Sheng Tian looked at the black pearl and took it. He told Wei Lei that it is interesting and he wanted to test it out. But Wei Lei told him that even his family doesn't know a thing about it. But it was always placed in the treasury and was passed from generation to generation. But no one knew its use. It was mentioned in the Family records that their ancestor found it in some ruin. But he too didn't know what it would do.
It was a Useless item with a background. They tried everything they could, injecting energy, dripping blood, nothing really worked and they can't just break, right?
So it was there as trash to be thrown out. When Wei Lei heard that Sheng Tian wanted to take that, he felt happy that he practically lost nothing in this deal. He looked at Sheng Tian like he was a retard but didn't show it on the surface nor tell him the whole story behind the black pearl. Afterall if someone is doing your work for a stone, why would you enlighten him to work for gold?
Sheng Tian though 'It seemed like our Xiao Lian did something good at last.' He decided to treat her to a meal and let her eat until she is full.
After picking the treasure, he returned to his room. Sheng Tian closed the door. He took out the black pearl and mumbled " Is this it? The Legendary Plot Armor! My Cheat! haha, It seems I am destined to be the protagonist. Even If I sleep all day, the treasures would still land into my embrace. Is there someone who doesn't envy my luck.ha ha ha." he laughed like a beggar who got a lottery ticket, okay, a bit worse than that actually.
Before checking the pearl, he decided to treat Xiao Lian to a great meal since he is very hungry.
Sheng Tian called her and asked her if she could disguise herself so that she could have a meal with him.
Soon, she left his body and appeared at one of the corners of the empty streets. She had a disguise and looked like a normal girl and even dressed normally in a long white one-piece dress with pink flower designs and red edges. Sheng Tian bought this dress and said that she looks good on it. It reflects her nature. White for innocence and peace, Pink for naughtiness and mischief. and red for blood. Of course, he is not talking about the Inner garments *Cough* the clothes closest to a lady's body and the Dao of underwear which he is an expert at.
She walked towards Sheng Tian. Even though she made her look herself like a normal girl, Sheng Tian still felt an unprecedented aura and charm from her. He wondered maybe it was because of the lack of females in his life. *Cough* or maybe she was really special.
Sheng Tian held her hand and walked in the streets and entered the best restaurant in the city. He ordered 15 dishes. This can be considered his treat and a date. After all, they are both from Earth and this was the first thought they would get. Though Sheng Tian missed the food back on earth, he didn't really dwell on it, For he started to enjoy the cuisine here. After all, he wanted to enjoy the things he could. Why lament on something lost?.
It looked like a normal date from the view of Earthlings except for the abnormal amount of food they are having.
Sheng Tian and Xiao Lian sat face to face and began wolfing down without talking a single word. It seemed like the battle intent between the two was stimulated as they both stopped at once and stared at each other. They didn't say a word but sparks were formed in the air between them. The air turned heavy and they both looked like they were about to face an extremely strong Enemy. With the chopsticks as their bow, food as the arrow and stomach as the target, they decided to give it their all.
Sheng Tian looked at her and said: "If I win, call me Elder Brother for the whole day."
Xiao Lian too said at the same time "You will lose, so call me Big Sister for the whole day." She smirked. Now, There were sparks even in their eyes.
This is a matter of Prestige and honor. Did these two value it? Of course not. It was just an excuse to eat more and get the long-awaited title. By getting to be called as the Bigger one, it stimulated their desire to battle further.
The two have finished the dishes served and ordered 10 dishes each. The battle began.
The bowls were emptied, the chefs were stunned, but the battle continued without showing a sign of stopping with them ordering dish after dish and eating without batting an eye.
The restaurant staff looked at them strangely and they even began to doubt whether these two didn't eat for a month and are planning to finish a month's portion in a day. Some people who noticed these two hungry human-looking creatures lost their appetite and went home.
-------------After two hours------------
"Huff, Hua, haau, I won." they both said. Sheng Tian and Xiao Lian were both panting even though they are done eating or rather they can't eat anymore. Not because they are full, but they ate every dish many times that they started to disgust eating it. If they eat forcefully, they might throw up at the spot.
Even though cultivators can control their bodies, the bet was to do it without using any other methods.
Sheng Tian said resigning" It's a draw, dammit. Okay, I'm using Profound Energy now" he then directly converted the food to energy. Xiao Lian turned to him, ate one more meat piece, covered her mouth and quickly used Profound Energy, then she laughed proudly " hehe, I ate more. So, I won."
