"YOU SHOULD DIE FOR YOUR INSOLENCE!"
The elder's voice thundered across the sect's grand hall, shaking the pillars and silencing the crowd.
His white robes, embroidered with golden dragons, fluttered as if caught in an unseen wind.
"You dare to defy my decree, Lin Fan? A mere outer disciple challenging the will of the Grand Elder? You should die for your insolence! Not just you but your entire bloodline should perish,"
Lin Fan, a young man clad in tattered robes, knelt on the cold stone floor.
His dark eyes were steady, even as blood dripped from his split lip.
The sect's elite disciples surrounded him, sneering, their auras flaring like flames ready to burn him to ashes.
"Grand Elder," Lin Fan spoke, his voice calm yet resolute.
"All I did was refuse to hand over the Spirit Vein I found. It's the sect's rule that such discoveries belong to the finder,"
"Rules?"
The Grand Elder's laughter was cold, his spiritual pressure crushing down on Lin Fan.
Have eyes but failed to see?
"Rules are dictated by power! You, a mere ant, dare to cling to such trinkets? You will pay for this arrogance!"
"Throw him out of sect"
"Cripple him"
"Send him to mine ores for ten thousand years"
"send him to breed cows and pigs"
"kill him"
The crowd cheered.
Lin Fan's peers, who had once shared meals with him, now looked on with disdain or indifference.
"Strip him of his cultivation!" the Grand Elder commanded.
A burly inner disciple stepped forward, cracking his knuckles.
"Don't worry, Junior brother Lin Fan. I'll make it quick,"
He smiled menacingly.
As the disciple approached, Lin Fan clenched his fists, his heart pounding.
"I can't die here. Not like this,"
Just as the disciple reached for him, a strange voice echoed in Lin Fan's mind.
[Infinite Wealth System Activating…]
"What?" Lin Fan thought, his eyes widening.
[Host detected in a state of crisis. Initializing reward: Emergency Protection.]
A blinding golden light erupted from Lin Fan's body, throwing the approaching disciple back with a scream.
Pfft-
Colliding with wall, the burly man coughed some blood.
The oppressive spiritual pressure vanished, and the Grand Elder's face twisted in shock.
"W-what is this?" the elder stammered.
Lin Fan heard the voice again, calm and mechanical.
[Congratulations, Host. You have been awarded 10,000 Spirit Stones for surviving the crisis. Additional rewards unlocked: Divine Grade Spiritual Armor.]
A shimmering suit of golden armor materialized around Lin Fan, fitting perfectly to his frame.
The crowd gasped as they felt the terrifying aura emanating from the armor.
"How is this possible?" the Grand Elder demanded, his voice trembling.
Lin Fan rose to his feet, his battered body now glowing with vitality.
He glanced at the notification window only he could see.
[New Mission: Avenge Yourself.]
Lin Fan smirked, his voice carrying through the hall.
"You wanted to strip my cultivation, Grand Elder? Let's see if you can strip this armor off me first!"
He was full of arrogance.
The tide had turned.
"Courting death!? Don't blame me for being rude,"
The great elder, second only to sect ancestor gritted his teeth.
Dark aura surrounds his fist.
Bang!
With a rapid speed, Great Elder punched Li Fan.
Crack!
The spiritual armor instantly broke.
W-what!?
Li Fan who had become arrogant was now filled with fear.
Oh Lord.
[Ding! Danger detected... The system will forcefully teleport Host somewhere far in 10 seconds]
[9 seconds]
Heeding this, Li Fan looked at Great Elder.
"Nine Heaven Holy Land and Great Elder... I, Li Fan, will pay ten times for today's humiliation,"
Li Fan roared.
Bururum!
Instantly sky stripped open, a heavenly light descending upon Li Fan, recognizing his vow.
Swoosh!
Li Fan's figure blurred before vanishing.
...
"Great Elder, what should we do!?" Burly disciple asked.
"Hmph! Let that brat go... We already have spirit vein," Great Elder snorted not putting lowly Li Fan in his eyes.
+---+
Somewhere else in a green forest, filled with tall trees.
Li Fan took some deep breaths feeling overjoyed at his survival.
[Ding! You have made a heavenly vow to pay ten time for humiliation]
[System is pleased to have such a host, offers 10 million spirit stones]
Li Fan looked confused.
From child, grown up in Nine Heaven Holy land, he didn't understood what kind of existence was this blue window Infront of him.
"Are you immortal?" he asked.
[No!]
[I am system desu!]
"SYSTEM!?" he screamed.
"So, what it is!?"
[Ding! The system is most powerful existence. I can help Host become stronger]
"Help me become is stronger?"
[Correct! I am infinite wealth system, I can grant host infinite spirit stones. When host spends those spirit stones, you gain system points ]
[However, Host can't spend those spirit stones mindlessly otherwise, you can't gain any system point, at worse, you might lose system point]
Lin Fan's eyes sparkled as he stared at the glowing blue window before him.
"Infinite spirit stones? Are you serious?"
[Correct! Host is now bound to the Infinite Wealth System. Utilize your wealth wisely, and you shall ascend to the pinnacle of cultivation.]
A surge of excitement coursed through him.
"Can I cultivate too?"
[Correct! With system, you can cultivate even faster than those once-in-a-lifetime geniuses]
[System gives lots and lots of gifts daily for Host to showoff and gain affection of women, and slap others in their face]
Li Fan nodded silently.
To think he would gain 10 Million spirit stones for free.
He would only gain 100 spirit stone as outer disciple of Nine Heaven Holy land.

"Senior brother, I think I just saw a ordinary human,"
"Really?"
Two disciples who were riding a flying cloud, looked at eachother.
"Someone has entered our demonic sect!? Quite bold... Let's go and kill him,"
"Umm! Umm!" He nodded.
[Ding! Danger detected, two powerful figure are approaching]
Li Fan: "..."
What's with this bad luck.
Frist Great elder and now someone else.
Why is death chasing him everywhere today, when it was supposed to be good day.
