"Jiang Chen, come out! The Snow Princess has accepted your challenge on her fiance's behalf, Yu Long! She will duel you on the Grand Arena, and everyone in the Scalding Prairie Town will watch!"
A booming voice comes from the crimson-armored knight, and he isn't the only knight surrounding the hotel Jiang Chen is currently in, as there are hundreds of them.
The residents of the Scalding Prairie Town were excited. They have heard the rumor about the infamous Snow Princess, so who would have thought they could see her today?
They said a sliver of the Snow Princess's beautiful face could make any man's heart flutter!
Of course, not everyone is happy with this.
Jiang Chen cursed in his hotel room because this challenge arrived so suddenly. He peeked out of the window, "Damn it, I haven't enjoyed my life long enough, and the boss appeared out of nowhere! How come the Snow Princess appeared here?"
"According to the rumor, the Snow Princess's talent is unfathomable, and her strength is overwhelming, making any genius pale in comparison."
"If I still had the Sovereign Profound Realm's strength, I would happily accept this challenge, but now..."
Jiang Chen transmigrated to this world with a bonus. He actually has two superpowers. One is weapon-making called Unconventional Artifact Maker, and the other is Fake It Till You Make It.
Unconventional Artifact Maker is a superpower that allowed Jiang Chen to shape raw materials into other shapes with his psychic power. He could slightly alter the raw material's property, adding more forces into his weapon, like more cutting power or fire element empowerment.
However, Jiang Chen was suck at manipulating matters. He was a high school student with failing grades before getting transported to this world.
So, his weapon-creating ability is 'naturally' wasted.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen has another superpower called Fake It Till You Make It. This superpower allowed him to create a person and build his reputation, making him stronger as long as others revered him.
Of course, the glaring weakness is easy to see through. Jiang Chen needs the validity of others.
If Jiang Chen's reputation goes downhill, he'd return to becoming a weak, whiny high schooler.
What Jiang Chen didn't realize was that he signed his own downfall. After all, he could have targeted other people to make his reputation grow but greedily chose the most powerful and mysterious genius in the Profound Sky Continent, the Lost Heaven Sect's Young Leader, Yu Long.
Then, again, Jiang Chen doesn't know that the recent fall of Four Great Sacred Grounds has something to do with Yu Long. Shadow Realm has silenced every faction related to them.
Well, it was bound to happen once Jiang Chen awakened the Fake It Till You Make It. After all, any transmigrated person with a working mind would stay low upon arriving in a new world and slowly build their strength.
"JIANG CHEN, COME OUT! OR IS THE INFAMOUS SPEAR-WIELDING GENIUS AFRAID?"
Hearing this provocation, Jiang Chen cursed even more. "Damn it, I'd have killed you people if I had my strength back."
Jiang Chen surveyed his hotel room before grabbing the thick bed cover and altering it to be a cloak. Then, he added a darkness enhancement to the cloak, causing it to have a stealth-like quality.
After adorning the cloak, Jiang Chen made a shovel and dug a way out for himself. He didn't know that his actions never left some people's senses.
Three hours later, Jiang Chen successfully made his way to a dam made of reinforced rocks.
He looked down from the cave he made and laughed, "Haha, I am still invincible!"
"If invincible means running, then congratulations, you're one." A chuckle echoed in the dam.
Jiang Chen's face condensed into disbelief as the surrounding area filled with residents of Scalding Prairie Town, including the crimson-armored knights of the Divine Phoenix Empire.
Feng Xue'er, Hong Guan, and Yuyan are standing on the Fiery Crowned Falcon, a Sovereign Profound Beast. Feeling the pressure from the bird alone enough to make Jiang Chen break into cold sweats.
"W-Who are you?" Jiang Chen steeled his resolve, trying to find a way out for himself.
Feng Xue'er smiled faintly, "Oh, you don't even know me?"
"That's weird. You've been very loud about my fiance these days, claiming you're better than him."
"Say Jiang Chen... Your first appearance is Navy Tide Nation, on the shore city, Blackrock City, and then travel far to the Divine Phoenix Empire, challenging many geniuses."
"Weirdly enough, all your defeated enemies are on the same level as you with one or two level differences, as if you're afraid of challenging people too strong for your level."
"You furthermore played with so many women on your journey. Most of them were married before you met them, and the rest are rich young ladies of their clans."
"After using them for carnal pleasure, you ran and left them alone."
"You don't know this, but some of those women are pregnant due to your actions."
"You also stole their wealth, which makes you worse than a scum."
"T-This, you're lying!" Jiang Chen played with some women for their money, but he always used protection.
"Am I?" Feng Xue'er was known for her innocent nature. Of course, she grew more mature recently due to the chaos caused by Pandora to the Divine Phoenix Empire.
The Divine Phoenix Empire was 'unfortunately' left with no male heir and had no choice but to coronate her as the crown princess. From that point onward, Feng Xue'er became well-versed in managing the empire, seeing the light and dark sides of the world.
Of course, Feng Xue'er prefers the light side.
However, sometimes, Feng Xue'er has to be firm and use the dark side to protect the light side of her empire.
Although what Feng Xue'er stated about Jiang Chen earlier was correct, some 'facts' have been altered for good to suppress his reputation even further.
Sure enough, the opinion of the Scalding Praire Town's residents on Jiang Chen drops sharply. Some young ladies who used to adore him also curse him in their hearts.
Jiang Chen's expression changed rapidly, "You..."
He realized Feng Xue'er somehow knew about his superpower's weakness and exploited it now.
Feng Xue'er said calmly, "You can't run, Jiang Chen. Because everyone in the Profound Sky Continent will soon know about your deeds, whether they are accurate or not."
"Your only way out is to fight me."
"Unfortunately, your cultivation declined faster than you can imagine..."
"Spirit Profound Realm already? That's gotta hurt your confidence."
Meanwhile, Yuyan was amazed, 'Damn, is it my imagination or Xue'er has learned to be sharp-mouthed?'
'No, you didn't.' Hong Guan said telepathically.
'I think Xue'er learned this from Qingyue. You know that girl is ruthless when exposing someone.'
'Then, again, this is good for Xue'er.'
Jiang Chen paled upon realizing how fucked he was. He stared at Feng Xue'er fearfully, "You're one scary woman."
"It's Your Highness for you," Feng Xue'er replied indifferently.
"So, are you going to fight or not?"
Jiang Chen's body trembled as he pulled a black tube over two meters tall and fired a menacing red orb at Feng Xue'er. "Then, take this, BITCH!"
Feng Xue'er sneered, "As expected from someone your level..."
"You're not like Brother Long."
As Feng Xue'er said that line, an intense heat and phoenix cry echoed in the dam. The menacing red orb was about to explode and engulf the surrounding area in a powerful explosion, but an orange-red flame swallowed it with extreme heat instead.
Woosh!
Feng Xue'er flicked her finger, sending the orange-red fireball away and causing a firework-like explosion in the sky.
"Weak, so weak..." Her voice echoed in the dam.
"Yet you dare to challenge Brother Long, you ant..."
Jiang Chen slumped to the ground hopelessly, having all energy drained from his body.
Yuyan flashed to Jiang Chen's side and sealed his body, mind, and energy with her divine power. She couldn't let this guy die yet.
"Mission Complete~!" She gave Feng Xue'er a thumbs up.
"Good job, Xue'er."
Hong Guan also praised Feng Xue'er, "You're one step closer to being a true empress."
Feng Xue'er shyly twirled her hair and giggled, "Hehe, Xue'er still has a long way to go."
That day, an otherworlder was 'quickly' caught.
