7: Plunder the Son of Fortune! Novice Reward Critical Hit

Li Shengyuan, who had been nonchalant, was startled when he heard the name from his younger brother Li Xinghe's mouth.

“What the hell, this kid is named Liu Xiu?”

Li Shengyuan couldn't help but curse. When he was on Blue Star, people with that name were publicly recognized as Sons of Fortune!

Soon, Li Shengyuan's heart sank. He was a transmigrator, and that kid was named Liu Xiu. Why did this script feel so familiar?!

Regardless of whether it was that kid's real name or not, being named Liu Xiu meant he was destined to be extraordinary.

“If I make a move on him later, he won't use a great meteorite summoning technique to smash me to death, will he?”

Li Shengyuan couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He then stared intently at the exit of the dormitory building. Regardless of whether this kid was a Son of Fortune, he definitely couldn't be left alone.

With Li Xinghe's shout, the dormitory building was quickly surrounded by people.

For a moment, discussions were endless.

“Didn't Brother Xinghe just lose to that kid Liu Xiu yesterday? Why is he challenging him again today?”

“Didn't you see who the person standing next to him is?!”

“Who?!”

“You don't even know this? You're truly ignorant! This is a Golden-robed Demon Suppressor from the Demon Suppression Division, the Chief Assistant's eldest grandson, and the current Emperor's junior brother! I vowed long ago to become someone like him!”

“Hiss…”

“Oh my god, so it's him. This is going to be good!”

“…”

Listening to the praises of the surrounding people, Li Shengyuan's face was expressionless. He had long grown tired of the praises from a few young brats.

On the contrary, Li Xinghe raised his head proudly, looking as if the one being praised was him!

During his years at the academy, he had often used his elder brother's name to throw his weight around.

Soon, a boy about the same age as Li Xinghe, but dressed in coarse linen clothes and in his early teens, walked out of the dormitory building.

The boy looked calm. Although his appearance was ordinary, he possessed a unique temperament.

Facing the densely packed crowd, Liu Xiu remained calm, showing no signs of stage fright.

He first glanced at the heroic and extraordinary Li Shengyuan, who stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes showing no fear.

Then he looked at Li Xinghe and said disdainfully, “Li Xinghe, you defeated opponent, I thought that even though you were a scion, you at least knew how to lose gracefully. I didn't expect you to call an adult again. You're truly amazing!”

Faced with Liu Xiu's mockery and ridicule, Li Xinghe, who had grown up amidst constant praise from a young age, could not endure it. His face flushed with anger and shame as he said:

“Liu Xiu, don't get ahead of yourself! My elder brother just happened to have business at the academy and came to watch our challenge. I will definitely defeat you fairly and squarely today!”

“What if I give you a hundred more chances! You're nothing but a defeated opponent!”

Liu Xiu's calm words, however, were filled with boundless confidence.

“Oh, what a confident kid!”

Li Shengyuan raised an eyebrow, looking at Liu Xiu in surprise. He had the invincible and confident demeanor of a Son of Fortune.

“Damn it, today I, Li Xinghe, will definitely beat you until you're looking for your teeth all over the ground!” Li Xinghe was greatly angered, saying through gritted teeth.

“If you have the guts, come to the arena and compete with me!”

After speaking, Li Xinghe angrily pulled his elder brother Li Shengyuan and turned to leave.

His younger brothers, who were also children of power and wealth, followed behind, looking at Li Shengyuan with admiration.

At this moment, next to Liu Xiu, a dark-skinned, thin boy pulled his sleeve worriedly.

“Brother Xiu, maybe we shouldn't go. I heard Li Xinghe's elder brother is very powerful.”

A profoundness far beyond his peers appeared in Liu Xiu's eyes as he said calmly:

“We definitely have to go! I don't believe that the Chief Assistant's eldest grandson, of the Li family, would do something like bully the weak.”

After speaking, he followed them.

However, Li Shengyuan, who had already walked some distance, heard his words through his superhuman senses.

He couldn't help but curl his lips slightly. If it had been before, he would certainly have disdained doing something like bullying the weak.

But now…

He was a villain!

If he were a villain and still soft-hearted, wouldn't he sooner or later be killed by you Sons of Fortune?

Although the great saber in my hand does not cut down the old or the young, for you Sons of Fortune, it is perfectly fine to prepare a small knife as well!

“System, detect the white entries on Liu Xiu.”

“Detecting…”

“Ding!”

“Host has encountered the Son of Fortune Liu Xiu for the first time. White entries: 1. Soul strength surpasses that of peers. 2. Physical body and bones are stronger than peers.”

“Do you wish to plunder the Son of Fortune's white entries?”

Li Shengyuan couldn't help but ponder. This kid named Liu Xiu was indeed a Son of Fortune.

His soul and physical body were stronger than his peers, which meant his strength was greater than others at the same level. However, since they were white entries, the increase in strength couldn't be significant.

But it could still be considered a small talent. As a Son of Fortune, his unique qualities surely weren't limited to these.

Li Shengyuan remembered that after the first plunder, there would also be a novice gift package.

Liu Xiu, this Son of Fortune, was quite suitable as a target for plunder.

So he replied to the system in his mind, “Plunder Liu Xiu's [White entry: Physical body and bones are stronger than peers].”

“Ding!”

“Son of Fortune's white entry: Physical body and bones are stronger than peers has been successfully plundered.”

“Host can absorb it personally or inject it into another person's body.”

“It can even be given to others?”

Li Shengyuan's heart stirred. The slight enhancement from this white entry was negligible for him now.

But for his younger brother Li Xinghe, who was still in the Ninth-Rank Body Refinement stage, it would be different!

With the increase in Li Xinghe's strength and the decrease in Liu Xiu's, it would be very easy for his younger brother to defeat this Son of Fortune, as long as Liu Xiu couldn't use his hidden special methods.

After all, Li Xinghe was a child of the Li family. Although he was only in the Ninth-Rank Body Refinement stage, the resources he used were extraordinary, and his strength also far surpassed his peers.

It was much stronger than the enhancement from Liu Xiu's white entry!

“Integrate the white entry into Li Xinghe's body.”

As Li Shengyuan's thought moved, both Li Xinghe and Liu Xiu, who were walking towards the arena, noticed subtle changes in their bodies.

“Huh?”

Li Xinghe let out a surprised sound of confusion, “Why do I feel an itch all over my body, like I'm growing muscle?”

“Could it be Big Brother?!”

Li Xinghe's eyes immediately lit up. He knew that it was most likely his elder brother at work, and he became even more confident that he could defeat Liu Xiu with his own hands.

At the same time, Liu Xiu also frowned slightly.

Why did he feel a very important power draining from his body?

But since he hadn't made a move yet, he didn't know exactly where the change lay.

Seeing Li Xinghe already on stage and shouting, Liu Xiu didn't think much more about it. He didn't take his former defeated opponent seriously at all.

What could he do after one night?

Li Shengyuan stood with his hands behind his back outside the arena, secretly observing Liu Xiu.

He wanted to see where Liu Xiu's inexplicable power came from.

But before the two could even start fighting, a look of joy appeared in his eyes.

The novice gift package had arrived!

“Host has successfully plundered an entry once. Novice gift package has been activated.”

“Host's first plundered target was a Son of Fortune. Novice gift package rewards are being critically boosted.”

“Ding!”

“Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a chance to plunder all entries of a target (including golden and other-level entries).”

“Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Diagram of Willpower Tempering, the “Chaotic Divine Demon Contemplation Method”.”
