Chapter 92: The Peerless Beauty Society? More Like a Female Supremacist Club! The Ruyan Empress Makes Her Entrance!!
“Most importantly, if I return to the future again, I will be able to raise my strength to the peak of the Supreme Realm at the fastest possible speed!”
“And after that, even surpassing the Supreme Realm will not be difficult.”
“When the time comes, I will also have more time to prepare for that so-called Evil God!”
After thinking it over, Xiao Xuan lowered his gaze toward the Ferocious Beasts below.
The beasts on this floor were already nearly wiped out. With a sweep of his hand, Xiao Xuan opened his storage space and swallowed all of them inside.
His storage space had already been enormous in diameter, but after being upgraded to gold rank, its diameter had directly surged to 100,000 kilometers!
With a space that vast, storing however many beast corpses he wanted was effortless.
After that, he opened the twelfth floor.
This time, he used every element available to him.
Sure enough, different types of traits produced different status effects.
Which meant the traits that dropped also became more numerous.
And the extra traits this time all corresponded to various elements, such as [Cold], [Frostbite], [Pierced], [Waterlogged],[Severed],and a whole host of other damage-related traits.
Of course, because there were now so many different methods of inflicting harm, those Ferocious Beasts had truly fallen into misery.
But for Xiao Xuan, it was a tremendous blessing, because that also meant he could squeeze even more Eco Points out of them.
The beasts on this floor were at the Third Heaven of the Martial Venerable Realm, in other words, three-star eighth-tier Ferocious Beasts.
Their numbers were not much different from those on the tenth and eleventh floors.
And yet Xiao Xuan had forcibly wrung an extra 20 billion Eco Points out of them.
That brought the total for this floor back up to the same level as floors one through nine, around 40 billion Eco Points!
Xiao Xuan immediately smiled. Unfortunately, the number of element types he currently possessed was still not enough. Otherwise, he could have created even more damage states.
Under his torment, the beasts on this floor were soon reduced to piles of minced flesh and shattered fragments!
Xiao Xuan did not mind in the least and threw them all into his storage space.
After that, one floor after another of Ferocious Beasts appeared. Despite being a full realm and a half above Xiao Xuan in strength at minimum, all of them were effortlessly tortured to death by him like ants beneath his feet.
And his points also began to skyrocket madly!
……
……
Outside, the entire place had already exploded into an uproar.
“Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!! Seventeenth floor! It’s broken a hundred million! Xiao Xuan’s points have broken a hundred million!”
“Hiss! Truly terrifying! The first person in Imperial Capital University to break a hundred million points has appeared!”
“It’s only his first day after enrollment! If you gave him another ten years, wouldn’t he reach a billion points?”
“What are you thinking? He only got a hundred million because his tower challenge difficulty was absurdly high. If he wants to earn more points in the future, it’ll be incredibly hard. Forget a billion—even another hundred million is practically impossible!”
“Exactly. Points have always been extremely hard to earn. But even so, Xiao Xuan’s record probably won’t be broken for hundreds, maybe even thousands of years!”
For a time, every student at Imperial Capital University who saw Xiao Xuan’s terrifying score could not help exclaiming in shock.
His result was simply too monstrous.
……
At last, under the watchful eyes of the entire crowd, Xiao Xuan finally reached the eighteenth floor. And before long, his name vanished directly from the eighteenth floor.
He had cleared it!
That final floor had only taken him a little over ten minutes to clear!
Normally, the higher the floor, the greater the difficulty, and in theory, the slower a challenger’s pace should become. But Xiao Xuan was a complete exception. The higher he climbed, the faster he became.
That meant the guardian Ferocious Beasts on the final floor had not been able to injure or hinder him in the slightest!
Xiao Xuan’s strength was terrifying to such an extent!
……
……
Buzz!!!
A few minutes later, Xiao Xuan’s figure emerged from the teleportation array. He then walked straight toward Mu Xiying.
Every eye turned toward him.
“Damn, he’s handsome!”
