Villain Cultivator (Web Novel)
chapter-19

The boy rotated the knife grip and held the knife as if it was an ice pick. He stared at Miaomiao with his expressionless face and scuffed toward him, approaching Miaomiao like a modern marine with a combat knife.

Seeing the boy's stance, Miaomiao dashed toward him. As soon as he got in front of the clone, he juked right, using his footwork to get on the boy's left side.

The boy was holding the knife with his right hand. Thus, he couldn't turn around and use it right away.

Still, the beggar reacted to Miaomiao's footwork. He shifted his grip again by holding the knife by the edge. Then, he rotated his shoulders and his arm.

The boy threw the knife at Miaomiao!

"!!!"

Miaomiao raised his arms to block the knife.

*POEK*

The knife lodged into Miaomiao's left forearm. It got stuck into his bone.

Miaomiao ignored the pain and sent a middle-kick. But in this case, his leg went for the boy's head as the latter was short.

*BAM*

The boy guarded the kick with both arms. Because of the difference in weight and size, he staggered but he corrected his footing in an instant.

Miaomiao pulled the knife from his forearm. Blood gushed out from his wound, but he didn't care.

Gripping the knife in reverse in his right hand, Miaomiao's right punch came for the boy's face.

The boy tilted his head and dodged the punch.

But Miaomiao rotated his right wrist and pulled the hand and knife toward himself to his left side as if he was pulling a sickle to cut a stalk of rice.

Yet, the beggar reacted to the move and tilted his body to the side.

The knife grazed the boy's ears, face, and the back of his head. A long 1cm deep wound appeared on the boy's face.

Because of the sudden evasive movement, the boy lost the footing and balance.

Miaomiao pursued. He thrust the knife into the boy's chest.

*SUEK*

The beggar clone couldn't dodge this time. The knife went through his chest and heart, but he didn't die right away.

The boy's left hand grabbed Miaomiao's arm, trying to lock him onto himself. Meanwhile, his right pale hand turned red and swelled.

*SOEK*

The clone's right hand pierced Miaomiao's abdomen. It penetrated into his skin seized the latter's left ribcages, trying to break the bones and yank them out.

"DAFUQ!?"

Miaomiao was confused about how the boy with level 1 strength could stab his body barehanded. Because of the injury and his anger, he pulled the knife and stabbed the clone again.

*SUEK*

*SUEK*

Like a psychopath, he stabbed the clone twenty more times, but the clone had already died after the second stab.

[[Ding]]

[[Congratulations. You have defeated a clone with 200% difficulty setting for the first time!]]

Despite the congratulate message, Miaomiao wasn't proud of that. He lied on the ground and panted in exhaustion while the system healed his wounds.

"I almost died fighting a 6-year-old malnourished beggar! Congratulations, my ass! How did he use a bare hand to stab me!?"

The system replayed the scene when Miaomiao got stabbed. At the last moment, the boy's right hand swelled as he circulated his almost-non-existence qi into it. Then, with the enhanced hand, the clone stabbed Miaomiao with it and depleted the only strand of qi the boy had.

"That… that clone could use qi?"

[[Yes. All sparring partners with 200% difficulty setting can use qi. Even a level 1 muscle tampering realm cultivator can use it.]]

*********************************************

Miaomiao rechecked the boy's status. Betraying his expectation, this beggar's clone didn't even have a cultivation method. Yet, he displayed a fighting style of a seasoned fighter, and he even used qi.

Inspired by the clone, Miaomiao was curious if he could do the same, "System, can I use my qi like that clone?"

[[Yes, by moving raw qi into any part of the body and dissolve it, you can choose one of the two effects. One, you can boost enhance your muscle for 5 seconds. Or two, the dissolved Qi particles will nourish your blood cells, muscle fibers, or inner organs.]]

[[If you pick the first choice, you can display 10 times the strength that you can normally do during the buff period. However, the used qi strand will ruin your muscle tissues, and all muscle fibers in that area will rot after the enhanced duration is over. Therefore, it is considered a suicidal attack, and it isn't listed as a usable skill.]]

The clone's mysterious technique caused self-harm since it destroyed the user's muscle after usage. Thus, the system didn't list it as a learnable skill.

"Ah, too bad," Miaomiao pitied that he wouldn't gain any skill from defeating this beggar child. However, Miaomiao learned a few things by fighting with a sparring partner that was willing to die fighting.

"Again."

Although fighting a weaker foe with no skill might be a waste of time, Miaomiao wanted to train his mind and body from square one. By fighting against a clone with 200% potential, he could learn a few subtle techniques from the A.I. that he wouldn't be able to learn from a normal fight.

Thus, for the rest of the night, Miaomiao spent his times fighting with masters in the disguise of child beggars.

= 5 AM =

Miaomiao opened his bloodshot eyes. It was a long night that he didn't feel like he had rested.

His arms, legs, stomach, and neck were in pain. Again, the DOMS effect lingered, but Miaomiao didn't know if it was because of the Isolation Training or the other day's bar fight.

