How come I was born a deity?

Chapter 36: Isn't this a dead end?

Shen Nianxu almost doubted whether she had misheard. How could this guy have learned the abilities that others were born with?

You're a real master thief! You steal everything you can!

"Really?" Shen Nianxu looked more disgusted than if she had eaten shit. "Don't lie to me."

Chen Qi gave a mysterious look, "Hehehe, you'll see when I use it on you."

Shen Nianxu's expression changed drastically. "Don't!"

Yao Ning's charm only works on men, so Shen Nianxu didn't know the specific effects of this move.

However, she had already witnessed many men fall at Yao Ning's feet, and even the previous owner of the bookstore, such a serious and irritable person, was affected by Yao Ning's abilities more than once.

If this were used on myself...

That would be outrageous!

Seeing that Shen Nianxu was about to run away, Chen Qi decisively used his spiritual energy to activate the charm technique.

"Wow!"

Shen Nianxu let out a scream and closed her eyes in despair.

But strangely, it seems that nothing happened.

Shen Nianxu waited a few more seconds to make sure she was still conscious.

"Um?"

She was a little confused, then reached out and touched herself, confirming that she had control over her body.

Chen Qi was also puzzled. He was certain that he had succeeded in using it, but it seemed that Shen Nianxu had not changed at all.

Could it be that I misunderstood?

Shen Nianxu was stunned for a few seconds, then realized something and said sarcastically, "It seems your learning ability doesn't work every time, huh? It's useless this time, isn't it?"

"That's strange," Chen Qi scratched his head, "I think I've learned it, so how could that be?"

Snapped--

Shen Nianxu's face darkened, but she maintained a friendly smile, emanating a dangerous aura. She reached out her right hand and gripped Chen Qi's chin. "You brat, you want to attack me, huh?"

"Ahem, this is just a misunderstanding," Chen Qi said seriously. "It's absolutely not about trying to dampen your spirits and solidify my authority as the boss, nor is it about lust..."

Enraged, Shen Nianxu pinched Chen Qi's cheeks, squeezing his mouth into a fish-like shape.

But the next second, Shen Nianxu's expression suddenly changed. "Hey, no, what are you going to do?"

Before Chen Qi could react to what was happening, a pair of hands suddenly landed on his shoulders.

Chen Qi: "?"

He turned around and saw Qin Bo staring straight at him, still with that cold expression, but his breathing had become rapid without him realizing it.

Chen Qi: "..."

Wait a minute, isn't something wrong?

Shouldn't this trick work on the opposite sex?

Why does it only work on men?

Shen Nianxu subconsciously distanced herself from the two of them, her face full of disgust. "Your learning ability is as good as ever. I'm sorry I doubted you just now."

Chen Qi cried out in alarm, "Please save me first!"

Hearing the exclamation, Qin Bo finally came to his senses and slapped himself hard across the face, only then did he fully wake up.

"What...what happened to me just now?"

Chen Qi and Shen Nianxu: "Ask yourself!"

Everyone thought that the charm technique was specifically for the opposite sex, but now Chen Qi almost proved it with his own virginity, that it was actually specifically for men.

Even if the user is a male!

"That was terrifying," Chen Qi said, feeling a wave of fear wash over him. He ran his hand along his chest. "I can't bear to think about what would happen if I had a deep conversation with a man."

Qin Bo also wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He was extremely cautious and vigilant, and successfully evaded the allure of the various demons in the Demon Hall.

But Qin Bo never expected that he would fall under the spell of bewitching Chen Qi!

Thankfully, I came to my senses in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"If you ask me, that move is absolutely brilliant," Shen Nianxu said. "Qin Bo didn't even realize what he was doing. If you used this move during the newcomer evaluation, wouldn't that be a sure kill?"

Chen Qi thought about it and realized that it made perfect sense.

In the most crucial match, if the opponent is male, one can directly use this ability to make the opponent surrender while in a dazed state.

Wouldn't that mean we've won?

Holy crap, that's absolutely brilliant!

Although it also has a significant impact on one's reputation...

"Oh? Are you also participating in this year's newcomer evaluation?" Qin Bo, who had come to his senses, asked this question.

"Also?" Chen Qi caught the word. "You too?"

Qin Bo nodded, "Yes, my brother participated in the newcomer evaluation two years ago, and it's my turn this year."

"So we're competitors after all," Chen Qi said, shaking hands with Qin Bo. "How's your ability?"

"It's just average, nothing compared to my brother."

In response, Chen Qi simply patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. My current skills are just average. If we work hard, we can still get a good ranking in the newcomer evaluation."

Shen Nianxu looked at Chen Qi with an expression as if he were an idiot. "Why don't you ask him what level of cultivator he is?"

Chen Qi looked at Qin Bo and asked, "What level of cultivator are you?"

Qin Bo replied, "I was promoted to a fifth-level cultivator just two days ago."

Chen Qi: "..."

Are you sure you're a newbie?

Fifth order?

Are you kidding me?

"His comparison is with his brother, so of course they're different," Shen Nianxu explained. "Boss Qin's talent is among the best in the cultivation world. When he participated in the newcomer assessment, he had only been cultivating for a little over two years and was already a fifth-level cultivator."

Qin Bo pointed to himself, "It took me three years to just step into the threshold of a fifth-level cultivator."

Chen Qi: "..."

In the bookstore, there was Hu Yao, who was equivalent to a third-level cultivator; Qin Bo, who was a fifth-level cultivator; and Shen Nianxu, who could scare away He Yan and his bodyguards.

How come with so many people around, I'm still the weakest?

Could you please give me, the boss, a break?

Moreover, Chen Qi remembered that Wang Shande had said that even in previous newcomer assessments, having a second-tier level was enough to secure an A-level assessment, and having a third-tier level was enough to secure a top-ten ranking.

How come I know that I'm either at the fifth rank or on my way to the fifth rank?

Whether it's Xu Yangzi from Shangqing Palace, He Wenchong from the He family, or Qin Bo in front of us, they all seem to be quite extraordinary.

"I know what you're worried about," Qin Bo said. "Don't worry, Xu Yangzi and He Wenchong already participated in the newcomer evaluation last year, so it has nothing to do with us this year."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good..."

"But correspondingly, there are a few more troublesome newcomers this year," Qin Bo suddenly changed the subject, "The competition for the top ten this year is even more terrifying than in previous years; the third rank is just the threshold."

Chen Qi: "..."

You don't actually have to add that sentence.

Upon hearing this, Shen Nianxu became depressed once again.

They weren't strong enough to begin with, and this year the competition is even fiercer.

Isn't this a dead end?
