Tap! Tap! Tap!
Lin Xiao wasn't walking fast; clearly, his injuries were still severe.
When he limped into the giant pit, he lost his footing and rolled down, the skin on his body being cut by sharp stones, leaving bloody gashes.
When he rolled to the bottom of the pit, he lay on the ground, raised his head, and what came into view was an old man who had lost his arms, was in a sorry state, was wearing tattered rags, and was emitting a foul odor.
Godfather!!!
Lin Xiao's pupils contracted, and he felt a trance in his mind. Even his breathing became rapid, as the scene before him clearly had a great impact on him.
In his mind, it seemed he recalled the memories of how he met his godfather.
It's undeniable that he did initially have the intention of deliberately getting close to the other party. But after years of being together, how could there not be a shred of warmth in his heart?
It's just that he never dreamed that his elaborate schemes, the ascension plan he had personally crafted, would fail so miserably.
Not only was his adoptive father crippled, but he himself had to endure such humiliation.
After a moment of silence, Lin Xiao tremblingly took off his upper garment and covered Old Man Qiong, concealing his disheveled appearance and preserving his last shred of dignity.
"Chen Beiyuan, don't you just want to humiliate me in public? Fine! Today, I've lost. I admit defeat, I accept the consequences!"
"The shame of today, I, Lin Xiao, will never forget!"
Lin Xiao forced himself up from the ground and, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, crawled in front of Chen Beiyuan like a dog.
Then, he barked three times.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Lin Xiao suddenly raised his head, looking at Chen Beiyuan, who was standing high above him, as if trying to see a hint of smugness on the other's face.
However, to his surprise, he only saw a calm, undisturbed expression on Chen Beiyuan's face.
Those deep, dark eyes seemed to pierce through him from head to toe, making him feel as if he were naked in the snow.
Lin Xiao's expression changed slightly, and he felt a jolt in his heart, the hairs on the back of his neck standing on end.
"Even at this point, you're still trying to put on an act, portraying yourself as a 'tragic' victim, trying to create an image of someone who defies the powerful, to garner sympathy."
"You're very clever, but unfortunately, you're too clever. If you had put this much thought into other things, how could you have ended up in this situation?!"
"You reap what you sow!"
"Let me give you a piece of advice: plots and schemes can succeed for a while, but they can't accomplish great things."
Chen Beiyuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes dark as he looked down at the protagonist of destiny, who was kneeling at his feet like a dog.
Suddenly, he raised his foot and directly pressed it onto the other person's head, stomping down hard.
Boom!
Lin Xiao's head was directly stomped into the ground, sinking deeply into it. The pain of suffocation contorted his expression.
He struggled frantically, but the foot on his head was as heavy as a mountain, leaving him unable to resist.
"Since you've chosen to be a dog, you must learn to bow down before your master."
Chen Beiyuan knew very well that if he hadn't transmigrated and changed the original body's fate, it would be him lying on the ground now, being humiliated at will.
Mercy towards your enemy is cruelty towards yourself.
To empathize with a trash who wants to harm you?
Heh! Heh!
It's not like I have a brain tumor!
Soon, Lin Xiao, who was stepped on the ground, gradually stopped struggling violently, as if he had completely accepted his fate.
It was just that his clenched fists, with fingertips deeply embedded in his flesh, and the scarlet blood flowing out and soaking the ground, all foreshadowed his unwillingness and forbearance.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for changing the original fate line. In the Academy Tournament final, you stepped on the Son of Destiny, "Lin Xiao," interrupting his [Dragon Transformation] process, causing him to miss a major opportunity, and his mentality is showing signs of collapse, severely weakening the protagonist's luck of the Son of Destiny, Lin Xiao.] [Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving a special reward: Wordless Medical Scripture (Unique)]
[Wordless Medical Scripture (Unique): This is a mysterious medical scripture with no written words. It conceals a variety of strange medical techniques. Because of its uniqueness, only those with the destiny of the heavens can see the contents of the scripture.]
The Wordless Medical Scripture?!
It's actually this thing!!!
Chen Beiyuan's expression shifted slightly, and his pupils shrank as he stared fixedly at the blank scripture floating in the system storage space.
Clearly, he was somewhat surprised by this reward from the system!
"Isn't this one of Lin Xiao's core cultivation techniques?!"
"And also, Lin Xiao's biggest cheat!"