Miaomiao looked at his sides. Zheng Liqin and Jiang Lan were still asleep on their bed. They didn't have sex last night due to the limitation, and Miaomiao didn't want to break Jiang Lan's mind at the moment.

'I need to heal my body again. This DOMS is killing me.'

While Miaomiao's head was still glued to a pillow, his sore hand opened the system inventory. He took out a healing pill and popped it into his mouth.

The warm pill melted in Miaomiao's stomach and transferred the medicinal effect to his sore muscle. After closing his eyes for ten minutes, all pain and soreness were gone.

Because of the pill effect, his muscular rooster woke up to cock-a-doodle-doo.

"Mmm."

As if Jiang Lan and Zheng Liqin could sense the urge, they turned to Miaomiao, and their hands seized the morning wood.

"Young master. Do you want me to relieve you?""

"Good morning, master."

Looking at these two girls, Miaomiao had a poker face.

'The daily limit should have been reset. Welp, I can always use Yang Essence.'

"Itadakimasu!"

…

= 7 AM =

Miaomiao, Jiang Lan, and Zheng Liqin left their room after satisfying dual cultivating sessions. Again, Miaomiao felt light and refreshed. Even Jiang Lan and Zheng Liqin had smooth and luster skin after the deeds.

The gang walked down the stairs to the tenth floor, where a weekly class would be held today, based on Zheng Liqin's confessed info.

When the group got there, 700 outer disciples and workers from various departments had already gathered there, waiting for their elders to show up.

As soon as these young women spotted Miaomiao, they screamed as if they encountered a Hollywood superstar.

"KYAAAAA!!"

"YOUNG MASTER XU MIAO!!"

Miaomiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was glad that everyone admired him, but their eyes and their intension were threatening. It was as if they were hungry wolves who had found a tasty rooster.

Before the crowd of thirsty thots could reach Miaomiao, Zheng Liqin tramped forward and stood in front of him. With her blank eyes and expressionless face, she summoned an ice wall, which blockaded all oncoming girls.

*BOOM*

"KYA!!"

"B*TCH! GET RID OF YOUR ICE WALL!"

"DISPEL YOUR ICE WALL, OR ELSE!"

The girls were in an uproar, protesting against Zheng Liqin's action. They were jealous that she monopolized the young master to herself. They, too, wanted to get closer to a nobleman from the Xu Clan and raise their status through marriage or sex.

Witnessing the aggressiveness of the fellow disciples and workers, Jiang Lan clung on Miaomiao's robe and hid behind him.

The chaotic protest went on, but Zheng Liqin simply stood there, blocking anyone from reaching Miaomiao and Jiang Lan.

Miaomiao didn't know why Zheng Liqin did that. He asked the system.

'I thought she has become a mindless doll. How come she moves around on her own without my order?'

[[Zheng Liqin's conscience has been corrupted, and her priorities in life have been influenced. Until the effect wears out, she will continue to protect you from potential harm, and she will always be loyal to you. Even if you order her to commit suicide, she will follow your order.]]

[[By the way, if you fill Zheng Liqin's Yin Essence to the maximum value that she could hold in her dantian, the brainwashing effect will be permanent.]]

Reading the reply message, Miaomiao had the urge to corrupt more girls and turn them into living sex doll. However, he was afraid that Xu Xiuying might notice the changes and punish him since she was also a dual cultivation master.

'Not now, boner-kun. It's not the time.'

…

After 30 minutes of chaos, two women in red qipao entered the floor via a portal. They tied their hairs in two buns, the same hairstyle as Chun-Li, but they had the same face.

With 175cm tall, they were taller than most women in the sect. Yet, their eyes were so small that everyone believed they were closed. Their mouth corners curved up, revealing their faint smile.

The twin elders, Qi Hong and Qi Ning, made their appearance. They were supervising elders who managed the outer disciples and the prostitutes in this brothel.

As soon as Miaomiao saw them, he had a chill running down his spine. His instinct cried that one of these elders wanted to kill him. He could sense a vague killing intent and the hostile glare, but Miaomiao wasn't sure which elder wanted him dead.

"That's enough, ladies. Now, E Class members, gather at the west side. All C and D class yin cultivators gather at the east side. We will begin our lecture shortly."

Zheng Liqin dispelled her ice wall and followed Qi Hong to the west area. On the other hand, Jiang Lan looked flustered as she didn't know what school she belonged to. She had no idea which technique that she could learn.

"E1053, follow me to the west zone. You belong to E Class, so you can't learn Virgin Yin techniques."

Jiang Lan bit her lower lip in disappointment.

Seeing that his lovely wife was sad, Miaomiao patted her head, "Go with Liqin. You don't have to worry about anything. If you need a dual-cultivation partner, you have me."

Jiang Lan's face brightened. She nodded and beamed him with a wide smile, "Thank you, young master!"

"Xu Yang! You also belong to the E Class! Get your sorry ass over here!"

Hearing Qi Hong's yell, Miaomiao followed Jiang Lan and Zheng Liqin to the west side.

For the first time, he participated in a cultivation class, a dual cultivation class where prostitutes and many gorgeous girls attended.
