Both My Parents Are Supremes—Why Should I Fear a Child of Destiny? - Chapter 18:

Chapter 18: What’s Yours Is Mine

Li Jianping was feeling frustrated after noticing that Chu Fan had entered the sealed vicious beast’s domain. But Chu Fan himself was even more frustrated. Earlier, he had encountered a Fire Spirit Lizard—a relatively rare demonic beast. Its bodily fluids were rich in fire-attribute spiritual Qi, offering great benefits to fire-path cultivators. 

The one he found was half a meter long and had cultivation at the 9th stage of the Extraordinary Realm. If he could kill and refine its fluids, he could easily break through to the 4th stage of the Longevity Realm. 

However, for some reason, every time he was about to land the finishing blow, the lizard would escape. 

Either another powerful beast would intervene, or it would slip into some fissure in the terrain. In total, Chu Fan had wasted half an hour chasing it.

Now, he finally had it cornered inside a sealed cave. Guarding the only exit, Chu Fan sneered. “Run, go on! Let’s see where you escape now!” 

“This cave’s a perfect spot to cultivate. Just right for absorbing your essence.”

From Chu Fan’s perspective, the Fire Spirit Lizard was trembling in fear, trapped with no way out. But its fear wasn’t directed at him—it sensed something even more terrifying deeper within. Meanwhile, Li Jianping, observing Chu Fan getting closer to the taotie’s location, could no longer stay calm. Chu Fan was his pre-determined champion, the sect’s future Holy Son. He couldn’t afford to be eliminated in the first round.

“Idiot! Get out of there right now! Do you want to be eliminated before the second round even begins?!”

Li Jianping’s furious voice echoed in Chu Fan’s ears, startling him. 

Just then, Chu Fan spotted a pair of glowing eyes deep within the cave. A chill shot straight to his head—he instantly understood why Li Jianping had urgently warned him. He immediately forgot about the Fire Spirit Lizard and turned to flee toward the exit. But just as he was about to escape, a figure appeared out of nowhere, and Chu Fan saw a fist rapidly enlarging before his eyes.

“BOOM!” 

A dull thud echoed through the cave—not the sound of flesh hitting flesh, but like a fist striking something solid. Chu Fan flew like an arrow loosed from a bow, smashing against the cave wall before falling to the ground. A faint glow shimmered over his body—defensive protection from a magical treasure.

“Nice protective treasure. Who gave it to you? Ye Nantian or Li Jianping?” Su Ming asked coldly. After dealing with Li Jianping’s planted assassin, he had rushed at full speed and finally blocked Chu Fan inside the cave.

“Su Ming? You?!”

Chu Fan was stunned the moment he saw who it was, forgetting entirely that he was still in a dangerous place. 

At this moment, only one thought occupied his mind—defeating Su Ming. 

Whether it was having his arm broken earlier or being thrown into Flame Prison Cliff, he had to settle it all here.

“I was going to come find you myself, but I didn’t expect you’d walk straight into my trap. The humiliation you gave me before—I’ll repay it twice over!”

Chu Fan charged, fire-element spiritual Qi wrapped around his right fist. This was the battle technique [Flame Fist] that Li Jianping had given him. 

“Chu Fan! You’re no match for Su Ming! Get out of there now!” Li Jianping shouted again, but it was already too late. 

Su Ming had already proven the gap between them.

He caught the Flame Fist with ease and sneered. “This is your strength? Chu Fan, you really are trash.” 

With a squeeze of his hand, immense force crushed down on Chu Fan’s right fist. A clear sound of bones fracturing echoed through the cave, followed by Chu Fan’s scream of pain.

“Damn it! When did he get there?!” 

Outside the Secret Realm, Li Jianping panicked like a cat on a hot roof. At this rate, Chu Fan was bound to be eliminated by Su Ming. 

Without Chu Fan, Li Jianping couldn’t think of a single person who could beat Su Ming in the tournament. Gritting his teeth, he made a desperate decision—he released the seal on the vicious beast, the taotie.

“Hmm?” Sensing something, Su Ming casually tossed Chu Fan aside like garbage. 

“This aura… a vicious beast!” 

Activating the Destiny Vision, Su Ming saw the taotie and the Fire Spirit Lizard’s destiny intertwining with Chu Fan’s—both counted as Chu Fan’s opportunities.

So Su Ming walked straight to the Fire Spirit Lizard and stomped it to death.

[Successfully destroyed the Child of Destiny’s opportunity. Gained 1,000 destiny points.]

[Successfully suppressed the Child of Destiny. Gained 2,000 destiny points.]

As the seal loosened, the vicious beast emerged and stood before Su Ming. 

“A taotie with a broken bloodline? Looks like we’re destined to meet.” 

In the original plot, the Devouring Demon Lord had acquired a magical treasure forged from a taotie, earning him his title.

The taotie, starved from being sealed for so long, didn’t care who Su Ming was. It roared and charged, needing food. Su Ming raised his hand. The Supreme Chaos Body automatically released chaotic energy to form a shield, blocking the taotie’s attack. This attack—equal to the 8th stage of the Longevity Realm—only made Su Ming take half a step back.

“Su Ming! I’ll repay this humiliation a hundredfold one day!” 

While Su Ming was entangled with the taotie, Chu Fan endured the pain and escaped. 

“Is that so? Then when we meet again, I’ll make sure you run away like a beaten dog once more.”

The hunger and Su Ming’s disregard only made the taotie more violent, and its attacks became fiercer. But Su Ming stood firm like a tree in a storm, calmly blocking every blow with chaotic energy. At the same time, he noticed something strange—each time the taotie attacked, it absorbed a small amount of his chaotic energy.

“That innate devouring ability… taotie’s divine power really lives up to its name.” 

“But chaotic energy isn’t something you can consume so easily—especially not you, a taotie with a broken bloodline. You don’t have the complete devouring ability.”

As if to prove Su Ming right, purple veins began appearing on the taotie’s body, quickly fracturing along with its flesh and blood. The unexpected transformation triggered the beast’s fury, making it even more berserk.

“This is bad! The vicious beast’s gone fully berserk! If this continues, Su Ming will be in danger!”

“Sect Master, order him out of the Secret Realm now! If he’s injured, the Trinity Saint Sect can’t afford the consequences!”

Hearing the elders’ panic, Li Jianping secretly rejoiced. If Su Ming questioned this later, he could simply blame it on the elders’ concern. Just as he was about to forcibly eject Su Ming, Su Ming finally launched an attack. It was just a regular punch, but the taotie was sent flying and embedded into the cave wall.

“He… he actually punched the taotie away?!”

“Longevity Realm 1st stage… is he really just at the 1st stage?!”

Even Li Jianping was stunned. Under everyone’s watchful gaze, Su Ming walked up to the taotie, grabbed its head, and twisted it off.

[Successfully destroyed the Child of Destiny’s opportunity…]

[Successfully caused psychological trauma to the Child of Destiny.]

[Gained 8,000 destiny points.]

Su Ming discarded the precious corpse like trash. Compared to it, stealing more of Chu Fan’s opportunities was far more important.

[Detected that Chu Fan is currently engaging with another opportunity…]

“Chu Fan, every opportunity in this Secret Realm… will become mine!”
