Chen Ningshuang was extremely excited, narrowing her eyes as she looked at Jiang Che.
She was the inheritor of ancient martial arts Tai Chi, yet Jiang Che had effortlessly suppressed her.
"Jiang Che, you know Tai Chi? But aren’t you from the ancient martial arts Jiang family? I remember the Jiang family doesn’t practice Tai Chi, do they?"
Little question mark, do you have many friends?
"What? Is Tai Chi your family’s exclusive property? Can’t others learn it?"
Jiang Che teased, as he had received the reward 'Ancient Martial Arts Tai Chi' when he first obtained the Villain System.
The system’s reward wasn’t just one style of Tai Chi, but an all-encompassing mastery of the entire Tai Chi lineage, including the Chen-style Tai Chi from Chen Family Village.
Moreover, there were many lost techniques, areas Chen Ningshuang had never even touched.
The complete version of ancient martial arts Tai Chi was, for a martial arts enthusiast like Chen Ningshuang, the ultimate temptation.
"You..." Chen Ningshuang wasn’t exactly angry anymore.
She had already come to understand this man’s mischievous personality. If you took him too seriously... you’d end up being driven mad by him sooner or later!
"Jiang Che, the Tai Chi you just performed... it wasn’t just our Chen-style, was it? Did it include some of the lost lineages?"
Jiang Che snapped his fingers. "Smart. My Tai Chi not only includes Chen-style but also the Yang-style, encompassing all 13 lineages of Tai Chi. And I’ve already mastered them all."
The girl’s breathing quickened slightly upon hearing Jiang Che’s words.
Yang-style Tai Chi? Wasn’t that a long-lost Tai Chi technique?
The young woman’s gaze grew determined. She reached out and wrapped her small hand around Jiang Che’s arm, recalling how Qin Qiaoqiao and the other girls would act coquettishly. She imitated them, speaking in a sweet, pleading voice.
"Jiang Che, can you teach me?"
"Oh? You want to learn? Show me your sincerity then," Jiang Che said, lifting two fingers to tilt Chen Ningshuang’s chin upward.
Chen Ningshuang: "......"
Looking at Jiang Che’s smiling face, Chen Ningshuang felt a mix of emotions.
Thinking back, she had once believed Jiang Che to be nothing more than a useless playboy.
But now, not only did Jiang Che possess powerful dual-cultivation techniques, his understanding of Tai Chi far surpassed her own.
Women are naturally drawn to strength, and Chen Ningshuang was no exception. She had gradually fallen into the trap Jiang Che had woven for her, and she knew it. She was fully aware that she had fallen for him... but she no longer felt the urge to resist.
Jiang Che chuckled, gently pinching Chen Ningshuang’s soft cheek. "Alright, I’ll teach you. I’m waiting for you to grow stronger... so I can live off you!"
Chen Ningshuang’s face turned red. Living off her... wasn’t Jiang Che the type to always take advantage of others?
...
Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yunli were the epitome of a model couple, but they were far from model parents.
The two of them were truly in love, and their child was merely an afterthought.
They hadn’t even returned for Jiang Che’s college entrance exams, having reportedly traveled all the way to Iceland for a global tour...
The exam questions were quite simple for Jiang Che, though he might lose a few points in the Chinese reading comprehension section. As for the essay... Jiang Che was absolutely certain he’d score full marks.
Full marks on the essay—Jiang Che was 100% confident about that!
The reason? He had decided to play the role of a literary plagiarist.
The essay topic required a discussion on teachers and education, so Jiang Che, without hesitation, copied the entire classical essay "Shi Shuo" by Han Yu, the leading figure of the Tang and Song Eight Great Prose Masters!
Do you understand the sheer prestige of Han Yu, the head of the Tang and Song Eight Great Prose Masters?
"In ancient times, those who pursued learning always had teachers. Teachers are those who transmit the Way, impart knowledge, and resolve doubts..."
If "Shi Shuo" didn’t earn full marks, then the education system of Dragon Country was undoubtedly a failure!
"Huh? A candidate’s already out?"
A sharp-eyed reporter rushed over to Jiang Che, almost shoving the microphone into his mouth.
"Handsome, you finished the exam awfully early, didn’t you?"
Jiang Che smirked. Shouldn’t such a showy moment be reserved for the protagonists of destiny?
Who would’ve thought that a villain like him could enjoy this kind of treatment? Hehehe—
"How difficult was the exam this time?" the reporter pressed.
The parents around them also looked eager for answers.
"Ah—" Jiang Che sighed deeply.
"If only relationships were as simple as these questions~"
The reporters: "......"
For some reason, they felt an urge to punch someone. Just then, a voice called out from behind the exam hall.
"Jiang Che!"
Before Jiang Che could turn around, Qin Qiaoqiao had already leaped onto his back, her face lit up with a radiant smile.
Her arms wrapped around Jiang Che’s neck.
"Qiaoqiao, there are so many people here. Aren’t you embarrassed?"
Only after Jiang Che’s reminder did Qin Qiaoqiao realize the crowd of reporters with cameras surrounding them.
The young girl’s face instantly turned bright red!
Oh no~
Overcome with shyness, she buried her face in Jiang Che’s shoulder and whispered, "Hurry, carry me away!"
Though Qin Qiaoqiao was quite bold around Jiang Che, she was still a 19-year-old girl at heart, and her shyness showed when faced with strangers.
Jiang Che adjusted his grip on Qin Qiaoqiao’s bottom and prepared to make a quick exit.
But the next moment, another graceful figure approached, carrying a backpack. Her delicate and charming features were unmistakable—it was none other than Ye Mengyao.
[Darn it! I’m too late! I knew I shouldn’t have double-checked my answers!]
Ye Mengyao felt like she’d regret this for a whole year, but she was quick-witted. Right in front of all the reporters and parents, she planted a kiss on Jiang Che’s cheek and even flashed a playful gesture at the camera-wielding journalists.
Everyone present was stunned. What the hell was going on?
What was the relationship between that young man and these two beautiful girls?
Suddenly, they recalled Jiang Che’s earlier statement.
"If only relationships were as simple as these questions~"
Thinking about it, it seemed like he wasn’t just boasting.
This guy... he’s really something else!
Two-timing?
No way! Absolutely no way!
Sure, he’s handsome, but could his luck with women really be this good?
But what shocked them even more was yet to come.
"Whoosh—"
A Rolls-Royce Cullinan pulled up, and the window rolled down to reveal a cool, aloof beauty wearing sunglasses. She slowly turned her gaze, removing her glasses—it was none other than Gu Lingfei.
And just like that... the three of them got into Gu Lingfei’s car, leaving the reporters and onlookers utterly dumbfounded.
"This guy... he’s really something else!"
Of course, some reporters saw this as a golden opportunity. This was big news!
A wealthy young master, a playboy, and someone who claimed the exam was easy?
If this got out, it would definitely go viral!
After all, in today’s society, with the rapid growth of short video platforms, even the smallest incidents could trend.
And something as significant as college entrance exams?
The impact would be explosive. Of course, spreading this might damage his reputation somewhat.
But what did that have to do with the reporters?
Their job was just to report the news.

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.

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.”
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