Sheng Tian face twitched as he said "That was Cheating. We agreed that it was a draw." but she replied" When did I say so? Now, little Brother, acknowledge your status and call me Big sister"
This has been something both never agreed. Sheng Tian said that he was 17 before coming here so he should be the big one and the one to make decisions. But she retorted that his body is only 15 and also, she reincarnated when she was 16. So her overall life experience is longer than him. But Sheng Tian countered that she still has not grown beyond 16 despite experiencing two lives. Both wanted the position of seniority. This argument never came to an end.
Sheng Tian saw her acting proud and mighty, he smirked and stayed silent. Does this missy think she can throw her weight around? Sorry, the one here is the almighty protagonist with ridiculous cheats and super thick plot armor.
He asked innocently " Why should I call you so?" she replied angrily " Wasn't that our bet?"
He replied in the same innocent tone " What bet?" " We just had a bet before, you lose so call me big sister"
He replied, " When did I say so?" Xiao Lian recalled that she used the same excuse to win the bet. Her face turned red with embarrassment. The two bickered with each other for some quite time before Sheng Tian turned a bit serious and asked: " What was it about that Pearl?" she replied " I don't know, but I felt that it should be special. Something along the lines of a Soul, I Guess. We have to check it out."
Sheng Tian mood dropped instantly " Shouldn't you be saying something like ' How can this be here? The Heaven Defying Treasure!!! It cannot even be found in the Divine World and was only heard in myths. Everyone thought that it was lost. Sheng Tian, you are very lucky to find this by chance so easily. Even I am jealous of your luck. This pearl can help you get Overpowered super fast. Wow, You will be the MC of the World.!' or something like that. "
Xiao Lian stared at him for a good while before she laughed uncontrollably, after 5 minutes, she looked at his expression and said " You wish! Hahaha. Heaven Defying Treasure! Overpowered! Sorry, that was a really good joke. You should start writing novels and publish them here. Haha, what is your mind even thinking? Pick a rock and want it to be gold? haha. and me, jealous of your luck. "
She stood up and patted his shoulders and said in a consoling yet mocking manner: "haha, Just make sure that your misfortune doesn't affect me." saying so, she laughed once again recalling his expression and exaggeration earlier and walked off.
Sheng Tian paid and quickly caught up to her. He held her hand once again and was slowly rubbing it, earning a glare from her. But she didn't stop him and he didn't go any further other than that. Enjoying the smooth sensation of her hand, He looked at the black pearl in his pocket and thought
"If this thing is not good enough, I will burn it out. This concerns my luck as the protagonist and my Overpoweredness in this world. The biggest power of a Protagonist is not his cultivation or backing or treasures, it is his luck. It can be his thickest plot armour. Luck makes a protagonist live or die, oh yeah, along with reincarnating and transmigrating."
Xiao Lian returned to his body and he returned to his room. After informing others to not disturb him and Xiao Lian set a barrier. Sheng Tian took out the Black Pearl as he sat on his bed. It shook once again.
Earlier, when he was eating, it shook from time to time but he ignored it. Now, it shook again, he held it tightly and said, " I am your master. Are you trying to rebel? Do you dare...." He used his classic lines and slowly the pearl calmed down.
Sheng Tian used Primal Origin Tree to check the situation with the pearl. Then he sensed a large amount of Energy inside it, he absorbed it without restraint and it was absorbed continuously for one hour, after that Cracks formed on it.
The energy from the pearl was pure, rich and dense. It was grades above than what was usually available in this world. Sheng Tian broke through to the 4th level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He estimated that he might take a long time to break through, but it just took an hour with that energy. Boom, there was a flash of light, the pearl turned to dust and Xiao Lian reflexively covered Sheng Tian with a Barrier.
After the flash of light faded, a transparent bodied old man was seen. Sheng Tian who saw this was incredibly happy but the old man, on the other hand, had an expression as if his wife has cuckolded him.
Sheng Tian was too happy as he thought ' Is this the legendary Spirit Advisor who is actually legit. Is he the "grandpa" in the Xianxia? First, he will give me all his knowledge, then some treasures, then train me well, then he might as well give his lovely granddaughter to me to take care of. Hahaha." He began to chuckle in delight.
