101: The bug entry for Linghu Chong!

At this moment, Shen Xinrong also smiled and chimed in, “This person is not simple. His name is Linghu Chong, and he is a direct disciple of Xuantian Sword Sect, one of the four second-rank sects in the Central Plains. He’s incredibly formidable!”

“Xuantian Sword Sect’s direct disciple, Linghu Chong?!”

Li Shengyuan and Mu Yunxiao were both surprised.

They had thought he was a disciple of some rogue expert, but they never expected him to be a direct disciple of a major sect!

Xuantian Sword Sect was much more powerful than the Giant Spirit Hall and its ilk!

The sect not only had a living second-rank Grand Elder but also four third-rank powerhouses, with countless other experts.

With nearly ten thousand disciples, it was an extremely powerful sect!

Moreover, Xuantian Sword Sect primarily cultivated the Way of the Sword, excelling in combat, and the strength of every disciple within the sect was not to be underestimated.

Because everyone in Xuantian Sword Sect, from top to bottom, were sword cultivators with straightforward temperaments who didn't interact much with the government, Li Shengyuan knew very little about them.

“A true disciple of Xuantian Sword Sect, no wonder this kid is so formidable. I just don’t know which of the sect’s top three-rank powerhouses he is a disciple of,” Li Shengyuan scrutinized Linghu Chong, who was slaughtering everything in his path.

In top sects, only those who apprenticed under top three-rank powerhouses were called true disciples.

Then, Li Shengyuan looked at Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang with curiosity.

“How do you two know him? And it seems like you didn’t get along well?”

Princess Pingyang, however, snorted disdainfully, “I don’t know that guy at all. He shamelessly introduced himself. Although he’s a sword cultivator, he’s not straightforward at all; he has too many tricks up his sleeve!”

“Oh? What exactly happened?” Li Shengyuan grew even more curious.

Shen Xinrong smiled and explained the events of that day to Li Shengyuan.

“Speaking of which, meeting him was related to Qing Shuang and Mengmeng, those two senior and junior sisters.”

“That day, disciples from the Giant Spirit Hall were bothering them, and then this Linghu Chong couldn’t stand them bullying us with their higher cultivation, so he offered to help.”

Princess Pingyang, however, pouted and interjected disdainfully, “What do you mean ‘couldn’t stand the strong bullying the weak’? He clearly just wanted to play the hero and save the beauty, taking the opportunity to get to know us. He looked like he’d never seen a woman before, his eyes were practically glued to them. It was obvious he had ulterior motives, using such an old trick, and he calls himself a sword cultivator…”

Shen Xinrong nodded with a smile and continued, “However, after I injured those two Giant Spirit Hall members, Zhang Mang brought people to arrest them.”

“As for him… he left his name and origin and then departed. I didn’t expect him to also come to the Giant Spirit Hall, and to meet him here again.”

Li Shengyuan nodded. After hearing Shen Xinrong’s account of the events, a glint of excitement appeared in his eyes as he looked at Linghu Chong.

This kid was not simple!

Li Shengyuan still remembered the system’s prompt that night when he took the primordial yin from the adorable Yue Qingmeng.

It said she was the fated heroine of the Son of Destiny, and he had been worried about not finding this Son of Destiny!

Now it seemed, it was most likely this Linghu Chong fellow!

And just by the sound of his name, he wasn’t simple.

Whether he was the Son of Destiny or not, a simple scan with the system would tell. He just happened to have an opportunity to plunder a purple trait related to this.

‘Little brother, let me see if you really are the Son of Destiny!’

Li Shengyuan looked at Linghu Chong from a distance with some excitement. Given this person’s background, if he truly was the Son of Destiny, then the traits on him would surely be extraordinary!

‘System, detect the purple traits on Linghu Chong and see if he really is the Son of Destiny!’

Detecting...

At the same time, Mu Yunxiao, who had listened to everything, looked at Li Shengyuan with some suspicion, then at Linghu Chong in the distant crowd. Something was fishy!

He also saw that Linghu Chong was indeed extraordinary. If he were allowed to develop, his future would be limitless. Given enough time, breaking through to the third rank would not be a problem.

