LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 1:
Chapter 1: Transmigrated:
“Lin Fan, how dare you! Hurry up and apologize to the Holy Son! Maybe if he’s in a good mood, he’ll spare your life!”
A deafening shout exploded through the sky. On the high platform, a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and a stern expression was scolding a tall, handsome young man below, who looked reluctant and unwilling.
Lu Tian opened his eyes in confusion, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings. Strange memories flooded his mind, along with the sound of a system activating.
[Ding! Host has been successfully delivered. Detected the Child of Destiny. Mission activated: Please slap the Child of Destiny in the face. Successful completion will reward a Newbie Gift Pack. Failure will result in no reward.]
As Lu Tian absorbed the memories, the system’s voice echoed in his mind. His confused gaze gradually cleared.
A system? So… he had transmigrated!
When he looked at Lin Fan standing below the platform, Lu Tian found the scene extremely familiar.
Wasn’t this the classic face-slapping plot from the web novels he used to read?
So, the young man below was the so-called Child of Destiny of this world? And his task was to slap him in the face?
Receiving the original owner’s memories, Lu Tian quickly understood the situation. The original owner had come down from the Upper Realm to the Lower Realm seeking opportunities.
After staying in the Sword Sect for a while, he became captivated by the cold and stunning beauty of the female lead. Every day, he tried to win her heart, hoping she would agree to return with him to the Upper Realm.
He had completely forgotten the true reason he came to the Lower Realm. As for the female lead, she treated the original owner coldly, speaking to him with nothing but icy disdain.
Despite this, the original owner kept clinging to her, giving her all his cultivation resources and following her everywhere like a shadow.
Wasn’t this the typical cannon-fodder male side character in novels? Someone who had great strength but, instead of using it, insisted on pursuing “mutual affection”?
The result was obvious — losing both love and resources. The female lead would give everything he offered to the male protagonist for cultivation. And once the male protagonist grew strong enough, he would slap the original owner’s face hard.
“Apologize? For what? Lu Tian, if you have the guts, come down and fight me! If I win, you must never approach Xue’er again. If I lose, you can deal with me however you like. Do you dare?”
Lin Fan shouted angrily from below the stage.
In the Sword Sect, among cultivators of the same realm, he had few rivals. Lu Tian looked young — at most seventeen years old.
With his ability to fight across realms, Lin Fan was extremely confident in facing Lu Tian.
He thought Lu Tian’s better background and resources gave him an advantage, but if they were truly at the same level, Lu Tian would not be his match.
In Lin Fan’s mind, Lu Tian was probably only at the Spirit King Realm.
“A duel? Heh, I just hope you won’t regret it,” Lu Tian smiled charmingly, though his gaze fell on the female lead, Murong Xue.
As the female lead, Murong Xue was without doubt the most beautiful woman in the Sword Sect. Her cold, proud aura added an air of mystery to her beauty. Like a flower growing on a high mountain peak, she was stunning yet untouchable.
Countless Sword Sect disciples dreamed of winning her favor, but Murong Xue’s unparalleled talent made her nearly unreachable. At such a young age, she had already reached the Spirit King Realm.
Murong Xue’s background was also shrouded in mystery. Even within the sect, few had ever seen her. Today’s appearance was a rare occasion.
Murong Xue and the male protagonist had a past — they had lived together in the Lin family for a while and shared beautiful memories. Her attitude toward him was different from her attitude toward other men.
She often gave him cultivation resources and always stepped in to help when he was in danger. As the male protagonist grew stronger, he gradually won her heart. Back at the Lin family, the elders often joked that the two were destined to be a couple. In Lin Fan’s heart, Murong Xue was already his woman.
“Lu Tian, come down and fight me!”
Lin Fan’s challenge was completely within Lu Tian’s expectations. In Lin Fan’s calm eyes, anger burned fiercely. He was determined to redeem himself today.
Lu Tian leapt down gracefully. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he landed lightly on the platform. Flying through the air — that was the mark of a Spirit King expert. Gasps of shock echoed through the crowd.
“A Spirit King expert? The Holy Son’s talent might even surpass Senior Sister Murong Xue! No wonder he’s the Holy Son!”
“Tch, that’s nothing. Don’t forget the Holy Son’s background! How could a nobody like Lin Fan ever be his match?”
“Exactly! A guy from a tiny family, so ignorant of the world! He dares to provoke the Holy Son? The Sword Sect won’t tolerate him.”
“How could Senior Sister Murong Xue have any connection to someone like that? Lin Fan is just a toad trying to eat swan meat. He should know his place.”
When Lu Tian first arrived at the Sword Sect, he had been so obsessed with Murong Xue that he paid no attention to anything else. The sect’s disciples had no idea how strong he really was.
Earlier, Lu Tian had been standing atop a Mystic Artifact. Lin Fan had foolishly assumed he was showing off to catch Murong Xue’s attention, never even considering that as the Holy Son, Lu Tian’s strength would be anything less than terrifying.
“You… you’re a Spirit King Realm expert…” Lin Fan stumbled back under the pressure of Lu Tian’s aura, his eyes full of disbelief.
Lu Tian smiled helplessly, his handsome face full of charm. “Something like that. So, are you really sure you want to challenge me?”
The male protagonist’s behavior left Lu Tian somewhat disappointed. This guy didn’t seem very smart… Was the Heavenly Dao drunk when it chose him to be the Child of Destiny?
After restarting his cultivation journey, Lin Fan had stumbled upon a powerful opportunity, giving him immense confidence. Among peers his age, he had defeated one opponent after another.
Lin Fan believed that if he had a little more time, Lu Tian would never be his match.
As the protagonist, Lin Fan couldn’t back down in front of Murong Xue. He frantically searched for a way to resist Lu Tian. Though Spirit King experts were powerful, he believed it wasn’t impossible to fight back.
Choosing to use one of his hidden cards, Lin Fan raised his head coldly and declared, “I, Lin Fan, will never take back my words. So what if you are a Spirit King Realm expert? For the sake of Xue’er, I will never back down!”
At this moment, many girls watching were deeply moved by Lin Fan’s words. Even Murong Xue’s icy heart wavered slightly.
She lowered her gaze, remembering the carefree days at the Lin family — days she would never forget. Lin Fan… her brother from the past.
“Good, not bad. You have courage. I admire that. Keep it up,”
Lu Tian laughed and even clapped his hands in amusement, like he was watching a good show.
In Lin Fan’s eyes, however, Lu Tian was mocking him. Enraged, Lin Fan gathered his spiritual power and charged fiercely at Lu Tian.
As Lin Fan’s speed increased, his spiritual energy spun and grew even stronger. In moments, a huge transparent spiritual energy ball formed in his hand and shot toward Lu Tian.
The disciples watching from below were shocked by Lin Fan’s displayed strength. Fearing the battle might affect them, they quickly retreated from the platform.
At the same time, on the high platform, the Sword Sect’s Sect Master, Jian Wuxin, narrowed his eyes sharply, staring at Lu Tian — who remained unharmed even after being struck by the spiritual energy ball, his entire body surrounded by a fierce aura.