Sheng Tian looked at him and said" Hello, Grandpa. I know that you are looking for someone like me to inherit your legacy. Don't worry, I will make you proud and about your granddaughter, I will take care of her. Leave it to me. Now then, when do you plan on teaching me?" he had stars in his eyes as he spoke.
This is the legendary "Grandpa" of the novels we are talking about, is there anything he doesn't know? He was a peerless expert in the past but was betrayed or lost in the war or something happened and he took rest in the pearl, now he will help Sheng Tian ascend the heaven in one step if not two. Then who would dare act cocky in front of Sheng Tian?
He got a teacher who will give cultivation techniques, knowledge, treasures and last but the most important, a super hot and beautiful granddaughter who potentially has no one to rely on to him and ask him to take care of her for the rest of her life. Wow, It seems like his luck has broken through realms continuously.
But when he heard this, the Old man's body trembled uncontrollably, he pointed his finger at Sheng Tian and said " YOU. YOU. Bastard, you want my granddaughter? You dare..? "
It seems that he has a granddaughter, wow. Xiao Lian's anxious voice sounded in his mind " Something is wrong. He seems very angry and also his soul seems feeble."
Sheng Tian however confidently replied to her " hehe, he is a peerless expert. He is testing my courage. As for his soul, I think he has great cultivation and is faking it. "
He looked at the old man whose body was turning fainter by the second and said with full confidence and righteousness "I dare! Leave your granddaughter to me. And why are you like this, Old Man. I will take revenge for you. Teach me everything you know so that I'm strong enough to take revenge. I won't leave that bastard who made you like this."
The Old Man felt that he was being mocked as those words came from Sheng Tian, he said enraged "You bastard. If not for you, Why would I have to die now? Aaah, I will take you to the grave with me, Die" as he said those words, his expression turned into fury while Sheng Tian and Xiao Lian's expression turned into confusion and shock.
Sheng Tian felt that his mind was blown off. What the Fuck just happened? He was the one killing the Old Man? Fuck the....!
A shocking amount of Profound Energy gathered in the room and a palm attack was blasted at Sheng Tian. The Attack was abnormally fast, all he could do was look at the attack formed from the last of the Energies from the Old Man's soul.
Sheng Tian felt that the plot was getting ridiculous at this point. The Grandpa who had to teach him everything under the heavens was attacking him and He was told that he was the reason the Grandpa is going to meet his creator.
Sheng Tian had a sudden urge to laugh and cry looking at this crazy dude. But death's shadow was looming over faster than light. He could neither evade it nor was he strong enough to block it. As he was about to face certain death, A pinkish white barrier appeared in front of him. Sheng Tian saw the barrier break and rebuild itself countless times till the Attack was neutralized.
The Old Man looked at Sheng Tian and said in a low but dignified tone " You Bastard! I still didn't get my revenge and now I have to die. Aaah! You will die badly" His voice grew weaker and weaker, while his soul became more and more fade with each second.
The Old Man's Soul dissipated, however, Sheng Tian did not feel happy at all. What the fuck was that? But before he could curse out loud, he heard a pained groan. He looked to the side to discover
Xiao Lian who protected him all this time, suffering from the backlash of the poison.
Looking at her pained expression, his heart hurt. He took her into his arms and made her sit on his lap. He injected Profound Energy without holding back, the poison was slowly suppressed with their combined efforts.
After four hours, Sheng Tian wiped the cold sweat and looked at the girl in front of him tenderly. Compared to four hours ago, now she was much better and not feeling pain. At least, she is ok.
Sheng Tian felt really bad about this. Who knew that the plot would bite back. That supposed to be omniscience Grandpa Teacher acted like a villain. If this doesn't go against the plot and cliches, what will?
Sheng Tian threw that at the back of his mind and gently stroked her hair, and kissed her forehead, looking into her eyes he said with a guilty expression " I'm sorry. I am not strong enough and brought you troubles."
After all, they both didn't know that this would happen. Even if he didn't do it on purpose, he brought her pain and trouble. If he was strong enough, it will all be alright and he can protect her.
Xiao Lian felt very happy with the care even though the pain she felt earlier was terrible, She gave a chuckle and nudged him in the chest and said in a naughty and teasing tone to ease the guilt he was feeling and also to joke at him: "It's alright, but your luck is so great that even heavens are envious of you. Hahaha."
