Chapter 62 – Final Score
*PA* *PA* *PA*
It had been 2 days and 23 hours since all test-takers had entered the monster realm. However, inside the underground mine, an oni and a human were having fun.
"YES! GRIND IT! HARDER!"
"You naughty oni. You'll be pregnant at this rate."
"It doesn't matter. You'll have to marry me regardless. Having a child will solidify our clan relationship!"
For the first time, Xu Miao encountered a woman who was immune to the system's brainwashing effect. Despite being in ecstasy because of the system yin essence and Xu Miao's bodily fluid, Wei Yuan didn't lose herself and her conscience.
Orc King Sutras backfired. Instead of suppressing Wei Yuan, the skill effect made her excited, and she pestered him for more seeds.
Xu Miao didn't know if he sucked or the oni race had the natural resistance against the dual-cultivation skill. Nonetheless, he profited a lot by having her as his partner.
<<Ding>>
<<You can dual-cultivate with Wei Yuan 240 more times today.>>
It was impossible to break Wei Yuan's mind. Thus, Xu Miao only concentrated on farming yang essence, so he could buy more items from the system.

Xu Miao stopped counting how many times he pumped his semen into Wei Yuan's womb when it hit the 200th time. His entire day was spent having sex. Averagely, he fired his seeds once every five minutes.
20 Hours of the sex-marathon was enough for Xu Miao and Wei Yuan to study each other's weaknesses and the sensitive spots. They had a lot of fun exploring the bodies of their partners.
After the 280th session, Xu Miao stopped reciting the sutras because of the mental exhaustion. His muscular rooster shrunk and turned into a tiny chick.
"I'm tired. Let me rest. I want to sleep. I haven't eaten anything for half a day now."
Wei Yuan scoffed, "Weakling! You're supposed to take the lead and make me exhausted!"
"Spare me, please. I'm done. That's my limit."
"Don't you have a healing pill?"
"No."
"Even in the ring?"
"There is no medicinal pill inside the rings. I only have treasures, but no pill."
"Hmm."
Wei Yuan grinned. She knew that Xu Miao could still continue had he used his body strengthening technique, so she activated hers.
*BOOM*
Wei Yuan's physical strength soared, and she placed her hand on his stomach, preparing to activate her personal technique.
"If you don't use your strengthening technique, I'll force you to use it."
"What are you going to do with that? Kill me?" Xu Miao laughed.
"Nope. It's the opposite," Wei Yuan giggled and activated her oni clan's secret skill.
Oni Corruption!
It was a racial technique that all onis could use. By injecting their demonic Qi into their target's dantian, the victim would act according to their inner desire. Also, if the target was weaker than the user, the victim might become the caster's slave for a certain period.
The skill was effective. Xu Miao's eyes were bloodshot, and his tiny chick transformed into a super rooster. He activated his body strengthening technique and recited orc king sutras again. He also seized Wei Yuan's waist, pounding his rooster into the glory hole as if his life was depending on it.
"Hahaha! That's the way to do it, my husband! Come on, harder! Deeper!"
The dual cultivation marathon continued.

*WHOOSH*
*WHOOSH*
The 3 long days were over. Surviving test-takers returned to their world with joy as most of them obtained valuable items, monster cores, spirit herbs, or lost treasures of various demon races.
Xie Tian, Nie Ping, and Wei Feng made it back in one piece after they had fought. Xie Tian managed to rescue silver phoenix disciples, and he stayed put until the end of the test.
Kang Yan and Qing Zhong managed to get back unharmed. However, the center of attention was on a couple of individuals.
The center of attention was none other than Xu Miao and Wei Yuan. Both perverts came back with their untidied clothes. They had too much fun during the last day, and they forgot about the time. When the return-teleportation was about to activate, they were still having sex. It took them less than 10 seconds to put on their clothes, but they couldn't put on everything.
Xu Miao was still groggy because of Wei Yuan's corruption skill effect, but he managed to control his body somewhat.
