Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"Hunter Mecha…?" Gao Suyin frowned.

"Yes," Ye Tian Yun nodded, "It's quite intriguing."

Just then, Wang Yao chimed, "You can't have it. These mechas are connected with the Soul."

Ye Tian Yun didn't react, he simply waited for Gao Suyin to respond.

"This can't be given." She said, "These are soul bound."

Ye Tian Yun sighed, "Alright, can you stand?"

Gao Suyin tried to move her body but then shook her head, "I can't."

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Nevermind, tell me how to get out of here."

"We can leave once the quest is completed," She replied.

-siu!

The sword on Gao Suyin's neck disappeared.

Ye Tian Yun retracted his hand and asked Wang Yao, 'Isn't the quest completed? How can I leave this place?"

Wang Yao shrugged, "What does the prompt say?"

Ye Tian Yun frowned, and as soon as he thought of the prompt, it appeared in front of him.

[Player Ye Tian Yun, you cannot use this exp, would you like to give this to your party members?]

[Yes - No]

'She is the party member?' Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes, 'Wang Yao, how do I evaluate myself?'

Wang Yao shook his head, "We can't do it right now. You will need a Soul Stone."

"Soul Stone?"

"Yeah," Wang Yao nodded, "It will grant you evaluation, and after the first evaluation, the dungeons will automatically update your status."

Gao Suyin, who was still on the floor, was confused by Ye Tian Yun's silence. She couldn't tell what he was thinking.

'Don't tell me he's contemplating whether to kill me or not?'

Fortunately for her, Ye Tian Yun had already changed his mind. He was interested in her Hunter Mecha, but after knowing that the Hunter can't be traded, he didn't bother about it anymore.

'How come he didn't doubt my words? He is either very observant, or he's really stupid.'' Gao Suyin didn't know about Wang Yao's presence in Ye Tian Yun's consciousness.

On the other hand, Ye Tian Yun was conversing with Wang Yao.

'So you're telling me that there are more dungeons like this?'

'Yes, there are.' Wang Yao nodded, 'But not here or in Middle Heavens.'

'Upper Heavens?'

'Yes.'

'So, Upper Heavens is connected to Earth?'

'Of course, but I don't know what the connection is.' Wang Yao replied.

'Hm, it's still a long way to go before getting to the Upper Heavens.' Ye Tian Yun shook his head, 'First, we need to decide what to do with this girl?'

Wang  Yao scratched his chin, 'Do as you please. She's just an F or E rank hunter, though I don't know which level.'

Ye Tian Yun was about to add something, but Gao Suyin spoke, attracting his attention.

"Can I ask for a favor?"

"Hm?" he frowned, "What is it?"

"I… um… I know it's quite shameless, but can you share the exp with me?" Gao Suyin cleared her throat, "My mecha needs the exp to evolve and repair itself."

Ye Tian Yun thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, but answer a few questions of mine first."

"What?"

"Do you have a Soul Stone?"

"Soul Stone!" Gao Suyin was surprised. This wasn't something she was expecting to hear.

"I don't have any." She replied truthfully.

Ye Tian Yun scratched his chin, "Do you have anything which can help me in my evaluation?"

"Oh, yeah, you're not evaluated…." Gao Suyin took a light breath, "I forgot about that. Well, only Soul Stones can awaken your spirit weapon."

"Spirit Weapon?" Ye Tian Yun frowned.

Gao Suyin nodded, "The mecha is my spirit weapon."

Ye Tian Yun thought for a moment and asked, "Everyone has this mecha in your realm?"

"No," Gao Suyin shook her head, "Everyone has spirit weapons, but not all spirit weapons are the same. Some have armor like mine, which we call mecha, and some have shields; some have weapons like swords, dagger, bows & arrows or even guns."

"Gun?" Ye Tian Yun asked, "What's a gun?"

"It's…" Gao Suyin thought for a moment and then said, "It's a very powerful range weapon. Very rare."

"Hm…" He nodded, "So only one spirit weapon per person?"

"Yes," She nodded, "Though there have been cases with dual spirit weapons, that's very rare."

"How does this weapon work?"

"They are like swords or armors. The only difference is, they can never be taken away and will forever be part of the Soul."

Ye Tian Yun remained silent for a minute and then shook his head, "Not quite interesting, to be honest. How do you people cultivate? Just these weapons are enough?"

"We evolve these weapons." She said, "And increase our own stats."

"So… you all have a system?"

"...Yes, kind of."

Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips.

It was hard to imagine a world where everyone has a system!

'Doesn't that mean everyone will have shortcuts?'

No matter what System was trying to do, one cannot deny that System did help Ye Tian Yun a lot in swift cultivation breakthroughs and even have some good artifacts, like the Nine Heavens Painting.

'Um, that was the only artifact… anyway, the point still stands.'

Ye Tian Yun stared at the young woman in front of her and asked, "Your eyes… Do all people on earth have green eyes?"

"No," She shook her head, "It's quite rare to have green eyes."

"Hmn…" Ye Tian Yun smiled and glanced at the prompt.

[Player Ye Tian Yun, you cannot use this exp, would you like to give this to your party members?]

[Yes - No]

'Yes.' He selected his answer.

[Exp has been delivered to your party member 'Empress']

'Empress….?' He was taken aback by this name.

But just then, Gao Suyin's hunter mecha suddenly began to glow red.

'It's repairing itself.' Wang Yao said.

Ye Tian Yun nodded.

The hunter mecha continued to glow, and soon it was so intense that Ye Tian Yun had to shut his eyes.

'Fuck! This hurts!' Wang Yao suddenly shouted, 'I am going back to consciousness!'

A sword instantly appeared in Ye Tian Yun's hand as he spread out his spirit sense. All this time, he hadn't lowered his guard at all.

A few seconds later, when he sensed that the hunter had turned back to normal, he slowly opened his eyes, but the scene in front of him made him pause.
