Chapter 216: Superman vs. Golden Horn Beast Mutant

As for overcoming the heart demon, Wu Xian didn't delay—he flew straight to Venus in the A Nightmare on Elm Street world after dealing with Freddy, absorbing stellar energy while running his fourth-rank gene lock at full power to continuously raise his strength cap, luring out the hidden heart demon.

And then… there was nothing else.

Wu Xian once again employed the most common group-beating tactic of the righteous faction, repeatedly shattering the weak, helpless, pitiful heart demon, brutally tormenting it until it lost all will to live and chose self-annihilation—thus passing the heart demon trial, and Wu Xian smoothly advanced to mid-level fourth rank, awakening the mental light of 【He Hua Zi Zai】.

As for why, after returning to the Main God Space, he pretended to be controlled by the heart demon… what else could it be but a self-inflicted wound strategy?

BOOM————!!!

With a single punch, a brutal, irrational force erupted, ignoring Zheng Zha's crimson lotus karma fire, striking directly against his chest.

Then, with a thunderous crash, Zheng Zha's body shot backward like a cannonball, slamming hard into the Main God Space's invisible barrier, sending ripples through the space, before collapsing like mud onto the ground, head lolling to one side, instantly unconscious.

Looking up at the Main God Hall, the floor was now littered with bodies—aside from Chu Xuan, who had long since vanished, only Zhu Wen, Zhao Ying, and a few female artificial humans remained.

The other members of the Zhongzhou team had all been effortlessly defeated by Wu Xian in that fleeting instant, offering not the slightest resistance, pathetically weak.

Masterpiece of the world—Superman resurrected!

No, it's not that they're weak—it's that Wu Xian is simply too strong now: fourth-rank gene lock, S-class Superman bloodline, plus attribute stacking from other worlds.

With so many buffs stacked, even a typical fourth-rank high-tier cultivator, without activating mental light, could be crushed into two little pancakes with a single punch—let alone the Zhongzhou team, which didn't even have a proper fourth-rank beginner. This was outright dimensional suppression—he hadn't even exerted himself, and they were all down.

"Still too weak, though. If this keeps up, I'll truly become a babysitter."

Wu Xian sighed inwardly, silently resolving to thoroughly train this bunch of layabouts before the next horror movie began—the upcoming Fourth-Rank Round Team battle would be their test…

Back to the matter at hand.

As Wu Xian appeared to be swallowed by the heart demon, about to cruelly destroy them, Zhan Lan—who had been locked in her room—finally stepped out, her expression grave as she activated her mental control ability, attempting to awaken Wu Xian's consciousness.

To be fair, this was extremely dangerous, especially for a Lunhuizhe who had activated mental light—it was essentially suicide.

But Wu Xian was acting, and he couldn't possibly hurt Zhan Lan, so he feigned clutching his head in agony, then cast a final glance at Zhan Lan and Zhao Ying, both worried, growled "Go!" and slammed himself violently toward the Main God orb.

At the last possible moment, Zhan Lan used telekinesis to drag everyone back to her room, as a terrifying, vast energy surge erupted instantly, flooding the entire Main God Space hall.

After an unknown length of time, they emerged from the room, only to see the Main God Space reduced to ruins, and Wu Xian lying unconscious beneath the giant orb.

What followed required no further elaboration: the group had the Main God fully repair Wu Xian—but he remained unconscious.

At that moment, Chu Xuan spoke up, suggesting this might be tied to the heart demon; the Main God couldn't effectively treat such damage, and only someone skilled in mental power with experience overcoming heart demons could awaken him.

Someone skilled in mental power with heart demon experience… well, that was practically shouting out Zhan Lan and Zhao Ying's ID numbers.

The Zhongzhou team exchanged uneasy glances, while "unconscious" Wu Xian gave Chu Xuan an internal thumbs-up.

No more words—so long as this goal is achieved, I'll make sure you reach mid-level fourth rank and restore your long-desired human emotions!

Cut to Zhan Lan's room.

Wu Xian slowly opened his eyes, pale as death, looking like a man with only days to live.

Okay, still acting—but to make it convincing, Wu Xian used the all-powerful gene lock and Dual Complete Hand to simulate symptoms of genetic collapse and severe mental damage.

After all, Zhan Lan and Zhao Ying weren't fools—if they scanned him with the Main God's light, they'd know instantly whether he was truly injured; if he failed to sell the act, he'd not only lose sympathy but make their situation even more awkward.

Compared to that, a fatal wound meant nothing.

Only by enduring the harshest hardships can one rise above others.

If you won't even endure a little suffering, how can you expect to have both arms around you, and lie back while becoming a master?

Pfft, dream on!

Thus, Wu Xian dragged his frail, sickly body around, acting pitifully weak and helpless—begging for comfort, hugs, and kisses, like a child capable of moving planets—leaving the two women flushed and deeply embarrassed.

But to help him recover as soon as possible, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and care for him meticulously, inevitably leading to physical contact—bathing him, wiping his body, and several times Zhao Ying's forehead began steaming.

Seeing the plotline pushed to its limit, Wu Xian finally revealed his true intent: during one of their caregiving sessions, he claimed he had once exchanged for a cultivation method at the Main God, specifically designed for soul cultivation through dual cultivation, capable of rapidly repairing soul and spirit damage—he asked Zhan Lan and Zhao Ying to assist him in practicing it together, so he could recover faster.

Wu Xian solemnly insisted this dual cultivation method was entirely pure, involving only the soul—ask the Main God to verify it, he swore, if he lied, he'd turn into a puppy.

Yes, to achieve his goal of a four-person bed, Wu Xian had indeed found a similar method at the Main God—not cheap either; just purchasing the manual cost a C-rank side quest, and outright exchanging it required at least an A-rank enhancement.

On the other side, Zhan Lan and Zhao Ying were skeptical—but after confirming the existence of such a dual cultivation method at the Main God, they reluctantly agreed.

And then… at first, it was indeed proper, since the Main God never lied—it promised soul healing, and nothing physical. But Wu Xian was not a proper man—he kept getting "emotionally overwhelmed" during the cultivation.

Finally, after one triple cultivation session, Wu Xian, "lost in his soul," succumbed to lust, roared, and tackled Zhao Ying to the ground. Zhan Lan, watching in horror, rushed forward to stop him—only to have Wu Xian grab her wrist and pull her into the fray as well.

That day, the righteous Superman battled the Golden Horn Beast, while an evil-minded mutant launched a surprise attack—the three clashed in one place, shaking the stars, shattering the heavens, as earth, fire, water, and wind trembled with impending collapse.
