4/5
Looking at the semi-transparent floating golden screen in front of him, Wu Xiaotian is looking at the most suitable thing that he can use in order for him to prevent anything else from leaking here while also giving the chance to take revenge to his beloved mother, who’s currently looking at him with pride and pure love in her eyes.
{I know you’re hesitating for me my baby, you can do whatever you want, mama is proud of you dear~~~} knowing that her beloved son is trying to give this opportunity for her, Su Meiyao sent a telepathic message to him, along with looking at him with a doting motherly smile on her face.
In fact, Wu Xiaotian can just pull her along them and allow her to take the life of the man that made her suffer for almost half of her life, yet she’s not the type to do that kind of thing, her pride keeps her from doing so, what she wants is taking the man down completely on her own, which she’s clearly incapable of right now.
{Don’t worry mom, I know how to deal with it} Wu Xiaotian replies with an assuring smile on his face, prompting his mother to wonder what is it that he’s going to do and how he’s going to do it that gives him so much confidence.
Returning his attention to the floating golden screen again, Wu Xiaotian reads the description of the thing he’s going to use, deciding to use it on everyone watching the spectacle as well, except for the people he knows.
[Severing Ties: Useable, consumes 10,000 (times the number of realm difference between the user and the target) Universal Coins to erase all the memories regarding the user in the target’s mind. Cooldown: 30 days]
‘Is there a way I can use this multiple times? Just for today’ thinking to himself, Wu Xiaotian said in his mind hoping for a positive reply from someone, the display on the floating golden screen changing as he does so.
[…]
[Due to special circumstances, the user is granted a special pass that allows the user to use the system related skill, Severing Ties, even before the cooldown period, however, the user must use five times the normal amount of Universal Coins in order to use it during cooldown]
‘More than enough, thank you’ Wu Xiaotian said as if talking to someone else despite the repeated claim of the system being an autonomous program made to guide him and not anything else, the words not receiving a reply causing him to smile wryly to himself.
“Bear this in your feeble mind, from the moment you decided to abandon my dearest mother to herself on that mountain house, I am no longer one of your murky blood…” Wu Xiaotian said as he looks down on the stern-looking man on the ground, his eyes not even bearing a single bit of pity or any sort of positive emotion for the man.
“From this day on, I shall carry the surname of the only parent I have, the surname of the great woman who raised me singlehandedly from the day I was born” he declared as he looks at the semi-transparent floating golden screen displaying a different message now.
[Confirmed thirty-one targets for Severing Ties, total amount of Universal Coins required is 1,510,000. Confirm to use? Y/N]
“From now on, I will bear the name Su Xiaotian, in honor of the name my dear mother gave to me, in honor of her blood” he said before moving his hand towards the floating golden screen.
Clicking the yes button, the peculiar force looming in the air of the coliseum rushes to the people watching, as well as the two Ascension Realm experts currently pinned on the ground, the weird feeling from this force causing them to lose focus and fall unconscious, leaving only Wu Xiaotian’s friends, the elders from the Heavenly Secret Tower, as well as the people together with his mother standing upright and conscious, some of them even almost falling on their knees from the relief of such emotional ups and downs coming into an end.
“Bring them out of the city, make sure all of you leave before they wake up, particularly when it comes to this two” pointing at the sleeping bodies beneath them, Hua Jingxian calls on his most trusted men and ordered them, said men emerging from the shadow wearing demon masks to obscure their face, all of them respectfully bowing before they go to carry out their leader’s order.
“What did you do to them?” looking at the immortal-like young man with confusion in his eyes, Hua Jingxian asked while wondering why the young man didn’t finish the guy off, however, being the free-spirited man he is, he decided not to meddle too much and just ask what he did to them.
“I removed everything related to me in their mind, this event will not blow up on public, especially since this moment is erased not only in their brain but also in their soul” he explains openly, surprising the middle-aged man, who immediately speaks about follow up questions to him.
Hearing multiple things such as, how does it works, how many can it affect simultaneously, how strong can the effects be along all sorts of questions, Wu Xiaotian decided to escape by telling the middle-aged man that they shall discuss it again later, causing him to sigh in pity as he wants to know more about such wondrous technique, not even being wary of the young man one bit despite knowing that he is capable of such terrifying feat.
Moving to greet the elders of the Heavenly Secret Tower, the immortal-like young man takes this chance to introduce the three approaching goddess-like beauties to the elders, who waved their hands as they are already well aware of the identity of the three.
“We know them really well, they are top tier geniuses of their respective generation after all” Hua Xuantian explained while the three mature beauties, now standing beside Wu Xiaotian moves to bow towards them, the elders refusing by shaking their heads signaling them to stop.
“We’re part of the same family now, there’s no need for such intricate show of respect” Hua Xingtian added before looking at the immortal-like young man again, the surprise on his face apparent as he watches him make them believe that he was truly controlled, making use of everything in the field to tilt the battle to his favor, achieving a feat that is otherwise impossible, hurting an Ascension Realm expert despite his cultivation being that of a meager Core Formation Realm.
“Brat, that was some impressive moves you’ve shown us, it makes our old bones desire to have some fights again” Hua Yingtian said with a smile on his face, the youngest among them catching him off-guard as a fist land squarely on his cheeks.
“Then third brother, let’s start now!!!” Hua Lingtian declared after nodding towards Wu Xiaotian, dragging the third eldest to the void to fight.
After talking for a bit, the people from the Heavenly Secret Tower leaves to give him space with his loved ones, leaving behind even Hua Xian’er to go with them.
“I’m glad you’re safe” unable to hold back anymore, Su Meiyao moves to hug her beloved son tightly, clinging on him like some sort of koala on a tree, her soft motherly body shaking as if she just experienced the most terrifying thing in her entire life.
