Destined Protagonist: Master, save me!

Three Saints Sect, Qingyang Peak.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name, Taiwan Novel Network, with its extensive collection, twkan.com, for your reading pleasure.]

Chu Yiyi covered her face and cried all the way back to her Master's Peak.

Her eyes held a look of resentment as she recalled the slap Su Ming had given her earlier.

"Su Ming, you shameless scoundrel! I will never rest until you are dead!"

"What's wrong, Yiyi? Did someone make you angry?" A figure suddenly appeared behind Chu Yiyi and pulled her into his embrace.

Feeling the familiar aura behind her, Chu Yiyi could no longer suppress the grievance in her heart and burst into tears.

"Senior Brother Chu Fan, that Su Ming has such a wicked heart! I needed the three saints golden lotus for my Cultivate, and since he happened to have it, I went to ask him for it. In the end, not only did he refuse, but he even slapped me, called me a bitch, and told me to get lost..."

Faced with Chu Yiyi's tearful complaint, Chu Fan's gaze instantly turned several degrees colder.

He had told Chu Yiyi that the three saints golden lotus would help her Cultivation specifically so she would get it from Su Ming.

Eventually, this three saints golden lotus would fall into his own hands, just like the other treasures Su Ming had gifted to Chu Yiyi.

Now that the item hadn't been obtained and Chu Yiyi had been hit by Su Ming, how could he accept this?

Chu Yiyi was his woman; what right did Su Ming have to hit her?

Anger flared on Chu Fan's face: "That Su Ming actually dared to do such a thing?! Don't be afraid, Yiyi. I'll take you to confront him and demand that three saints golden lotus!"

"But Senior Brother Chu Fan, you still have injuries..."

"Master has already bestowed a precious medicine upon me. Not only have I recovered, but my strength has also improved! A mere Su Ming is no match for me at all."

Having reached the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm, Chu Fan was incredibly arrogant at this moment.

He, Chu Fan, had been lying low in the Three Saints Sect for so many years; it was finally time to make a name for himself.

He had originally viewed the Sect Grand Competition in three days as his chance to debut, but now he had a better choice.

As the child of a Heavenly Dao Realm Expert, wasn't Su Ming the perfect stepping stone?

"Really?!" Chu Yiyi's eyes flickered, and her tears vanished instantly.

"Fortunately, I chose Senior Brother Chu instead of that miser Su Ming!" she rejoiced in her heart, completely forgetting the precious medicines Su Ming had given her in the past.

"I'm not like Su Ming; I won't lie to you. Come, take me to him!"

Led by Chu Yiyi, the two of them quickly arrived at Chenyang Peak, where Su Ming lived.

Sensing their arrival, Su Ming, who was in the middle of his Cultivate, slowly opened his eyes.

"Eighth level of the Transcendent Realm? As expected of a protagonist of destiny, even without the three saints golden lotus, he found other opportunities."

"Is this a fit of rage for a beauty, or is it for the three saints golden lotus in my hand?"

"Or perhaps, he plans to use me as a stepping stone for his rise?"

In the original work, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Lord was indeed the most common stepping stone for this protagonist of destiny, Chu Fan.

[As the destined Destiny Villain, please begin the Host's first act of grinding the protagonist of destiny, Chu Fan, into the dirt.]

[If you deal a significant psychological blow to Chu Fan, you will receive a mysterious reward.]

"Suits me just fine." Looking at the task issued by the System, Su Ming chuckled and pushed the door open.

Seeing Su Ming appear, Chu Fan immediately pointed at him and questioned: "Su Ming! Junior Sister Chu's Cultivation Technique requires the three saints golden lotus. It's one thing to refuse her request, but you actually dared to hurt her! I see you have no regard for Fellow Disciples at all!"

"Now that Junior Sister's Cultivate has reached a critical moment—objects are dead but people are alive—what would it hurt for you to give up the three saints golden lotus?"

Seeing Chu Fan's self-righteous appearance, Su Ming couldn't help but laugh.

