Chapter 5: BASTARDS, I WILL KILL YOU!
--"What the fuck is this?" he asked himself in exasperation but inadvertently shouted it out.
Still, he didn't care.
His face had always been unblemished, and this perfect face characterized him as the Divine Son of the Tang Sect and one of the most desired men in the world.
But now...
Those two deep wounds totally stained his beautiful face.
And they almost went all the way across it!
--"This..." For a moment, he felt somewhat disconsolate.
He would be too ashamed to show himself like this before his family and his beloved wives.
How could he look them in the face?
How could he, the Divine Son, possibly have such scars?
That is a mockery and a stain on his reputation.
At that moment, memories of what could have caused these scars came to him.
The moment when Ren Xiao jumped into the Abyss, a large number of abilities of different intensities hit him hard and sent him slamming into the walls of the Abyss several times, bouncing off them.
'It was that moment...' He thought and frowned.
--"YOU USELESS BASTARDS! BASTARDS, I WILL KILL YOU!" shouted Tang Yin hysterically at that moment and pounded the water continuously.
--"Bastards, bastards, bastards!" Every hit he gave to the water was one more insult coming out of his mouth.
That's an insult to his reputation!
A grave insult towards the reputation of the Son of the Tang Sect Patriarch!
A blasphemy to his name!
His anger kept rising. The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. But he had to calm down this time, no time to get pointlessly angry because he didn't yet have the strength to retaliate.
That was precisely why he calmed down and started thinking.
It's not as if there was no hope.
Scars are not impossible to heal. It depends on what kind of scar it is, what it was made with, and how much one is willing to spend. Also, they can be healed with the Spiritual Bones.
'But to heal them that way, I need a Spirit Bone, which is hard to get, even in my world. Well, there was that way, too.' He quickly considered possibilities and ways to erase these scars.
Since they were deep scars and had just been made recently, he thought of several possibilities, but...
There was a problem.
'If the scars were made by the walls that had been bathed in the 19 Level Abyss Aura, then many of these methods would be useless...' Tang Yin thought with a frown.
'Shit, those wretched bastards...' His anger was about to blossom again at that moment, but he knew how to calm himself down.
True, this wouldn't stop him from becoming strong, but he was always a Divine Son, proud of his talent and beauty.
How could he show himself like that in front of people?
These two deep wounds, soon-to-be scars, really made him suffer.
Because they stain one of his sources of pride.
And, what is worse, there are not many ways to heal it!
Of the possibilities that occur to him, one sees it as more likely than the other. The goal is to find a certain Spiritual Beast, kill it, and obtain its Spiritual Bone.
The problem is that it can't be just any spiritual bone; it must be the spiritual bone of the sternum, the spine, or one of the bones of the face!
And this is a complicated Spiritual Beast to find. Even in his world, it is considered a rarity. Because all the Spiritual Bones that this Beast can drop have the ability to regenerate.
It is considered a hard-to-find Divine Beast, but this is the most likely option he can think of right now. Unless he wanted to wait until he got to his world, there, he had several ways, but...
The problem is that he does not want to show up like this in front of his wives.
He was deeply frustrated, but then he thought about the system. This thing had told him that it could significantly reduce the time it would take to restore his Bone Spirit Body so that he could cultivate again.
Maybe he knew? he thought and quickly, with some excitement, asked.
--"Hey, system, do you know of any way to make these wounds or scars disappear from my face?" He asked excitedly.
But the system seemed to want to make him suffer.
Also, he didn't answer even 10 seconds later.
Nor 30 seconds.
A whole minute, and already Tang Yin was getting impatient.
--"Hey..." Just as he was about to speak again, the system decided to respond.
[There are ways, but in my current version, it's not possible to do it. You need to upgrade me]
Seeing a chance to recover, Tang Yin lifted his spirits and stared at the system.
--"How do I upgrade you? What do I need to do or gather?" he asked impatiently. This was a matter of great importance to him.
Even if there were ways to heal this thing, there would still be that mark on his face. He must find a way to heal it completely.
The system again took time to respond, making Tang Yin even more impatient.
[You can't upgrade me in your current state. You must increase your cultivation level and then complete an Upgrade mission].
Tang Yin frowned as he read his reply.
He knew he couldn't get carried away by his bad feelings right now and had to think things through clearly, so he took a deep breath and decided to take a bath first.
During this time, he noticed several other scars on his body that had been made in the last year. But these scars could be erased more easily because they didn't have the aura of that place.
Although, these scars didn't matter to him at all.
If they didn't tarnish his beauty and reputation as a Divine Son, then he wouldn't care. But the ones on his face...
To Tang Yin, it was an insult to have them.
For he was always a person who, to the very end, put his pride as a Divine Son before anything else.
There was only one thing for which he was willing to put that pride aside. And that was his women, with whom he was deeply in love.
But now, his pride had been sullied.
At least in his eyes, it was so. Well, no one would like to see a face hurt like that, so it is very likely that in the eyes of others, this is already considered a big stain that he must carry with him for who knows how long.
He, the dear and beloved by the heavens, born with a Divine Soul unique in the universe, would he have a stain like that in his history?
'Shit... Those bastards.' Without realizing it, Ren Xiao's hatred towards his enemies was being transferred to him through these scars.
Still, he wouldn't care even if he knew.
He promised Ren Xiao that he would destroy his enemies and avenge him and his family. But now he seems to have an even more important reason than that, to kill them.
Thinking like that, the cold and cruel smile shone again on Tang Yin's face.
That same smile that bloomed on his face just a while ago appeared again. But this time, under the moonlight and with some blood running down his face, it looked even more terrifying.
--"You bastards, you dare to damage my reputation? Hehehehe..." Tang Yin smiled sinisterly and raised his eyes slightly to look over the nearby trees; the moonlight fully illuminated him.
--"Just wait, you bastards. Your days are numbered." He said and took several deep breaths.
In his mind, he had started to think about how to cover up this flaw on his face. Then he began to bathe and wash his clothes, which were stained and dirty. It did not do his wounds any good to have clothes that might be infected.
Sometime later...
Tang Yin was sitting on a massive stone beside the lake while his clothes were beside him.
He had forgotten something when he washed them.
Firstly, there was no sun, and secondly, he had no Spiritual Energy. That meant he couldn't dry it, so right now, he was naked, covered with some big leaves he found.
--"Shit, why the hell didn't you remember me, system?" Tang Yin asked angrily.
[You didn't say a word before you jumped into the water; I thought you already knew and had some alternative.] Replied the system
Tang Yin then looked at the message for a while, then looked away from it, and could only give a sigh.
'Well, it was an oversight.' He thought.
--"Is there any way to dry it faster? You seem to have treasures over there, why don't you give me one that will do?"
[I can only bestow treasures through Missions.]
--"Didn't you give me one a while ago?"
[It was a special situation. Besides, that treasure was given to you by the Administrator.]
--"Administrator?" At this point in the conversation, Tang Yin was surprised and asked the question.
[It is the independent Soul attached to your body, Host. When you can hear the voice in your head, it means the Administrator is awake. If you can't hear it and only see this message, it's system responses].
Tang Yin was then surprised but nodded a little.
The system's mechanism seemed quite complex to him, but he didn't care right now.
There was something else.
--"I thought I saw a while ago that the System called itself 'System of All Things,' but before that, it had introduced itself as Domination System; what's your real name then? Did the Administrator give this name?" Tang Yin asked.
This had been bothering him for a while now.
