Chapter 43 – Sparked Rivalry (4)
*PA* *PA* *PA*
In the Xu Clan's private restroom, Miaomiao was busy pumping baby seeds into Jiang Lan's belly.
During sex was the only time that Jiang Lan acted like a human. She panted and moved her hips according to Miaomiao's pace while she wrapped her arms behind his neck.
*Bzz* *Bzz*
While Miaomiao was about to finish his second session, his J-Phone vibrated.
Although getting interrupted was annoying, Miaomiao picked the phone. The caller was Xu Xiuying.
"Yes?"
"Where are you right now?"
"Toilet…"
*PA* *PA* *PA*
As Miaomiao was answering the phone, his hips didn't stop moving. Jiang Lan also moaned and panted along with the rhythm.
"Xu Miao, are you having sex in the toilet?"
"Ah, yes. Is there anything urgent? Oh, does someone have diarrhea?"
"No. Stop fucking for a second. It's loud!"
Miaomiao stopped moving his hips, but Jiang Lan didn't. The sultry sound continued, but it wasn't as loud as before.
"Okay, is it better?"
"I'll get to the point. Can you give Jiang Lan to someone else?"
"Pardon?"
"A talented cultivator is demanding Jiang Lan as compensation for joining our clan. I need that man to join us."
Miaomiao got more annoyed after Xu Xiuying demanded Jiang Lan. She might no longer be his favorite girl, but she was still his personal Yang Essence factory. He didn't want to cast away his sex slave.
"Can I refuse?"
"Remember the score you have?"
"Yeah, What about it? I should have gotten the top score, right?"
"You could have."
"Could have?"
"That man has gotten the perfect score. His foundation is stronger than you."
"…"
Miaomiao's face turned solemn. He had a bad feeling about this.
Xu Xiuying continued yelling, "I'm thinking of giving Jiang Lan to that man. You already have like 300 wives back home. Why don't you give that mindless doll of yours to the other, so you can spend more time with sane women?"
"That depends. What's that man's name?"
"Xie Tian. Oh, by the way, he's also a disciple of my spy."
"…"
"If you're worried about your position in the sect, you don't need to be afraid that you'll lose anything. I won't accept that man into the Silver Phoenix Sect, but I'll use him as another spy in the Mountain Goose Sect. He won't steal your other wives."
"Let me finish this session first, and we'll talk."
"Listen here, you little shit. Get your ass over here in 10 minutes, or I'll castrate you! Bring Jiang Lan with you. I'm giving her to that man!"
Xu Xiuying hung up the phone.
Miaomiao's boner was killed. He didn't like it when someone wanted to steal his belonging, especially the toy that he had trained so hard. However, it was a direct order from his boss, so he had to comply.
What ruined his mood wasn't Xu Xiuying's order, but it was the existence of something that could be stronger than his cheat and his hard work.
'The only one that can outperform me is a protagonist. Does he really appear?'
Miaomiao stared at Jiang Lan, who still had a look of ecstasy on her face.
This was a normal reaction. A Yin Cauldron's greatest happiness was when she had sex with her master.
Staring at Jiang Lan's lewd expression for a while, Miaomiao had a bad feeling about the entire situation. His instinct was tingling that he had seen something similar, but he couldn't recall it or pinpoint it.
'I have a déjà vu. I know something about Xie Tian, but at the same time, I have no idea about him. Say, system, can you tell me if Xie Tian really is a protagonist?'
<<Insufficient information. Please locate this person.>>
The system wasn't cooperative. Miaomiao had no choice but to return to Xu Xiuying with this sex doll.
.
.

= Meanwhile =
"Well? Why are you taking so long?"
Xie Tian was annoyed that the Xu Clan's scout couldn't guarantee that they would give him Jiang Lan.
The scout tried his best to delay his answer, but Xie Tian wasn't a patient man. He wanted to see Jiang Lan as soon as possible.
"Please give me a moment. I'm contacting my boss to bring the girl to you. Would you like to visit our spectator stand and wait for your girl over there first?"
Xie Tian glanced at the VIP stand where Miaomiao's seat was. When he recalled that Jiang Lan had married to power, Xie Tian changed his mind, "You know what. I've changed my mind. I'm sorry, but I won't be joining your clan."
"But why!? You'll get so much more support from the Xu Clan! You're here to join a sect to get stronger, right? We're here to sponsor you, but all you need to do is to join our clan."
