Villain Cultivator (Web Novel)

”Did you see that!? ”

”What kind of technique was that!? ”

”Who said that Xu Miao is trash!? He ’s a fucking monster! ”

The spectators couldn ’t believe what they had seen when Xu Miao used Atomic Slash.

Usually, low-ranked martial artists gathered their qi into their weapon and unleashed their strike with the most powerful attack. They believed that finishing the fight as quickly as possible was the best way of fighting.

But Xu Miao was a hipster. Instead of using powerful techniques, he prioritized landing multiple weak attacks over a single strong attack. From his experience, one big attack could be easily countered, but multiple weak attacks were usually neglected. As such, stacking weak attacks against a strong opponent was easier than trying to land one critical strike in early matches.

This fighting style was unusual for the local population, especially the weak and the inexperienced. But for the masters who had been through bloody battles, they admired Xu Miao ’s combat tactic.

Jia Shan was one of the admirers. He had been paying attention to Xu Miao after the latter had bribed him, and he liked the skills and tactics that both Xu Miao and Wei Yuan had used.

’Good mindset and tactic! Most rookies only care about throwing the best skills, but those two know the basics. Once they grow up and get stronger, they can easily overcome deadly situations with this mindset. Those fools that only use strong techniques every time will eventually get themselves killed when they run into an experienced fighter. ’

In life-and-death fights at a higher stage, masters could utilize their essence and display stronger techniques, which could easily kill their opponents as long as it landed. However, everybody with the strength of the 5th stage or higher always possessed at least 10 deadly techniques, so battles between masters were usually decided by skill efficiency, tactics, and power management.

Using absolute power to overwhelm the opponents was a good tactic, but it rarely worked against 4th stage cultivators or stronger. Zhu Yanyu had already shown an example that power wasn ’t everything. Trickeries, deceptions, and strategies were necessary for the combat of essences. Many experienced fighters with the strength of the 4th stage could easily defeat a naïve 6th stage who fought with only power-moves by utilizing proper tactics.

Thus, having the right mindset in the early stages was more important than increasing their cultivation base. By ingraining this attitude into instinct early on, the muscle memory would give them a jump start after reaching the 4th stage, when Yin and Yang Essence came into play. Those who used to fight with absolute power had to spend more time adapting to the changes, but both Xu Miao and Wei Yuan could proceed forward without having to practice these trickeries or tactics again.

Impressed by the couple, Jia Shan planned to make Wei Yuan his core disciple. As for Xu Miao, he would have to ask Xu Xiuying.

Jia Shan wasn ’t the only one who planned to make either Wei Yuan or Xu Miao their core disciple. By standing minor elders from both sects and Jian Meng also eyed both of them, and they planned to talk to the two after the event.
