Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 615 - 284 Sudden Change! (6400 words)_3

Yu Xiaolong said, "Hiss, this inheritance is about to disappear!"

Meng Ran said, "In his life, the Dragon Emperor aspired to teach without discrimination, spreading his Dao to all living beings. Now that his final wish has been fulfilled, it is time for the inheritance to depart!"

Ao Canghai felt like he was about to vomit blood. "No, Ancestor, don't go! I haven't received the inheritance yet! Wait!"

How has his final wish been fulfilled? It seemed he was the only one here who hadn't gained a single benefit from the Ancient Stele. How could this possibly count as fulfilled?

Watching the speck of dust continually shrink, about to vanish completely into the void, Ao Canghai's eyes turned red. He threw all caution to the wind and shouted, "Ancestor, don't go! Look at me! I can be alluring too! I'm the most alluring in all the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths! A hundred thousand times more alluring than that enchantress from the Blissful Immortal Sect!"

[Ding! Detected someone bragging nearby. Congratulations, Host, for gaining +999 Mana!]

As he spoke, he tore off his shirt, revealing one shoulder. A dragon tattoo coiled around it like a ribbon. Paired with his seductive pose, the sight stunned everyone present.

Everyone was dumbfounded, smacking their lips in disbelief.

"Holy shit!"

"My eyes!"

"Is he really that desperate?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

"He's really putting it all on the line!"

Even the enchantress from the Blissful Immortal Sect was dumbstruck, her small mouth agape in shock. After all her years in the world of pleasure, she had certainly seen her share of seductive men. But to see a proud, cold, unparalleled prodigy like Ao Canghai suddenly adopt such a style was truly jaw-dropping. The contrast was just too astonishing...

At the same time, behind the teetering Ancient Stele, Wang Xiu, who had been about to wrap things up, was also stunned by the scene.

He had intentionally withheld a reward from Ao Canghai. This man had a dark and ambitious mind, the type who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Wang Xiu wanted nothing to do with such a person. But now, seeing how far Ao Canghai was willing to go, Wang Xiu thought for a moment and decided to give him a small taste of success.

With a mere thought, the speck of dust in the starry sky above, which had been on the verge of disappearing, trembled. It released a single glimmer of light that descended upon Ao Canghai.

This strand of Dao Yun was not powerful, paling in comparison to the benefits the others had received. But it was enough to bring Ao Canghai to tears, nearly making him cry on the spot.

This wasn't easy! It was too damn hard! When have I, Ao Canghai, ever suffered such an indignity in my entire life? *Sob*... But this Dao Yun... is simply divine!

...

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

All the light dissipated. The Ancient Stele shook violently, and the Daoist Text inscribed upon it vanished without a trace. It turned into ordinary sea stone and collapsed like a mountain, creating a tremendous commotion. The area was plunged into chaos as dust and smoke billowed, and the lingering fluctuations of Dao Yun threw the surrounding void into disarray.

Everyone scrambled to get out of the way.

Taking this opportunity, Wang Xiu, still concealed by the Taixu Cloaking Incantation, slipped silently back into the crowd.

As the dust settled, Yu Xiaolong looked at Wang Xiu and let out a small exclamation. "Brother Wang, did you receive the inheritance just now?" He recalled Wang Xiu being quiet the entire time.

"Er..." Wang Xiu smiled faintly and said, "Thanks to the Dragon Emperor's esteem, I was also fortunate enough to receive a few strands of Dao Yun. The gains were quite substantial!"

Yu Xiaolong looked at Wang Xiu and sighed. "Brother Wang, you're too kind. You were the only one who could understand the Daoist Text. If you had kept quiet and waited for everyone to leave, you could have come back here and claimed the greatest reward for yourself, couldn't you?"

At these words, everyone present looked over, their expressions complex.

Indeed, without Wang Xiu's guidance, they would have had no idea how to obtain the inheritance. They probably would have continued fighting as before—losing their lives, accumulating negative karma, and likely gaining nothing for their troubles.

Wang Xiu chuckled lightly and said righteously, "Brother Yu, you are mistaken! The Dragon Emperor held the welfare of the world in his heart, setting aside personal desire to pass on his inheritance to all living things. What a noble cause! I was fortunate enough to stand before this Ancient Stele and witness the splendor of the Dragon Emperor of old. That in itself is a tremendous blessing. How could I then harbor selfish desires and try to monopolize this opportunity? Would that not go against the Dragon Emperor's original intentions?"

The young scholar Meng Ran's eyes lit up. He walked over and cupped his hands in a salute. "Bravo! Brother Wang's actions show the true bearing of a gentleman. Meng Ran is full of admiration! Please accept my respects..."

He made to bow without hesitation.

Wang Xiu quickly helped him up. "It was nothing, really! Please, rise!"

The prodigy from the Li Clan, Li Daqiang, approached with his hammer shouldered and said in his booming voice, "I don't get all that fancy reasoning, but I know I owe you one! In the future, if you need my help with anything, or if there's anyone you need me to kill, just say the word. I won't refuse!"

The enchantress from the Blissful Immortal Sect glided over gracefully. She bent low in a salute, revealing a large expanse of her fair skin, and said with a flirtatious gaze and a coquettish voice, "Your great nobility is truly impressive, sir. If you ever find yourself in the Yaoguang Heavenly Realm, please come find me at the Blissful Pavilion. I will be sure to repay you properly. I guarantee I'll let you taste a pleasure that melts the bones and consumes the soul... and it'll be free!"

More and more prodigies came over to express their goodwill toward Wang Xiu.

To be honest, they had participated in many trials in Secret Realms and forbidden lands, but every single one had devolved into a bloodbath. The fact that they had survived until now was largely due to luck. They had never seen someone who knew such a crucial secret willingly publicize it for everyone's benefit when there was absolutely no need to.

A person like that was either a fool or a true Saint.

Undoubtedly, no one thought Wang Xiu was a fool. And while many might see his actions as unwise and contrary to his own self-interest, it was undeniable that no one would refuse to be friends with such a person.

Zhao Qingyu also walked over. Looking at Wang Xiu, she sighed softly and gave him an alluring eye-roll that was utterly captivating.