"No. I don't like being tied with a clan or what-so-ever. I like being free."
"Umm, then why are you participating in this event, then? Aren't you trying to join a sect?"
"I'm only here to meet Jiang Lan and her husband. If they're not available, I'll just meet them by going through these stupid exams."
"…"
Xie Tian had learned the identity of Jiang Lan's husband through Luo Cheng. When he heard that his crush had become Xu Miao's wife, Xie Tian couldn't sleep soundly. He wanted to know what kind of person Xu Miao was, and he wanted to talk to Jiang Lan, asking for a second chance.
If Xu Miao was a good man, then Xie Tian might congratulate Jiang Lan and bless her. Better, if Xie Tian could persuade Jiang Lan to return with him, he would gladly forgive her and return home together.
Unfortunately, Xu Miao's fame wasn't favorable. He was known to be a wastrel that had sex all day, and he already had over 300 wives. He didn't like it that Jiang Lan married to this young master.
Still, when Xie Tian's witnessed Miaomiao's test result, he couldn't help but respect the latter's talent. Xie Tian couldn't figure Miaomiao's character anymore. Therefore, the only way to understand Miaomiao was to confront him and talk to him.
Xie Tian turned around and returned to his reserved seat at the back, waiting for the next examination round.
Just like other MCs in many novels, Xie Tian offended Xu Xiuying by declining her invitation. When she heard that Xie Tian changed his mind, Xu Xiuying sent an order to Luo Cheng right away to give this young man the last chance.
If Luo Cheng failed to persuade Xie Tian to join their clan, Xu Xiuying would send someone to kill him. After all, if he could not be her ally, he could only be her enemy.
.
.
.
Five minutes later, Miaomiao and Jiang Lan returned to their VIP stand. However, Xu Xiuying wasn't in a good mood. Even Qi Hong and Qi Ning weren't happy.
"You're late, young master Xu," Qi Hong sighed.
"What did I do this time?"
"That Xie Tian has declined our offers. We told him that we would give him Jiang Lan, but he got angry and chased our scouts away."
"The hell? And here I am resolving myself to sacrifice my precious concubine for the clan, why did he do that?"
"We have no idea either. Well, it's not like he has joined any family or clan. We can coax him through Luo Cheng later."
Miaomiao exhaled, relieved by the news. Fortunately, this man seemed to be the aloof type that refused to be bound with any organization for a long time.
"Where is he right now?"
Qi Hong shook her head, "No idea. Probably somewhere among the crowd."
"Can you locate him?"
"I can, but I won't."
"Why?"
"That isn't necessary. Do you remember what I've told you? That man's mentor is a spy from our clan. Leave the matter to Luo Cheng. You should focus on resting. The next exam will start at night."
Without a choice, Miaomiao gave up trying to find the protagonist. He stayed with everybody else and watched the boring examination until nightfall.
Unbeknownst to Miaomiao, Xu Xiuying and other elders plotted to kill Xie Tian. If Luo Cheng couldn't convince the young man, they would send assassins to kill him right away to take out a potential rival.
…
= Night Time =
At 9PM, the last examinee took the test. No more cultivator tried their luck.
Jia Shan, Jian Meng, and Xu Xiuying announced that the first exam was over. The next trial would begin at midnight as the sects required time for the preparation.
Yet, prominent families didn't leave the exam ground. They camped there to reserve their spots as they wanted the best location to watch the show.
Many failed candidates returned home or got back to their hotels. However, some of them stayed behind, occupying their previous camping spots, and waiting to observe the next event.
On the stage, Mountain Goose's disciples carried several magic tools down the mountain. They placed it on the stage before they excused themselves. The preparation for the next tests was underway.
As for Miaomiao, he also stayed behind. Xu Xiuying forced him and every participating disciple to remain on the site, so nobody could return home to get a good sleep. Miaomiao, Kang Yan, and other disciples had to sit cross-legged and meditate or rest while they were waiting.
Having nothing to do, Miaomiao decided to take a short nap instead of sitting and meditating like the other disciples.
As soon as Qi Hong and everybody else noticed how lazy Miaomiao was, they had a complicated expression on their faces. None of them could understand how Miaomiao got stronger despite being this lazy.
Nobody knew. Every hour that Miaomiao rested translated into 5 hours of training or additional sleeping time.
