[A: "Antithesis"]

Jean finally reached the Cyan Forest Town. He was dead tired and since he couldn't spend the little money he had on a horse, he could only travel by foot, he needed two entire days and 12 hours to reach the place, and nothing strange happened, except for something yesterday…

It was the ability he gained... If he thought that "Sigma" was a joke to the laws of life and death, this gave the middle finger to every law existing and not existing!

"Almighty: Ability: Can see any single possible future of yourself, so you can act accordingly, but it is limited to the future up to the midnight of the same day it is activated.

Can modify the future as you wish, by placing traps or attacking even before they could react, you can see any blind point of the opponent's defence and act accordingly, you can even revive yourself.

Any power that you know about will not harm you in any way, excluded pure Profound Energy and physical strength.

Can create blasts of force to send people fly away from your hands.

Can consume any being with just physical contact, it is not suggested doing so against strong beings that are fully awake and capable of reacting, you can take their powers and make them yours, same for the profound energy, but it will take more time the stronger the being is.

Effects: Your eyes develop 3 irises and pupils in total and you are able to produce a black substance that is filled with eyes to attack, defend, and support."

...What's this, A joke?

And now he has this ability…

"Antithesis: Ability: Can swap anything that has occurred between you and a target of your choice, from damage to boosting or healing, it works only on things that happened at you or the target, it doesn't work on swapping one's strength.

Effects: Nothing notable."

In short, if he is in a dying state, he just need a target and their conditions will swap! This was another cheat! Even if not like "Almighty".

Right now his cultivation is still at the 0th Elementary Profound Realm, in 1 month he can reach the 1st Elementary Profound Realm if he goes little by little. But he didn't want that, he wants to get stronger as fast as possible but without ruining his foundations.

And that needs a calm place, pills, and willpower.

Then he saw a inn and checked his profound coins, which were enough for 1 or 2 nights and food, he smiled bitterly and headed towards it, regretting of forgetting to steal the Profound Coins from the treasury of the Xiao Clan.

Just as he arrived at the door, he heard a scream similar to the slaughtering of a pig. He gazed at the source of the sound and found…

Xiao Kuangyun and Xiao Moshan sitting together with Xiao Chengzhi standing at the side…

Jean: ...Oh hell no.

He turned 180° and immediately left and when he was out, he ran away, sure that someone noticed him. He was right when Xiao Ba noticed his back and reported to Xiao Kuangyun.

Xiao Kuangyun: En? You're talking about the good for nothing that got kicked out of Xiao Clan? Very good, I almost forgot about the existence of this character, and even the heavens has now presented him to me... Xiao Ba, go and disfigure his face for me.

Xiao Moshan: The Sect Master had said that you shouldn't use the Sect's authority to oppress others outside.

Xiao Kuangyun: Hmph! That Xiao Clan's wastrel actually embarrassed me in public the other day, not parading his corpse down the Floating Cloud City is already merciful enough.

Xiao Ba, after you disfigure his face, cut his tongue out too. Wasn't he such a good speaker? I'll see how eloquent he is at speaking after that!

Xiao Moshan didn't speak anymore and Xiao Ba nodded silently, then he chased towards Jean's general direction.

At the other side, Jean reached a pharmacy on his right and entered in.

Jean: Shopkeeper, are there any Purple Lantern Flowers and Iron Sand Vines?

Shopkeeper: There are, how much do you want?

Jean: A quarter kilos of each!

Shopkeeper: 20 Yellow Profound Coins altogether.

(AN: 10'000 Yellow Profound Coins = 100 Cyan Profound Coins = 1 Purple Profound Coins, who cares when the mc will be rich as f.u.c.k…)

After getting the bag, he put it in the Sky Poison Pearl and hastily ran towards the Southern Exit. Xiao Ba found him and instead of attack, he trailed behind him without any emotion.

The exit quickly appeared before them, at south there was a vast vein of mountains, named the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range, Jean didn't want to know why it is called like that, and hopefully he won't know it in future…

He was running because Antithesis would work only if he was damaged and he could see his target, if he was attacked from a group, then it is useless.

These mountains were inhabited by a variety of profound beasts, making that place very dangerous.

Jean took out the medicine from his SKy Poison Pearl and produced a small pile of purple-black powder, it had the effect of being extremely irritant to one's eyes, no matter how strong one is. He didn't trust blindly his "Antithesis", so he kept a second plan.

He turned around and found Xiao Ba who wasn't even 10 feet away from him.

Xiao Ba: You're called Xiao Che, right? The good for nothing that was kicked out of Xiao Clan!

Jean: No, my name is Jean Dennell.

Xiao Ba: Hmph!

He didn't care about the name and took out a dagger from his pocket.

Xiao Ba: I've got orders from my young master to deliver you to meet your maker! In the next life, remember not to provoke those that you can't afford to offend!

After saying that, Xiao Ba's blade was swung at Jean's throat, who looked at him with a creepy smile when he realized that he was aiming at his neck.

But before the dagger could reach his neck, unexpectedly a red shadow came out and in a single instant, the shadow was behind Xiao Ba.

Jean narrowed his eyes and noticed that it was the same red haired girl that he saved before, and not only that, she was even holding the same dagger that was on Xiao Ba's hand. Then Jean's attention turned towards Xiao Ba, and saw him froze on the spot…

When wind blew at him, Jean was a bit frightened at what happened, Xiao Ba's body fell apart like a Lego building, leaving on the ground dismembered pieces of flesh and a puddle of blood.

Jean: ...Holy shit…

In a single instant, the girl killed the man, if it was Jean instead of Xiao Ba, then he might not even have the time to use "Antithesis", no… He could survive only if he used "Almighty"...

His thoughts were interrupted when the girl crouched down and hugged her body while letting fall the dagger on the ground, then she m.o.a.n.e.d in pain.

?: Uuuu…

Jean: ...Huh?

?: This hateful Absolute God Slaying Poison… How could I, the princess… Experience such a… Rebound… When only using this degree of power… Uuuu…

Jean carefully stepped near her, at the first abnormal thing that will happen, he will use Antithesis on her.

When he was behind her, he patted her shoulder and said.

Jean: Everything's alright there?

?: Obviously not!

She stood up and turned around, then she took a glance at Jean before frowning.

?: How unbelievable, the Sky Poison Pearl would actually choose a useless common person like you as its master! Don't tell me that this Heavenly Profound Treasure's spirituality had already become distorted?

Jean: Yeah yeah, whatever…

Even without using the "Almighty", he could see that in future he will have an incredibly big headache… Wait what? Did she say Heavenly Profound Treasure?
