C1 Heaven-defying Summoning System

Tianyuan Continent , Beiwu Empire , Jiangxia City

A young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old sat in the courtyard looking dejected and deep in thought.

His name was Lin Xiao.

"I can't believe it! Have I truly transmigrated?"

It wasn't long before Lin Xiao looked up and curled his lips, glancing around. Much of what he saw was unfamiliar to him.

He was only pretending to be cool, so it really came as a surprise when he got hit by a bolt of lightning.

And what made it more interesting was when he actually transmigrated, his soul took over a fool's body, of all people!

It was just too much for him to put up within a short time!

However, he had lived a wretched life, and his background was tragic. He was initially a City Lord's son and should have enjoyed a life of luxury. Unfortunately, a traitor double-crossed him, and he ended up being a fool.

"Never mind. It's no longer important now that I've taken control of your body. It's okay, because I'll exact my revenge!"

Lin Xiao clenched his fist tightly, and his eyes flashed with outrage.

"Ding! Activating the Heaven-defying Summoning System!"

"Ding! Detecting the Heaven-defying Summoning System..."

"Ding! Binding process underway. System binding successful!"

At that instant, three successive beeps sounded in his ears.

'Heaven-defying Summoning System?

This sounds kind of amazing!' he thought with enthusiasm.

"I wonder what it can summon. I just wish it could invoke the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, as well as the Chinese Deity, Er Lang Shen!"

Lin Xiao muttered under his breath and pursed his lips warily.

"The Heavenly Dao conceived the Heaven-defying Summoning System. Its function is largely focused on assisting the host to dominate the world to become a supreme being. This system can invoke any existence between heaven and earth. However, given the host's current weakness, it may not be used against the specific summoning."

Just when Lin Xiao was deep in thought and confused, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind, answering his question.

"What the hell was that? It nearly scared me to death!"

Lin Xiao couldn't contain his shock after hearing the voice in his mind.

"Did it come from the legendary system?" he guessed aloud.

He felt fortunate to hear it!

With this Heaven-defying Summoning System, he could now do anything he wanted.

Lin Xiao gave off a delighted expression when he thought about it. He instantly directed in his mind, "System, summon a hundred beings for me first!"

"Sorry, the host's energy levels are insufficient. Just one mortal can be summoned now!"

The system's flat tone and bleak response mitigated Lin Xiao's excitement.

Lin Xiao frowned and breathed in unsatisfying, shallow breaths. "Okay, let's start with one first."

"Congratulations! You've successfully summoned Da Ji!"

He couldn't believe he invoked Da Ji.

While Da Ji's strength was not necessarily strong, her appearance had to be striking!

"Huh? Where is Da Ji right now?"

Lin Xiao waited patiently for her to show up, but Da Ji never came. Disappointed, he felt a bit upset.

Could he have been deceived?

"System, what's going on? What's the matter with you? Don't tell me Da Ji was stranded on the road due to heavy traffic because I won't believe it!"

Lin Xiao demanded angrily.

"The character summoned from within the system will soon appear around the host. However, it's the host's job to track her down within a day to earn her loyalty!"

'Damn it!' Lin Xiao cursed inwardly, not expecting to stumble upon such a snag.

He pondered about what would transpire if he didn't find Da Ji within the time frame. 'Was Da Ji going to wind up with someone else?'

Lin Xiao cursed the system covertly as he broke out of the City Lord's Mansion in distress.

According to the system, Da Ji was supposed to be in Jiangxia City. He had to get to her as fast as he could.

As soon as he arrived in Jiangxia City, he wandered far inside, but his efforts only ended in vain because he failed to locate Da Ji's whereabouts. Moreover, the people there seemed to despise him, whom they called the Young City Lord. They considered him to be despicable, and no one reacted with a kind attitude toward him.

Not surprisingly, even his father, the infamous City Lord, didn't show any affection for his stupid son. Instead, he thought highly of his talented godson, Lu Yu. Besides, how could a fool like Lin Xiao be respected by others?

