26: Section 26

Soon, Disciples were called by name and entered the Secret Realm arena for their matches.

In the crowd,

Chu Mo was also watching.

He did not immediately enter the arena, but planned to observe for a while first.

Standing there, he could clearly see the figures of many Disciples in the arena.

Chu Mo scanned the area; most of them were at the Perfection of the Body Forging Realm, but there were also two Martial Artists at True Spirit Realm First Level currently fighting.

The two of them were evenly matched, fighting back and forth in a lively manner.

“Well fought!”

“Senior Brother Liu’s Yang Flame Sword Art is truly at the pinnacle of skill; it seems he’s close to Perfection!”

“Senior Brother Zhou is no slouch either; his Dragon Elephant Strength has reached Major Achievement, and every move he makes carries the power to split mountains and shatter stones!”

“For now, the two seem evenly matched, but I wonder who will win!”

Cheers and discussions occasionally erupted from the crowd.

For them, this level of competition was extremely exciting.

But for Chu Mo, it lacked some interest.

Not to mention that their strength was insignificant before Chu Mo, almost suppressible with a flick of his palm, their combat experience was also nothing to write home about, making it truly uninteresting to watch.

Chu Mo shifted his gaze.

He began to observe if any Martial Artists possessed great Opportunities worth his attention.

And at this moment,

As he cast his gaze in a certain direction, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a brilliant golden gleam.

【Name】: Zhang Fan

【Realm】: True Spirit Realm First Level

【Fate】: Lone Star of Calamity (Black)

【Destiny】: Child of Destiny (Gold), Fortune and Misfortune Intertwined (Gold), Honed Edge (Purple), Information from Danger (Purple),

【Life Script】: (“Mortal cultivation biography” Protagonist)

【Recent Turning Point】: First, he was promoted to Inner Sect Disciple in the Outer Sect Great Competition, then gained numerous Opportunities during an outing.

Opportunity One: Seven days later, while Cultivating sword techniques on a cliff, he unexpectedly triggered a mysterious Sword IntentShock, almost dying. After investigation, he found a mysterious stone tablet hidden in a cave, on which was engraved the Sword Dao True Intent imprinted by a mysterious powerful expert. After comprehending it, he gained Sword Intent.

Opportunity Two: Twelve days later, he accepted a Sect mission to pursue and kill a target in Tai'an Prefecture. After slaying the target, he unexpectedly obtained a Breath Concealing Art from him, which could hide his own Qi aura.

Opportunity Three: On his way back, he encountered a mysterious woman and befriended her. They hit it off immediately. Later, he learned that the mysterious woman was the Seventh Princess of the Tai'an Imperial Dynasty. She discovered a Secret Realm and invited him to explore it together, from which they obtained a mysterious Opportunity, forging a superior Physique.

Opportunity Four: …

…

A full two golden Destinies and two purple Destinies, plus the screen full of Opportunities, completely filled Chu Mo’s eyes, making him momentarily stunned.

After a few breaths, he finally recovered.

He looked at the introductions of these Fates and Destinies.

【Child of Destiny】: A person chosen by fate, possessing great Luck.

【Fortune and Misfortune Intertwined】: Opportunity accompanies danger, crisis accompanies Opportunity. When encountering a crisis, one can always find an Opportunity, and when encountering an Opportunity, one may also encounter a crisis.

【Honed Edge】: A sharp sword comes from honing, plum blossoms smell fragrant from bitter cold. Honing alone can make a person grow; what doesn’t kill him will only make him stronger. Every time he experiences a tribulation and survives, he will become even stronger, his strength reaching a higher level.

【Information from Danger】: Information comes from danger, at the critical moment, always remain vigilant, sensitivity is extraordinary.

【Lone Star of Calamity】: Walking the Great Dao alone, as a Child of Destiny, while gaining something, one must also pay a price. No matter where one goes, one will bring disaster to those around him.

Looking at these Fates and Destinies,

For some reason, some classic plotlines suddenly surfaced in Chu Mo’s mind—

A person chosen by destiny, accompanied by the Lone Star of Calamity since childhood, facing hardships and difficulties along the way.

