An unknown nobody

New Era Calendar, Year 30009, February.

Xia Nation, Lei Cheng No. 1 Middle School.

On the sports field, a massive stone martial arts arena stood tall, surrounded by a dense crowd of students.

"I announce that the winner of this year's school-wide martial arts competition is... Qin Xianwei!"

As the principal's deep but authoritative voice rang out, everyone's gaze focused on the figure on the martial arts arena.

She was a tall, elegant, and exceptionally graceful girl, the school beauty of Lei Cheng No. 1 Middle School.

Her face was calm as she accepted the Classmates' cheers, as if this honor rightfully belonged to her.

Opposite her, a young man lay on the ground, covered in wounds and blood.

Everyone in the school knew Qin Xianwei, but few knew this young man named Jiang Xuan.

Because he was merely one of the many whom Qin Xianwei had randomly chosen and defeated.

Everyone else had been knocked off the martial arts arena by Qin Xianwei, but only Jiang Xuan hadn't been knocked flying, though he was the most severely injured.

Lying on the ground, Jiang Xuan silently regulated his breathing, then a tearing pain surged through his body.

A chill ran through him as he realized that the Meridians throughout his body might be severed.

He hadn't expected his opponent to be so ruthless in a martial arts competition. It seemed that a nobody like him wouldn't be cared for, whether he lived or died.

In this era where everyone Cultivated martial arts, as a third-year high school student, if his Meridians were destroyed, it would almost be equivalent to having his future ruined.

Unless he could afford 100 million to buy the Universe Federation's special treatment Medicinal Pill.

But Jiang Xuan was just a student from an ordinary family, so how could he afford it?

His parents' monthly salary was only a little over eight thousand yuan.

"Qin Xianwei..."

Jiang Xuan gritted his teeth, a hint of undetectable hatred flashing in his eyes.

Just a little, just a little bit more, and he would have been killed by Qin Xianwei.

The martial Dao world had always been this cruel. As a nobody, he was unfortunately chosen by lot in his class to be one of the challengers to Qin Xianwei.

Then, Qin Xianwei, the school's top student in both looks and martial prowess, casually beat him into severe injury, like crushing an ant.

"Cough, cough cough..."

Jiang Xuan coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, enduring the severe pain in all his Meridians, and with the physical fitness gained from practicing martial arts, he barely managed to stand up.

He was about to head to the school's infirmary alone to simply treat his wounds first.

But just then, a transparent panel, visible only to him, suddenly appeared before his eyes.

On it were messages like chat bubbles.

"Fellow Daoist, does anyone have that outer heaven geng metal? I can exchange it for a Profound Rank Cultivation Technique."

"Heaven Rank Divine Cultivation Technique, True Martial Hundred Meridians Art, only ten catties of outer heaven geng metal needed!"

"One bottle of azure dragon body tempering pill, for one catty of baleful yin water, anyone interested?"

Jiang Xuan was first stunned, then a burst of wild joy suddenly erupted in his chest!

System!

As a Transmigrator, his System had finally arrived!

The web novels he had read in his previous life allowed him to quickly deduce that these Cultivation Techniques and Medicinal Pills should all come from a mysterious and vast Immortal Cultivation world.

His System should be connected to this mysterious and vast Immortal Cultivation world, allowing him, who was in a high-martial world, to trade with people from the Immortal Cultivation world.

Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique, True Martial Hundred Meridians Art, sounded very powerful.

At the very least, it was stronger than the "Basic Cultivation Method" that everyone in their high school could Cultivate.

Perhaps, it could even repair his severed Meridians!

"It seems that if I just take out these things, I can successfully trade with them?"

"outer heaven geng metal? And what is this baleful yin water..."

"If I can get this Cultivation Technique, wouldn't I be equivalent to an Immortal Cultivator? By then, with the Realm I've Cultivated, qi and blood value would just be an extra..."

Jiang Xuan was pondering this when suddenly, two item illusions appeared on the transparent panel.

One was a purple-blue metal block, and the other was a bottle of dark liquid.

It seemed these should be the outer heaven geng metal and baleful yin water.

Jiang Xuan's pupils couldn't help but contract slightly when he saw them, feeling quite surprised.

Because he recognized at a glance that this outer heaven geng metal was none other than the most common Star Core Gold in their world!

Star Core Gold existed on every planet. When Universe battleships mined useful minerals and resources on planets, they often extracted a lot of Star Core Gold as well.

Because of its strong plasticity, durability, and harmlessness to the human body, Star Core Gold was often used to make furniture.

Jiang Xuan's home, tables, chairs, and even bed boards were all made of Star Core Gold... As for the baleful yin water, he truly didn't recognize it.

"Hurry home, no matter what else, first get my hands on that Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique, True Martial Hundred Meridians Art!"

Having made up his mind, Jiang Xuan immediately wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stepped off the arena.

No one paid attention to him; everyone's gaze was still focused on Qin Xianwei, this favored daughter of heaven.

Even Qin Xianwei didn't spare a glance for the young man she had casually defeated.

Even Jiang Xuan's Classmates, those from class 3-5, were busy treating the Classmates with better grades who had been knocked off the arena.

Few cared about a nobody like Jiang Xuan, whose martial arts performance was mediocre.

Jiang Xuan appeared silent on the surface, but his heart was full of anticipation as he walked past a crowd of wailing people, left the school, and returned home, three streets away from the school.

His parents were still at work and hadn't returned. Jiang Xuan first took a quick shower in the bathroom, enduring the pain of the hot water washing over his wounds, changed into a clean set of clothes, and returned to his bedroom.

With a thought, the transparent panel opened again. The previous three messages were still there, and a few more had appeared.

"One tael! Just one tael of outer heaven geng metal, and this Flame Bear Inner Armor is yours!"

"All you great powers, old monsters, Old Ancestors, please save this Junior. This Junior needs Dao Martial Fruit! I can exchange it for a ninth-grade divine weapon!"

"Urgently need one Spirit Phoenix Egg..."

"It seems this outer heaven geng metal is still a sought-after commodity in that world..."

Jiang Xuan murmured, his gaze falling on a small purple-blue metal stool by his bed.

That's right, this small stool was made of outer heaven geng metal, which was Star Core Gold.

He reached out, picked it up, and weighed it.

"Hmm, about eleven catties. Just enough to trade for that Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique, True Martial Hundred Meridians Art, first. The extra catty will be a gift."

At this thought, Jiang Xuan became worried. How should he trade?

After thinking for a moment, he tried clicking on the chat bubble requesting ten catties of outer heaven geng metal.

Whoosh!

The next moment, a small black hole appeared before him, slowly rotating.

Jiang Xuan didn't hesitate and directly threw the small stool into the small black hole.

Almost immediately, an aged voice, sounding quite excited, came from the black hole.

"What a waste! Fellow Daoist, why are you so wasteful, actually making a stool out of a divine item like outer heaven geng metal?"

"Hmm... there are a total of eleven catties, two taels, and five qian. Fellow Daoist, this Old Ancestor is not greedy for wealth. How about this Old Ancestor exchanges the extra one catty, two taels, and five qian of outer heaven geng metal for three flame origin pills?"

Jiang Xuan tentatively replied:

"Then I thank Senior."

As his voice fell, the small black hole flashed, and two items dropped out of it.

Then, the small black hole slowly disappeared.

Jiang Xuan looked down and saw an ancient book emitting a faint golden light, and three Medicinal Pills contained in a translucent jade bottle.

True Martial Hundred Meridians Art, and... flame origin pills!

Immortal Cultivation Technique and Immortal Cultivation Medicinal Pills... obtained!
