System Upgrade

ONE OF THE famous and revered empires of Da Shenghou had turned into ruins, while the other was left alone with no one to rule over, vied upon by other empires to colonize.No one would think, however, that it was the doing of just one person. Yang Lujia was his name—the root of all causes.

He killed Yan Xiao, the Crown Prince of the Flaming Dragon Empire. It truly angered Yan Xiao's father, the said empire's emperor, Yan Long. Killing a crown prince was tantamount to slapping the emperor, not to mention his blood ran in Yan Xiao's veins. Moreover, Yang Lujia placed the blame for Yan Xiao's death on the Left Minister of the Holy Flood Empire. This further infuriated Yan Long.

Until that time, no one knew what truly happened—the not-so-political power behind the scenes, but a literally powerful person who bred such destruction. To note, especially, that Yang Lujia didn't even need to use his own two hands for his cautiousness.

Wondering at the golden light that floated in front of him, he gently rubbed his chin. "System, what do you think is this?"

[Ding! Conditions are met for the system to upgrade! Child of Pan Gu's luck is plundered and will immediately fuse with the system after the Host confirms permission to upgrade!]

[Ding! Will the Host choose to upgrade the system?]

"Yes, I assume?" Yang Lujia unknowingly blurted out. "By the way, system, what will happen after your upgrade?"

[Ding! Reminding the Host that the system will enter into hibernation for two days for an upgrade! Upgrading…]

"Hey, system!" Yang Lujia helplessly called out. "Anyhow, let's see Diyu and Long Guang first."

When each of his disciples defeated their opponents, the trio went back to the War Dragon Sect. In Yang Lujia's courtyard, Lin Diyu already kowtowed in front of his master. This was his master for a lifetime. This was the master, the true father he needed, the person he could find care and love from.

Yes. Fuck that political father who only wished for his own wealth and prosperity and did not care about the welfare of his family or the people around him. Those merciless types of people shouldn't even deserve a space in this world.

Lin Fan had also been a thorn in his heart, a grievance he had been carrying with him all this time. If not for his master, he wouldn't have been able to redeem himself from this demon's grasp. After all, if Lin Fan hadn't been eliminated, his cultivation might not have progressed further.

"Lin Diyu, you don't have to kowtow. It's only a duty I have to fulfill as your master," Yang Lujia said, ever so profoundly. "We will have to stay in the sect for two days. After that, we're going to have our first barbecue party by eating void beasts!"

Long Guang happily squealed and clapped his little hands while flying around above Yang Lujia's courtyard. As the silence continued, Yang Lujia decided to walk around the sect while waiting for the two days to pass.

In two days, there weren't that many disciples training as before. Nevertheless, he could understand that perhaps the others were being hustled by their own masters. Due to the recent destruction of two empires, the sect must have decided to settle for good and train more to increase manpower.

Well, they really didn't need to do that. After all, with Yang Lujia in the picture, who could possibly hurt a hair of the War Dragon Sect? It was just that… he held the belief that 'keeping a low profile would keep him safe from any danger'.

While waiting for the system prompt, Yang Lujia went to the Sect Master's courtyard and asked for some things he could do for the sect. "Sect Master, what do you think I could do for the sect since I couldn't practice cultivation? I've been thinking about it a lot. I don't want to become a forever-burden to the sect, you know?"

The Sect Master, sitting opposite to him, smiled amiably while drinking his tea. "Lu'er, there's nothing much to do in the sect. You don't have to worry." He then shifted his topic to another. "Can you really not practice?"

"Yes, Sect Master," Yang Lujia solemnly replied. "I don't know why, but perhaps I could help with preaching to some of the students in our sect. You should know that even my grandfather would listen to my words almost every day."

The Sect Master's eyes lit up. "Then, can you first preach to my direct disciples?! It would be an honor for them to listen to your preaching, Lu'er!"

"Nah, I'm just trying to kill time," Yang Lujia thought to himself.

"Where are your disciples now, Sect Master?"

"I'll call them now!" Just as the Sect Master was about to fly away and find his direct disciples, he stopped his tracks and stared back at Yang Lujia.

Yang Lujia was bewildered by the beaming face of the Sect Master. "What's the matter, Sect Master?"

The Sect Master still had his excited face and he went closer to Yang Lujia. "Lu'er, can I listen to your preaching as well? Pretty please?"

"Huh?" Yang Lujia was stumped and then came to a realization about something. "When I was preaching before, in front of several disciples, were you there hiding and listening to me as well?"

"Ah… t-that…" The Sect Master's face turned bright red. "I… I didn't know you're that good…" He then solidified his expression, but his face still looked like an old tomato. "Besides, you can't blame me! Even your grandfather listens to you!"

Yang Lujia sighed at the thought. Speaking of his grandfather, somewhat, he missed him. After all, that old man raised him like a child on Earth. If it were anyone who picked him up from that battleground, he wouldn't have been able to live an idle life like today.

"By the way, Lu'er, is it really true that you have 'that' physique?"

For a moment, he was taken aback by the Sect Master's query. Then, he answered and intentionally dimed his forehead. "Yes, it was a mortal physique. That kind of mortal body shows its worth when it preaches something. His preaching becomes the order of heaven and earth. This body is like a treasure to everyone as it can help others cultivate faster. However, the preacher himself couldn't do so."

The Sect Master lightly nodded. "It's what your grandfather told me as well."

"Told my ass," Yang Lujia thought, but on the outside, he only responded with a nod.

According to the system, he had the body that was known to be the strongest body in the universe. However, the system itself didn't know the name. So, he would try to find information about it himself. This might be the reason why he could preach as well as if the heaven and earth would sing or chant as he talked about cultivation in front of a person or several people, a small or large audience.

"Master! Master!"

When Yang Lujia heard the voices, he froze on the spot. Two voices. One sounded like a teenager, the other was childlike.

"Fuck!"
