Chapter 613 – One-Slap Man
99,997th step.
BOOM
Miaomiao's entire body exploded and turned into smoke. Three seconds later, the black and white cloud regrouped. Then, Miaomiao's body reemerged.
He didn't bother checking his condition. He walked further another step.
99,998th step.
BOOM
Again, Miaomiao's body was turned into black and white smoke. This time, it only took Miaomiao two seconds to recreate his body.
He took another step.
99,999th step.
BOOM
Once more, Miaomiao turned into smoke.
However, he only needed one second to self-resurrect.
Then, another step, the 100,000th step!
BOOM
Miaomiao died, but he didn't turn into smoke. His body automatically regenerated instantly as if it had never been destroyed.
He didn't get cocky. Even though his refined soul and regeneration ability seemed to be in perfect shape, he wasn't satisfied.
Miaomiao gazed at the sky in front of him. Countless stone platforms lead him further to the void, but he believed that it would be pointless soon.
He took another step to confirm his theory.
BOOM
Something exploded inside him, but his body mass no longer shattered or turned into smoke.
100,002nd step!
BOOM
Again, Miaomiao was unaffected by the explosion. He felt like someone had hit him with a piece of popcorn.
Miaomiao checked the time. He had about five hours remaining in the real world, which translated to 208 days of his stopwatch time.
"I'm ahead of the schedule."
Miaomiao closed his eyes to feel the connection between his soul and physique. Controlling his Qi was now easier as everything merged nicely. Miaomiao felt like he had undergone a breakthrough 100,000 times to attain the Transcendent Soul Realm.
The changes also affected his dantian, the natives, and all sentinels.
Kang Yan, Ma Xingjuan, Liu Guang, and everybody's soul physique improved without doing anything! Their physical endurance, toughness, regeneration speed, and immunity were now almost as strong as Miaomiao's. As for Xie Tian, Xu Chu, Meowmeow, and people who had a superior cultivation base, their foundation was strengthened, and their physique also improved.
…
[Basic Information]
Name: Mao Miaomiao
Race: Demonic War Seraphim
Cultivation Rank: 11th Stage (Transcendent Soul)
Potential Percentage: 290%
Role: Antagonist NPC
[Energy Pool]
Current Soul Essence: 1,999,999,999,999,999 Crystals
Dantian Capacity: 40 Stellar Stars, 7 Planets, 7 Moons
…
The dantian universe grew larger every minute, especially the new planets and moons. The seven new stellar stars, aka Providence Fire, Water, Wind, Metal, Wood, Light, and Dark, continued to create a new moon with the same elements. As for the old moons, they rapidly evolved into planets, which were now ready to be used as ingredients to create new compound element stars.
Unfortunately, Miaomiao was not in the mood to condense a new compound element at the moment. He focused solely on consolidating his cultivation base and the new soul physique.
Miaomiao felt weird. His fleshly body, bones, and blood became a hard shell, cladded with seven basic Element Providence Qi.
His soul physique was different than the soul physique cultivators on the Golden Heavenly Goose Planet. Those 8th-stage and 9th-stage cultivators turned their bodies into a slime, who couldn't be killed unless their soul cores were destroyed.
On the other hand, Miaomiao's constitution and physique characteristics were almost the same as a mortal's body. He still had blood and flesh, but his physical defense attribute was on par with a deity's natural physique.
Now, only deities, who had a superior volume of Providence Qi or had a better Elemental Providence, could potentially harm him. As for the rest, they could only touch his shell and prey that Miaomiao might receive some damage.
Miaomiao turned off the system menu. He gazed at the starless sky and continued grinding.
Even though the stone platforms couldn't harm him, Miaomiao believed that he might gain something if he continued on.
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
The platforms attempted to kill him, but his soul physique resisted the power.
Miaomiao gained nothing. His combat potential also remained the same.
He was disappointed. He thought that the pagoda tower couldn't refine his body anymore.
Since the pagoda couldn't benefit him, Miaomiao turned his attention to his Soul Sentinels, who had recently evolved into Transcendent Sentinels.
"Anyone wants to refine their soul and body? How about I summon you out to give it a try?"
Hearing Miaomiao's invitation, Xie Tian volunteered to come out.