Seeing her being usual, he relaxed. He poked her nose and said " Girl, It was you who said that the pearl was special. I think it is your immense luck which made the heavens envious. hehe"
She said in a haughty tone " Che, not talking to you. But seriously, why did we have to go through this? And don't forget, your life was saved by me. So, your life belongs to this Young Miss."
He said humbly " Young Miss, to repay this life saying deed, This humble one doesn't have anything to give you, how about I repay you with my body?' his eyes shone with expectation.
She pushed him away and said "You! Who wants your body? I'm going back. I need some time to use profound Energy again without it backfiring." And said, " And Be careful, after all, this miss can't help you for now."
Sheng Tian nodded and said "As long as I depend on my own luck, there will be no troubles. Hai, But see, I have Lady Bad Luck with me!"
Xiao Lian who was ready to leave heard this and gave him a tight pinch on his waist and he nearly screamed. She left with her signature mischievous smile.
The Isolation barrier Xiao Lian arranged at the beginning to keep things happening in the room unknown to outside dissipated by now.
Sheng Tian didn't know what to do. There was a duel tomorrow but it was not a duel to death anyway.
What actually happened was the black pearl was indeed a treasure that could contain and heal souls slowly by its special formation and energy. Profound Energy from a person outside can only enter bit by bit into the pearl. So if one wanted to break the restrictions of the outside world to the soul inside, he has to provide Energy for a long time, and then the soul will be strengthened bit by bit to the point where it can finally appear freely in the world. That's the deal in the usual cases.
Sheng Tian's Profound Energy was special and the pearl wanted it. So, it was restless and shook from time to time. But instead of supplying the Energy, Sheng Tian used the Primal Origin Tree to probe the situation in the pearl. Naturally, when Primal Origin Tree found some pure and rich energy, it wanted to devour it right away. Sensing the intention of the Primal Origin Tree, Sheng Tian let it suck out the energy.
But the problem was it started absorbing even the life force of the Old Foggy and his soul started to slowly fade, So, he could only break the restrictions forcefully but by that time, the majority of his energy and life force was gone. It was his time to have a face to face talk with Hades. (Greek God of Death)
Thinking that his opponent will not let him live any longer, he decided to take him down with him.
So, using all his Energy and life Force, he gave his final blow for it only to be blocked by Xiao Lian. He wanted to cry but had no tears. No one to pass his legacy to, No one to take revenge. As such, his life came to an end. What a Pitiful Bastard.
Sheng Tian who didn't know the great deed he just did was cursing the Old Bastard for being Unreasonable and Stupid. Why would the Old Bastard want to attack him even more so when he knows that attack takes his life away? Why did he claim that I was responsible for his death? He didn't even give an explanation, Was he a retard? He didn't wish to kill the Old Foggy but that Old Bastard was eager to die and attacked him with the last of his powers. What can he even do except to send him off grandly? Maybe he will fire some crackers and throw a party for his death. Sheng Tian said goodbyes to the Pitiful and unreasonable Old Fellow.
If the Old Man heard that he was being unreasonable, then he will probably come back to life with hate for revenge. How was he being unreasonable? It should be impossible for someone from outside to take the energy from inside, but it actually happened today for the first time in history. Primal Origin Tree ignored all the restrictions and directly started devouring the Energy. His life force in his soul was also sucked away. How would he think that the other person did it without any malice?
Sheng Tian calmed his mind and said like a monk who has been through the vicissitudes of life " 'to die is to be born again'. Who knows, maybe he will be reborn and become a minor protagonist as well. After all, Death is not the end of everything, it might just be the beginning for him." He even sighed according to his role.
Anyway, he will just treat is an unforgettable memory which he really wants to forget. Bye, Bye Old Bastard.

Sheng Tian looked at the black pearl and took it. He told Wei Lei that it is interesting and he wanted to test it out. But Wei Lei told him that even his family doesn't know a thing about it.

My Cheat! haha, It seems I am destined to be the protagonist. Even If I sleep all day, the treasures would still land into my embrace. Is there someone who doesn't envy my luck.ha ha ha." he laughed like a beggar who got a lottery ticket, okay, a bit worse than that actually.
Before checking the pearl, he decided to treat Xiao Lian to a great meal since he is very hungry.
Sheng Tian called her and asked her if she could disguise herself so that she could have a meal with him.
Soon, she left his body and appeared at one of the corners of the empty streets.

