Xing Wenghu was flown via helicopter to the special facility in which all of the contestants for the Cultivator Battle Royale would meet up, It was a special isolated area that was indeed not suspicious whatsoever.
Xing Wenghu was lieing back in his chair for the ride there.
The betrayal of his mother stung, his injuries still hurt from the conflict with Sun Yaozu.
He hadn't know what demonic tricks Sun Yaozu relied upon to gain the upper hand on him, but Xing Wenghu would not stand for this! He was already plotting his revenge against that foul Sun Yaozu bastard. He would break every bone in his body, and slaughter his entire bloodline!
This was a mercy on Xing Wenghu's part, only such a chivalrous and kind protagonist was capable of such divine mercy on his enemies.The balding tall man from earlier was sitting across from him in the helicopter, "So Xing Wenghu. How are you feeling about the Battle Royale?" He asked with curiosity in his voice. He had been sent to several other contestants houses before, and had gotten a unique "glimpse" into their bizarre behaviors.
Xing Wenghu thought carefully on what to say.
"I must make a strong impression, so this man will not forget who I am!"It was vital to always inspire fear and awe into whoever you talked to."This Heavenly King will triumph above all of his obstacles, no matter who they are or what they are!"
He smiled with absolute confidence, the man in front of Xing Wenghu struggling not to cringe.
"Hey Pilot can we move this any faster?" The balding man turned to ask, desperate to escape the lunatic in front of him.
"We have atleast 1 hour until landing."
Much to the chagrin of the balding official, he was stuck dealing with the ramblings of Xing Wenghu about cultivation, daoism and his past life he believes he had.
By the end of it, banging his head on the concrete looked very attractive.
A man could only take so much punishment, he swore upon his ancestors to repent for any grievances he accumulated in a past life.
"What have I done to earn such ire? What gods have I sinned against? I will shave my head and renounce all worlds pleasures, just let me off of this damn helicopter!"As the helicopter landed, the agents led Xing Wenghu into the nearby large and ominous building. It had a clean white sheen to it that almost resembled some sort of testing facility.
After they led Xing Wenghu to a part of the building which contained seemingly all of the contestants, they prepared to dismiss him.
"Well Xing, this is your stop. From here everything will be explained to you."
"No need to waste your energy on goodbyes, for I shall return to you soon!" Xing shouted, making the unlucky agent not paid enough cringe in despair at talking to him.
He currently stood in an area surrounded by several different contestants.
Many of them had come from all over the planet Earth, having received a lucky chance at competing in the Cultivator Battle Royale.
Xing Wenghu noticed a young man who was stuffing himself full of rice patties, and found him very familiar to a man he had seen in his delusional past life.
He ran up to him, shouting his name. "Fatty Wei! Is that really you!?"
On front of Xing Wenghu stood a rather portly young man that he believed to be named Fatty Wei, a reliable ally and close friend of his in his past Heavenly King life.
Fatty Wei was famous for getting more powerful the more he ate. By shedding the fat into his dan tian constantly, Fatty Wei became one of the most powerful cultivators in existence.
Sadly, he lost his life sacrificing himself in the defense of Xing Wenghu.
The portly young man in front of Xing Wenghu stood up, and stopped eating his rice patty.
"Oh? How did you know my name? I can't say I've met you before. But it must be a good omen for this cultivator yes!" He laughed with Xing Wenghu, who laughed back.
Xing Wenghu could prevent the death of Fatty Wei in this life yes, that was for sure! If he allied with him in the Battle Royale, and told him the secrets of his fabled fat shed technique.
Fatty Wei would grow into a powerful and unmatched cultivator.
All he had to do was make sure Fatty Wei didn't get back stabbed in the same manner as his previous life.
"Oh yes indeed. Say, they are letting us make teams for the Battle Royale. Why don't we join forces? If there are two of us instead of one, we are sure to stand a greater chance wouldn't you say?"
Fatty Wei proposed this onto Xing Wenghu with a smile on his face.
