Villain Seduces to Rise in Status

Cale emerged from the residence with a shine radiating from his entire being, a grin stretching ear to ear. Elon’s eyes narrowed immediately—he’d sensed it. That cold woman wouldn’t acknowledge most people, let alone have a private conversation lasting over an hour.

”What were you two talking about?” Elon asked, his voice carrying barely concealed suspicion.

Cale smiled smoothly. ”Nothing much. Just got to know that we had some acquaintances here and there.”

Elon stared harder, clearly unconvinced.

Then his eyes widened as they caught sight of the hickeys scattered across Cale’s neck—visible proof of what had transpired behind closed doors.

This Guy!

This Fucking Guy!

’This guy seduced the goddess of the academy, I swear it. I’ll follow him as my master for life. Maybe he’ll teach me something useful in passing.’

Cale, watching the expressions flicker across Elon’s face, thought with amusement: ’What’s going on in that idiot’s brain? Never mind.’

Over the next several days, Cale began practicing what xianxia cultivators called seated cultivation.

He was obviously excited for this, after all this time, now was the academy generous enough to pay attention to it.

But with his 3x multiplier, the discovery of simultaneous qi and mana absorption, and the Great Dao of Natural Balance storing energy constantly, his effective cultivation speed was nearly five times faster than normal practitioners.

The problem was his base technique—still using basic foundational methods. The system hadn’t provided him a proper shut-in cultivation technique yet, which frustrated him to no end.

The following day, he won another duel.

This time was different, better. He’d defeated someone from the Low Advance stage—someone with a higher realm than his own.

From the shadows, Scythe watched him claim victory. Her expression softened slightly, a rare moment of happiness crossing her features. She took in his new physique, the visible muscle development, the refined technique. She nodded to herself, quickly recorded her observations, and vanished without a trace.

Inside his dorm room, Cale practiced basic sword draws, his movements becoming increasingly fluid with each repetition. His recent victories had earned him training time, which meant fewer interruptions from academy duties.

’The D-day is approaching. Might as well dedicate everything to training now.’

He was actually enjoying this—the constant progression, the tangible improvements. Then it happened.

The energy around him surged violently, entering his core and spinning like a tornado. His entire body convulsed involuntarily. He forced himself to remain calm, eventually settling into a seated position and closing his eyes.

Minutes passed.

Then came the real surprise:

[REWARD UNLOCKED: CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE]

[Supreme Nihility Chaos Genesis Scripture - Soulbound to Host]

Cale’s breath caught. Finally!! A proper technique instead of this basic garbage he’d been using.

[TECHNIQUE DESCRIPTION]

[”Before the Heavens woke, there was only the Void. Out of Nihility, the Great Chaos was born. I grasp the Genesis, I shatter the Dao, Beneath my Supreme feet, the Gods shall fall!”]

[CREATOR: The Nameless Untethered - The First Entity of the Void]

Fate Masking: Complete invisibility to divination, karma-tracking, heavenly curses, and fate-reading.]

***

Cale stared at the description for several long minutes, processing what he was reading.

”Sigh...” He rubbed his temples. ”I don’t understand half this shit.”

He took his time, reading it again and again till his puny brain started to understand the description.

”So... some strong dude made this technique, yep, that much I understand. Heavenly dao huh? is it like the one from novels, if yes, then I guess I scored some good shit. Next is... fire? violet fire? hmm, so if cultivated enough this fire can burn pretty much anything. That’s awesome!

A domain, like those from anime? where my own will can effect the battle?

But from what I remember...doesn’t one get a domain at Emperor stage? Well, not that I’m complaining, it is always better to get it and learn it before others.

So if I reach higher levels, my attacks in my domain cannot be healed? Even nullifying damage?

Its not like it will nullify it completely right now, but it should still nullify it a bit, even a 5-10% damage reduction will help me win!

And finally, immunity to tracking and divination, along with using others’ energy as my own, well, I do have some clue to that, its something like the essence I’m making but on a higher scale.

Well, this is quite a good technique, I just hope oldies don’t come after me for such technique in future... gotta become strong quick.

Heh, lets start using it then.”
