141: [Protagonist Halo]

With the "Child of Destiny" talent, Su Yuan's Luck indeed improved significantly.

Each synthesis allowed him to generate the type he desired.

Finally, among the eighteen white talents, he chose to keep two:

1:

"Talent Name": Move Like a Frightened Rabbit

"Talent Rank": White

"Talent Effect": Your movements are extremely fast, as quick and agile as a rabbit escaping.

2:

"Talent Name": Swift and Decisive

"Talent Rank": White

"Talent Effect": Your reactions are very swift and decisive, acting as quickly as lightning and a gale.

Both of these were speed and reaction-based talents.

Even at white quality, they could already produce impressive effects.

When they upgrade to gold quality, they should give him some surprises.

As for the remaining sixteen, he chose to merge them all,

Upgrading them into a purple talent: "Otherworldly and refined"!

"Speaking of which, if this 'Otherworldly and refined' upgrades again, will it also become a 'Supreme Bone'?"

To be honest,

Su Yuan wouldn't mind having another "Supreme Bone"; more bones, more paths.

However, the most urgent task now was to upgrade "Child of Destiny",

So, this purple talent "Otherworldly and refined" was also merged.

As this new talent dissipated,

The original purple "Child of Destiny" instantly upgraded to a gold talent—

"Talent Name": Protagonist Halo

"Talent Rank": gold

"Talent Effect": You are the Child of the World, the protagonist of this world. You turn misfortune into good fortune, overcome difficulties, constantly encounter Opportunity, receive the protection of the Heavenly Dao, and cause villains to lose their intelligence.

"Ah, I am the protagonist! I have become the Child of the World protected by the Heavenly Dao!"

Su Yuan looked at the newly upgraded talent,

And couldn't help but be stunned.

Although ever since the System appeared, he had a sense of being the world's protagonist,

When the actual Protagonist Halo effect was displayed before him,

He was still inevitably shocked.

"Now that I have the 'Protagonist Halo', should I go jump off a few cliffs? Maybe at the bottom of a cliff, there's an expert's Immortal Cave with a great Opportunity..."

Su Yuan couldn't help but think,

Novels all write it this way: jumping off a cliff inevitably leads to an extraordinary encounter!

As the protagonist,

He would definitely survive great disasters and be blessed with good fortune, possessing an absolute law of immortality.

Moreover, the Halo talent effect also stated that he could turn misfortune into good fortune and overcome difficulties!

The more Su Yuan thought about it, the more tempted he became.

"But what if I fall to my death? Turning misfortune into good fortune might not stop me from seeking death, and if I don't seek death, I won't die."

"It's better to be careful. With normal Cultivation, I can still become a Martial God."

"While I won't be overly cautious in my development, there's no need to take too many risks!"

Su Yuan let out a long breath.

After upgrading "Child of Destiny" to "Protagonist Halo", he felt that his spirit, Qi, and essence seemed to have improved significantly.

Perhaps the Halo also enhanced his overall temperament and image.

Beyond that,

There didn't seem to be any other obvious changes.

However, Luck is indeed something that cannot be seen or touched.

The difference only becomes apparent when one truly encounters something.

Su Yuan looked at his space.

Now, all the discarded talents and the talent fragments bought today were completely cleared out.

The space only had a few gray talent fragments left, which were gradually arriving from online purchases.

He would synthesize gray talents once he gathered enough.

This talent upgrade brought immense progress:

Purple "Nine Oxen Strength" → gold "Nine Oxen Strength",

Purple "Giant Dragon Bloodline" → gold "Descendant of the Dragon",

Purple "Transformation" → gold "Supreme Bone",

Red "Great Luck" → gold "Protagonist Halo",

This really made him feel incredibly powerful!

...He checked the time; it was almost dinner.

Su Yuan left his room to help prepare dinner.

Ever since they learned the Mastermind's identity, their family's mindset had become much more urgent, and they were even more desperate in their Cultivation.

On one hand, they feared the opponent would come to attack again.

On the other hand, each of them held a grudge, hoping to find an Opportunity to take revenge someday.

That's why they trained diligently day after day.

After moving into the new house in Rong Garden, the area was much more spacious.

His Older Sister practiced swordsmanship on the balcony, and his mother meditated in her room.

Cooking became more often the task of his father, Su Lingfeng,

After all, his father had the worst Aptitude, so an extra moment of Cultivation wouldn't make much difference.

"Xiao Yunfei, I've seen a lot of news about him online these past few days. He's a peerless Prodigy comparable to a talent Genius, not easy to deal with. You must be careful!"

While cooking,

Su Lingfeng cautioned.

"Don't worry, what peerless Prodigy? They're just stepping stones on my path to becoming a Martial God!" Su Yuan said indifferently.

"When did you become so arrogant?" Su Lingfeng frowned.

"You don't understand!"

Su Yuan shook his head. He could truly be said to be 'wearing splendid robes at night' now.

As the protagonist of the world, with the "Protagonist Halo" upon him,

It was not good to tell others openly!

He had thought a lot more just now.

Although he was the world's protagonist blessed with Luck,

Protagonists also came in many types. For example, a 'trash' protagonist would first become trash, endure mockery from everyone, and only then would he show off and slap faces.

There were also protagonists with deep-seated grievances, whose entire families were exterminated first, and then they struggled to survive before finally getting revenge!

Su Yuan still wanted to be a smooth-sailing Genius protagonist!

He wanted to be an invincible protagonist!

It was better not to expose the matter of the "Protagonist Halo" in the early stages!

After dinner, he continued to Cultivate in his room. Sometimes, when he got tired of meditating,

He would go to the rooftop to practice martial arts and spar with his Older Sister in swordsmanship.

Currently, his "Seventy-Two Paths of Gods and Demons Halberd" (upper volume) and "Thirteen Solitary Peak Swords" had both reached Perfection.

As for "Overlord Halberd Technique" and "Eight Swords Flying Together", they had also reached the introductory level.

Now Su Yuan was already able to control the As-You-Wish Iron Rod to float,

And slow movement was no problem!

However, if he wanted to take someone's head from a hundred paces away, that was still a long way off.

Besides that,

He also had a "Five Tiger Severing Door Saber" technique.

This could only be considered an ordinary saber technique, not too profound.

Su Yuan had bought it from the principal of First High School, originally for the "Learn Immediately" talent attached to the Cultivation Technique.

But the "Taking Advantage of an Opportunity" of that Rank had already been used,

So there was no way to transfer "Learn Immediately" to him.

However, Su Yuan also took the time to read through "Five Tiger Severing Door Saber", and influenced by the "Learn Immediately" talent,

After reading it,

This saber technique immediately reached the introductory level!

Saber techniques and sword techniques still had quite significant differences. Saber techniques focused more on chopping and hacking, while sword techniques focused more on thrusting and parrying.

By analogy, Su Yuan felt he gained a lot. If there were situations more suitable for using a saber in the future, he could transform the As-You-Wish Iron Rod into a saber and perform the Five Tiger Severing Door Saber.

These past few days, Su Yuan hadn't left the house. Instead, he bought some Medicinal Pills and Cultivated peacefully at home.

In the battle a few days ago,

Although he found many reasons, such as speed, reaction, and swordsmanship,

Ultimately, it was still because his Rank was too low.

Seeing that he was not far from the second level of the second realm,

Su Yuan thought about working hard these days to quickly Breakthrough to the second level.

However, he still had to go out today!
