22: Youzhou Ranger, the Martial Saint of the World, wants to be the first

At 1 year old: You grew up drinking goat's milk and eating from a hundred different families. Although the Daoist temple was poor, you still grew up strong and healthy.

At 2 years old: While chasing a nanny goat to suckle its milk, you were headbutted by the enraged goat, causing you to faint. The Daoist priest was greatly alarmed, but three days later, you recovered as good as new. The Daoist priest called you exceptionally gifted!

At 3 years old: You watched the Daoist priest practice his health-preserving fist techniques and, finding it fun, imitated him. The Daoist priest smiled, then discovered that you understood things with just a hint and could even extrapolate. He decided to cultivate you well!

At this point, the 'Exceptional Bones' reincarnation trick had already taken effect.

But Qin Chuan was still very displeased.

Where was the Book Fragrance Family?

My magnificent Book Fragrance Family, by all accounts, my family background should have been better than 'Chen Chuan's' last time.

But... look how hungry this child is, he's even gone to suckle a nanny goat!

However, the reincarnation opportunity had already been used, and Qin Chuan couldn't put him back. He could only hold his nose and accept it.

As the brief life journey continued, this child's performance became even more outrageous.

At 15 years old: You are already strong enough to lift a tripod, move like the wind, and are proficient in all kinds of weapons. Your name has begun to spread throughout the surrounding ten li and eight villages...

At 16 years old: Your martial arts skills are becoming increasingly refined. You often hear the names of the Five Sages and Seven Worthies, and gradually a desire to roam the world rises within you.

At 17 years old: The Daoist priest said you were still too weak. Although you could dominate in a small area, you were not worth mentioning in the entire world. This year, he told you a lot, as if... he was giving his last instructions!

At 18 years old: The Daoist priest let out a long howl towards the sky, angrily rebuking the heavens. Just then, thunder descended, and the Daoist priest ascended into ashes. You fell into contemplation (solving the mystery of the womb...).

At 21 years old: You observed mourning for the Daoist priest. The three-year period had ended. The peach trees the Daoist priest loved most in his life filled the mountains and fields. You suddenly felt something, looked up, and sighed softly: "Thousands of red peach trees planted by hand have bloomed, filling the mountains with no master, letting the spring breeze blow freely."...

Congratulations, the mystery of the womb has been solved!

Your name is Wang Xuan, a wandering swordsman from Youzhou. Please continue your game!

Vaguely, twenty-one years of memories flooded into his mind. Qin Chuan stood in place, closing his eyes to digest them.

"Another life, huh?"

Qin Chuan looked at the peach trees covering the mountains and plains. Just as he was about to sigh again, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

"Who's there?!"

His figure flickered, covering hundreds of steps in a swift movement.

Carrying a strong wind, Qin Chuan stood steadily in front of a young girl.

Qin Chuan: Stare (￣ ^ ￣)!

The girl glanced at the suddenly appearing Qin Chuan, then at the peach in her hand, her face bewildered.

She hesitated for a moment and offered the peach back.

"Do you want some too?"

Qin Chuan: "...Do you know that the peaches on this mountain have an owner?"

"Ah!" The girl was stunned for a moment (。﹏。*), then her face turned a little red as she said:

"I... I didn't know. I'm sorry, I'll pay you for it!"

With that, she rummaged through her purse.

Awkwardly, she couldn't find a single copper coin after a long time.

"Um... can I owe you for now? I'll definitely pay you back in the future!"

Qin Chuan continued to stare (￣ ^ ￣)!

The girl gritted her teeth and pulled off a jade pendant from her waist, which had a 'Su' character engraved on it.

"If it really doesn't work, you can take this as collateral..."

At this moment, Qin Chuan made a move.

He glanced at the jade pendant and made a judgment: A runaway rich young lady?