"Just because she needs it and I happen to have it, I have to give it to her? How absurd!"

"As for that slap, it was just to give her a lesson she won't forget."

Hearing Su Ming's words, Chu Fan felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Now that he had said such things, wouldn't there be plenty of room for manipulation?

From now on, whatever he did would be under the banner of upholding the righteousness of Fellow Disciples!

"Su Ming! We are all Fellow Disciples, yet you can say such things?"

"Today, I shall duel you to vent my Junior Sister's anger!! If you lose to me, you will obediently hand over the three saints golden lotus to her!"

Chu Fan's voice wasn't loud, but it radiated intense confidence.

How could Su Ming not guess the other party's little scheme?

He had intentionally said those words to lure the other party into the trap.

Seeing Chu Fan lunging at him with a punch, Su Ming sneered and stopped suppressing his aura.

"Peak Transcendent Realm?!" Chu Fan's eyes widened as he watched Su Ming's fist grow larger before his eyes.

As their fists collided, Chu Fan's face instantly contorted in pain.

Without giving him time to wail, he was sent flying by Su Ming, landing miserably on the ground and twitching.

The arm that had just clashed was completely shattered.

"Senior Brother!" Chu Yiyi cried out in alarm and rushed to Chu Fan's side to check his injuries.

Seeing that mangled right arm, she was shocked beyond belief.

"Su Ming! It was just a duel, yet you actually struck so heavily. Do you have no regard for our Fellow Disciples at all?"

Looking at Chu Fan wailing on the ground, Su Ming narrowed his eyes.

"I never agreed to his duel. He attacked me first, and I was merely acting in self-defense."

"As for you, Chu Yiyi, you previously coveted my three saints golden lotus. According to the Sect's rules, I could have killed you outright, but I only gave you a slap as a lesson. Instead of being grateful, you brought Chu Fan here to attack me..."

"Given my special status in the Three Saints Sect, it seems there wouldn't be any problem even if I killed both of you right now, would there?"

Hearing this, Chu Fan and Chu Yiyi felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

Given Su Ming's special status in the Three Saints Sect, there really wouldn't be any problem.

If Chu Fan had won just now, the Three Saints Sect might have found an excuse to exonerate him.

But he lost.

Like a wild dog beaten to death by the roadside.

In this situation, how could the Three Saints Sect possibly say a single word?

Tap, tap, tap.

Su Ming walked down the stone steps one by one. To the two of them, the sound was like a death knell.

"You... don't come any closer!"

[Host has caused severe psychological trauma to the protagonist of destiny, Chu Fan, and his key associates. Gained 400 destiny points.]

[Host has completed the challenge. The mysterious reward has been sent to the System Space. Please check it, Host.]

Su Ming, who was still advancing, stopped in his tracks.

Compared to these two weaklings who posed no threat, he was more curious about what kind of reward the System would give him.

Opening the System Space, Su Ming saw the description of the item.

[chaos spirit crystal: Can be carried to automatically release Chaos Qi.]

Seeing this brief description, Su Ming's breathing suddenly quickened.

Chaos Qi was mentioned in the original work; it was a special substance that could enhance the Supreme Chaos Body.

However, it hadn't been obtained by anyone until it was axed.

He didn't expect the System to deliver it directly to his hands now.

Withdrawing his consciousness from the System Space, Su Ming suppressed the smile on his face and looked at the two of them.

"Tell me, how should I deal with you two?"

"Should I kill you directly? Or cripple your Qi Sea? It's truly a difficult choice."

Hearing Su Ming's words, Chu Fan and Chu Yiyi trembled violently.

The former meant losing their lives, while the latter meant they could never Cultivate again—what was the difference between that and being dead?

[Host has successfully intimidated the protagonist of destiny, Chu Fan. Gained 60 destiny points.]

Seeing that there was an unexpected bonus, Su Ming decided to keep going.

Although he wasn't clear on the use of destiny points for now, one could never have too many of such things.

Then, he heard Chu Fan suddenly cry out to the sky: "Master! Save me!!"
