Villain Cultivator (Web Novel)

Xu Miao and other outer disciples didn ’t know. There were changes in this exam.

Jia Shan and Xu Xiuying were aware of the deals under the table. To prevent favoritism and unfair advantage, they arranged multiple safe zones instead of one, but they made these areas smaller. Then, the arrays randomized the destination, sending all disciples to a different location.

With this setup, they couldn ’t band together and took advantage of others like previous tests.

Wei Yuan, Qing Zhong, and all candidates were shocked that everyone would be separated during the test. Moreover, the safe zones were too small for a large group.

Everyone paid attention to how all separated outer disciples fared in the alternate world.

Kang Yan and the Virgin Yin disciples began exploring the outer perimeter and cut down woods with their abilities, trying to secure resources to build make-shift weapons.

Wei Feng, Nie Ping, and mountain goose disciples were all hot-blood youths. They rushed into the wild and hunted nearby monster beasts right away.

But Xu Miao ’s cowardice tactic attracted all attention from the crowd. His actions revealed an exploitable loophole of the safe zone, which made hunting easy and safe.

Some noble clansmen scoffed as they were disgusted by Xu Miao ’s slyness. Yet, small families and weak candidates appreciated the hints. Many people admired his intelligence and shrewdness.

”As expected of a genius. This is how you think outside of the box. ”

”Outside the box, my ass! Xu Miao is a coward! ”

”Intelligence is one of a cultivator ’s skills. You can ’t look down on his because of his wits. ”

”But that ’s totally cheating! There ’s no honor in that! ”

”Honor can ’t bring food to the table! True cultivators lie, cheat, steal, and kill to make a living! ”

Opinions polarized, but the majority of experienced cultivators approved of Xu Miao ’s way. In real combats and real life, a trivial insight like this could make a difference between life and death.
