Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Yino’s current main profession was a sword cultivator, but that was only because Yuyan had coaxed him up the mountain early on.

As a hardcore player of Fallen Immortal in his past life, Yino had cleared the opening routes for all the protagonists across the Five Great Immortal Sects. The curses, illusion techniques, and even the sacrificial Formations and incantations he used earlier all came from his past life’s memories!

"A mere sword cultivator dares to compete with me in spiritual arts. Do you think this is still last night’s physical brawl?"

With the great battle imminent, Wen Ruzhi’s face darkened considerably.

Spiritual Energy whipped up a fierce wind that tousled her hair. She currently bore a tremendous amount of pressure on her shoulders.

When they competed in physical combat last night, it was understandable for her to lose since she was born with a weak physique as a dual-pupil wielder.

But today’s contest of spiritual arts was her domain of expertise as a dual-pupil wielder. In contrast, Yino started as a sword cultivator, making spiritual arts theoretically his weak point.

She held the advantage in this martial arts competition. If she lost again, there would be absolutely no way to save face!

"If you refuse to acknowledge physical combat, I also know a thing or two about spiritual arts."

Yino smiled faintly and took the initiative to strike.

He blurred his hands into a series of strange seals as he muttered an incantation.

"Yin Yang flows, Frost Abyss strikes!"

In an instant, endless abyssal aura swirled around his body, gradually forming eight Yin Yang spirit swords.

The four swords on the left glowed dark red, possessing the abyssal attribute.

The four swords on the right gleamed like pure white jade, possessing the frost attribute.

The eight swords resonated with each other, forming a sword array behind him where Yin Yang intersected.

"Dual attributes?"

Wen Ruzhi furrowed her brows in surprise.

However, she quickly sneered, dismissing it with contempt.

Since ancient times, cultivation had always favored single-attribute Spirit Veins. Multi-attribute Spirit Veins often lacked purity in each element. The world called them mixed veins, offering no impressive advantages at all!

Nothing to fear!

Amid her thoughts, she snorted coldly as a resolute glint flashed through her eyes.

Without another word, she lowered her stance and waved her hand. Rows of abyssal demon swords roared forward in perfect unison behind her.

Yino shifted his focus, pushing two fingers forward. The eight Yin Yang spirit swords trembled with a hum behind him before shooting toward Wen Ruzhi like arrows leaving the bowstring. The blades dragged dazzling red and blue dual spirit flames through the air, tearing through the atmosphere with astonishing momentum.

Rumble!

As the swords clashed, several aftershocks of spiritual resonance rippled across the Dao Testing Pavilion like exploding stars.

Wen Ruzhi locked her gaze forward, constantly manifesting countless abyssal swords behind her to fill the gaps in the clash. Meanwhile, Yino stood motionless in his original spot, solely using spiritual arts to control those eight spirit swords on the battlefield from beginning to end.

Yet even so, those eight spirit swords remained standing like a dragon sweeping through an army of millions.

The Yin Yang of the eight blades complemented each other perfectly, flawlessly forming a sword array where their sword auras covered each other’s flanking weaknesses. This was especially true for the four spirit swords with the frost attribute. Their blades were as flawless as snow, yet their energy was aggressively overbearing. They seemingly possessed an innate suppression over Wen Ruzhi’s abyssal attribute, making their power more than double that of their accompanying dark red counterparts!

The frost swords acted as the main force, with the red swords playing a supporting role...

With such a one-sided exchange ratio, it would be impossible for her to break through their sword array even if she replenished another thousand demon swords!

He is only at the Nascent Soul stage. How could he possibly maneuver two mutually exclusive Yin Yang dual-attribute spirit swords to such a level of mastery?!

Seeing that she was losing the spiritual arts battle as well, an anxious look immediately crossed her face.

She was just about to complain about something, but her eyes widened in shock the moment she casually thought about his cultivation base. She finally realized that the young man standing before her today had already possessed a Divine Transformation stage base from the very beginning!

