Ch.2 My Opportunity(2)

"Get all those messy thoughts out of your head!!!"

Neo warned as he gave her another finger and flipped, Yulan's cheeks bulged like a hamster she looked like an aggrieved cat.

"Just you wait!!"

Yulan warned though her anger was mostly fake, Neo just ignored her as he didn't want to step on this landmine for now.

Seeing herself being ignored Yulan just puffed her cheeks but didn't say anything else, folding her hands she stood there looking forward.

Their antics didn't disturb today's ceremony, as more students went to awaken their Lord's Heart.

All the students who ranked in the top ten swiftly awakened their lord's hearts but that number started to decline after that.

So after an hour or so, those who had to awaken had already awakened and those who failed were transported out by the teacher to make sure that they didn't make a scene here.

Of the eight-hundred students that were in the school this year only a hundred or so managed to awaken their lord's heart.

If this number is taken as average then the total number of people that awakened their lord's heart from the entire human alliance should be around ten thousand.

"Be careful ok.."

"Try not to be extreme..."

"Be aggressive son..."

Now the students were surrounded by their parents as they gave their advice or gave them motivation to move forward.

After all once a person enters the Lord Continent either they will survive for ten years or perish and be forgotten from history.

Neo as an orphan should have been standing alone but his friend Yulan couldn't see such a scene so she dragged him to see her parents.

Well, that's the excuse she made anyway, the only reason Neo went with her is because he felt guilty of taking a loan of 10 million dollars from her.

"Mama, don't worry.."

Yulan said adorably as she hugged her mother, Neo just stood to the side feeling the silent glare of her father.

Both of them didn't speak but one to see for Yulans fathers face that he had a hundreds words to say to Neo but didn't dare say it.

He a dignified divine lord, one of the supreme elders of the Mu family could only watch helplessly as he watched his daughter's heart being snatched by this boy.

"Try not to die kid, otherwise Yulan will be sad..."

Jiayi Mu spoke in a cold tone, though Neo could feel this man's true feelings beneath his cold words.

"Don't worry Uncle Mu, I don't want to die so soon..."

Neo spoke as he watched the figure of mother and daughter chatting away, the students watched with side eyes from time to time as they saw the cheerful behavior of the always cold girl.

Thump!

The hearts of all the new lords thumped as they felt the call of the Lord Continent, the single beat spread as the sounds of heartbeat started to rise.

"Have a safe journey you two..."

Yulan's mother spoke as she had a gentle smile as she looked at the figure of Yulan and then at the figure of Neo standing at the side.

She has always liked this hardworking young man who never cried due to his poverty, never took advantage of his friendship with her daughter to get reach, and who didn't like to be indebted to others.

"Hey Neo~~"

Yulan's sudden call broke her thoughts as she watched her daughter walk toward Neo with a sly smile on her face.

Knowing what was coming she glared at her husband who was about to make a move.

"Ye.."

Neo couldn't finish his words as his lips were sealed, feeling the heat coming from his lips and the body of Yulan hugging him, his brain shuttled down.

Jiayi's face turned red with anger, but he barely managed to control it under the gaze of his wife.

"Your first kiss is mine~~"

Yulan spoke as their lips parted, her face a little red as she looked more beautiful than ever before. Even Neo's heartbeat accelerated as he barely managed to calm himself down.

"Though~~.. If you indulge with other women in... then do wait for the consequence~~"

These words which Yulan spoke in a cute tone had quite a cold undertone to them, this made Neo snap out of his thoughts as he looked at Yulan who was backing away.

All the new lords' hearts started to glow as they knew they were now going to be sent to the Lord's continent.

Various thoughts flashed passed Neo's mind as he looked at the figure of Yulan who was backing away with a smile on her face.

With a swift movement, their parted lips met again but this time the kiss was initiated by Neo and not Yulan.

This made Yulan's eyes widen as never in a million years would she have thought that Neo would do such an action.

"I hate giving a loan to someone as much as I hate taking a loan from someone.. So just wait little missy I will repay you soon.."

As their lips parted Neo spoke with a smile on his face, a smile that Yulan rarely saw on his face.

With those final words, both their figure and all the new lords disappeared with a white light shining on them.

...

With a flash of light, Neo found himself floating in a dark void, not panicked by it Neo closed his eyes as he relaxed the turbulent emotion he felt when interacting with Yulan.

"That girl... doesn't she know how hard it is to hold back for me...'

Neo complained to the void but got no answer, opening his eyes he looked at the message floating in front of his eyes.

[Welcome New Lord, Today Your Journey Shall Start So Please Choose Your Initial Troops]

[1: Random Troop, 2: Create Troop]

The words shown by the All Heaven System appeared in front of him as his journey officially started.

There were two options in front of him, under normal conditions any sane person would choose a random troop over creating your own troop.

After all no matter the type of Troop they will be of a certain race making the lord the lord of that race.

Since there is the fact that almost all existing races have of Divine being in the grander world to make life easier for themselves they will choose a troop from the random option.

If they choose to create their own race, they will have to reach at least divine rank before the end of the trials or before ten years if they wish to go the the grander world.

If they fail to do so they will be destroyed by the All Heaven System, and their life will be lost.

And if you choose a random troop then you can just enter the grander world after surviving in the lord continent for ten years.

After which you will have to choose a faction of the race that your troops are from, this doesn't seem like a bad thing and it isn't one as a faction can help a lord develop in the late stage.

So from this point of view, it seems more profitable to choose a random Troop than to create a Troop.

Even when knowing this Neo still chooses the option to create his own Troop, for no other reason than the fact that the maximum loyalty of a random troop under normal circumstances can be only 90%.

This is a fact that is unacceptable for Neo who is not a very deeply trusting person, after all his other secret of being a reincarnated person though didn't give him any cheat did give him experience.

Experience of betrayal, the experience of the darkness of living beings' nature, and the experience of what it's like to be under someone's control.

So he had been suppressing his feelings for Yulan as he knew he was weak, and if he stayed weak he didn't deserve anything.

"This is my opportunity... no matter the hardship.. I shall never stop.."

His voice was unusually soft but the determination and passion they held was the loudest.
