Killing You Is For Your Own Good

Boom!

Ji Xinyu's long sword, like a bursting thunderclap, thrust forward fiercely.

Fast!

Too fast!

So fast that Jiang Chuan had no time to react before Ji Xinyu pierced his heart with a single sword strike.

"Killing you is for your own good. I, Ji Xinyu, am a prodigy among the younger generation of the Nine Heavens Palace! Becoming my disciple or Dao companion is something countless cultivators in the Qingyuan Realm dream of. I don't understand why you resist?" Ji Xinyu's voice was filled with confusion, anticipation, and an unconcealable arrogance.

"For my own good? You're just doing it for yourself, hypocrite!"

Jiang Chuan raised his monk's sabre, glared at Ji Xinyu, and roared, "Also, I don't need you to tell me what to do!"

"No one in this world can tell me what to do!!"

"Not even God!!!"

As Jiang Chuan spoke, he swung his sabre again.

The divine ability, Demon Slaying Saber, reached an unprecedented peak in Jiang Chuan's hands.

The blood-red blade light, like the death light surging from an endless purgatory, exuded a soul-stirring killing intent as it slashed towards Ji Xinyu.

Ji Xinyu once again unleashed the Thunderclap Sword to meet it.

Boom!

The instant the roar sounded, a crisp voice appeared in Jiang Chuan's mind.

[You died in battle with Ji Xinyu, pierced through the heart by her.]

[This romance simulation has failed.]

All the scenes before Jiang Chuan's eyes vanished.

The cramped room, the wooden table with a lit candle, and the Ruyi Heart Sutra on the table reappeared in Jiang Chuan's sight.

"I wonder if that strike killed Ji Xinyu? The chances are probably slim. As a prodigy of the Nine Heavens Palace's younger generation, Ji Xinyu likely has other means."

Recalling his fight with Ji Xinyu, Jiang Chuan realized the gap between himself and the true geniuses of the major sects.

"Ji Xinyu is strong, but I will become stronger, strong enough to kill you in the simulation!"

Jiang Chuan clenched his fists, his gaze firm, and spoke word by word.

At this moment, his longing and unwillingness surged within him like a prairie wildfire!

Then, Jiang Chuan began to take stock of his gains from this simulation.

Although he didn't receive any simulation rewards this time, he obtained the Void Devouring Scripture and the Demon Slaying Saber, one of the thirty-six divine abilities of Bodhi Temple.

Especially the final battle with Ji Xinyu, which allowed him to successfully cultivate the Demon Slaying Saber to minor accomplishment.

Coupled with the whereabouts of the Dragon Transformation Venerable's cave dwelling, and some collected information on the fairies of the Qingyuan Realm.

Jiang Chuan felt that this simulation had yielded considerable rewards.

A wave of sleepiness then washed over him, and Jiang Chuan prepared to sleep.

Before turning off the light, looking at the night scene outside the window, Jiang Chuan felt as if he had forgotten something.

"Never mind, I won't think about it. I'll rest early, I have work to do tomorrow."

The next morning, amidst Jing Hui's angry roar, Jiang Chuan finally remembered what he had forgotten.

"Jiang Chuan! You scoundrel! I chopped firewood all night!"

"Three thousand jin! Do you know how much three thousand jin of firewood is?!"

"Firewood piled as high as a small mountain, and you made me chop it all alone!"

"Jiang Chuan! Where is your conscience?! Did you feed it to the demons?!"

Jing Hui, his monk's robes soaked with sweat, roared incessantly at Jiang Chuan, who was still groggy from sleep.

"Senior Brother, calm down. I'll definitely remember next time."

"You think there'll be a next time?"

Jing Hui's eyes widened like copper bells, and he grabbed Jiang Chuan's shoulders, looking as if he wanted to devour him.

"There won't be a next time, absolutely no next time," Jiang Chuan quickly promised.

Jing Hui released his grip on Jiang Chuan's shoulders and continued, "How do you plan to resolve this matter this time?"

"Senior Brother, how do you want to resolve it?" Jiang Chuan threw the question back to Jing Hui.