After all, they both didn't know that this would happen. Even if he didn't do it on purpose, he brought her pain and trouble. If he was strong enough, it will all be alright and he can protect her.
Xiao Lian felt very happy with the care even though the pain she felt earlier was terrible, She gave a chuckle and nudged him in the chest and said in a naughty and teasing tone to ease the guilt he was feeling and also to joke at him: "It's alright, but your luck is so great that even heavens are envious of you. Hahaha."
Seeing her being usual, he relaxed. He poked her nose and said " Girl, It was you who said that the pearl was special. I think it is your immense luck which made the heavens envious. hehe"
She said in a haughty tone " Che, not talking to you. But seriously, why did we have to go through this? And don't forget, your life was saved by me. So, your life belongs to this Young Miss."
He said humbly " Young Miss, to repay this life saying deed, This humble one doesn't have anything to give you, how about I repay you with my body?' his eyes shone with expectation.
She pushed him away and said "You! Who wants your body? I'm going back. I need some time to use profound Energy again without it backfiring." And said, " And Be careful, after all, this miss can't help you for now."
Sheng Tian nodded and said "As long as I depend on my own luck, there will be no troubles. Hai, But see, I have Lady Bad Luck with me!"
Xiao Lian who was ready to leave heard this and gave him a tight pinch on his waist and he nearly screamed. She left with her signature mischievous smile.
The Isolation barrier Xiao Lian arranged at the beginning to keep things happening in the room unknown to outside dissipated by now.
Sheng Tian didn't know what to do. There was a duel tomorrow but it was not a duel to death anyway.
What actually happened was the black pearl was indeed a treasure that could contain and heal souls slowly by its special formation and energy. Profound Energy from a person outside can only enter bit by bit into the pearl. So if one wanted to break the restrictions of the outside world to the soul inside, he has to provide Energy for a long time, and then the soul will be strengthened bit by bit to the point where it can finally appear freely in the world. That's the deal in the usual cases.
Sheng Tian's Profound Energy was special and the pearl wanted it. So, it was restless and shook from time to time. But instead of supplying the Energy, Sheng Tian used the Primal Origin Tree to probe the situation in the pearl. Naturally, when Primal Origin Tree found some pure and rich energy, it wanted to devour it right away. Sensing the intention of the Primal Origin Tree, Sheng Tian let it suck out the energy.
But the problem was it started absorbing even the life force of the Old Foggy and his soul started to slowly fade, So, he could only break the restrictions forcefully but by that time, the majority of his energy and life force was gone. It was his time to have a face to face talk with Hades. (Greek God of Death)
Thinking that his opponent will not let him live any longer, he decided to take him down with him.
So, using all his Energy and life Force, he gave his final blow for it only to be blocked by Xiao Lian. He wanted to cry but had no tears. No one to pass his legacy to, No one to take revenge. As such, his life came to an end. What a Pitiful Bastard.
Sheng Tian who didn't know the great deed he just did was cursing the Old Bastard for being Unreasonable and Stupid. Why would the Old Bastard want to attack him even more so when he knows that attack takes his life away? Why did he claim that I was responsible for his death? He didn't even give an explanation, Was he a retard? He didn't wish to kill the Old Foggy but that Old Bastard was eager to die and attacked him with the last of his powers. What can he even do except to send him off grandly? Maybe he will fire some crackers and throw a party for his death. Sheng Tian said goodbyes to the Pitiful and unreasonable Old Fellow.
If the Old Man heard that he was being unreasonable, then he will probably come back to life with hate for revenge. How was he being unreasonable? It should be impossible for someone from outside to take the energy from inside, but it actually happened today for the first time in history. Primal Origin Tree ignored all the restrictions and directly started devouring the Energy. His life force in his soul was also sucked away. How would he think that the other person did it without any malice?
Sheng Tian calmed his mind and said like a monk who has been through the vicissitudes of life " 'to die is to be born again'. Who knows, maybe he will be reborn and become a minor protagonist as well. After all, Death is not the end of everything, it might just be the beginning for him." He even sighed according to his role.
Anyway, he will just treat is an unforgettable memory which he really wants to forget. Bye, Bye Old Bastard.
