Chapter 726 Transcendent Item — Reverse Lucky Coin
"The farce should end now."
At this moment, the look in my eyes towards Yang Yunhan seemed to have lost that past affection.
In the past, even if I felt only dislike towards this brother, it still stemmed from a kind of "caring" due to my former identity towards him.
But a stranger would absolutely not feel such emotions towards him for this reason.
Just like during my initial time at the academy, I would look for all sorts of fun in the academy, but I restrained myself from actively seeking trouble with those who might be my roommates for many years.
I would only feel troubled, disgusted, or hateful towards people or things I cared about, but it was difficult to express joy…
Although… many developments had exceeded my expectations, and in less than a year, I barely lived with them anymore, that place still reserved a spot for me.
But now… with the disappearance of that last bit of affection for Yang Yunhan in my heart, I completely stopped caring about him.
He was merely an amusement in my eyes now.
He didn't even have any blood relation to me, and there was no longer any familial bond from raising him.
I just wanted to take this guy to the Witch Academy.
Didn't he say that turning into a girl after going to the Witch Academy was disgusting?
Then let him watch himself transform into a girl with his own eyes!
Didn't he say that as long as I was alive, he would never have a chance to rise?
Then let him suffer in the Witch Academy, enduring the sadness of never having a chance to rise.
Sometimes, a person who hasn't reached the corresponding level isn't even qualified to feel deeper levels of fear and despair.
Only when he steps into the Witch Academy, comes into contact with the Transcendent, and embarks on the Transcendent path will he—no, she—be qualified to understand the gap between me and her.
She can strive to catch up.
After all, I am only one year ahead of her.
Doesn't she like skipping grades?
Then let her skip another one.
Let's see if he is a true genius or merely a clown who only knows how to jump around.
When I made this decision, I felt a surge of agitation in the Destiny around me, as if the gradually subsiding Destiny had come alive again because of me.
As someone who had long cut the Earth Vein Chains, this driving force of Destiny was not as absolute for me as it once was.
But before I consciously realized the push of Destiny, my actions and behaviors were still influenced by Destiny.
Only when I subjectively realized that I was being influenced by Destiny could I actively break free from this influence.
However, I had an item in my body that could influence Destiny—the Destiny Coin formed from the phantom of the Seed of Destiny.
It achieved a metamorphosis after I cut ties with that former family and put many things down, but it still seemed to be lacking something.
I made a grasping motion with my hand in front of my chest.
Amidst the flashing light of Destiny, a coin materialized out of thin air in my hand.
For those who couldn't see Destiny, this was a coin appearing from nowhere.
Looking at this coin, I recalled the words of Trixie, the Destiny Alchemy Witch, about making a fated choice.
But now, there seemed to be no multiple-choice question for me to answer.
I had just made the decision to take Yang Yunhan to the Witch Academy.
And as I was thinking this, I suddenly felt an abnormal fluctuation in the Destiny.
I followed the flow of Destiny and finally looked at the group of Wizards behind me.
"What trick did you play now?"
I looked at these Wizards helplessly.
The weak always do insignificant things to hinder an outcome that is destined to happen.
"Big Sis Xiao Han! Leave these guys to us!"
At this moment, the Witches on the side were also unwilling to simply stand by and watch.
After all, the battle that instantly resolved dozens of Wizards in a short time just now had their blood boiling!
In their view, perhaps the recent Joint Exam Hunt didn't clearly show how incredible Big Sis Xiao Han was due to the restriction of power, but now, the unrestricted Big Sis Xiao Han, who crushed dozens of Wizards with the simplest Spells and the most extreme consciousness, was the most terrifying!
"Yes, yes! Just leave it to us."
"The fight with them just now was so frustrating! I was planning my revenge!"
"Oh not necessary for now. Just watching is enough. I can handle things here. If you don't want to watch this boring development, you can go back first. You've all worked hard on this trip."
I said.
Although many of these Witch students showed disappointment, not a single one wanted to leave right now.
What boring development?
This was a source of entertainment for them!
However, the words I just spoke were not from my own will.
After Destiny was interfered with, I did not resist this Destiny push targeted at me.
I allowed this Destiny to influence me.
