Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 332 - 207: The Prides of Heaven Like Numerous Stars! Nanzhou’s Reputation MAX! (7300 words)_3
They were like night and day.
Since entering the Holy Realm, he hadn’t shown the slightest hint of being extraordinary. If he hadn’t just unleashed that blush-inducing Divine Skill, no one would have even noticed him.
Without being told, who would believe this man was a descendant of a Saint, just like Ye Guhong? Even his own sect members were probably too embarrassed to mention it, right?
There’s no harm without comparison.
Rumor had it that he’d been unambitious since youth. As a second-generation scion of a Saint, shouldering the glory of his Sect, he never thought about cultivation. His mind was only on women. He would chase any woman he laid eyes on. With his status, courting any woman should have been simple. But the moment he succeeded, he would lose all interest and refuse to even touch them.
The depth of his affection while in pursuit was matched only by the depth of his heartlessness once he’d won them over. He would immediately turn his attention to the next conquest.
Soon, his reputation was in tatters. Everyone knew what kind of person this Saint’s scion was. Worse, he had no achievements in cultivation. The Sect elders, thoroughly disappointed, withdrew their support. But he continued to do as he pleased, seemingly unconcerned about anything.
Gradually, no one paid him any attention.
"He certainly lives a carefree life," Wang Xiu laughed after hearing Guan Shanyue’s description.
"Give me a break!" Guan Shanyue scoffed, clearly disagreeing. Then, he didn’t forget to add, "Junior Brother Wang Xiu, you’d better tell Junior Brother Huang to be careful. Don’t let that guy lead him astray!"
The surrounding prodigies shared the same sentiment. They felt he was a disappointment who wasted his resources and talent—hopeless mud that couldn’t be shaped into a wall. Someone they wanted to keep their distance from.
Li Zuoyue and the others exchanged strange glances upon hearing this. Lead him astray? Who’s to say who would be corrupting whom? 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Wang Xiu glanced at Pu Sanlang from afar. Focusing his Qi-gazing vision, he keenly sensed a peculiar rune within Pu Sanlang’s body, representing another Divine Skill. It seemed to be newly comprehended, yet he hadn’t revealed it. It pulsed with an indescribably ancient and exceptionally profound aura.
Clearly, this man wasn’t the lost cause everyone made him out to be.
However, Wang Xiu didn’t rush to make contact. From the looks of it, Huang Yunchong would have much better luck interacting with him than he would.
"I only like women who don’t like me. The others are too easy to chase, it’s boring... Doing anything with them is just dull! But I don’t want to force the ones who aren’t interested..." Pu Sanlang and Huang Yunchong hit it off immediately, swapping opinions as if they were long-lost brothers.
"Brother Pu, have you ever tried chasing our Senior Sister Luo? After all, she doesn’t look like an easy target..." Huang Yunchong suggested.
"Brother, do you take me for a masochist? She would actually beat me up. I’m talking beat me so bad I couldn’t even walk..." Pu Sanlang scoffed.
Huang Yunchong nodded in profound agreement. That woman... perhaps only Junior Brother Wang Xiu could conquer her.
Suddenly, an idea struck him and his eyes lit up. "Brother Pu, have you ever heard of... brothels? The women there will never genuinely like you, but... as long as you pay, they’ll do anything!"
Pu Sanlang’s eyes narrowed slightly. "Elaborate."
...
The area was now bustling with activity. Nearly every prodigy had finished their comprehension and were gathered in heated discussion.
"Senior Brother, what do you think of my Divine Skill? This Roc... isn’t it huge?"
"Hah, not even a tenth as impressive as mine! Let me show you what I’ve got..."
[DING!]
[Nearby boasting detected. Congratulations to the Host for acquiring Mana +75!]
"My Sea-Burning Frenzy is infinitely powerful. Once unleashed, even I’m scared of it!"
"That’s nothing. I have a sword art, Thousand Year Kill, that touches upon the Domain of time! It can shatter the sun, moon, and stars, and slice through a millennium of history. My Cultivation Level is just too shallow to unleash its full power right now. Just wait a few hundred years! My name is guaranteed a spot on the Nanzhou Great Ability List!"
[DING!]
[Nearby boasting detected. Congratulations to the Host for acquiring Mana +99!]
"All those offensive Divine Skills... once you’ve seen a few, they’re all the same. Behold my Divine Skill—the Ultimate Grass Barrier! Once I unleash it, a field of grass stretches to the heavens, endless and undying... No matter how peerless your attacks are, I will remain invincible!"
[DING!]
[Nearby boasting detected. Congratulations to the Host for acquiring Mana +233!]
"..."
This was an extremely grand opportunity. Almost everyone had gained something.
At first, most of them intended to conceal their new abilities, not wanting to reveal all their cards. But as more and more people began to show off, they couldn’t hold back any longer. The minds of the young work in similar ways. They all wanted to show off, especially with so many female cultivators present.
However, they soon realized a sobering truth. An opportunity for one person is a great boon. An opportunity for everyone is no opportunity at all. You comprehended a Divine Skill? So did everyone else. And theirs might even be better than yours. The gap between them couldn’t be widened!
Some prodigies who had been fantasizing about jumping several spots on the Golden Core Ranking fell into despair at this realization. They immediately abandoned such chaotic thoughts. Instead, they began preparing to break through their current Realm and advance directly to the Nascent Soul Realm.
BOOM! Wang Xiu’s aura burst forth, climbing continuously.
In just half a month of studying the Daoist Texts, his Cultivation Level had already risen significantly. Combined with the Mana from this recent boasting session, his Realm broke through again and again! He had reached the Ninth Heaven of the Golden Core Realm. He was half a step away from the Nascent Soul Realm!
In terms of cultivation, Wang Xiu had now caught up to the main pack, putting him on par with the top-tier prodigies of Nanzhou.
Keep in mind, the Ancient Sanctuary had been open for less than half a year.
Although the Cultivation Levels of most prodigies were surging, none were as terrifying as Wang Xiu’s. He had ascended almost an entire major Realm.
If he wished, he could condense his Nascent Soul at any time.
Of course, true to form, he preferred to let things happen passively.
