At the peak of Jingxin.
“Are you ready?”
The Seventh Elder, Linghua, unusually not lying in bed eating melons during the day, came outside and looked her disciple up and down.
After unlocking the talent of the Hidden Yuan Sword Body, Su Ling’s cultivation level could be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.
Previously stuck without progress for three years, now, in just three months, she had advanced from the fifth rank of Qi Refining to the ninth rank.
Looking at the entire Xuanling Sect, aside from the new disciple Shui Qiu taken in by the Great Elder, the progress of others seemed a bit inferior in comparison.
“No problem,” Su Ling confidently affirmed, “I am confident in taking the first place among the Qi Refining generation.”
The disciple competition of Xuanling Sect is conducted from the bottom up, in an elimination format.
Outer sect disciples compete first, and the winners then challenge the inner sect disciples, followed by another round to challenge the direct disciples.
In terms of divisions, it is split into Qi Refining and Foundation Building, after all, it’s not quite realistic for a Qi Refining cultivator to go up against the top contenders in Foundation Building.
The person who takes first place will receive generous rewards, as well as a more important subsequent cultivation plan.
It can be said that whether it’s outer sect or direct disciples, everyone is eager and ready to go.
“By the way,” Linghua wasn’t worried about this disciple’s strength, so she shifted her attention to another matter, “How are things with Tang Xin? Did your relationship improve?”
“Cough cough cough!”
As soon as Linghua brought this up, Su Ling couldn’t help but cough.
“Get along with her? Impossible!”
“But I heard she saved your life…”
“Next time I’ll definitely save her back,” the sword cultivator girl said, “Master, don’t be fooled by her, she’s not a good person!”
…
“I am a good person,” Tang Xin told the inner sect disciples listening intently, “Self-disciplined, optimistic, persisting in running every day, helping junior brothers and sisters who encounter bottlenecks with intensive training.”
“No objections to this point, right?”
The inner sect disciples were silent.
Even if they had objections, they couldn’t voice them in front of the elders…
“As disciples of the Xuanling Sect, you must possess integrity,” the head senior sister continued, “and also the spirit of never giving up. Being lazy? That’s the last thing that should happen!”
“So, I have some great news for you. In this disciple competition, those among you who are successfully challenged by an outer sect disciple will be rewarded with the ‘Special Training Program’. I won’t reveal what it entails for now, but it’s definitely something that can enhance both your physical and mental aspects.”
“Tell me, are you happy to hear this news?”
“Happy…”
Several inner sect disciples started crying on the spot.
“Tang Xin has spoken wonderfully,” the Grand Elder said. “Go prepare, and I hope you can show progress that will surprise the sect.”
The inner sect disciples scattered in a flash, leaving only Grand Elder Xuanmiao and Tang Xin.
“You really have a way with disciplining disciples,” Xuanmiao said. “I can feel that you’ve ignited their morale.”
“It’s nothing…”
Those who had experienced Tang Xin’s “training” probably wouldn’t want to go through it again…
“This is your first time defending the position since becoming the head disciple,” the Grand Elder smiled. “Feeling any pressure?”
From the outer sect to the inner sect, to the direct disciples, challenging one level after another, and standing at the very top, overlooking all the disciples, naturally, was the highest-ranking disciple, the sect’s head disciple.
“To be honest,” Tang Xin said expressionlessly, “not really…”
She was already a seventh-grade Foundation Building cultivator, ranking among the top in the direct disciples, had learned many techniques, not to mention she had accumulated a lot of oppression points, ready to exchange for whatever she needed.
Defending this position wasn’t a big problem.
“Uh,” Elder Xuanmiao was stunned for a moment. “I thought you were not very excited because you felt too much pressure…”
“It’s fine, I always have this expression,” Tang Xin said expressionlessly. “Besides, Grand Elder, you should get back to work. Otherwise, if tasks pile up, you’ll have to pull all-nighters for many days again.”
“Can’t I just forget about work for a while?”

Why isn’t the mood uplifting?
[If any given target is not achieved, it will be considered a failure of the current main storyline.]
[Punishment for failure: Direct entry into the main storyline “I, am the villainous big boss!”]
Honestly, it’s hard to get excited about this…
Tang Xin took a deep breath.
Let’s look on the bright side, maybe this “I, am the villainous big boss!” main storyline is actually pretty good? Isn’t it popular now to become the boss, controlling everything from behind the scenes?
Maybe, not completing the main storyline objectives is actually a good thing?

Five, four, three, two, one…
In the scene, a woman with villainous makeup appeared, looking down at the world from a high mountain with a cold smile on her face.
Yes, it was Tang Xin herself.
At the same time, a voiceover sounded.
“Darkness descends.”
A mass of dark clouds moved from the horizon, looming over Xuanling Sect.
“Nine Provinces continent is about to face an unprecedented crisis.”
Then, the camera shifted to Elder Xuanmiao, who looked solemnly at the sky and said, “It’s her… Quick, raise the protective formation of the sect!”
The camera then cut to the disciples of the Xuanling Sect, all of whom were looking terrified, hugging each other while trembling, as a dark, oppressive army continued to advance in the distance… “Ah—!!!” Crack— The next frame expanded to other regions of the Nine Provinces continent, where smoke from battles rose in all directions, and wails filled the air.
Surrounded by a massive army, Tang Xin arrived on the battlefield and with a casual wave of her hand, annihilated all the righteous cultivators in front of her.
“Kill the male cultivators, and the female cultivators… pick out the pretty ones for me!”
Behind her, there were beautiful women of various styles, ages, and races, too numerous to see the end of them.
At this moment, the narration sounded again. “A calamity has arrived, life is in dire straits, and the Nine Provinces continent is about to fall into the clutches of demons.”
Boom! A thunderclap in the sky made the advancing army halt and look up. “This is…” Light. It was light. Every captive touched by the light showed a hopeful expression.
“I’m back.”
The screen was engulfed by light, background noise of white noise followed, and then these words appeared one by one. “For those who couldn’t make it back.”
Swoosh!
…
“Does this preview mean to tell me that being the villainous big boss allows one to live the high life, getting any beauty one desires just by snapping their fingers?”
Tang Xin raised an eyebrow.
“Is this a scam preview? Only showing the cool side of the villain but not the consequences. System, fast forward to the ending!”