Fatty Wei was merely going along with what Xing Wenghu had said. His name was not Fatty Wei at all, nor did he know him whatsoever, but if he could attach onto someone useful for the Cultivator Battle Royale...
He would more than enough reap the rewards!
When you have a free lunch, be very shameless indeed! These were his thoughts.
Xing Wenghu instantaneously agreed to partnering with Fatty Wei. And with that, their partnership was sealed.
No talking, no deep pondering whatsoever. Just instantly agreeing with each other simply with a nod.
Xing Wenghu then sat next to Fatty Wei, thinking. "Hm, We should probably get someone else to join us. Who knows what dangers we will encounter in the Battle Royale?"
Fatty Wei smiled at Xing Wenghu "Don't worry my brother, we will have a special chance to get some benefits! Just wait and listen. We have time to find someone else."
Xing Wenghu was reckless and impatient, ready to get into trouble to find someone else. However when he turned around to look, his eyes gazed upon the perfect Jade Beauty.
And her eyes gazed back at him with interest.
Xing Wenghu laid eyes upon a woman who looked just like a loyal servant of his in the past. It was astounding to him! He recounted deeply his past passion for her, preparing a deep and dramatic monologue in his mind. The images fluttered in Xing Wenghu's head, almost as massive as his ego. It was a forbidden love, one that could never be permitted between master and servant. The world of cultivators was harsh and very unforgiving! The two could never be together, as they were worlds apart. One was a lowly servant who could do little but serve, and Xing Wenghu was a man capable of great achievements. Xing Wenghu knew how loyal her love for him had been and deeply regretted not embracing her in the past. His harem of hundreds of women unable to fill the hole in his heart. Despite his deep fondness for her, Xing Wenghu couldn't remember her name at all. Was this the curse of loving a side character? One so irrelevant, not even the author could name her? No matter how weak she was... O
Xing Wenghu split up from his group of companions. Fatty Wei had gone to preoccupy himself with the local buffet, while the Jade Beauty of his eyes wanted to be alone for unknown reasons. Xing Wenghu wouldn't pay much mind to his companions right now, as per tradition. He was the main character, and they were the side characters. Their entire lives revolved around him in the first place!Xing Wenghu was the protagonist after all. Believing himself to be better and more powerful than everyone else around him. And why wouldn't he think that? He was the protagonist of his own story, after all. As far as he was concerned, his companions were nothing more than side characters who existed to further his own plotline. They would never amount to anything on their own and were completely expendable.Just like the Manhuas he always read. That didn't mean he didn't care for them, of course. He just saw them in a different light than they probably saw themselves. After all, why should he worr
Xing Wenghu was currently with Feng Peng, the two having decided to vacate from the training premise. It was not good for your luck linger around trash like Lo. Especially one who defecated so horribly. It was said in the ancient archives of the universe, to be in the presence of such concentrated shit. Would curse one person for ten generations! "So he was using your sister to blackmail you, how despicable!" Xing Wenghu clutched his fist in rage. "Yes, you have to be careful Brother Xing. He will try to pursue revenge." Xing Wenghu only laughed at what Feng Peng said. Many had tried to get revenge on him, and now they were in a grave! The only bastard that was still living was that damn Sun Yaozu. The one foe Xing Wenghu could not take on right now. He had amassed too much power, likely from a hidden treasure. How dare he covet his mother... In time Xing Wenghu would rise and come back with a vengeance upon Sun Yaozu, and pay forth his revenge upon the man ten fold! But for now
