Cheat Cultivator's Ascension

Man Xie is a rough and arrogant guy and just like his brother Man Yi, he's a battle maniac as well, hence his tendency to provoke his opponents so that they would fight him unhesitatingly, turning it into the kind of battle he really love, ones where it's either him, or his opponent that would win, but both of them having their bodies filled with wounds from the fight.

It was just another match for him, the immortal-like young man in front of him making his blood boil as he recalls some of the few times that he saw how the young man fight, his body shaking in excitement at the thought of fighting with a strong opponent.

Yet he felt like despite all his strength, the immortal-like young man is still holding back his true prowess, and that's what he hates the most, his enemies holding back on him, as it makes him feel belittled.

So his normal routine acts up, provoking the young man consistently even before the barrier between their platforms dissipates, but his opponent didn't even take his taunts seriously for a while.

Until something, something that he will definitely regret came out of his mouth.

"What's the problem, can't talk?

I bet your mother or your father is too useless if they couldn't even teach you to reply properly when someone is asking" he said before he felt something extremely wrong, as if he's the only one in the surrounding, the sound of shouting and cheering from the audience's area receding, making him hear a single sound, the steps of his opponent approaching him, the sound coming every time he gets closer making his heart beats faster and faster.

With his back filled with cold sweat, he steps backwards repeatedly as he looks at his opponent in fear, the deadpan look on his face making him think that he would kill him.

As he approaches his enemy closer and closer, the hatred in Wu Xiaotian's heart grows more and more, looking at the young man in front of him as if he's already dead meat.

'How dare you insult my beloved mom like that' he thought to himself while voicing another thing.

"You shouldn't have said that"

This was the last thing that Man Xie heard before his opponent disappears again, multiple alarms going off his mind to surrender, his body fighting the immense restriction from the terror he's currently feeling just to survive, a massive relief washing through his mind once he uttered his surrender.

"Tch" pretending to look annoyed, Wu Xiaotian continuously send in his Primordial Nihility Transcendent Qi towards his opponent's body through his blade that is currently in the young man's neck, digging a few millimeters deep, infusing the Transcendent Qi continuously throughout the young man's body.

As the stone platforms separated them, Wu Xiaotian sighed with relief as he managed to control himself from killing this opponent in the stage, as it will definitely make him suffer some serious repercussions.

However, he wouldn't let it end like this though, as the moment the guy insulted his mother, surge of anger came out from his deepest parts, making him decide that he will definitely ruin this young man.

'Pity I can't kill him in front of everyone to set an example not to say anything like that ever again' he thought to himself as swings his blade down, ridding it of the blood sticking on it, before he pulled out a clean cloth from his spatial ring, wiping his blade clean before sheathing it again.

'Well, you won't get away with that so easily though' observing the young man now in the audience area using his senses, Wu Xiaotian saw three small volatile mass of Transcendent Qi gathering in three areas inside Man Xie; the brain, the heart and the core formed from when he entered the Core Formation Realm, the three masses of Transcendent Qi threatening to devour the vicinity around them the moment the soul power containing them dissipates.

'You're screwed the moment you step out of the inheritance ground' he thought to himself before sitting down in the stone platform, closing his eyes to focus on observing all the other matches proceeding, nodding his head when he saw that most of his friends still in the competition on the winning side of their matches, with Li Yan already done with her match, happily observing him with a smile on her face.

Smiling at her antics, he opened his eyes and looks at her as well, surprising her as she thought he is recuperating, their eyes locking at each other, their thoughts and feelings properly being conveyed from a single glance despite the distance between the two of them.

As they 'telepathically' communicate with each other, the matches start ending, Hua Xian'er as well as Hong Lian's matches ending as well, along with the other geniuses favored by the audience, proving time and time again the difference between normal cultivators and heaven's favored individuals like them.

While the spectators discuss about the still ongoing matches, Wu Xiaotian caught two more gazes locking at him, one from an alluring, purple-haired lady that immediately winks at him the moment their eyes met, and the other one from a phoenix-like lady that averts her gaze as if he loses her interest once their gazes intersect.

'These two…' with his lips twitching as he smiles, Wu Xiaotian couldn't help but think of how peculiar these two beautiful ladies are.

The purple-haired young lady he could understand, she's probably just that confident of herself, hence the constant teasing whenever they look at each other, but the phoenix-like young lady, he just couldn't figure out why she acts disinterested once he paid attention towards her, despite catching him looking towards him multiple times now.

'Could this be the legendary kuudere?' he thought to himself as he remembers a particular read he had in his previous life, girls that acts extremely cold outside but with hearts so full of tender affection towards the ones she loves.

While speculating the intent of the two ladies observing him, the grace period eventually passed, the clear sign of it the fact that the stone platforms move randomly into matchmaking again, but this time, the movements changed, with the stone platforms of the other participants moving towards the spectators' area, leaving behind only two people within the arena.

"Congratulations to the remaining participants for passing through the preliminary rounds. Now starting the second phase of the competition. One-on-one combat between two competitors without any other participants in the field, the same rules, no killing once the opponent surrendered or deemed unable to fight by the system"

As the familiar mechanical voice ends its explanation, two figures, both well known to the audience were revealed in the arena, one of them looking like a white-haired mature beauty to the spectators, while the other an immortal-like young man with a blade tied on his waist.

"Damn, it's just the start of the second phase but it's already something like this"

"Less competitors for the other geniuses…"

"What a pity they faced each other this early"

The spectators, seeing the match-up, couldn't help but lament at the fact that one of this two geniuses will step down from the competition just because they met this early in the second phase.

"Yan'er…"

"Husband…"

Locking eyes with each other, the people are surprised from the words uttered by both competitors, before they got an even bigger surprise as the gorgeous lady disappeared from her position, appearing beside the immortal-like young man, sending in a peck in his lips before smiling cheekily at him as she announces her surrender.

'DAMN!!! WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE HANDSOME ONES!??' the men from the audience shouts in their mind as they look at the scene with envy in their eyes.