For no other reason than I wanted to perceive and experience, with a clear mind, how Destiny's influence and drive so naturally integrated into everyone's instincts.
Just now, I let Destiny prompt me to say those words.
First, not allowing outsiders to interfere, rejecting their help, and then persuading them to go back.
Then, it was to make me appear arrogant and overconfident, and say that I could solve the problem myself…
Sometimes, the words spoken are very natural, but under the push of Destiny, there seems to be a pattern that can be observed.
"And what about you all? Are you still planning a final resistance?"
My gaze shifted to the Wizards.
The abnormality in Destiny was related to the Destiny Sorcery Tool in their hands.
I began to be curious about what prompted them to make this bold attempt.
"Yang Yuehan… we admit that we have failed this time. We truly cannot defeat you. Even… we cannot defeat you even with Destiny augmentation… However, since you saw through the power of Destiny at a glance, then you should know! This matter will not end so easily!"
"Oh, continue."
I replied calmly.
"You!"
The people from the Wizard Academy were enraged by my flat tone!
The opponent simply didn't care about them!
"You shouldn't think you've won already! You simply don't understand how terrifying the driving force of Destiny is, but we Wizards can leverage the rules of Destiny for our own use. Yes! You can snatch Yang Yunhan from us, but so what! This is all just a gamble of Destiny!"
"As a member of this world, without achieving the Transcendent level, you can never escape the fate of being manipulated by Destiny!"
"Oh, you Wizards know quite a lot, don't you? After all that talking, you are just showing off that you have the means to manipulate Destiny?"
I said, playing with the Destiny Coin in my hand.
I could feel Destiny pushing me towards a predetermined outcome.
It looked like I was talking to these people from the Wizard Academy, but only I knew that I was gambling with Destiny.
Destiny was trying to push a predetermined ending toward an uncertain one—that is, turning the conclusion that I would definitely take Yang Yunhan to the Witch Academy into a vague direction.
But I wasn't that foolish; I wouldn't just accept this outcome.
The Wizards continued to speak, and I responded, but I didn't care about what I was saying.
After all, the words spoken were merely superficial.
The deep-seated gamble was the reality at the Destiny level.
Destiny was pushing me toward a "Destiny Gamble," using my characteristic of not "breaking a promise" to guide me toward an outcome shaped by luck.
I naturally wouldn't foolishly agree.
So, this gamble had a stake: the coin for the gamble was my Destiny Coin.
The method of the gamble was to guess heads or tails, making a brand new choice through the method of fate.
And the stakes… were that the Destiny of this Destiny Node Event would transform into the Ritual for the refinement of this unformed Destiny Coin Alchemical Item.
I have to admit… I was tempted.
This could both complete the final refinement Ritual of the Destiny Coin Alchemical Item and allow me to experience the pleasure of gambling with Destiny.
Gambling with Destiny… a year ago, I wouldn't have dared to imagine it.
But now… everything seemed as trivial as a game.
"Alright then I can spend some extra time accompanying you all in a game. How about… guessing the coin flip?"
I said to the people from the Wizard Academy, playing with the coin in my hand.
This group of people, relying on the Destiny Sorcery Tool they held, still didn't realize that they had already become puppets of Destiny.
They never had the qualification to converse with me as equals.
Yet, I had been engaging in conversation with them for so long that I had even built up their confidence.
"Let me introduce this. This coin… is called the Destiny Coin. It's an unformed Destiny Alchemical Item. Since you all believe so much that Destiny can change fate, then I don't mind giving you an opportunity through the method of Destiny."
When I finished speaking, the faces of the people from the Wizard Academy changed!
Destiny Alchemical Item!
Their biggest reliance was the Destiny Sorcery Tool in their hand, but none of them expected the opponent to also have this item!
Although it seemed to be unformed…
"Choose, the patterned side or the silhouette side with my portrait?"
I held the coin between two fingers and looked at them.
Even my tone carried a sense of condescension.
But this was not wrong; this was a handout.
The patterned side was facing them, and the other side was the silhouette of my image.
It was clear that this simplified portrait had some of my facial features.
"We choose the patterned side!"
The Wizard Academy side quickly made their choice.
