Realm Lord - Chapter 172: It Begins

“You Scammer! Return me my 10,000-year-old Mystic Jade Staff!”“You lost it fair and square in the gamble, Grand Elder. I can’t help it if your so-called Profound Scrying Eyes couldn’t see through my cups.”“What cups!? Those were the Divine Temple Bells of the Mahayana Temple!”“And?”“Even the Immortal Monarch himself can’t see through them, you thief!”***“What do you mean you won’t reimburse me for the Flying Sword Insurance I took?”“The terms and conditions clearly state that there will be no reimbursement within the first year of taking out the policy.”“You never said that!”“And you never read the fine print in the contract, Patriarch.”“The fine print that was written with illusory ink!? You bastard!”***“How did my small loan of 1,000 Immortal Stones turn into a debt of 100,000 Immortal Stones? You loan shark!”“That’s just the power of compounding, my friend.”“You call that compounding? I took the loan last week, you scammer! And I’m not your friend, I’m the goddamn Emperor!”***“How are you not dead? I saw your corpse with my own eyes!”“My death was greatly exaggerated, Senior Sister.”“You didn’t even have a head!”“Like I said, exaggerated.”***In the vast world of cultivation, where honor and integrity reign supreme, one man dares to defy the heavens—not with sword or spell, but with deception and trickery.Once a lowly street urchin, Han Yu quickly realized that cultivation required three things: talent, resources, and powerful backers. He had none of those. What he did have, however, was a sharp tongue, quick hands, and a complete lack of shame.From gambling dens to immortal auctions, from conning sect elders to running an interdimensional insurance scam, Han Yu’s reputation spreads across the cultivation world like an unstoppable plague.No treasure is too sacred, no contract too ironclad, and no oath too unbreakable for him to twist to his advantage. Even the mighty Immortal Clans dare not underestimate him—after all, the last sect that tried ended up legally belonging to him.With a growing list of enemies, a debt larger than some celestial empires, and a skillset that consists entirely of loopholes, misdirection, and sheer audacity, Han Yu’s journey to the peak of immortality is anything but conventional.Will he be hunted down by every major power in the realm? Will he accidentally scam his way into becoming an Immortal Emperor? Or will he outwit even fate itself and make the heavens owe him a favor?One thing is certain—when Han Yu is involved, nothing is ever fair, but the house always wins.-------P.S: This book is set in the universe of Walker of the Words and is in the same time period.Tags: #Comedy#weak to strong#Scamming#Beast companions#Monster Master#World Exploration#Faceslapping#Overpowered Cheats#Pretending to be weak

You live in the United States?Imagine if blue mana rain fell and dragons descended from the sky, lifeless, straight into your city or at your doorstep?Tell me what's gonna be the outcome?Lemme guess; mana fuses into everything, including life forms and the non-living and plants will be like, “I will kill everything”, or even four-legged mammalian animals fused with mana begin to grow wings.It's gonna be a damn chaos with a bunch of weird stuff everywhere, I've been there and guess what? I saw a monkey with three asses.Hilarious right? But to me it was terrifying, like, what does a monkey need three damn ass for?But what if this all Mana situation was controlled? What would the results be? Evolution right.Yeah, humans are way too smart to let such an opportunity pass them by, but the same Homo sapiens were devious and selfish; they want all the good things to themselves.In this world, I am Jayden Logan, rejected by my father because I didn't get a great SAT score, but don't worry, I'm a genius. My SATs were low because of these devious humans, you can call them the weapon fashioned against me, but don't worry, I conquered.Eventually, I break through the tough bars of this world of beast taming and gain a beast with potential greater than anyone else's, and I even found true love.But my biggest rival was a scientific organisation, MAGEO and the man in charge? Guess who it was?The United States governor, body and soul.Swears, I was damn fascinated when I realised.They were sure planning something big with those dragons, I wasn't certain of it, but I knew it wasn't good.I don't really know how my story is gonna end, but one thing is certain, I'm gonna cultivate my beast and kick some ass.

Weary reader, it is an honor for you to choose this book in this heavy, dark library room.

Somewhat sadly, the book is sick.

Your fingers should be able to feel the raised growths on the surface of the book cover,

The words written in the old days are like parasites rooted in the pages of the book, hoping that someone can observe their wriggling,

To feel, to analyze, to touch the story of the disease.

If you insist on borrowing this book, be sure to check your physical condition regularly.
