combat power was now a hundred times stronger than before. He refused to believe he still could not defeat Gu Qing.
"Heh!"
Gu Qing sneered coldly.
It seemed Lin Yang had already forgotten that kick just moments ago.
In that case, another kick was in order.
A leek must accept its fate as a leek.
Docilely supplying him with fortune.
Boom!
As Gu Qing lifted his foot, heaven and earth shifted, the universe reversed.
Lin Yang's earth-shaking manifestation instantly vanished, replaced by a massive footprint descending from the sky.
"I—"
"You—"
Lin Yang's eyes bulged with rage.
Again.
That footprint again.
An irresistible force descended, crushing his divine body until it nearly burst apart.
Lin Yang stared fixedly at Gu Qing, desperate to ask what realm he truly was.
But…
Gu Qing had not even used the strength of the Profound Core Realm, nor even the Purple Mansion Realm.
He had relied solely on the "momentum" of the Spirit Sea Realm.
If that was true, then…
Lin Yang's arrogance and indifference gradually turned into despair, fear spreading through his heart.
Boom!
The footprint landed. Lin Yang spat blood, his divine body cracking, fresh blood gushing like a spring.
[Detected: Lin Yang feels fear toward the host. Initiating luck plunder. Super Counter activated. 1000 fortune points plundered from Lin Yang.]
[Detected: Lin Yang harbors deep malice toward the host. Initiating luck plunder. Super Counter activated. 1000 fortune points plundered from Lin Yang.]
[Detected: …]
Looking at the beaten Lin Yang lying like a dead dog, Gu Qing smiled with satisfaction.
This was a proper leek—or rather, his good brother.
Gu Qing asked the system, "System, can fear toward me also be plundered as fortune?"
[Correct. As long as the protagonist has not lost his protagonist's halo, no matter the emotion, whether enemy or ally, it will actively be plundered.]
[Of course, I refer to Lin Yang. He, like Lin Chen, is a lone star of calamity, a fate-devouring life pattern.]
[Some protagonists without these fates cannot devour others' fortune. They can only seize fortune by defeating others through their own effort, or by achieving certain deeds to gain the blessing of heaven and bear destiny.]