But the Protagonist was resolute and courageous, never wavering in his resolve, always moving forward.

Because he harbored some secrets, he was forced to act low-key, but due to the Protagonist’s hate-attracting Physique, he was often mocked and looked down upon, which forced the Protagonist to feign weakness to ambush his opponents, forced to slap faces.

Along the way, all Prodigies who stood in his path were suppressed. Even with a vast disparity in strength, he could always find a way to survive and even gain Opportunities.

These familiar plotlines, combined with Zhang Fan’s Fate and Destiny, were so perfectly matched!

“This is clearly a standard Mortal Trash Protagonist!”

Chu Mo couldn’t help but think.

Coming back to his senses,

Chu Mo suddenly noticed Zhang Fan’s 【Life Script】 entry.

“Protagonist of Mortal cultivation biography!”

“He has the same script as me!”

Chu Mo’s gaze immediately sharpened.

When he first saw that his own Life Script was that of a supporting character in Mortal cultivation biography, he had already suspected that he would eventually become entangled with the plot.

And now,

It had indeed come true!

“According to the normal beginning of a Mortal novel, although I, this Outer Sect Great Master, am relatively Trash, I am still a ‘Great Master’ after all. I presume a conflict will arise with him before the Great Competition begins.”

“Logically, I should be able to suppress him, but I didn’t expect the Protagonist to have gained an Opportunity, and his Cultivation Realm had already reached True Spirit Realm by the time the Outer Sect Great Competition began!”

“So, the Protagonist naturally and powerfully suppressed me, this initial minor villain, astonishing the entire audience, thereby advancing to the Inner Sect and embarking on a new journey.”

“But now my destiny has changed, and it’s very possible I’ll be promoted to a True Disciple.”

“In that case, perhaps my script will become that of a True Disciple Prodigy suppressing an Inner Sect Junior Brother, only to be ultimately counter-suppressed by him?”

Chu Mo pondered in his heart.

Chapter 23: Desiring to Strike First, Gaining Elder’s Attention

Of course, this was just Chu Mo’s speculation.

Perhaps there would no longer be any entanglement between them.

But it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

In this type of Mortal Trash plot, besides the Protagonist, almost everyone, whether righteous or villainous, generally comes to a bad end.

Chu Mo had already changed his destiny; even if he just Cultivated normally now, his future was boundless.

Under these circumstances, he naturally did not wish to become entangled in the plot, be plagued by various troubles, and ultimately become a stepping stone to be suppressed by the Protagonist.

“Since that’s the case…”

“Then I can only strike first!”

Thinking of this, a sharp glint appeared in Chu Mo’s eyes.

He did not intend to directly kill him.

Such a Protagonist has great Luck on him, and without absolute certainty, one must not easily expose oneself.

Otherwise,

Once he escapes, it would instead lead to great trouble.

“First, I’ll use this Golden Finger that allows me to view Life Scripts to seize his Opportunities. Firstly, this can increase my Foundation and reserves, and secondly, it can curb his growth momentum!”

“Once I have overwhelming power, I will launch a thunderous strike and completely suppress him!”

“Giving him no chance to rise again!”

As his thoughts raced, Chu Mo had already made his decision.

He secretly recorded all of Zhang Fan’s Opportunities, and after the Great Competition, he would immediately seize them first.

…

While Chu Mo was observing Zhang Fan, the Outer Sect Great Competition was still ongoing.

As time passed, some outstanding individuals quickly emerged, attracting the attention of the Elders and securing their spots as Inner Sect Disciples in advance.

Others suffered dismal defeats and ended their journey with regret.

It could be said that some rejoiced while others grieved.

It is worth mentioning that,

Zhang Fan had also begun to appear.

As the Protagonist of the Mortal Trash genre, his hate-attracting Physique truly lived up to its reputation.

As soon as he stepped onto the arena, he encountered a Genius who had reached True Spirit Realm Third Level and was quite renowned in the Outer Sect.
