The Sect Is Falling Apart? Summon the College Students!

My new novel, Bouncing Back and Forth Between Hero and Demon King, is now open for readers. The blurb is below. If you're interested, please check it out~ Mwah

Gu Dang Jiu became the 128th sect leader of Ling Xiao Sect.

The good news: Ling Xiao Sect, the greatest sect in the cultivation world, has the deepest and richest legacy.

The bad news: That was thousands of years ago.

Aside from looking impressive, the sect is useless. Gu Dang Jiu has only a spirit sword, the sect leader's seal, and a few servants at her side. The sect has even come close to being struck off the cultivation world's roster after placing last in the sect tournament two years in a row... At this critical moment, a System appeared out of nowhere.

[The Summon College Students System is at your service]

To revive the sect, Gu Dang Jiu decides to work with the System, summon college student players to build up the sect, and lead it back to the top of the cultivation world!

On the first day, Gu Dang Jiu confidently summons the college student players to gather.

Someone in the crowd raises a hand: Um, Sect Leader, can I stand with my roommate?

Gu Dang Jiu: ...

On the second day, Gu Dang Jiu enthusiastically teaches them breathing exercises.

A college student player who hasn't even achieved inedia points at the spirit sword floating beneath her feet: Sect Leader, I want to learn that!

Gu Dang Jiu: ...

On the third day, Gu Dang Jiu leads them in formation training, full of ambition.

Player A: What did the Sect Leader just say?

Player B: No idea. I wasn't listening.

Gu Dang Jiu: ...

In despair, the System helpfully suggests: Would you like to try a new reward system?

System: Attend ten breathing exercise lessons to earn ten experience points, plus one free ticket to pick herbs in the spirit herb garden.

Gu Dang Jiu: Nobody would pick spirit herbs even if you paid them. Who would...

Player: Whoa, it's a free experience, and we can take a spirit herb home? I'm in!

System: Besides experience points and special item rewards, you can also earn academic credits.

Gu Dang Jiu: What's an academic credit...

Player: Wow, let's go, let's go! For the credits!

System: Students with excellent results can be promoted straight to inner sect disciples and enjoy the sect's extensive benefits!

Gu Dang Jiu: That's always been standard practice...

Player: Whoa, direct admission! Here I come!

A year later, at the sect tournament, every sect was waiting to laugh at Ling Xiao Sect. Then Ling Xiao Sect's disciples dazzled the crowd and took first place in event after event, ultimately winning the overall championship. And the sect leader of Ling Xiao Sect wielded the Ling Xiao Sword Technique to turn the tide, leading the sect back to the top of the cultivation world.

Cultivation world: Ling Xiao Sect is terrifyingly powerful!

***Coming soon:

The demon realm and the mainland have been at odds ever since their creation.

Lazarus I, the most powerful Demon King in the history of the demon realm, inherited the courage and strength of all the Demon Kings before him. Prophecy says he is destined to lead the demon realm up from the abyss.

Saint Solan, the greatest hero in the history of the mainland, is the favored child of the gods. Legend says he is destined to lead the mainland in a campaign against the demon realm and spread the gods' blessings far and wide.

Everything is perfect, except for one thing.

The Demon King and the hero are the same person.

Every hundred years, the Temple of Light chooses the strongest hero to fight the demon realm. Solan trained hard from childhood, determined to become a hero and protect world peace!

Then Solan discovered that he was the Demon King.

"Your Majesty, we finally found you! Everyone's nearly starved to death..." Solan stared in shock at the demon who clung to his leg, weeping bitterly, and felt his whole world collapse.

Finding out you're the Demon King when you're supposed to be a hero? That's absurd! But before Solan could refuse, he was dragged to the demon realm and made king.

The demons, gaunt with hunger: We welcome Your Majesty back to the throne! So when are we going to conquer the mainland?

The newly appointed Demon King: You're all starving and still thinking about attacking humanity? You never run out of energy, do you?

Solan points to the barren land of the demon realm: Why don't we try farming first?

The demons: ?

Both the demon realm and the mainland were fully won over by their new leader.

When the mainland suddenly comes under attack by demons, Solan is the first to wipe them out.

Mainland: As expected of the hero! He was sharp enough to spot the demon spies! Long live the hero!

Demon realm: As expected of the Demon King! He purged his enemies so decisively and ruthlessly! Long live the Demon King!

When the demon realm is ambushed by the mainland, Solan leads his troops in repelling the humans.

Mainland: As expected of the hero! He stepped up in our moment of crisis and brought every soldier home safely!

Demon realm: As expected of our king! He repelled the mainland's attack all by himself! What incredible power!

Solan, desperately guarding his secret identity: No one knows how exhausted I am...

Juggling both sides is exhausting, but it's nothing when it's for world peace. Still, living a double life isn't exactly foolproof. Little mishaps keep happening, but Solan manages to smooth things over every time, until the prophesied war arrives.

The demons, who look down on humans: "Hmph, our king is a once-in-a-generation talent! He won over the centaurs and unified the demon realm. Now he's about to launch a full-scale assault on the mainland!"

The humans, who hate demons with all their hearts: "Hah, our hero is one in a million! He punishes evil and protects the mainland. Now he's about to charge into the demon realm!"

The Demon King and hero, simultaneously laboring for both the mainland and the demon realm: Huh? That's not me! I didn't do it!
