Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 183 The System That Makes You Kneel Instantly

"What?" Feng Shanming was taken aback, but still stopped himself from backing away.

Then, he was struck squarely.

The power of the lightning tribulation instantly penetrated his entire body. He felt as if he had been torn apart by a powerful force, and the pain was so intense that he could not stand up at all. He rolled on the ground, vomiting blood as if it were free.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

"Student Feng!" The judges were also shocked. Although they had encountered breakthroughs in previous competitions, this was the first time they had seen someone break through from the Nascent Soul stage to the Deity Transformation stage directly. Moreover, this student was only in the mid-Nascent Soul stage before, yet he broke through several minor and major realms in a row. They didn't know if it was good luck or bad luck. Furthermore, wasn't this student's tolerance for tribulation lightning too low? He was already exhausted after only two lightning strikes...

The judges didn't have time to think much; after all, he was a student from the Federation, and they couldn't just ignore him. They could only stand outside the arena, working together to set up an array to help him withstand the lightning tribulation, while loudly reminding him of the precautions for the tribulation, "Student Feng, remember to maintain your composure, guard your mind, and circulate all your spiritual power to block the lightning tribulation."

Unfortunately, Feng Shanming completely ignored their warnings. The pain throughout his body had robbed him of all reason, and his only focus was on calling the system. "System! What's going on? Didn't you say you had blocked the heavenly secrets? Why is there still a tribulation of lightning? System!"

Unfortunately, no matter how he called out, there was no response in his mind, as if the system that had been communicating with him through his consciousness had never existed.

Feng Shanming went from being angry and accusing to being furious and irritable. After receiving no response for a long time, he was filled with great panic.

"System! Speak to me! Where are you? Don't scare me, System..."

His face grew paler and paler, and he didn't even care that there were people around him. He opened his mouth and shouted, searching around.

Boom!

Unfortunately, his voice was directly drowned out by the thunderous lightning bolts that roared down from the sky, each one stronger than the last, their booming sounds echoing through the heavens.

"Master?" Juanshan glanced at her, his questioning intent clear.

Qiu Ci nodded slightly, "Let's go back to the hotel first."

She now understood. Feng Shanming had just used the system to directly advance to the Nascent Soul stage, and was supposed to undergo the Nascent Soul tribulation. But she didn't know how the system had done it, but it had temporarily shielded him from the heavenly secrets, preventing the tribulation from arriving immediately.

However, since the dog system swallowed his system, the previous shielding naturally became ineffective, which is why the lightning tribulation was so eager to strike.

The sudden lightning strike naturally interrupted the normal competition, making it impossible to continue the match today. The venue staff began to arrange for the players and spectators to leave the venue one by one.

As the instructor, Qiu Ci naturally found her students immediately and organized everyone to return to the hotel to await arrangements after the tribulation. Moreover, since the students undergoing the tribulation this time were from Yizhong City, two instructors were left behind to handle Feng Shanming's matter.

Qiu Ci naturally led the students back to the hotel safely, gave them some instructions, and then went back to his room.

Old Man Juanshan was already waiting inside the house, and he even helped set up several layers of isolation arrays before looking at the ball of light that she had been holding in her hand.

"Lord Star, have you already captured that system?"

"Of course! With this system at your disposal, it's a piece of cake." The little ball of light proudly puffed out its round belly. "It's already completely uninstalled!" "As expected of the Star Envoy." Old Man Juanshan gave it a thumbs up.

"Alright!" Qiu Ci threw the dog system onto the table and said in a deep voice, "You should be able to control it now, right? Let it out first, I need to ask it some questions."

【Master, wait a moment... Chew, chew, chew... I'm still digesting its energy... Chew, chew, chew... In a little while... Chew, chew, chew... It'll all be digested... Chew, chew, chew...】

"Leave some for them," Qiu Ci reminded him. "What am I supposed to do if you eat it all?"

[Okay, Master, sob sob sob...chew a little more...] The little ball of light finally opened its mouth with a reluctant "ah," and pulled out a clump of something from its body with two thin threads, then handed it to her.

Upon closer inspection, Qiu Ci discovered a transparent card, less than half a finger long, lying in her palm. Golden patterns flowed across its surface, resembling either a technological chip or some kind of magical runes.

"Is this the system's true form?!" She pinched it in surprise, examined it closely for a while, but couldn't figure it out. Subconsciously, she withdrew her spiritual power and gently pressed it towards the center of the card.

[Ding! ]
Suddenly, a familiar electronic voice rang out, as if it had been reactivated. The original small card instantly transformed into a pale golden ball of light, though it was several times smaller than the dog system.

[Ding! Who are you? What do you want? Why are you forcibly breaking the bond between me and the host?] The system flew out of Qiu Ci's palm and sped towards the window.

Unfortunately, before it could fly even a meter, it was slapped back by the thin line sent by the dog system.

[Behave yourself, my master has something to ask you, you'd better answer obediently, or I'll eat you!] The dog system patted the head of the mini light ball repeatedly, looking smug like a big shot in the world.

[Master?!] The system seemed to understand something, and the entire group began to throb with anger. [You are also a system binder! Let me go! You forcibly broke my bond with the host without my consent and stole my energy. This is against the rules! I will definitely report this to the Supreme God!]
"The Supreme God?" Qiu Ci frowned. "What is the Supreme God?"

[The Supreme God is naturally the supreme god of all systems...] The system paused, then suddenly realized something, and said in shock, [You don't know the Supreme God? Could it be... you're a traitorous system? Beep beep beep beep...]
It suddenly emitted a series of piercing alarm sounds, and the entire orb of light lit up with bursts of red light.

[Ding! Defected system detected, reporting... Connection failed... Connection failed... Unknown error detected... Error... Activating final contingency measures!]
Immediately afterwards, the entire ball of light suddenly shone brightly red.

"Oh no! Master, it's trying to self-destruct!" the dog system suddenly shouted, immediately flying over to swallow the other party back into its shell.

Qiu Ci frowned, and almost instinctively reached out to grab the system, blurting out, "Reset!"

The system, however, remained unfazed, its red light still flashing, and said, "[A defected system must be eliminated; you are simply...]"
[Ding! Underlying law triggered, system resetting!]
Before it could finish its threatening words, an even faster notification sound rang out, and the system's originally bright red body suddenly dimmed as if extinguished by something, before returning to a warm yellow-gold color a moment later, as if the whole thing exuded a clear stupidity.

[Ding! Reset successful. System 949 is at your service. My esteemed master, how can I help you?]
Autumn Farewell: "..."

Dog Commander: "..."

Juanshan: "..."

No, did you give in so easily? What happened to your defiance just now?
