Chapter 349 Do You Want to Be the Chosen One?

“Why haven’t you made your move yet?” William chuckled, slowly closing his book, finding reading uninteresting at this moment.

Lucien gazed at William, falling silent for a long time, before finally letting out a deep sigh, “I really can’t see anything special about you. If I have to point out something special…”

“It’s especially annoying!”

William didn’t have a particularly bad impression of Lucien, but as Alice’s mentor, he naturally had to be strict with those pursuing her.

He also didn’t find this young man particularly appealing.

What’s the use of unrequited love that gets no response? In the end, you’ll end up with nothing. Isn’t that a simple truth?

“My opinion of you is the same!” William didn’t ask Lucien why he wanted to kill him. He had figured out that if he killed Lucien, the energy entwined around Lucien would briefly “dissipate” and likely merge into another “chosen one.”

Once William killed the last of these chosen individuals, the entity would gather the soul energy of hundreds of chosen ones and be reborn.

Perhaps the entity thought that even if William saw through this, he wouldn’t easily kill.

Lucien’s visit was, in a way, a declaration of war.

The entity couldn’t seriously think Lucien could kill William.

Instead, Lucien was sent as a sacrifice.

Not killing him would allow the entity within Lucien to help him grow, signifying William’s defeat in this declaration of war.

Killing Lucien would seem like falling into a trap.

A no-win situation?

Just a childish trick.

William didn’t care about anyone’s growth.

If that thing he expelled could truly be reborn, he didn’t see it as a big deal.

Lucien, struggling with the decision to leave, finally couldn’t help but ask, “William, what exactly is your power level?”

William smiled, “Just a little bit higher than yours.”

“…” Lucien furrowed his brows, “You were a bit stronger than me before, but now…”

“I am still just a bit stronger than you,” William interrupted him.

The implication was clear: no matter what level of power you reach, I will always be just a little bit stronger than you.

Lucien’s face turned red with frustration. Is this something a normal person would say?

Previously just a bit stronger, and still just a bit stronger now?

Had all his recent efforts to enhance his abilities been in vain?

Feeling dejected, Lucien directly activated the Ninefold Stellar Sanctuary magic array, enveloping the entire bookstore. Standing at the Uranus position himself and placing William at the Saturn position, he appeared like a deity descending, emitting a faint golden glow and looking coldly at William.

“I want to see how you’ll deal with this!” Lucien truly couldn’t believe it. Did William really think his Ninefold Stellar Sanctuary was just for show?

Now more powerful than before, Lucien’s Ninefold Stellar Sanctuary magic array seemed even more formidable.

William simply smiled, flipping open his book…

Cough!

Lucien didn’t understand what had happened. He suddenly coughed up blood, the surrounding blue light abruptly vanishing. The Ninefold Stellar Sanctuary magic array under his feet crumbled and dispersed, disappearing in an instant.

William looked down at his book, speaking indifferently, “I’m in a good mood today. You should leave.”

Lucien, pale-faced with disbelief in his eyes, stared at William.

Was this what being a little stronger meant?

Just a little bit?

He didn’t even realize when William had made his move…

Was it really just flipping through a book that broke his magic array? This was all too absurd.

Covering his mouth and wiping the blood from his lips, Lucien asked through gritted teeth, “Who exactly are you?”

William, engrossed in his book, pondered a thought.

Since that thing he expelled from his body wants to try something new, then he’ll play along for a bit.

“How about it, do you want to become a real ‘lucky one’?” William couldn’t help but laugh when mentioning ‘lucky one’.

The Chosen One? They were merely people with exceptionally good luck.

But speaking of luck, William’s fortune could truly be called defying the heavens.

If the luck of a hundred extraordinarily fortunate people were concentrated into one person, would that make them somewhat special?

Lucien clearly didn’t understand William’s point, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Before William flipped the pages of his book, Lucien always thought of himself as a favorite child of destiny, even considering himself a so-called ‘Child of Heaven’.

But just now, that notion had been completely overturned.

Compared to William, a being of limitless power, he felt like an insignificant insect.

If William had wanted to end his life just now, it would probably have been as easy as the way he effortlessly broke his magic… just as simple as flipping a page of a book.

“Alright, you can go! In some time, let me see how powerful an opponent you can become.”

William had decided,if he was going to play this game, he would play it thoroughly.

That entity had dispersed its power, hadn’t it? 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝑒𝑎𝒹.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Simple!

He would eliminate the other hundred or so people, leaving only Lucien, to see what level he could eventually reach.

Lucien, not daring to ask more, cast a deep glance at William before turning and leaving the bookstore.

Alone in the bookstore, William finished reading “War and Peace” by eight o’clock in the evening.

His consciousness swept across New York and unexpectedly found a dozen people tainted with that entity’s power.

And among them, there were familiar faces.

At this moment, David was immersed in the surprise of suddenly acquiring mysterious powers.

A mysterious system voice had unexpectedly appeared in his mind, and he, a mere ordinary person, had become a novice Soulmancer overnight.

He finally understood why he had never been able to stand up against William.

“William, that bastard, must also be a Soulmancer!” David sneered coldly. “Now that I have the mysterious system, once I become stronger, I’ll see how I’ll play you to death!”

“And you, Lila, you wretch! Looking down on me!” After gaining the mysterious system, David became more arrogant.

The “mysterious system” had also assigned him a task, the first of which was to seduce Lila and conquer her.

Such a delightful task made him excited just thinking about it.

At this time, Lila had just finished school and was driving home. Soon after starting the car, she noticed a vehicle persistently following her.

As a daughter of a wealthy family, she had learned anti-tracking and some self-defense martial arts from a young age.

Realizing she was being followed, she immediately called her father. In less than fifteen minutes, a fleet of cars from the Carter family appeared on the roads near Lila.

David finally realized he had been discovered.

Even becoming a Soulmancer hadn’t improved his stalking skills.

However, he didn’t give up. The mysterious system told him that if he seduced Lila and had sexual relations with her, he would become a mid-level Soulmancer.

He directly called Lila.

“Lila, it’s me!” David, still following behind, said, “I have something to tell you.”

“What is it? Just say it.” Lila genuinely had no good feelings for David, finding him as annoying as gum stuck to her shoe.

In a moment of quick thinking, David said, “I’ll tell you a secret about William. Have dinner with me, and I’ll tell you.”

“I’m not interested…” Lila started to say but then paused, adding, “Alright, you have half an hour.”