Wei Yuan also had some difficulty standing straight. Her legs and her hips lost strength because of the long sex, and some juices were leaking from her lower mouth, wetting her thighs and her robes.
The talking sword, Killer Queen, managed to find a suitable sheath and tagged along with them. She disguised as an ordinary katana, hanging behind Xu Miao's back. Unlike the usual her in the underground mine, she stopped talking and observing the surroundings in curious.
KQ was so happy that she managed to return to civilization. With patience, she waited for a chance to kill somebody or eat more energy.
When the male spectators noticed Xu Miao and Wei Yuan's condition, they covered their crotch area, hiding their boners. Girls also blushed as they imagined themselves being in Wei Yuan's shoes.
Jia Shan glared at four troublemakers, Xie Tian, Wei Feng, Wei Yuan, and Xu Miao. He harrumphed and announced the result.
"The 3-day trial is over. All points will be calculated after all of you present your items to our sects. One monster core is 10 points. A low-grade item is 1,000 points. A skill manual's worth depends on its quality. Every resource that you've acquired from that world can be exchanged for your final score. I will remind you again, there are unique prizes for top rankers, including the right to become one of the elders' legacy disciple. Be sure to contribute your items to the sects to gain a better score!"
It was direct extortion for bribery. The items that test-takers had acquired from the monster world could benefit both sects since they were the lost items of the lost demon clans.
This was also a hidden trial to test the candidates' loyalty. If someone were to give them everything they had, these elders would prioritize nurturing them in return, rewarding their obedience and loyalty.
However, backstabbers, murderers, cheapskates, and liars would be marked as untrustworthy disciples. The sect's support would be given to others instead of these candidates.
Jia Shan and Xu Xiuying stood before two pedestals, which was supporting empty plates that test-takers could place their items on them to receive the bonus score. Each of them represented their sect. Any disciple could contribute their items to them to earn their favor.
The bribery ceremony started. Qing Zhong stepped up first. He presented 35 monster cores and an ancient scroll on the plate in front of Jia Shan.
The sect master inspected the scroll and announced, "Qing Zhong, you've contributed a low-grade demon technique. You'll be given 1,350 points for your contribution!"
Qing Zhong's score appeared on the leaderboard, 2,015 points.
Kang Yan was next. She presented 50 monster cores and a bundle of strange herbs on Xu Xiuying's plate.
The succubus announced, "You've contributed 5 blood-sucking herbs and 50 monster cores. I'll give you 3,000 points."
King Yan's final score increased to 5,019 points, which surpassed everybody's score except Xie Tian and Wei Feng.
Many candidates submitted their items, but most of them kept a few low-grade magic weapons to themselves. The value of these items could change the status of their families from a no-name commoner family to a small noble clan, so these youngsters chose to hand them to their guardians instead.
While everybody was busy trying to get on Jia Shan or Xu Xiuying's good side, Xie Tian, Wei Yuan, Wei Feng, and Xu Miao didn't move. They glanced at the leaderboard, waiting for the scores to settle down.
After everybody but the four cunning foxes gave their items to the two masters, the leaderboard didn't change much.

Xu Miao, Xie Tian, Wei Feng, and Wei Yuan's score was high enough to be in the leader board without contributing anything.
Wei Yuan earned her points by killing monster beasts and a test-taker, but the majority of her scores came from cultivating under a beacon light.
Wei Feng, Nie Ping, and Xie Tian obtained points by a more sinister mean. All of their scores came from killing fellow test-takers. Wei Feng and Nie Ping killed weaker cultivators, while Xie Tian stole some of them from Wei Feng's goons.
As for Xu Miao, he didn't get many chances to kill many test-takers. His final score was only 2,500 after he burned the dead forest and ents to charcoal.
When Xu Xiuying and Jia Shan looked at them, waiting for these troublemakers to make their choices, Wei Yuan chose to move first. She walked toward Jia Shan and gave him a medium-grade weapon, a red naginata, which Killer Queen had given to her as a gift. It was one of many good weapons that she had obtained from KQ, but this one was the weakest weapon.
