NOVEL NEXT 34. Top 6, Confrontation
(Bu Cai POV)
Easy. Too easy.
The disparity between these strong mobs and I is immense.
And all this power because of one herb I stole from Long Tian.
If I imagine Long Tian now, on top of this herb...
*Shiver* Too scary.
If this doesn't show how scary plot armour can be, then I don't know what will.
Although I knew I was very strong, but being able to dominate these kids who have been trained by major sects from a young age really says something.
After the match against some mob who somehow got into top 12 (probably because of my influence), I waited for the rest of the matches.
Although all the matches today for the plot characters are against mobs, it still doesn't hurt to give it a watch.
And of course, cockroach is the one that isn't fighting today.
Although he isn't participating. The fact that he is constantly staring intensely at Song Ju and gives me a look of disdain whenever our eyes meet, hasn't changed a bit.
When all the matches are finished, I was planning to go to Long Zhen's for a bit to make the 'Friend' act more real...
However cockroach seems to have something to say.
He steps in front of me and looks me in the eyes with one of those 'sharp gazes'.
He then says in a low voice that carries immense disdain,
"If you think you can get away with stealing a Three Revolutions True Grass from me, then think again."
"I'll warn you now, if I see you on stage...
"I'll humiliate you until you beg for death, then slaughter you!"
"Of course your peasant family won't be spared either..."
"Call it a price for trying to fool this sovereign!"
This fucking petty pest...
He then turned around and left at a relaxed pace. Of course his posture was as straight as a sword and his white robes and black hair floated behind him as he walked, which made him permanently look bad ass (Fucking MC Special effects).
Since I already know that there was no point in keeping pretenses and that I was pissed by the fact that he threatened me with my family, I shouted to him as he walked away,
"I'll also give you a warning!"
"If a DOG like you dares to confront me tomorrow, I will personally ensure that you are a crip..."
Suddenly a huge pressure descended on me and a feeling of dread overwhelmed me.
I was forced face down on the ground.
W-Wh-What?
I use all my strength to get up, however my body won't respond.
I tilt my head slightly, only to see Long Tian's icy cold glare and a sinister smile plastered on his face.
He then said in an equal as cold tone,
"Don't you DARE speak to this godking with such disrespect!"
"If this weren't the capital I would have squished you for such INSOLENCE!"
He then kicked me away and once again walked away after leaving a single phrase.
"Know your PLACE"
This fucker...
HOW DARE HE!
Not only does he get to have immense luck and live however he wants, he also gets to look down on me?
Aren't I the one who has the system?
Aren't I the one who is meant to exterminate this piece of shit?
NO! I WON'T LET IT HAPPEN.
I muster up all the strength I could and shout at him in a mocking tone,
"YOU STUPID PEST, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, SONG JU WILL NEVER LOOK AT A DISGUSTING FREAK LIKE YOU!"
The lingering pressure on me instantly disperses and I quickly look up.
I then see the beautiful sight of Long Tian squirming on the ground clenching his chest whilst muffled squelches of agony can be heard from behind his clenched teeth.
...How do you like your heart devil?
You arrogant shit.

(Long Tian POV)
(Minutes Prior)
Watching my Hua'er fight really makes me feel better and brightens my day.
Although she now has a different name, she looks the exact same as the first time I met her.
Her aloof gaze.
Her graceful poise.
And of course her immense cuteness that will fully bloom in a couple years, and make her into a gorgeous woman that a man can only dream of.
Except for me.
I'll get her this time no matter what.
It's not just to fix my heart demon or to restore my pride. But to also allow myself to experience the love I never truly had!
HAHAHAHAHA.
Just I was about to be immersed in her again, out the corner of my eye, I saw a glaring eyesore which forced a frown on my face.
...Bu Cai.
A mere peasant garbage with no future and hopes to reach the pinnacle. Is actually staring at MY Woman?!
Not only has he started speaking to a flower I have set my eyes on, now he is going for my Hua'er!
Absolutely presumptuous!
If I don't put this peasant in his place, he will soon forget that the heavens is above earth or start to believe that dogs can fly.
After all the matches are done, I deviate from my usual route home to give this low-born garbage a lesson on what he should not do.
The fact that he swindled the great me is an offence worthy of a thousand deaths!
After we have gotten away from anyone else's sight, I go in front of him and tell him that I will massacre him and his family.
Which can be counted as honor of the highest degree!
After all, how many people really get to be the first kill of a future Godking?
After feeling satisfied with my declaration, I walk away feeling better however I hear him speak back to me and say...
"I also wish to give you a warning!"
"If a DOG like you dares to confront me tomorrow, I will personally ensure that you become a crip..."
HOW DARE YOU!
I release my killing intent which has been built up for over 100,000 years.
He is surely completely obliterated into nothingness now.
...I really am too merciful.
...
What?
He isn't exterminated?!
I squat down in front of the little shit and see that he is only being forced to the ground.
...My Intents that have been built over millennia. Are back to the beginning stages!
My rage and anger from this and the fact that this garbage dared to call me a dog led me to say,
"Don't you DARE speak to this Godking with such disrespect. If this weren't the capital I would have squished you for such INSOLENCE!"
I must save face for myself.
"Know your PLACE!"
I then decide to go home to see how much I have actually degraded as this makes me very worried.
I walked away whilst leaving some of the killing intent to make him stay in that position for a couple hours.
However a rush of immense pain caused me to instantly collapse, It felt as if my very being was being tortured in the worst way possible after hearing his words.
"YOU STUPID PEST! NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, SONG JU WILL NEVER LOOK AT A DISGUSTING FREAK LIKE YOU."
She... Will Never look at me?!
Newly founded memories rushed in my head the instant the horrifying pain came...

Author's Note:
A few people seem to dislike the fact that Bu Cai is in a passive position in this starting phase of the story.
Hence I have made Bu Cai 'Reverse Face Slap' (If you could call it that) Long Tian, so that he could avoid the humiliation that has scarred him throughout his previous life and so that he can get back at the lucky cockroach by using his weakness.
This will also allow me to help further the 'New' Long Tian's Past and character a bit.
As always, I hope you enjoyed the chapter and feedback on this development would be appreciated,
As I am unsure on whether I should actually allow Bu Cai to be able to do something like this to a High ranked 'Fortuned One' This early on or not; And if you do, then how else could he cause Long Tian pain other than Song Ju, because I have no clue as of now and suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks For Reading.
