The Female Lead's Personality Has Completely Changed After I Transmigrated into the Villain

Ye Xuan clenched his teeth, fury burning in his heart.

Xu Chen, just you wait. Once we reach the Mission Trial grounds, I'll make you pay.

With the Spirit Venerable's help over these three days, he had broken through to Mid-stage Third Rank.

More importantly, he had learned a top-grade martial art: the Heavenly Entangling Hand.

Top-grade martial arts were rare even at Jixia Academy. Xu Chen stood no chance this time.

With that thought, Ye Xuan once again sidled up to the Big Man.

Despite the stench, he endured it.

"Is everyone ready? If so, we set out for Star Cloud Forest."

Chi Lian, overseeing this mission, transmitted her voice with spiritual energy.

In an instant, every new student in the square heard her words.

"Ready."

Voices rang out as the newcomers climbed onto the backs of the flying Spirit Beasts.

"Then let's go."

Chi Lian took Xu Chen's hand and announced loudly.

In that moment, three people now sat on the Flying Divine Crane's back.

Li Ruoling's face darkened. Overloaded.

Her own martial aunt had no shame—abandoning her own mount just to squeeze in here.

Infuriating. Absolutely infuriating!

Throughout the journey, Li Ruoling's face was steeped in resentment.

Until the group arrived above Star Cloud Forest.

Here, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, towering trees stood in dense ranks.

As far as the eye could see, birds and beasts roamed freely.

PS: Seven chapters!!! Begging for all kinds of data!!!

Xu Chen looked down from above. He remembered his landing point was the Southeast Region.

There, another Female Lead awaited—a fierce and ruthless one.

"Land at random spots, but remember: only move within the forest's outer perimeter."

"The inner area has many powerful Spirit Beasts, even those above Sixth Rank. Do not venture deep."

Chi Lian instructed.

Everyone nodded, then scattered to random landing points.

As expected, Xu Chen landed in the Southeast Region.

No sooner had he touched ground than Chi Lian chuckled lightly: "I'll be gone for a bit. Be good, little Chen."

Li Ruoling thought for a moment, then added: "I have things to do too. You're free to move around for now."

Both women knew this was the outer area, so naturally there was no danger.

Thus they each departed, eager to snatch up Heavenly Material Earthly Treasures.

After all, if they didn't strike first, everything would end up in the protagonist Ye Xuan's hands.

Xu Chen couldn't be bothered. After ninety-nine lifetimes, he knew this forest like the back of his hand.

"I just need some Heavenly Material Earthly Treasures to temper my body. Being alone is fine—I just won't take the protagonist's stuff."

Xu Chen thought, constructing a map in his mind.

All the Heavenly Material Earthly Treasures appeared like stars, dotting the map one by one.

Their names, shapes, effects, whether guarded by Spirit Beasts, and how to deal with those beasts—all the information was crystal clear.

Even the distance between each treasure and himself was perfectly clear.

So he set off straight in a certain direction.

Ye Xuan watched Xu Chen's retreating back with a sneer: "Looking for Heavenly Material Earthly Treasures? He's going the wrong way. Ridiculous."

With the Spirit Venerable, his divine sense covered the entire area.

Finding spiritual herbs was very convenient.

With that thought, Ye Xuan headed in the opposite direction from Xu Chen.

Xu Chen walked on, soon digging up a Heavenly Material Earthly Treasure for body tempering: the Earth Core Lotus.

This lotus looked just like an ordinary one, but it grew underground.

The juice of the lotus petals is an excellent treasure for tempering the physical body.

"Tastes good, pretty sweet."

Xu Chen sucked on a petal as he continued searching for treasures.

About thirty minutes later, he had found most of the Heavenly Material Earthly Treasures for body tempering in the area.

"This Spirit Tempering Fruit is also quite sweet, with a rich fragrance—no wonder it's a Late-stage Fourth Rank body-tempering treasure."

"With this helping out, I don't need gale-force winds to assist in tempering; it'll be twice the result with half the effort."

Xu Chen bit into a red fruit, speaking with satisfaction.

Faintly, a golden glow began to emanate from his body again.

His whole body felt comfortable, and he sensed his physical strength rapidly increasing.

Before long, he had broken through to a new realm.

"I should be at Late-stage Third Rank physical strength now."

Xu Chen said uncertainly.

In truth, his physical strength already rivaled that of a Late-stage Fourth Rank expert.

"Hm?"

Lost in thought, he spotted people from his own Academy fighting against another faction.

They were contending over a stalk of Bellflower Grass, which also had body-tempering effects.

"Nice, a Fourth-rank Bellflower Grass."

He looked up and saw the other group clad in black robes, faint black aura wafting from their bodies.

"Demonic Cult followers—matches the Original Text."

In the Original Text, Demonic Cult Saintess Duanmu Xin led her followers into the forest to snatch things.

Duanmu Xin, at Early-stage Sixth Rank at the time, killed anyone she saw.

Later, Ye Xuan appeared, and with the help of the Spirit Venerable, he defeated Duanmu Xin.

For a moment, Duanmu Xin actually fell for Ye Xuan.

The plot was a bit brainless, but for a simple web novel, you don't overthink it.

Any beautiful woman must be taken in—this demoness Duanmu Xin was no exception.

Xu Chen focused his gaze. Duanmu Xin had an outstanding figure and extraordinary looks—a true beauty.

She excelled especially in movement techniques, weaving her attacks into her footwork, making them elusive and unpredictable.

In the blink of an eye, she could move a hundred meters and kill.

Soon, the Academy disciples from some unknown city were all slaughtered.

Then, as Xu Chen expected, Ye Xuan appeared.

"Fairy, killing our Academy's people is a bit much, don't you think?"

Ye Xuan said with a smile.

Duanmu Xin looked at Ye Xuan, a flicker of disgust in her eyes.

This protagonist had come—finally.

Today, she wanted to see if she could kill him.

If she could, it would make things much easier for Xu Chen.

So she said coldly, "Die."

Without another word, she struck at Ye Xuan the moment she saw him.
