Grand Return System

Double Fortune Beneath the Heavens

"Now, I announce that Amethyst Summit Division has won this Martial Meeting."

The words rolled through the arena like thunder.

For a heartbeat, silence held.

Then the entire Celestis Academy Premises erupted.

Cheers surged like a tidal wave.

Disciples shouted, elders smiled, even many who had once looked down on Amethyst Summit Division now wore expressions of stunned admiration. Years of ridicule, years of being mocked as the weakest among the Seven Division—

All of it seemed overturned in a single battle.

"Oh, Amethyst Summit Division is awesome!"

In the crowd, Harry Taylor did not hide his happiness and shouted loudly.

That expression was filled with pride.

His black hair was a mess from all the excitement, green eyes shining as though he himself had won the championship.

Amethyst Summit Division had endured countless humiliations from the last place to the current first place. They were all snatched back by Selena today.

Snatched back with a sword.

With blood.

With dignity.

Harry could hardly contain himself.

"Hehe, too awesome! Sister Selena is awesome, Amethyst Summit Division is awesome. Who else? Who else dares to provoke us?"

He practically puffed up as he said it.

Arms crossed.

Chin raised.

As if he had personally defeated the Secret Sword Summit.

Harry Taylor was overjoyed. He had a smug look on his face, causing the other students to be dumbfounded.

One nearby student stared at him in disbelief before asking,

"Are you... also a student of Amethyst Summit Division?"

Harry’s face darkened instantly.

As if deeply offended by the question.

He turned and snapped,

"It’s none of your business. Just tell me if it’s awesome or not."

The surrounding students looked at one another.

Then someone clicked his tongue.

"Tsk..."

But no one refuted him.

Because it was awesome.

Far too awesome.

Above the arena, Mike watched the scene with old eyes filled with quiet satisfaction.

This martial gathering had nearly ended in tragedy—

Yet instead, it ended with glory.

In the arena, Mike squeezed out a gratified smile. He looked at Leon and said, "Haha, Junior Brother, congratulations on winning the finals."

Leon merely smiled, composed as always.

"I was lucky."

Lucky?

Several elders almost laughed hearing that.

If that was luck, what counted as skill?

Still—

That modesty was very Leon.

Mike shook his head with amusement.

Then with a wave of his sleeve, he casually handed over the Martial Meeting reward.

It was a Storage Space jade pendant.

Ancient patterns shimmered faintly over its surface.

Leon took it and checked.

The Mana Guidance Fruit was indeed among them.

A rich spiritual fragrance lingered within, along with treasures and medicinal pills gathered for the victor.

There were spirit materials.

Rare elixirs.

Several items even caused nearby elders to glance twice.

It had to be said that Mike had put in a lot of effort this time.

He had originally wanted to leave these rewards for Blaise to collect personally.

He did not expect Selena to take it.

Although it was a pity, he would not go back on his word.

A Headmaster’s word was mountain law.

Leon accepted the reward.

But just as his fingers closed around the Storage Space—

A familiar voice sounded in his mind.

[Ding...]

Leon’s brows twitched slightly.

That old friend again.

[You gave your student two Miracle healing exilir, triggering a Critical Hit Return.]

[Activate?]

Leon wasn’t surprised by this familiar voice at all.

He was already used to it.

In fact—

He almost found it comforting now.

Without hesitation, he replied inwardly,

"Activate."

The Grand Return System responded instantly.

[Congratulations, you have triggered a ten-thousand-fold critical strike and obtained an immortal-grade: Ten Pheonix Rebirth pill.]

Leon’s calm expression nearly cracked.

"Huh? Why is it ten..."

Even he was genuinely stunned.

This was not a normal return.

Something felt wrong.

Or absurdly right.

He hurriedly asked.

The system answered at once.

[Host, you have triggered two critical strikes. One of them triggered a special reward mechanism, causing a critical hit in the quantity. As a result, you have received an additional reward.]

Leon froze.

Then laughed inwardly.

"You can do that?"

There was almost greed in his amusement.

No—

Not greed.

Triumph.

It turned out that giving them at the same time could trigger a special reward mechanism.

He had made a killing this time.

Not only could he win the hearts of the people—

But he could also get a free reward.

And not just any reward.

An absurd one.

Then the system voice sounded once more.

[Note: Immortal-grade Pheonix Rebirth pill is known to be the highest-grade immortal-grade pill in this series. It has an extremely strong recovery effect and has the miraculous effect of reviving the dead. As long as the other party’s body is still there and his soul has yet to dissipate, everything can be revived.]

Leon’s heartbeat skipped.

Even his fingers tightened around the Storage Space.

Revive the dead?

That was no longer medicine.

That was defying fate.

The system added one final line.

[The host can personally test the specific effects.]

Leon almost choked.

Test it personally?

His mouth twitched.

"Hiss... Damn, is this the legendary Double Happiness?"

As soon as these words were spoken, even Leon, who was as calm as an old dog, couldn’t remain calm.

His heart thundered.

His thoughts raced.

This Immortal-grade Pheonix Rebirth pill actually had the miraculous effect of reviving the dead.

Didn’t that mean that with these ten pills, he would have ten lives?

Ten chances against destiny.

Ten escapes from death.

Ten reversals of impossible situations.

This was incredible.

For a long moment, even the cheers of the arena seemed distant.

His mind was elsewhere.

Schemes.

Battles.

Future dangers.

Possibilities exploded before him.

He could do whatever he wanted in the future with these ten pills.
