Chapter 322 – Crazy Florida Man Who Forcefully Performed Gender Transformation Operation to Youth Proves That Schizophrenic is Contagious
After bestowing the bloodline and the right cultivation method to Tang San, Leo closed his eyes and entered the simulation mode. He then summoned Tang San to fight.

.
Leo was slightly disappointed as the capped potential of Tang San was only at the deity stage. Meanwhile, Esen was an immortal when Leo tested her ability, but her clone's max strength was the entity realm.
Still, everything went according to Leo's plan. He didn't bring Tang San or plan to bring the other talented youth here for no reason.
'It doesn't matter. Time to collect my investments.'
Leo started the simulation by summoning Tang San's clone to fight.
…
A day in the time chamber quickly passed. Tang San practiced some external martial arts and his special moves. Finally, he managed to get used to his new physique.
Meanwhile, Leo reaped some benefits. He crushed Tang San's clones 10,000 times, copying the junior's skills and obtaining his personal weapon.
Leo reopened his eyes on the second day in the time chamber. As he had nothing to earn from Tang San at his current potential, Leo attempted to stimulate the young man a bit.
"Boy! Come here!"
Tang San rushed to Leo and knelt. He smiled and reported.
"I've finally consolidated my foundation and stabilized my cultivation base, senior! Should I tackle the immortal stage today?"
"Yeah, I'm planning to. But first thing's first!"
Leo stretched his fingertip and reached out toward Tang San's forehead. It pierced into his head without causing physical harm!
Tang San widened his eyes in shock as Leo suddenly attacked him, yet he didn't resist. A few seconds later, Tang San figured that Leo didn't actually harm him, so he teased the master.
"Senior! Why are you 'FINGERING' me?!"
Leo broke a sweat, "PHRASING, you dipshit! That sounds so wrong!"
"But you're FINGERING ME!"
"God dammit! Shut up and stay still!" Leo grumbled while he searched for a certain object.
After wiggling his fingertip in Tang San's soul for a minute, Leo pulled out a small crystal. It was a lot smaller than regular crystals of the same type.
DING
<You have extracted a heavenly fate crystal from Tang San's soul.>
<Warning! By forcefully extracting a fate crystal from your people's souls, you are harming their cultivation foundation! Please do not mistreat your people as their faith will affect your future cultivation stages.>
Leo snorted and retorted, "I know. Man, I'm trying to unlock this brat's potential here. Be quiet for a moment."
After getting his hand on Tang San's heavenly fate crystal, he ejected six of his heavenly fate crystals from his soul and merged with Tang San's crystal.
The seven crystals shone so bright that they temporarily blinded Tang San. On the other hand, Leo saw through the radiant light and witnessed the seven heavenly fate crystals transforming into one fist-sized crystal ball.
DING
<You have condensed a True Heavenly Fate Crystal!>
Although this was his first time creating a true heavenly fate crystal, Leo's expression remained indifferent. He already had a superior version of this.
"Identify!"
DING

True Heavenly Fate Crystal
This crystal can only be created by merging seven Heavenly Fate Crystals. Any True Heavenly Fate Crystal can be used as a consumable item, a socket item for system facilities, or an imprint on a soul.
By crushing this crystal, the owner can erase all system abilities from a nearby system user who has obtained their system abilities from heavenly fate crystals or inferior crystals.
If it is equipped in a system facility or system equipment's socket, it will grant a random blessing to the facility or the equipment. In case it is used to imprint a soul, a unique system will be generated and imprinted to the karmic soul. However, it will disappear if the true heavenly fate crystal's owner is killed by another true fate crystal's owner.
Hidden Feature (1): If any mortal under 20 years of age becomes the owner of this 'True Heavenly Fate Crystal', they will be blessed with absolute luck for 100 years or until their cultivation base reaches the ceiling of the current universe.
Hidden Feature (2): This True Heavenly Fate Crystal can generate one of the three following systems for the owner if it is imprinted to its owner's soul;
- Qi Stealing System (25%)
- Entity-Grade Armory System (50%)
- Passive Ability of an existing Entity (25%)
Hidden Feature (3): If this true heavenly fate crystal is the only fate crystal in the owner's soul, the owner's cultivation ceiling will be capped at the Transcendent Level 10. Otherwise, the owner's cultivation base is capped at the Entity Realm or this effect is overridden by a superior true fate crystal.

