My Cheat IS Unrivaled!

Seth, a webnovel otaku like you and me, who is broke asf, has a mother in coma, and a dead father, - and running a dying noodle shack while he's at it, is transmigrated to an eastern fantasy cultivation type world. Whoopie! Its a dream come true! He does not care how it happened, and neither does he care why. What he does care about though, is growing strong like the MCs he had read about and making sure he leads a far better life here than he did on earth. He instantly begins to find his own 'cheat' that would set him apart from the other cultivators in the sectdom, be it a thousand year old spirit herb, or a magical beast that obeys him. Why wouldn't he, when, his life manual is basically a lifetimes worth of movies, anime, and online novels? But hey, shit happens and it turns out that the 'cheat' he manages to obtain is a very unlikely one that is far more than meets the eye. Who the hell would have thought that his last name, Serpentis, wasn't just a hell of an awful name, but also the title of a very powerful clan who could rival even the gods? "Sethren Serpentis, the Prince of Serpents, and heir to the Throne of Venom... I think that has a nice ring to it." With an uncanny cohort made up of a soul broken young mistress with sort of a personality disorder, a lecherous jade beauty dual cultivator whose... questionable techniques are rather disturbing, a blind swordswoman.. for some strange reason, a wimpy excuse of a cultivator who can see the future - so she's not completely useless, and a red headed dude who might as well be the sturdiest guy alive, Seth uses the power of his cheat to... Er... do what again? Ah, I can't really remember. I guess you'd have to read the rest of the book to find out. ✌ ;-)

Out of all things out there, i get an ant?

Lee Chun Hua rubbed her eyes as she stared at the receeding back of the black haired boy.

"Was I seeing things, or did that dagger just appear out of thin air?"

Only a cultivatior at the ninth level of the Yin/Yang manipulation tier could disintegrate an object into Yin or Yang Qi and manifest it at will.

She could not even feel an infinitesimal amount of Qi emanating from the noodle boy, cutting that possibility completely out of the list, so the only reasonable possibility left was that she was seeing stuff.

'The heat must really be getting to me..'

Anyways, the noodle boy still intrigued her, more so as he was heading straight towards the parts of the beast lands where high level beasts roamed. She withdrew her Qi aura, then abruptly stopped midway and scratched the back of her head.

"What's the point of hiding my Qi aura anyways? Its not like he can sense my Qi anyways. He should probably still be at the mundane human tier or something."

Slowly but surely, Seth trailed the beast footprints, and Chun Hua trailed Seth.

***

Seth soon found himself facing the mouth of an eerily deep cave. A suffocatingly heavy amount of killing intent oozed out of the gaping hole, but he was unfazed.

"Its not even quarter as heavy as that of the dog like creature..."

It was said, that once bitten someone would become twice as shy, but after one had almost been stabbed by a sword and survived, would he then be scared of a pencil? Especially if he had a high level dagger in his palms.

"And besides, mundane level beasts are supposed to be the weakest bunch in the hierarchy. How hard could it be?''

Seth brazenly marched into the cave, not even the slightest trace of fear in his eyes. He had a high level dagger that poisoned the enemy, what was there to be scared of? With a high level beast weapon, killing mundane level beasts would be as easy as killing ants. Or so he thought, as a massive ant managed to notice the small human figure and began screeching at him. The size difference between the ant and him was at least two feet wide, not to mention that it had sharp mandibles and a fearsome stinger.

Seth gulped saliva down his fry throat and froze on the spot. All of the killing intent was directed at him and him alone. Back with the dog like creature from earlier, its killing intent and bloodlust had been directed to Chun Hua and her group, yet it managed to affect him to a degree, however, this time there was no group of cultivators around him to handle the beast's attention, and it was up to him alone.

Taking a rather deep breath, Seth calmed down his fluttering heart and stated back at the creature, the black Poisonous Peril clutched tightly in his palms. Was he a melee fighter? He had no idea. But he did have an understanding on how daggers were to be used, so he used all the strength he could muster and dashed towards the beast. He ran with lightening speed, easily crossing the distance between them in a second... Only to realize that he had not even covered half the distance between him and the beast. This would probably be because of his agility stat being at a meagre one.

Mundane level beasts were usually wary of humans, but today, it was inwardly thanking the heavens that it had gotten a free meal today! The humans were usually lightening fast and extremely strong, but this fool was barely as quick as an Iron Shelled Fanged Snail. A snail like beast that was extremely slow by beast standards, but was extremely sturdy.

The ant looked up at the roof of the cave once again as if to thank the heavens and bless its meal, before it dived towards Seth with hunger and bloodlust in its eyes.

"Shit..." Seth could only curse, as the giant ant pounced on him and continuously tried to bite his head off. Trying to push the creature off him was absolutely useless, as his strength was at rock bottom.

"I'm... not... going... TO DIE HERE!!"

He put his arm in between the beasts mandibles and his face, while he held the other Poisonous Peril tightly in his other hand with a reverse grip. The ant creature chewed on his now mabglrd hand, yes. However his grip on the dagger in that hand did not falter one bit. With each bite the beast took, the dagger slightly pierced into the jaw of the creature and poisoned it bit by bit. Now, he just had to wait till the poison began to take effect in the creatures bloodstream and hope that his arm held. Because once it's jaws clenched down on his face, it would be game over for him.

His heart raced faster as he lost all feeling in his arm desperately holding the beasts jaws away from his face. Almost all the flesh on his hand had been eaten up, and the bones were in then verge of crumbling from the pressure, when the creature stumbled a bit.

'Now's my chance!...'

In Seth's mind, he had swung the other dagger and cleanly sliced off the head of the ant like creature, but his body refused to move. Time seemed to slow down and his thoughts flashed past in seconds.

Why did he feel pike something bad would happen should he stroke at that moment? A nanosecond later, and his eyes widened in shock.

'Do ants even have a bloodstream?!'

The bone in his arm cracked and the beast was moments away from digging into his skull. He had to make a decision, and quickly while he was at it. His fist clenched tighter over the hilt of the dagger as he steeled his resolve. He was transmigrated, thus definitely he had a purpose other than dying in the maw of an ant. An ant of all creatures!

What kind if webnovel would have an MC die from an attack by the lowest level beast there was?

Not the kind that he would want to read, for sure. He clenched his feet, shut his eyes tightly, and lashed out the dagger towards the middle of the creatures eyes. A loud squelch swiftly followed and his hand was wet.

'Did it... just swallow my hand?!'
