Cultivating As A Side Character

In the world of the heavens, there are an elite few in history who transcend the word "genius." They rise through the ranks of cultivation with unparalleled speed, perform feats that defy common sense on a regular basis, and generally educate all who cross their path on just what it means for the difference between two cultivators to be as the difference between heaven and earth. This…is NOT their story. Xu Zuhui has never been considered a genius, or particularly talented, though no one would call him a failure either—no small feat in the cutthroat world of VRMMOs, the dominant form of entertainment on a dying Earth. Indeed, he is one of the lucky few to escape the terrible, ruined real world by uploading to a persistent virtual world based on the world of Cultivation. But though his new body and new life comes with substantial perks, he will soon discover there are substantial risks as well. He’s far from the only strong talent in this new world, and few such people are happy to welcome more into their ranks. In what was supposed to be a virtual world, Xu Zuhui will soon find that the stakes he’s fighting for are very real…and he’ll have to become very strong indeed to survive the events the real hero of this world will inevitably drag him into.

Body Tempering

There was only one option left to claim victory. I struck at its unprotected weak point with one more Death Adder Sword Strike, in the process making it impossible for me to withdraw beyond its reach in time to avoid its next blow, even with my movement technique. Instead, I barely managed to get my own sword in the way of the scimitar already heading for me. There was no way I was going to parry it, or even do better than slow it down a little, but at this point, I had to hope that slowing it with a block would be enough for it to not instantly kill me.

The black, glassy blade knocked my own sword aside and impacted my soul barrier and body with it, blowing me clear to the other end of the ritualistic dueling court.
