Actually, in Xu Mu’s heart, Jiang Huihui still ranked a level below Meng Wanyue, Dai Xingluo, and the others.
But thinking about it carefully, the only reason was that the two of them had never faced death together.
Xu Mu could also roughly guess that Jiang Huihui was not someone who feared death.
If they truly found themselves in such a situation, she would definitely accompany him all the way to the end.
After all, her filial piety value toward him had already reached Level Eight.
Jiang Huihui sat by the bed, gazing at Xu Mu’s sleeping face.
Although she reached out, she did not touch him.
She still felt embarrassed. No matter how one looked at it, she and Xu Mu did not yet have a real relationship.
She felt that her top priority now was to become stronger as quickly as possible, then fight alongside Xu Mu.
That would be more beneficial to their future together.
Thinking this, Jiang Huihui took her own blanket and draped it over Xu Mu.
Looking down at Xu Mu’s profile, she once again summoned her courage and reached out to touch his cheek.
[Favorability +10]
As soon as the favorability notification appeared above her head, she immediately withdrew her hand. Her face flushed, and she hurried out of the room before closing the door behind her.
Xu Mu opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his face.
He had never expected Jiang Huihui to be such an innocent young girl.
After working up all that courage, all she had done was touch his face.
She really was rather adorable.
Xu Mu opened the system. Since he had nothing else to do, he might as well use up all the Heavenly Mandate Power he had obtained.
So many people had provided him with Heavenly Mandate Power the previous night, and then Ye Tong had doubled the amount.
Adding that to what he had accumulated in the Inner Realm, along with the power Jiang Huihui had provided today, Xu Mu now had enough for nine consecutive ten-pulls.
He immediately began drawing.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 30 cultivation points.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 20 attribute points.]
…
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 30 cultivation points.]
The first ten-pull consisted entirely of consolation rewards. Xu Mu immediately began the second round.
…
…
Xu Mu had not expected the second and third rounds to consist entirely of consolation rewards as well.
Could it be because this was his first time drawing in this place?
He immediately began the fourth round. This time, something good finally appeared.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained Space.]
Xu Mu knew that his storage space had evolved into Space after being upgraded. It could now contain living beings.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a Seventh-Grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure Gift Box.]
The fourth round yielded two items, while the remaining rewards were all consolation prizes.
Xu Mu continued with the fifth round.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the God-Tier Technique, Void Afterimage Sword—Final Form.]
“What the hell?”
Xu Mu had not expected to receive a god-tier technique right at the beginning of the fifth round.
Having fought his way this far and made so many draws, he had only obtained two god-tier techniques in total.
One was the Void Afterimage Sword, and the other was the Final Spark.
However, the Void Afterimage Sword was extremely unusual. Unlike the Final Spark, which was simply a single skill, it was divided into three stages.
According to common sense, the Void Afterimage Sword’s grade was definitely higher than that of the Final Spark.
He planned to examine it later and see what made this Final Form different.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 30 cultivation points.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained Space.]
…
After the fifth round ended, Xu Mu immediately began the sixth. Once again, everything was a consolation reward.
Next, he completed the seventh, eighth, and ninth rounds in succession.
The remaining draws did not contain anything particularly valuable. Apart from several Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure Gift Boxes, there were also two Earth-Grade mental cultivation methods.
After finishing the draws, Xu Mu first inspected the god-tier technique he had obtained.
Once he had finished examining it, Xu Mu was left utterly dumbfounded.
“Holy crap!”
He could not help clenching his fists. This was far too powerful.
It seemed he had been right. This god-tier technique was indeed superior to the Final Spark.
Of course, Xu Mu was referring to its ability to break through the rules, not its attack power.
As an offensive technique used against an enemy, the Void Afterimage Sword was definitely inferior to the Final Spark.
But when it came to the rules, the Void Afterimage Sword was far more powerful.
The Final Form was called Void-Reality Reversion.
Just hearing the name was enough to give one a rough idea of what the technique could do.
After using the technique, a “Void” mark would appear behind Xu Mu.
This mark could not be affected by anything. However, once he suffered an injury, he could cause his physical body to return to the mark behind him.
Put simply, after using this technique, Xu Mu’s body could revert to how it had been a few seconds earlier.
For example, when Xiao Gui had ambushed him previously, if Xu Mu had known this technique, he could have completely reverted himself to a few seconds before the attack. In that case, he would never have been injured.
In other words, from now on, any injury Xu Mu suffered would be unable to threaten him—as long as he was not killed instantly.
This was a technique that touched upon the Laws of Time.
Xu Mu rose from the bed and used Void-Reality Reversion.
A tiny dot, almost impossible to see with the naked eye, appeared behind him.
The dot was only about the size of a thumbnail. Because it belonged to the “Void” aspect, it was impossible to notice without looking carefully.
Only by observing closely could one see a slight distortion in that small patch of space.
Xu Mu began walking, and the dot behind him followed him the entire time.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Mu took out a dagger.
As someone who cherished his body, he certainly was not going to cut himself just to test the technique. Instead, he used the dagger to cut off a small lock of hair before activating the technique.
Whoosh!
Xu Mu’s body transformed into black energy, twisting as it dispersed. At nearly the same moment, the tiny dot behind him began twisting as well, turning into black energy and reforming into Xu Mu’s figure.
He touched the hair over his forehead.
As expected, it had returned to its original state.
“This is incredible!”
Xu Mu was stunned inside.
Now that he had mastered this technique, he no longer had to fear mutual destruction in battle.
He could even injure an enemy by eight hundred while suffering five thousand points of damage himself, then use Void-Reality Reversion afterward.
He would return to his original state, while the eight hundred points of damage inflicted on his enemy could not be restored.
If there was one flaw, it was probably that the technique consumed a massive amount of qi.
After recovering from his shock, Xu Mu added all the points he had obtained this time.
There had been a great many consolation rewards.
Feeling his physique and strength grow more powerful, Xu Mu immediately opened his status panel to take a look.
Name: Xu Mu
Character: Villain Saint Physique, President of the Xu Group
Realm: Mid Transcendent Stage
Physique: 4,100
Spirit: 4,100
Cultivation Value: 2,730 (Maximum: 3,200)
Heavenly Mandate Power: 5,492
Seeing the data on the panel, Xu Mu could not help smiling.
Both his physique and spirit had surpassed four thousand, and he only needed a few more ten-pulls’ worth of cultivation value to advance to the next realm.
Most importantly, he had obtained such a powerful god-tier technique.
This round of draws had truly been worthwhile.
Just then, Xu Mu’s phone began vibrating.
He took it out and glanced at the screen. It was a call from Dantai Quan.
He immediately answered.
“Didn’t I say I had something to do today? Why are you in such a hurry?”
“It really is urgent. I just received word that something has happened in the Inner Realm. I may be gone for several days this time, and I might not even be able to return.”
Dantai Quan’s voice was anxious as he spoke from the other end.
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.

s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!
