One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

With an overpowered set of trait tag effects, numerous immortal artifacts, martial arts ranging from Transcendent Mastery to Pinnacle,

and even a Dragon-Scale Horse—natural enemy of the Dragon-Man tribe—assisting at his side,

for a moment Jin Fei Jin really couldn’t deal with you.

Because of the Irritable Constitution trait, your anger meter stayed sky-high when facing Jin Fei Jin, so the Green Giant trait remained active.

Your reason dropped to the minimum threshold for the Green Giant, turning you into a battle-crazed fiend, fighting Jin Fei Jin with reckless abandon.

At that moment you heard Wang Mingbai’s voice.

But you didn’t react.

Your reason was too low to make normal judgments, you only knew the fight felt amazing.

You saw Wang Mingbai, wearing the Lightning-Chasing, Thunder-Racing Boots and temporarily able to fly, approach where you and Jin Fei Jin were fighting. Suddenly he opened his Storage Ring and scattered an enormous amount of Spirit Crystals!

The crystals filled the sky, but none fell; under the influence of Wang Mingbai’s martial art, they hovered in midair.When you saw the Spirit Crystals your eyes lit up. While still fighting you casually pocketed them, stuffing them into your Storage Ring with cool, greedy motions.

That was all because your reason had dropped; normally you would have focused entirely on the fight.

”Ling Morning Divine Skill, Ling Sever Formation!”

Whenever a technique has ”Divine Skill” in its name, it’s usually Heaven-Grade.

This had to be the Wang family’s mightiest technique.

The moment the technique activated, countless Spirit Crystals around exploded into streams of energy, which, guided by Wang Mingbai’s skill, began to flow along a precise trajectory.

In the sky seemed to grow a huge willow tree composed of streaks of luminous energy, dreamlike and gorgeous.

Something miraculous happened.

When you and Jin Fei Jin were covered by the willow’s hanging branches, both of your techniques stopped functioning; only your physical strength remained.

You couldn’t release Shattering Star Ripple Finger.

Jin Fei Jin’s void body technique also failed.

”Brother Chen! Use the formula I taught you to operate your technique!”

Though you had little reason left, you still had intelligence.

Hearing Wang Mingbai’s chanting, you followed it; your technique resumed functioning normally.

Jin Fei Jin heard it too.

But he couldn’t understand it.

He hadn’t learned the human language yet.

The balance of offense and defense shifted from that point.

Your physical strength was already exaggerated thanks to the trait tag.

Now you could use your technique while Jin Fei Jin could not; you had more treasures than him, and Black Wind kept applying debuffs to suppress his cultivation—so the outcome was predictable.

”Ah Xita!!”

You went in close and unleashed your ultimate; the Shattering Star Ripple Finger pierced through Jin Fei Jin’s eye socket and detonated out of the back of his skull!

Jin Fei Jin countered with a sweep of golden blades; you absorbed the blow with your body and forcibly snatched one of the golden knives away.

”All the treasures are mine!! Roar!!”

Don’t worry—this was just because your reason was reduced; your normal self wouldn’t act like this.

You chased Jin Fei Jin, hacking wildly with his golden knife, shouting for him to hand over the other blade as well.

Those assisting the Qiankun Mirror in opening a space—Wu Yue and the others—were stunned into silence by your actions.

”If I recall correctly, Brother Chen is Spirit Condensation Realm, and this Dragon-Man is Martial Saint Realm?”

”Yes... but I remember something even crazier—Brother Chen claimed he has High-Grade Bone Structure, do you all recall?”

”You might as well believe he has High-Grade Bone Structure as believe I am the Free and Unfettered God.”

As the few of them spoke, suddenly a smell of burning wafted through the air.

”What is that smell?”

They turned and saw the Qiankun Mirror emitting smoke!

”Holy—Qiankun Mirror, are you alright?!”

The mirror’s voice sounded delirious.

”It’s open! It’s open! Who said this old man couldn’t open a spatial barrier?! I told you I could!! Hahaha! Hahaha! Ah!! Gah...”

All the Qiankun Mirror’s composure vanished; it smoked and collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, a spatial vortex appeared in midair.

The vortex rapidly opened, but it was already being squeezed by the surrounding normal space and threatening to close.

”Brother Chen! The passage is open! Go now!!”

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner knew you well and understood you wouldn’t listen to reason in this state.

So it wrapped you in its banner face and dragged you toward the vortex.

”Move your ass, ancestor!! You’re covered in treasures and still want more—greedy bastard!!”

Black Wind covered you from behind, clamping down on Jin Fei Jin’s tail with a deathlike grip.

”Hurry, boss, go!”

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner praised.

”Good horse! Boss will remember you!”

Black Wind made no complaint; it poured every ounce of strength into burning towering black flames and suppressed Jin Fei Jin with all its might.

After all, Jin Fei Jin was Martial Saint level.

Without your interference, he struck through the air with a palm of raw force, producing a storm that knocked Wang Mingbai out of the sky.

Once his technique could function properly, he elbowed Black Wind with a painful strike and knocked it out of the air as well.

At that critical moment, the Demon Refining Pot flew out from your body.

”I’ll absorb!”

The Demon Refining Pot sucked Wang Mingbai and Black Wind in one after the other.

”Slipped away, slipped away...”

Then it hurriedly shrank back onto you.

”Where do you think you’re going!!”

Jin Fei Jin charged again. His eyes blazed with keen light, his aura surged several times over, and dangerous low roars rolled from his throat; heaven and earth seemed to change color.

His golden blade tore the sky, cleaving Starfish Island in two and parting the surrounding sea for hundreds of miles!

The Nine Provinces Cauldron enlarged, positioning itself in front of the vortex to absorb much of the damage for you.

But the spreading shockwave still killed several people.

When you regained your reason, you were already inside the Cauldron Realm.

Beside you were only Wu Yue, Baili Su, Long Yang, and eight or nine others, along with Black Wind and various immortal artifacts—and Wang Mingbai lying on the ground.

”We escaped?”

Wu Yue explained the situation to you.

”The Qiankun Mirror managed to open space, but it seems to have been grievously damaged; the Ten Thousand Souls Banner put it into the Star Source—maybe it can be saved there.

Only a few of us escaped; the others were killed by Jin Fei Jin.

As for Wang Mingbai...”

You stood and finally saw that Wang Mingbai’s hair had turned completely white.

You recalled the earlier battle and the technique Wang Mingbai had used.

”Brother Wang, that technique...”

”I lacked the realm to use it; forcing it shortened my life...”

You didn’t know what to say.

Under those circumstances, had Wang Mingbai not stood up to buy some time, if Jin Fei Jin had seized the chance he would have interfered with the Qiankun Mirror’s space.

At that point you all would have been annihilated; even the few of you now wouldn’t have escaped.

Wang Mingbai handed you his Storage Ring.

”Brother Chen, there’s not much left inside, but there’s a letter I wrote some time ago. Please deliver it to the Wang family and give it to my father.

Tell him that his son was not merely a playboy who chased pleasures and indulgence.

Wang Mingbai fought a Martial Saint of an alien race and fell gloriously—fighting for friends and for the one he loved. He did not disgrace his family, nor did he disgrace the human race...”
