YM778.TV Chapter 226 - [Host, It Was A Mutual Cooperation]
Ye Tian Yun opened his eyes.
Suddenly he felt water rush through his nose.
*cough* *cough*
*splash*
He stood up and began to cough up violently.
*haaa* haa*
Drawing long breaths, he finally calmed himself down.
Confused, Ye Tian Yun looked around to understand what was going on.
And then all the memories poured back as he returned to his senses.
He was on the surface of a high-tier spirit vein.
On the system\'s advice, Ye Tian Yun gulped a few droplets of Spirit Water.
As per the system, this was the fastest way to accumulate Spirit Points, and indeed it was.
He was getting lots of Kill Points with every passing moment.
However, all of a sudden, something happened, and he fainted due to lightheadedness.
Frowning, Ye Tian Yun looked around for a bit more and tried to guess what could have happened.
After a few moments, he asked his doubts to the System.
\'System, what just happened?\'
[Host, there was a sudden overload in the Qi flow, this led to your fainting.]
Ye Tian Yun\'s frown deepened, \'Are you trying to say that I fainted and drowned myself by cultivating?\'
[Indeed, Host, never knew you were this fragile.]
\'...\'
Ye Tian Yun rolled back his eyes and asked with a serious tone, \'System, seriously, tell me what happened? I shouldn\'t have fainted because the faster the Qi flows, the better awareness a cultivator has.\'
[Host, there are few exceptions, and today\'s case was one of them. This was why the System asked you earlier to put your trust in it.]
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, \'Well, I did put your trust in you, but… what were you asking me for?\'
[Host, you didn\'t drown yourself, did you?]
\'No... ah, you asked me to trust you so that you can save me from drowning myself?\'
[Indeed, Host.]
\'Hn? Why would you need my trust for that? You can save me on your own, like how you interfered when I lost control of the Sword Domain, and that too, more than just once.\'
[Host, this case was different. Here, it was the System who suggested you the way, and there was a risk. So it\'s good that you only drowned.]
\'What do you mean by only drowned!? There was something even worse that could have happened?\' Ye Tian Yun asked in shock.
[There was a high chance you would have exploded.]
"The fuck-!!!" Ye Tian Yun couldn\'t help but shout out loud.
Suppressing his voice, he continued, \'What do you mean there was a high chance of me exploding? Didn\'t you say that using the Qi nature Sword Intent is the safest bet? So why are you saying something else now?\'
[Host, System did say something like that. However, it wasn\'t a proven fact until now. So from now on, this advice is a pretty valid point.]
\'So.. in other words… I was your guinea pig?\' Ye Tian Yun squinted his eyes.
[Technically, no, since I asked you if you trust me or not.]
\'...\'
[And you did say yes, so that makes this incident mutual cooperation.]
Ye Tian Yun had a big urge to punch the System; unfortunately for him, the System wasn\'t a physical existence.
Taking a deep breath and swallowing his anger, he asked, "So… after this incident, is there still a chance for me to faint?\'
[No, Host. On the first try comes the worst-case scenarios. After this, the outcomes change, and the stakes are lowered. So, losing your consciousness was the worst thing that could happen. Now, in your next tries, it wouldn\'t be this bad.]
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, \'Alright then, let\'s hope this is the case.\'
After a moment of thought, Ye Tian Yun asked, \'System, how many Kill Points have I accumulated?\'
[Accumulated Kill Points: 31045 Kill Points.]
Ye Tian Yun raised his eyebrows in surprise, \'That\'s… not as high as I was actually expecting.\'
[What were you expecting?]
\'At least a hundred thousand...\'
[Maybe if you weren\'t this weak and hadn\'t fainted by cultivating, you could have had five-digit Kill Points.]
\'....\'
\'You don\'t have to rub salt into the wound… I wasn\'t prepared well enough, if you had told me there was a chance of exploding myself or fainting, maybe I would have mentally prepared myself, and things would have turned out pretty different for us.\'
[Maybe. But this doesn\'t change the fact that you fainted within fifteen seconds of drinking a few drops of Spirit Water. Lmao.]
Ye Tian Yun rolled his eyes and changed the topic, \'System, show me my Status.\'

Looking at the status, Ye Tian Yun couldn\'t help but let out a sigh.
It had been about six months since he started, but he wasn\'t even close to a single token.
And there were a total of twelve tokens and four other emblems.
\'The road is still too long, and the time is decreasing.\'
His first target, Xiao Ming, was still three months away.
After getting out of this place, Ye Tian Yun had to plan an escape route. He needed to get out of the sect as soon as possible.
He had to get to the Southern Province before Xiao Ming.
There was a very low chance he would be able to come back to the sect, whether he succeeded or he failed.
And before even thinking of getting out of the Sect, Ye Tian Yun needed to fulfill the hidden reason why he had come and joined the sect.
Because, if things were so convenient, he would have just headed straight to the Southern Province and waited for Xiao Ming after killing Fang Chen.
However, Ye Tian Yun chose to join the sect - because there was one reason other than killing Xiao Ming that he had never focused his mind on - mainly not to distract himself.