“Damn it, why is this guy ridiculously strong and ridiculously handsome? He’s not leaving anyone else a way to live!”
…
For a moment, who knew how many people looked at him with envy, jealousy, and bitterness.
“I wonder if Junior Brother Xiao Xuan has a girlfriend. If he doesn’t…”
“Forget it. Didn’t you see that girl standing in front of him? She’s even prettier than the campus beauties of Imperial Capital University!”
“That’s Mu Xiying, the champion of this year’s Hundred-Province Genius Tournament! Although there are rumors that Xiao Xuan deliberately held back against her, “her strength is still Heaven Ranking level no matter what. In the entire Heaven Ranking, there are fewer than five female students. Which of them can compare to Mu Xiying?”
“Even that girl beside her probably has very few equals.”
“That’s true. Sigh. A genius young man matched with genius young women, and there are even two of them. Damn it, why was I not born that lucky?”
……
Of course, quite a few talented young women also became interested when they saw Xiao Xuan.
But the moment they noticed Mu Xiying, their expressions immediately soured.
Whether in appearance or strength, Mu Xiying was flawless.
“Tsk, Brother Xiao, everyone else thinks Senior Mu is your girlfriend.”
“Feeling happy about that?”
Hearing the surrounding discussion, Gu Xuan looked at Xiao Xuan with a wicked grin.
The moment those words came out, Xiao Xuan’s mouth twitched.
“You brat, don’t think I won’t hit you just because you look like a girl.”
Xiao Xuan spoke in exasperation.
“Wuwuwu, I’m a weak girl now. Are you really not even going to spare a weak girl? How cruel!”
Gu Xuan put on an aggrieved expression.
Xiao Xuan was so annoyed he almost made a move. But if he really did, news would probably come out the next day saying that Xiao Xuan, as a Heaven Ranking expert, had assaulted a female student.
At that point, he would be torn apart online.
So all he did was glance at Mu Xiying, who naturally remained calm.
But for some reason, after hearing all that discussion, a strange flutter stirred faintly within her heart.
“Two junior sisters, would you perhaps be interested in joining our Peerless Beauty Society?”
At that moment, a soft, seductive voice suddenly rang out.
The three of them instinctively turned to look.
They saw a glamorous, voluptuous older girl walking in from outside the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
Behind her followed a group of equally beautiful young women.
Every one of those girls wore an arrogant expression, and all of them looked at the male students around them with unconcealed irritation.
“It’s Senior Gu Qingcheng and her members! Why are they here?”
“The name Peerless Beauty Society really does live up to its reputation. There isn’t a single ugly person in the whole organization.”
“Of course. The Peerless Beauty Society has been passed down for three hundred years. Every generation’s president has been a peerless beauty at Heaven Ranking level!”
“This time, they must have taken a liking to the potential and looks of those two girls.”
“Hah. They may all be stunning, but in truth, every one of them is a seasoned female supremacist.”
“And with their talents added on top, they’ve used being women to snatch plenty of benefits away from ordinary male students over the years!”
“And all of that has been deducted from the funds originally allocated to the student body as a whole. Originally, ordinary students received a martial stipend of one million per month.”
“Because of them, it got slashed straight down to seven hundred thousand, and the remaining three hundred thousand was redirected to the female students!”
“Uh, but isn’t that only three hundred thousand?”
“You don’t know shit. On the Martial Path, the gender ratio is already heavily skewed, and the stronger the university, the worse the imbalance gets. At Imperial Capital University, the male-to-female ratio has reached an absurd ten to one.”
“And every one of those ten male students loses three hundred thousand, which gets pooled together and handed to the girls.”
“That directly pushes an ordinary female student’s monthly subsidy to four million!”
“That’s six or seven times what us male students get!”
“And you still think it’s not much!?”
“Holy shit! There’s actually something like that?”
“And that’s only the basic monthly funding.”
“Do you know what a Menstrual Stipend is?”
“Do you know what a Female Martial Practice Subsidy is?”
“Do you know what a Vulnerable Group Compensation Fund is?”