Fatty Wei had gone off with Feng Peng to preform some special eating training together, in order to accumulate the necessary fat to preform the fat shedding technique. Xing Wenghu could only hope Feng Peng's stomach would be able to handle all of the food! "Feng Peng my friend, hold on. Your suffering shall soon pay off!" While hoping that Feng Peng would be able to endure, Xing Wenghu ran into the Jade Beauty that had captured his eyes Maria. However, he felt something was off. She was currently leaning against a wall, multiple women surrounding her. "Oh? What do we have here?" A woman was standing in front of Maria, taller than her and very cocky. With a arrogant expression upon her face. Xing Wenghu had recognized this classical scene, played out in several of the manhuas he read. His Jade Beauty was in danger! But this Heavenly King could feel no fear, a few women were of no concern! "Hmph. You think you can compare to me huh? Trash women like you could never hold a candle
Xing Wenghu turned to face Feng Peng, shocked by his sudden interruption. "Feng Peng my friend, what is the matter?" He said, a tinge of confusion in Xing Wenghu's voice. Maria looking at him with worry. "That bastard Lo is back Xing! He's brought some of his lackey's out and kidnapped Fatty Wei!" Feng Peng was a mess, covered in grease and sauces from the restaurant they were in. It was rather sloppy. "You have to stop him, please!" Feng Peng got on his knees and begged Xing Wenghu, who only smiled down at him like a god at a servant. "Hmph. If Lo wants to provoke me, then I will show him the wrath of Heaven and Earth!" He would have to handle this nonsense first, before he could hand his precious Jade Beauty the techniques she would need. "Feng Peng! Lead the way to him!" Xing Wenghu shouted, Feng Peng bowing with a nod at him. "Yes!" Feng Peng then led Xing Wenghu throughout the facility, the pair avoiding any encounters with the other "bizarre" cultivators that inhabited it.
Xing Wenghu began to concentrate, flexing his body in a weird and bizarre way. Dramatic music began to play, but only in Xing Wenghu's mind. Nobody else could hear the dramatic and cool orchestra accompanying Xing Wenghu's transformation. It was his personal battle theme after all, why did anyone else need to hear it in the first place? He began to breath deeply, in and out slowly. "Looks like I'll have to use ten percent of my power on you ants. Behold, the true might of a Heavenly King!" Xing Wenghu imagined white lightning bursting all over his body, Strength was flowing all over himself. His meridians were bursting with Heavenly Celestial Qi that had transcended all of the Daoists in the entire universe. This was his prime, his soul. The power of his regression, incarnation and of every ancestor rising within him. A massive white glow, only visible to Xing Wenghu exploded all over his body. One of the thugs stopped in place, "Hey what the fuck is he doing?" Another one sto
Xing Wenghu stood victorious over Loser Lo, as Feng Peng went and untied Fatty Wei from ropes Lo had bound him within. Fatty Wei stood up, stretched himself and punched Lo in the face immediately as his first priority. "Well that settles that. Master Xing, what are you going to do with him?" Fatty Wei asked, as Xing Wenghu pondered to himself. He was still in his "Heavenly King" mode, albeit ten percent of it's power. He concentrated within his soul, and realized an ingenious thing he could inflict upon Lo for all of his crimes at this time. "I have a better idea." Xing Wenghu held a floating ethereal contract in his right hand, that only he could see. "Lo the Loser. You will sign this contract with your soul. You will become my servant for five hundred years, and should you defy or fight against me. You will be consumed by demons for all of eternity!!!" Feng Peng and Fatty Wei gasped, bowing in submission to Xing Wenghu. "S-Such power!" Feng Peng commented. Fatty Wei equally
Xing Wenghu gasped dramatically, imagining a dramatic cut in on his face while facing the mysterious man.. "I have to be careful around this man, I can feel he is dangerous to me!" Of course, him being more muscular and larger than Xing Wenghu did not help. The mysterious man only looked at Xing Wenghu, before he began to speak. "Hm. So your the mysterious cultivator kicking people's asses around here huh? You're not a cheater are you?" The man carried a air of professionalism around him, his intent concentrating on Xing Wenghu like a leash. "I don't know what you are talking about" Xing Wenghu shouted with a hint of fear in his voice. Could this man have regressed just like him? Was he aware of his regression? He could not let him live, if he really did know! The man only stared at Xing Wenghu, before getting into a fighting stance. "If you're not cheating. Then show me what you can do." He began to circle around Xing Wenghu, in a professional fighting stance. "H-He's serious
