312: Do you believe in fate? (Two in one)

“Going to die??”

Lin Yang looked at the man in confusion.

What kind of talk was that?

“That’s right, I’m going to die.” The man repeated seriously.

“This… what’s going on?” Lin Yang was a bit bewildered.

He just woke up and said he was going to die?

The man looked at him, a half-smile on his face, and said, “Do you think your people woke me up?”

“Uh… isn’t that so?” Lin Yang blinked.

“Let me tell you a story.” The man didn’t answer, but said this instead.

Lin Yang was slightly startled.

Tell a story?

Tell a story at this time?

You’re about to die, why aren’t you thinking about saving yourself? What story are you telling now?

“What? Don’t want to hear it?” The man tilted his head slightly.

“No, although I don’t know what you mean, or why you say you’re going to die, if it’s truly so, then we should hurry and try to rescue you.” Lin Yang spoke his inner thoughts.

“Haha, rescue?” The man burst into laughter, as if he had heard some joke.

He laughed for about half a minute before slowly stopping, looking at Lin Yang leisurely, and saying, “You should still listen to my story.”

“Alright, I’m all ears.” Lin Yang said no more.

“Do you believe in Life?” The man suddenly asked again.

“What do you mean, sir?” Lin Yang didn’t quite understand what he was referring to.

“Destiny!”

The man uttered two words, looked at Lin Yang seriously, and said, “Do you believe a person’s destiny is predetermined by heaven, or is it in their own hands?”

“This…” Lin Yang felt a little melancholic.

Was he getting philosophical with him?

If this topic were truly discussed, it would take three days and three nights to finish.

The man watched Lin Yang with a faint smile on his lips, not urging him.

Seeing this, Lin Yang sighed in his heart and slowly said, “Destiny is too mysterious. I can’t say I believe it, nor can I say I don’t, but I still believe that destiny can largely be changed by oneself. There’s a saying in my hometown: Man can conquer nature.”

“Man can conquer nature?” The man repeated, then laughed loudly: “Well said, man can conquer nature, and even more so, one can defy heaven and change destiny, counterattacking the wheel of fate!”

“Counterattacking the wheel of fate?” Lin Yang heard such words for the first time and found them very imposing.

The man nodded slightly, then suddenly said, “Kid, destiny must be controlled by oneself, but sometimes you also have to believe in it a little, for example, our encounter.”

“What do you mean by that, sir?” Lin Yang truly didn’t understand what he was trying to say.

“Hehe, we’ll talk about that later, you listen to my story first.” The man chuckled softly.

“Alright, please proceed.” Lin Yang replied.

“Oh, by the way, how much do you know about Gene Warrior?”

Just as Lin Yang thought he would finally hear the story, the man asked another question.

“Gene Warrior? I don’t know much, I only know that they change various bodily functions by injecting Gene Potion, reaching a level beyond ordinary people, possessing extremely powerful combat abilities, and then becoming killing machines through various trainings.” Lin Yang stated his limited understanding.

“Your understanding is truly superficial enough.” The man scoffed, then began to educate Lin Yang: “Gene Warrior are not just as you described. What you mentioned are only low-level Gene Warrior. Truly powerful Gene Warrior are Extraordinary Warrior. The abilities possessed by Extraordinary Warrior have strictly speaking completely transcended the scope of being human, for example, like this!”

As he spoke, the man extended his palm, and a cluster of white mist condensed out of thin air in his palm, exuding an eerie coldness.

“This is…” Lin Yang’s pupils contracted. This coldness was identical to what emanated from the ice coffin earlier!

“Still don’t understand? The coldness you felt before wasn’t coming from the ice coffin, but from my dissipated extraordinary characteristic material!” The man waved his palm slightly, and the white mist instantly dissipated.

Lin Yang’s heart trembled as he looked at the man.

Dissipated extraordinary characteristic material?

“Sir, are you saying your body can create this power?” Lin Yang’s mind was a bit chaotic.

“Create? No, accurately speaking, it’s control!” The man shook his head, “I haven’t reached the height where I can create extraordinary characteristic material; that’s another level. I only control some extraordinary characteristic material.”

Upon hearing this, Cang Miao, who was beside him, suddenly asked, “Is there a difference?”

“Haha, little one, there’s a huge difference. You are a Wu Cang Clan, and it seems you are also progressing towards becoming a Super Warrior. If all goes well, in the near future, you will understand the difference.”

