Two stories unfolded at once.
On one side, Ao Xue was undergoing the baptism of an ancient and mysterious beastfolk inheritance, willingly absorbing knowledge that could be called forbidden. On the other, in a small valley not far outside Beast City, Little Beast, Jiang Xin, Xia Hanmo, and the others were running around in a panic.
“What do you think they captured the Heartless Man for?”
Jiang Xin sat on a large rock with a blade of foxtail grass between her teeth, frowning as she asked the question.
“They’re definitely taking revenge,” Xia Hanmo replied. “The Heartless Man taught Little Beast, and although the Dragon Girl won the election, she still lost face. She must have been furious, so she sent people to abduct the Heartless Man and find an opportunity to take revenge!”
“That’s probably it.”
Little Beast also sat on a large rock, nodding as she gazed anxiously at the distant city.
“Teacher must be suffering unimaginable torture right now.”
“It’s all my fault...”
She lowered her head guiltily. “Teacher only appeared at the gathering in his true form to encourage me. I never thought the Dragon Girl would hold such a grudge...”
“This isn’t your fault. No one could have expected something like this to happen.”
Xia Hanmo gently comforted her.
The several women, who should have been enemies, had now joined forces against a common foe because of Ao Xue’s appearance.
“Xia Hanmo is right.”
Jiang Xin rose to her feet and looked toward Beast City in the distance. “This isn’t the time to dwell on our troubles. The most urgent thing is to get the Heartless Man out of there.”
“I have a bad feeling about this.”
“If we arrive too late, someone could end up dead!”
“I feel the same way.”
Xia Hanmo and Little Beast nodded in unison.
“But the problem is, how are we supposed to get through the heavily guarded Beast City and rescue the Heartless Man?” The women crouched beside the stream, each lost in thought as they tried to come up with a plan.
Just then, a sharp voice rang out.
“Me! Me! I can do it!”
The women looked up and saw the Little Fancy Rat, who had only just joined them, bouncing up and down while waving her tiny paws at them.
“I have a plan!”
The moment they saw the Little Fancy Rat, the women immediately lost heart.
What could a rat possibly do?
Even so, Little Beast stood up and crouched down in front of the Little Fancy Rat, asking with a smile, “What’s your plan?”
The Little Fancy Rat puffed out her chest, her face full of pride.
“I’m the best at digging tunnels! I can secretly dig a passage inside without anyone noticing me!”
Little Beast nodded slightly at that.
Digging a tunnel?
That might actually work.
After all, no one would pay much attention to a rat by the roadside. Even if they saw it, they probably wouldn’t care and would simply let it go about its business.
But there was still a problem. A rat was still a rat.
If they entered alongside the Little Fancy Rat, the powerful beastfolk inside would certainly sense their presence.
“If only there were some way to keep the beastfolk inside from sensing us,” Little Beast muttered. “Then we could use the tunnel to bring Teacher out.”
“Keep them from sensing us?”
Hearing her mutter, Xia Hanmo stared at the stream flowing all the way toward Beast City. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
“I have an idea!”
“An idea?”
Jiang Xin and Little Beast both looked up at her.
“That’s right.” Xia Hanmo nodded and pointed at the stream before them. “I can put something in the water to make the beastfolk in the city temporarily unable to pay attention to us.”
Little Beast shook her head.
“No.”
“What cultivation level are you at? If you use poison, the important figures inside will notice it easily. Besides, high-level beastfolk generally have a strong resistance to toxins. Not only will you fail to bring them down, you may even alert them to our presence.”
“They might even tighten their defenses.”
Instead of becoming discouraged by Little Beast’s objections, Xia Hanmo’s lips curled slightly upward.
“Who said it has to be poison?”
“We only need to make sure they’re too busy to sense what we’re doing, right?”
“Y-Yes.”
Little Beast nodded, but as she looked at Xia Hanmo’s wicked smile, she couldn’t help feeling that something ominous was about to happen.
“In that case...”
The smile on Xia Hanmo’s lips slowly grew gentler.
“What if what I put in the water isn’t poison at all... but a ‘tonic’ that invigorates the blood and replenishes the vital essence?”

ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain?

Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ...
