In the Gu Family mansion, lying on a soft bed worth two million dollars.
Gu Yan began examining his evolved Pure Love Cultivation Technique.
"Why use the word 'evolved' anyway? Are you really a legitimate system?"
Gu Yan complained while opening the introduction section of the Pure Love Cultivation Technique.
[Cosmic Pure Love Technique - Stage Two]
[The Cosmic Pure Love Technique: Simply by performing acts of pure love, one can activate pure love energy! This energy cleanses the meridians of the technique's master, continuously nourishing the body, making it stronger, and making learning anything twice as effective!]
The first stage introduction ended there.
So... what changes came with stage two?
Thinking this, Gu Yan continued reading.
[Pure Love Energy Value: 122353]
[In stage two, besides exchanging items in the shop, the pure love energy can be actively used by the technique's master. For specific operation procedures, the host should figure it out themselves.]
[Note: This technique cannot advance through normal cultivation methods, it can only advance through accumulating pure love energy from interactions between the host and their pure love interest.]
[Stage Three Progress: 1%]
Slap!
Gu Yan covered his face: "Come on, how am I supposed to use this?? What kind of cryptic system are you??"
Gu Yan took a deep breath. When he read this part, he could barely keep it together. He had thought this system was a bit unorthodox when he first transmigrated.
But now looking at it, sure enough, this system was definitely not orthodox.
No, no, he had to stay calm. He was already on this system's boat and couldn't get off.
Since he could only rely on the Pure Love Cultivation Technique for this lifetime, then... then...
Might as well keep reading.
[Don't underestimate our pure love bond!!!]
"Isn't there any normal introduction at all??"
Gu Yan quickly scrolled down, wanting to question this dog system's mental state.
After scrolling through a bunch of chuunibyou-style introductions.
He finally found something useful.
[Stage two technique allows you to see everyone's 'Pure Love Resistance Value']
[The higher the Pure Love Resistance Value, the more pure love energy the host needs to consume when affecting that person]
?
Gu Yan slowly typed out a question mark. Pure Love Resistance Value??
What kind of world was this? How did terms like Pure Love Resistance Value even exist??
Never mind, Gu Yan took a deep breath and got up from the bed.
Since according to the explanation, he could actively use pure love energy, then... let's try it out!
But...
He looked at his hand: "How do I actively use it though?"
Gu Yan thought for a moment, suddenly remembering when he shattered marble with one punch in the banquet hall earlier.
Opening his palm then making a fist, Gu Yan chuckled and shook his head: "It can't be that I just think about getting stronger and then I'll actually get stronger, right?"
The next second.
A prompt appeared in his mind.
[Consumed 100,000 pure love value!! Host has obtained early-stage Innate Realm cultivation! Not enough pure love value for mid-stage Innate Realm, so advancement stopped!]
Gu Yan: "........"
!!!
"Hey hey hey, no way? Seriously?"
Gu Yan could hardly believe it. He jumped in place and found his body felt much lighter.
When he clenched his fist again, he seemed to feel an additional power within his body.
He was shocked.
Just like that... he leveled up??
Pure love value had this kind of effect??
What the hell? Is this something that should exist in a low-level martial arts world??
You should apologize to all those martial artists who trained so hard!
Whew.
Gu Yan took a deep breath. What's done is done.
He looked out the window, his eyes eager to try. Anyway, let's first test out what his current situation is!
Thus, that night, an urban legend spread through the Tianhu Cave Villa District.
They said a black shadow flashed past from a fifth-floor window.
But when they checked the surveillance footage, they couldn't find any trace of anyone.
.........
.........
The next day.
Gu Yan was woken up by noise.
He rubbed his eyes, looking at the person standing helplessly beside his bed.
Somewhat confused: "Dad, what are you doing? Shouldn't you be at work?"
Seeing Gu Yan's completely unconcerned attitude, Gu Tianming became instantly furious. He said sternly: "Did you beat up half of Jianghai City's prominent figures last night?"
Hearing this, Gu Yan yawned, saying nonchalantly: "Oh, that? I didn't beat them up."
"They just happened to run into my fists."
That's still beating them up!
After confirming this response.
Gu Tianming felt a headache coming on. Beating up people from other small families was one thing.
But the main issue was that he had beaten up the young miss of the Yan Family.
This was problematic, as they were no lesser than the Gu Family.
Now the Yan Family was leading half of Jianghai City's families to demand an explanation, giving him quite a headache.
Yet the instigator was sleeping quite contentedly.
Gu Tianming looked at Gu Yan, perhaps thinking of something, and sighed: "Anyway, I've managed to suppress the matter."
"They wanted you to apologize in person, but......"
Gu Tianming's face showed pride and disdain: "My son, Gu Tianming's son, beat someone up - so what? I'd like to see who dares to do anything to you!"
Gu Yan nodded upon hearing this: "Oh."
"Just 'oh'? Ah...."
Gu Tianming's mouth twitched, feeling his efforts were wasted. He sat on Gu Yan's bedside and patiently said: "Yan, Dad's not blaming you for beating people up."
"If I really wanted to blame you, I wouldn't have helped you"
At this point, Gu Yan interrupted: "Let me cut in - they insulted my Qingqiu first. If I hadn't considered your face, Dad, I would have beaten up everyone watching the show at that banquet!"
Seeing Gu Yan's righteous attitude as if doing it all for his sake, Gu Tianming felt both angry and amused.
He advised: "I know you care for your beloved, but have you thought about our family's annual meeting?"
Speaking of which, Gu Tianming's brows furrowed together: "This year is your last chance, Yan. If you get rejected three times in a row, you'll lose your qualification to inherit the Gu Family Group."
"When that happens, such a large Gu Family Group will have to be handed over to someone else suitable after I die."
At this point, Gu Tianming suddenly noticed something. He reached out and grabbed Gu Yan's wrist.
In less than a moment, he was startled and looked at Gu Yan in disbelief: "Wait, you....."
Gu Yan nodded, speaking as if about something trivial: "Yes, I've reached the Innate Realm, and Dad, you don't need to worry about the annual meeting votes at all."
Speaking of this, under Gu Tianming's somewhat dazed gaze, Gu Yan smiled: "The heir will only be me."
Gu Tianming's expression was strange as he repeatedly gripped Gu Yan's wrist, muttering: "This shouldn't be possible... how could it be..."
"How could someone with such worthless talent reach the Innate Realm?"
Most importantly.
He looked at Gu Yan with confusion: "You know about martial artists?"
Hearing this, Gu Yan replied matter-of-factly: "As the eldest son of the Gu Family, isn't it normal to know about martial artists?"
"By the way, Dad, how many martial artists do we have in our family? It's not just Old Gao, right?"
Gu Tianming found he could hardly recognize his son anymore.
He shook his head: "Don't joke around, the Gu Family's foundation can be considered the strongest in all of Jianghai City."
Speaking of this, Gu Tianming was also quite proud: "I can say this - unless all the families in Jianghai City come to besiege our Gu Family."
"Then, you can live your life worry-free as the young master of the Gu Family."
Hey hey, please don't raise such strange flags.
