Jiang Che was a goofball, while Ye Liangchen was a show-off.
Just having escaped Brother Qiang's grasp, Ye Liangchen still felt a lingering fear, but to grow stronger... he had to keep showing off non-stop.
Now, he had rented a place and started live-streaming his show-off antics!
Last time, when he got "wrecked" during a live stream, his reputation had already turned sour, so now he always wore a mask during his broadcasts.
“Brothers, next up, I’ll show you how to smash a river stone with my bare hands!”
As he said this, Ye Liangchen held a rather sizable river stone, weighing at least twenty to thirty kilos.
River stones are among the hardest types of stones.
And his live streaming room had gathered several tens of thousands of viewers.
【Holy crap! This river stone must weigh at least a few dozen kilos, right? It’s a massive slab of stone, over ten centimeters thick... how can anyone smash it barehanded?】
【Haha, you’re new here, aren’t you? This host isn’t your average guy—he’s likely a real master, only playing for keeps. Earlier, he bent a wrench with his bare hands! That’s pretty impressive!】
【Is that for real?】
【Actually, this isn’t that hard. Once you reach the level of Dark Force, doing this kind of thing becomes quite simple.】
Ye Liangchen couldn’t help but smirk at this point.
These netizens were all a bunch of inexperienced people. His current cultivation was only at the late stage of Dark Force, but with his smooth talk and trickery, he could easily fool these netizens.
“I am a disciple from an ancient martial arts family—please don’t lump me together with those who seek attention!”
Ye Liangchen stood with his hands behind his back, signaling everyone to get out of the way... it was time for him to start showing off.
“As for Dark Force, it’s essentially a method of utilizing strength. After decades of rigorous training... martial artists have refined their control over strength to an extremely precise level.”
“For example, like this—”
As he spoke, Ye Liangchen gathered his energy and threw a punch directly at the river stone.
Thud——
The huge river stone instantly shattered into countless pieces.
And Ye Liangchen, playing it cool, added, “That punch! Took me twenty years of training! Who can stand against it?”
【Ding! Congratulations, host, for showing off in front of 50,000 viewers, earning 10 years of Internal Force!】
Hearing the system’s prompt, Ye Liangchen couldn’t help but smirk again.
Sure enough, live streaming was the perfect way to activate his ‘Ultimate Show-Off System’!
Normally, when he showed off, he’d be lucky to have a few dozen people watching, but on the internet... with live streaming, he could have tens of thousands watching him show off, and his progress in growth was absolutely terrifying.
Afterwards, Ye Liangchen started showing off again, channeling the air of a grand master.
He continued to earn more Internal Force, gradually reaching a breakthrough and entering the peak of the late stage of Dark Force!
What a triumph!
Clearly, Ye Liangchen was a true playboy, and his talent for cultivation was even worse than Jiang Che’s—he was a genuine failure.
When he got the system, his cultivation was at the late stage of Dark Force. After all that time, up and down, his cultivation process had been incredibly bumpy.
Once he reached the peak of the late stage of Dark Force, Ye Liangchen finally had a smile on his face and began to feel confident.
His show-off moves were in top form now!
“System, I love you!”
Not only could he show off and gain fame, but he could also improve his strength—plus, he got tips from his viewers. This was a huge win!
But just as Ye Liangchen was in the middle of showing off and having a great time, suddenly, the door to his rental was violently kicked open!
“Bang!!”
The door flew off its hinges!
Several figures rushed in.
“Damn it, it’s this punk! We finally caught you! Little Lin... this is the guy who messed with me!”
Clearly, the only ones Ye Liangchen had a grudge with were Brother Qiang and Lin Yu.
Both were wearing masks, bundled up tightly.
Lin Yu had a long wolf-tail hairstyle, looking quite sharp. Even though he was wearing a mask, one could still feel the sinister air he exuded.
“Who are you?”
Ye Liangchen shouted, angrily glaring at the two in front of him, but soon, he began to fear them.
He didn’t recognize Lin Yu, but he knew Brother Qiang!
It was this guy... who dragged him into that little black room. The memory of that black room... was an absolute nightmare he would never forget, even if he became a grandmaster in the future.
“What... what do you want? You’re trespassing! I’m a martial artist at the peak of the late stage of Dark Force—don’t force me to fight!”
Ye Liangchen rolled up his sleeves.
At this moment, the tens of thousands of viewers in his live stream started eating popcorn, watching the drama unfold.
【Oh? Is this a new script?】
【Haha... you know what, this host actually has some entertainment value. Even if he’s staging this with extras... it’s done pretty convincingly, I’m liking it!】
【Even though I know it’s obviously a scripted setup, I kinda really want to keep watching.】
Clearly, everyone in the live stream thought Brother Qiang and Lin Yu’s appearance was part of Ye Liangchen’s script, as many hosts would play out such scenarios.
But soon... they realized this wasn’t the case.
“What do we want? Teeheehee—”
Brother Qiang stepped forward, glaring viciously at Ye Liangchen.
“Tsk, still live-streaming? Good thing we’re wearing masks, little Lin, go and restrain him...”
Lin Yu, now under Brother Qiang’s command, didn’t say much.
“Hah, you think I’m just some ordinary martial artist at the peak of the late stage of Dark Force...?”
Before Ye Liangchen could finish, Lin Yu’s fist had already landed, smashing directly into his eye socket.
“Ah——”
Following that, Brother Qiang immediately joined in.
“You... you’re a Transform Force expert?” Ye Liangchen panicked—could this Transform Force expert be a hired thug from that bald guy?
He was only at the peak of the late stage of Dark Force right now, far from being a match for a Transform Force expert.
If you can’t win, run!
“Hmph~ Although you’re a Transform Force expert, with my strength at the peak of the late stage of Dark Force, I can escape... and you can’t stop me!”
But the very next moment!
【Ding! Host showed off badly in public, failed to show off successfully, internal force reduced by 5 years!】
【Ding! Host’s internal force insufficient, cultivation level dropped to late stage of Dark Force!
Ye Liangchen: “......”
System, I fu**ing hate you! You wretched piece of technology!
“Ahhh!!”
If Ye Liangchen had been at the peak of the late stage of Dark Force, perhaps with the protagonist's halo, he might have had a chance to escape from Lin Yu and the others.
But now? There was absolutely no hope.
“What... what do you want? I’m still live-streaming!”
Much like many games, when a female character loses, they automatically enter a special CG scene.
【Ding! Host failed to show off, with 100,000 people witnessing your humiliation, even the system is ashamed for you. Special punishment: Reduced by 5 cm, internal force reduced by 20 years!】
Ye Liangchen: “......”
He was nearly in despair. Previously, after failing his live stream show-off attempt, his cultivation level had dropped to the early stage of Dark Force. It had taken him a long time to slowly climb back up by showing off.
Now, it was all gone—he was back to square one!
His cultivation level had already dropped to the middle stage of Dark Force... and it was still declining.
lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...