…
= Midnight =
Mountain Goose disciples hit their drums, signaling the start of the next trial. All resting candidates stopped meditating and gazed at the square stage, looking forward to the next exam.
Jian Meng announced, "The next trial will test the candidates' character. All candidates must sit on the stage and meditate. Then, we will transfer their consciences into illusion realms. They shall face their heart devils reveal their hidden desire. Only morally upright and strong-willed candidates can pass this exam! The passing score for this test is 100! The longer the candidates survive against their heart devil, the higher the score. If they can defeat their heart devils, bonus points will be added to their scores!"
In other words, all candidates' souls would be transported to a strange dimension, and they would be forced to challenge the illusion of their heart devils. Should they have evil intent or motive, these candidates wouldn't be able to return to their bodies, which usually resulted in death.
The second trial was a dangerous test with a 20% mortality rate, which was used to filter out evil cultivators. It also weeded out weak-willed candidates who were not ready to join their sects.
"All top outer disciples, step on the stage and show everyone how you pass the test!"
Again, Mountain Goose and Silver Phoenix Sect had a customary to show off the abilities of their disciples and competed against each other.
Miaomiao slowly opened his eyes after he had been nudged a dozen times by other outer disciples. After sleeping for 3 hours, he had rested over 12 hours in Isolation Space. As for the remaining 3 hours, Miaomiao spent the time ravishing weak female cultivators with 1% difficulty, relaxing his psyche.
When Miaomiao heard that this exam would test his character and his desire, he sweated bullets.
'Oh, shit. Do I really have to face my heart devils? Will they broadcast what I see in that realm? Wait, what's my heart devil? What will show up?'

Chapter 44 – Annual Examination (4)
Everyone got on the stage and entered their respective arrays.
20 Disciples from both sects sat cross-legged on the prepared arrays and closed their eyes. As soon as their eyes closed, they found themselves sitting in a strange empty room.
Miaomiao opened his eyes and looked around. The other 19 disciples had disappeared, leaving him alone in this familiar room. When he looked around and realized where he was, Miaomiao laughed.
"Are you kidding me? Am I supposed to take the test here? Am I supposed to face my fear or whatever illusion here? Really?"
This place was an isolation space that he always visited at night, but the size and color were a bit different.
Unlike his own space where he always entered there naked, Miaomiao arrived here with his clothes, armor, but his spatial ring and weapons didn't come with him.
<<Ding>>
<<You have entered an unknown Isolation Training Space.>>
<<Scanning the space…>>
<<Auto-resurrection function has been detected. You will be resurrected in the real world upon death.>>
<<Warning, auto self-heal function, respawn function, and debug functions are disabled.>>
<<Warning, everything you do here will be broadcasted to the real world.>>
<<Warning, all training progress here will not be carried to the real world.>>
When Miaomiao heard that he could not exploit the self-heal functions, his face turned dark. He circulated his Qi and activated his body enhancement skill right away, preparing for whatever this realm would summon to challenge him.
Demonic Body Strengthening!
Miaomiao's reflex speed and his strength increased. He reached the same state as when he fought 10 thugs in the bar.
*WHOOM*
Something was summoned into the room as Miaomiao had expected. However, as soon as the being appeared, Miaomiao almost screamed in shock.
It was the naked clone of Xu Xiuying! The heart devil that Miaomiao had was unexpectedly the clone that murdered him 100 times in a row.
"Oh, shit. Not her!"
Learning from his mistakes, Miaomiao didn't listen to his rooster. He took a fighting stance and prepared for battle
"Come here, son. Let me hug you."
The clone didn't attack him right away, but she seduced him. The jiggling and bouncing white breasts attracted Miaomiao's eyes for a moment, but he didn't fall for it this time.
'Too bad, stupid clone. I've banged over 300 women, and I have enough sex partners. I don't need you in my harem!'
Upon seeing that Miaomiao wasn't affected by her seduction, the clone's face changed. She pointed her finger at him and started using her Yin techniques.
"!!!"
Miaomiao kicked the ground and ran away from Xu Xiuying.
*BOOM*
A large boulder dropped on the place that Miaomiao had stood. Several ice spikes extended from the ground, chasing after him.
Seeing the chasing spikes, Miaomiao increased his speed.
As Miaomiao kept the distance from the clone's attacks, he circled around her, avoiding the ice spikes while trying to find an opening. At the same time, he circulated his Qi into his right palm, getting ready to counterattack.
