Chapter 1: First Entry into the Mortal World

A carriage drove out from Green Ox Town, and passersby looked at it with envious eyes. The carriage, adorned with the emblem of the Seven Profound Sect, carried a group of prospective disciples to Caihua Mountain.

A ragged little beggar with clear eyes watched the carriage as it drove into the distance, his gaze resolute.

"Here I come, the world of mortals cultivating immortality, Han Li!"

Li Su, gripping a smooth dog-beating stick, took heavy steps forward, preparing to hitch a ride on the luck of the world's chosen son, Han Lao Mo.

He silently chanted in his heart, "Ancestor Dao Han, Senior Brother Han, if you reincarnate, take me with you!"

On the way, Li Su braved thorns and obstacles, finally arriving at Caihua Mountain.

"How many batches of disciples are there?"

A mountain guard casually asked.

"The thirteenth batch this year!"

"Why so many?"

"Ah, it's because of Jia Tianlong from the Wild Wolf Gang; many of our junior disciples have died."

"Damn Wild Wolf Gang."

Li Su cautiously emerged from the bushes, imitating the etiquette of this world as he bowed.

"Your Excellencies, I wish to join the Seven Profound Sect."

"Huh, there's a kid here?"

"Little beggar, where are you from?"

A young man in a green robe, holding a sword, asked with a hint of arrogance.

"My home is in Jingzhou's Yuncheng. My family was robbed, and I survived by jumping into the river. I heard about your esteemed sect in Green Ox Town, so I want to join your esteemed sect..."

"Huh, this little guy, his speech is quite remarkable!"

"Indeed, boy, what's your name? How many years of schooling have you had?"

"My name is Li Su, and I've had three years of schooling."

Li Su thought to himself that his background was fine, except for the part about jumping into the river to survive.

Before he jumped into the river, Li Su had already been stabbed.

But somehow, after he crossed over, this body came back to life on the riverbank.

Then, Li Su, with his disheveled appearance, begged all the way to Green Ox Town, where he confirmed that this world was the world of mortals!

"Hey, kid, our Seven Profound Sect never accepts people with unknown backgrounds. Without a guarantor, you can't enter..."

"Ah?"

Li Su was a bit anxious.

Can't enter?

Then he wouldn't be able to cling to the leg of the revered Han Tianzun?

In the original story, Han Li was recommended by his uncle to take the entrance test, and another pseudo-dragon Yan Wu had a father who ran a martial arts school in the city...

"Really... can't?"

The young men huddled together and discussed in low voices.

"Senior Brother, I think this kid is smart and wise, and he bears a deep grudge. He looks like a future great hero!"

"Junior Brother, have you been reading too many novels?"

"But, Senior Brother, I think what Wang Junior Brother said makes sense. This kid has read books and has a grudge against the Wild Wolf Gang..."

"Hmm? A grudge against the Wild Wolf Gang?"

"Yes, who in the martial world of Jingzhou doesn't know that the biggest backers of bandits and pirates are our enemies, the Wild Wolf Gang?"

"This... why don't we consult Senior Uncle Wang?"

"Let's try."

After they agreed, they asked Li Su to wait.

Soon, a middle-aged man, moving with a graceful and ethereal gait, descended the mountain path.

"Is this lightness of body?"

Hearing Li Su's naive mutter, a Seven Profound Sect disciple said proudly,

"This is the deputy hall master of our Battle Hall, known as the Eight-Armed Asura, Wang Wanjian..."

As he spoke, Wang Wanjian arrived.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his brocade robe fluttering in the wind.

He had the air of a master, stroking his beard as he asked, "Where is the person?"

"Reporting to Senior Uncle Wang, it's this person..."

Li Su thought this Senior Uncle Wang would ask questions, but instead, he grabbed Li Su by the collar and used the same lightness of body to return to Caihua Mountain.

Li Su, with his collar in hand, swallowed a mouthful of wind, but the blood in his heart grew hotter.