In the novel [Urban Medical God's Free and Easy Record], Lin Xiao, as the son of destiny, had two major cheats: the [Wordless Medical Scripture] and the [Great Mysterious Dragon Transformation Scripture].
The reason Lin Xiao, who was born an orphan, was able to rise to prominence was because, as a child, he was accidentally sucked into a mysterious, crumbling secret realm. There, he received the inheritance of an unparalleled great being and obtained two scriptures.
The Wordless Medical Scripture was a given. As the favored son of the "Urban Godly Doctor's Leisurely Record" genre, this mysterious scripture was Lin Xiao's greatest source of confidence.
Hidden within the Wordless Medical Scripture were various mysterious and bizarre medical techniques, capable of both healing and killing.
It could be said that in the original novel, most of the scenes where he showed off and slapped faces revolved around this incredibly mysterious Wordless Medical Scripture.
Lin Xiao's other cheat, the Great Mysterious Dragon Transformation Scripture, was also not simple.
This was a ninth-grade cultivation technique that pointed directly towards the path of a War God.
One must know that in this world, the War God realm was legendary.
All top-tier cultivation techniques only reached the eighth grade!
Even Chen Beiyuan's Demon Scripture of the Imprisoned Abyss was only an eighth-grade cultivation technique.
If Lin Xiao's possession of a ninth-grade cultivation technique were exposed, it would instantly cause a huge uproar and shake the empire.
Even those eighth-grade War Emperors, who stood at the pinnacle of the world, would be unable to resist the greed and make a move!
And the Great Mysterious Dragon Transformation Scripture lived up to its name as a ninth-grade cultivation technique in the original novel.
In the original novel, Lin Xiao's cultivation talent wasn't strong, even quite poor. Throughout his life, he struggled to break through the fourth-grade War General and condense a War Soul.
However, after cultivating the Great Mysterious Dragon Transformation Scripture, he successfully defied fate and embarked on the path of dragon transformation, elevating his cultivation talent to a level second only to the destined villain, Chen Beiyuan.
Afterwards, when breaking through the fourth-grade War General, he even condensed a high-grade War Soul: the Black Dragon.
If the plot followed the original novel, Lin Xiao would have the opportunity to enter the Dragon Blood Pool after winning the Academy Tournament and allow his Black Dragon War Soul to successfully transform into a dragon, becoming a top-tier War Soul.
At that time, the true power of the Great Mysterious Dragon Transformation Scripture would gradually be revealed.
In a way, it was Lin Xiao's trashy talent that held back the Great Mysterious Dragon Transformation Scripture, a ninth-grade cultivation technique. If it had been someone with stronger talent, they would have soared long ago.
And now, whether Lin Xiao, whose opportunity had been stolen, could transform into a dragon was unknown.
"It's a pity. The Great Mysterious Dragon Transformation Scripture, this ninth-grade technique, is now hidden deep within Lin Xiao's soul and cannot be obtained through any means. Otherwise, I could have 'borrowed' it to take a look."
"In the original story, an eighth-grade War Emperor once captured Lin Xiao, intending to use mental combat techniques to make him reveal the Great Mysterious Dragon Transformation Scripture. However, he accidentally triggered a taboo and ended up suffering a great loss."
At this moment, Chen Beiyuan, who had obtained the Wordless Medical Scripture, began to covet Lin Xiao's other golden finger, the cultivation technique.
"Of course, while the Great Mysterious Dragon Transformation Scripture is strong, my cultivation of the Demon Scripture of the Imprisoned Abyss is not weak either. Currently, the strange demonic scripture I cultivate is only a fragment. If I could complete it, it would also be a ninth-grade technique."
"Besides, I disrupted Lin Xiao's chance to 'transform into a dragon' this time and obtained the Wordless Medical Scripture. Sooner or later, the Great Mysterious Dragon Transformation Scripture will also fall into my hands."
As Chen Beiyuan's thoughts raced, his foot unconsciously applied more pressure, forcing Lin Xiao's dog-like head deeper into the dirt.
Tiny blood bubbles began to surface from the earthen pit.
Lin Xiao started convulsing, his breaths shallow and infrequent.
Seeing that Lin Xiao was on the verge of being crushed to death, Chen Beiyuan slowly lifted his foot.
At this moment, a half-dead Son of Destiny still held considerable value for him.
Before completely exhausting his usefulness, it was best to spare his life.