“All of those were forced into existence because the Peerless Beauty Society kept stirring up trouble.”
“Add it all together, and an ordinary female student gets ten times the monthly funds of a male student!”
“Ten whole times!”
“That means the state spends the same total amount on female students as it does on male students, even though the number of women is one-tenth as large!”
“And even then, there still aren’t more than five female students on the Heaven Ranking. That’s only one-twentieth of the total!”
“Think about it. Is that fair or not?!”
“Holy shit, that’s that outrageous? Why is it that with ten times the funding, they still can’t close the gap on the Heaven Ranking?”
“Logically speaking, if you pour in ten times the money, there ought to be at least twenty or thirty girls on the Heaven Ranking, right?”
“Hah. Where do you think the money went? Just look at what they’re wearing. It’s all built for beauty first and foremost.”
“Are those weapons and equipment? Those are accessories!”
“And because some of those items do have certain combat uses, everything is technically legal and within the rules, so the school can’t do much about them.”
“And if any teacher points it out, those women immediately turn around and accuse the teacher of discriminating against them.”
……
Seeing the members of the Peerless Beauty Society, quite a few older male students showed open disgust.
Very few people liked them just because they were beautiful. Once someone truly understood what the so-called Peerless Beauty Society was, anyone with a normal sense of right and wrong would never think highly of those women.
Mu Xiying also looked over at those women and frowned.
Especially at Gu Qingcheng.
In her original timeline, when she entered Imperial Capital University, Gu Qingcheng had just happened to be a Tenth-Year Senior Student!
She had also come to recruit her back then.
But Mu Xiying had refused, and afterward Gu Qingcheng had caused her no small amount of trouble.
She had even, out of jealousy over Mu Xiying’s beauty and the tremendous strength she later displayed, hired people to assassinate her.
Of course, Mu Xiying was not some helpless heroine from a women’s melodrama, one who could only endure bullying until reincarnation, and then, even after reincarnating, spend years swallowing humiliation before lightly killing the villain in the end.
Gu Qingcheng had never left Imperial Capital University alive.
At the graduation ceremony, before the eyes of the entire crowd, Mu Xiying had slain her outright.
As for the Peerless Beauty Society, Mu Xiying had abolished it during her own university years.
Anyone who tried to use the banner of womanhood to seize benefits that did not belong to her would be dealt with by Mu Xiying.
At that time, Mu Xiying had been number one on the Heaven Ranking, a supreme prodigy capable of instantly crushing the number two ranked student.
In the Global Genius Tournament, she had even pressed down on the geniuses of the entire world and beaten them into submission.
Back then, many female students who still wanted to profit from their identity as women had joined together again and again after Mu Xiying’s rise, urging her to take the lead in rebuilding the Peerless Beauty Society.
Unfortunately for them, what awaited them was only a brutal beating.
Of course, during that period, Mu Xiying’s reputation was terrible. She had been denounced online and branded with the label of a male-appeaser.
Naturally, that label did not last long. Once Mu Xiying became one of humanity’s great experts,
those online troll armies disappeared.
Disappeared in the literal sense. Disappeared from the face of the Earth.
……
“Let’s go. We still have other things to do. There’s no time to waste on these parasites.”
Naturally, Xiao Xuan also knew something about this so-called Peerless Beauty Society.
After all, in the previous cycle, he had stayed at Imperial Capital University for seven or eight years.
He also knew how Mu Xiying had dealt with these women.
But right now, there simply was no time.
Yet the moment he said that, the entire place exploded.
Every female student in the Peerless Beauty Society widened her eyes in disbelief, then burst into fury.
“Who are you calling parasites?!”
“You disgusting man, how dare you call us parasites? Are you tired of living at Imperial Capital University?”
“Don’t think that just because your talent is strong, you can do whatever you want. Once we post you online, you won’t have anywhere to stand in all of Huaxia—no, even on Earth!”
……
For a moment, every girl in the Peerless Beauty Society pointed at Xiao Xuan and cursed at him.
