The Cannon Fodder Foil Awakens and Strikes Back

As a scion of a prestigious cultivation family, Teng Ao is exceptionally gifted. Raised as a prodigy from childhood, he enjoys countless cultivation resources.

Then one day, he awakens to discover that his world is actually an overpowered male-lead power-fantasy novel about a nobody rising to greatness!

Even worse, he isn't the protagonist. He's the male supporting character destined to be the protagonist's foil and cannon fodder!

At first, his role is to mock and provoke the protagonist whenever he can, inspiring him to work hard. As the protagonist's halo grants him one golden finger after another and sends his cultivation soaring, he eventually surpasses Teng Ao, leaving him as the loser who gets face-slapped again and again!

In the end, Teng Ao suffers severe injuries that destroy his dantian, and his family rejects him. He becomes a complete laughingstock. Meanwhile, the protagonist becomes a sect prodigy, showered with resources, surrounded by beautiful women, and blessed with nothing but smooth sailing...

To avoid that fate, Teng Ao decides to... cultivate twice as hard, steal the protagonist's golden finger, leave him in the dust, and keep mocking him as he fails to catch up!

Along the way, he keeps running into the Demon Path's Venerable Lord, the antagonist the protagonist has been trying to deal with from the start. Since the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Teng Ao thinks they can get along just fine.

But why does this Venerable Lord keep hitting on him?

No way. Romance will only slow down his cultivation...

Damn, this Venerable Lord is so handsome. Anyone who doesn't fall for him can't be a man!
