Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system

"Good. After she kills him, she'll be the first one to get the achievement, and there's no way anyone would be close to her player kills," Hui Mei said confidently—then suddenly paused.

'Did I raise a flag?' Hui Mei thought as an ominous premonition welled up in her heart.

[A disciple from the Yang-Yin Sect is the first to kill 100 players.]

[A disciple from the Yang-Yin Sect has gained the required points to complete the quest.]

'Damn it, me and my mouth... Is my mouth also cursed?' Hui Mei thought, glaring at the notifications.

Seeing the notification, the pleased expression on Hui Mei's face was wiped away. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves, resisting the urge to smash something. Clenching and unclenching her fists several times, she tried to suppress her rising frustration.

'Damn, looks like their bad luck rubbed off on me,' Hui Mei cursed inwardly, her eyebrows twitching in irritation. She shot a glare at the other Peak Masters, who were oblivious to her anger as they stared at the screen, dumbfounded.

Tang Ning noticed her master's expression and had a similar thought.

'Damn, Sect Master is also cursed by bad luck.'All the Peak Masters shared the same thought, stiffly shifting their gazes towards Hui Mei, their bodies tense.

"Sect Master, this—" one of the Peak Masters started to speak but immediately shut his mouth when Hui Mei's sharp glare fell on him.

"Didn't you guys say she would be in the lead? Now look at you! You guys are cursed by bad luck. Because of your rotten mouths, someone else got the achievement! Also... this month's salary is gone for all of you," Hui Mei snapped, clearly trying to shift the blame onto them.

Everyone wisely kept their mouths shut, not wanting to provoke her further. They wanted to cry but had no tears. If they protested, their salaries might be cut even further. It wasn't the first time Hui Mei had deducted their pay—she was notoriously petty.

Think Peak Masters are filthy rich? You're not wrong—but most of their wealth went into buying resources for their cultivation. Losing their salaries still stung, as they often spent that money on entertainment. What, did you think cultivators didn't need entertainment? Wrong! Without some fun, they'd be frustrated and bored. Not everyone enjoyed cultivating all the time, not everyone is a cultivation addict.

"But Sect Master, weren't you the one who said she would be the first to get the achievement?" a Peak Master cautiously voiced out. The moment the words left his mouth, his expression froze—he realized he had said something he shouldn't have.

'Fuck, me and my loose mouth... 'The Peak Master glanced around, seeing the others looking at him with pity.

"So you're saying it's my fault, huh?" Hui Mei's menacing aura filled the room, making even Tang Ning take a few steps back.

"Sect Master—" the panicked Peak Master tried to explain, but Hui Mei cut him off.

"Three months of your pay are deducted," she said in a neutral voice. The Peak Master's lips twitched, but he wisely kept silent.

'It's still better... she could've cut my salary for the whole year,' he thought in relief—until her next words made him freeze.

"Also, I feel a bit sorry for cutting your salary for three months, so I'll give you a way to earn some money. I'll ask the other Peak Masters to let you handle their paperwork for three months. That way, you can have the chance to earn more contribution points," Hui Mei said in a satisfied tone.

The Peak Master's face turned pale, while the other Peak Masters' eyes lit up with joy.

"Peak Master, I don't think it's necessary... I can't gobble up their share of contribution points," the Peak Master hurriedly tried to refuse.

"Let's ask them, then," Hui Mei smirked, turning to the others.

"No, no, I don't mind."

"Yes, you should take the opportunity since you won't be receiving your contribution points for three months."

All the Peak Masters eagerly agreed. Having someone else do their paperwork? Yes, please! Even if they missed out on contribution points, they'd happily agree. Heck, they'd even be willing to pay contribution points to avoid paperwork.

Mortal or immortal, everyone hates paperwork—it's a universal law.

'These bastards... 'the Peak Master cursed inwardly, staring at his colleagues' eager faces, almost coughing up a mouthful of blood.

"Damn, what kind of luck does the Yang-Yin Sect have? They have two disciples of such talent," said a Peak Master, drawing everyone's attention.

"What do you mean by two disciples?" Hui Mei shifted her gaze from the pale Peak Master she had just punished, frowning at the speaker.

"I meant exactly what I said, Sect Master. Look at the cultivation ranking on the screen," the Peak Master pointed at the display.

Everyone turned their eyes to the screen and opened the cultivation ranking system exclusive to the competition. The first place was occupied by a disciple from the Yang-Yin Sect with Foundation Realm cultivation. They didn't react much—after all, they had already seen the earlier notifications.

However, their expressions froze when they saw the second place.

"Fuck the heavens... another one?" a Peak Master cursed out loud, rubbing his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

The others had similar reactions. The second highest cultivation was also at the Foundation Realm, and the affiliation section confirmed that this disciple also belonged to the Yang-Yin Sect.

The most shocked of all was Hui Mei. She had assumed the first-ranked disciple was likely Wang Ming.

'Is there another disciple as talented as Wang Ming? But how is this possible?' she thought inwardly, her expression turning grim.

The realization hit her hard—the competition would be much more difficult than anticipated. Dealing with Wang Ming alone would have been a hassle, but now another monster had appeared, both from the Yang-Yin Sect.

Was the Yang-Yin Sect trying to leap over the heavens?

"Heavens..." she uttered loudly, her jaw dropping as the next scene unfolded on the screen.
