Chapter 13

If it were them, the weaker they are, the more they have to act tough—only in this way can they suppress those who are itching to make a move.

"It's just a pity that the Vice Leader is currently in the south confronting the Mani Religion's Pagoda King. Otherwise, if the Vice Leader were here, he would definitely be able to find something out!"

A certain elder said regretfully.

The elders of the Vice Leader's faction had no idea that the conclusions they were imagining were already infinitely close to the truth.

Chapter 10: Wool-Gathering—Ahem, Guiding the Juniors

Henry Grant had no idea that in just a short time, the elders of the Vice Leader's faction had almost figured out his background through their own speculation.

At this moment, he had already returned to the Hall of Primordial Beginning where the Supreme Leader resided. Not only did he not suffer any loss from defeating the Sword Maniac, but he also managed to "shear" three thousand luck points from him. His prestige within the Primordial Sect had risen another level, and he had gained quite a lot—feeling very pleased.

"What a pity! If I had known that defeating Ethan Stone would earn me so many luck points, I wouldn't have gone so hard on him!" Henry Grant now felt a bit of regret. Just one defeat of Ethan Stone could yield so many luck points—if he could defeat him a few more times, wouldn't he be set for life?

"A miscalculation, a miscalculation. As a senior expert, it's only reasonable for me to guide the juniors in their cultivation!" Henry Grant stroked his chin and said.

This is definitely not wool-gathering!

Now, Ethan Stone has probably been traumatized by him, and it's almost impossible to expect him to come challenge again anytime soon.

But that's also because Ethan Stone's own strength is high enough, and he contains enough luck. If it were someone weaker, defeating them probably wouldn't yield many luck points—unless he went for quantity, otherwise, this would be a losing business.

"That's right, as a senior, guiding the juniors in their cultivation fits perfectly with my persona as the number one righteous leader!" In Henry Grant's mind flashed all sorts of ideas for wool-gathering—ahem, for guiding the younger generation in their cultivation. "I really am a warm-hearted, helpful senior expert. I'm truly a clever big shot—let me give myself a like!"

After giving himself a like, Henry Grant checked his own attribute panel.

Host: Henry Grant

Race: Human

Realm: Dao Realm (severely weakened)

Lifespan: Thirty-seven days

Luck Points: 5000

Now that he had five thousand luck points, the urgent matter was to decide how to best use them.

From the memories of his previous self, Henry Grant understood one thing: no matter what resources you get, as long as you can and as long as you need them, you must convert them into your own strength as soon as possible.

Right now, Henry Grant was really lacking in everything, especially lifespan—only thirty-seven days left.

The first thing to do was to exchange for two bottles of life nutrient solution to extend his lifespan by two months, reaching ninety-seven days.

Henry Grant gave a bitter smile—he probably never imagined that one day his life would be calculated in days.

Next, he would exchange for two more Peak Experience Cards.

Because he didn't know when another reckless guy like the Sword Maniac Ethan Stone would show up again. Although he now planned to "shear some wool" from these reckless types, the premise was that he needed the strength to do so, so as not to have his paper tiger mask torn off.

With the last one thousand points, Henry Grant planned to try out the lottery part of this Supreme Luck System.

This was the only part he hadn't tried yet.

"System, lottery!"

As soon as Henry Grant finished speaking, a spinning wheel appeared before him. The wheel was shrouded in chaos, then quickly began to spin, and after a moment, it stopped.

"Invincible Defense Card *1 (When triggered, you enter an invincible state. All attacks are completely ineffective, duration: three seconds)."

Invincible state!

This was even more powerful than any Peak State Card, because even at his previous peak, he couldn't claim to be invincible—there were still a few in the world who could match him.

But this invincibility was truly invincible!

During those three seconds, no attack could harm him.

Although three seconds isn't long, for top experts, three seconds is enough to decide the outcome of a battle—it's like having an extra life.

To draw such a good item on the first try—could it be that my hidden bloodline is that of a European Emperor?

But soon, Henry Grant dismissed this thought.

"Thank you for participating!"

"Thank you for participating!"

"Thank you for participating!"

...

Eight consecutive "thank you for participating" almost made Henry Grant lose his composure. He had just suspected he had the luck of a European Emperor, but now he realized he was overthinking it—he was definitely a non-chosen one.

It wasn't until the very last draw that he got a Peak State Card, which gave him a bit of comfort.

But overall, this round wasn't a loss. Even though he got eight "thank you for participating," just one Peak State Card was enough to break even, and with the addition of an Invincible Defense Card, it was absolutely worth it.

Henry Grant checked the shop module, and sure enough, the Invincible Defense Card he drew had appeared in the shop as well, priced at five thousand luck points.

An absolute steal!
