The System Teaches You How to Be Human

Yu Rongcheng didn’t know if it was the fury that had clouded his mind, but he recklessly charged forward like a mad bull, sword in hand, facing the sword energy of Si Yisi.

Si Yisi inexplicably understood what he was thinking.

People like him, who were both insecure and proud, after being reborn, would likely delude themselves into thinking that they were the true protagonists of the world.

Well… though this idea wasn’t entirely wrong, the demon inhabiting Yu Rongcheng’s body was, in fact, the current child of destiny.

So—

Clang!

The swords clashed. Si Yisi was clearly using a light sword, but he wrapped the blade in a layer of icy frost with his spiritual power. When he struck, it carried the weight of a heavy sword!

Yu Rongcheng gritted his teeth and held firm. Though his cultivation was lacking, he was still skilled with a sword. He firmly believed that Si Yisi couldn’t do anything to him for now. After all, he was a reborn person, and his combat awareness was definitely stronger than Si Yisi’s!

In battle, aside from cultivation, another key factor in determining victory or defeat was combat awareness!

Suddenly, Si Yisi flashed a gentle smile. To Yu Rongcheng, it felt like the death knell.

Yu Rongcheng subconsciously sensed that something was wrong.

Si Yisi withdrew all his strength and instead nimbly leaped backward, standing firm.

Yu Rongcheng, unable to control his momentum, grimaced and charged like a cannonball. Naturally, he ended up “slamming” onto the ground in front of Si Yisi, giving him a grand salute.

Even Lu Weizhi, who had been quietly observing from the side, staring at Ah Tu as if she were invisible, couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

The person who had approached me… was he a fool?

She had plenty of reason to believe that the calm and confident demeanor just now, if not an act by the person in front of her, must have been someone else entirely.

The latter possibility seemed greater. Were they one body with two souls? Or two souls in one body?

Lu Weizhi suddenly realized she had made a wrong judgment; Who could silently possess the body of a cultivator, if not someone far beyond her expectations?

She then remembered she had also conspired with him and instantly broke out in a cold sweat, dragging the unconscious Qing Zhi to the side.

What did Young Master Si have that made him brave enough to face this vicious demon alone?

She grabbed Ah Tu’s tail, which was confidently charging forward. “Don’t go. If something happens to you, Mo Lang will be upset.”

Ah Tu turned its head. “Hiss hiss hiss!”

Lu Weizhi could see the contempt in its little eyes.

She glanced at the two small spikes on Ah Tu’s head and thought; This must be a dragon, right? Not a snake?

***

Si Yisi looked down from above at Yu Rongcheng, who had just fell face first.

According to custom, Yu Rongcheng would feel deeply humiliated, and then his golden finger would likely activate.

Yu Rongcheng struggled to climb up, looking as if he wanted to fall down as many times as a cockroach and get up again each time.

But…

“Fool, get lost.”

A clear male voice spilled from his throat. The moment the sound entered the ears of any cultivator, they would immediately be disturbed by temptations such as lust, desire, and violence. It was a completely different sensation from hearing it through a layer of recording stones.

What can be said? As expected of a demon, it could easily deceive cultivators with weak minds.

A completely different expression appeared on Yu Rongcheng’s face. His pupils showed fear and confusion, but his lips curled upward, fixed in a beautiful arc.

His struggle didn’t last long. Soon, his entire demeanor changed. Yu Rongcheng’s golden finger activated and forcibly pushed him down.

This fake protagonist was truly pitiful.

Even Lu Weizhi was slightly shaken, but Si Yisi remained unmoved upon hearing the demon’s voice, his resolve as unyielding as a rock.

Unbeknownst to him, it wasn’t that he hadn’t felt the temptations; it was that he had transformed them into motivation.

The demon before him clearly looked like it could be easily beaten!

The sooner it was defeated; the sooner it would end!

Si Yisi was displeased with the Heavenly Dao of this small world of Qingmo, and he couldn’t bear to stay a moment longer.

‘Yu Rongcheng’ opened his mouth, seemingly to say something, but Si Yisi didn’t want to listen to his incessant chatter.

He raised his sword, and the ferocity of his stance caused even ‘Yu Rongcheng’ to flinch slightly.

Once the fight began, ‘Yu Rongcheng’ felt something was wrong.

Wasn’t Si Mobai from Yu Rongcheng’s memories a gentle, charming senior brother? Didn’t he use a light sword, with speed as his defining characteristic?

Then why, after using a sword, was this Si Mobai now using his fists, repeatedly pounding like a pile driver? And gentle? Gentle, my foot!

What was wrong with smashing fists and swords into his face?

Strangely enough, the part of the demon that had been assimilated by Yu Rongcheng actually… liked this approach. It subconsciously focused on protecting its face, leaving it passively enduring the blows with almost no room for counterattack.

But…

‘Yu Rongcheng’s’ body was pierced by Si Yisi’s strike, fresh blood dripping down. A large hole appeared in his abdomen. But immediately after, ‘Yu Rongcheng’ flashed a chilling smile, and black demonic energy quickly surged up, weaving a net over the wound.

“You can’t kill me.”

‘Yu Rongcheng’ was struck again by Si Yisi’s punch to the face, with black demonic energy covering his face. The sight was grotesque, making it hard to look at, and his smile grew even more terrifying. A swirling mass of “black mist,” forming a “smiling” black line.

Lu Weizhi pinched her arm. Her skin crawled with goosebumps.

Unfortunately, Qing Zhi woke up at that moment. She immediately saw the half-missing face of ‘Yu Rongcheng’ and let out a long, piercing scream. “Ah—!”

‘Yu Rongcheng’ turned to look towards Qing Zhi.

Si Yisi’s gaze carried understanding.

Alright, it was time for the ‘capture the hostage’ plot node.

As for the “can’t be killed” comment from ‘Yu Rongcheng’? The Heavenly Dao of this world was eager for him to die sooner, so what reason did he have left to survive?

Si Yisi’s first reaction wasn’t to save the two confidantes of the original owner. He knew how terrifying women could be when they exploded in anger, and besides…

His target was ‘Yu Rongcheng’!

***

Before Qing Zhi’s scream had even faded, she saw that ugly thing coming toward her.

It all happened so fast!

Slap! Qing Zhi’s hand acted faster than her brain, delivering a hard slap to ‘Yu Rongcheng’s’ face, knocking his head sideways!

Lu Weizhi glanced at her oddly; you’re ruthless! She quickly moved back, not wanting to become collateral damage.

“Ah Tu!”

“Hiss~” Ah Tu joyfully bounced up, heading straight for ‘Yu Rongcheng’s’ backside, its body crackling with brilliant lightning.

Si Yisi threw his sword aside, gathering cold spiritual energy in his hands. The Jian Bing Jue Technique ran wildly, drawing in all the spiritual energy from the immortal’s cave. A massive spiritual vortex appeared beside him!

He had infused all the Heavenly Dao consciousness forcibly fused within the spiritual energy, and with Ah Tu as a double assurance…

This strike was sure to win!

The lightning and ice-blue spiritual energy filled the air, engulfing ‘Yu Rongcheng’….
