The Demon Path CultivatorIn the Outer Sect, many people were present. The Main Character (MC) thought to himself, "Why not find a quiet place to cultivate?" Just then, a "ding" notification arrived from the System: "Host, you have received a mission. A specific location has been found where you can cultivate in peace."
The MC replied, "System, show me where this place is." After the System provided the coordinates, the MC reached the location. Upon arrival, he noticed a dense amount of Demonic Energy lingering there. Without wasting time, he began his martial arts training and cultivation.
Many days later, the Sect Leader ordered all disciples to gather. Everyone was being assigned individual missions. The Great Elder, who appeared in the last chapter, was searching for the MC. A nearby Elder asked, "Are you looking for him?" The Great Elder replied, "Yes, I am looking for that boy (MC)." The other Elder remarked, "He's probably off somewhere cultivating in secret again."
The scene shifts to the MC finishing his cultivation session. He receives a message: "The Sect Leader has summoned everyone." When the MC arrived at the gathering, an Elder pointed him out: "Great Elder, there is the one you were looking for." The Great Elder sighed in relief, "Finally, you've shown up."
Suddenly, the Sect Leader shouted, "Listen up! All students present here are being assigned a mission. You must enter the Demonic Jungle, hunt down demonic beasts, and bring back their Demon Cores. Those who fail will be punished!"
The students were terrified at the mention of the Demonic Jungle, but the MC stood there, perfectly chill, as if he feared nothing.
The scene transitions to the Demonic Jungle. The MC was busy hunting beasts and had already collected a large pile of cores. Nearby, a group of students spotted him. Seeing his hoard, they demanded, "Hey! Give all those cores to us!"
The MC smirked, "You really think you can take them from me?"
Just then, a System notification popped up:
System Alert: Host, these people want to rob you. What will you do?
Kill them all.
Run away.
The MC instantly chose the first option. The students launched an attack, but the MC simply dodged and countered with a single strike. In an instant, they were all dead.
The MC muttered, "Killing them was a waste of time, but I need to hide these bodies or the Sect Leader will punish me."
Ding! Another notification appeared:
"Host, for killing these practitioners, you have earned Villain Points and a Demonic Book."
The MC opened the book and discovered a new technique that allowed him to absorb corpses. After using the technique on the fallen students, the MC unlocked a new transformation: The Eight-Armed Form. However, this form could only be maintained for 3 minutes.
Smiling to himself, the MC gathered all his collected cores, headed back to the Sect, and submitted them.
