Danran Sect, Outer Sect!
Among the many dwellings, within a particularly magnificent residence built of jade bricks and golden stone, an incredulous voice rang out.
“I actually transmigrated?”
Fang Chen stared at his own face reflected in the mirror, then looked at the unfamiliar furnishings around him, feeling utter disbelief.
His memories were still stuck on the moment after he got off work, when a drunk driver sent him flying off a bridge, killing him on the spot.
Who would have thought that upon opening his eyes again, he would find himself in a completely new and unfamiliar world.
Moreover, the memories surfacing in his mind reminded him that his current identity was far from ordinary.
The Fang Chen of this world shared his exact name and appearance.
But his status was completely different!
This Fang Chen was an arrogant and domineering cultivator who spent his days stirring up trouble, burdened with garbage talent and meager cultivation.
Relying on his tyrannical family background, he consumed Pills like candy all day, taking ordinary heavenly materials and earthly treasures whenever he pleased.
But even so, because his aptitude was so abysmal, the original owner had cultivated for over ten years yet remained stuck at Qi Condensation Third Grade, unable to enter the inner sect.
In truth, if not for his illustrious family, he likely wouldn’t even be able to stay in the Outer Sect and would have been expelled long ago!
Furthermore, due to his agonizingly slow cultivation speed, he had not only fallen behind his peers who had already entered the inner sect…
He was even worse off than the newly admitted Outer Sect disciples!
Upon digesting this information, Fang Chen was utterly dumbfounded.
This guy really wasn’t cut out for the Dao!
He learned from the memories that if the treasures the original owner had consumed were fed to a pig, it would have been more than enough for it to reach Foundation Establishment!
Recently, the original owner could no longer tolerate his painfully slow cultivation speed and decided to resort to unorthodox methods.
He had tracked down a demonic cultivation technique. As long as he used the spinal marrow of a Demon Beast, supplemented by the life essence blood of his Senior Brothers, Junior Brothers, or close relatives, he could refine a Pill that would strengthen his natural roots upon consumption.
However, because his cultivation was so dreadful, he was severely injured by a Qi Condensation Third Grade Demon Beast while trying to collect the very first material. After hanging on for a few days, his soul finally scattered!
Fang Chen: “…”
Talk about being weak, ambitious, and entirely skill-less.
But after finishing reading the memories and tossing out a few complaints, Fang Chen suddenly plunged into a state of panic…
Because his body felt completely empty-there wasn’t a single trace of cultivation left!
Oh no!
When the original owner was swatted by that Demon Beast, his entire cultivation base had been shattered.
Right now, his Dantian was shattered, and his Meridians were torn. He was no different from a cripple!
Yet, an even more unfortunate piece of news awaited Fang Chen.
He had scheduled a life-and-death duel with another person in the Outer Sect!
After reviewing this memory, Fang Chen nearly fainted on the spot.
That person’s name was Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing’s aptitude was dead last in the Outer Sect, even worse than Fang Chen’s garbage predecessor.
An out-and-out piece of trash!
And though Xiao Qing’s family had once been glorious, they had recently been wiped out by Demon Beasts!
Originally treated like the moon surrounded by stars just like Fang Chen, Xiao Qing was now subjected to everyone’s cold shoulders.
Precisely because Xiao Qing was both useless and miserable, Fang Chen had delighted in bullying him to glean a pitiful sense of superiority.
And just three days ago.
Xiao Qing’s childhood sweetheart, deciding that Xiao Qing was no longer worthy of her, publicly broke off their engagement, leaving Xiao Qing to endure endless mockery…
And Fang Chen had actually stepped up at that moment to insult and ridicule him!
Feeling completely bereft of hope, Xiao Qing could no longer tolerate Fang Chen kicking him while he was down. With eyes splitting from rage and his fury overflowing, he publicly challenged him to a life-and-death duel.
At the time, Fang Chen had simply sneered and accepted.
In reality, Xiao Qing had fallen right into Fang Chen’s trap.
He had known perfectly well that the freshly humiliated Xiao Qing would be reckless and impulsive enough to agree to a battle to the death.
When the time came, he would just harvest Xiao Qing’s blood as the material for his demonic Pill!
But the current Fang Chen was already breaking into a cold sweat.
Motherfucker.
Who told you to offend Xiao Qing?
This Xiao Qing-starting out as a piece of trash, his clan wiped out, and his engagement broken-wasn’t this the textbook template of a protagonist?
Even more despairing for Fang Chen was that from the flashes of memory, he could see Xiao Qing wearing an ancient-looking ring!