“So you’re Xiao Xuan, are you? Your talent is not bad, but you’ve offended people you should never have offended!”
Gu Qingcheng also stared coldly at Xiao Xuan.
“Hah.”
The moment she said that, Xiao Xuan laughed.
“Gu Qingcheng, is it? You came from some third-rate little city, and only because you lucked into awakening a gold trait were you able to enter Imperial Capital University!”
“In order to join the Peerless Beauty Society, you went under the knife no fewer than ten times.”
“You really think that by gathering a bunch of bloodsucking parasites and stirring up trouble across the university, you’ve become someone above everyone else?”
“Do you still remember how hideous you looked originally?”
Xiao Xuan looked at Gu Qingcheng and sneered.
His words were icy, and at the same time utterly mocking, directly exposing every secret Gu Qingcheng least wanted anyone to mention.
“You’re asking for death! I’ll kill you!”
Gu Qingcheng instantly snapped and charged furiously at Xiao Xuan.
Boom!!!
But in the very next instant, Xiao Xuan’s size-forty-three foot had already smashed into her face.
Pfft!!
In an instant, as she spat out a mouthful of blood, Gu Qingcheng’s entire body was sent flying.
Boom!!!
With a thunderous crash, Gu Qingcheng slammed straight into a pillar, hovering between life and death.
As for her face, it had already been utterly ruined.
“You… you dare injure someone inside Imperial Capital University?!”
“You’re finished, Xiao Xuan! Even if you’re strong, private fighting inside Imperial Capital University is still punishable!”
“That’s right! And you even dared hit a woman. We’ll make sure your reputation is destroyed. Just wait. Your life is over!”
……
Seeing this, all the girls of the Peerless Beauty Society shrieked.
Of course, each and every one of them also retreated farther away in fear, afraid Xiao Xuan might beat them too if he got angry.
Even quite a few girls from the surrounding crowd echoed them.
After all, they were still hoping the Peerless Beauty Society would fight for benefits on their behalf. Even if they knew perfectly well what sort of thing the society really was,
did that matter?
It did not. What mattered most right now was not allowing the Peerless Beauty Society’s momentum to be crushed. Otherwise, they would lose their leverage in the future.
“First, Gu Qingcheng attacked me first. I merely defended myself.”
“Second, the way you are speaking right now—should I take that as a threat?”
Xiao Xuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at those women.
The moment he said that, every girl present turned pale with fright.
“Y-you… what are you trying to do? We didn’t lay a hand on you. If you dare hit us, then you’re truly finished!”
One of the girls hastily tried to warn him.
“You’re still threatening me. I feel that my personal safety is under severe threat.”
Yet Xiao Xuan’s expression instantly turned terrified.
“In that case, I can only strike first and eliminate the hidden danger!”
In the next moment, the fear on his face turned instantly cold and ruthless.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The next instant, waves of terrifying lightning erupted directly from his body.
In a flash, those bolts slammed into the girls of the Peerless Beauty Society.
The terrifying lightning blasted them all flying and charred every one of them black.
It was impossible to tell that these women had once been the same beautiful girls as before!
That decisive, ruthless method instantly changed the expressions of all the students inside the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
Xiao Xuan’s move had been too vicious. He had not given those women any chance at all.
Although it looked incredibly satisfying, it still felt somewhat too harsh.
Boom!!!
At that very moment, a terrifying aura suddenly descended from the void.
In the next instant, a Martial Thearch expert flew in from outside at tremendous speed.
And this Martial Thearch was also a peerless beauty!
Of course, Xiao Xuan could tell at a glance that she too was man-made.
The cosmetic technology of this era was almost flawless, but only almost, not absolutely.
For true experts, spotting cosmetic alterations was easy.
This woman was the founder of the Peerless Beauty Society!
After graduating, she had remained at the university and become part of Imperial Capital University’s faculty. Of course, what she did there every day was lead the girls of the Peerless Beauty Society around as they stirred up trouble and demanded rewards of all kinds!
