Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 466 - 241 Major Version Update! The Soul Fighting Leaderboard is Released! (6000 words)_3
"[Heavy reward for a child! Years ago, I married into an ancient family, but my husband unfortunately became infertile due to an accident. We have tried with other blood relatives in his clan without success. Out of desperation, I am now seeking a brief liaison. Upon success, a handsome reward is guaranteed! (Image) (Image)]"
DING!
[Detected someone boasting nearby. Congratulations, Host, you have gained Mana +55!]
"Is there really such a good deal?"
"Fairy, I am willing to share your burdens!"
"..."
Wang Xiu was speechless. In a forest this large, you’re bound to find all sorts of birds.
This chat group was a mess, full of scam advertisements. Who knew what kind of fool would actually believe them. Fortunately, none of this concerned Wang Xiu; he was only here to farm rewards!
Although the Mana provided by the cultivators in the group wasn’t much, the sheer volume was undeniable. Wang Xiu could clearly feel his Cultivation Level progressing. For someone who had already reached the Eighth Heaven of the Nascent Soul Stage, this kind of progress was exceptionally rare. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
It was well known that even the prodigies of the Great Immortal Gates could spend years, or even decades, just to advance a little at this stage. Cultivators had long lifespans, but that didn’t mean they could be squandered. A Nascent Soul Stage Venerable could live for over a thousand years! But how many, even as their lives drew to a close, struggled to take even a single step forward in this Realm? In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years could turn to dust.
"Oh, right!" Wang Xiu suddenly remembered something and said to Mo Wuwei, "I’ve redesigned a batch of levels and stored them in this Jade Talisman. I must trouble you to make a trip, Senior Sister Mo."
"New levels?" Mo Wuwei was taken aback. She instinctively opened the Jade Talisman to inspect it and immediately covered her mouth in surprise. "This is... the Demon Race?"
"Exactly!" Wang Xiu nodded with a smile. "I’ve had close encounters with these Demonic Beasts before, so I have some understanding. It should help everyone familiarize themselves more quickly with the enemy we’re about to face!"
"It certainly will. Junior Brother, you’ve been so thoughtful!" Mo Wuwei praised, her eyes shimmering with admiration as she looked at Wang Xiu.
The version on the Soul Fighting Machine needed an update. This new content not only included more monsters from the Demon Race but also added a war mode to the levels. It allowed larger teams of cultivators to challenge the massive armies of the Demon Race, better simulating wartime scenarios.
In addition to this, Wang Xiu added the Soul Fighting Rankings! It ranked all cultivators who left behind data from their attempts in the Soul Fighting Machine; the more levels passed, the higher the rank. Wang Xiu knew well that such a ranking system could greatly stimulate the cultivators’ drive to clear the levels.
It sounded simple, but figuring out the details and implementing everything Wang Xiu wanted through the medium of Daoist Texts was an incredibly difficult task. No one had ever done it before, so Wang Xiu had no precedent to follow. He could only rely on himself, slowly researching and blazing a new trail. It was not easy.
...
Mo Wuwei departed. In a world without the internet, there were obviously no online updates. Fortunately, Wang Xiu had anticipated this and prepared a backup plan. He just needed to inscribe the runes and Daoist Texts from the Jade Talisman into the master Formation at the Battle Spirit Internet Cafe. When cultivators brought their Soul Fighting Machines inside, the Formation would scan them, and the update would happen automatically.
Before long, the Soul Fighting Machine’s new content sparked widespread discussion.
"Heavens, the Soul Fighting Machine has been updated! There are new monsters inside—it’s the Demon Race!"
"HISS... Really? Are these from the Demon Race the same as the real ones?"
"I don’t know about the others, but that Tree Demon is unmistakable. I once fought a Tree Demon. My father and brothers died at its hands. I would never misidentify it!"
"How terrifying! The Sanqing Saint Heir is playing the long game!"
The crowd gasped, inhaling sharply in shock. The vast majority of cultivators had never actually encountered the true Demon Race, only hearing stories about them. Under such circumstances, if they were to rashly engage the Demon Race in battle, the outcome would undoubtedly be paid in blood. But now, they could fight the Demon Race within the Soul Fighting Machine, learn their traits, and discover their weaknesses...
...
「Longhu Immortal Sect.」
Inside the newly built internet cafe, Zhang Yuge and a group of fellow disciples were teaming up to grind levels.
"These are so tough... How are we supposed to deal with these Tree Demons? They have countless roots that regenerate after being cut. Lightning and fire can counter them, but it’s hard to kill them completely!"
"One Tree Demon is manageable, but with so many of them forming a dense forest, it’s like hell itself!"
"Thank goodness this isn’t a real battlefield. Otherwise, how many people would have died?"
A group of True Disciples lamented, their eyes filled with lingering fear. The methods of the Demon Race were stranger than anything they had ever seen before. If this were a real battlefield, they probably would have had to sacrifice a hundred lives just to understand the Tree Demon’s characteristics and weaknesses. This was a far cry from the current situation, where they only needed to expend a few insignificant wisps of soul power, which could be recovered after a night’s sleep.
"Stop wasting time! An opportunity like this is priceless. Let’s go again! We have to find this bastard’s fatal weakness today!" Zhang Yuge, filled with fighting spirit, led the team back into the fray.
In the adjacent booth, the high-ranking members of the Longhu Immortal Sect, including the Lingxu Hall Master, were gathered together, their expressions grave.
"That boy, Wang Xiu... his merit is immeasurable!" the Lingxu Hall Master exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, his gaze immensely complex.
The others exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. Many of them were survivors of past great wars and had fought the Demon Race face-to-face, so they were quite familiar with their traits. But their understanding had been bought with the lives of countless fellow disciples. That experience was incredibly precious.
