1: Chapter 001 The Strongest Pay-to-Win System!
"Thwack!"
"Chen An, inside this bag is one thousand yuan crystal, a reward from Young Master Bai. Stay away from Young Miss Shen in the future, understand?!"
A purse about the size of a palm, looking stuffed, landed on the ground in front of Chen An, followed immediately by a mocking, arrogant voice.
A youth in black brocade robes stood to the side, tall and handsome, but his brows were knit with an indelible arrogance and contempt.
Behind him followed three or four students from the County Academy, their auras frivolous and their faces mocking. They all stood with arms crossed, blocking the path forward with hostile glares.
The youth in brocade robes lifted his chin, looking down as if peering at an ant.
Seeing this youth who had suddenly appeared in front of him, acting so overbearing and bullying, a wave of intense disgust welled up in Chen An's heart.
Who the hell are you?!
Wait, no, where the hell am I?!
Just as Chen An was about to retort to the youth who had suddenly appeared to show off in front of him, he realized the situation was a bit strange.
No, wasn't he working overtime at the company? How did he suddenly end up here?!
Boom!!
Just as Chen An was filled with suspicion, a sudden rush of memory flooded into his mind, rapidly fusing with his own. In a moment of daze, Chen An had integrated all the memories.
So, he had undergone Transmigration!
The place where he was now was no longer Earth, but a vast world called the Cangyuan Continent. In this world, the Great Luo Dynasty valued martial arts above all else. The strong could split mountains and crack rocks, walking through the air, while the weak could only live a mediocre life, bullied by others.
The Great Luo Dynasty was the undisputed Dominator of the Human Race on the Cangyuan Continent, dominating most of the territory. Its territory spanned hundreds of millions of miles, with a population in the tens of billions. Sects, prefectures, and martial arts academies were spread across every state and county, and the trend of martial arts cultivation prevailed in the world.
According to the historical records of the Imperial Dynasty, in ancient times, the Cangyuan Continent was not unified. The Human Race had many countries, with over a hundred large and small nations, but they were in constant conflict and war.
Until endless ages ago, the Ancient Demon Race crossed over from the Void Realm outside the sky, tearing through the barriers of the world and invading the Cangyuan Continent on a large scale.
Demon flames set the plains ablaze, blood covered the mountains and rivers!
The cruel and bloodthirsty Ancient Demon Race slaughtered all living beings. Wherever they passed, not a blade of grass grew; cities collapsed, and lives were ruined.
Tens of billions of the Human Race were slaughtered, their flesh and blood sacrificed, their Divine Soul devoured. Human civilization was on the verge of extinction, and countless ancient Legacies were cut off.
In the moment of life and death, the strongest experts of the Human Race rose up together. Old Ancestors of Sects, Ancient Ancestors of the Imperial Dynasty, and hidden experts joined forces to resist the demons, building a line of defense with endless blood and bones, forcibly blocking the catastrophe of the Demon Race.
The war lasted for thousands of years. Mountains and rivers were shattered, the sun and moon were dimmed, bones piled up like mountains, and rivers were stained with blood.
In the end, the Human Race paid an extremely painful price to barely stabilize the situation, using the Tianyan Mountain Range that spanned the east and west of the Cangyuan Continent as an eternal chasm, drawing a line to divide the territory.
South of the mountain range was the fertile land where the Human Race lived and multiplied, governed by the Great Luo Dynasty.
North of the mountain range was the boundless Demon territory, filled with miasma, demon fog obscuring the sky, where the Ancient Demon Race entrenched themselves, eyeing the Human Race covetously. The two worlds stood in confrontation from afar, and mutual slaughter had never ceased.
After this catastrophe, countless martial arts experts, Sect Old Ancestors, and the remaining giants of the Human Race formed an alliance, working together to pacify the chaotic world, integrate the territory, and finally create the unified Great Luo Dynasty.
To eliminate future troubles, resist the demon disaster in the north, and prevent the crisis of extinction, the Great Luo Dynasty began to fully promote the policy of national martial arts practice.
State academies were opened in every state, Martial Academies were built in every prefecture, and County Academies were established in every county. Ancient Holy Lands were even opened in places where Spiritual Veins gathered, inheriting top-tier martial arts and Bloodline secret techniques.
From royal families to humble families, any descendant of the Human Race could step into the martial gate, practice body forging, temper blood and Qi, and polish their martial path.
In this life, he was also named Chen An, born in a remote village outside Wurong County, Chengtian Prefecture, Qingzhou, Great Luo Dynasty. His mother died early, and his father was originally a medicine collector, but he suddenly disappeared after going into the mountains three years ago. Now, he was the only one left at home.
This world valued martial arts, dividing the Realm into the Body Tempering Realm, Qi Condensation Realm, Acquired Realm, Innate Realm, Grandmaster Realm, Great Grandmaster Realm, and so on.
