Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm-Chapter 524 - 523: Substitute Player

Chapter 524: Chapter 523: Substitute Player

The fact is, Pure Water is not Yu Yin, she can’t deal with Bai Hongtu’s cunning manipulation, and lost quickly.

Yu Yin found the way her second senior brother fought to be familiar.

The Jiuzhou Grand Tournament turned into an internal fight of the Grand View, the eldest and the second senior brothers standing opposite each other exchanging courteous words, while smirking.

“Eldest senior brother, please go easy on me.”

“What are you talking about, second junior brother, you should go easy on me.”

Bai Hongtu sprung a surprise attack, using a tenth of the force of a Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

With a sneaky grin on his face, he thought his scheme had succeeded. He had said he would use only a tenth of his strength, but he never mentioned that it would be a tenth of the Nascent Soul Stage strength.

How could Jiang Li stand a chance?

At the same time that Bai Hongtu made his move, Jiang Li did too, using the strength of the Mahayana Realm.

At their first encounter, Bai Hongtu sensed something was off.

“Damn it, didn’t we agree to hide our strength?” Barked Bai Hongtu.

“I haven’t even used all of my Mahayana Realm’s strength.” Jiang Li carelessly answered, subduing Bai Hongtu single-handedly and effortlessly ending the fight, dragging Bai Hongtu off like a dead dog.

What should have been an intense battle ended quickly as both participants used strength far beyond that given in the original text.

To the outsiders, it appeared that Jiang Li had simply subdued Bai Hongtu; they could not see that Bai Hongtu had used the power of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, nor that Jiang Li had used that of the Mahayana Realm.

Yu Yin was speechless, she recognized the way Jiang Li dragged Bai Hongtu off. It was too familiar.

It must be these two no-gooders who have also landed in this book world.

…

After some time, Yu Yin sat on the mountaintop, cultivating her spirit with her five Yuan pointing to the sky, her eyes closed.

“Uniting the body with the Tao, sensing the heavenly and human energies. This is the path to the Mahayana Realm designed by Pure Heart. I have comprehended it.”

Yu Yin stood up, triggering a Heavenly Tribulation.

In the clouds, a person was creating a downpour, releasing the Heavenly Tribulation bolt towards Yu Yin.

The Heavenly Tribulation transformed into, White Map.

In the plot designed by Saintess Pure Heart, the Heavenly Tribulation taking the form of White Map would strike the heroine Pure Water; Jiang He would step in and protect Pure Water from the Heavenly Tribulation, beating up White Map in the process.

Now, Pure Water was yet to cross the tribulation, but instead, Yu Yin took the initiative, and attracted the Heavenly Tribulation.

Yu Yin stepped in, using ninety percent emotions, and ten percent skill, to beat White Map, successfully passing the Heavenly Tribulation and entering the Mahayana Realm.

“Sister Pure Heart, it’s hard to describe what you’ve designed for the Mahayana Realm.” Yu Yin was both amused and resigned. “Right after stepping into the Mahayana Realm, I don’t feel the room for improvement anymore.”

She pondered if, in the setup designed by Saintess Pure Heart, Jiang He was the only one in the Mahayana Realm, hence there was no process established for practicing in the Mahayana Realm. Therefore, whoever reached the Mahayana Realm would have the same strength as Jiang He.

“Vice Sect Master, you’ve reached the Mahayana Realm?!” Pure Water looked at Yu Yin in awe.

Yu Yin touched Pure Water’s head, somewhat wistful-“It’s been a long haul, it’s time to put it to rest.”

“I challenge you, Jiang He!”

Again, Yu Yin showed her dominating aura as Empress of Tian Yuan.

Saintess Pure Heart, in the midst of brainstorming her next novel, looked on bewildered. “What happened?”

“Let’s have a fight. After that, we leave the book world.”

“Okay.” Saintess Pure Heart, despite not understanding the situation, agreed obediently.

In his hands, Jiang He held the formidable Sky Desolate Halberd. As soon as he drew his weapon, the skies and earth seemed to tremble.

Yu Yin’s ankles each held a jade jewel. She kicked out and the jade jewels, suddenly growing large, fell off.

