Transmigrated into a Novel as the Villain, the Heroines' Character Settings Have All Changed

The Empress's expression turned grave.

She recalled her past life. When her position as Empress had been threatened, it was Ye Xuan who had helped her consolidate her imperial throne.

After all, she was also a heroine. In theory, she was supposed to play the role of someone who liked Ye Xuan.

Who would have thought that, in Ye Xuan's eyes, she was merely a tool for providing resources?

Later, when she encountered villains, she had nearly died. Ye Xuan had fled without hesitation.

At the critical moment, Xu Chen had stepped in and dragged her back from the gates of hell.

Her peerlessly beautiful face lifted slightly. "Chen, the Academy Grand Competition is imminent. In this life, let this Empress protect you."

At this time, two princesses and several princes shared the Empress's thoughts.

The two princesses were both the Empress's younger sisters: Princess Yun Yao and Princess Feng Yang.

As for the princes, upon hearing the news, their eyes shone brilliantly.

Jixia Academy was located within the Heavenly Venerate Dynasty, yet it had produced two such heaven-defying geniuses.

They had entered as Third Rank cultivators, and in just one month, they had already reached the Fourth Rank.

With talent like this, they had to be recruited.

"Many who graduate from Jixia Academy come to serve the Heavenly Venerate Dynasty."

"I need to hurry over and take these two under my wing. I can't let someone else beat me to the prize."

Upon hearing this, the many princes and princesses secretly began preparing gifts.

They only waited for ten days later, when they would personally head to Jixia Academy and invite the two to join the royal family after graduation.

At this moment, in order to avoid being disturbed by the many heroines, Xu Chen returned and began cultivating directly.

"I have to say, as the protagonist, Ye Xuan's pill-refining skills are truly beyond reproach."

Xu Chen took out a Spirit Nether Pill and examined it closely as he spoke.

This pill did not possess the slightest flaw. It was of supreme quality.

If he swallowed it, he would immediately enter the Ethereal Realm, and his cultivation efficiency would soar.

Its effects would last for roughly a day.

"Disciple, have you cultivated any martial arts?"

Just then, Han Di came by again and asked Xu Chen.

When he saw that Xu Chen had already advanced to a Fifth Rank body, he secretly nodded as well.

This kid truly was born for body cultivation.

Xu Chen shook his head and played along. "No."

In his memories, he did have some—countless of them, in fact.

But he was currently playing the role of a new student.

Right now, he should not know any martial arts at all.

Han Di smiled. "Here, two martial arts manuals, along with several Fourth Rank Spirit Body Pills and one Fifth Rank Mysterious Body Pill.

They're all for tempering the body, and these two martial arts are body-refining arts as well.

Read through them yourself first. If there's anything you don't understand, ask me."

After saying that, Han Di handed the martial arts manuals to Xu Chen, then left directly.

He looked every bit like someone who firmly believed Xu Chen could handle it.

Xu Chen began looking through them. The martial arts of the world were divided into the Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow Four Ranks, with low, middle, and high grades within each rank.

Above the Heaven Rank was the Saint Rank, and above the Saint Rank was the Emperor Rank.

The first was called the Mountain Shaking Fist, a mid-grade Black Rank martial art created by Han Di himself.

When this fist technique was cultivated to its peak, it could shake mountains and shatter them with a single punch.

The other was the God Severing Leg, a high-grade Black Rank martial art created by someone else.

This leg technique was swift as lightning and moved like thunder, possessing both speed and power.

But its flaw was the same as the Seven Injuries Fist: part of its force would injure the user.

To avoid injury, one had to strengthen the body. A Fourth Rank body was required to cultivate it.

If one reached the Fifth Rank or above, one could unleash its power freely without suffering martial art backlash.

"I remember that, during the competition, that bastard Ye Xuan has an Earth Rank martial art."

"Even though I can't beat him, the plot still has to proceed. I need to practice whatever should be practiced."

Xu Chen chuckled.

Having made up his mind, Xu Chen began swallowing all sorts of pills and practicing the two martial arts.

Just like that, ten days passed.

During those ten days, Xu Chen completely absorbed the medicinal power of the spirit medicines and broke through to the Late-stage Fourth Rank.

The Mountain Shaking Fist and God Severing Leg were also thoroughly mastered by Xu Chen.

He had become so proficient that they seemed like memories etched into his mind.

Boom!

Xu Chen threw a punch, and the ground shattered, cracking inch by inch like a spiderweb.

He then swept out with a whip kick. In an instant, he unleashed ninety-nine whip kicks, their sounds ringing out without end.

"Not bad. Today is the day of the competition."

He twisted his neck, and crackling sounds erupted from within.

After loosening his muscles and bones and taking a bath, Xu Chen headed straight for the Training Ground.

Since this competition was being held between the various academies, the seating areas were divided according to academy.

Xu Chen arrived at the Body Dao Academy and casually found a seat.

"Today, there absolutely can't be any accidents."

Xu Chen was brimming with confidence.

His body should have reached the strength of the Late-stage Fourth Rank.

Ye Xuan should now be at the Mid-stage Fourth Rank as well. With an Earth Rank martial art, defeating him would not be a problem.

He looked up and immediately spotted Palace Lord Shangguan Luoyun and Luoshen, the Empress of the Heavenly Venerate Dynasty.

He also saw the Empress's two younger sisters, Princess Yun Yao and Princess Feng Yang, as well as the princes of the Heavenly Venerate Dynasty.

But what was slightly strange was that Empress Luoshen, Yun Yao, Feng Yang, and the two Palace Lords were all looking at him.

The corners of their lips slowly curved upward, and there was even a trace of delight in their eyes.

Xu Chen's teeth ached. Those looks were far too familiar.

They looked exactly like the gazes of heroines after they had gone off the rails!

Immediately afterward, he watched in utter confusion as Yun Yao and Feng Yang flew toward him.

His mouth fell slightly open. Don't come over here!

PS: Eight updates!!! Please support with all kinds of data!!! I was thinking about the plot today, so I wrote slowly. I'm stuck, and I'm not satisfied with the plot I came up with, so I'm rethinking it!!! If I can't update today, I'll make it up tomorrow. There won't be any fewer updates!

Xu Chen went numb.

One heroine flying over was one thing, but two of them?

With that one flight, he instantly became the focus of the entire venue. The hatred he drew would definitely explode.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Yun Yao and Feng Yang quickly arrived beside Xu Chen.

Both women wore palace robes, with silk ribbons of different colors draped around them, coiling and dancing like Heaven-Mixing Silk.

Their exquisite figures, paired with their peerless beauty and the faint fragrance wafting from them, instantly set people's imaginations running wild.