Feng Peng looked at Xing Wenghu with just a hint of confusion within his eyes. He was not sure what to say. Master Wenghu didn't have much of a plan? "Master Wenghu. So we just wait here for the enemy to come to us and eat all of their resources?" Feng Peng asked hesitantly. Xing Wenghu nodded his head at Feng Peng."Yes. We don't need to do anything. Whoever owns this place is going to come to us, and that will be when we ambush them and take over this place for good. From there, we can win The Cultivator Battle Royale!" It would be a goose chase to search for whoever might have owned this place. Xing Wenghu did not want to waste his energy chasing after people who would come to him on their own!Feng Peng nodded his head in understanding at Xing Wenghu. "Alright then. I am going to finally sleep. My eyes are so tired, and my whole body aches!" Feng Peng immediately ran to the upstairs bedroom of the house that they were inside of. Xing Wenghu took the opprotunity to sit himself on t
Xing Wenghu held his arm out to stop the party from moving forward. Their conversation had been cut off by Xing Wenghu. Xing Wenghu was currently looking ahead of him, the party was standing behind a bunch of trees. Ahead of them was a clearing, in which a suspiciously clean and immaculate House was standing in the middle of nowhere. There were no obvious traps, nobody standing around.The entire area looked as if nobody had touched it at all. Chaddy Wei looked up from behind Xing Wenghu up ahead. "Woah Brother Xing, looks like we found shelter already!" Chaddy Wei looked up excitedly at the Log Cabin that was up ahead of them. "This means we can finally take a shower properly Brother Xing! I don't want to cultivate The Dao of The Gamer Stench!" Feng Peng laughed at the ridiculousness of Chaddy Wei's statement. "A shower? Where!?" The Ultimate Vine Mistress called out immediately. But Xing Wenghu ssh'd them. "Everyone. It could be a trap. This looks too clean and too well prepared fo
Xing Wenghu stood still and looked out at the forest for a few minutes. He did this to be cool and dramatic, but also to make it look like he was having a moment of deep change and inner peace inside. By letting Billy go, Xing Wenghu had equally in a way let go of many things weighing him down. Xing Wenghu stared with the most solemn eyes into the horizon. While his companions awkwardly stood behind him. "Are we....Are we doing something?" The Ultimate Vine Mistress said, looking around like she was expecting something to happen. Immediately, Chaddy Wei shushed her. "Sssh! Brother Xing is having a moment!" Chaddy Wei knew from his intuition that Xing Wenghu was having a moment of deep contemplation, especially with how distant he looked into the forest.Xing Wenghu had alot on his mind that he just couldn't work himself out of. He thought to himself what he should do, but there was so much coming back to him. If he was willing to let a side character like Billy go, would he spare Sun
Young Xing pointed his hand at Billy and his friends. Who all sneered and laughed at Xing Wenghu. He happened to also be the shortest kid in the entire class. So everybody metaphorically and literally looked down on him. "Whats the matter Immortal Emperor? Are you going to hit me? Are you gonna hit me huh little emperor?" Billy and his friends arrogantly laughed.Young Xing was brimming with anger. He raised his hand and immediately went to smack-"Wait wait. Now isn't the time for another flashback. I have to finish beating the shit out of you!" Xing Wenghu declared. He immediately broke out of the flash back. Now was not the time for a long and boring flashback about why he hated Billy. Xing Wenghu raised his hand to attempt to strike down Billy. He didn't need to explain himself to the audience. After all what kind of Main Character explains his actions before he acts! As Xing Wenghu raised his hand to attempt to kill Billy, he immediately on cue began to cry and squeal."No please
