Chapter 48: Demonic Obstacle

After listening to Lü Fengrou’s guidance, Zhang Haoran began to think seriously.

He slowly said, “First, the main purpose is to kill, and the purpose of killing is to practice combat techniques. My true killing moves have only reached Minor Achievement. This is because killing techniques cannot reach Major Achievement through practice. My goal is to become stronger.”

Lü Fengrou looked at Zhang Haoran with interest, seeing that he was speaking from his heart this time, though he had only said half of it.

It was already not easy to get this mysterious fellow, Zhang Haoran, to speak even half of his thoughts. Lü Fengrou continued to ask, “Then, what is the purpose of you becoming stronger?”

Upon hearing Lü Fengrou’s question, his eyes began to glaze over. To be honest, ever since his Transmigration, he had been taking things one step at a time.

This time, Lü Fengrou’s question made him truly fall into thought for the first time. Yes! Why was he living such an exhausting life now?

At this moment, Lü Fengrou became even more confused. I just asked him one question: why become stronger? How did he end up like this? This is a Heart Demon.

Although there is no such thing as a Heart Demon in the High Martial World, there is still the concept of a state of mind. Just like Lü Fengrou, she had fallen into a Heart Demon.

Therefore, even though Lü Fengrou’s Mental Energy was very high, she had been unable to achieve Essence Blood Integration.

Lü Fengrou also didn’t expect that a simple question from her would cause him to fall into a Heart Demon.

Lü Fengrou was a little flustered. She called Li Changsheng and asked him to come up.

As soon as Li Changsheng came up, he knew Zhang Haoran had a problem and questioned Lü Fengrou with his eyes.

Lü Fengrou immediately set up a Mental Energy barrier and said, “I just asked him, ‘Why do you want to become stronger? What is the purpose of becoming stronger?’ And he became like this. Is there something wrong with my question?”

Now, Lü Fengrou was starting to doubt herself.

Li Changsheng looked carefully for a while longer and then said to Lü Fengrou, “It has nothing to do with you; it’s this kid’s own problem.

This kid has too many secrets, and he doesn’t have the strength to bear them. Perhaps the purpose of him becoming stronger is truly simple; it’s just that this kid is still too young and inexperienced. He couldn’t figure it out for a moment and fell into a Heart Demon. However, he should recover very soon.”

Zhang Haoran was oblivious to Li Changsheng’s arrival. At this moment, his mind was replaying all sorts of memories from his previous life.

In his previous life, he was just a small person. Although he was a small person in a peaceful society, he still had the most basic right to survive.

But in the Global High Martial World, it was different. Even if everything followed the original plot, he wasn’t sure if he could survive.

Too many people died in the end. Even the Great Yin King and Martial King Zhang Tao died.

Could he really survive until then?

As for being resurrected by Fang Ping after death, would the resurrected person still be the original person? Perhaps it was just a person imagined by Fang Ping.

He felt that he had arrived with the System and remembered almost the entire original plot.

Was it just for him to self-destruct?

Why? Zhang Haoran felt extremely unwilling in his heart. Since his Transmigration, he seemed to have progressed quickly, but he had been cautious everywhere.

His situation seemed good, but Fang Ping was the protagonist; this was always in his consciousness. He had always acted cautiously, trying his best not to affect the plot.

This was also the first mission the System gave him, which gave him that feeling.

But should he really just continue this way? He was Cultivating very fast now. But would he still be this fast when he reached Fourth-grade and Fifth-grade? Could he also be fast at Sixth-grade sealing the door?

Why did he have to follow the original plot? His cheat was better than Fang Ping’s. He had the Ten Thousand Realms Building behind him.

Why couldn’t he be the protagonist? Thinking of the tragic fates of many people in the original plot, he didn’t want to become one of them.

More people were powerless, only able to watch the stars and offer blessings. He felt that if he were to fall to such a state, it would be better not to Cultivate martial arts. He could still live a few years carefree.

The unwillingness in Zhang Haoran’s heart completely erupted. He absolutely had to kill those dog-like things in the sky.

The one who deserved to die most was the Earth Emperor. Why should you, a useless person who can’t defeat the Heavenly Emperor, drive all of humanity crazy?

Was it easy for him to Transmigrate? He finally Transmigrated, and he hadn’t even gotten a girlfriend.

He had to Cultivate miserably all day long. Wasn’t it just fear of being casually killed by someone?

He didn’t dare to change the plot, wasn’t it just because he was afraid that if Fang Ping couldn’t handle it, he would also have to die with him?

He just wanted to live well, why couldn’t he!

Now Zhang Haoran hated those dog-like things in the sky to death. If you don’t let me live, I will definitely kill you first.

At this moment, in the eyes of Lü Fengrou and Li Changsheng, Zhang Haoran’s eyes were no longer confused, no longer weak, but became exceptionally firm. They even contained a hysterical madness.

He no longer mumbled “why?” From the moment his eyes changed, Lü Fengrou immediately set up a Mental Energy barrier around them, with only the three of them inside.

At this moment, Zhang Haoran’s eyes were wide with fury, sharper than ever before, as he gnashed his teeth and growled, “The purpose of becoming stronger is, of course, to live. I just want to live well, why should I be schemed against by you dog-like things?”

Zhang Haoran’s words conveyed his unwillingness.

He suddenly looked up at the sky. His eyes shot out endless hatred and soaring Killing Intent. His face, however, became extremely cold.

His voice seemed to come from his body and Soul: “Not only do I want to live, but I also want to smash this chessboard and those inhuman, ghost-like dog-things in the sky. If you don’t give me a way to live, I’ll kill you first.”

After venting, his body softly collapsed backward. This was mental fatigue caused by intense emotional fluctuations. Lü Fengrou stepped forward and supported Zhang Haoran, looking at Li Changsheng with wide-eyed shock.

Li Changsheng likewise looked at Lü Fengrou with shock. They both knew that Zhang Haoran carried a great secret.

But they didn’t expect that the purpose of him becoming stronger was so insignificant. He just wanted to live.

What a humble request! He just wanted to live! Who exactly was preventing him from living?

But listening to Zhang Haoran’s last words, they might have discovered an extraordinary, earth-shattering secret.

He wanted to smash the chessboard, whose chessboard?

And those inhuman, ghost-like dog-things in the sky, who exactly were they referring to? Since it was a group, it wasn’t just one person. Being in the sky, they certainly weren’t ordinary people.

Moreover, why were these people preventing him from living? Not giving him a way out. Most importantly, they heard from his words that it didn’t seem to be targeting Zhang Haoran personally.

It was as if a great catastrophe was coming, and Zhang Haoran was merely struggling within it, trying to survive.

But he knew that there was a very high chance he wouldn’t survive.

And the cause of all this was what Zhang Haoran said: the chess players and those inhuman, ghost-like dog-things in the sky.

The combined meaning was: there was a group of people in the sky playing chess, forcing him into a situation where he couldn’t live. He wanted to become stronger, simply to live.

The resentment and Killing Intent that erupted from Zhang Haoran at that moment startled even Lü Fengrou and Li Changsheng, who were accustomed to life and death.