Sheng Tian looked at the black pearl and took it. He told Wei Lei that it is interesting and he wanted to test it out. But Wei Lei told him that even his family doesn't know a thing about it. But it was always placed in the treasury and was passed from generation to generation. But no one knew its use. It was mentioned in the Family records that their ancestor found it in some ruin. But he too didn't know what it would do.It was a Useless item with a background. They tried everything they could, injecting energy, dripping blood, nothing really worked and they can't just break, right?So it was there as trash to be thrown out. When Wei Lei heard that Sheng Tian wanted to take that, he felt happy that he practically lost nothing in this deal. He looked at Sheng Tian like he was a retard but didn't show it on the surface nor tell him the whole story behind the black pearl. Afterall if someone is doing your work for a stone, why would you enlighten him to work for gold?Sheng Tian though 'It seemed like our Xiao Lian did something good at last.' He decided to treat her to a meal and let her eat until she is full.After picking the treasure, he returned to his room. Sheng Tian closed the door. He took out the black pearl and mumbled " Is this it? The Legendary Plot Armor! My Cheat! haha, It seems I am destined to be the protagonist. Even If I sleep all day, the treasures would still land into my embrace. Is there someone who doesn't envy my luck.ha ha ha." he laughed like a beggar who got a lottery ticket, okay, a bit worse than that actually.Before checking the pearl, he decided to treat Xiao Lian to a great meal since he is very hungry.Sheng Tian called her and asked her if she could disguise herself so that she could have a meal with him.Soon, she left his body and appeared at one of the corners of the empty streets. She had a disguise and looked like a normal girl and even dressed normally in a long white one-piece dress with pink flower designs and red edges. Sheng Tian bought this dress and said that she looks good on it. It reflects her nature. White for innocence and peace, Pink for naughtiness and mischief. and red for blood. Of course, he is not talking about the Inner garments *Cough* the clothes closest to a lady's body and the Dao of underwear which he is an expert at.She walked towards Sheng Tian. Even though she made her look herself like a normal girl, Sheng Tian still felt an unprecedented aura and charm from her. He wondered maybe it was because of the lack of females in his life. *Cough* or maybe she was really special.Sheng Tian held her hand and walked in the streets and entered the best restaurant in the city. He ordered 15 dishes. This can be considered his treat and a date. After all, they are both from Earth and this was the first thought they would get. Though Sheng Tian missed the food back on earth, he didn't really dwell on it, For he started to enjoy the cuisine here. After all, he wanted to enjoy the things he could. Why lament on something lost?.It looked like a normal date from the view of Earthlings except for the abnormal amount of food they are having.Sheng Tian and Xiao Lian sat face to face and began wolfing down without talking a single word. It seemed like the battle intent between the two was stimulated as they both stopped at once and stared at each other. They didn't say a word but sparks were formed in the air between them. The air turned heavy and they both looked like they were about to face an extremely strong Enemy. With the chopsticks as their bow, food as the arrow and stomach as the target, they decided to give it their all.Sheng Tian looked at her and said: "If I win, call me Elder Brother for the whole day."Xiao Lian too said at the same time "You will lose, so call me Big Sister for the whole day." She smirked. Now, There were sparks even in their eyes.This is a matter of Prestige and honor. Did these two value it? Of course not. It was just an excuse to eat more and get the long-awaited title. By getting to be called as the Bigger one, it stimulated their desire to battle further.The two have finished the dishes served and ordered 10 dishes each. The battle began.The bowls were emptied, the chefs were stunned, but the battle continued without showing a sign of stopping with them ordering dish after dish and eating without batting an eye.The restaurant staff looked at them strangely and they even began to doubt whether these two didn't eat for a month and are planning to finish a month's portion in a day. Some people who noticed these two hungry human-looking creatures lost their appetite and went home.