Finally, he was one step closer to the revered Han Tianzun!

"Hall Master."

Wang Wanjian put Li Su down.

It turned out they had come to a small courtyard, where a man in yellow stood, his eyes sharp like an eagle's, his nose high and his lips thin, scrutinizing Li Su.

"Li Su?"

"Yes!"

Li Su was nervous.

This man had never asked his name, yet he called it out...

Why?

"On the eighth day of the eighth month, the Stone Bandit Village raided a merchant surnamed Li, leaving only one survivor out of a family of eight..."

"Your Excellency?"

Li Su's heart raced.

"Ha ha!" The man chuckled, "It seems you indeed have a deep grudge against the Wild Wolf Gang..."

"Wild Wolf Gang?"

Li Su feigned confusion.

"Indeed, the Stone Bandit Village is a subordinate sect of the Wild Wolf Gang. Most of the loot they plunder each year is handed over to the Wild Wolf Gang, so your parents and family were killed by the Wild Wolf Gang..."

Listening to the Yellow Hall Master's account, Li Su remained calm inside.

Why is he telling me this?

On the surface, he feigned anger.

"Please, Your Excellency, accept me into the sect..."

"Do you want revenge?"

The Yellow Hall Master asked with a smile.

"Yes!"

Li Su replied decisively.

If he hadn't read the novel, Li Su might have hesitated...

But since he had read it, he knew that the Seven Profound Sect and the Wild Wolf Gang were at odds. In ten years, the Wild Wolf Gang would even invite the Immortal Qin to help attack Caihua Mountain.

"Good, then I will take you as my disciple."

"Master, I bow to you!"

The Yellow Hall Master sat steadily, accepting Li Su's bow.

"Hmm, Su'er, since you are my disciple, I have an important task for you."

Li Su's lips twitched.

Every time a company manager spoke like this, the next thing they said was never good.

But in a world where killing was allowed, Li Su could only hide his bitterness and bow, asking, "As Master commands."

"I want you to join the Wild Wolf Gang..."

"What?"

Li Su stood there, stunned.

...

"Spy!"

"Even in ancient times, they play the game of spies?"

Li Su didn't expect that he would be kicked to the Wild Wolf Gang by Huang Zhicheng before he even settled in the Seven Profound Sect.

Li Su was secretly arranged to go down the mountain, and a stranger picked him up.

Three days later, he joined the Wild Wolf Gang.

Although the Wild Wolf Gang was the biggest backer of the bandits in the entire state, they also recruited some core disciples.

Like the Seven Profound Sect, the Wild Wolf Gang's recruitment also required a recommendation from a familiar person.

"It seems Huang Zhicheng has been planning this for a long time!"

Li Su sighed with a bitter smile.

"Too clever by half!"

"I wonder how powerful the forces behind the Wild Wolf Gang are, given that they can oppose the Seven Profound Sect. The original story only briefly mentioned the two sects, but Li Su dared not risk his life by playing spy!"

The next day.

Li Su wore a coarse linen robe.

This was the standard uniform for new disciples of the Wild Wolf Gang.

On a square paved with green stones, a burly man scanned the lined-up disciples and shouted, "From today, you are part of the Wild Wolf Gang. You are our people in life, and our ghosts in death..."

"Those who betray their brothers will be pierced by a thousand arrows!"

"Those who betray the sect will die without a whole body!"

"Those who collude with outsiders will not die well!"

As the oaths of joining the gang were recited, the atmosphere grew intense.

The disciples, their faces flushed, looked at their companions with a newfound sense of belonging.

But Li Su was a bit anxious.

Because just then, his cheat activated!

'Ding, you have chosen the opposing camp to Han Li - the Wild Wolf Gang, activating the system's antagonist main character module...'

'Detected that Han Li has obtained the opportunity - "Doctor Mo's Medical Book"'

'As an antagonist to the protagonist Han Li, you receive the antagonist reward - "Seven-Colored Poison Classic"'

A flood of knowledge surged into Li Su's mind.