But the clone suddenly kicked the ground and chased after him. She also pointed her right index finger at his face.
"Not again!"
Miaomiao canceled his skill and summoned an ice shield, using 1,000 strands of Yin Qi.
Ten ice bullets were fired from Xu Xiuying's finger and rained upon the ice shield. When the 11th bullet hit the shield, it broke into fragments.
As expected, the firepower of a 6th stage cultivator overwhelmed Miaomiao.
But Miaomiao's left hand had finished conjuring another technique. He waved his left arm and tossed something toward Xu Xiuying, who had already got close to Miaomiao.
It was one of the most dangerous skills that he had, the Yang Flame. Just by activating this skill, Miaomiao's left hand was scorched. No skin was left on his left hand, leaving only cooked red layers of the inner flesh.
Miaomiao's circulated Qi in his legs burst, enhancing his legs to the limit. He kicked the ground again and ran away as fast as possible.
The flame grenade flashed and detonated in front of the clone.
Miaomiao shouted and activated another skill, Qi Barrier, using 2,000 strands of Yang Qi. A semi-transparent orange dome covered his body. That was not all. Miaomiao sacrificed 1,000 strands of Yin Qi to create another layer of ice shield to cover his body.
*BOOM*
The Yang Flame Explosion engulfed the entire space, including Miaomiao. The Qi barrier and his ice shield absorbed most of the impact, but he could still feel the heat.
After the detonation, everything fell silent.
Miaomiao survived, but his outer garments and clothes were burnt, leaving only his studded leather armor and white smoke. He coughed several times, exhaling hot air from his lungs.
Even though the detonation consumed Xu Xiuying, Miaomiao didn't let his guard down. He poured more Qi into his bloodstream and got ready for another bout even though his Yin Qi was almost depleted.
The smoke slowly dispersed, revealing the aftermath of the explosion.
A dark silhouette was revealed. Xu Xiuying was still there, standing uninjured. She gave Miaomiao a seductive smile as if he were her ideal man.
"Come here. Let mother hug you."
"Nope!" Miaomiao ran away again.
"Hehe, playing tag? Sure, I'll catch you."
The clone kicked the ground and chased after Miaomiao. Within two seconds, she appeared in front of him.
"Crap!"
"Hehe, I've caught you."
Instead of running away again, Miaomiao resolved himself and lowered his stance. Then, he used his running momentum to tackle her.
Miaomiao seized Xu Xiuying's thighs and pushed her on the ground, MMA double-leg takedown.
'I can win! I just need to cheat!'
Miaomiao gathered his strength in his fist, planning to punch the clone to the face and kill her.
Despite the takedown impact, the clone was unharmed. In fact, she intentionally let herself be taken down. Xu Xiuying's clone giggled and reached her soft hands to touch Miaomiao's chest.
And it wasn't a normal touch.
Supreme Stripper Swordsmanship, Ultimate Art, Sealing Touch!
*BOOM*
Miaomiao's studded leather armor and all hidden weapons were destroyed. His dantian and Qi circulation was also sealed!
Miaomiao's ground-and-pound plan failed!
"I've caught you, my boy."
"Ugh!"
The clone easily flipped Miaomiao's body over, and she rode on his stomach. She lowered her head and licked his face.
"Let mother have a taste of your body. Don't worry, I'll be gentle."
"No, please. Do you know that we're being watched?"
"Don't worry. Showing our affection to the world is something we shouldn't be ashamed of. Let us show them how dual-cultivators make love."
Miaomiao tried to circulate his Qi, but his Qi strands no longer moved. The body-strengthening technique was also canceled. His dantian was locked by a mysterious force that no Qi strand could enter his bloodstream. He tried to use his physical strength and MMA maneuver to break away from Xu Xiuying's grasp, but the clone's strength was too strong.
Xu Xiuying pinned him down with only her left hand. She moved her hips, and her right hand seized his sleeping rooster.
"Wakey, Wakey. It's time for a little fun."
The clone activated another skill, aphrodisiac gas. The stimulating touch and the gas excited Miaomiao's rooster, and it got erected.
Xu Xiuying laughed. She grabbed it and was about to insert it into her lower mouth.
But Miaomiao didn't let himself to be drugged by the gas skill again. He bit the tip of his tongue to stay sober and opened his inventory menu.