As a result, in only a hundred years, she had not only become a Martial Thearch,
but her personal wealth had even surpassed that of ordinary Martial Saints.
Her name was also rather special: Liu Ruyan!
That was right. She was the very same Empress Ruyan, a name once feared across the internet.
Of course, she had taken that name later.
The reason she chose it was simple.
Before the Great Cataclysm, the name Liu Ruyan had practically become synonymous with a certain kind of villainous heroine on the internet!
Why? Because almost every female lead with that name had been an exquisitely self-serving woman and, at the same time, a staunch supporter of female supremacy.
When the female Martial Thearch had been young, after reading all kinds of old web novels, she had reached one conclusion:
“A great female lead ought to be like this!”
That was why she renamed herself Liu Ruyan—to let the world know that she was Empress Ruyan, a true great heroine.
And because she had carried out the Empress Ruyan persona to the letter, causing endless trouble throughout Imperial Capital University, she had gathered more than a hundred trillion followers on the Big Sweet Potato app. All of them were her loyal devotees. If she posted a call for someone to be mobbed online, even a Martial Saint could be turned into a rat crossing the street.
Of course, she still had a brain. She did not dare provoke the top Martial Saints.
Those top experts might very well storm into Imperial Capital University and kill her.
Still, her actions had naturally brought consequences.
That was to say, she had now practically become the number one target on Huaxia’s dark web bounty list.
The moment she stepped out of Imperial Capital University, only death would await her!
She had actually arrived long ago, but had deliberately refrained from showing herself. Why?
Naturally, because she had been hiding in the shadows investigating Xiao Xuan’s background, trying to find out whether he had a top Martial Saint backing him.
There was no way it would be worth offending a peak Martial Saint for the sake of pawns like Gu Qingcheng and the others!
Of course, once she discovered that Xiao Xuan had no background whatsoever, she became truly enraged.
No backing, yet he still dared lay hands on her people? He was simply asking to die.
“You bastard! You disgusting man, how dare you attack Qingcheng and the others!”
“Private fighting is forbidden inside Imperial Capital University. As a mentor of Imperial Capital University, I will now execute you and purge Huaxia of a scourge!”
“I will restore justice to the women of Huaxia!”
Sure enough, the moment Liu Ruyan saw Xiao Xuan, she did not waste a single extra word. She struck directly with a palm.
In an instant, terrifying power condensed into a gigantic handprint and pressed down viciously toward Xiao Xuan.
Although Liu Ruyan’s influence had been inflated through hype, she had once possessed a gold trait.
So her strength itself was unquestionably real!
If Xiao Xuan wanted to block that giant handprint head-on, then even if he erupted with his full power, he still would not be able to stop it.
After all, his realm had not been upgraded yet. At this moment, he was still just an ordinary First Heaven Martial Emperor.
Of course, if he wanted to, he could raise his strength to the Martial Venerable Realm in an instant.
At that point, a mere First Heaven Martial Thearch like Liu Ruyan could be slapped to death with one hand.
And besides, Xiao Xuan had long since sensed that there were powerful human experts nearby.
He did not need to make a move himself.
“Liu Ruyan, that’s enough!!”
Sure enough, at that very moment, a cold voice erupted from the void!
Boom!!!
In the next instant, Liu Ruyan’s giant handprint exploded apart, turning into a rain of energy fragments.
Not a single person was harmed.
Then a sharp-eyed young man flew in from outside the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
“Ye Xiao? So it’s you, you useless waste! You dare stand in my way?!”
The moment Liu Ruyan saw who it was, her eyes widened in disbelief.
“Holy shit, that’s Teacher Ye Xiao?”
“Ye Xiao? I’ve barely heard of him. Is he famous?”
“What do you mean, famous? Three hundred years ago, he was a major figure! They say he’s the eldest grandson of the Martial Saint Ye Family.
“He and Liu Ruyan attended the same school from childhood. It’s just that Liu Ruyan’s family was only a Martial Emperor family, completely beneath notice.”
“But there was nothing to be done. Ye Xiao liked her.”
