(This chapter has been revised)
Time flew by, and it was already the seventh day of Su Ji's secluded cultivation, which was also the final deadline.
In the courtyard, the spiritual energy storm had already subsided.
But the storm inside the room was still ongoing.
Su Ji lay sprawled on the cold floor, staring at the grayish expanse above him.
He felt like a salted fish that had been drained of all its moisture.
Su Ji now seriously suspected that this little fox was treating these seven days of bitter cultivation as the perfect opportunity to take revenge for his previous shameless behaviors.
Hidden within her seemingly aloof body was a competitive spirit that made even Su Ji feel alarmed.
She had the aura of someone who would never tire even after a hundred battles!
Especially after he brought out those profound techniques from the Divine Firmament True Art, it was as if Su Jiu had unblocked her Ren and Du meridians. She could even draw inferences from a single instance, inventing even more outrageous techniques and incantations that were not even recorded in the book.
"Senior Brother."
Su Jiu's slightly hoarse voice rang out from above.
Su Ji could not even be bothered to lift his eyelids, merely giving a weak and breathless "Mhm."
He did not even have the strength to bicker with this little fox anymore.
Su Jiu's figure cast a shadow that enveloped him.
She slowly crouched down, leaning in close to Su Ji's face, her watery fox-like eyes studying him with curiosity.
"Senior Brother, what is wrong?"
Su Ji kept his eyes closed, not wanting to speak.
Su Jiu reached out a fair, slender finger and poked him in the cheek.
"Get up. We have already sparred for ninety rounds. Just ten more rounds and our plan will be completely accomplished."
Su Ji remained as immovable as a mountain, looking just like a corpse.
Seeing him acting like such a scoundrel, Su Jiu's sly fox eyes narrowed slightly.
She did not urge him anymore. Instead, she slowly and methodically pressed her body down onto Su Ji's.
Su Ji's body suddenly stiffened.
His eyes snapped open, his bloodshot pupils filled with horror.
"What... what are you doing?!"
"Round ninety-one."
Su Jiu looked down at him from above, her face bearing the unquestionable, faint smile of a victor.
"Junior Sister! Do not mess around! I..."
Before Su Ji could finish his sentence, he was forcefully interrupted by Su Jiu in a domineering manner.
An unknown amount of time passed.
Su Ji felt as if his entire world had lost its color.
He let out a long breath of impure air.
The sparring was over.
Neither of them spoke.
After a long time.
Su Jiu finally seemed to catch her breath.
She raised her head slightly, her pretty face bearing a trace of unsatisfied languor.
"Senior Brother."
Her voice had become hoarse at some point.
"Why did you yield?"
Su Ji: "..."
He wanted to die.
"Junior Sister," Su Ji's voice was weak and breathless, carrying a frailness as if he had lost all will to live. "We agreed on three rules. Once one side loses their combat capability, the other cannot keep pinning them down and beating them."
"Senior Brother, you said it yourself: for the sake of the big picture, one should not stick to trifles," Su Jiu retorted righteously. She propped up her upper body and blinked her sly fox eyes.
Su Ji almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
"I cannot do it anymore. No matter what you say, I cannot."
Su Ji stiffened his neck, looking as if he would rather die than submit.
"That is it for today!"
Hearing this, the smile on Su Jiu's face slowly faded.
She looked at Su Ji's face, which was written all over with resistance, and her clear fox eyes slowly narrowed.
"Senior Brother, are you sure?"
"I am sure! Absolutely! And positively!"
Su Ji said with absolute firmness.
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought.

Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty!

Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon. One day, he discovered that he himself could also become a system for others, holding the chessboard of fate. The Eighth Epoch, also known as the Eternal Moon Epoch. Humans, witches, elves, bloodline descendants, specters, demons, and spirits together compose a new history. Walking the path on behalf of the moon, before he knew it, Chen Miemie's footsteps were followed by all manner of strange and wondrous anomalies. As time passed, many titles circulated about him—The King in Yellow, Lord of Anomalies, Heart of the Eternal Moon, and more. "Me? I'm just a traveler who enjoys collecting interesting creatures," Chen Miemie said.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