Miaomiao opened a portal and let Xie Tian out to the plane. As soon as Xie Tian stepped on one of the platforms, his physical body was instantly destroyed.
BOOM
Several minutes later, Xie Tian was resurrected. He scratched his head, embarrassed.
Miaomiao laughed at Xie Tian, "Dafuq, Xie Tian? You're a freaking deity. How did you die because of this simple trap?!"
"Master, this platform contains the power of Destruction and Resurrection Dao. I don't cultivate dark arts and negative karma, so I can adapt to the power of destruction as quickly as you."
"Then, why don't you travel the platforms and get familiarize to the changes?"
"I'll try."
Xie Tian rushed the flying stairs, only to get himself killed over and over again.
After Xie Tian died 30 times, he decided to summon all his sentinels to try as well.
Yan Jiao, Xie Qingtian, a dozen of old men, a hundred pseudo-deities, and two world-destroying peerless beauties with white jade skin appeared.
All of them were Xie Tian's sentinels!
Miaomiao was already aware of their existence. Most of them were the counterparts of Xie Tian's friends in the other timelines, especially the two gorgeous ladies.
One of them was Adam's adopted daughter, who had been living on the outskirt of the Xie Clan's city. As for the other, she was the princess' best friend.
Harem characters always came in a package. It seemed that Xie Tian got the 1+1 deal when he was out of Miaomiao's sight.
Although Miaomiao was jealous of his women's luck, he decided to respect Xie Tian by not making a move on his women regardless of their backgrounds. After all, Miaomiao already banged Xie Tian's aunt, so he needed to avoid offending this guy.
This uncle-in-law vowed to be honest and upright!
However, it would have been a waste not to inspect those women's anatomy by summoning their clones in Isolated Training Space for a skinship sparring match…
No, no. Xu Chu and Wei Yuan would tell on him for sure. That was not a good idea.
Miaomiao shook his head to get rid of his useless thoughts. He then summoned other sentinels out to train them.
200 days might not be that long, but it was a great opportunity that they shouldn't miss. Miaomiao forced them to work for once.
Days quickly passed by. Miaomiao and his followers spent their days on the platforms and refined their soul physique.
…
Eden Garden Initiate Peak
Sun Bin, Grand Elder Rah, Grand Elder Mu, candidates, initiates, and spectators had been waiting for Miaomiao to finish the first test for two days.
After the countdown was over, Miaomiao was finally kicked out of the plane.
As soon as Miaomiao came out, the first words he uttered shocked the crowd.
"NOOOO! Give me another day, please!!"
The crowd was speechless. What was he doing in there for two days?
Xie Lian flew toward Miaomiao. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the latter's face, "What the hell were you thinking? What were you doing in there for two days on the 100th floor?"
"Huh? The 100th floor?"
"Yeah. Everybody here could see where you were in the pagoda. After the first 24 hours, you stayed on the top floor without moving anywhere for a whole day. What did you do? Jacking off to the sky and paint the void with your semen?"
Miaomiao stuck out his tongue, "Actually, I have been cultivating. Check my cultivation base."
"…"
Xie Lian grabbed Miaomiao's wrist and checked his pulse and Qi flow.
Upon sensing the abnormal physique, Xie Lian widened his eyes.
"Not bad! Not bad at all!"
Xie Lian patted Miaomiao's back several times as he was proud of him.
While Xie Lian and Miaomiao had been chatting, Sun Bin coughed and interrupted them.
"Ahem. Now that junior Mao has come out, it's time to proceed to the second round of the assessment examination. On this round, all qualified candidates and initiates will compete in a treasure hunt on our secret plane."
Sun Bin brought out a strange chili plant, which produced mandragora-like chilies. Currently, it was sealed by a strange yellowish talisman.
"This is Fiery Yang Mandragora Plant. To pass the second round, you must harvest a mandragora from this plant and bring it to one of the staff deacons in that realm. Aside from that, there is no rule."
In short, aside from acquiring the mandragora, anything was okay.
Miaomiao widely smiled and rubbed his hands, looking forward to killing random idiots and 3rd-rated villains.
But Xie Lian suddenly sent a sound transmission to him.
'Hold your horses, fuck boy. Do you know how to harvest that mandragora?'
