Bzzzz—!!!!
BOOM!!!
The entire venue fell abruptly silent.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at Qin Luo, who had suddenly appeared before Xuan Xingzi and delivered a resounding slap to his face.
Their jaws dropped as if time itself had frozen in that moment.
Wait... what the—?!
In the shadows.
The onlookers from the Great Thousand Worlds were equally stunned.
This...
Holy crap!!!
Xuan Xingzi of the Celestial Star Palace just got slapped?!!
As for Xuan Xingzi himself, his head was tilted to the side, his hand clutching his cheek.
His face was swollen, the searing pain leaving him momentarily dazed.
But...
As the sound of the crowd's shocked gasps echoed in his ears,
his expression shifted from initial confusion to shock, then disbelief, and finally twisted into pure rage.
Xuan Xingzi finally snapped back to reality.
What...
I... I was just hit?!
"You... you dare strike me?!" Xuan Xingzi's voice trembled, edged with a shrill, hysterical tone.
His noble status, his supreme dignity—publicly humiliated by a lowly ant from the lower realm!
"Do you even know who I am?! I am Xuan Xingzi of the Celestial Star Palace!"
"You... you wretched insect!!"
"How dare you... how dare you—"
His voice grew increasingly shrill, nearly piercing everyone's eardrums.
Then.
"Enough noise."
SMACK!
"Guh—!"
Qin Luo delivered another backhanded slap, sending Xuan Xingzi's head whipping to the side.
"This slap—is for your foul mouth and arrogance!!"
SMACK!
Another slap followed.
Xuan Xingzi's head jerked the other way.
"This slap—is for your delusions of grandeur and ignorance of your own limits!!"
SMACK!
Yet another slap!
"This slap—is for bullying the weak and abusing your power!!"
SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK!!!
"And these slaps—are for being so damn ugly!!!"
Wait—!!!
The crowd was stunned.
Since when was being ugly a reason to get slapped?!
But unlike the others,
Su Muwan stood frozen in place, swallowing hard.
"I feel this on a spiritual level, folks! I’ve gotten used to it by now!"
"But you all better get used to it too!!"
Qin Luo, still not satisfied, raised his hand again. "This—"
"Hey, wait!"
"Let me have a turn!"
Su Muwan instantly flew over. Seriously?!
All bark and no bite?!
Scared the hell out of me!
She swung her hand—
SMACK!!!!
"Guh—!"
Xuan Xingzi's head snapped to the left.
"This slap—is for your blind eyes!! How dare you not recognize who I am?!"
SMACK!!
Qin Luo followed up with another slap.
"Guh—!"
Xuan Xingzi's head whipped to the right.
"This slap—is for your lack of respect!! You didn’t even kneel when stepping onto my family’s turf!"
SMACK!!
"Guh—!"
Back to the left.
Su Muwan struck again. "Exactly!! This slap—is for your insolence!! Even I’m not this arrogant!!"
SMACK!!
"You blind old fool! If I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll never learn who rules these waters!"
SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK!!
The sound of slaps became a relentless symphony.
From then on,
the crowd could only watch in stunned silence as Xuan Xingzi’s head was batted back and forth between Qin Luo and Su Muwan.
One slap from him, one slap from her.
By the end, Xuan Xingzi was twitching uncontrollably, blood foaming at his lips.
In the back,
Chu Yu shivered in fear.
Wait—
I thought you were here to save me! With that overwhelming aura, I assumed you were strong!
But...
This is it?!
The live chat exploded.
[Holy crap!!! Qin Luo’s treating this old geezer like a punching bag!!!]
[Damn! Couple’s combo beatdown, huh?]
[Unbelievable!! The young couple slapping around a century-old bastard!!]
In the shadows,
Yan Lie and the others from the Great Thousand Worlds were utterly dumbfounded.
Their faces twitched, their bodies trembling.
Seriously?!
Dude?!
Why aren’t you fighting back?!
At least move! Dodge! Do something!!
Why are you just standing there letting them take turns slapping you?!
Xuan Xingzi?!
Have you lost your damn mind?!
They began to wonder—had Xuan Xingzi been corrupted by some evil force?!
How else could he do something so absurd?
But contrary to their thoughts,
Xuan Xingzi, now twitching, barely conscious, blood dripping from his mouth, was on the verge of collapsing into a writhing heap.
Yet—
Move!!
Why can’t I move?!
His eyes bulged, his breathing ragged.
Why?! Why can’t I move?!!
Finally,
Qin Luo and Su Muwan seemed to have had their fill.
"One last slap!"
"For good measure!!"
"Consider it a bonus!!"
They spoke in unison, their hands swinging with finality—
SMACK—!!!
The last slap sent Xuan Xingzi flying like a broken kite, crashing into the ground with a thunderous impact.
BOOM!
The force left a spiderweb of cracks in the floor.
Su Muwan’s participation had perfectly compensated for Qin Luo’s "lack of offensive power" in his slaps.
Xuan Xingzi now lay curled in the crater, his violet-gold robes soaked in blood.
His face was so swollen his eyes were nearly buried, broken teeth mixed with blood dribbling from his lips.
Every breath came out as a wheezing rattle.
"Yay! Home run!" Su Muwan cheered, high-fiving Qin Luo.
The latter grinned. "Feeling better, my lady?"
"Much! No wonder you love slapping people, Qin Luo! Hehe..."
While the two celebrated,
below them,
"You... you dare treat me like this..."
Despite his pig-faced state, Xuan Xingzi—being from the Upper Realm—could still speak.
His voice was hoarse, his gaze filled with venomous hatred.
Cultivating for centuries, he had never suffered such humiliation!
He was Xuan Xingzi of the Celestial Star Palace, a being of supreme dignity!
Yet now?!
Publicly shamed, beaten senseless by two ants he had looked down upon!
This was an unforgivable disgrace!
"I... I’ll kill you! I swear I’ll kill you both!"
His scream was hysterical. Just as he tried to form a hand seal—
SQUISH!!
The pulsating heart at the center of the palace, as if seizing the perfect moment,
suddenly shot out two black tendrils, impaling Xuan Xingzi.
"This is—?! Gluttony!!!"
"Help! He—!!"
Before his horrified eyes, the tendrils yanked him into the heart in an instant.
Qin Luo suddenly turned to face the "camera."
"So that’s it!!"
"This old man was in cahoots with the evil entity!!"
"They’ve merged now!!!"
"Then... are there others like him lurking in the shadows?!"
[Whispers of the Wind—Activate!]
The Great Thousand Worlds spectators: ???
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.”
【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. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer!

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
nto another world, I bought a slave for the first time, never expecting the silver wolf girl to be so cute... Lin Feng: I know it's cold, but you don't have to sneak into my bed! Yuna: Just sharing body warmth, if you dare do anything naughty, I'll definitely...
