My Text-Based Cultivation Game

In the end, Yunyang agreed to the request of Master Li.

There was no other reason than that this Master Li had asked for more money.

Master Li promised Yunyang that he would give Yunyang three low-grade spirit stones as a reward after the matter was completed.

As a lay Buddhist who pays extra fees, Yunyang's flexible moral bottom line tells him that this is not entirely unacceptable.

Why not just treat this as an exhibition match?

The following day, the martial arts tournament was held as scheduled. Martial artists from all walks of life traveled great distances to attend this grand event at Hidden Sword Manor, causing a massive traffic jam that blocked the way.

You discover that although Hidden Sword Manor is like an ant compared to Xuantian Sect, it is actually a very influential force within the Great Qian Kingdom.

After Master Li delivered an inspiring speech and announced that cultivators from the Xuantian Sect would be joining the sword-fighting tournament, the tournament commenced in full swing.

And this first battle was initiated by you, a cultivator.

[You came on stage carrying the village sword you bought.]

After an animation of Yunyang walking onto the arena with his sword, the familiar mini-game begins again.

This game is, The King of Fighters!

Or rather, it's a 2D side-scrolling action game.

When Yunyang saw that the mini-game was King of Fighters, he was a little nervous.

Unlike familiar rhythm games, Yunyang only played King of Fighters when he was a child.

Moreover, it's the kind of interaction where all you know is how to move left and right and attack, leaving all other operations to randomly pressing the keyboard.

I wouldn't say I know nothing about this game, but I'd say I'm completely unfamiliar with it.

What if I get frozen in place by these martial artists and suffocate to death in a corner?

If I, a cultivator, couldn't defeat these martial arts practitioners, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?

"Phew~"

Yunyang let out a long breath and sat up from the bird's nest.

Focus all your attention and let me see how difficult this little game is!

[Battle begins!]

Yunyang held his phone, intently controlling the character on the screen, cautiously approaching his opponent, and then tentatively tapped the attack button.

Your sword shattered, but the hilt dealt 99999 damage to your opponent, who is now unconscious.

Ok?

What is that?

……

The martial arts heroes from all walks of life who came to Cangjian Manor to watch the competition shared the same question as Yunyang.

What just happened?

At first, they only saw that the Xuantian Sect cultivator was like a thief, timidly and cautiously approaching the martial arts hero he was fighting.

There was absolutely none of the elegance and grace of the legendary cultivators.

On the contrary, the martial arts hero who fought him, dressed in a tight-fitting black martial arts outfit with the hem of his clothes fluttering in the wind, and holding his long sword upside down on his back, seemed to have a more ethereal air about him.

For a time, it was impossible to tell who the legendary cultivator was.

However, this Xuantian Sect disciple is indeed quite handsome.

Many female martial arts heroes in the martial arts world already had their eyes shining and their hearts pounding.

Faced with Yunyang's relentless pursuit, the black-clad martial arts swordsman gripped his long sword tightly, his face tense.

Although the Xuan Tian Sect disciple in front of him was full of flaws, he naturally dared not underestimate him because of the Xuan Tian Sect's reputation.

As the Xuantian Sect disciple approached the wandering swordsman, he raised his hand and gently slashed downwards with his sword.

The martial arts hero immediately raised his sword to defend, and with a clang, the sword in the Xuantian Sect disciple's hand shattered!

Uh, that's it?

But that's not all!

Although the sword shattered, the Xuan Tian Sect member's "sword" did not stop its downward strike; the remaining hilt slammed heavily onto the shoulder of the wandering swordsman.

"boom!"

With a loud crash, the martial arts hero fell to the ground.

"..."

Ah this...

Everyone fell silent.

He must have been knocked down by a hammer!

This isn't a sword duel at all!

However, no one dared to speak up.

The dented and shattered stone arena beneath the martial arts hero proved the significance of that strike to everyone.

Oh, and that chivalrous swordsman, is he... alright?

The doctor who had been prepared by Cangjian Manor rushed up to examine the patient.

Fortunately, Yunyang didn't hit too hard, and this martial arts hero was indeed quite skilled. Although he fainted, he was fortunately unharmed.

"good!"

Master Li of the Hidden Sword Manor, who had been watching from the high platform, stepped forward at this moment, clapping his hands and exclaiming loudly, "As expected of a cultivator from the Xuantian Sect, this move is truly extraordinary! This 'Sword Intent of Power' is indeed extraordinary and domineering!"

Power my ass!

Isn't this just being strong? Where did you get this "Sword Intent of Strength" from?

Sword intent, my foot! They're just using the hilt of the sword!

Everyone couldn't help but complain in their hearts.

But if I hadn't told you you were the master of Hidden Sword Manor, you could have described a casual smash as "the sword intent of power"—something most people wouldn't have thought of.

However, even if I can't figure it out, I can still follow in Master Li's footsteps!

"well!"

Immediately, someone shouted, "As expected of cultivators from the Xuantian Sect! This sword intent using power is truly extraordinary and eye-opening!"

"Ah...yes, yes! As expected of a disciple of the Xuantian Sect! Truly amazing!"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's truly an eye-opening experience for everyone!"

"Amazing! Amazing!"

"Aaaaaah! Immortal Master! Give me your autograph, Immortal Master!"

"Immortal Master, I want to have your babies!!"

"Give a shout-out to the Immortal Master!"

Huh? Where did this brainless female knight-errant come from? She even speaks a foreign dialect.

But if you want to follow your idols, can you please not do it here?

[Your sword strike shocked everyone in Hidden Sword Manor. Manor Lord Li described it as "the sword intent of power," and it even attracted a wave of female fans.]

Ok?

Yunyang, sitting in front of the screen, was confused once again.

What is this sword intent of power?

Isn't this just about being strong? Why did something called "Sword Intent of Strength" suddenly pop up in my head?

And this sword is broken, okay?

I think replacing it with a brick might be more practical.

Perhaps, next time I can just bring a brick up with me?