Miaomiao raised his brows and tried to remember the details and the experience of Xie Tian in the other timelines. It was faint since Miaomiao didn't pay much attention to alchemy and herbology, but he believed that the perfect protagonist, Xie Tian, might know.
Still, it wasn't hurt to listen to an elder.
'I don't. Please teach me.'
Xie Lian let out a sigh of relief, 'It's good to see that you're not being conceited or overconfident. Now, listen. Fiery Yang Mandragora will scream and attack any cultivator on sight. They can use Fire Element Providence, and those who are weak against the fire attribute will be weeded out in this test. First, you need to talk to the deacons in there and request a fire-proof robe from them. They will lend you an artifact that can resist the Fire Element Providence Qi. Then, you can start approaching the mandragoras. Also, when you harvest it…'
Xie Lian went on and on.
Meanwhile, Miaomiao inwardly smiled as he found this test a walk in the park.
'Fire Element Providence? Hehehe.'
…
30 minutes after the briefing session was over, 300 initiates and 2,000 candidates were directly teleported into a strange green plane with no tree but small plants.
Out of many candidates and initiates, only 2,300 people managed to qualify. As for the rest, they entered a different plane for a different test, which could potentially result in either a demotion or expulsion.
Miaomiao gazed at the green plane. He sensed a déjà vu as he missed the day when he entered the Myriad Cauldron Sect's secret plane and met Hopea.
He wondered if Hopea and others were doing well in OG-Buddha's territory. Had they become monks already?
While Miaomiao's mind went to Lalaland, Horus ambushed him. The falcon-man jumped in the air and delivered a falcon punch to his face.
BOOM
The punch landed on Miaomiao's nose.
"Ah?" Miaomiao's head leaned backward slightly. He frowned at Horus in a bad mood.
It didn't hurt, but the impact annoyed him.
Horus was also shocked. His punch packed the power of a 35-star stellar constellation immortal. Although it was not his full force, it was enough to kill any 20-star constellation immortal with one hit!
"What's the matter with you?"
Miaomiao's mind was blank. He raised his hand and slapped Horus' face once as if he lightly bitch-slap a thot.
PA
Horus was sent flying to the sky and entered the void. He didn't even have a chance to say anything.
The impact was so loud, and Miaomiao's hand emitted white smoke. The slapper only glanced at his hand in confusion.
"That slap was weak. I thought I used enough force to kill that motherfucker. Oh well, I need to spar more to get the right feeling."
The other candidates, initiates, and deacons overheard Miaomiao's remarks. They sweated profusely as they knew who Horus was.
That was a 35-Star Stellar Constellation Immortal!
Yet, Horus was KOed in one hit, and Miaomiao called it a weak slap?
Pan Mei's eyelids twitched as he watched the entire scene unfold. He recalled a certain bald hero, who became invincible because of his daily workout routine.
'Motherfucker. Are you One-Punch Man?! I definitely have to report this stupid bug!'
While Pan Mei was at it, he also checked Miaomiao's cultivation base and status. Then, he discovered a shocking truth.
Now, Miaomiao's cultivation base caught up to him!
Pan Mei narrowed his eyes. He stared at Miaomiao's role.
NPC Antagonist.
This implied a lot of things. Miaomiao could be the main antagonist in the game's storyline, or he might be a common hostile NPC.
'Should I try to kill him? The game is in alpha test, so I should test the NPC's intelligence and reactions. Well, it won't hurt to try since I can revive at the save point. Maybe I can get a few titles or rare items from him.'
Pan Mei glanced at his notification panel, which contained the log of the past events.
He eyed at one line, which indicated a hostile act.
<You have been cursed by Mao Miaomiao's Mysterious Dao.>
Pan Mei gritted his teeth as he rechecked his status once more. An icon of a donkey face, sticking its tongue out, had been lingering there.
When Pan Mei touched the system screen on the icon, the detail was revealed.
…
Mysterious Dao Curse LV.1
Your intelligence and IQ are temporarily decreased by 10% when this debuff is active. This curse can only be removed when you are no longer competing against Mao Miaomiao.
This curse may improve to level 2 if you're in a hostile relationship with Mao Miaomiao.
…
'What the fuck is this curse?!'