-------------After two hours------------"Huff, Hua, haau, I won." they both said. Sheng Tian and Xiao Lian were both panting even though they are done eating or rather they can't eat anymore. Not because they are full, but they ate every dish many times that they started to disgust eating it. If they eat forcefully, they might throw up at the spot.Even though cultivators can control their bodies, the bet was to do it without using any other methods.Sheng Tian said resigning" It's a draw, dammit. Okay, I'm using Profound Energy now" he then directly converted the food to energy. Xiao Lian turned to him, ate one more meat piece, covered her mouth and quickly used Profound Energy, then she laughed proudly " hehe, I ate more. So, I won."Sheng Tian face twitched as he said "That was Cheating. We agreed that it was a draw." but she replied" When did I say so? Now, little Brother, acknowledge your status and call me Big sister"This has been something both never agreed. Sheng Tian said that he was 17 before coming here so he should be the big one and the one to make decisions. But she retorted that his body is only 15 and also, she reincarnated when she was 16. So her overall life experience is longer than him. But Sheng Tian countered that she still has not grown beyond 16 despite experiencing two lives. Both wanted the position of seniority. This argument never came to an end.Sheng Tian saw her acting proud and mighty, he smirked and stayed silent. Does this missy think she can throw her weight around? Sorry, the one here is the almighty protagonist with ridiculous cheats and super thick plot armor.He asked innocently " Why should I call you so?" she replied angrily " Wasn't that our bet?"He replied in the same innocent tone " What bet?" " We just had a bet before, you lose so call me big sister"He replied, " When did I say so?" Xiao Lian recalled that she used the same excuse to win the bet. Her face turned red with embarrassment. The two bickered with each other for some quite time before Sheng Tian turned a bit serious and asked: " What was it about that Pearl?" she replied " I don't know, but I felt that it should be special. Something along the lines of a Soul, I Guess. We have to check it out."Sheng Tian mood dropped instantly " Shouldn't you be saying something like ' How can this be here? The Heaven Defying Treasure!!! It cannot even be found in the Divine World and was only heard in myths. Everyone thought that it was lost. Sheng Tian, you are very lucky to find this by chance so easily. Even I am jealous of your luck. This pearl can help you get Overpowered super fast. Wow, You will be the MC of the World.!' or something like that. "Xiao Lian stared at him for a good while before she laughed uncontrollably, after 5 minutes, she looked at his expression and said " You wish! Hahaha. Heaven Defying Treasure! Overpowered! Sorry, that was a really good joke. You should start writing novels and publish them here. Haha, what is your mind even thinking? Pick a rock and want it to be gold? haha. and me, jealous of your luck. "She stood up and patted his shoulders and said in a consoling yet mocking manner: "haha, Just make sure that your misfortune doesn't affect me." saying so, she laughed once again recalling his expression and exaggeration earlier and walked off.Sheng Tian paid and quickly caught up to her. He held her hand once again and was slowly rubbing it, earning a glare from her. But she didn't stop him and he didn't go any further other than that. Enjoying the smooth sensation of her hand, He looked at the black pearl in his pocket and thought"If this thing is not good enough, I will burn it out. This concerns my luck as the protagonist and my Overpoweredness in this world. The biggest power of a Protagonist is not his cultivation or backing or treasures, it is his luck. It can be his thickest plot armour. Luck makes a protagonist live or die, oh yeah, along with reincarnating and transmigrating."Xiao Lian returned to his body and he returned to his room. After informing others to not disturb him and Xiao Lian set a barrier. Sheng Tian took out the Black Pearl as he sat on his bed. It shook once again.Earlier, when he was eating, it shook from time to time but he ignored it. Now, it shook again, he held it tightly and said, " I am your master. Are you trying to rebel? Do you dare...." He used his classic lines and slowly the pearl calmed down.Sheng Tian used Primal Origin Tree to check the situation with the pearl. Then he sensed a large amount of Energy inside it, he absorbed it without restraint and it was absorbed continuously for one hour, after that Cracks formed on it.The energy from the pearl was pure, rich and dense. It was grades above than what was usually available in this world. Sheng Tian broke through to the 4th level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He estimated that he might take a long time to break through, but it just took an hour with that energy. Boom, there was a flash of light, the pearl turned to dust and Xiao Lian reflexively covered Sheng Tian with a Barrier.After the flash of light faded, a transparent bodied old man was seen. Sheng Tian who saw this was incredibly happy but the old man, on the other hand, had an expression as if his wife has cuckolded him.Sheng Tian was too happy as he thought ' Is this the legendary Spirit Advisor who is actually legit. Is he the "grandpa" in the Xianxia? First, he will give me all his knowledge, then some treasures, then train me well, then he might as well give his lovely granddaughter to me to take care of. Hahaha." He began to chuckle in delight.Sheng Tian looked at him and said" Hello, Grandpa. I know that you are looking for someone like me to inherit your legacy. Don't worry, I will make you proud and about your granddaughter, I will take care of her. Leave it to me. Now then, when do you plan on teaching me?" he