Jia Shan nodded at Wei Yuan in approval. He inspected the weapon in admiration.
"This is an ancient weapon from a lost demon clan. Its power has diminished because it wasn't properly maintained, but it can be restored to a high-grade weapon! Wei Yuan, your contribution is enormous. I'll bestow you 10,000 points for this contribution!"
The crowd was astonished. From the onlooker's perspective, the red naginata looked like a rusty glaive with no value, but Jia Shan evaluated it highly. With this additional score, Wei Yuan took over the first place in the ranking.
Jia Shan knew that Wei Yuan had obtained many valuable items, but he didn't pursue the matter. By having a medium-grade weapon that could be upgraded to the higher level was enough.
Wei Yuan grinned. She turned around and winked at Xu Miao, telling him that she had just won.
Wei Feng glared at his little sister in envy. He had many things to contribute, but he refused to give them back to the sect. He simply stepped forward and handed over common monster cores to Jia Shan.
Looking at the 50 monster cores on the plate in front of him, Jia Shan scoffed, "500 points. Next!"
Wei Feng shrugged. He didn't care if his score was lower than others since his sister already got the top rank.
Now, only Xie Tian and Xu Miao remained.
Xie Tian glanced at Xu Miao. Both men's eyes met.
Xie Tian nodded at his "friend" and walked toward Xu Xiuying first.

บท 63: Bribing Jia Shan
Chapter 63 – Bribing Jia Shan
Xie Tian revealed his spatial ring, which he had obtained from a dead demon. He unloaded a pile of common weapons unto the ground before Xu Xiuying.
A total of 34 common steel katanas, 72 naginata, 57 composite bows, and 34 sets of samurai armors piled into a mountain.
Xu Xiuying frowned as the quality of these weapons and armors was subpar. None of them was a low-grade magic item.
Then, Xie Tian walked to another empty spot and unloaded more items. This time, 20 chests of jewelry, gold bars, and trinkets came out from Xie Tian's spatial ring.
"How much will I get for these?"
Xie Tian didn't share a single low-grade weapon or a technique manual. Yet, he had the galls to request for points by giving Xu Xiuying trash items.
Xu Xiuying wanted to scold Xie Tian for being cheeky. Yet, she kept her mouth shut as she planned to brainwash him into her pet.
"Common weapons and items will be evaluated by their value. A thousand gold coins are equal to one point…"
It took a while for the silver phoenix sect's disciples to inspect all items and evaluated the total value in a commoner's currency. In the end, the wealth that Xie Tian contributed was worth 1,357,892 gold coins. Therefore, he acquired 1,358 points.
"Anything else," Xu Xiuying asked if Xie Tian wanted to compete for the first rank. As of now, his score was not enough to surpass Wei Yuan. He needed 4,641 more points to tie with her.
Xie Tian sighed as if he was unwilling to part with his items. Still, he placed five low-grade rusty weapons on Xu Xiuying's tray. They were all daggers, which he had obtained from a ruin inside the monster realm.
"Are these enough?"
Xu Xiuying glanced at the magic weapons and laughed, "You should have done that from the very beginning, crafty boy. You get 5,000 more points."
The leaderboard changed after Xie Tian decided to compete with Wei Yuan.

1. Xie Tian – 13,450

With the changes, Xie Tian seemed to secure the first rank. Test-takers and spectators stared at him in admiration and awe, but some disciples from the mountain goose sect glared at him with hatred. Several inner disciples, who hadn't revealed their skills, also marked this protagonist as one of their hit lists.
Meanwhile, the wild card of this event stared at the leaderboard, wondering if he should snatch the first prizes from Xie Tian.
'The prize is only 100 refined stones and a low-grade weapon. What's the point of fighting over those items by giving away more valuable items? Why should I give them something worth more than the prizes?'
Xu Miao looked at Xu Xiuying, who stared back at him, hinting him that he had to win this round.