"There are still half a month before the Warrior Monk Institute assessment. You're responsible for the White Jade Rice for these next two weeks."

"Three days."

"Three days?!"

Jing Hui's eyes widened again. "Jiang Chuan, how dare you say that? At least twelve days!"

Jiang Chuan spoke with a blank expression, "Four days."

"Jiang Chuan, I chopped firewood all night yesterday. Ten days at the very least!"

"Five days."

Jiang Chuan picked up the bright yellow monk's robe by the bed and put it on.

"Senior Brother, think about it. You're only tired for one night, and in return, you get five mornings of sleeping in. Isn't this a great deal?"

"Besides, this was just your junior brother forgetting. I believe with your broadmindedness that can embrace all rivers, you won't hold it against your junior brother and take too much advantage of him, right?"

Hearing Jiang Chuan's flattery, Jing Hui's lips curved upwards.

"Embrace all rivers, you're right. My mind is indeed that expansive! Five days it is, then."

"Then Senior Brother, please rest well. Junior Brother will go harvest rice."

After speaking, Jiang Chuan picked up the green-skinned gourd containing the Spirit Ginseng Body Tempering Pill and walked out of the room.

In the early morning, the Great Sun cast its golden afterglow, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees.

Looking in the direction of the sandalwood forest in the distance, Jiang Chuan poured out a dragon's eye-sized, yellowish-brown Spirit Ginseng Body Tempering Pill from the gourd and swallowed it in one gulp.

If there were cultivators with powerful divine senses, they would surely be astonished to see Jiang Chuan at this moment.

Because, at this moment, Jiang Chuan was like a colossal black hole, continuously inhaling and exhaling the vital energy of heaven and earth.

Spiritual energy was merely one type of vital energy. Besides spiritual energy, there were also Great Sun Vitality, Star Vitality, Five Elements Vitality, killing intent, malevolent aura, and more.

For vital energies like killing intent and malevolent aura, if absorbed directly into the body without cultivating specific techniques, it would be no different from ingesting potent poison.

Suffering severe damage to one's vital energy would be the least of the consequences!

Absorbing more than ten types of vital energy simultaneously, like Jiang Chuan, was like an old man courting death by trying to hang himself!

And this was the terrifying aspect of the Void Devouring Scripture, which could devour all things, tangible and intangible!

Any vital energy of heaven and earth, after being devoured by the Void Devouring Scripture, would be transformed into the cultivator's mana.

"Second Realm! Breakthrough!"

As Jiang Chuan spoke, invisible mana surged out from his body, like a cluster of invisible flames, enveloping and tempering his physique.

When he arrived at the rice fields, Jiang Chuan's muscle definition was even more pronounced, and he exuded a sense of power.

Feeling the strength within his body, Jiang Chuan smiled.

"Successfully broken through to the Second Realm. The Void Devouring Scripture truly lives up to its reputation as a technique comparable to the core inheritances of major powers. Compared to cultivating the Bodhi Qi Refining Art in my previous simulations, my strength has at least doubled upon reaching the Second Realm."

"However, I still have to do my work."

Jiang Chuan sighed lightly, then took out a sickle from his storage bag, rolled up his trouser legs, and entered the paddy field, rapidly harvesting the White Jade Rice.

He cut down swathes of White Jade Rice. Jiang Chuan shouldered a large bundle of White Jade Rice and sprinted towards the handyman's courtyard under the scorching sun, his thoughts constantly racing.

"Even a prodigy from a major sect like Ji Xinyu is still fixated on Dragon Transformation Venerable's cave mansion. In my next simulation, I'll go unlock Dragon Transformation Venerable's cave mansion first."

"Without a key, my only option is to inform the Bodhi Temple, so that the Abbot or the elders can open Dragon Transformation Venerable's cave mansion."

Jiang Chuan felt the helplessness of his insufficient strength once again, and at the same time, his desire for power grew.

"I hope the inheritance and treasures left by Dragon Transformation Venerable can help me kill Ji Xinyu in the simulation!"

At the same time, Jiang Chuan also silently prayed that after opening the cave mansion, he wouldn't be left with only some broken junk that no one wanted.