Could it be that Li Shengyuan wanted to win over a genius like Linghu Chong for his own use?

Thinking this, Mu Yunxiao’s heart sank slightly. He felt this possibility was very high!

And judging from his interactions with Li Shengyuan during this time, the young and spirited Linghu Chong was very likely to agree.

If this were true, once he grew up, he would be another formidable opponent!

Xuantian Sword Sect didn’t interact with the imperial court, so they would have even less interaction with him.

The best way was to eliminate this Linghu Chong… A cold glint flashed in Mu Yunxiao’s eyes.

What if he was a genius? He was only a fifth-rank after all. Send a slightly more powerful fourth-rank consummate expert, and he wouldn't be a match.

Moreover, he wasn't in the Central Plains, but in the distant Northern Territory. Eliminating someone was too easy there!

It was perfect to take advantage of everyone being in the Giant Spirit Hall today to eliminate them all, once and for all!

Little did he know, Li Shengyuan’s thoughts were similar to his, but Li Shengyuan wasn't planning to simply kill Linghu Chong. He would at least exploit all the usable traits first!

Just by taking Mengmeng’s primordial yin, he could plunder one of his purple traits.

If he took the primordial yin of a few more fated heroines, would that be enough to completely exploit him?

Li Shengyuan pondered secretly.

At the same time, Li Shengyuan also received a response from the system, and the detected purple traits greatly surprised Li Shengyuan.

Detection successful, Son of Destiny Linghu Chong has been locked.

Purple trait: Against-the-Heavens Comprehension.

Purple trait: Sword Arts Crushing Peers.

Purple trait: Innate Sword Heart Enlightenment.

Purple trait: Silk-Blood Counter-Kill (When facing an opponent within his extreme strength, triggered when on the verge of death, with a 50% chance to burst out and achieve a one-hit kill).

Purple trait: Rebirth from Fire (25% chance to activate after Silk-Blood Counter-Kill is triggered, strength will advance to the next level, injuries will recover, and there will be no side effects).

Li Shengyuan looked at the traits on Linghu Chong and immediately gasped in shock.

This kid actually had five purple traits!

And each one was more against-the-heavens than the last!

The most important thing was that none of these five traits were about luck!

Then there was only one possibility:

Linghu Chong’s luck had reached the level of a golden trait!

After absorbing Liu Xiu’s Pure Yang trait, Li Shengyuan had undergone a transformation, which gave him a taste of the sweetness of golden traits!

If he were to absorb the golden trait on Linghu Chong again, the effect would be unimaginable… Li Shengyuan’s eyes were filled with fervent desire.

This Linghu Chong was the first Son of Destiny to possess a golden trait!

He could be called a top-tier talent!

Putting aside the golden trait for now, Li Shengyuan was also extremely covetous of the five purple traits on him!

None of these five were weak, but what Li Shengyuan found most outrageous were the last two:

Silk-Blood Counter-Kill and Rebirth from Fire.

And these two were actually a combo, and their combined effect would definitely be stronger!

50% chance to Silk-Blood Counter-Kill the opponent, and after killing, there's a 25% chance to trigger health recovery, and strength will also increase…

Can’t kill him, then he recovers health and continues to kill, on the verge of death, he triggers a power-up…

Those who can’t kill him will only make him stronger, right?

This person was simply a bug!

Although there was a 50% chance that Silk-Blood Counter-Kill might not be triggered, and he might be killed by the opponent, the risk was still very high, which is why it was only a purple trait.

But don’t forget, Linghu Chong also had golden trait-level luck!

Under the blessing of powerful luck, even if the probability wasn’t 100%, it could at least be boosted to 80 or 90 percent, right?

With such a high probability, what was the difference from a sure hit?

A slight misstep, and he would be Silk-Blood Counter-Killed, right?!

Simply against the heavens!

Li Shengyuan’s gaze towards Linghu Chong had changed. This guy was indeed not simple!

At this moment, the system’s prompt sounded in Li Shengyuan’s mind:

“Host, please choose whether to plunder the Son of Destiny’s purple traits.”