“Go.”

The two jade jewels flew rapidly at Jiang He.

Saintess Pure Heart was indeed a formidable fighter, but her weapon was the Twelve-Rank Green Lotus. Now, as she was forced to wield the Sky Desolate Halberd, she was clumsy.

Waving his halberd, Jiang He tore a hole in space, summoning the force of the Gang Wind to trap the jade jewels.

Yu Yin manipulated the jade jewels with two fingers, they moved nimbly under her control, the Gang Wind wasn’t able to trap the jade jewels.

The more Yu Yin fought, the more valiant she became. Engaged in close combat, Jiang He soon fell into a disadvantage.

In truth, Yu Yin wasn’t an expert in close combat, but Saintess Pure Heart was even less proficient.

“The Saintess is going to lose.” Bai Hongtu sat on the stairs, looking up at the battle.

Saintess Pure Heart was not as good as Yu Yin, whether in terms of actual realm or combat talent, so it was normal for her to lose.

“Then we need to swap.” Jiang Li rose to his feet and communicated via spiritual telepathy to Pure Heart Saintess.

“Pure Heart, let’s swap bodies and I will fight for you.”

Saintess Pure Heart was surprised at first, but then she was overjoyed, and obediently swapped bodies to became the eldest senior brother.

When Jiang Li took over Jiang He’s body, Yu Yin quickly sensed the discrepancy.

“As I suspected, both you and Bai Hongtu are in the world of this book.”

Yu Yin wasn’t really challenging Saintess Pure Heart; her actual aim was a battle with Jiang Li.

Her wish was now granted.

“I wondered why you were picking on Pure Heart for no reason, you were waiting for me to step in.” Jiang Li had an epiphany.

“How did you figure out Bai Hongtu and I are also here? I believe we’ve been keeping quite a low profile.”

“… Maybe next time you can find another way to beat Bai Hongtu.”

“Okay.”

Both of them at the same level, Jiang Li didn’t have much of an advantage, nor did he want to use his full strength.

Their fists collided, sounding like muffled thunder, less grandeur than the majesty of heaven, but more efficient.

Their movements were swift as lightning; those below watched in awe, unable to keep up with Jiang Li and Yu Yin’s actions.

“Long time no see, Saintess.” Bai Hongtu said, snacking lazily on the steps.

There were numerous descriptions of delicacies in the original book. The male lead often fed the female lead with delicacies, effectively strengthening their relationship.

“You’re here too, Sect Master Bai?” Saintess Pure Heart was a little surprised. No wonder she thought both elder and second senior brothers looked familiar – it was because they were actually them.

“This book world is quite fun to play in, so I decided to stay for a few more days.”

“And what did you guys do?”

“We noticed that the heads of the power factions were often embezzling the factions’ funds for personal use. So, we suggested setting up a detailed account including all the money in and out to prevent this.”

“We heard that the women in this world often ridicule Pure Water, especially the ladies from noble families, who downplayed Pure Water due to her commoner status. So, Jiang Li and I taught them a lesson—how to respect others.”

“Pure Water is too naive, and thus we secretly trained her. Now she will not be caught in the dark. She even learned how to manipulate others.”

“There’s a male supporting role in the book who is totally smitten with Pure Water and is willing to give everything for her. He protects Pure Water all the time. We advised him to give up—being a simp doesn’t pay off.”

“Next comes the part where Pure Water meets her biological father and stepmother. They will demand Spirit Stones from her, telling her that her brother is weak-minded and cannot attend the Great Zhou Dynasty Family Academy. They will say they cannot afford to send her brother to school because they have been supporting her education generously. Now, her brother is getting married and needs money for the bride price. Pure Water, blackmailed by kinship, would scrape together all the Spirit Stones she can for the exorbitant bride price.”

“Considering this situation, we decided to let Pure Water’s brother convert to Buddhism.”

“Solving Pure Water’s brother’s marriage and work issues at one fell swoop. It’s a win-win.”

“…”

Saintess Pure Heart had to reconsider whether there were any problems with her book and the plot. Why did three of the four people who entered the book begin drastically changing the plot?
