The next morning.
Keywords like "Night King," "Night Organization," and "Qingfeng Sect" quickly topped the trending searches.
This organization, which had vanished for a month, once again entered the public eye.
Was the Night King's true purpose to punish evil and uphold justice, or to devour souls for cultivation?
The internet was sharply divided.
One camp argued that the Night King only killed ruthless villains who treated civilians as less than human—deserving deaths.
The other camp believed the Night King's intentions were sinister, aiming to rise above moral constraints and feast on souls without remorse.
The debate raged fiercely online.
At the headquarters of the Martial Arts Department.
Inside the large conference hall of the main building.
All department members had gathered.
The crowd speculated that today's discussion would undoubtedly revolve around the Night King.
Bai Jun, who had been absent for some time, was naturally among them. As the department's youngest prodigy and master, he sat in the front row.
Lin Yinyin had also been summoned back, a rare occurrence.
"Bai Jun~~ (T_T), you’re not dead!!"
Lin Yinyin grabbed Bai Jun's hand, sniffling and sobbing dramatically.
Bai Jun's lips twitched as he sighed helplessly. "Teacher, you’re overdoing it."
"Though I didn’t die, I lost a layer of skin. Now I’m just a lowly logistics staff."
"Whaaat?"
Lin Yinyin froze, glanced at the figure on stage, then lowered her voice. "That old geezer won’t let you go to the frontlines anymore?"
Old geezer...
Bai Jun stole a look at Long Tianyuan’s stern expression on stage before replying softly, "The director shielded me from some of the pressure. Just being allowed to stay in the department is already a miracle."
"Oh!"
Lin Yinyin nodded, her face brightening again. "Hehe, that’s fine too. Let me tell you, these days without you, Little Yanzi has been keeping me company."
"Little Yanzi?"
Bai Jun paused, then smiled in realization. "You mean Gu Yan? How’s he been?"
"Little Yanzi treats me so well! He always gives me candy."
At the mention of Gu Yan, Lin Yinyin’s face lit up, her eyes sparkling. "Let me show you the new candies he gave me—he said they’re not even on the market yet!"
"They’re super sweet!"
Just as she was about to pull out the candy, Bai Jun stopped her with an exasperated look. "Don’t. This isn’t your home. If the director sees you, you’ll get scolded again."
Lin Yinyin’s face fell. "Oh."
She reluctantly tucked the candy back into her pocket.
On the podium.
Director Long Tianyuan swept his stern gaze across the room and spoke gravely, "Last night’s events are no secret to all of you."
"The Qingfeng Sect of the ancient martial world... was annihilated by the Night King."
"We dispatched specialists to investigate."
"And confirmed... no survivors."
"During the livestream, the Night King refined and devoured the souls of the entire sect for cultivation."
"Such brazen actions..."
Long Tianyuan took a deep breath to steady himself.
In a heavy voice, he continued, "The dead cannot return, and the disciples of the Qingfeng Sect have lost even the chance of reincarnation."
"The Night King has shown us that this treacherous fiend will always lurk in the shadows, waiting to strike!"
"He is a criminal against the world, a vile threat capable of catastrophic destruction."
"I hereby declare: Effective immediately, all personnel must heighten vigilance. The surveillance team is to monitor energy anomalies in real-time!"
"The production division must ramp up output of [Searchlights]—everyone must carry one to identify Night Organization affiliates at a glance!"
"The construction division must accelerate facility upgrades! By the end of this month, all projects must be completed!"
"..."
One directive after another was issued.
The room was deathly silent.
The director... was truly furious this time.
Finally, Long Tianyuan’s tone softened slightly. "There’s one more announcement."
"As we all know, the world recognizes only one cultivation system—martial arts."
"This is a fact acknowledged globally, even in the ancient martial world."
"But now... we’ve discovered a second cultivation system!"
At this, Long Tianyuan’s gaze shifted toward a corridor in the conference hall.
A moment later, a figure slowly came into view.
Her steps were light and graceful, as if she tread on invisible clouds—less like walking and more like floating.
Her tall, slender frame stood proud like a solitary snow pine, regal yet graceful.
Her face was serene, cold as the autumn moon, distant and untouchable.
Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, shimmering faintly as it swayed with her movements.
Her eyes were closed, her expression tranquil, her aura icy.
Her presence silenced the room.
The audience was spellbound, their breaths caught in their throats.
Their eyes followed her as if drawn by an invisible force.
Who... was this?
"Leng Qingqiu!!"
"Why is Leng Qingqiu here?"
"The Leng Family’s eldest daughter, once the top divine maiden, after her family was..."
"Hey! Shut up about that here!"
Bai Jun’s eyes widened. Wait—
Why was Gu Yan’s lover at headquarters?!
Beside him, Lin Yinyin swung her legs cheerfully and called out, "Sister Qingqiu!!"
??
Bai Jun shot her a look.
Sister Qingqiu??
You’re old enough to be her great-grandmother!
The name "Leng Qingqiu" echoed in everyone’s minds, as chilling and unforgettable as her presence.
Her arrival didn’t just shift the atmosphere—it delivered an unprecedented shock.
Because...
Hum! Hum! Hum!
As Leng Qingqiu hovered near the podium...
Ten radiant, translucent blades of light materialized behind her!!
Even from their seats, the audience could feel the terrifying power emanating from them.
What... kind of technique was this?!
Long Tianyuan, seeing the crowd’s attention fully captured, declared solemnly, "Everyone, I announce this now."
"Leng Qingqiu will join the Martial Arts Department as the founder of humanity’s second cultivation system!"
"This system is called..."
"Spiritual Master!!"
"A path that relies purely on psychic energy to launch soul-based attacks!"
"This... is the natural counter to the Night King!!"
BOOM!!!
The words struck like thunder.
Spiritual Master?!!
Gasps of shock filled the hall.
Everyone stared at Leng Qingqiu in shock.
The Divine Maiden... actually founded a second system?!
She comes out of seclusion and drops a bombshell like this?!
Wait, isn’t Leng Qingqiu Young Master Gu Yan’s girlfriend?
Weren’t they just dating? And all this time, she was secretly establishing her own sect?!
The next moment.
Leng Qingqiu slowly opened her eyes.
Hum!!!
Her eyes were no longer empty and lifeless—instead, they gleamed with a pure, radiant white light!
And when the crowd caught even a glimpse of her gaze, they suddenly felt a sharp, stabbing pain in their minds.
This was just from a passing glance.
Countless faces paled as people hurriedly averted their eyes.
So this was...
A mental attack?!
Long Tianyuan declared proudly, "From today onward,"
"Leng Qingqiu will be the head of the Martial Arts Department’s Sword Holding Division. She will personally select talented individuals to join its ranks."
"Psychics will be our ultimate weapon against the Night King!"
"Meeting adjourned!"

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!
ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