"Then I can only choose the silhouette side with my portrait."
A brief conversation instantly decided a person's fate.
Yang Yunhan, who was sprawled on the ground, saw a flicker of hope in his vacant eyes upon hearing this gamble.
He struggled to get up.
As an ordinary person who had experienced so much in a short time, he was extremely exhausted, but faced with this gamble that would decide his fate, he had no choice but to force himself to witness it.
"Patterned side… patterned side! It must be the patterned side! I don't want to go to the Witch Academy!"
Yang Yunhan was praying with his words, but he didn't notice that the moment he instinctively made a choice instead of resisting fate, he was destined to become an ordinary person.
Even if a person is destined to have no power to resist, it doesn't prevent them from having the will to resist.
His inner determination had been shattered time and time again.
Or perhaps… the family environment from childhood had never cultivated the seed of resistance to fate in him.
His hysteria and powerless rebellion were entirely used to conceal the cowardice of his failure.
"Don't worry, it will be over soon."
I gazed at the coin.
Since everyone had made their choice, then…
Ding—!
A crisp sound of a fingernail hitting the coin rang out, and the coin was flipped rapidly into the air.
Although it was only an instant, many people's gazes followed the coin's arc, feeling as if years had passed.
This cognition of the concept of time gave me a brand new understanding of Time Sense, but it hadn't yet reached the point of a qualitative change.
And the moment the coin was flipped, the Destiny here surged along with the coin!
The Wizard's golden threads and the vast Destiny, accompanied by the coin's rhythm, poured into the coin!
It was as if this flip, representing a fated choice, was the final refinement Ritual for this Alchemical Item.
Finally, I reached out and caught the coin.
This feeling of holding Destiny… made me eager to know the result.
Although I hadn't revealed it, I had roughly foreseen the outcome.
I reversed my right hand, palm up, and the patterned side was presented before me.
"Pattern! It's the patterned side! Hahaha! It's the patterned side!"
"What? Is it the patterned side! Is it really the patterned side!"
"We won?!"
This result instantly made the people from the Wizard Academy excited.
Even Yang Yunhan, who was slumped on the ground, stood up excitedly, even wanting to laugh uproariously to express his inner joy.
And I looked at the patterned coin in my hand.
The last bit of Destiny continuously poured into the coin.
It was as if it was waiting for the final moment.
As long as I admitted the outcome of failure, the refinement Ritual for this Lucky Coin, representing Destiny, would be completely finished!
"Hehe…"
I chuckled lightly.
This outcome was truly as expected.
"You! What are you doing!"
Seeing the smile on my face, Yang Yunhan's heart skipped a beat next to me.
Especially when I turned my head to look at him.
At this moment, my voice slowly rang out, as if recalling certain things from the past, with a hint of emotion and determination in my tone.
"I learned the concept of Destiny after losing the first confrontation match upon enrollment. But after that, I have never lost. My foolish brother… today, I'll teach you one last lesson."
I flipped the coin in my palm.
The side with my silhouette was revealed to everyone.
And in that final instant, the refinement Ritual that was about to be completed suddenly underwent an anomaly!
Destiny instantly boiled on another level, as if furious at my broken promise!
But… my promise is never given lightly.
This was nothing more than Destiny's wishful thinking from beginning to end.
Facing an existence that I was destined to resist… Hehe, I am a Lesser Witch.
How could you trust a Witch's words?
I didn't write it into the Witch's Contract.
"I never believed that Destiny represents a person's fate. If this is fate… then I am the one who defies it!"
As I finished speaking these words, the Destiny Coin, which was on the verge of its final collapse, also underwent another anomaly.
The Alchemical Item, the "Lucky Coin," which was originally tainted by Destiny, seemed to pierce the final barrier in this moment and was successfully completed!
However, it achieved not the refinement Ritual of an Alchemical Item, but the birth Ritual of a Transcendent Item.
A bizarre, blood-red Destiny power, completely different from the golden Destiny but originating from the same source as Destiny, erupted from this coin, making it look exceedingly strange.
And on the side imprinted with my silhouette, the expression outlined on my simplified image also carried a mesmerizing, demonic smile, as if mocking the incompetence of Destiny and fate.
