Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

Chapter 52: The Fastest Downfall of a Child of Destiny

The students of Jixia Academy never expected Qin Xian to suddenly strike! Although there was bad blood between Jixia Academy and the Imperial Academy, it wasn’t to the point of a life-and-death feud. To these students, it was merely a matter of disliking each other.

Yet, Qin Xian didn’t hesitate; he acted without warning, and none of them had even provoked him! 

In just a few short seconds, under the assault of Qiu Bo and the other Qin family experts, over twenty students from Jixia Academy were reduced to only three or four survivors. 

“Qin Xian, what are you doing!?” 

“Are you crazy!?”

The surviving Jixia Academy students were both shocked and furious, staring at Qin Xian in disbelief, as if they were looking at a madman. In their eyes, Qin Xian indeed seemed like a complete madman—a crazed lunatic through and through.

They were students of Jixia Academy, one of the top three academies, whose current master, Xia Qiancheng, was a level 79 expert, just one step away from becoming a legendary figure! 

Most Jixia graduates held key positions in various imperial departments, military corps, and major guilds. 

Yet, Qin Xian had ordered the killing of Jixia Academy’s students without a second thought! No matter how powerful the Qin family was, Jixia Academy would never let this go. They would surely demand an explanation from the Qin family.

Li Yang, too, was stunned, his face full of shock. Even though he harbored great ill will towards Jixia Academy, his initial plan was merely to drive them away. Yet, Qin Xian had outright killed them!

Although shocked, Li Yang quickly followed Qin Xian’s lead, attacking one of the Jixia Academy students with a cold smirk. He saw this as an opportunity to gain Qin Xian’s favor, possibly becoming one of his trusted followers.

Li Yang’s combat strength was no joke, and he soon had one of the Jixia students cornered, forcing them into the mist.

As bodies lay scattered on the ground, Qin Xian remained expressionless. This was how he had always operated—when the time was right, he acted without hesitation. Xiao Ming was from Jixia Academy, which only made Qin Xian more determined to strike. 

If he missed this chance and Xiao Ming returned to Jixia Academy, it would be much harder to deal with him. 

But now, Xiao Ming was right in front of him, and they were outside the safety of the academy. Qin Xian made a decisive move without looking back—better to kill first and deal with the consequences later.

As for the repercussions…

Qin Xian’s eyes darkened. If he killed all the Jixia Academy students, no one would know it was him, and there would be no consequences.

Xiao Ming trembled, his face pale. He never expected things to escalate to this level! Just moments ago, he was thinking about entering the Shattered Heaven dungeon to quickly grow stronger—all he needed was one opportunity. 

Now, his senior brothers and sisters had all met untimely deaths, and he was staring death in the face.

Looking at the bodies littering the ground, Xiao Ming’s heart filled with pain and rage. However, alongside his fury, a deep sense of fear took hold.

Was he really going to die here?

Xiao Ming suddenly felt like the situation was surreal. Death had always seemed like a distant concept. Even though he was an orphan, his life had gone relatively smoothly. 

In high school, he turned the tables on bullies who tormented him. Several school beauties had taken a liking to him. 

He awakened an incredibly powerful talent and profession during his college entrance exam, drawing the attention of Jixia Academy. His life felt like the script of a typical protagonist.

Yet now, just as things were about to begin, was it all going to end? What kind of protagonist dies at the start of their story!?

Xiao Ming’s body shuddered as he stared at the emotionless Qin Xian, his fear intensifying. He certainly didn’t want to die! 

However, Xiao Ming was also perplexed—why had Qin Xian killed without hesitation? There was no conflict between Jixia Academy and Qin Xian. Yet, Qin Xian struck without warning, slaughtering without reason or cause. It was as if he were a deranged killer!

This thought frustrated Xiao Ming the most. It felt like winning the lottery only to be struck by a car on the way to claim the prize!

Who could he possibly complain to!?

Xiao Ming stood frozen, unable to move under the terrifying aura of Qiu Bo, who was at level 58. Xiao Ming’s true combat power was only at level 6. 

He could do nothing but pray for a powerful figure to appear, to see injustice and draw their sword to save him from Qin Xian.

Isn’t that how the plot usually goes in protagonist stories!? But what filled Xiao Ming with despair was that the entire Hengjiang area was engaged in battle, and the mist blocked everyone. No one was coming to save him!

As Qin Xian noticed Xiao Ming’s despair, a strange glint flashed in his eyes. He activated his second profession—Void Overlord.

[Void Devour: Mark an area. All targets within this area are marked, and when they die, you have a chance to randomly obtain their skills and talents.].

Qin Xian used Void Devour to mark Xiao Ming. After all, Xiao Ming, as a Child of Destiny, might have a hidden “golden finger.”

Seeing Qin Xian in his Void Overlord form, Xiao Ming’s eyes widened. At that moment, he finally understood why he had instinctively loathed Qin Xian.

Qin Xian wasn’t just connected to the Void… His second profession was directly related to the Void!

Just as Xiao Ming was about to say something, Qin Xian raised a finger, and the Void Flame materialized out of thin air, consuming Xiao Ming in an instant!

Xiao Ming let out a cry of agony, filled with despair and unwillingness. He felt utterly unwilling to accept his fate! He had awakened such a powerful profession and talent, his golden finger gifted by the heavens, yet before he could even begin, it was over!

All he needed was to clear the Shattered Heaven dungeon, and once he emerged, everything would have changed. He could have soared to new heights, becoming the strongest human and even creating history!

He only needed one chance! But Qin Xian didn’t give him even that.

In no time, Xiao Ming was completely consumed by the Void Flame, leaving not even a trace of him behind.
