He was once the lord of a great city, the protector worshipped by all the people, but now he has become a useless person who can do nothing and even suffers humiliation from his former enemies.

Thinking of this, Haicheng's eyes hardened.

He used the spiritual energy that was constantly flowing in his body to condense it in his palm, and then quickly slapped his palm onto the top of his head.

However, his trick had already been discovered by the system, and the boy immediately restrained every part of his body, rendering him unable to move.

Haicheng is currently in a situation where he can neither live nor die.

"What exactly do you want! I knew you weren't an ordinary person from the first time I met you, but I never expected you to be so ruthless. You actually went so far as to pretend to be in love with my daughter for your own purposes. Aren't you tired of pretending?" Haicheng asked.

His eyes were red and he looked utterly disheveled.

Lin Yaoxie smiled and said:

"Lord Hai, what are you saying? Your daughter is a beauty of unparalleled grace. How do you know I'm not sincere towards her? Didn't I just tell you to be a respectful and devoted father-in-law to me?"

Haicheng's face turned ashen; it turned out this kid had no intention of letting his daughter, Donkey, go.

He never expected that a mere youth who had been in the welfare program for less than a day could so easily overthrow the entire city lord's mansion.

The key point is that she knew long ago that this kid didn't have any spiritual power at all; he was just an ordinary mortal.

Being defeated by someone like that would be incredibly frustrating for anyone, especially since he's a complete bastard!

"Father-in-law, don't look at me like that. To tell you the truth, my goal from the beginning was you. Even without your daughter, I would still have succeeded."

Chapter Thirty-Two: Absorbing Power

Haicheng had given up all hope.

"Go ahead and do it, give me a quick death," Haicheng said, closing his eyes as he did so, tears streaming down his face.

Lin Yaoxie thought this person was simply clueless, and he was about to get angry at him.

"I need to repeat myself several times for you to understand. I don't want to kill you at all. My real purpose is to absorb your power to become a quasi-saint and officially enter the ranks of cultivators."

Lin Yaoxie said, feeling utterly confused. He couldn't understand why this person wouldn't understand even after being told it several times.

“I will spare your life. Then tomorrow you will watch your daughter marry me, and then I will take over your city lord’s mansion, take over your Haicheng, and everything you have will become mine. Remember, I want you to watch it with your own eyes, not to die.”

Hai Cheng was utterly stunned. What grudge did 793 hold against him? Why was he being subjected to such torment? He couldn't recall ever offending this scoundrel.

“When have I ever offended you or your ancestors? This is clearly retaliation,” Haicheng said.

Lin Yaoxie was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"No way, no way, what era are we living in? You still think you can only kill someone because you have a grudge? Let me tell you, I just don't like the look of you. I just want to drain your energy, don't overthink it," Lin Yaoxie said.

Haicheng was utterly shocked by these absurd values. Just because he didn't like someone, they were going to put him in this state?

What kind of touching values ​​are these?

"Don't stare at me like that. Take a good look at my face. This will be a face that will shake the heavens and move the gods. It will be the most significant face in the entire world," Lin Yaoxie said.

Hai Cheng silently closed his eyes. Now that things had come to this point, what else could he possibly be unwilling to accept?

"Host, you're ready. Now (aefe) can use the Star Absorption Technique to absorb all its spiritual power. While absorbing the spiritual power, it will also clear your meridians to prevent blockages and complications."

"Explosive body." "The boy said.

"What? What did you call him? Host?"

Haicheng finally caught the key phrase. His eyes widened as he asked.

"Tongzi" turned his head expressionlessly, but his eyes were full of amusement. Haicheng was surprised to find that Tongzi's eyes were strangely similar to Lin Yaoxie's eyes at this moment.

“Since you’ve already heard it, I’ll tell you the truth. I wasn’t the servant boy who was always by your side. I was just a system assistant who had signed an agreement with Lin Yaoxie. In short, I controlled your servant boy,” the “servant boy” said.

Upon hearing this, Haicheng seemed to finally feel relieved. It turned out that his servant had not betrayed him, but had simply been controlled by them.

"Will you kill him?" Haicheng asked.

"No, I'm keeping him around to guard my door in the future," Lin Yaoxie said.

Haicheng was finally relieved and closed his eyes peacefully.

"You guys do it," Haicheng said.

Then Lin Yaoxie unceremoniously used the Star Absorbing Technique, placing his palm on the top of the man's head.

The spiritual energy around Haicheng was visible to the naked eye, turning into specks of light that surged from his limbs and bones to the top of his head, showing that he possessed an abundance of spiritual energy.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Becoming a Quasi-Saint

When all this spiritual energy gathered at the top of his head, his entire top of the head transformed into a crystal-clear jade.

"Oh, what an alluring power." Lin Yaoxie absorbed the spiritual energy while savoring its wonderful qualities.

The boy next to him placed his fingers on his back to clear his meridians and guide the flow of spiritual energy.

