Sanguosha: I Speedrun Cultivation with Netherworld Tactics

“Wait, how am I the shady one here? My spiritual root was ruined from birth, and I’m physically frail. You’re a cultivation prodigy, and you’re calling me shady?” Xun Ka spread his hands, felt his cultivation surging wildly, and tried to suppress the corners of his mouth as they kept creeping upward. He spoke with a baffled expression.

The other prodigies: “Who with completely ruined spiritual roots could cultivate this fast? Maybe stop that ridiculous rate of progress before you say anything else.”

A madman driven to obsession after taking a beating: “Could it be, could it be that a ruined spiritual root from birth is actually the best physique for cultivation? I understand! I understand! I’ve got it! Just watch me... Aah!”

The clan’s old ancestor: “Young man, I admit you’re strong. But you’ve only cultivated for a short time, while I’ve cultivated for thousands of years. My cultivation has long since reached perfection, flawless and complete. How can you possibly stop me?”

“Heh. Your cultivation is impressive, but now it’s mine. Hand it over!”

Formation master: “I spent my whole life studying formations, yet I never imagined I’d be trapped in place, unable to move, by a talisman with no trace of a formation on it.”

Artifact-forging master: “You’ve got nothing to complain about. I’m the one who got it worse. I worked so hard to forge those items, and that fellow dismantled the lot while shouting ‘finders keepers’ and ‘burning bridges’!”

Xun Ka: “No need to thank me. It was no trouble. The clients asked for it, and you were in the way of my speedrun.”
