Chapter 166 - 166 166 Lv Yao's Useless Male Lead Counterattack Script

166: Chapter 166 Lv Yao’s Useless Male Lead Counterattack Script 166: Chapter 166 Lv Yao’s Useless Male Lead Counterattack Script “What?!”

“Spirit Origin?!”

“Does such a thing as a Spirit Origin really exist in this world?!”

Lv Yao was completely thunderstruck, rooted to the spot as he burst out with an excited barrage of questions.

What the heck is a Spirit Origin?

It’s something that only exists in legends.

Yes, legends—there’s not even a record of it in the Scripture Pavilion of his Master’s Sect.

He had only heard about it from his father and his fellow disciples in the sect.

But now, someone was telling him it was real.

And what’s more, he could awaken it?!

This is just like a dream!

Seeing his reaction, Gu Zhiqi knew that he must understand what a Spirit Origin was.

On Aquamarine Star, when a Mystic Master awakens a Spirit Origin, it’s probably akin to an ancient martial artist forming a connection with an Auxiliary Item.

Both are used to aid cultivation, improve combat, and enhance combat power.

As for whether it’s the same in this world, Gu Zhiqi had no idea.

“Master, do you mean to say you can help me awaken citrus smoke so it can become my Spirit Origin?!” After his initial excitement, Lv Yao remembered the main point.

His gaze piercing, he stared intently at Gu Zhiqi.

If looks could kill, Gu Zhiqi might have been reduced to ashes by now.

Listening to Lv Yao, Gu Zhiqi raised an eyebrow, an air of nonchalance and defiance tinting his expression, “No, I can’t.”

Lv Yao: ???

Huh?

Isn’t that what you just implied?

Oh, right, you said it could awaken, but you didn’t say you would help me.

But as for me…

I have no clue how to awaken a Spirit Origin.

So, what’s the use of establishing a connection?

“Awakening a Spirit Origin will cost extra,” Gu Zhiqi added coolly.

Upon hearing this, Lv Yao understood the Master’s meaning.

Without any hesitation, he slammed his hand on the stone table and declared, “Add it!

Definitely add it!”

Gu Zhiqi continued, “Do you know your talent has been sealed?”

In fact, logically speaking, if Lv Yao’s talent had not been sealed, the citrus smoke wouldn’t have been able to harm him.

But as it happened, his talent was sealed.

With his talent sealed, his cultivation speed was agonizingly slow, which meant he gathered less Vital Energy.

Citrus smoke could only thrive in an environment rich with Vital Energy, but given the shortage in Lv Yao’s body, its Light Series properties could hardly nourish much Vital Energy, while its Dark Series properties were continuously eroding what little he had.

Over time, this unsustainable cycle meant his Vital Energy would be constantly drained.

If this continued, in less than a month, he’d be entirely depleted of Vital Energy, and he would die.

“Damn!

What?

My talent is sealed?” Lv Yao’s face spelled sheer bewilderment.

This time, even he couldn’t deny that he might be the Chosen One.

This is totally the backstory of an underdog protagonist on a path of vengeance!

Gu Zhiqi nodded slightly.

“Master, can you remove the seal for me?” Lv Yao asked eagerly, a tinge of apprehension in his eyes.

If the Master could detect the seal within him, surely he could remove it, right?

“Removing a seal will also cost extra,” Gu Zhiqi said in an even tone.

Lv Yao, “…Add it!

Of course, add it!”

“Do you know how to use a Spirit Origin after awakening it?” Gu Zhiqi asked yet another question.

Lv Yao shook his head honestly.

“Oh, you’ll have to pay extra to learn how to use the Spirit Origin.”

Hearing this, Lv Yao suddenly became worried about the state of his wallet, “Master, how much will this all cost in total?”

“Twenty million.”

At that, Lv Yao fell silent.

So, the twenty million plan the Master mentioned earlier…

was this it?!

Thinking this, a wave of relief mixed with fear washed over Lv Yao.

He was so close, so very close, to missing his chance to become the Chosen One!