Hai Cheng's face was contorted in pain. Both of them were enveloped in a beam of light, but that light was not nourishing him; instead, it was draining the life force from his entire body.

Its vitality, like the spiritual energy that drained from her body, all entered Lin Yaoxie's body.

Haicheng is aging rapidly at a visible rate.

"Ah, this wonderful power is truly captivating!" Lin Yaoxie said with a sly grin.

“Host, you're going to get beaten up easily if you keep going like this,” the boy warned.

Lin Yaoxie snorted coldly, "Heh, either I live a life of arrogance, or you kill me."

Because Haicheng's spiritual power was so immense, it took them a full half hour to absorb it all.

After Lin Yaoxie absorbed all the spiritual power from Haicheng, his entire body was shrouded in a light silver-gray.

Haicheng, on the other hand, was like an old man with a flickering candle in the wind. The once plump and robust middle-aged man had instantly withered into a thin, sallow old man.

His hair had turned completely white, and large clumps would fall out with every tug.

Lin Yaoxie felt the surging power within his body, but at this moment he had only absorbed the spiritual power into his body, not yet fully into his Qi Sea.

Only when Lin Li reaches his own Qi Sea can he continuously circulate Qi within his body, endlessly generating life.

However, if spiritual energy can circulate throughout the body, then it can only be that much spiritual energy. Once it's used up, it's gone forever.

"Host, all you need to do now is sit cross-legged. I will guide your spiritual energy to your dantian," the assistant said.

Lin Yaoxie hummed in agreement, then sat down cross-legged.

The boy placed his hand on the boy's chest, palm facing out. A continuous stream of light entered the boy's body, guiding the spiritual energy circulating within him back to his dantian.

After adjusting for about fifteen minutes, all the spiritual energy returned to the Qi Sea, becoming a small ball of light hidden within it.

0oo is asking for flowers.....

Lin Yaoxie felt his whole body brimming with power, more powerful than he had ever been before.

He suddenly stood up, trying to use his own strength, but as soon as he exerted his power, he couldn't control the surging spiritual energy within him, which almost shattered it.

"What's going on? I can't use it at all!" Lin Yaoxie asked.

"Host, you haven't learned a cultivation method with a similar system, so you can't guide your spiritual energy yourself, which is why this is happening," the assistant said.

Lin Yaoxie became impatient again, "Can you just explain it clearly once and for all? Now look what's happened, I still have to go learn the cultivation technique."

The assistant said, "Can you please stop losing your temper so easily? If you keep doing this, I won't give you the cultivation technique."

Lin Yaoxie scoffed, then recovered.

"You say you have cultivation techniques?" Lin Yaoxie asked.

The boy nodded stiffly.

"Then hurry up and give it to me, otherwise how am I supposed to use the power in this body to conquer those clan elders tomorrow?" Guang said.

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Threat of the System

“As long as you speak to me properly now, I will immediately pass on the technique to you, and you will be able to learn it right away without needing to study it,” the assistant said.

Lin Yaoxie grabbed the boy's neck, as if he were viciously strangling his assistant.

"I'll give you one minute to pass on the technique to me right now," Lin Yaoxie threatened.

The Dark System Assistant was utterly speechless at this person; he was truly the worst of the worst, even worse than "797".

"Alright, since you won't try to persuade me kindly, then I'll have to use experience points in exchange," the assistant said.

Lin Yaoxie refused to back down.

"Tell me, how many experience points do you want?" Lin Yaoxie asked emotionally.

"One thousand!" The Dark System Assistant seized the opportunity to demand an exorbitant sum.

He's accumulated about 5000 experience points by now. And this unscrupulous assistant is trying to buy 1000 of his experience points all at once?

So Lin Yaoxie kicked the boy out again.

But the boy immediately flew back. His expression remained stiff, but his eyes were incredibly expressive.

"Host, I'm warning you, you'd better be polite to me, or I will abandon you and find a new master."

The assistant threatened fiercely, "This kid should be obedient by now. In this world, without his assistant's help, he's a useless person who can't do anything."

Lin Yaoxie narrowed his eyes, staring at him with a very dangerous look.

"you sure?"

The assistant felt a little uneasy, but still stubbornly said:

"I'm sure!"

"Alright, if I'm not mistaken, you'll suffer some backlash if you re-contract with your master, right? And all the power you've gained will be wiped out."

The expression in the eyes of the boy who was possessed by the assistant finally changed.

"How did you know?" the assistant asked.

Lin Yaoxie curled his lips slightly and said mockingly, "Just a guess."

"And if I'm not mistaken, the fact that you've stayed with me despite my treatment must mean there's something different about me that's keeping you here."

The assistants finally couldn't hold back their expressions any longer. They withdrew from the boy's body and returned to Lin Yaoxie's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Host, please give your orders," the assistant said.

However, at this moment, the child who had been freed from the possession finally recovered... The first thing he saw was an aged Hai Cheng and a young man he had never met before.
