Ye Lingyun raised his hand and gently brushed Luo Wu's messy hair. His voice was very soft as he asked, "Girl, what is your name?"
Luo Wu's body went stiff. she lowered her head and spoke in a shy, low voice, "To the Immortal Master... my name is Luo Wu."
"Luo Wu," Ye Lingyun repeated the name quietly. He nodded and asked, "Where is your home? This place is dangerous. I will take you back."
As soon as he said this, the light in Luo Wu's eyes faded. She buried her head even lower, and her voice shook with sadness. "My... my family was killed by enemies a few years ago. In the big Luo family, I am the only one left..."
Ye Lingyun stopped moving. He didn't expect this weak girl to have such a sad past. For a moment, he didn't know how to comfort her.
Suddenly, the System's cold voice rang in his mind:
[Ding! Detected "Child of Luck" Luo Wu. Triggering optional mission!]
[Profile: Luo Wu has great luck. She is a genius rarely seen in ten thousand years. In the future, she will become a Female Immortal Emperor!]
[Mission Choices:]
[1 .Help her get revenge, give her some cultivation items, and leave. (No deep bond).]
[Help her get revenge and take her as your personal Disciple. (Deep Master-Discple bond).]
[Rewards:]
[Choice 1: 200,000 System Points.]
[Choice 2: 200,000 System Points + Awakening Luo Wu's "Glazed Divine Body" early.]
Ye Lingyun was shocked. He never thought this dirty, shy little girl had such scary talent!
The Glazed Divine Body was a legendary body type. It could automatically absorb energy from the world and was safe from most evil magic. It was one of the best talents in the world!
What shocked him more were the words "Future Immortal Emperor." In his past life, even Ye Lingyun only reached the Emperor Realm; he never reached the level of "flying to the upper world." Taking her as a student meant binding his life to someone with massive luck.
He didn't hesitate and chose the second option. Keeping a future protagonist by his side was the smartest move.
He looked at Luo Wu again. Her thin shoulders were shaking, and her eyes were red. She didn't ask for help because she was already thankful he saved her life. She didn't want to be a bother.
Ye Lingyun spoke softly, "Luo Wu, I know you carry a heavy revenge and have no one to rely on."
Luo Wu froze. She slowly looked up at him with teary eyes, feeling confused.
Ye Lingyun continued, "I want to take you as my personal disciple. I will teach you how to cultivate and protect you. From now on, you are not alone. I, Ye Lingyun, will be your support. No one will bully you again."
"Immortal Master... is... is that true?" Luo Wu's voice was thick with tears. She asked in a small voice, "Are you really willing to take me as your disceple?"
She never expected that the person in front of her would not only save her from death but also take her as a disciple. At this moment, Ye Lingyun was like a beam of light falling into her darkness.
Ye Lingyun nodded seriously, his gaze firm. "Of course it is true. I, Ye Lingyun, never make jokes."
In the next second, Luo Wu could no longer hold back her emotions. She fell to her knees with a thud and knocked her head against the hard ground three times.
When she looked up, her forehead was bleeding, but she was smiling brightly, as if she had finally escaped the darkness. "Disciple Luo Wu greets Master! From now on, I will go wherever Master points. I will never regret this!"
"Silly girl..." Ye Lingyun laughed happily. He stood up, helped Luo Wu to her feet, and brushed the dust off her clothes. Then, he used a soft magical power from his fingertips to gently heal the wound on her forehead.
[Ding! Host has chosen the mission: Help Luo Wu get revenge and take her as a disciple!] [Mission triggered. Rewards will be given after revenge is complete!] [Luo Wu has joined the Host. Awakening Glazed Divine Body early... Success!]
The moment the system finished speaking, Ye Lingyun felt a pure and powerful energy wave explode from inside Luo Wu. Her eyes became bright, and her body was covered in a soft, glowing light.
Luo Wu was scared by the sudden change. She grabbed Ye Lingyun's sleeve, her voice shaking. "Master, what is happening to me..."
Ye Lingyun comforted her, "Don't worry. This is your lucky chance."
Suddenly, something even more shocking happened!
The light around Luo Wu exploded. Huge amounts of energy rushed into her body. Her power began to jump like a rocket!
Body Tempering Peak! Break! Qi Refining Stage! Early... Middle... Peak!
It didn't stop! The wall of the next realm broke like paper. She stepped directly into the Foundation Establishment Realm! Early... Middle... Late... Peak!
Another break! She stepped directly into the Golden Core Realm, and her power finally stopped at Golden Core Level 3!
In just a few seconds, Luo Wu jumped from the very bottom to the Golden Core Realm. This speed was impossible!
Ye Lingyun's mouth fell open, and his eyes were wide with shock. In his two lives, he had seen many geniuses, but he had never seen anyone level up this fast!
"This... this is too crazy!" Ye Lingyun thought to himself. "As expected of the Glazed Divine Body, one of the best talents in the universe!"
Suddenly, he remembered something and smiled. "Right, I haven't given my disciple a gift for joining me yet."
He opened the System Shop in his mind. With a tap, two items appeared in his hands. One was a beautiful Rainbow Glazed Dress that glowed with spiritual light. The other was a Snow-White Long Sword. The sword looked ancient and felt cold; it was a high-quality King-Grade sword.
In this world, spiritual weapons and treasures are divided into specific ranks. From the lowest to the most legendary, they are:Yellow Grade, Mystic Grade,Earth Grade ,Heaven Grade , King Grade , Saint Grade, Emperor Grade.....(etc...)
