Chapter 4

  • "What condition..."
  • Tim couldn't help but ask.
  • "It's simple,"
  • Bowen replied indifferently, "Just take one move from me and let me vent my anger."
  • 'As expected!'
  • 'He wants to make my life worse than death!'
  • 'With my current mortal body, if I'm maimed by him, it really would be better to just die!'
  • Tim clenched his fists tightly, his hatred for Bowen growing deeper.
  • Not far away,
  • Adron and Clement's expressions changed as they hesitated to step forward, but ultimately couldn't bring themselves to do so.
  • An Upper Grade Clarity Awakening Pill was simply too precious!
  • "What?"
  • "Weren't you once the center of attention? Don't you have the courage to take just one move from me?"
  • The corner of Bowen's mouth curled into a cold, mocking smile.
  • "I... Accept!!!"
  • TIm roared quietly, knowing that he had no other choice at the moment.
  • "Good."
  • "I'll only use one finger."
  • Bowen nodded slightly and took a step towards Tim.
  • Tap tap tap...
  • The sound of footsteps seemed to strike Tim's chest like a hammer, his body tensing as cold sweat soaked his back.
  • The surrounding disciples looked at Tim with indifference.
  • Adron and Clement averted their eyes, unable to bear watching any longer.
  • The crowd seemed to envision Tim's even more miserable future.
  • At that moment,
  • Bowen raised his right hand and pointed a finger out into the air.
  • A circular stream of air burst from the tip of his finger, turning into a ripple the size of a basin and fiercely striking Tim's chest and abdomen.
  • Bang...!
  • Tim cried out in pain, his body flying backward and rolling three times on the ground before spitting out a mouthful of blood with a retch.
  • However, the surrounding disciples were all stunned.
  • They could easily tell that Bowenng hadn't struck with full force.
  • "What's going on?"Elder Bowen actually struck so lightly?"
  • "All that build-up, but the outcome is so mild!"
  • "With Adron and Clement already retreated, why doesn't Elder Bowen just beat Tim to the point of maiming him?"
  • "..."
  • The surrounding disciples stared wide-eyed at the scene, unable to believe what had just transpired.
  • Adron and Clement looked at Bowen with eyes filled with even greater gratitude.
  • "Alright, let's all disperse."
  • Bowen glanced at the crowd and offered a light smile.
  • Little did they know that as a villain, he was eager to be rid of Tim as soon as possible.
  • Unfortunately, due to his opponent's Son of Heavenly Fate status, he didn't dare to kill him outright.
  • His last condition for Tim was meant to suppress and injure him.
  • The outcome was indeed satisfying.
  • At that moment, the two system prompts from earlier still seemed to echo in Chih-Ming's mind:
  • [Ding! You have successfully injured protagonist Tim. Tim's Heavenly Fortune value is temporarily reduced by 100 points (the maximum Heavenly Fate Value remains unchanged) and will recover after the injury heals.]
  • [Ding! You have gained 200 points of Villain Value!]
  • 'Now the Villain Value is at 1100 points!'
  • 'It's time to open the System Mall and redeem treasures. The anticipation is so thrilling, I'd better return to my residence first, lest I can't help but burst into laughter later!'
  • With that thought in mind, Bowen suppressed his excitement, took a step forward, and soared off towards another mountain path.
  • Although a Spiritual Awakening Realm practitioner is already capable of flying through the air, doing so in their current realm consumes a significant amount of spiritual energy. As such, it is more efficient to fly by utilizing the force of the ground.
  • In the blink of an eye, Bowen arrived at the top of a cliff shrouded in clouds and mist.
  • A small pavilion with a courtyard had been constructed on the summit, serving as his residence.
  • He entered through the courtyard's protective formation.
  • "System!"
  • "Open the System Mall!"
  • Bowen arrived in the quiet room and immediately issued commands to the System in his mind.
  • [Ding! Your Villain Value has met the requirement; the System Mall is now open!]
  • [Ding! Congratulations on opening the System Mall. You have obtained the Heaven-Defying Fate Changer 'Villain's Eye'!]
  • [Ding! The current System Mall is Level 1. Accumulating 10,000 Black Heavenly Fate points will unlock the Level 2 Mall!]
  • [Ding! You have a Level 1 Mall Gift Pack*1 available for claim!]
  • "..."
  • With the system prompt, a pair of illusory panels, visible only to Bowen, materialized before him.
  • However, Bowen didn't have the energy to examine them at that moment.
  • Due to the fusion of the Heaven-Defying Fate Changer, Villain's Eye, his eyes were undergoing a dramatic transformation!
  • After a while, the change finally ceased.
  • "It's finally over!"
  • Bowen apprehensively took out a mirror.
  • Upon closer inspection, his eyes didn't appear to have changed at all; they looked exactly as they had before.
  • It was then that some information emerged in his mind.
  • [Villain's Eye: Capable of observing special status targets such as protagonists, heroines, quasi-heroines, supporting characters... Displays the basic information of the target.
  • The basic information includes their name, identity, and Heavenly Fate Value...]
  • "Wow!"
  • "With this, I'll be able to monitor the main character's Heavenly Fate Value!"
  • "When the protagonist's Heavenly Fate Value is weakened to the 'Decapitation Line,' I will be the first to know and seize the opportunity to eliminate him!"
  • "Moreover, I can also identify people who are close to the protagonist, discover more weaknesses through them, and prevent them from going undercover by my side."
  • "Tsk, this Villain's Eye is simply too powerful!"
  • Bowen rubbed his hands together in delight.
  • Unfortunately, there was no one around for him to test his new ability on.
  • So, he reluctantly set it aside for now and turned his attention to the System Mall panel.
  • The illusory panel had four sections: 'Cultivation Methods', 'Medicinal Pills & Elixirs', 'Artifacts', and 'Others'.
  • Although the current system was only at Level 1, all four categories were accessible!
  • "Level 1 System Mall."
  • "Even though it's Level 1, it's incredible... It's possible to exchange for Heavenly Origin Realm treasures at the highest level!"
  • Bowen's eyes widened as he gazed at the dazzling array of various treasures in the System Mall.
  • His heart raced, pounding like an ever-quickening drumbeat!
  • A Heavenly Origin Realm practitioner was already a formidable individual, capable of moving mountains and overturning seas. With a single strike, they could unleash devastating disasters at will.
