"You're actually still alive?! You son of a... I should have known, how could someone as badass as you be harvested by the Upper Gods!"
His tone was filled with boundless shock.
But just as those words left his mouth.
Lynn waved his hand, instantly freezing the surrounding space and isolating everything around them.
"Keep your voice down!" Lynn frowned and said, "I knew it was you, you flat-maned lion. Why are you roaring so loudly? If my master hears this, shouldn't I beat you to death?"
But what Lynn didn't know was...
In that instant just now, Nanako had already clearly heard the Sacred Sovereign's words.
Her whole body trembled.
No way!!
Her disciple actually knew the Sacred Sovereign?
Then Lynn's inner thoughts echoed in her mind.
[Damn, no wonder it felt so familiar when I first entered here, so it's this stupid cat...]
[This guy didn't die either, truly shameless. So he survived by voluntarily offering ninety percent of his essence to the Upper Gods?]
[This foolish cat, does he really think those gods are good? They spared his life just to harvest him again later, being used like a leek and not even knowing it! What an idiot!]
[But he does have some skills. If I hadn't entered this place, I wouldn't have been able to sense that he was so close to me...]
[I'm wondering if I should devour it... This stupid cat seems to have accumulated quite a bit of essence... hehehe]
Nanako: "(ΩДΩ)!!"
Listening to her disciple's inner mumblings.
Nanako was instantly shocked.
My goodness!
Not only did her disciple know the Sacred Sovereign, but he seemed to be even more powerful than the Sacred Sovereign!
De... devouring the Sacred Sovereign??
Are we sure he's not a demon?!
She tried hard to turn her head but couldn't, as if the surrounding space was locked.
This wasn't something the Sacred Sovereign would do, could it be her disciple?!
That's impossible!!
...
Several minutes later, no one heard what they discussed during these few minutes.
In the hall.
Lynn stared with dead fish eyes at the pitiful flat-maned lion before him and said:
"I'll spare you this time, but remember, don't tell anyone about me laying low here. Since I know you're still alive, you should know I have the power to end you!"
The Sacred Sovereign crouched submissively on the ground and said:
"Don't worry... my lips are sealed... I also know the Upper Gods aren't good beings. That's why I've been hiding here all these years, accumulating power to settle old scores, meow~~"
Lynn immediately said impatiently: "You're a lion, why are you meowing?"
The Sacred Sovereign complained pitifully: "Isn't this what you forced me to learn back then? You'd beat me if I didn't..."
Lynn: "..."
Lynn rubbed his temples, glanced at his loli master who was frozen not far away, and said with dead fish eyes:
"Alright, that's enough talk for now. Give me some random blessing so I can fool my master, then move away quickly. Two tigers can't share the same mountain - us being so close makes too big a target."
The Sacred Sovereign muttered: "But I was here first..."
Lynn: "Hmm?"
The Sacred Sovereign immediately shook his head like a rattle drum and said: "No... nothing, you're the big brother, whatever you say. I'll move right away..."
Then he reluctantly reached out his paw, plucked some fur from his body, and muttered:
"Still as domineering as thousands of years ago..."
Then he blew the fur toward Lynn.
Instantly.
The floating fur transformed into countless points of light, merging into Lynn's body.
[Ding! You have received the Ancient Sacred Spirit's blessing. Your Holy Affinity has increased by 10,000 points!]
Lynn sneezed, waved away the surrounding light points, and said with annoyance:
"I was wondering why there was so much holy power here. You're shedding so badly, what kind of hiding is this? Just pluck all your fur off when no one's looking, it's not embarrassing!"
The Sacred Sovereign stubbornly said: "No way, I can listen to you about everything else, but my fur is where I draw the line!"
"..."
...
Half an hour later.
Twin-tailed Nanako walked out of the Sacred Veil carrying books.
She gave a strange and complex look at Lynn, who was following behind, whistling while holding his head.
"Disciple, what exactly happened just now? Why did I suddenly become unable to move or hear anything over there?"
Hearing this, Lynn smiled and explained, his eyes gleaming with reverence:
"It was done by the great Sacred Sovereign. Because bestowing a blessing requires an absolutely sealed environment, he temporarily isolated the outside world."
Nanako asked doubtfully: "Is that really what happened?"
Lynn moved his body a bit in front of Nanako and said reverently:
"Yes! The great Sacred Sovereign bestowed upon me the blessing of the sacred spirit. I feel much lighter now. He truly is an incredibly great being!"
Lynn's face showed a reverent and devout expression, his eyes filled with genuine praise.
Just like a believer who had witnessed a divine miracle, that look of admiration was displayed perfectly.
[What else could have happened? That stupid cat got his fur all over my mouth. I've told him to pluck himself clean, but he just won't listen!]
[Sacred Sovereign... that only fools ordinary people. Times really have changed, even pets can reach the heavens now!]
[But I wonder if my loli master noticed anything?]
[She shouldn't have, I hid it so well, plus I'm so handsome...]
Nanako: "????"
So...
How can he speak such devout and praising words while thinking such messy thoughts?!
Let's not even mention the inexplicable confidence and narcissism...
Why are you calling the great Sacred Sovereign a stupid cat?!
So what exactly is my disciple's identity? The more I dig, the stranger it gets!
...
Half an hour later, back at their residence.
Nanako immediately picked up her quill, opened her diary, and quickly wrote down several lines.
1. Disciple is suspicious. (Confirmed)
2. Disciple is hiding his power, claiming 1/500 million of his power is second-rank mage? (Doubtful, needs investigation.)
3. Disciple's identity is extraordinary, suspected to have lived over a thousand years and bullied the Sacred Sovereign? (80% certain)
4. Disciple is a super narcissist + mysteriously confident, loves to mock his master in his mind!!! (Confirmed!!!)
5. Disciple is not possessed by evil spirits, nor is he a demon projection. (Confirmed) But possibility of other higher-ranked beings not ruled out. (Uncertain)
6. Must beat up disciple. (Added to schedule)
...
And just several hours later.
A terrifying holy aura suddenly erupted in the sky above the usually peaceful Winter Spring Valley.
Nanako rushed out of her mage tower almost immediately, and when she saw that scene in the sky, her eyes instantly revealed shocked expressions.
"This is..."
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