had stars in his eyes as he spoke.This is the legendary "Grandpa" of the novels we are talking about, is there anything he doesn't know? He was a peerless expert in the past but was betrayed or lost in the war or something happened and he took rest in the pearl, now he will help Sheng Tian ascend the heaven in one step if not two. Then who would dare act cocky in front of Sheng Tian?He got a teacher who will give cultivation techniques, knowledge, treasures and last but the most important, a super hot and beautiful granddaughter who potentially has no one to rely on to him and ask him to take care of her for the rest of her life. Wow, It seems like his luck has broken through realms continuously.But when he heard this, the Old man's body trembled uncontrollably, he pointed his finger at Sheng Tian and said " YOU. YOU. Bastard, you want my granddaughter? You dare..? "It seems that he has a granddaughter, wow. Xiao Lian's anxious voice sounded in his mind " Something is wrong. He seems very angry and also his soul seems feeble."Sheng Tian however confidently replied to her " hehe, he is a peerless expert. He is testing my courage. As for his soul, I think he has great cultivation and is faking it. "He looked at the old man whose body was turning fainter by the second and said with full confidence and righteousness "I dare! Leave your granddaughter to me. And why are you like this, Old Man. I will take revenge for you. Teach me everything you know so that I'm strong enough to take revenge. I won't leave that bastard who made you like this."The Old Man felt that he was being mocked as those words came from Sheng Tian, he said enraged "You bastard. If not for you, Why would I have to die now? Aaah, I will take you to the grave with me, Die" as he said those words, his expression turned into fury while Sheng Tian and Xiao Lian's expression turned into confusion and shock.Sheng Tian felt that his mind was blown off. What the Fuck just happened? He was the one killing the Old Man? Fuck the....!A shocking amount of Profound Energy gathered in the room and a palm attack was blasted at Sheng Tian. The Attack was abnormally fast, all he could do was look at the attack formed from the last of the Energies from the Old Man's soul.Sheng Tian felt that the plot was getting ridiculous at this point. The Grandpa who had to teach him everything under the heavens was attacking him and He was told that he was the reason the Grandpa is going to meet his creator.Sheng Tian had a sudden urge to laugh and cry looking at this crazy dude. But death's shadow was looming over faster than light. He could neither evade it nor was he strong enough to block it. As he was about to face certain death, A pinkish white barrier appeared in front of him. Sheng Tian saw the barrier break and rebuild itself countless times till the Attack was neutralized.The Old Man looked at Sheng Tian and said in a low but dignified tone " You Bastard! I still didn't get my revenge and now I have to die. Aaah! You will die badly" His voice grew weaker and weaker, while his soul became more and more fade with each second.The Old Man's Soul dissipated, however, Sheng Tian did not feel happy at all. What the fuck was that? But before he could curse out loud, he heard a pained groan. He looked to the side to discoverXiao Lian who protected him all this time, suffering from the backlash of the poison.Looking at her pained expression, his heart hurt. He took her into his arms and made her sit on his lap. He injected Profound Energy without holding back, the poison was slowly suppressed with their combined efforts.After four hours, Sheng Tian wiped the cold sweat and looked at the girl in front of him tenderly. Compared to four hours ago, now she was much better and not feeling pain. At least, she is ok.Sheng Tian felt really bad about this. Who knew that the plot would bite back. That supposed to be omniscience Grandpa Teacher acted like a villain. If this doesn't go against the plot and cliches, what will?Sheng Tian threw that at the back of his mind and gently stroked her hair, and kissed her forehead, looking into her eyes he said with a guilty expression " I'm sorry. I am not strong enough and brought you troubles."After all, they both didn't know that this would happen. Even if he didn't do it on purpose, he brought her pain and trouble. If he was strong enough, it will all be alright and he can protect her.Xiao Lian felt very happy with the care even though the pain she felt earlier was terrible, She gave a chuckle and nudged him in the chest and said in a naughty and teasing tone to ease the guilt he was feeling and also to joke at him: "It's alright, but your luck is so great that even heavens are envious of you.

And said, " And Be careful, after all, this miss can't help you for now."Sheng Tian nodded and said "As long as I depend on my own luck, there will be no troubles. Hai, But see, I have Lady Bad Luck with me!"Xiao Lian who was ready to leave heard this and gave him a tight pinch on his waist and he nearly screamed. She left with her signature mischievous smile.The Isolation barrier Xiao Lian arranged at the beginning to keep things happening in the room unknown to outside dissipated by now.Sheng Tian didn't know what to do.
