Xu Rong was completely stunned.
The guy who could phase through walls and burrow underground was someone he recognized—a frequent offender who used his supernatural abilities to sneak into women's bathrooms and bathhouses.
Though only an E-rank superhuman, he had left quite an impression on everyone in the Transcendents' Association.
"Chen Hao, the Dragon Nation has developed an Internal Energy Suppression Device capable of sealing the abilities of superhumans below A-rank. It also exerts significant pressure on ancient martial artists. Your strength must be affected too, right? Be careful when handling missions..."
"Return to headquarters immediately. We need to discuss relocating our base to the Ancient Martial World—where the device’s effects won’t reach..."
Chen Hao scratched his head in confusion.
Internal Energy Suppression Device? It could suppress ancient martial artists?
Why hadn’t he felt anything at all?
At his current early-stage Grandmaster level, he should’ve noticed something!
But for now, Chen Hao kept his thoughts to himself.
After hanging up, he searched online and was instantly shocked.
"So that’s why Ji Bochang got stuck in the wall—the device nullified his phasing ability, leading to such a gruesome death."
"What a shame, Ji Bochang... Your luck really ran out, huh~"
Chen Hao glanced at Ji Bochang’s corpse—his upper half wedged tightly into the wall, leaving only his waist and legs exposed.
If it had been a pretty girl, it might’ve been a prime opportunity to take advantage. But alas... it was just some dude.
And a dead one at that.
"Wait, why am I unaffected?"
Chen Hao muttered to himself, growing increasingly excited.
Could he be the legendary Chosen One?
Yes, he must be the pinnacle of fate itself! Why else would he be the only one untouched while other "Children of Destiny" suffered?
Plus, his "Scam God System" even allowed him to exploit the luck of other chosen ones. Did that mean... his status was far higher than he thought?
[Ding! It’s just a little perk from your system. Host, stay low-key for now. While the Transcendents' Association is weakened, you can scam them to your heart’s content.]
The system’s voice echoed in Chen Hao’s ears, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Dad, you’re truly my real dad!"
Chen Hao’s gaze shifted craftily before a smirk curled on his lips. "If I’m unaffected... doesn’t that mean Jiang Che’s power is also crippled now?"
The mere thought sent his grin spiraling out of control. "Hahaha... Jiang Che, you bastard, how does it feel to have the tables turned?"
His mood soared.
Now, he could finally reclaim all the dignity he’d lost in front of Jiang Che!
Not that he planned to defeat him outright—just forcing Jiang Che to bow and apologize would be enough.
......
Meanwhile, near a sewer in Hangcheng’s urban district—
Clang!
A manhole cover was pushed aside.
A disheveled young man poked his head out.
Rain poured heavily, pelting his face as he emerged.
"Finally! I’m free!"
Ye Qing spread his arms wide, trembling with euphoria. His shouts soon dissolved into choked sobs—tears of overwhelming relief.
No one could fathom the horrors he’d endured in just over a week.
It was... a living nightmare!
A peak Grandmaster, trained by 18 supreme masters, a transcendent from beyond the Gate—he was supposed to be invincible. Yet he’d ended up... overwhelmed by burly men.
"This grudge... I’ll remember it."
Ye Qing gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with uncontainable fury.
If not for the sudden weakening of ancient martial artists’ internal energy—which let him seize the chance to steal a key, break his chains, and escape—he might’ve been trapped forever, enduring humiliation.
"Jiang Che! The Jiang Family of the capital! I swear, I’ll make you pay!"
His voice was hoarse, a clear testament to the torment he’d suffered.
......
"Hm? Ye Qing escaped? Noted."
Jiang Che received the call from Brother Qiang shortly after Ye Qing’s "jailbreak."
Little did Ye Qing know, the men who’d abducted and violated him were Jiang Che’s subordinates.
Jiang Che wasn’t particularly concerned.
Ye Qing was already under his thumb. After Brother Qiang’s "hospitality," the Shattering Heaven-stage puppet tailing Ye Qing had not only stayed close but also secretly recorded compromising footage of his ordeal.
If leaked, Ye Qing’s reputation would be obliterated!
And since Jiang Che had a knack for "helping" others, he’d instructed Monkey to release the videos with a fitting caption:
[The Most Tragic Grandmaster in History? Neutralized by the "Mortal Equality Device," Then Violated?]
Admittedly, he had a talent for catchy titles.
Coincidentally, the Dragon Nation’s new policies had recently pushed "ancient martial artists" into the spotlight.
Ye Qing went viral overnight!
As for doubts about his Grandmaster status?
Impossible. He was already on the wanted list, with a staggering 21-million bounty!
Now, his infamy spread like wildfire across gossip forums.
"Damn, is this for real? Did this Grandmaster piss someone off? How else could he end up like this?"
"Suddenly, Grandmasters don’t seem so untouchable anymore. Kudos to the ‘Mortal Equality Device’—no more privileges for martial artists!"
"Though... this Grandmaster’s kinda handsome. Lowkey tempted."
"Uh, sis... you’re thirsty—wait, you’re a dude???"
......
Ye Qing was shell-shocked. "You monsters! Ruining my name with these recordings!"
Seeing his humiliation spread online, he finally snapped.
"My face is ruined. I can’t show it anymore."
Gritting his teeth, he pulled out a lifelike mask from his pocket. With a few adjustments, it morphed into a flawless disguise.
Then, he pressed it onto his face—instantly transforming his features into...
Jiang Che’s.
Ye Qing’s mastery of disguise was impeccable. The resemblance was uncanny.
A wicked excitement surged through him. With Jiang Che’s face, he could wreak havoc, tarnish his name, and—best of all—defile every beautiful woman around him.
After the torment he’d suffered, this was the perfect revenge!
"Heh, Jiang Che... since you ruined me, you won’t mind if I borrow your face for some mischief, right?"
"Keh keh keh—"
But just as his glee peaked, a ghostly voice whispered behind him.
"Sorry, our young master minds."
Ye Qing: "!!!"
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!"
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
