•••••••••••••
Jia Ma Empire.
Southern End Of Qingshan Town.
Wolf Head Mercenary Company Headquarters.
Sunlight filtered through the window spilling into the room, illuminating the somewhat dim room.
A handsome young man who appeared to be around twenty years old was listlessly looking at the ceiling.
"How did I transmigrate?"
He never dreamed that he would have such a day.
He was just taking a nap in his room after a long exhausting day but when he woke up, he had somehow found himself in the world of Battle Through The Heavens.
As for why he knew that this was the world of Battle Through The Heavens and not soms silly prank, the reason was simple.
Even after digesting all the memories of the previous owner of this body, he was sceptical.
But when he saw two guys fighting outside his room using martial arts moves he had only seen in donghua and movies, he finally believed all this.
However, this was not the main point.
The main point was that his current identity was Mu Li, the Young Company Leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company.
That's right, he was nothing more than just a third rate villain.
He was one of those cannon fodders whose only role was to act as a stepping stone for the main character.
This realization made him very uncomfortable.
His Father Mu She was the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company.
What's more, he already had some ideas regarding the current timeline.
The treasure cave incident had happened just a few weeks ago.
And just like in the original story, Xiao Yan fled with Xiao Yi Xian while Mu Li could just watch helplessly.
After realizing all this Mu Li sighed helplessly, "Sigh... I must be the most unluckiest dude among all the transmigrators."
A third rate villain start.
No system or cheat whatsoever to help him.
Even the timing of his crossover was bad.
'Forget it, since I'm already here, I'll just take things as they are. I'll think of a way to survive now that I've transmigrated to this person's body.'
Letting out a deep sigh, a frown marred his handsome face as he did so.
Mu Li could've easily prevented all this from happening if he had just transmigrated a few week earlier.
But unfortunately fate had a different plan for him.
So his first priority right now was to think of a way to survive Xiao Yan's revenge.
Although he preferred not to antagonize Xiao Yan but his current circumstances forced him to trade this path.
With his current weak strength of 7 Star Dou Zhe it's next to impossible to defeat Xiao Yan.
Not to mention, Xiao Yan also had two powerful bodyguards like Yao Lao and Ling Ying helping him.
In this situation, he only had two choices.
The first one was to simply escape from this place as soon as possible.
It's a simple and effective way.
After escaping he could then use his foresight of future plotline for his advantage and reap some benifits.
The second choice was to wait for Yun Yun's arrival.
To be honest, he preferred the second choice because even if he couldn't win her heart like Xiao Yan, he could always join the Misty Cloud Sect with her recommendation.
He could then use the resources provided by her to increase his strength as much as possible while waiting for his opportunities.
Although there were some risks involved, but once successful Mu Li would absolutely gain a powerful Dou Huang level sugar mommy.
Xiao Yan and him were already mortal enemies of each other. Therefore he would never feel any guilt while stealing some of his original opportunities.
Just when he was brewing a plan on how to take advantage of Xiao Yan a voice in his mind rang!
[Malicious intentions towards the Favoured Son Of Heaven has been detected.]
[Conditions for the system initialization has been met.]
[Host confirmed.]
[Initiating System Integration.]
[Fated Villain System is now online.]
This sudden sound startled him.
Before Mu Li could react, a transparent blue screen began to materialize out of thin air.
Watching the game like system panel floating in the air before him, Mu Li was a bit dazed.
System!
It's finally here.
His system was finally here!
He shook his head hard a few times and even rubbed his eyes in disbelief, but it was still there.
Finally his eyes lit up in excitement.
But he quickly calmed himself down and focused his mind on understanding the system's functions.
There were dozens of regulations written on it.
After a careful look, Mu Li finally understood how to use the Fated Villain System.
Its functions were actually very simple.
He could earn Fate Points by reversing the Fortune of the Favored Child of Heaven.
In the world of Battle Through The Heavens, the Favoured Child Of Heaven was of course none other than Xiao Yan.
The Points were like currency used in the system store. He could exchange them for buying cultivation techniques, heavenly treasures, and so on.
He could also add those points to upgrade his skills, fuse them to make a new one or deduce an incomplete one.
In short, Fate Points had all sort of uses.
Reversing Xiao Yan's fortune?
Mu Li could not help but laugh loudly when he saw this.
That's what he was planning to do in the first place!
With a thought, he opened his status window.
[Host: Mu Li
Age: 20
Elemental Affinity: Wood
Spiritual Strength: Early Mortal (Tier 2 Alchemist)
Cultivation: 7 Star Dou Zhe
Fate Points: 0]
"This system is simply custom-made for me. With such a system helping me behind the scenes, so long as I don't commit suicide my life is set."
[You have a starter gift pack. Would you like to open it?