Then, he pulled out a magic dadao, which he had obtained as a reward for defeating Qing Yong's clone 100 times!
*SWUA*
While Xu Xiuying was letting her guard down, the magic saber was swung and sliced through her neck. Her head dropped on Miaomiao's chest and rolled on the floor while blood spilled out from the severed part.
The clone's naked body collapsed to the side. For the first time, Miaomiao managed to defeat his nemesis, Xu Xiuying's clone, even though the difficulty was merely only 1%.
Miaomiao sprang himself and got on his feet. He also didn't forget to return the magic weapon into his inventory as he was afraid that many people might notice its origin.
"It's finally over…"
From Miaomiao's perspective, nothing was scarier than dueling a 6th stage master who could kill him in an instant. He kept reminding himself that the clone didn't even use 1% of her true potential, so the real thing should be able to kill him within one breath.
*WHOOM*
Unfortunately, the trial wasn't over yet. Something else was summoned into the room.
It was a 6-wheeled white truck with a barbed bumper. On its windshield, someone had painted a few terrifying words.
Truck-Kun Isekai Service.
"You gotta be kidding me!"
Miaomiao used to have trauma. When he was still in the modern world, he hated trucks.
After Miaomiao had retired from his MMA career, he suffered from an accident when he crossed the road one day.
The truck's driver was a family of a victim, whom Miaomiao had killed in an octagon ring. Trying to avenge for the victim, the speeding truck almost ISEKAIed Miaomiao into a fantasy world, but the latter managed to avoid the fatal injury. However, impact crushed one of his legs, and the doctors had to cut it to save his life.
Miaomiao's secret semiochophobia was kept hidden, but this space suddenly reminded him of his fear.
*HONK*
The truck's front light flashed as if they were its eyes, staring at its prey. The six black tires rotated, generating rubbing noise and driving the truck forward. It only took less than 3 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 200 MPH.
"NOPE! NOPE! NOPE!"
Miaomiao leaped away from the truck's path. Because his Qi was sealed, he couldn't run as fast as before.
*SCREECH*
The truck drifted and turned 180 degrees, facing Miaomiao again.
"Oh, come on! Where is the law of physics!?"
*SCREECH*
Miaomiao kept jumping and leaping away from the truck. However, the truck kept coming back for him.
After a couple of minutes, Miaomiao ran out of breath. He had to do something, or he would be run over soon.
As the truck was running toward Miaomiao, the latter pulled out the magic dadao from his inventory again. He jumped up high so that he could reach the windshield of the truck.
As soon as the truck's windshield almost reached him, Miaomiao mustered his strength and slashed horizontally.
The dadao activated the embedded magic, Wind Slash.
An arc of wind severed the truck horizontally, and it even cut the silhouette of a mysterious driver.
Still, Miaomiao was smashed by the truck's broken windshield. His body entered the truck and landed on the driver's seat. Several bones were broken from the impact.
The truck's driver was dead, but Truck-kun kept racing forward. Soon, it would hit the wall and crush everything inside the truck.
Miaomiao was still inside the truck. Because of the injuries and several cuts from the broken glasses, he couldn't react in time.
Miaomiao closed his eyes, accepting his fate.
Then, the truck slammed onto the space wall, crushing everything inside the front console.
.
.
.
Miaomiao's eyes snapped open. His breathing was ragged while his clothes and armor were drenched in sweat. He was sure that he was crushed to death, but he was still alive, sitting cross-legged on the array platform.
Miaomiao looked around in confusion and shocked. When he turned behind him, he saw Xu Xiuying, standing and looking at his face.
"Ah, err, hi, mom."
"So, I'm your heart devil? You little shit, why was I naked? Why did my illusion try to fuck you?"
Even if Miaomiao knew the answer, he couldn't say it. He could only smile at his foster mother and dodged the question, "I used to have a nightmare that you were one of my wives and you killed me. I never thought that I had to face your illusion there."
Their conversation could be heard to everyone who was observing the examination. Miaomiao hadn't realized it yet that he was the last disciple that broke out from the space.
The only condition to return was simple. One had to be defeated by their fear and died.
Fortunately, the arrays protected every disciple from dying for real. Even if their bodies were chopped into pieces in the space, they would return unharmed.
But this test didn't evaluate examinees by death. The score of the second exam depended on a few factors.
And above Miaomiao's head, his score was shining brightly in the dark sky.