'Xu Xiuying tempted me that I can fuck her, but I won't bite the bait. Why should I risk myself getting brainwashed?'
Xu Miao glanced at Xie Tian, analyzing his character.
'Side characters rarely tried to get stronger than the protagonists unless they could change their roles to antagonists or MC's rivals. If I take over his prizes, he might be wary of me. But if I don't take over the spotlight, Xie Tian will win favor from all powerhouses and strengthen his plot armor. I need to turn his potential allies as my friends before he can expand his influence. First…
While Xu Miao's brain didn't stop working, his legs brought him toward Jia Shan instead of Xu Xiuying. He smiled at the sect master as he cupped his fist.
"This junior wishes to contribute something."
Jia Shan and Xu Xiuying looked bemused, questioning why Xu Miao chose to contribute to the mountain goose sect instead of his mother's sect. They peered at each other, doubting their motives.
Normally, candidates who wanted to get into the mountain goose sect would only contribute to Jia Shan. As for female cultivators, they always gave their items to Xu Xiuying, trying to win her favor and get her approval to join her sect.
In other words, the people that candidates decided to donate their items would affect the sect that they would join.
In this case, Xu Miao, who should have only given his items to Xu Xiuying, decided to contribute to the mountain goose's side instead. His action alone implied many meanings, such as a betrayal, a provocation, a taunting, or other hidden implications.
Xu Miao chose to give his items to Jia Shan for a reason. He wanted to be on a good term with this sect master, so he could use the old man in the future. As for the silver phoenix sect, he could just donate some of his items to Long Meifang or Qi Hong to exchange for contribution points, which would be a wiser investment option.
Two worn-out medium-grade short swords were placed on Jia Shan's tray. They were a shorter version of katanas, aka kodachi, which was normally used as secondary weapons, but they were made from demon ores. Xu Miao got these items from one of the spatial rings, which he had looted from the sealed box.
Jia Shan nodded and grinned as if he understood what Xu Miao was trying to do. He turned to Xu Xiuying and laughed, "Your son is admirable and sensible. You have raised him well, Xu Xiuying!"
Xu Xiuying's face twitched in annoyance. Yet, she only nodded in acknowledgment, "That's for certain. If he couldn't do that much, I would have expelled him from my sect long ago."
"That's too harsh. You know, I don't mind if he joins my sect. It would be a pity to lose someone as filial as him," Jia Shan hinted Xu Miao that he could seek the sect master if he got into trouble.
Xu Miao smiled and bowed to Jia Shan again. His bribery tokens worked as planned. And now, he obtained a connection with the mountain goose sect.
"Thank you, senior. I'll keep that in mind."
"Your items can be polished and upgraded to high-ranked magic weapons. All of them are worth 20,000 points!"
Jia Shan purposely raised his voice, so everybody could hear it. He also updated the leaderboard.
In an instant, Xu Miao's total score shot up from 2,500 to 22,500, which secured the first place of the overall ranking.
While Xu Miao was admiring his name in the leaderboard, Jia Shan sent him a telepathic voice into his mind.
[I don't know what you're planning by giving my sect these precious weapons. But if you ever run into trouble, you can reach out to me. I'll do my best to help you.]
Xu Miao widened his eyes and turned to Jia Shan, but the old man already looked away and walked toward Xu Xiuying, discussing the event rewards and the last event.
The plan for spreading his network worked well. Xu Miao obtained one more potential ally to be used against Xu Xiuying and Xie Tian. However, to get Jia Shan to do his bidding, he required a firmer relationship.
That was when the Wei Clan and their influence in the mountain goose sect came to play. Xu Miao wanted to tie his connection through the bond with the Wei Clan. Once he married Wei Yuan, manipulating the mountain goose sect would be easier.
'I got Jia Shan's favor, and I fucked Wei Yuan. From what I heard from Xu Xiuying and Qi Hong, Wei Yuan has another brother inside the mountain goose sect, and he's a big shot. Now, all lurking villains inside the mountain goose sect should have become my allies by default. Wei Yuan should also be spreading words about my deeds and the items I have to Wei Huang. Now, I just need to have a few words with my soon-to-be grandpa...'
