CHAPTER 437: CHAPTER 413: ARE YOU CRAZY?

"System!!" Chen Xuan rolled on the stage while furiously cursing, "Are you freaking insane? What exactly are you doing??"

The system was originally a bit panicked, not knowing why the punishment system suddenly became erratic.

But!

When Chen Xuan suddenly questioned it with such an angry tone, it felt a bit displeased.

Who does this Chen Xuan think he is? If other people don’t know, shouldn’t he be aware?

When these systems choose a host, they don’t care about talent; they look at the amount of negative emotions in a person’s heart. The greater the negative emotions, the more likely to be chosen as a host.

Therefore, their hosts are often greedy, despicable, and filled with various negative energies.

But it is only such people who will stop at nothing to climb higher and maximize the effect of the system.

So, this vermin-like Chen Xuan, others may call him a genius, but his true nature is nothing but clear to the system.

Confronted by Chen Xuan’s questioning, the system couldn’t help but say coldly, "So it’s Thunder Punishment, big deal, it’s not like you’ll die from it. What, are you dissatisfied with me now?"

Everything Chen Xuan has today was given by it. Not to mention such a small mistake, even if it were to take his life, so what?

After all.

The system can’t remember how many souls of people like Chen Xuan it has devoured.

Chen Xuan’s cultivation reaching the Immortal Emperor Realm is considered relatively successful, but in the end, he is nothing more than nourishment for the master.

And itself, it was personally crafted by the master and is a reliable assistant valued by the master.

So. What right does Chen Xuan have to raise his voice against it?

The system’s tone was very tough.

Chen Xuan’s expression changed!

Indeed, his current situation is entirely due to the system, but that doesn’t mean he can just let the system act recklessly.

But now!

He had absolutely no means to counteract the system and could only endure temporarily.

"System! I’m not blaming you, but if this happens a few more times, I’m afraid I’ll really be dead," Chen Xuan, who could bend and stretch, suddenly softened his tone.

The system snorted coldly, but also said, "I don’t know what’s going on with this punishment system either, it has never happened before. I will try to control it."

But the situation was too strange, and it couldn’t guarantee that it would succeed.

Trying to control...

That means there’s still a chance of losing control.

Chen Xuan’s head ached.

He gritted his teeth, "System, please try to keep it under control!"

Chen Xuan struggled to get up from the ground, trembling as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then said, "Just now, it was an accident, Qiong Yu—this time, I mean business."

That was what he said.

But Chen Xuan, shivering, didn’t dare to make a move.

The previous two instances of Thunder Punishment occurred when he was attacking Qiong Yu.

It was hard to say if this was an inevitability.

If Thunder Punishment struck again, he truly feared he would die.

"Go on, attack. I’m controlling it," urged the system, "You must defeat Qiong Yu. If you do, you will have the hope of advancing to the Immortal Venerable level."

If it could cultivate an Immortal Venerate level being for the master to absorb, it would indeed become the system most esteemed by the master.

Chen Xuan looked at the pale-faced Qiong Yu, yet he hesitated to make a move.

In his view.

Qiong Yu could be conquered gradually, but if the Thunder Punishment struck a few more times...

In any case, something felt wrong today; it might not be suitable to engage in combat.

On the other side, Qiong Yu was already nervously preparing her defenses.

Chen Xuan kept thinking, hesitating again and again.

He ignored the system’s urging in his mind and spoke softly, "Qiong Yu, this time, consider it my loss. But I’m not the least bit upset, because letting you win is my greatest joy."

Chen Xuan still wore that look of deep affection.

The audience was somewhat shocked.

Could it be that Chen Xuan ended up like this because he was letting Qiong Yu win?

He really does look like he’s seriously injured!

He’s gone too far!

To have such a deeply affectionate pursuer like Chen Xuan, isn’t Qiong Yu just too lucky?

For a moment, everyone’s gaze towards Qiong Yu was filled with envy.

They have cultivated for so long that many emotions have faded away.

Emotions like Chen Xuan’s are truly rare.

Even Qiong Yu herself was a bit stunned.

Chen Xuan got himself hurt like this just for her?

Below.

Shi Nian snorted coldly.

Then.

Ninth-Level Thunder Punishment!

Right after Chen Xuan’s affectionate words, he suddenly started convulsing, screamed out loud, collapsed on the ground, and fainted.

Everyone: "???"

Shi Nian covered her mouth and said with shock, "How did he faint? Is this also part of an act?"

Golden Light Immortal Emperor looked coldly at Shi Nian: "Young one! What are you saying!"

Shi Nian, fearless: "Wasn’t what I said indirect enough? If I have to say it straight, I think this Chen Xuan is all show and no substance, utterly useless! Where does he get the face to say he was letting my Master win? Clearly, it was my Master who used a secret technique to defeat him effortlessly! My Master, who does not show off yet can easily beat opponents, that’s what you call a true expert, understand? As for Chen Xuan’s half-hearted and sloppy act, all I can say is, it’s just embarrassing!"

"You!" Golden Light Immortal Emperor was completely infuriated, and he was about to say something else.

The Barrier of the Sky Battlefield disappeared, and the two figures from the sky landed.

Qiong Yu landed firmly on the ground.

However, Chen Xuan fell straight down, smacking heavily onto the ground!

"Disciple! Disciple!" Golden Light Immortal Emperor was alarmed and, putting his grudge against Shi Nian aside for the moment, hurriedly helped Chen Xuan up.

At this moment, Chen Xuan’s breathing was disordered, his meridians chaotic, clearly in a state of serious injury.

Golden Light Immortal Emperor looked at Emperor Qiong Yu angrily: "Qiong Yu, it was just a match. Even if you wanted to assert yourself, was there a need to harm my disciple to this extent?!"

Emperor Qiong Yu was slightly dazed, and she quickly said: "I really don’t know what happened!"

"Master, why bother being modest with him?" said Shi Nian. "After being low-profile for so long, it’s time they knew just how formidable you are, Master."

What... again?

Qiong Yu looked at Shi Nian and, for a moment, felt utterly disheartened.

Why on earth did she ever think taking a disciple was a good idea?

"Good, very good," Golden Light Immortal Emperor was completely enraged. "My disciple lacked in skill and was beaten to such a state by you; he got what he deserved. But as a Master, I cannot just watch him being bullied. Sect Master, I request to reactivate the Sky Battlefield once more! I would like to learn a thing or two from Emperor Qiong Yu!"

Qiong Yu: "..."

No, really, she is innocent!

Emperor Wan Hua’s gaze on Qiong Yu turned somewhat solemn.

With Chen Xuan getting hurt multiple times, she hadn’t been able to discern anything at all.

What does that prove?

It proves that Qiong Yu’s skills have reached an unfathomable level!

Perfect, by observing Qiong Yu’s battle with Golden Light, she could take another look.

So, without waiting for Emperor Qiong Yu to agree, Emperor Wan Hua had already said with a smile: "That sounds good. I, too, would like to see Qiong Yu’s true capabilities."

With a wave of her hand.

The Sky Battlefield opened once again.

Emperor Qiong Yu: "..."

Her fate is truly bitter.

"Master, believe in yourself, you can definitely do it," Shi Nian encouraged.

Qiong Yu felt that her fate had just become even bitterer.
