Are you really trying to cultivate immortality? Something feels off.

"Awooo!" The hyena screamed and flew backward. A beam of light carrying extreme icy intent pierced through its back and into its abdomen. For a fire-type spirit beast that lived in the Li Huo Mountain Range year-round, this was a deadly poison.

The bowstring was not fully drawn, yet its sharpness already overwhelmed the entire area, and the spirit beasts slowly retreated in fear.

The dark purple spiritual power that Tan Suiting had been gathering in his palm suddenly dissipated.

[Holy crap?!]

[Well, I didn't tell you when you were cursing, but when your father Xie was completely out of spiritual energy at Qingyu Sect, he could kill Wen Fu instantly with three shots, each one hitting its mark, using only 20 cultivation points and a sleeve dart that looked like a nail file. Do you dare question whether your Emperor Xing is aiming at that?]

[Tsk.]

[I didn't remind you because you were so engrossed in your abusive relationship. Right now, you should owe Xie Weixing a "Daddy, I was wrong" message.]

[Everyone experiences the supreme dominance of the cultivation world's top king]

[I'm absolutely in love with this kind of character who's ambitious, daring, and incredibly resilient.]

[This is so exhilarating, it's giving me goosebumps! Dad, you're born to be a leading man!]

Only by doing your best can you accept your fate.

[Just kidding, your Emperor Xinghuang has no idea what the Mandate of Heaven is.]

[Is this a vlog of a day in the life of the high-energy little lion from Feng Hua Sect causing mischief?]

[No matter what, the Emperor will always find a way.]

[The green hills are slightly less majestic than his, and the rivers are less powerful than his.]

Shen Chunri stared in shock at the scene before him, muttering breathlessly, "Damn madman... how can you even draw a bow... forget about being a disciple, let's go back and attack the sect..."

Xie Weixing looked at the screen full of praise, but he didn't feel anything, because he was 100% confident that the arrow would hit the target.

He grumbled regretfully, "I didn't save the replay, otherwise I would have posted it on my homepage later."

This guy is such a show-off. Other celebrity contestants' social media pages are all filled with sweet hand gesture dances and daily vlogs arranged by their management.

He was the only one who provided any information beyond the live stream replays and clips of the game's cuts, along with a few dubious photos of the actual event.

Occasionally, she would reveal her slender, long fingers while petting a kitten; during daily training, she would murmur to herself; and in the dim light, she would show her blurry profile with her hand supporting her face.

She entices people insidiously. She's a master at hooking her fans.

The most alluring photo is a front-facing shot that imitates the classic selfie of a famous Taiwanese gay male celebrity. It is taken from a bottom-up angle, with the cold white light shining down in the opposite direction. The palm is turned upside down, the tiger's mouth is on the chin, the sexy lips are slightly open, and the index finger is turned upside down and placed between the lips, like a snake hissing and flicking its tongue.

A single photo garnered three million likes, and the comments section was filled with shocked onlookers. "We always thought you girls had a fetish for ugly things, but you're secretly enjoying this kind of thing behind our backs?" On that day, it topped the trending list for male contestants, and KWG officially declared itself the king. KVTCN's trending topics also flooded the internet. A fanfic about a female contestant received over a thousand comments on AO3, and countless people outside the fandom flocked to the scene.

Many people questioned his sexual orientation because of this picture, but because he played games with female friends in his early years, haters dug it up and criticized him for being "sexually repressed" and "a professional player who still looks for girls and has a sweet relationship." It generated a lot of buzz, but a fan's comment, "You are questioning someone who is ranked last in the world and doesn't like to play with girls," silenced all the comments, to the point that Xie Weixing did not come out as gay for five years while playing games.

He has always been pretentious and good at showing off. He never admits defeat. Even when he first transmigrated and had no spiritual power, he spent a month in the library before deciding to accept his fate.

He is like the sun, or like wild grass and bamboo, constantly drawing energy and feeding it back. As long as he finds a glimmer of hope, he will tenaciously strive upwards. No one can dislike him.

Okay. Even if I don't like him, I absolutely can't ignore him.

This is Xie Weixing.

[Dad, don't worry about that, I've saved it.]

[The filial daughter has seriously edited this replay and set it as the cover image for her Honor of Kings homepage.]

[After they finished their business and came in, they saw a Baili Shouyue here, and said...]

[Playing with a second in the world of cultivation]

[Dad, what kind of accuracy and headshot line is this? Log into my account right now and help me with my placement matches, that's an order!]

Before Xie woke up, he asked the system why there were so many people in the observation room, but none of them recognized him as KWG's hated crown prince.

The system replied: The audience in the observation room after you entered the book is not in the same dimension as the world you were in before. Due to irreversible reasons such as spacetime chaos and overlap, it is extremely rare for someone to enter another dimension and enter a book without dying. You are the first. And you should also be the last.

Xie Weixing: Hmm. Even my transmigration into a book is one in a million.

A royal destiny. No explanation needed.

These individuals were all the pride of the Feng Hua Sect, and Xie Weixing's crucial Cang Xue Leng Yue gave them a chance to catch their breath.

It was only for a moment, but that was enough.

Moreover, they somehow managed to adapt to the extremely high temperature without realizing it, and even Shen Chunri no longer found it unbearable.

Skin-to-skin contact would increase the sensation of heat, so Nie Zhao tore off the hem of his clothes and tied a knot around the waist of each person, binding five people in a row to keep them alert, so that everyone could notice if anyone acted strangely.

She walked in front, holding tightly to Yu Xintang's sleeve so he wouldn't fall behind.

"Senior Sister..." Yu Xintang was in great pain, her whole body trembling under the pressure of the high-temperature blade. "Just let me die, I really won't leave. This Feng Hua Sect is not a place for humans. If I had known, I would have gone to Tian Xuan Sect. It would have been nice to draw talismans and blow up old men every day... Don't force me... Put down your butcher's knife, okay? Buddha is saving you."

He kept muttering to himself, but his legs never stopped.

"Shut up," Nie Zhao turned around, gave him a cold look, and breathed heavily, "You won't get away with this. I'll kill you."

In her mind, you can lose by three-sevenths, four-sevenths, or five-sevenths.

But you absolutely cannot lose in the last seventh. If you can't persevere through that final stretch, it means you lack not ability, but courage and perseverance.

She can accept someone with less talent, but she will never accept someone who gives up on themselves as a partner she can entrust her back to.

Yu Xintang:......

He's just all talk. If things really come to a head, see who's the first to run away.

Shouldn't you give someone a slap followed by a sweet treat? Why is it all slaps right from the start?

"I was just saying," he said obediently, sounding a little aggrieved, "I didn't really want to die."

Nie Zhao snorted coldly, turned her head away, and ignored him.

Yu Xintang was followed by Xie Weixing.

His forehead was covered in sweat, his lips were chapped, and the bloodstains on the corners of his mouth had dried, but he looked quite relaxed, with a kind of calmness that came from being tortured to the point of mental breakdown.

He stretched out a hand, placed his palm against Yu Xintang's lower back, and used the leverage to bend over and push forward.

This saves effort for the person in front, and allows you to change your posture for leverage.

Yu Xintang shuddered, glanced back, and said in an unusually hoarse voice, "Damn, I thought you were still tickling me at a time like this."

Xie Weixing was speechless and rolled his eyes at him.

"I don't want to argue with you like that," he said curtly. "Shut up."

This current appearance suggests that if someone enters a 3 AM duo queue team and starts mic-calling, they'll be kicked out without hesitation by the girls, who might even mock them for having a holiday and how elementary school students can be playing the job market game.

I can't bear the shame.