These came about because of Lu Yu's doing!

If it wasn't for Lu Yu's efforts to turn him into a fool in order to take over the position of City Lord, he wouldn't have ended in his current situation.

Now that Lin Xiao had acquired the Heaven-defying Summoning System, he was determined to teach Lu Yu a lesson he wouldn't forget!

With this thought in mind, Lin Xiao came across a back street. Over a hundred people crowded the narrow path as he walked through it, and he noticed that they were all pointing toward the alleyway's entrance.

"Oh, my goodness! Can you believe what you're seeing? She is no doubt the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in the world."

"If I can only buy her and bring her home with me, then I'm willing to spend every penny, even if it means I'll go bankrupt!"

"Come on! Don't get your hopes up. Such beauty should be worth a great deal of money!"

"That may not be the case. Since she's voluntarily selling herself, she must be going through some unavoidable hardships right now. We should stick around and wait. Who knows, perhaps we can get her!"

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up as he listened to the discussions of those nearby him.

'These people kept gushing on how beautiful this woman is,' he deliberated.

Lin Xiao kept wondering whether she was Da Ji, so he went closer to get a clear view.

"Excuse me! Let me through! Please, make way!"

Lin Xiao took that into consideration, and he quickly wedged himself into the crowd. It took a great deal of effort before he finally found himself in front of the mob.

He saw a woman on her knees in front of everybody. Her clothes were in tatters, but her gracious figure was still very discernible. Seeing her in that state made some men feel sexually excited.

Her skin was exceptionally smooth, even-toned, and lustrous, which looked flawless under the blistering sun. She had a captivating aura that could arrest everyone's attention, and her facial expressions revealed an intense emotion.

Lin Xiao's mouth opened wide as a bit of drool crusted one corner of his mouth.

This woman was an absolute stunner!

"You can all get lost because I'm buying this woman!"

Suddenly, a group of people rushed forward.

When the citizens of Jiangxia City saw the leader, they all showed consternation in their eyes.

They couldn't afford to offend this certain individual.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiao looked up at him, cocking an eyebrow. He was Young Master Su Aotian, the eldest son of the Su family, and one of Lu Yu's most trusted lackeys!

Su Aotian was the last man he expected to get involved and join in the fun.

It was apparent that Su Aotian was unaware of Lin Xiao's presence in the crowd. He approached the woman and asked anxiously, "Miss, how much would you like? I'm willing to pay any amount of money to have you come home with me."

"My price differs according to the situation. If I face someone I think I'm destined to meet, I won't ask for a single dime. Otherwise, I wish to receive a hundred gold coins!"

The woman looked at him as she spoke. Her beautiful eyes were full of charm, and her voice sounded very sweet.

"One hundred gold coins? Have you lost your mind? It's almost an astronomical figure!"

"Do you think so? No wonder even Young Master Su Aotian is being hesitant."

"Didn't she say that if she meets a fated person, she won't ask for a single cent?"

"She won't complicate matters for Master Su on purpose, would she?"

When the onlookers heard the woman's remark, they were all filled with eagerness.

A hundred pieces of gold coins were already considered a huge quantity. During this period, the metal coins with the lowest to highest value accordingly were made of copper, followed by silver, and then gold.

One hundred copper coins were the equivalent of a silver coin, and one hundred silver coins was worth one gold coin.

In other words, one hundred pieces of gold coins accounted for one million pieces of copper coins.

'A copper coin in this place costs about one coin on Earth, so does it mean this woman was worth one million?' Lin Xiao mused.

Lin Xiao shook his head and clicked his tongue in disapproval. The price was sky-high. Even if she was an first-tier female celebrity, she couldn't possibly be worth that much!

Meanwhile, Su Aotian's expression expression was taut and derisive.

Although he could readily shell out a hundred gold coins, his father would cripple him if he found out that he spent a huge amount to buy a female slave.

However, this woman was truly attractive, and he couldn't handle leaving her.