The man glanced at Cang Miao indifferently, then looked back at Lin Yang and said, “Controlling extraordinary characteristic material allows one to turn the clouds and make it rain. You have also witnessed the power of this strength. If I wished, endless coldness could penetrate the cosmic starry sky. As an ordinary person like you, you would only die. Even a powerful interstellar fleet would be unable to resist. Do you want to possess such power too?”

“Hmm?” Lin Yang’s eyes widened instantly.

What did that mean?

To be honest, the man’s methods seemed even more powerful than Superman’s to him.

To say he didn’t want to possess it was certainly impossible.

This power was too strong!

“Sir, are you saying this means I need to pay some price?”

However, even though he was tempted, Lin Yang maintained his rationality.

The guy’s words sounded like he wanted to help him become an Extraordinary Warrior, but there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Extraordinary power was certainly tempting, but he had a system. As long as he had enough national treasure value, he could also exchange for Super Gene Potion.

So, if the conditions the guy proposed were too excessive, he wouldn’t agree.

“Hehe, you’re quite cautious, but don’t worry, you don’t need to pay any price. I’m just a little unwilling to die like this and let certain guy benefit. You only need to agree to one condition: when your ability reaches the required level in the future, help me eliminate some people, and I will help you become an Extraordinary Warrior for free.” The man smiled slightly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang’s heart skipped a beat: “It’s that simple?”

“That’s right, it’s that simple!” The man nodded.

“This… please allow me to think about it.” Lin Yang still didn’t agree immediately.

Everything that had happened since he first saw the ice coffin until now had been somewhat beyond his comprehension.

Now, an immense stroke of luck had fallen upon him. The more critical the moment, the calmer he needed to be!

Soon, Lin Yang suppressed his various emotions, thought of a crucial issue, and said, “Sir, forgive my presumptuousness, but enemies that even you, so powerful, cannot deal with, must surely be even more formidable. Even if I become an Extraordinary Warrior like you, I probably wouldn’t have a chance to help you get revenge, right?”

“Haha, I didn’t realize you were so clever.” The man didn’t get angry upon hearing this; instead, his smile deepened, and he said softly, “You’re right, they are very powerful, but didn’t I also say, just help me when your ability reaches the required level? When your ability is insufficient, there’s no need to fulfill the promise.”

“What if I can never defeat them?” Lin Yang asked again.

“Then you never need to fulfill the promise.” The man said leisurely.

“Uh… that works too?” Lin Yang always felt a bit uneasy.

“Naturally. Anyway, I’m going to die, and before I die, I probably won’t encounter anyone else. Just tell me if you are willing to accept this condition!” The man confirmed again.

“…So, you don’t have a choice, hence you can only choose to help me become an Extraordinary Warrior?” Lin Yang’s expression was strange.

“Haha, pretty much. But didn’t I just say? Our encounter has a subtle connection to destiny. I believe you will definitely succeed in helping me get revenge in the future.” The man was also very frank.

After speaking, his gaze swept over Lin Mu and Cang Miao again, and he slowly said, “You, an ordinary person, can obtain a Wu Cang Clan and this mechanical Life, and also obtain a perfect extraordinary characteristic material. Just based on your luck, I have reason to believe you will succeed in helping me get revenge in the future, after all, sometimes luck is also very important.”

“…Alright.”

With the guy saying that, Lin Yang was speechless.

His luck had indeed always been good.

“Then it’s settled. I’ll help you become an Extraordinary Warrior, and you’ll help me get revenge in the future.” The man’s eyes were burning.

“Okay!” Lin Yang nodded seriously.

With things said to this extent, there was no reason not to agree.

This was no different from picking up money on the street.

“Then, pleasant cooperation. Here, this is yours.”

Seeing Lin Yang agree, the man returned the box to Lin Yang, saying at the same time:

“This perfect extraordinary characteristic material, do not take it out in front of anyone until you successfully become an Extraordinary Warrior, otherwise even if I were to revive, I wouldn’t be able to save you.”

“Understood.” Lin Yang replied, quietly looking at the man, waiting for him to produce the extraordinary characteristic material.

However, the man said indifferently, “To become an Extraordinary Warrior, it’s not something that can be achieved with just one bottle of extraordinary characteristic material. I don’t have extraordinary-level Gene Potion in my hands right now either.”