Leo scoffed at the fate crystal as it reminded him of many main characters in various stories.
"Yup. Sounds like a typical plot armor of a main character, alright."
If Leo shoved this crystal back into Tang San's soul, he could easily make the guy stronger instantly. However, he had a better idea.
Leo opened his shopping system and browsed the unique item list.

The two items in the shop could only be purchased by exchanging fate crystals. However, it did not require the true heavenly fate crystal but a regular one.
As kind as he was, Leo wrote down the details of the true heavenly fate crystal's perks and the boons of the items in the shop for Tang San. Then, Leo presented the options to him.
"Pay attention, okay?"
"Yes?" Tang San was curious.
"Alright, Mr. Anderson. Here's a blue pill and a red pill. You can only take one. If you take the blue pill, aka the soul enlightenment option, you will obtain an assistant system. Your cultivation aptitude will greatly improve, and your cultivation ceiling will be higher."
"…Who is this Mr. An-Der-Son? Also, where are the pills?" Tang San didn't understand the meme.
Realizing that the meme was ineffective against locals, Leo stopped messing around. Leo explained.
"The crystal is the goddamn pill, you dum-dum. Here, you read what I wrote first."
"O-Okay?"
Tang San accepted the papers that Leo had just written. He skimmed through the details, but he was still confused.
"What's a system? What's a dantian universe?"
Leo sighed and took his time to explain without skipping the details.
…
Hours later, Leo finished the lecture. Meanwhile, Tang San was enlightened.
"Wow. So, I can create a planet inside me?"
"Not just one but many."
"Isn't this good? I love this! Can I choose the blue pill right away?"
"Don't you want to hear the red pill's details first?"
"…Oh. Okay, let's hear it."
Leo slightly shook his head and showed Tang San what he had copied from the system screen.
Tang San took the paper and read through it. But again, as an inexperienced mortal, he didn't understand the significance of its usage. He asked Leo once more.
"What's the point of this? This seems bad."
Leo rolled his eyes and pointed out the difference, "Didn't you read it properly? If you choose this path, your cultivation ceiling will be higher than the blue pill options."
"Then, this red pill is better?"
"Not really. You won't get the assist system to help you. You will also need to find a way to grow a dantian universe by yourself. In short, the blue pill is an easy mode that guarantees your success. The red pill is a challenger mode with more rewards."
Tang San widely grinned. He made his decision without batting an eye, "Then, I'll pick the path with more rewards, please!"
Leo shook his head, "You're greedy, I see."
"Greedy is always good. My master… I mean, Senior Kishin taught me that a person must be delusional first to become motivated. I'm a delusional aspiring cultivator who wishes to become the strongest man in the universe! Can't I take a little challenge?"
Leo inwardly laughed at Tang San's mindset as he approved it. After all, he wasn't wrong.
"Well, I don't know how that guy came up with this philosophy, but he's right. Every successful person must be delusional first before they start their journey! Without a grand goal, there is no inspiration and motivation! Take the goddamn blue pill, you sick protagonist!"
"…What's protagonist?"
"…Forget it."
Leo shoved the true heavenly fate crystal into Tang San's soul and burnt the papers. After returning the upgraded version of the fate crystal back, he let the guy digest the new information and his new power.
Tang San stood still while his eyes dimmed. His consciousness had already taken a trip to his sea of consciousness. From that day onward, he would see things that no one but Leo and other true fate crystal owners could see.
After confirming that Tang San received the true fate crystal properly, Leo left him alone. He returned to his meditation session, returning to his good old dantian universe.
…
Upon getting back, Leo checked the strength of Tang San's clones again.
This time, the detail drastically changed.

.
Leo wryly smiled as the guy exceeded his expectations. He was expecting a karmic sovereign, but this protagonist-like dude had the potential to catch up with Leo's strength.
"I take this as a challenge, then. Fine. I'll do my best to steal your skills and daos, boy!"
Although his chance of winning was slim, Leo tried it anyway. After all, nobody could teach him better martial arts techniques or combat tactics than real opponents.
Leo's journey to grow stronger and understand his full potential continued.