"No need. Ten mountains of peaches aren't worth the price of your jade pendant. Just eat the peaches. It just so happens that I'm leaving too; even if you hadn't come, I would have needed to call the farmers down the mountain to pick them."

"Huh, huh, huh?"

Before the girl could react, Qin Chuan's figure had already vanished from her sight.

"That's a master, a master!"

After parting ways with the girl, Qin Chuan returned to the Daoist temple.

Although he had been raised by a Daoist priest since childhood, he was not a Daoist priest himself.

The most important reason was that the Daoist priest told him, 'Daoist priests have no future. Xuan'er cannot walk this dead end road.'

Young Wang Xuan had no concept of this statement, but now, as Qin Chuan recalled the Daoist priest turning into ashes under the heavenly thunder, he had more to ponder.

A dead end road?

Sighing, he decided to understand this later.

As for now—

He silently chanted: Open character panel!

Name: Wang Xuan (Qin Chuan's reincarnation).

Origin: Da Zhou World, Youzhou wandering swordsman.

Strength: 8.

Constitution: 9.

Agility: 7.

Spirit: 10. (This attribute is equivalent to your main body)

Martial Arts: Level 1.

Reputation: Unknown.

Natural Lifespan: 21 / 99.

Special Items: None.

Detected three strong desires from the character, generating three life goals.

First, [Avenge Mother: The filial crow lost its mother, uttering mournful cries—your mother died mysteriously, and you swear to avenge her!] (Completing this goal will unlock idle gameplay and allow return to the Main World)

Second, [Mystery of Origins: Although humans are like a floating existence between heaven and earth, they are not without roots. You want to understand where you come from and who your father is?] (Completing this goal will fully unlock the reincarnation trick 'Book Fragrance Family (Level 4)')

Third, [Human Martial Saint (Long-term Unique): A true man born into this world should brave the winds and waves, striving for glory throughout history! You are determined to suppress all enemies in the world! (Note: Within the Da Zhou World)] (This is the ultimate goal, which can be completed in stages. Completing any stage will yield a large amount of rewards)

"Interesting!"

This 'Wang Xuan's' panel could be said to be vastly different from 'Chen Chuan's'.

Aside from the Spirit column, his Strength, Constitution, and Agility were far superior to that frail scholar's!

In terms of power system, it was indeed as Qin Chuan had guessed: he was taking a different path—Martial Arts!

As for the other minor details about being able to live to 99 years, there was no need to pay attention.

Qin Chuan's focus was on the super-doubled number of life goals.

He now understood that the principle behind the appearance of life goals was related to the character's ideals and aspirations before solving the mystery of the womb.

But 'Wang Xuan' directly activating three goals was somewhat unexpected for him.

However, upon closer thought, it was understandable.

Chen Chuan had been pampered since childhood, so he naturally wouldn't encounter any bothersome things. His life goals and ideals were influenced by the academic atmosphere, so it was no surprise that he set 'Sage Teacher' as one.

Wang Xuan, this child, was different. Although he didn't reach the level of being a lone star, first his mother, then his guardian, passed away, leaving him alone in the world. He naturally thought more.

Except for 'Human Martial Saint,' the other two were probably urgent questions in his heart.

Acceptable!

As he thought of this, Qin Chuan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have undergone another reincarnation.

—Zhang San, his life goal...

"Ptooey! What an unpromising fellow, becoming the King of Bandits is one thing, but wanting to be the King of Bandits' man? Disgusting!"

Finally, Qin Chuan collected his scattered thoughts.

He found the bronze mirror in the room and examined his appearance in this life.

His eyebrows were like finely cut blades, his eyes like dots of black lacquer. His Daoist robe, somewhat faded from washing, did not detract from his appearance; instead, it gave him a detached and unrestrained aura.

Qin Chuan pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a wild smile, and self-mockingly said in a theatrical tone:

"A tattered Daoist robe, a tempered iron sword, a wandering swordsman from Youzhou... I'm going to be the strongest in the world!"
