Cultivation Begins with Skill Points - Chapter 254: Half-step Xuandan

“Reincarnated as an extra destined to die? Hell no! I’ll rewrite this story myself!”Charles was just a college student addicted to video games, pulling all-nighters and barely passing his exams… until he woke up as Rian Cole, the most despised member of a powerful clan. A background character. A loser. But above all…A dead man walking with an expiration date.In the original story, Rian Cole was born with uncontrollable lightning powers. He was shunned, abused, and ultimately thrown away as cannon fodder to buy time for the clan leader fighting against the hero.But Charles has no intention of playing that role.Armed with his gaming knowledge and an unbreakable stubbornness, Charles will forge his own path—even if it means defying fate, breaking this world’s rules, and shocking everyone who ever looked down on him.No system. No cheats. And Rian’s body doesn’t always do what he wants.And worst of all… the girls in this world are insane!

In a world torn apart by rifts that release dangerous monsters, Espers—humans imbued with powerful abilities—serve as humanity's last line of defense. But the power of an Esper comes with a price. Overuse of their abilities leads to dangerous corruption, a force that can destroy them from the inside out. This is where Guides come in: individuals with the unique ability to calm the corruption within Espers and restore their balance.Rowan Mercer, an S-class Guide, is one of the best in his field, capable of stabilizing even the most dangerous Espers. He has worked quietly behind the scenes, helping those in need, but his life takes a dramatic turn when he is called to work with Lucian Vaughn, an S-class Esper whose immense power and unstable corruption levels make him a dangerous threat to himself and others.Lucian, a tall, stoic, and enigmatic figure, has long fought against the growing corruption within him. At first, his relationship with Rowan is purely professional—Rowan as his Guide, helping him to stay in control. However, as their interactions grow more frequent, their bond deepens in ways neither expected. What started as a simple duty soon turns into a complex relationship where power, trust, and vulnerability collide.As the world around them faces escalating threats from rifts, Rowan and Lucian must navigate not only their personal challenges but also the dangerous world of Espers and Guides. Their bond will be tested as they fight together against the corrupting forces that threaten them both.In Corrupted Bonds, survival isn’t just about battling monsters from the rifts—it's about fighting the darkness within themselves and finding a way to stay connected in a world that’s constantly pulling them apart.

The pond fish crossed.
Dressed as the only daughter of the once beautiful city master of Baicheng, now the male protagonist is going to be his wife.
There are appalling criminal records such as poisoning the heroine, assassinating the villain Bai Yueguang, and humiliating the flawed and sick villain.
In the opening situation of this hell mode, the first task released by the portable system is: – Save the world.
Chi Yu said solemnly: “It seems that my life is to be a hero of salvation. The road is long and long, and I will search up and down!”
More than ten minutes after taking the oath, she was crushed by the villain, the Great Demon King.
…
Chiyu: “???”
To fuck me on purpose? Is such a difficult copy still necessary? Is the garbage system thinking about P eating!
“I’m dead, and the whole text is finished and sprinkled.”
System: “No, you can revive infinitely until you complete the mission of saving the world.”
…
After half a month.
Chi Yu met the villain, the great devil again, and was pierced through his chest with a sword.
Two more months.
He was held in the arms of the villain, the great devil, and used as a shield for human flesh.
Chiyu: “…the mouth is fragrant.”
Five years later.
Chi Yu, who endured humiliation and was disabled and determined, successfully revitalized the love line of the original hero and heroine CP, which rekindled his fighting spirit, suppressed the villain, and saved the world.
After the incident, the clothes went away, and he hid himself deeply in the name, and “died” in the war.
…
However, her “death” collapsed across the board.
The Great Demon King ran wild and slaughtered the world.
System: “…We don’t know what went wrong, let’s do it again, shall we?”
Chiyu: “@#￥ system, you don’t have a mother.”

PS: Don’t look at the brutality of the copywriting, this article is 1v1, the love line is sweet and petty without abuse, the plot is Su Shuang sand sculpture (special settings, except for a little bit of abuse of the heroine)
The male protagonist does not have Bai Yueguang. The first generation only likes to do things, and the second generation only likes Chiyu.