“Then how do I become an Extraordinary Warrior??” Lin Yang was stunned.

“I said, to become a truly powerful Extraordinary Warrior, it cannot be achieved by extraordinary characteristic material. I will give you a path to becoming an Extraordinary Warrior at the peak, although it will be much slower than directly injecting Gene Potion, once successful, you will easily sweep away other Extraordinary Warrior. At that time, helping me with revenge will also be effortless.” The man said in a deep voice.

“Oh…” Lin Yang’s eyes flickered.

This sounded quite impressive.

“Are you ready?” The man suddenly asked.

“Ready for what?” Lin Yang was stunned.

The next instant, before he could react at all, the man suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

Then, a blinding white light erupted, blocking everyone’s vision.

Lin Yang couldn’t see anything, he didn’t even dare to open his eyes.

Following that, an intense pain came from his chest.

His chest felt as if something was tearing it apart.

“Ah…”

The immense pain made Lin Yang unable to help but cry out.

Bang!

Immediately after, he also suffered a violent blow to his head.

A pain far more hundred times intense than the one in his chest spread throughout his entire mind, then permeated his whole body!

At this point, Lin Yang couldn’t even scream anymore.

At this moment, he only had one thought left, and that was—he had been tricked!

The guy had talked so much to him, seemingly to make him lower his guard, so he could attack him!!

Although he didn’t quite understand why, given the guy’s power, there was no need to do this, the pain throughout his body now prevented him from thinking of anything else.

The guy seemed to be treating his body like a toy, tapping on every single one of his bones.

Worse than death!

At this moment, Lin Yang truly experienced the full weight of these four words!

If possible, he would rather die directly!

But, precisely, he not only didn’t die, he didn’t even faint!

Despite enduring such immense pain, he actually didn’t faint!

This was very illogical!

“It’s intentional, this guy definitely did it on purpose, wanting me to consciously feel this pain!” Lin Yang cursed in his heart.

Other than this reason, he truly couldn’t find any other explanation for why he couldn’t faint.

It must be this guy who deliberately manipulated it!

“Pervert!”

Lin Yang cursed incessantly in his heart.

Finally, after one particular curse, his spirit sank, and he felt nothing more.

After an unknown amount of time.

Lin Yang felt another slap on his head, and the stinging sensation made him instinctively open his eyes!

“You’re awake.”

What met his eyes was the man’s faint smile.

“Huh? I’m not dead?”

At this moment, Lin Yang suddenly woke up with a start. He wasn’t dead?!

At the moment he fainted, he thought he was certainly dead.

“Dead? Why would you die?” The man looked at him with a half-smile.

“Uh… you, didn’t you just… my body…” Lin Yang subconsciously responded.

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that there wasn’t a single injury on his body!

“This…” Lin Yang was stunned, then twisted his hands and legs.

Not a single scratch!

Nor any pain!

“Was it a dream just now?” Lin Yang was a bit confused between reality and dream.

The pain just now was so real; although he couldn’t see, he was sure he had definitely gone through some abuse.

But now there wasn’t a single scar, which made him feel a bit disoriented.

“Don’t think about it, everything that just happened was real. I did indeed act on you, but you can rest assured, I merely inherited a portion of my extraordinary characteristic material to you. Your body was too frail to withstand the sudden influx of extraordinary characteristic material, which is why you felt immense pain.”

The man spoke again, instantly astonishing Lin Yang!

“You, inherited extraordinary characteristic material directly to me??”

“That’s right. Of course, this doesn’t mean you’ve directly become an Extraordinary Warrior. You can only inherit a tiny bit of my extraordinary characteristic material. This small amount of power can only serve as your threshold to becoming an Extraordinary Warrior. You still cannot utilize the extraordinary characteristic material you inherited from me right now.” The man said.

“What exactly is going on?” Lin Yang urgently needed a detailed explanation.

“There’s not much time to explain to you. You just need to know that before becoming an Extraordinary Warrior, you are no different from your original self. The only difference is that you now have the opportunity to become an Extraordinary Warrior at the peak!” The man said slowly.

After speaking, without giving Lin Yang a chance to speak, the man continued, “Remember this well, what I need you to eliminate is not one person, nor a group of people, but an entire Universe Country, a whole Universe Country. That Universe Country is called: Chu!”
