Chapter 496: The Birth of a New Protagonist

Wang Ao looked at the young woman who had come to dissolve their engagement with a grim expression. He had never imagined that he would end up like this.

"Thirty years on this side, thirty years on that side, do not mock a poor youth!" Wang Ao said softly.

The woman opposite him couldn't help but sneer. "Thirty years? Demons won't wait for you for thirty years."

With that, the woman left with her people.

Wang Ao couldn't help but fall into his chair, his expression looking very desolate.

"Yes, demons won't give me thirty years," he said helplessly. As the young master of the Wang Family, he was supposed to have a glorious life.

But everything changed after the demon calamity appeared. First, all the Spirit Summoners of the Wang Family were summoned to Baijing Prefecture to resist the demon calamity.

He had expected to hear news of a victorious return, but never imagined that it would be a catastrophic news.

All three million people in Baijing Prefecture were wiped out, not a single one escaped, not even the Ninth-Rank Spirit Summoners, let alone his family.

At the moment the catastrophic news returned, the Wang Family collapsed. After all, only he was left, what kind of noble family could that be with just one person?

Fortunately, all the noble families in the city were in a similar situation, basically only one or two people remained.

He hadn't gone because he was the only son of the Wang Family, thus escaping the disaster. In other noble families, only the eldest legitimate son was left at home to carry on the family lineage, or even the eldest legitimate grandson, who was even younger.

After the Wang Family fell into decline, his betrothed fiancee, who was originally engaged, also came to dissolve the engagement, reportedly planning to take refuge with the heir of a major noble family to avoid being killed if the demons attacked again.

"No, I must get up. The Wang Family is gone, but I am still here, and the spirits of the Wang Family's ancestors are still here."

Although he had become a Spirit Summoner, he was only at the First Rank, because his spirit potential was at the soldier level, and not even from his own family's ancestors.

In fact, if he weren't the only son, the position of Young Master might not have fallen to him.

"I remember the previous Family Head obtaining a cultivation technique and secret method, thus breaking through to the Eighth Rank and establishing the Wang Family."

"Go to the study and find the records."

The Wang Family was not a major noble family, and even though it had been around for not long, a lot of luck was involved in becoming a noble family.

Therefore, the inheritance was quite limited. There were no items to enhance spirit potential, as these things, whether cultivation techniques or heavenly treasures, were extremely precious.

If there were such things, other noble families would probably tear their faces to grab them.

Even the major noble families didn't have many such items to enhance spirit potential, and they controlled them very strictly, never letting them spread easily.

This was beneficial for their hierarchy and for ruling and squeezing the smaller noble families.

Don't think the major noble Families only squeezed ordinary people; their appetite was much larger than people imagined, they wanted the legs and the fat as well.

If they didn't need the various noble families to maintain stability and avoid public outrage, the major noble families would have long considered fattening the smaller Noble Families for slaughter, rather than squeezing them bit by bit.

Wang Ao stumbled into the study and quickly found the records.

"Sky Tower, Sky Order, once every ten years?"

"Wait, they must be planning to take refuge in the Sky Tower."

Suddenly, Wang Ao remembered his betrothed. To say where the best Place to take refuge was, it must be the Sky Tower.

But the prerequisite is to have the Sky Order, without the Sky Order, one can Only Stay in the Outer Area, and with the Sky Order, One Can Enter the Inner Chambers of the Sky Tower, thus living a better life.

"So, I also have a chance?" Wang Ao looked at the well-preserved Sky Order, this thing had no spiritual energy fluctuations, so ordinary people would only think it was a special prop, unless they knew about the Sky Tower, otherwise, they would never recognize it.

He only knew because of the books and records left by the ancestors of the Wang Family, otherwise, he would never know that this ordinary golden iron token was the legendary Sky Order.

"Only my strength is too weak, to travel from Beisheng Prefecture to Zhongyuan Prefecture is completely impossible." Wang Ao knew that if he were a Third-Rank Spirit Summoner, he would have the confidence to leave, but at First Rank, he had no chance of surviving the journey to Zhongyuan Prefecture.

