I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

An Lin’s mind was completely adrift, a look of incredulity appearing on his face.

“Xiao Hong, come here and slap me in the face with all your strength!” He felt as if he definitely hadn’t woken up yet.

Xiao Hong made her way toward him as per request. One of her green leaves whistled through the air before making contact with An Lin’s face.

Slap!

A terrifying amount of power was transferred into An Lin’s face, the force of the slap sending him flying like a cannonball, straight through one wall before tumbling into the adjacent room…

“Cough, cough… Holy f*ck, Xiao Hong, are you trying to f*cking kill me?” An Lin exclaimed angrily whilst massaging his red and swollen cheek.

“Ah… sorry, master. Xiao Hong was not aware of the extent of her strength.” Xiao Hong ran to An Lin in a panic.

“Alright, whatever, you just broke through so it’s understandable that you can’t control your strength yet.”

An Lin sighed deeply to himself. That slap had really hurt, which proved that this was not a dream.

He raised his head, only to find Sun Shenglian looking down at him, her expression cold to the extreme.

You’re reading on AllNovel Thanks!

She only had some revealing underwear on, exposing most of her body for An Lin to see.

An ominous sense of foreboding began to well up in An Lin’s heart.

He hurriedly opened his mouth to explain. “Listen, this was all just a mis…”

Slap!

Another burst of power swept him up before he could finish his sentence.

His face had just been slapped again and his body flew like a cannonball through yet another wall, before tumbling to the ground…

“Master!” Xiao Hong ran toward An Lin in a panic.

An Lin experienced a bout of dizziness as both sides of his face began to swell up.

“Sigh, what did I do to deserve this…”

He stood up with a gloomy expression on his swollen face.

And then, he saw Xuanyuan Cheng looking at him with a solemn expression.

“Student An Lin, how could you do something so disgusting?”

Xuanyuan Cheng said coldly, his expression full of disgust.

Tears began to well up in An Lin’s eyes. “Big Brother Cheng, it’s not what it looks like!”

After much trouble, An Lin finally managed to explain what had happened to Xuanyuan Cheng and Sun Shenglian.

Although, his explanation fell on deaf ears in Sun Shenglian’s case.

After all, the objective truth was that he’d seen her in an almost nude state. She was already letting him off the hook lightly by refraining from slapping him again.

After sorting out these unprecedented mishaps, An Lin returned to his room.

He used his divine sense to look into his jade temple once again, hoping that something might’ve changed, only to find that it was still the same bead floating in place, emitting a golden light.

He then experimented with a flame immortal spell. The vital energy surged through the golden bead, being purified and increasing in power as it went, resulting in a flame that was more pure and higher in temperature.

An Lin stared in silence at the flame dancing on his palm.

It seemed like the bead functioned much the same as a spirit root.

On top of that, the bead would operate more quickly and emit a stronger light when using immortal spells.

Putting all of these attributes into context, he could basically determine that this was a beast core…

What the f*ck!?

Why was everyone else able to materialize spirit roots, but he was only able to materialize a beast core instead?

What the hell is going on!?

An Lin suddenly felt absolutely crestfallen, as if his life had lost all meaning.

And so, he went to find Xu Xiaolan.

An Lin: “Xiaolan, what would it entail if a human were to materialize a beast core?”

Xu Xiaolan answered casually. “It entails that the human is, in fact, an animal.”

She was immediately greeted to the sight of tears welling up in An Lin’s eyes.

Xu Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise. “What happened, An Lin? Has someone been bullying you?”

An Lin shook his head. “No, I just want to have some quiet time alone…”

He obviously wasn’t going to admit that it was Xu Xiaolan who was bullying him.

Following this, he went to Xuanyuan Cheng.

An Lin: “Big Brother Cheng, what would it entail if a human were to materialize a beast core?”

Xuanyuan Cheng answered with a serious expression. “That’s impossible, humans can only materialize spirit roots, how could they materialize beast cores instead?”

An Lin continued to persist. “I’m only speaking in a hypothetical sense, are there any factors that can result in this?”

Xuanyuan Cheng pondered to himself for a moment. “I think that there are two possibilities. The first one would be, that the person was actually part of the beast clan, but this was unbeknownst to them. The second possibility would be reverse-evolution, you should know this, right? Monkeys are a part of the beast clan, so this means the person is about to transform into a monkey!”

An Lin was shell-shocked upon hearing this.

He was sure that he was birthed by a human, so he definitely wasn’t a member of the beast clan.

As for devolving back into a monkey?

F*ck off! What kind of bullsh*t is this!?

An Lin left in total despair at Xuanyuan Cheng’s words.

Then, he thought of the kind and beautiful Su Qianyun.

An Lin: “Student Su, what would it entail if a human were to materialize a beast core?”

Su Qianyun blinked her pretty eyes before answering with a serious expression. “If a person was to materialize a beast core, that would render them unable to progress in cultivation! Think about it, all the cultivation methods and immortal spells in the Spirit Nurturing Stage require a spirit root. If a person was to materialize a beast core, there would definitely be areas of conflict when cultivating immortal spells and cultivation techniques. On top of that…”

An Lin listened to Su Qianyun’s analysis, his heart growing colder by the second…

He trudged out of Su Qianyun’s room, feeling exhausted, before arriving at the living quarters of their homeroom teacher.

An Lin was very anxious, as Sword Immortal Ling Xiao was his last hope.

A smile immediately appeared on Sword Immortal Ling Xiao’s face upon seeing An Lin. “Student An Lin, congratulations on successfully materializing a spirit root last night and breaking through to the Spirit Nurturing Stage!”

An Lin’s heart felt as if it was pierced by a sword and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard the words ‘successfully materializing a spirit root’.

He forced a smile onto his face. “Thank you, sir, I’ve actually come here with a question…”

“What sort of question? Ask away.” Sword Immortal Ling Xiao laughed heartily.

“I want to ask, what would it entail if a human were to materialize a beast core?” An Lin asked with anticipation in his eyes.

Sword Immortal Ling Xiao laughed boisterously. “Why would you ask such a strange question? Could it be that there exists such a retard that materialized a beast core? ”

An Lin winced slightly. Sir, the retard you’re referring is me!

“Well… the thought suddenly occurred to me so I just decided to ask out of curiosity.

“You see, spirit beasts have beast cores and evil spirits have spirit cores… Do you think it would be possible for a human to somehow materialize a beast core?”

An Lin fought to suppress his grief, feigning an expression of curiosity.

Sword Immortal Ling Xiao patted An Lin’s shoulder with a solemn expression. “Young people like you shouldn’t be thinking about weird stuff like this! During my long life so far, I’ve never heard of a cultivator that materialized a beast core. If such a cultivator truly existed, they would definitely be taken to the Heavenly Court to be dissected. If such a day ever comes, I’ll take you with me to witness the spectacle.”

An Lin stared at Sword Immortal Ling Xiao’s expression of concern, feeling as if he was about to burst into tears.

Witness what spectacle? If that time comes, I’ll be the one that’s being dissected!

F*ck, I can’t do this anymore.

An Lin felt like he was about to go crazy if he continued to ask around.

He bade farewell to his homeroom teacher and stalked around in the yard.

Everyone’s words began to well up in his heart, plunging him into complete and utter despair.

He walked to the pond and looked at his handsome reflection in the water.

Could it be that I really am a member of the beast clan?

Or could it be that… I’m about to become a monkey?

I’m not a fake cultivator, am I?

An Lin became more and more upset as he considered his situation.

Tears began to slide down his face.

Pitter, patter, pitter, patter…

A series of ripples began to appear on the surface of the water…
