I Stepped on a Bug, and the System Says I Slayed a Dragon? Chapter 167 - 166: Condensing the Origin of the Law

Night fell.

Fuhai Villa Complex.

In the living room, the crystal chandelier sparkled.

Xiaobai was sprawled on the sofa, her pale, slender legs kicking gently in the air. She clutched a freshly delivered cardboard box, excitedly tearing it open.

RRRIP—

The box tore open.

Imdiately, a small, light pink phone appeared in her hands.

’Hmph! After sucking up to Master for so long, he finally bought one for this Fairy!’

Xiaobai fiddled with the phone, plugged in the charging cable, and held down the power button. Her fluffy fox tail began to wag excitedly as she watched the screen slowly light up.

It hadn’t been easy!

Using Qin Yang’s phone these past few days had been so inconvenient. After pestering him relentlessly—sucking up to him, crying, and throwing tantrums—Qin Yang had finally, reluctantly, ordered her a new phone online.

’Now, what should I play with?’

Xiaobai hugged her new phone, sprawling on the sofa as she mulled it over.

She suddenly rembered the short-form video app Qin Yang was always scrolling through.

’That app seems pretty fun, right?’

At that thought, Xiaobai swiped the screen a couple of tis. As expected with such a popular app, the manufacturer had already pre-installed it, no download necessary.

Sure enough.

After a couple of swipes, the short-form video app popped up.

’Hehe, create an account, log in, and... done!’

Xiaobai expertly opened the app and started scrolling. The next mont, a recomnded video popped up on her feed.

[A Compilation of the Jianghai Sword God’s Most Classic Monts]

It had tens of millions of views, was in the top ten trending topics, and even had a little fla icon next to it.

’Ugh, why is it Master?’

Xiaobai frowned. ’What a bad start. I’m finally online, and I still can’t get away from my rotten Master?’

This thought soured her mood, and she swiped to the next video.

The next video.

[The Sword God’s Wrath! His Flying Sword Hunts His Foe!!!]

It also had tens of millions of shares and views. The comnt section was flooded with praise, everyone hyping up the Jianghai Sword God to the high heavens.

Many netizens even claid to have been there, giving first-hand accounts that attracted tons of likes.

’Damn it! Why is everyone sucking up to Master?!’

Xiaobai scrolled past it to the videos below, gritting her teeth in exasperation.

’I finally get a phone and go online.’

’I can deal with being tornted by Qin Yang offline every day... that’s fine.’

’But now I’m on the internet!’

’And I still can’t escape his clutches?!!’

’This is outrageous!’

At this thought.

Staring at the comnts, Xiaobai suddenly had a bold idea.

’What if...’

’...I exposed how Qin Yang bullies every day?’

’Could I stir up so drama?’

’Fine, fine. You all love my rotten Master so much, do you? Well then, this Fairy will show you his true colors!’

With that, Xiaobai opened her profile settings and, tapping furiously at the screen, began to change her userna.

Her default nurical userna was changed to [Sword God’s #1 Hater]. Then, she found a video about the Jianghai Sword God and started posting slanderous comnts.

"The Sword God is total trash!!!"

"He tortures small animals at ho every day!"

"He’s not even worth a damn! Just a quack who peddles fake dicine!"

After posting a dozen or so comnts in a row,

Xiaobai lay on the sofa hugging her phone, her eyes closing in satisfaction as she rested her head on her fluffy tail.

’Now that all my frustrations are out, I finally feel better. It really is best to vent your feelings right away.’

A few seconds passed.

DING—

She received her very first reply from another netizen.

"**!!"

’Huh? Why is this person sending asterisks?’

Xiaobai froze, tilting her head in confusion. She counted them—exactly two asterisks. ’What does this an?’

But before she could even reply to ask,

The next mont.

DING DING DING DING DING!!

Her reply notifications exploded, and a torrent of furious comnts swept in!

Followers of the Jianghai Sword God were bombarding her en masse. Xiaobai’s phone buzzed and humd nonstop as her notification counter instantly shot past 99 !

"You little hater! Finally showing your true colors, huh?!"

"Dude, seriously, with that userna, it looks like you’re just pretending to be a hater. This is bait, right?"

"This is wild. The internet truly shows you the diversity of all living things!"

"Hating on the Jianghai Sword God? Are you even human?!"

Hostile replies flooded in, stacking up under her original comnts. In an instant, the reply chain grew to hundreds of comnts deep! Soone even made a forum post about her.

An overwhelming flood of traffic boosted her comnt’s popularity, pushing it to the very top of the comnt section for everyone to see.

Seeing the furious comnts flooding her screen, Xiaobai, who had never witnessed such a spectacle, was completely overwheld. The little fox was utterly dumbfounded.

"???"

’The Jianghai Sword God is really this popular?’

’And they’re all here to fla **!?’

’I just made this account! You think this Fairy is going to take this crap from you lot?!!’

Xiaobai was furious. Gritting her teeth, she furiously tapped out a long reply on the screen. After checking it for errors, she slamd the ’paper airplane’ send button.

Send!

DING—

[Failed to send!]

’Huh???’

Xiaobai stared at the "Failed to send!" notification, a cartoonish question mark practically appearing over her head.

’What’s going on?’

’Is it my connection?’

She squinted, pulled down her notification shade to find the reason for the failure, and then opened her profile page. Only then did she see an official ssage.

[Your account has violated the community guidelines!]

[Status: Permanently Banned]

A permaban!

’Huh? I’ve been permabanned already?’

Xiaobai’s eyes went wide as she read the ssage.

’Wait! I literally just made this account, and you’re already giving a permaban?!’

’On what grounds?!’

’I’m so mad!’

’Well, I’ll be. So all of you just love the Jianghai Sword God that much, huh?’

Fuming, Xiaobai expertly deleted the account and imdiately created a new burner account, ready to continue stirring the pot.

’If I don’t fla these guys into submission today...’

’...then this Fairy’s na isn’t Bai!!!’

But just then.

BOOM!

A sudden clap of thunder shook the night sky outside the window. A brilliant flash of white light tore through the darkness, and a violent aura descended. The shock made her hand tremble, and her new phone went flying.

It hit the corner of the table.

CRACK...

The screen shattered...

...

In the courtyard, Qin Yang sat cross-legged on the ground, his focus absolute as he comprehended the Thunder Law. The night sky above him flashed with thunder and lightning.

After several days, his comprehension of the Thunder Technique Fragnt was finally nearing its conclusion.

Tonight was the final stage!

’Whether I break through or not all cos down to this.’

At this thought.

Qin Yang sank into the Enlightennt Space, chasing the Thunder Technique Fragnt within his mind. A surge of thunderous light erupted from him, and purple arcs of electricity enveloped his entire body.

As his aura soared, the Enlightennt Space contracted, capturing the darting Thunder Technique Fragnt within it.

A mont later.

HUMMM!

A profound hum of Array Patterns sounded. The purple electricity around him died down, and Qin Yang slowly opened his eyes. A silver mark had coalesced between his brows.

It was shaped like a forked lightning bolt.

It contained an imnse amount of Thunder Power.

’The origin of the Thunder Law... I’ve finally mastered it!’
