Both My Parents Are Supremes—Why Should I Fear a Child of Destiny? - Chapter 14:

Chapter 14: If There’s an Opportunity, Snatch It—No Matter How Small!

“Sect Master, have you found the thief who stole the Three Saints Golden Lotus?”

When Li Jianping arrived, Ye Nantian hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Ever since that day, they had continued trying to let Chu Fan refine the Three Saints Golden Lotus and other heavenly treasures, but the outcome never changed. Every item meant for Chu Fan’s refinement would vanish the moment it was used. This made Ye Nantian extremely anxious.

Although he had raised Chu Fan to the 2nd stage Longevity Realm through spiritual infusion, it was still an infused cultivation base. Even with Chu Fan’s outstanding talent, he still needed time to fully absorb it. Using the powerful medicinal effect of the Three Saints Golden Lotus to stabilize his realm was absolutely essential—especially now, on the eve of the sect’s grand competition. How could Ye Nantian not be worried?

“He still can’t refine the Three Saints Golden Lotus?”

“No, I just tried again a stick of incense ago—still no use!”

“I understand…” Li Jianping took a deep breath, as though he had made up his mind. “Bring Chu Fan here. I’ll personally perform spiritual infusion to stabilize his cultivation!”

Ye Nantian was startled. He had never imagined Li Jianping would make such a decision. But once he came to his senses, his face lit up with joy. With Li Jianping’s help, Chu Fan’s realm would not only be stabilized, but could possibly rise even higher.

“I’ll go get him right away!”

After Ye Nantian left, Li Jianping began organizing his resources and refining them. Without exception, every item was a heavenly treasure or pill suited for fire-path cultivators. He would act as the conduit, refining these and infusing them into Chu Fan’s body—only this way could he ensure they wouldn’t be stolen by that mysterious expert.

Meanwhile, Su Ming received a new system message.

[Ding! Detected that Chu Fan is obtaining a fortuitous opportunity. Only 50% can be seized. Proceed with seizure? This attempt will cost 3,000 Destiny Points.]

“Seize it! Even if I can only take 10%, I’m still taking it!”

As long as he could siphon off something from Chu Fan, it didn’t matter how much—any gain was a win.

Inside the main hall of Qingyang Peak, Chu Fan excitedly stood before Li Jianping. On the way there, Ye Nantian had already explained what was about to happen.

“Thank you, Sect Master, for your support. I, Chu Fan, will not disappoint you. I’ll definitely take first place in tomorrow’s competition—especially that Su Ming! I’ll crush him completely and humiliate him in front of the entire sect!”

Li Jianping nodded with satisfaction. “With that determination, your cultivation has not been in vain. Now that you possess a special physique, I believe you’re definitely more talented than Su Ming!”

Hearing the mention of his special physique, Chu Fan felt a sharp sting in his heart. The Flame Sun Fire Body wasn’t bad, but Ye Nantian had told him that if Su Ming hadn’t interfered, he could have obtained the Profound Sun Spiritual Body instead.

“Come forward.”

At Li Jianping’s command, Chu Fan rushed to him. Li Jianping placed his hand on Chu Fan’s head and began the spiritual infusion. The fire-path heavenly treasures and pills he had refined earlier began pouring into Chu Fan’s body.

Chu Fan immediately felt a surge of heat, like flames igniting inside him. Yet instead of pain, it felt pleasantly tingling. He could sense the residual impurities from Ye Nantian’s previous infusion being burned away.

The infusion lasted a full ten minutes. When Li Jianping finally withdrew his hand, Chu Fan’s realm had stabilized at the 3rd stage Longevity Realm—just a step away from the 4th stage.

Realizing his breakthrough, Chu Fan was ecstatic.

“Thank you, Sect Master, for granting me this opportunity! With this cultivation, Su Ming is nothing to fear!”

However, Li Jianping was somewhat baffled. By his estimation, this infusion should have elevated Chu Fan to the 5th stage Longevity Realm. Why had it stopped at the 3rd?

Still, he didn’t dwell on it. He simply assumed Chu Fan’s extraordinary talent demanded even more resources.

In truth, those in the know would understand—half the infusion had become a gift for Su Ming. Despite remaining at the 1st stage Longevity Realm, Su Ming’s spiritual Qi increased by 20% thanks to his overwhelming talent.

“Only 20% more spiritual Qi? Chu Fan’s opportunity is really not that great.” Clicking his tongue, Su Ming waited for the next chance to plunder more.

[Ding! Detected that Chu Fan is about to obtain a fire-path combat technique. Seize it?]

“A combat technique? Forget it. That’s not useful to me, and learning it would just risk exposing myself.”

Cultivation techniques improve one’s cultivation; combat techniques are for offense and battle. But Su Ming didn’t need extra killing moves right now. Just an ordinary punch from him could kill anyone below the 5th stage Longevity Realm. Whatever combat technique Chu Fan had likely wouldn’t be stronger than his full-powered strike.

“System, filter out these types of opportunities. They don’t help me much. Besides, Chu Fan’s now firmly within my trap—he’ll only get fire-path techniques and combat skills from now on. That makes him easier to target.”

Though Su Ming still had 83,000 Destiny Points left, after what happened with his fiancée, he realized Destiny Points were still a precious resource. Even if he held Chu Fan’s core opportunities, there was no telling when a massive event might suddenly land in Chu Fan’s lap.

And once the fate confusion ended, seizing wouldn’t be so easy.

“As expected, only after climbing one mountain can you see the next. The sect grand competition is a great opportunity to farm Destiny Points, and after that is the sect’s secret realm… I wonder how many Destiny Points I’ll be able to harvest from him altogether.”

As he thought about it, Su Ming looked out the window. The sun was already sinking, and when it rose again, the sect’s grand competition for the younger generation would officially begin.

[Ding! Host has successfully caused an irreversible impact on a Destiny Female Lead. Gained Destiny Points.]

“Looks like Uncle Meng’s letter reached her. My fiancée really is impressive—just from this, I earned 20,000 Destiny Points.”

Then Su Ming suddenly realized something.

“System, if I gain Destiny Points from my fiancée, will it affect her opportunities?”

[Host need not worry. The Destiny Points earned this time came from Chu Fan.]

Hearing that, Su Ming instantly understood the reason. What he had done had indirectly altered Luo Ningshuang’s fate as someone destined to be with Chu Fan, so naturally the Destiny Points came from Chu Fan.

To earn Destiny Points directly from Luo Ningshuang, he’d have to interfere with her own opportunities.

“That’s perfect. My fiancée is family—it’s not right to fleece your own people.”

Fleecing should be reserved for outsiders, after all.