It was a significant distance, spanning an entire prefecture. With only a little over a month left until the Sky Tower opened, Wang Ao had no such capability to make the journey.

Moreover, even if he managed to get there, what could he do? There would undoubtedly be many powerful Spirit Summoners preparing to take refuge in the Sky Tower. At that time, he, a First-Rank Spirit Summoner, would likely end up as a servant to one of them.

A wave of dejection washed over him. He couldn't do this, he couldn't do that; it was too much of a headache. He placed the book left by his ancestors back on the shelf, but in his absent-mindedness, it slipped through his fingers and fell to the ground.

The pages scattered immediately.

"Ah, being so distracted, how can anything be accomplished?" Wang Ao widened his eyes as he looked at the open book.

The sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the page. He noticed a strange shadow, as if something was hidden between the pages.

He quickly picked it up and examined it through the sunlight.

"Yuanling Heyifa?"

Wang Ao carefully read out the five characters.

Then, a surge of joy instantly replaced his dejection.

"A secret technique, it's actually a secret technique. My ancestor actually left a secret technique in his diary. This is simply unbelievable."

To say that the Wang Family didn't have any secret techniques wasn't entirely true, but these techniques were generally not very important, usually consisting of attack, defense, and movement techniques.

There was nothing like this, a technique that sounded so extraordinary, in their collection.

With the sunlight, Wang Ao quickly copied the content of the secret technique and then read it carefully.

"Being able to merge with a spirit and obtain all of its powers."

"More importantly, after merging, one can use one's own spiritual energy to nurture the spirit, allowing its potential to evolve."

"However, once merged, the spirit cannot be separated and will lose its self-awareness, becoming like a low-tier spirit."

"Whoa~ This is too powerful."

For Wang Ao, this was an opportunity.

As for the spirit, to be honest, it was just a soldier-level spirit, not very powerful. Losing it wouldn't be a big deal.

"This must be the secret technique my ancestor brought back from the Sky Tower."

Wang Ao knew that his ancestor's spirit definitely wasn't imperial-level potential. It was likely that he used this Yuanling Heyifa to gradually enhance it.

If his ancestor had an imperial-level spirit, how could he have been so impoverished? A spirit with such potential would definitely be claimed by the imperial court, or supported by a noble family. In that case, as long as the ancestor married into the family, resources would be no issue.

Therefore, being able to reach the Eighth Rank back then was not due to innate potential but through his own effort.

"Rising to prominence starts today." A glint of determination flashed in Wang Ao's eyes. He understood that as long as he seized this opportunity, within a month, he had a good chance of reaching the location of the Sky Tower and even taking refuge inside it.

As long as he survived the Demon calamity, he could rise step by step, perhaps even reshape the world.

What his ancestor could do, he, Wang Ao, could also do.

"My life, Wang Ao, is not inferior to anyone. If it weren't for the constraints of the spirit's potential, how could I have stagnated for years, still at the First Rank?"

A bottleneck is called a bottleneck because it's hard to break through. If it were easy, wouldn't everyone be able to break through their own ranks?

Those who can break through the bottleneck after their spirit's potential is exhausted are few and far between. Unless one has some extraordinary encounter or is a prodigy, an ordinary person will be stuck at their current level for life.

Before this, Wang Ao was indeed an ordinary person, but after this, he wasn't. Because his protagonist aura had arrived.

Even if he was previously mediocre and incapable, with the protagonist aura's boost, everything would move toward the predetermined goal. If he didn't move, someone would push him.

Just like the saying goes, "Thirty years on this side, thirty years on that side."

Since he had received the benefits, he had to take on the corresponding responsibilities. With the protagonist aura, he had to do what a protagonist should do.

The prerequisite was that he wasn't fed hormones by Qin Muye again, leading to a negative luck value of over a thousand. Otherwise, even if he grew, he would only be categorized as a hormone-boosted protagonist who reaches maturity in thirty days.