Xing Wenghu looked shocked at the figure standing in front of him. He pointed his finger out, shaking with slight anger and agitation. "You! You are courting death to come here! Only a fool would stand before me after what you did. And yet you have the boldness. As if you are a chicken standing before the chef, testing if you will be cooked!" Xing Wenghu directly shouted at the figure standing in front of the group. It was a young man who was of a similar age to Xing. His outfit was generic and forgettable. He did not have any significant features outside of a bowl hair cut and a skinny body build. Chaddy Wei looked skeptically at Xing Wenghu, unsure of the source of his agitation. "Brother Xing. Are you alright? This young man bears the resemblance of the side characters you talk about." Chaddy Wei doubted that the person before them was capable of anything. His senses had been enhanced from his Chad transformation. He could not feel a remote heartbeat of qi coming from the perso
Xing Wenghu was alarmed by what the Fat Cultivator told him. If Sun Yaozu was aware of his location, then it was only a matter of time until a dangerous foe attempted to ambush him. Xing Wenghu was not afraid, but the dao of the plot mandated that he not confront Sun Yaozu's imminent threat immediately. It would spoil the dramatic build up of the hidden powerful foe Sun Yaozu had recruited to fight against him."Brother Wei. We must not stay here. We have to find Feng Peng and whats her name and get a move on." Xing Wenghu said authoratively to Chaddy Wei as the two of them prepared to rejoin their companions. "How long has it been since we entered the trial?" Xing Wenghu asked the fat cultivator. The cultivator took a breath before replying."It has only been about three hours since you two entered the trial. You should have enough time to cover your tracks and make a run for it." The Fat Cultivator said. Xing Wenghu and Chaddy Wei nodded at each other before making their way back th
Xing Wenghu and Chaddy Wei were floating through the digital vortext. Both of them were swirling and flying in a mystical matrix of Data. "Brother Xing. What is going on!!!" Chaddy Wei shouted, flailing his arms around while floating in the mysterious portal. The two were being whisked away from the digital world they were in.Xing Wenghu floated calmly, despite erratically flying all over the place. "Don't worry Brother Wei. We are leaving the trial now and returning back to the Battle Royale. We just have to wait-" With a violent woosh, Xing Wenghu and Chaddy Wei found themselves back in their bodies in the mountain cavern they had previously been standing in.Chaddy Wei took a deep exasperated breath and ripped off the helmet that had been on his head, while Xing Wenghu took off the helmet calmly. "We're alive. We're alive Brother Xing! Hahaha!" Chaddy Wei shouted with happiness. Xing Wenghu looked at the make of the helmet he had worn, before tossing it away. The Fat Cultivator fr
Sun Yaozu stood in the dirtiest den of criminals in the Cultivator World. The floor was unwashed and grimy. Rats littered the building he was standing in. But to get to the black market, you had to not be afraid to get your hands dirty. He stood in front of one of the brokers of the Cultivator Underworld, arranging carefully a deal with him that would soon solve a headache for him."And you're telling me you want to kill one boy in the Cultivator Battle Royale?" The Cultivator Broker looked at Sun Yaozu skeptically. He could not believe what he was hearing. In his entire life, he had yet to hear of someone wanting to assassinate a delusional contestant of the Battle Royale. "It's hard to keep an assassination like that hidden. There are cameras all over the Cultivator Battle Royale. Anyone who is sent will be seen and recorded." The broker was surprised by the boldness of Sun Yaozu, to attempt such a open assassination on such a weak and feeble target. It was statistically likely they
Xing Wenghu turned to Chaddy Wei proudly, "Let's get out of here Brother Wei". Although he was tempted by the darkness and angst deep within him to kill Sun Yaozu. He could not spoil his fateful confrontation. For the sake of the Plot, he had to leave Sun Yaozu alive. The Dao of the Plot would remove Xing Wenghu's Plot armor if he wasted his time killing Sun Yaozu now. Who would be his final villain to beat the shit out of?Those who strayed from the plot, very easily and very quickly fell into qi deviation. Chaddy Wei nodded at Xing Wenghu as the two of them approached the portal, only to be cut off by a voice behind them."Y-You fool Xing Wenghu! I will kill you after you're done with this stupid game. But my children will kill you long before you have a chance!" Sun Yaozu spat with anger at Xing Wenghu, who only regarded him as a mere side character. The lowest of statuses he could bestow upon someone."Silence. I will beat the shit out of you later." Xing Wenghu coldly turned arou