In addition, Aptitude was divided into Low Grade Martial Bone, Medium Grade Martial Bone, High-grade Martial Bone, Earth-grade Martial Bone, and Heaven-grade Martial Bone.
The grade of the Martial Bone directly determined the speed of cultivation, the compatibility with Cultivation Techniques, and the upper limit of the martial path. It was determined at birth and was extremely difficult to change.
And Chen An's Martial Bone was not ideal, just an ordinary Medium Grade Martial Bone.
A Medium Grade Martial Bone, not to mention looking at the entire Cangyuan Continent or the Great Luo Dynasty, was considered mediocre even in this Wurong County.
According to the common sense of this world: those with Low Grade Martial Bone were mostly mortals, trapped in the Body Tempering Realm for their whole lives, finding it difficult to enter the proper door of cultivation.
Medium Grade Martial Bone, although better than Low Grade Martial Bone, generally stopped at the Qi Condensation Realm.
Precisely because of this, even though the original body had practiced hard since childhood, spending at least ten hours a day on martial arts for more than ten years, he had only barely broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm.
The Qi Condensation Realm was divided into twelve levels, requiring the opening of twelve main meridians to reach Perfection. The original body had worked hard for more than ten years and had been cultivating in the County Academy for five years, but had only just opened one main meridian, becoming a Martial Artist at the second level of the Qi Condensation Realm.
Such Martial Artists were everywhere in the County Academy.
For example, the Young Master Bai in front of him was a powerful Martial Artist who had opened all twelve main meridians, reaching the Perfection of the Qi Condensation Realm, only one step away from breaking through to the Acquired Realm.
As for the Young Miss Shen they mentioned, her original name was Shen Qinglan. At only eighteen years old, she was already a Martial Artist in the Acquired Realm, surpassing the Qi Condensation Realm. Her cultivation was not lower than some Instructors in the County Academy. Not to mention Wurong County, she was a famous genius in Chengtian Prefecture.
The reason Young Master Bai asked him to leave Shen Qinglan was that he and Shen Qinglan could be considered childhood sweethearts.
Shen Qinglan's father, Shen Zongyue, had been seriously injured when he went into the mountains to kill a Yao Beast when he was young. It just so happened that Chen An's father, Chen Yan, went into the mountains to collect medicine and saved his life, so the two forged a deep friendship.
It was precisely because of this debt of the older generation that Chen An and Shen Qinglan had known each other since childhood, and even often practiced together.
Especially after Chen Yan went into the mountains to collect medicine and disappeared, Shen Zongyue not only risked his life to enter the mountains for a month to find Chen Yan's whereabouts, but after failing to find him, he also wanted to take him into the Shen Family to raise him.
However, Chen An was already old enough at that time, and his Heart-Nature was mature, so he did not want to live under someone else's roof and politely declined Shen Zongyue's kindness.
Even so, Shen Zongyue did not abandon him, but often sent Medicinal Pills, herbs, and even Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to break through the Body Tempering Realm and reach the Qi Condensation Realm with his Medium Grade Martial Bone Aptitude.
[Ding! Detecting intense fluctuations in the host's mind, the Strongest P2W System is activating...]
A cold voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
Having just fused with the memories and just regained his senses, Chen An's expression stiffened slightly again.
What?! A System?! My Golden Finger has arrived?!
[Ding! Activation successful! Starting binding!]
[Binding successful!]
[The Strongest P2W System, dedicated to serving the host!]
[With just one yuan crystal, you can exchange for one year of the host's non-sleeping, non-resting cultivation results.]
[One yuan crystal, host, you can't buy a loss, you can't buy a scam!]
[Please hurry up and top up, experience the joy of P2W!]
"What, you think it's too little?!"
Looking at Chen An, who was looking down at the money bag containing the yuan crystal on the ground without saying a word, a disdainful sneer flashed across Young Master Bai's face.
He had investigated Chen An and knew the most about poor kids like him.
No father, no mother, poor Family, mediocre Martial Bone. If it weren't for the resources given to him by Shen Qinglan, with his Aptitude, it would be impossible to break through the Qi Condensation Realm; he would have been kicked out of the County Academy long ago.
In Young Master Bai's view, such poor students struggling at the bottom all coveted money in their bones, were narrow-minded, had insatiable desires, and had huge appetites.
However, Young Master Bai didn't care at all.
A mere few yuan crystals were just a drop in the bucket for him and not worth mentioning.
If he could use these small, miscellaneous items to completely cut off the connection between Chen An and Shen Qinglan and sever all their interactions, then this deal would be extremely cost-effective.
And after listening to the System's functions, Chen An glanced at the money bag with one thousand yuan crystal on the ground, and a sharp glint could not help but flash in his eyes...