That ring definitely housed the soul of some mighty cultivator!
And now…
Fang Chen couldn’t help but gulp, his entire body trembling.
Never mind the ancient grandpa lurking in the other party’s ring.
Even without one, the current Xiao Qing was at Qi Condensation Second Grade.
Pinching a cripple like him to death would be as easy as flipping a hand!
If he went to beg for peace now, Xiao Qing probably wouldn’t accept it, and would instead tell him to go eat shit.
“What do I do? What do I do?”
Fang Chen panicked.
He glanced up at the rafters. Should he just hang himself and get it over with?
Just at this moment.
Ding-
A crisp mechanical voice suddenly chimed in his mind. “System activating…”
Fang Chen blanked for a second, then immediately fell into wild ecstasy.
A System?
The System had arrived!
He knew it! His System would absolutely not just watch him march to his death.
With a System, he absolutely had a chance to turn the tables!
Even if the other guy was a Child of Providence protected by the Heavenly Dao, with a System’s protection, he was a genuine cheater. He didn’t have to fear being slaughtered by Xiao Qing.
Once they fought a grand battle and tied, they could slowly turn their weapons into jade and silk, become sworn brothers, and he could firmly hug onto those golden thighs. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
Right as Fang Chen was indulging in these beautiful fantasies…
The System’s voice rang out again: “System officially activated!”
“This System will perfectly send the Host to his death, better promoting the growth of the Child of Providence!”
As soon as the words fell.
Fang Chen’s joyous expression skidded to a halt.
Wh… what?
“System, what do you mean by sending me to my death? Are you saying I still have to die?”
Fang Chen was dumbfounded.
The System replied, “Correct! The Host was already a dead man in his previous life. The System’s appearance now is merely to allow the Host to squeeze out the last bit of residual heat from his life to better promote the growth of the Child of Providence.”
“Once this world’s Child of Providence matures, the Host can peacefully be killed!”
“When that time comes, the entire world will be grateful to the Host for his vital contributions to the Child of Providence’s journey toward the Dao!”
Fang Chen: “???”
He sprang to his feet, absolutely furious. “Are you out of your mind???”
He never could have imagined that the System he thought was a lifeline was actually here to give him a better send-off to the afterlife!
Fuck!
This is sick!
Just whose System are you anyway?
But the System paid no heed to Fang Chen’s protests, proceeding with its own arrangements. “Detecting the presence of the Child of Providence…”
“Detection complete!”
“Child of Providence: Xiao Qing.”
“Bereaved of his family since childhood, his natural roots appear exceedingly poor. In truth, however, his body is possessed by the soul of Venerable Xiaoyao, who has been absorbing his Spiritual Power, rendering him unable to unleash his true talent.”
“Now, Venerable Xiaoyao has awakened!”
“With Venerable Xiaoyao’s help, Xiao Qing has already broken through to Qi Condensation Fourth Grade. During the future life-and-death duel with the Host, he will break through to Qi Condensation Seventh Grade. At the same time, he will possess the ability to fight across realms, making him comparable to a Qi Condensation Eighth Grade cultivator. In a life-or-death moment, he can even briefly erupt with Qi Condensation Ninth Grade combat strength.”
Fang Chen: “???”
He was completely stupefied.
What the hell was this?
This protagonist wasn’t even human!
The duel to the death was half a month away. Just how was Xiao Qing supposed to skyrocket from Qi Condensation Second Grade to Qi Condensation Seventh Grade in half a month, let alone gain the ability to fight across realms and even burst out with Qi Condensation Ninth Grade strength?
This was blatantly cheating with a blatant hack!
Was there any heavenly justice?
This wasn’t fair!
Wasn’t anyone going to do something about this?
At this moment, Fang Chen’s face had gone completely ashen, his eyes hollow.
He wanted to cry.
He had never seen a transmigrator wronged so badly.
It was one thing for Xiao Qing to have a cheat.
But why was his own hard-earned cheat telling him to go feed himself to the enemy!
At this time.
The System continued, “And in order for the Villain Host to better propel Xiao Qing’s mastery of his cultivation and comprehension of his techniques, allowing him to fight a beautiful comeback battle that will shake the entire Outer Sect of the Danran Sect…”
“The System will bestow upon the Host Qi Condensation Ninth Grade cultivation. This will enable the Host to provide sufficiently powerful life-and-death pressure during the duel, pushing Xiao Qing’s Potential to its absolute limit before the Host is publicly slaughtered by Xiao Qing!”
“Cultivation impartation, beginning now!”
