"Grandmaster?"
Who had broken through to the Grandmaster level?
That wisp of pressure just now couldn’t have been mistaken. It even instilled fear in her, a mid-level Transform Force expert.
But after much deliberation, a petite silver figure flashed through her mind.
"Is it her? That girl named Dong'er?"
Chen Ningshuang's mood instantly sank to the bottom.
She never expected that girl to become a Grandmaster.
"How is this possible? How could she have advanced so quickly? How did she break through?"
She had thought Dong'er's talent was terrifying enough—a Transform Force expert at such a young age, a level of talent that even made her feel inferior.
But now... she was just scared. A Grandmaster at such a young age?
In the thousands of years of ancient martial arts history in Dragon Country, how many could match this?
Becoming a Grandmaster wasn’t just about talent; it required profound martial insights.
She couldn’t fathom how terrifying a Grandmaster at such a young age could be.
Would she break through to the Great Grandmaster level in a few years?
For a prodigy like her, comprehending the Martial Domain shouldn’t be difficult, right?
Could she even glimpse realms beyond the Heavenly Force?
Chen Ningshuang felt a chill run through her body. She had thought the Jiang family's greatest trump card was Jiang Yunhuang, the Heavenly Force Great Grandmaster.
But now... she realized how wrong she was.
The truly terrifying trump card of the Jiang family was that girl named Dong'er.
"No... I need to see for myself!"
With that thought, the girl tiptoed toward Jiang Che's bedroom.
As luck would have it, she ran into a fellow "enthusiast."
"You—" Bai Jie narrowed her eyes. She had been eavesdropping at the door for hours.
"Hah... so you’re just as fake and pretentious as the rest. You’re here to spy on Brother Jiang Che too, aren’t you?"
Bai Jie smirked, clearly misunderstanding the situation.
Chen Ningshuang: "..."
Well, this was awkward.
......
Meanwhile, in the ancient martial Ye family.
"Family Head... something’s happened to the young master!"
An old man rushed into the room, stumbling and nearly falling.
"What is it?" A middle-aged man slowly stood up, his brow furrowed.
"Family Head, Young Master Liangchen... he’s been beaten up!"
With that, he handed over his phone to Ye Jing.
"Beaten up? Who dares lay a hand on my son?"
Ye Jing took the phone, but his face twitched uncontrollably when he saw the footage.
It was a live stream of Ye Liangchen.
A few minutes later...
Ye Jing was so furious he nearly threw the phone.
"That disgrace! How could I have such a foolish son?"
The old steward sobbed, "Family Head, you don’t understand... the other families are laughing at us, saying Young Master Liangchen has gone mad and become a clown. Our Ye family is becoming a laughingstock."
Ye Jing slammed the table.
"Where is that brat? Bring him back at once! He’s embarrassing us!"
In this day and age, it wasn’t uncommon for ancient martial artists to go live. In fact, the "ancient martial artist" label often attracted viewers.
But those who did it usually maintained an air of dignity and prestige.
And then there was Ye Liangchen... performing chest-breaking stunts like a circus act?
Not only that, but he’d been humiliated—a wooden pole had been thrust straight into his... well, it looked painful.
And to showcase his Iron Shirt technique, he let someone kick him... there?
Didn’t he know how his own father had been crippled?
Ye Jing felt a phantom pain in his own groin.
"Bring that disgrace back immediately! I’ll deal with him myself!"
"Yes, Family Head!"
......
What the Ye family didn’t know was that their shameful young master had already been locked in a dark room.
His future was looking bleak.
"You... stay away from me! Get the hell away!"
Ye Liangchen was tied hand and foot to a tiger bench, looking utterly pitiful.
He kept wailing in despair.
In front of him stood only Brother Qiang, who held a small whip in his hand, a sinister smile on his face.
"Be good, let me take a look."
Ye Liangchen struggled in terror, "Get away from me! Don’t touch me, you pervert!"
Brother Qiang sighed. He’d been feeling lonely lately. His beloved Xiao Lin had gone to Thailand for gender reassignment surgery. Given their unbreakable bond, he wanted to be there for her, but he had to stay in Hangcheng to oversee things.
Still, this Ye Liangchen wasn’t a bad substitute.
"Look at you, your butt’s bleeding. I feel so bad for you."
Ye Liangchen: "..."
[Ding! Host has successfully played the role of a pitiful victim. Reward: 10 days of internal energy.]
Ye Liangchen couldn’t hold back, "Screw you and your pity! You’re the pitiful one, you and your whole damn family!"
"Ah—"
A piercing scream echoed as Ye Liangchen blacked out.
...
"Congratulations, the surgery was a success. You’re now a girl."
A nurse stood by Lin Yu’s bedside, smiling as she delivered the news.
Lin Yu, lying on the hospital bed, furrowed her brows. She felt like she’d heard those words before.
Oh, right... back at the hospital when one of her testicles had been crushed. But that didn’t matter anymore... she was now a woman.
One misstep led to eternal regret; looking back, she was now a daughter.
"Hah... time flies. In just half a year, I’ve gone from being a man to a woman."
Lin Yu’s lips curled into a self-mocking smile.
After following Brother Qiang, she’d done a lot of thinking. Who was really to blame for her current state?
It had to be Jiang Che. Even now, she harbored intense hatred toward him.
But... was it really all his fault?
Lin Yu lowered her head, clenching her fist slightly. A powerful surge of internal energy flowed through her, so intense that it seeped out through her meridians.
Internal energy externalization—Transform Force level!
That’s right!
Ever since losing one of her testicles, her cultivation speed had skyrocketed. And after the gender reassignment surgery... she’d broken through her bottleneck, reaching the Transform Force level.
That thing had been like an obstacle, clogging her meridians.
Now that it was gone, her internal energy flowed smoothly, and her cultivation speed had more than tripled.
As for whether she’d seek revenge on Jiang Che...
She was tired. She didn’t want revenge anymore. She just wanted to live a peaceful life with Brother Qiang.
Despite her hatred for Jiang Che, Brother Qiang was Jiang Che’s subordinate. If she turned against Jiang Che, Brother Qiang might be caught in the middle.
Soon after, Lin Yu received a call from Brother Qiang.
"Xiao Lin, I heard your surgery went well?"
"Brother Jiang is so generous. He sent me another top-tier gift. Let me tell you... this one’s supposedly a young master from an ancient martial family."
Lin Yu’s eyes narrowed. This felt eerily similar to her own experience...
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
iving with nine beautiful women. [Ding! Welcome back to the Joyous Sect, Host…] Lin Yu: ??? I’m clearly in a shared rental, but you’re saying I’m in the Joyous Sect? Watering plants is now [Tending to Spiritual Flora]? Cooking becomes [Researching Elixirs]? Making the bed turns into [Setting Up Formations]? A gentle and innocent auntie, twin classmates, a mysterious hacker girl on leave, a severely socially anxious artist, an elementary school Chinese teacher, a community hospital nurse, a pet shop owner, an antique clock restorer… This system… is kinda interesting.
