15: Plundering Lin Chen's Protagonist's Fate

“You’re not worthy of my sister.”

Lin Chen’s expression was grim. Although Gu Qing had accepted the challenge, he refused the bet, which made Lin Chen so frustrated he felt like spitting blood.

Gu Qing was the only person he had ever met who didn’t follow his script.

Watching Gu Qing approach, his vital energy was like a roaring furnace, his power astonishing.

Lin Chen roared, becoming one with his sword, transforming into a sharp blade that lunged straight forward.

[Detected Lin Chen harboring strong malice towards the Host, attempting to plunder Host’s luck. Triggering Super Counter Armor, counter-plundering Lin Chen of one thousand luck points.]

Clang!

Gu Qing casually swung his halberd, sending Lin Chen, sword and all, flying.

“Pfft!”

A colossal force struck him, tearing open Lin Chen’s tiger’s mouth (the web between thumb and forefinger) and damaging his internal organs.

“How is this possible?”

Lin Chen was terrified.

With his hundred thousand catties of divine strength and his door-panel-sized greatsword, he was confident he could cleave even a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator in half with one strike.

Yet, he had been effortlessly sent flying by Gu Qing’s casual halberd swing.

“Hiss!”

The onlookers stared at Gu Qing in disbelief.

They had personally experienced how formidable Lin Chen’s Door-Panel Sword Art was.

It was almost guaranteed to injure on contact, a brute force that shattered all techniques.

Precisely because of this, they could only take a beating, completely unable to withstand the terrifying monstrous strength of the door-panel greatsword.

However, Gu Qing had effortlessly sent him flying.

How strong was Gu Qing then?

Hadn’t it been said he only had fifty thousand catties of divine strength?

“Bang!”

Lin Zhentian crushed his teacup, his aura exploding, his gaze fixed on Gu Qing.

He tried to put pressure on Gu Qing, which was also a warning.

“A dispute between juniors, are you planning to interfere?”

The Grand Elder, unwilling to be outdone, directly blocked him, saying with a chuckle.

He was overjoyed, having initially worried that Gu Qing might not be an opponent, and had planned to disregard the rules and intervene at any moment.

However, he hadn’t expected Gu Qing to hide his strength so deeply, giving him a huge surprise.

“How could this be?”

Being retorted with the same words, Lin Zhentian felt his face burning.

He then turned to Lin Chen and said, “Chen’er, you are no match. It’s not shameful to be defeated by someone a whole major realm higher. Quickly admit defeat.”

“Admit defeat?”

Hearing the words “admit defeat,” Lin Chen instantly snapped back to attention, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.

Admitting defeat was impossible. The words “admit defeat” were not in Lin Chen’s dictionary.

Even if Gu Qing was stronger, so what?

He could still defeat him.

Lin Chen picked up his door-panel sword, activated a secret art, burned his vital energy, and the aura of a Dragon-Slaying Protagonist instantly surged.

He roared and charged forward with his sword.

Clang!

Without surprise, Lin Chen flew back as fast as he had charged forward.

“I cannot lose.”

Lin Chen burned his vital energy again. He refused to believe that even with a five-fold amplification, he was still no match for Gu Qing.

Clang!

“Pfft!”

Lin Chen spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, flying out like a broken sack.

“Damn it, no matter how strong you are, I will defeat you today.”

[Detected Lin Chen harboring strong malice towards the Host, attempting to plunder Host’s luck. Triggering Super Counter Armor, counter-plundering Lin Chen of one thousand luck points.]

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

“…”

The people present looked at each other, all feeling that Lin Chen had gone mad.

Knowing he was no match, he kept roaring and charging forward.

What, did he think his output relied entirely on shouting?

“Pfft~!”

Lin Chen didn’t know how many times he had been swept away by the halberd, and he had to accept a cruel truth.

Gu Qing’s strength was far beyond his imagination; he couldn’t possibly be a match.

But… Lin Chen hadn’t lost yet.

He still had trump cards he hadn’t played.

“Gu Qing, don’t get cocky. I still have trump cards. Today, you are bound to lose.”

Lin Chen spat out a mouthful of bloody foam, his eyes like those of a ferocious hungry wolf.

He instantly activated his Dragon Armor, a Flood Dragon encircling and lifting him.

Lin Chen held his door-panel greatsword, exuding self-confidence and astonishing power.

“Gu Qing, I will defeat you today,” he said coldly, his eyes full of arrogance.

“Finally willing to use your Dragon Armor?”

Gu Qing shifted his feet, his figure like a swimming dragon, raising his halberd high, blood-light swirling around it.

Lin Chen looked at the halberd coming towards him, and for some reason, this strike gave him a feeling of being perfectly natural, with nowhere to escape.

Clang!

Bang!

Lin Chen, in the stance of an Overlord lifting a cauldron, knelt on the ground, humiliated.

His forehead veins bulged, blood streamed from his tiger’s mouth, as he exerted all his strength to hold up his sword and block Gu Qing’s halberd.

“How can you be so strong?”

