Chapter 4: Generous Compensation

--- Chapter 4 ---

"Start!"

Xiao Yan's voice filled Baek Ain's ears.

Gu Xun'er casually jumps forward and uses a simple palm attack to defeat Baek Ain. It's more than enough to defeat him, which she confidently thought so.

Even though Gu Xun'er is suppressing her cultivation to 1 star Dou Practitioner like Baek Ain, her physical strength surpasses that of Dou Master easily.

'This is my victory.'

However, to everyone's surprise, Baek Ain stepped forward and used his elbow to change the direction of Gu Xun'er palm. He locked her arm joint and slammed her down to the ground.

BAM! New novel chapters are published on

It looks simple, but Baek Ain used three skills simultaneously.

First, He used Dash to gain more momentum.

Second, He activated the "Rock-like body." to become more rigid.

And third, he applied a wrestling move from CQC quickly.

Someone who looked down on others wouldn't expect this.

"How?" Xiao Yan and Yao Chen are speechless.

Yet, the most shocked individual on this street is none other than Gu Xun'er herself. She felt the dirt on her fair face and had this impulse to attack.

A golden flame flashed in Gu Xun'er eyes.

BAM!

COUGH!

Gu Xun'er slammed her hand on Baek Ain's chest, sending him flying like a kite to a sturdy wall. He spewed a mouthful of blood and looked at her with a relieved expression.

"T-This is my loss..." Baek Ain smiled at her.

"Thank you for the spar..."

'Oh no! I just raised my cultivation by a whole great realm!' Gu Xun'er realized her mistake, staring at the injured young man solemnly.

"Xiao Ge, I-I..."

Xiao Yan rushed to Baek Ain and checked the injuries, hearing Yao Chen's words in his mind.

'He's sturdy for 1 Star Dou Practitioner. Well, he is still badly injured.'

'Bring him back, Xiao Yan. The healing pill we just made in the mountain should be effective for him.'

'Okay.' Xiao Yang nodded somewhat reluctantly.

He turned around and smiled at Gu Xun'er. "Don't worry. He'll be fine."

[Type: Medicine/Recovery Item]

[Grade: B+]

[Description: Fifth Tiers: Three Stages Blooming Flower Pills are medicinal pills with potent healing properties, having an effect for recovering anyone below Dou King's level instantly. It's also an excellent resource for one's cultivation as the medicinal herb used to make it could push one's Dou Qi naturally]

"Is it safe for me to consume this? I might explode, you know?"

[Scanning...]

[The system recommended the host consume the pill while cultivating the Golden Crow's Record of the Burning World. You could reach 1st stage efficiently with it]

"Oh, I haven't checked the reward yet. This technique is from Against the God's World, vastly larger than Battle Through the Heaven's World."

"It should help me cultivate faster..."

"Way faster than Xiao Yan because the Record of the Burning World is a divine technique."

Since Baek Ain possessed Golden Crow and White Tiger's blessing, he wouldn't have a problem cultivating the Record of the Burning World because it bypasses the bloodline's requirements.

The system even confirmed it for him.

"To make sure once again. You should have covered me from external perception, right? We are talking about a cultivation technique from a literal divine beast here, you perverted system. I don't want to take my chance and gather attention from powerful people toward my home late at night."

[Trust me, host]

"No."

[...]

"..."

"I'm just giving the benefit of the doubt here, System."

"All this annoyance is dragged into my life, pulling and forcing me into doing tedious stuff. My dream is to sleep all day and enjoy my peaceful life, but no. A random woman slapped something to my chest, an insect bastard killed me, and an unknown goddess chose me as her champion."

"And here I am in another world arguing with the system..."

"Do you know how absurd it sounds?" Baek Ain vented his frustration and indifferently gazed into the system's panel.

[Deploying Barrier around the host]

[Please be reassured, host. The system will handle any possible threats]

Maybe it is just Baek Ain's feeling, but the system sounds less monotonous than before.

Baek Ain rubbed his forehead because he had nothing to lose here and told the system to impart the Golden Crow's Record of the Burning World straight into his head.

He picked one of the pills Gu Xun'er gave to him as compensation and swallowed it. Sitting on the bed comfortably, Baek Ain fell into a dream-like state and saw a massive golden crow.

Seven hours went on quickly.

And the next day, someone knocked on Baek Ain's door.

In a dim room, a white-haired young man with a decently handsome face but a mysterious aura sat on a scorched bed. He opened his eyes slowly and revealed a pair of otherworldly hazel-gold eyes with pupils burning in majestic golden flame.
