Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan!

Chapter 105: Rewards For Killing a Heaven Chosen!

Bai Zihan was on the flying ship, now more excited than ever.

His thoughts were already drifting away from the Mei Clan, which had effectively been destroyed.

After all, System rewards were waiting for him to claim.

Amidst the surprise and newfound respect from the Bai Clan elders and other disciples, he ignored them and simply stated that he needed to recuperate before heading to his room on the flying ship.

They thought it was understandable—Bai Zihan had taken a Nascent Soul-level attack head-on.

None of them dared to disturb him.

”Let’s see what I got from killing a Heaven’s Chosen!”

Bai Zihan muttered to himself.

”System!”

He immediately navigated to the reward section without any delay.

****

[Unclaimed Rewards Available]

The familiar, soothing blue light of the System interface unfolded before Bai Zihan’s eyes, a series of notifications filling his vision one after another.

System Notification:

[Congratulations on killing your First Heaven’s Chosen!]

Reward: 10,000 System Points

[Heaven’s Chosen Killed (Mo Yichen - One-Star Fate-Grade)]

Reward: 100x Cultivation Speed Card (10 Days)

Reward: Sword Intent Comprehension Crystal (Intermediate)

****

Bai Zihan’s eyes widened, his heartbeat quickening. This was far beyond what he had expected.

”10,000 System Points just for killing a Heaven’s Chosen?”

He whispered, a grin spreading across his face.

It might have felt easy considering how weak Mo Yichen seemed compared to him, but that was just his perspective.

In reality, Mo Yichen was strong. If it had been someone else at the same cultivation level, they wouldn’t have survived against him.

Facing Mo Yichen at the Golden Core Stage was like asking to be killed—practically playing with death.

So, 10,000 points was an okay amount, especially for the first time killing a Heaven’s Chosen. And there were still many other rewards waiting.

”And a 100x Cultivation Speed Card? This is the first time I’ve gotten a 100x Cultivation Speed Card.”

Even the 10x Cultivation Speed Card was insanely good for increasing cultivation speed. Who knew how high his cultivation would soar with the 100x version?

But Bai Zihan knew it was too precious to use recklessly. He would save it for the right opportunity.

But what truly caught his eye was the Sword Intent Comprehension Crystal.

”Sword Intent Comprehension Crystal...”

Bai Zihan muttered, tapping the notification.

Sword Intent Comprehension Crystal (Intermediate)

A rare crystal that directly grants a cultivator insight into Sword Intent.

Absorbing this crystal will allow you to achieve Intermediate Sword Intent directly, greatly enhancing your mastery of sword techniques.

Sword Intent!

The very concept of Sword Intent was a realm of understanding that even most Immortal cultivators struggled to achieve.

It was more than just swinging a sword—it was about understanding the sword’s essence, imposing one’s will through it.

Without talent, luck, and relentless dedication, it was nearly impossible to even achieve the Basic Level of Sword Intent.

It was said that one needed to devote everything to the sword for ten years just to achieve the Basic Level of Sword Intent, and a single distraction could ruin that effort.

For Intermediate Sword Intent, at least a hundred years of practice with the sword and extraordinary luck were necessary.

In the Desolate Heaven Empire, those who achieved Intermediate Sword Intent were all recorded in history as some of the strongest of their era.

And now, that same Sword Intent was within his reach.

”Intermediate Sword Intent... Haha! With this, wouldn’t I be invincible?”

Bai Zihan chuckled, his eyes shining with excitement.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that if he had Sword Intent, he would be invincible within his cultivation realm—perhaps even capable of challenging those with higher cultivation levels, just like the so-called ”protagonists.”

(Should I use it immediately?)

Bai Zihan thought, feeling a mix of greed and impatience.

He didn’t know what would happen if he used the Sword Comprehension Crystal right now.

Would he need time to process it, or would he instantly gain Sword Intent?

Logically, waiting until he returned to the Bai Clan would be the safest option. But logic was drowned out by his hunger for power.

Without a second thought, he gripped the crystal in his hand and crushed it.

A blinding silver light enveloped his body, and his mind was instantly flooded with an overwhelming sensation—countless sword techniques, concepts of sharpness, weight, speed, and an endless sense of clarity regarding the sword.

Every time he had wielded a sword—every strike, every parry, every cut—replayed in his mind.

But now, they were refined, perfected, enhanced with an ethereal aura.

His breath grew sharp, his aura subtly shifting, a faint silver sheen radiating from his body.

Sword Intent.

It wasn’t just something he understood—it was something he was.

Suddenly, a terrifying surge of pressure erupted from his room, and the entire flying ship shuddered violently.

RUMBLE!

”W-What’s going on?!”

One of the Bai Clan disciples outside Bai Zihan’s room shouted, gripping the wall to steady himself.

”Is the ship under attack?!”

Another yelled, panic clear in his voice.

”Elders, what is happening?”

The disciples looked desperately at the elders for guidance, fear in their eyes.

But even the elders seemed alarmed. A powerful, suffocating pressure washed over them, making the air feel sharp, as if invisible blades were dancing around.

”Calm down!” barked Grand Elder Bai Ren, his voice calm but commanding.

He was the first to sense the disturbance’s origin, and his eyes narrowed as he focused on Bai Zihan’s room.

His instincts screamed that this was something extraordinary, but not necessarily dangerous.

”Grand Elder, what is going on? Is someone attacking us?”

Another elder asked, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

”Impossible! No one has attacked us... No one is even on board except for us.”

”Then what is this pressure? This... this feels like someone of Immortal Realm, but how could—”

One of the elders gasped.

”Wait... it’s coming from Bai Zihan’s room? Is someone coming to assassinate Bai Zihan?”

One of the elders asked, panic evident in his voice. Normally, he wouldn’t have been this anxious, but after witnessing just how powerful and talented their heir was, they knew they couldn’t afford to take any chances with his life.

”He’s not in danger.”

Bai Ren’s expression was unreadable, but a trace of shock flickered in his eyes.

”In fact... it seems he has encountered a remarkable opportunity.”

”A remarkable opportunity? What kind of opportunity could cause this?”

”You don’t need to know for now... but whatever it is, it is a blessing for our Bai Clan,” Bai Ren replied.

”No one is to disturb him. Understood?”

The elders nodded, still uneasy but trusting the Grand Elder’s judgment.

”Someone guard the room. If he leaves his room, inform me immediately!”