A hint of despair appeared in Lin Chen’s eyes. He had used all his trump cards, yet he was still no match for Gu Qing.

His grand challenge to Gu Qing had now become a joke.

“No, I haven’t lost yet.”

Lin Chen was like an unkillable cockroach, roaring with bloodshot eyes.

He thought of his master.

As long as He Ni was willing to help him, a mere Gu Qing could be slain with a single sword.

“Master, come out and help me! I must defeat Gu Qing today,” he roared in his heart.

He Ni “…”

You want to defeat Gu Qing, why are you looking for me?

“Master, Master, Master!”

Lin Chen frantically called out in his heart.

Seeing that He Ni still didn’t respond, Lin Chen felt resentment towards He Ni.

He was being so humiliated by Gu Qing, yet He Ni wouldn’t come out to help him. He had always considered her his master.

[Detected Lin Chen harboring strong malice towards the Host, attempting to plunder Host’s luck. Triggering Super Counter Armor, counter-plundering Lin Chen of one thousand luck points.]

Gu Qing listened to the system broadcast, overjoyed.

Defeating Lin Chen once could plunder one thousand luck points.

Now that Lin Chen was suppressed, he could plunder one thousand luck points every few seconds.

The luck was coming in too easily.

It was also Lin Chen’s bad luck; his Host-devouring fate was too overbearing, constantly trying to plunder his luck.

If it were a protagonist who didn’t devour others’ luck, Gu Qing wouldn’t be able to plunder their luck.

“Enough, stop.”

Lin Zhentian could no longer sit still, his eyes filled with killing intent as he looked at Gu Qing.

Using only the power of his vital energy, he had suppressed Lin Chen, who had activated his Dragon Armor and was comparable to a Divine Sea Realm cultivator. Gu Qing’s strength far exceeded his expectations.

He couldn’t even imagine how Gu Qing could possess such terrifying vital energy.

Everyone present also looked at Gu Qing on the stage with shock.

“Is that a top-grade spirit artifact with an artifact spirit?”

“That’s right.”

“Gu Qing can actually suppress the Dragon Armor, which is comparable to a Divine Sea Realm, with just his vital energy?”

“Can a human possess such terrifying vital energy? Even divine beast cubs aren’t that exaggerated, are they?”

“I don’t know, I feel like I’m dreaming.”

Gu Qing’s vital energy had exceeded their understanding.

“Grand Elder, what’s going on with Lin Chen’s Dragon Armor and Gu Qing’s cultivation?”

Several elders of the Lin family, while shocked, asked the Grand Elder via sound transmission.

“This old man also doesn’t know. Let’s discuss this when we get back,” the Grand Elder shook his head, also looking bewildered.

“A Qing is so amazing. His vital energy is even stronger than mine. I really don’t know how A Qing did it.” Lin Chuqing’s eyes showed joy.

Then she frowned, looking at Lin Chen, who was forced to his knees, and thought, “Xiao Chen is too ignorant of his own limits. His temperament is arrogant. It’s good for A Qing to suppress his arrogance. If he still doesn’t change his ways, he will sooner or later bring about a calamity that will cost him his life.”

“Gu Qing, stop it now.”

Lin Zhentian roared, his aura exploding like an enraged lion.

Gu Qing completely disregarded his words. With such a good opportunity in front of him, he wouldn’t stop today until he had squeezed out all the luck from that dog Lin Chen.

He had no intention of raising Lin Chen.

After dealing with Lin Chen, he would deal with that old man Lin Zhentian.

Dare to scheme against him? Then he would have to pay the price.

[Ding, the Host has completely plundered all of Lin Chen’s luck. The system is currently plundering Lin Chen’s protagonist fate…]

[Plunder successful. Congratulations to the Host for acquiring one lottery draw chance. Would you like to draw now?]

“No draw for now.”

Gu Qing retracted his halberd, his gaze falling on Lin Chen’s door-panel greatsword. With a wave of his hand, he directly put it into his storage bag.

Perhaps it was due to his flourishing luck, but he had a very strong intuition that this door-panel greatsword was a treasure.

“Pfft!”

Lin Chen spewed a large mouthful of fresh blood, mentally and physically exhausted, and an inexplicable surge of enormous panic rose in his heart.

He felt as if he had completely lost the most important thing, feeling both empty and alarmed.

Seeing Gu Qing snatch away the door-panel greatsword, Lin Chen didn’t have time to think much and quickly got up, wanting to snatch it back.

“What are you doing?”

“Give me back my greatsword!”

Don’t let this door-panel greatsword’s unassuming appearance fool you, nor the fact that it couldn’t carry spiritual power, like a dead object.

But He Ni had told him that this was a complete Reincarnation Iron Mother, capable of forging a divine artifact.

Divine artifacts were the strongest magic treasures in the Barren Ancient Realm. A single wisp of their aura could shatter hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and rivers. Their terrifying power was enough to destroy heaven and earth, which showed how precious the door-panel greatsword was.

“Bang!”

Gu Qing unceremoniously kicked him away, lecturing him in the tone of a brother-in-law.

