Investment Return System, Start by taking Demon Empress as a Disciple

Chapter 2: Suppressing casually, the first succubus?

Upon receiving the system's alert, Chen Daoxuan immediately appeared at the scene without a moment's hesitation. And just as he arrived, he saw Leng Yanran, seemingly ready to embrace her own death.

This sight frightened him tremendously, prompting him to swiftly intervene, preventing her from making such a grave mistake. After all, it had taken him quite some time to finally encounter a talented individual who met the disciple requirements. If he let her slip away now, who knew how long he'd have to wait for the next opportunity!

As for the peculiar atmosphere on the battlefield, Chen Daoxuan paid no attention to it. As long as he remained within the confines of the divine hall, he was akin to the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao itself, with no need for undue concerns!

After observing Leng Yanran for a moment, Chen Daoxuan's eyes lit up even brighter. Not only did this potential disciple possess outstanding talent, but she was also quite pleasing to the eye! Moreover, she seemed more like... a demoness (succubus)?

"Young master, those three are formidable Profound Realm experts. If you can't defeat them, please release me and save yourself!"

Leng Yanran was surprised by the sudden appearance of the young man, whom she asked to flee. It was unclear whether it was due to his handsome appearance or the realization that her life was nearing its end, but Leng Yanran surprisingly suggested that he run away.

"You brat, be smart and step aside. After I'm done having fun, I'll deal with you properly," the third assassin sneered at Chen Daoxuan.

Observing the youth's unimposing aura and seemingly youthful appearance, the third assassin decided not to be on guard.

"Miss, would you be willing to be my disciple?" Chen Daoxuan, on the other hand, never spared a glance at the three killers. Everyone was within the range of his divine hall, so even if the trio wished to escape, it depended on his willingness.

At this moment, the most crucial thing was to complete the system's task and accept this disciple first! As for those three individuals, what significance did they hold?

"This... If you can suppress those three, I, Leng Yanran, am willing to be your disciple!"

Leng Yanran sized up the youth before her. Although he appeared to be an ordinary person with no trace of spiritual energy, his sudden appearance and his interception of her full-force palm strike suggested hidden strengths. He must have concealed his aura, right?

Furthermore, despite the three Profound Realm experts behind her, he seemed utterly unconcerned, giving Leng Yanran a glimmer of hope.

If this youth truly possessed hidden strength, there was no harm in becoming his disciple if it meant staying alive! Survival was the most crucial consideration!

"Alright, deal!" Chen Daoxuan nodded with a light smile upon hearing her words.

"You deceitful brat! Since you squandered your opportunity, you can die now!"

Liao Lao San sneered and gathered his spiritual energy, intent on crushing the young man into pieces. But in the blink of an eye, the youth vanished without a trace!

"Ugh…"

Before he could react, Liao Lao San felt breathless, realizing that the youth had his neck firmly gripped in his hand.

"Relax, it's normal to be nervous the first time. Take a deep breath, that's it, deep breaths. Feeling dizzy is natural…"

Chen Daoxuan's voice sounded in Liao Lao San's ear, but despite struggling, he found himself powerless, as if his spiritual power was completely sealed!

Amid the astonished gazes of the onlookers, Liao Lao San's struggles grew weaker and weaker, and finally, his head slumped down. Chen Daoxuan then let go, taking a deep breath himself, and nonchalantly tossing the man to the ground.

"Killing someone for the first time is indeed a bit nerve-wracking…"

Chen Daoxuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. After crossing over to this world, it was still his first time killing someone. Despite knowing that this was the cruel world of cultivation, he still couldn't fully adjust to it.

Those words just now were not meant for Liao Lao San, but rather, they were a reflection of his own thoughts. However, in the eyes of the spectators, this scene appeared as if it were something demonic!

"Big brother, let's attack together. This guy is strange!"

The remaining two assassins snapped back to their senses. They hadn't seen how Chen Daoxuan made his move, but they saw him choke the life out of their comrade and heard those eerie words, causing Liao Lao San to breathe deeply as though it was a normal reaction to dying.

It was terrifying!

With no room for carelessness, the two assassins unleashed their formidable skills, launching a full-force assault on Chen Daoxuan!

"Joyful Claw!"

"Magic Blast of Desire!"

Boom…

Their joint attack struck Chen Daoxuan head-on. Yet, he made no attempt to evade and instead allowed the two Profound Realm experts to strike him with full force!

"We got him!"

"Heh, big brother, this kid is nothing. After taking our combined full force, he must have turned into ashes by now!"

Seeing the dust rising, the two assassins were satisfied with the power of their strike. Even if Chen Daoxuan was at the peak of the Profound Realm, facing this attack meant certain death. Reassured by this thought, the burden on their hearts lifted.

"Damn it!"

Leng Yanran couldn't help but clench her fists, feeling uneasy. The youth had the chance to escape, but he chose to stay because of her. Now, he might have fallen victim to their attack due to her humiliation!

Just then, a coughing sound broke the silence, and the astonished crowd widened their eyes.

"Cough, cough, cough. What kind of move was that?" Chen Daoxuan emerged from the dust, looking at the two assassins with disdain.

"Were you trying to raise the dust to suffocate me to death?"

"This!?"

"It's impossible. This brat must have used some kind of defensive treasure!"

"Big brother, let's kill him and take his treasure!"

Shaking off their shock, the assassins were ready to strike again.

"Forget it, how boring."

However, Chen Daoxuan didn't give them another chance. He casually waved his hand, as if shooing away flies. In the next moment, the two Profound Realm experts exploded into pools of blood mist.

"Is this okay?"

Chen Daoxuan turned around, trying to appear friendly, and smiled as he asked the dumbfounded Leng Yanran.

"This, this…"

"Disciple Leng Yanran pays respects to Master!"

Leng Yanran snapped back to her senses, her heart filled with astonishment. The three assassins who had chased her to a dead end were effortlessly dealt with? The power he displayed in just a single wave, what kind of formidable technique was that?

Perhaps this young man before her had already reached at least the Unity Realm or even the legendary Great Accomplishment Realm! In Moro Kingdom, the most powerful experts were only at the Unity Realm, and there were no legends of Great Accomplishment Realm existences!

Without hesitation, Leng Yanran knelt down and paid her respects, showing utmost sincerity as she performed the three bows and nine kowtows, displaying the proper etiquette of a disciple.

You see, even in Moro Country, the strongest experts were only in the Unity Realm, and there were no Great Accomplishment Realm existences at all!

"Well done. Today, I, Chen Daoxuan, shall take you as my disciple, and you shall be my first disciple under the name of Chen Daoxuan," he said, nodding in satisfaction and extending his hand slightly to help Leng Yanran up.

At the same time, a notification from the system rang in his mind.