Unbeknownst to Xu Miao, Xie Tian had already offended many people because of his protagonist's trait. Most of the mountain goose disciples already wanted Xie Tian dead. At the same time, Xie Tian already earned favors from Kang Yan and many female disciples.
Without Xu Miao's intervention, Xie Tian already made enemies everywhere. However, Xu Miao's actions still contributed to the development and would trigger more chaos, which would affect the entire province soon.
.
.
.
On the mountain goose VIP stand, ten inner disciples were watching the show with interest. When Xu Miao stole the first place by giving their sect master two potential high-grade weapons, these elite disciples admired him.
"That Xu Miao isn't half bad."
"True. I like him. He's a funny guy."
"Funny? It's more like [Crafty]. He downright bribed our sect master."
"Hah! For whatever reason, two high-grade weapons are no joke. He's sincere, so we should be good to him in the future. After all, he will be our senior's brother-in-law soon."
Nine inner disciples glanced at a young man with long red hair and red eyes. The red-haired man was donned in red and gold plate armor as if he was a general of an army. His tall and toned stature couldn't hide under the medium-grade armor as they increased his bulkiness.
Wei Xiang, the elder brother of Wei Feng, had been observing Xu Miao's action after the latter had tried to harm Wei Yuan.
Wei Xiang was surprised and annoyed when his little sister reunited with Xu Miao at the underground mine and ended up becoming husband-and-wife there. It was too sudden and abrupt. Yet, he couldn't find fault with Xu Miao after seeing how his sister subtly interacted with her lover on the stage.
Wei Yuan seemed happy, and Wei Xiang didn't want to ruin his sister's happy love life.
Although Wei Xiang hadn't approved Xu Miao yet, he warned his subordinates. As the number one inner disciple of the mountain goose sect, he could command all juniors and outer disciples.
"Xu Miao is my brother-in-law. Don't offend or provoke him. Treat him as if you guys are treating me."
The nine inner disciples acknowledged the command. They gazed at Wei Yuan and Xu Miao in admiration.
"I guess a grand wedding is on the way."
"Right. The Wei Clan and the Xu Clan will become one. That's an auspicious sign."
Wei Xiang shook his head, rejecting his friends' comment, "Not yet. We have an issue to deal with," he glared at Xie Tian, "We need to avenge for our brothers first. I'll kill Xie Tian during the last event challenge!"
.
.
.
Meanwhile, Wei Huang was worried about his granddaughter. He talked to her in private after Xu Miao had obtained his score.
"Yuan'er, did he hurt you?"
Wei Yuan giggled, "No. Grandfather, you should prepare for my wedding soon."
"You… Do you really like him?"
"Of course. He's a rare find. If he's my dao partner, I can cultivate THAT yin art."
"What yin art?"
"THAT one. The one that you've been trying to find a compatible user for years!"
"What!? But that art requires yin essence. You haven't even reached the 4th stage…"
"I've already obtained many drops of essence. Let me explain…"
While everybody's attention was on Xu Miao, Wei Yuan revealed her husband's secret as a dual cultivator and his pseudo demonic abilities.
After hearing everything, Wei Huang's eyes gleamed as he gazed at Xu Miao's direction.
Wei Yuan reminded her grandfather, "I've sacrificed my purity to get him to our side. Don't disappoint me, grandfather."
"I know… So, is my grandson-in-law a human or a demon?"
"I can't determine, but most of his techniques are from demon clans. We can assume that he's a demon, but he doesn't know which race he belongs to."
"Good. You don't have to worry. After today, I'll talk to Xu Xiuying after this and get an auspicious day for your wedding."
"Thanks, grandpa. Oh, by the way…"
"What is it?"
"Do you have a skill that can check if I'm pregnant or not? I think we overdid it."
"…"
Wei Huang's smiling face froze. He turned into a stone.