“You’ve been getting more and more reckless lately. You’re putting the Lin family on a hot stove to roast. Sooner or later, the entire Lin family will be implicated by you.”

“I’ll hold onto this weapon for you first. When you’ve reformed yourself, I’ll return it to you.”

“Pfft!”

“You…”

No matter how foolish Lin Chen was, how could he not understand the meaning of the four words “reformed yourself”?

This was outright robbery.

Lin Chen was so angry he spat blood and fainted.

“Patriarch, take him away!”

Gu Qing didn’t even want to pretend anymore.

His dislike for Lin Chen wasn’t a big deal.

After all, Lin Chen had been constantly courting death in front of him. It would be strange if he didn’t have some temper.

“You… hand over Chen’er’s weapon.”

Lin Zhentian’s aura erupted, using his power to suppress others.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze cold as he looked at Gu Qing.

“Patriarch, instead of worrying about such trivial matters, you should worry more about the family. The vast Lin family is almost ruined by you and your son.”

Gu Qing sneered.

“Bastard, are you accusing me?”

Lin Zhentian’s expression changed.

Although Gu Qing was speaking the truth, precisely because it was the truth, how could it be spoken aloud?

At this moment, Lin Zhentian harbored killing intent towards Gu Qing.

Previously, he had been wary of Lin Chuqing and dared not rashly target Gu Qing, but now he couldn’t care less.

Gu Qing had seriously threatened him and his son; he had no choice but to go all out.

“Just stating the facts. Who in the entire Maple Leaf City doesn’t know?”

Gu Qing retorted, showing no weakness.

“That’s right!”

“Lin Zhentian, you and your son are simply the scum of my Lin family.”

“My Lin family has fallen to this point entirely because of your good son and your indulgence. You are simply the eternal sinner of my Lin family.”

At this moment, several elders of the Lin family who had followed, flashed to Gu Qing’s front, pointing at Lin Zhentian’s nose and cursing him loudly.

“All of you, shut up.”

Lin Zhentian roared, his cultivation at the peak of Divine Sea Realm Ninth Stage fully erupting.

“Peak of Divine Sea Realm Ninth Stage?”

“Good heavens, Lin Zhentian, how many resources of the Lin family have you embezzled over the years?”

“Why did you conceal your cultivation?”

“Where did Lin Chen’s Dragon Armor come from?”

“What exactly are you trying to do?”

The elders froze for a moment, their eyes showing shock, then they became even more furious.

They knew Lin Zhentian’s aptitude very well. Without a great fortuitous encounter, it would be impossible for him to break through to the peak of Divine Sea Realm Ninth Stage.

However, Lin Zhentian had monopolized this opportunity, not intending to contribute it at all.

They carried the blame, while all the benefits went to this father and son.

The more they thought about it, the angrier they became.

“Hmph, this is not the place to talk. If there’s anything, we’ll discuss it when we get back.”

Lin Zhentian never expected that by merely trying to intimidate them with his cultivation, he would make things even worse.

Indeed, human hearts are treacherous.

But now was not the time to think about these things; saving Lin Chen was paramount.

He picked up Lin Chen and vanished in a flash.

A cold light flashed in Gu Qing’s eyes.

He thought he could show off in front of him and then just leave?

How could there be such a cheap thing in the world?

Gu Qing took Lin Chuqing and left the area, flying through the air.

“Sister Chuqing, do you know why Lin Chen insisted that I break off the engagement?”

“I… don’t know.”

Lin Chuqing actually already had a guess.

She believed that Lin Zhentian didn’t want her to marry, simply to better take care of Lin Chen.

But family shame should not be aired publicly. Such things were best kept to oneself, no need to speak them out loud.

“Because Lin Chen likes you, and you two are not actually biological siblings.”

“What?”

Lin Chuqing was struck as if by lightning.

Such an immoral thing, how could it be possible?

“You don’t believe it? It’s alright, I’ll make you believe it. We’ll go ask Lin Chen and we’ll know.”

To make Lin Chuqing completely abandon Lin Zhentian and his son, she had to see the ugly faces of Lin Zhentian and his son.

Gu Qing had a way to make Lin Chen, this brain-dead protagonist, admit it.

“Oh, and do you know why Lin Zhentian indulged Lin Chen in harming the Lin family?”

“These father and son are selfish and self-serving. They don’t care about the Lin family’s survival at all. They just want to go crazy one last time, and then leave Maple Leaf City for a broader world.”

Whether Lin Zhentian and his son actually thought this, Gu Qing didn’t know.

But Lin Zhentian and his son were indeed doing so.

So Gu Qing’s words were definitely not nonsense.

And what kind of person Lin Chuqing was, Gu Qing knew very well.

After all, they were childhood sweethearts, growing up together.

If Lin Chuqing and Lin Zhentian had the name of father and daughter, then the Lin family’s relationship with Lin Chuqing was one of upbringing and kindness.

That dog Lin Zhentian was very selfish and petty, keeping all the good things for Lin Chen.

Lin Chuqing, like him, had enjoyed family benefits since childhood.