Yes/No]
"Of course. Open it."
[Congratulations, you have obtained the following items:-
- Sky Poison Pearl
- Dou Wang Experience Card ×1
- Dou Huang Experience Card ×1]
[The above mentioned items have already been placed inside the system inventory. Host can check or retrieve them with just a thought.]
System inventory was like a separate space where he could store his belongings.
However, according to the system prompt, it could only store items or objects provided by the system.
He curiously opened his inventory and checked all the items one by one.
[Sky Poison Pearl (Purification Half): One of the Seven Heavenly Profound Treasures with its rank being fifth. It's capabilities are centered around poison, medicine, purification, and space.
Source: Against The Gods]
[Dou Wang Experience Card: One can gain the strength rivalling that of a Peak Dou Wang level expert for an hour.]
[Dou Huang Experience Card: One can gain the strength rivalling that of a Peak Dou Huang level expert for an hour.]
Mu Li pinched his chin and mused, "Hmmm, although it lacks the poisonous half but it's a priceless treasure nonetheless in a world where alchemist is the most respected profession."
"The experience cards are also not bad. Once things go south, I can always use them to either fight or flee from my enemies."
After that with a curious look on his face, he retrieved a round green pearl from the system inventory.
Sky Poison Pearl, the treasure which had provided countless opportunities for Yun Che.
The Sky Poison Pearl could potentially make him the most powerful alchemist the world had ever seen.
Thinking about it, a burning desire lit up within him.
After taking a few deep breaths to calm his heart, he followed the system's instruments and pressed the Sky Poison Pearl on his left palm.
The moment it touched his palm, it turned into a ray of green light before merging with his palm.
Soon a circular green imprint appeared on his left palm.
Only now did the Sky Poison Pearl truly belong to him.
To test his new ability, with a tap Mu Li took out a vial of black powder from his storage ring.
This was a pretty effective medicine which could knock out even a Rank 2 magical beast for a short period of time.
It had saved the life of his predecessor many times.
He took a deep breath before sprinkling some of it on his body. This medicine had no side-effects, so he wasn't worried about his health.
In worst case, he would only faint for a few hours.
As expected before long, he started feeling dizzy. But with just a flash of green light from his left palm his mind cleared up and he felt normal once again as if all the previous symptoms were just his illusions.
"Not bad. Now with the power of Sky Poison Pearl in my hand I can take fewer risks and reap more benifits." Mu Li chuckled.
After that, he did a few more experiments but the result remained the same.
After fiddling with it for a long time he suddenly noticed something interesting in his body.
Mu Li discovered a large amount of medicinal residues stored in some hidden corners of his body.
It was the resulting accumulation of all the herbs, pills, elixirs and monster meat with rich energy his predecessor had consumed throughout his life.
The reason why the effect of pills would decrease the more pills you consumed was also because of these medicinal residues.
Normally it's almost impossible for anyone to remedy this situation.
But the Sky Poison Pearl could easily solve this problem because of its absolute power of purification.
So with that in mind, Mu Li immediately activated the Sky Poison Pearl.
Soon all the medicinal residue stored in his body began to move while his body started absorbing all these medicines.
The frightening amount of energy filled Mu Li's whole body before slowly turning into dou qi.
The dou qi vortex in his lower abdomen was continuously absorbing the dou qi and was quickly growing larger.
With an increase in size, the originally leisurely spinning vortex also began rotating at an alarming speed.
Endless natural energy rushed inwards and Mu Li's body continuously turned them into dou qi which started refining his blood, flesh, veins and bones.
Boom.
Breakthrough.
He suddenly reached the 8 Star Dou Zhe realm!
In just an hour, Mu Li broke through the barrier, reaching the next level!
He didn't stop there and continued the refinement. The early stage of 8 Star Dou Zhe… middle stage… late stage… peak…
Within only a few hours' time, he had reached the limit of 8 Star before stepping into 9 Star Dou Zhe level.
He intently and continuously refined the medicinal power, turning it into his own dou qi.
He didn't stop until it was the next day.
His final result was 9 Star Dou Zhe Peak, just one step away from entering the Dou Shi realm.
However, after spending such a long time, all the remaining medicinal energy was already depleted.
"It's finally over." Mu Li smiled in satisfaction as he felt his entire body become full of energy.
While he was at it, he also unlocked all his qi paths including those hidden ones that could increase someone's talent.
Now the talent of this body would never lose to anyone unless he had a bug like physique similar to Little Fairy Doctor or Qing Lin.
After realizing this he licked his lips in anticipation as he tried to imagine what kind of treasures he would find in the system store.
But in order to unlock the store function, he needed 1000 Fate Points. So the next step was to earn some Fate Points.
And Mu Li already had a plan in his mind regarding this issue.