Wait, wasn’t he only at the Nascent Soul stage yesterday?!

Could it be that he suppressed his cultivation base by an entire realm when he fought me last night?!

Wen Ruzhi muttered to herself, suddenly discovering the root of the problem.

There were only two possible answers. Either Yino had broken through to the Divine Transformation stage overnight, or he had intentionally lowered his cultivation base when he fought her last night.

Obviously, she believed it was definitely the latter.

Yino clearly hadn’t used his full strength last night. His physical body could easily handle her, and because someone interrupted them halfway, he was never forced to reveal any of his trump cards in that dual-pupil world.

As for the former possibility, reaching the Divine Transformation stage wasn’t difficult for top-tier geniuses like her. However, achieving a major realm breakthrough was not something that happened overnight. It often required a massive battle or a Heavenly Opportunity to cross into the Divine Transformation stage!

Yino clearly had neither of those conditions last night.

Using only a Nascent Soul cultivation base to spar with me... Did he not even consider me a peer on his level?

A deeper sense of humiliation welled up in her heart at this thought.

What made it shameful was that she confidently sought him out for a spar, only for him to suppress his cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage. Not only did she fail to notice this little trick, but she even ended up getting effortlessly lifted by the neck by a Nascent Soul Yino using purely physical strength!

And now, he was suppressing her in her specialized domain of spiritual arts, all while acting as a sword cultivator...

I even opened my ancient dual-pupils last night, yet I didn’t notice that his true cultivation base wasn’t at the Nascent Soul stage!

Even for someone like the Lin mansion’s eldest son Lin Yuchen, I could see through his exact cultivation level with a single glance...

Could it be that this Divine Transformation stage is also just a layer of disguise that he wants me to see?

If that is true, then what level is the real Yino actually standing on?

The confidence she had always relied upon suffered multiple blows, finally causing her thoughts to turn chaotic as she controlled the abyssal swords.

"Miss Ruzhi, getting distracted during a battle can be fatal!"

Spotting the perfect opportunity, Yino let out a cold laugh.

He pointed two fingers forward, using the abyssal red swords as cover while the frost swords acted as the vanguard to break the formation. In a mere instant, they carved a bloody path right through her great path of abyssal swords.

At the same time, the four frost swords faced no further obstruction in the sky. They instantly turned their blades around and shot straight down toward Wen Ruzhi’s body.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Three frost swords stabbed into the floor in perfect unison, but Wen Ruzhi dodged all of them with consecutive backflips.

However, the fourth frost sword hidden in her blind spot followed closely behind the moment she landed on the ground.

"Ninefold Abyssal Guard, open!"

Knowing she had nowhere to dodge midair and that this sword strike was guaranteed to kill, she hastily formed hand seals once again.

In an instant, a vast abyssal aura erupted from her body once more.

An ancient aura formed a tornado with her at the center, completely wrapping around her. The incoming frost sword swept in from the opposite direction, but it failed to pierce through this abyssal tornado that provided nearly flawless ninefold protection inside and out.

Crack!

Only a brief moment later, the frost sword shattered inside the abyss.

Escorted by the abyssal tornado, she became as light as a swallow, landing gracefully on the ground once more.

But this time, after the Ninefold Abyssal Guard dispersed, the expression on her face had completely lost its luster.

"What is the matter, Miss? Did you use the Divine Abyss Gate’s life-saving Secret Art because you could not win the spiritual arts battle?"

Yino still stood on the opposite side of the Dao Testing Pavilion with his hands behind his back, joking with a faint smile.

Swoosh!

The remaining seven spirit swords answered his call, casually flying into his sleeves where they reverted into Spiritual Energy and dissipated.

Out of these eight spirit swords, the frost swords naturally came from Yuyan’s innate Frost Holy Physique. They inherently countered Cultivators with abyssal attributes like Wen Ruzhi!
