Chapter 1

In the world of the Nine Provinces, the strong stand tall. Within the twenty-four regions of the Nine Provinces, the human race cultivates qi, battling life and death.

The strong can block the sky with a snap of their fingers, shattering the void. Ordinary people temper their bodies, possessing the strength to move mountains, with thousands of kilograms of power.

Beyond the Nine Provinces, there are a thousand realms that encompass all things, vast and mysterious.

One of the Nine Provinces, the Spirit Province's Desolate Region; the Divine Martial Sect.

In the training ground, thousands of martial artists are engaged in practical training, their fists and feet colliding, qi surging, stirring up fierce winds, and tearing apart the air!

Outside one of the training grounds, a large number of disciples have gathered to watch.

Lin Chen, who had been knocked to the ground, was numb all over, his eyes rolling back, and his body convulsing; he spat out a cloud of white smoke.

"Trying to touch Brother Liao Jianhua's woman, you don't know whether you're alive or dead. Miss Qing'er is not someone like you, a piece of trash, can even think about!"

The tiger-backed, muscular man standing on the platform flicked his fingernails and sneered disdainfully.

*Beep, the host has successfully crossed over, beginning to load the Heavenly Dao Pickup System 2%... 4%...*

When the cold electronic voice sounded, it awakened Lin Chen's consciousness.

"What the hell is going on?"

A tearing pain came from his chest, bloodstains everywhere, several ribs broken.

When Lin Chen opened his eyes, suddenly, a flood of memories surged into his mind, like a sudden enlightenment!

"The Nine Provinces, the human race cultivates qi, the Divine Martial Sect, outer sect disciple Lin Chen!"

"Body Tempering Realm, Qi Cultivation Realm, Spirit Communication Realm, Soul War Realm, Earthly Calamity Realm, this is a fantasy world, I actually crossed over?!"

In no time, Lin Chen had integrated the memories that had flooded his mind!

The body he had crossed into belonged to an outer sect disciple of the Divine Martial Sect, with the same name as himself, Lin Chen!

The original Lin Chen had grown up with the daughter of the steward who had adopted him, Su Qing'er, and they had entered the outer sect together.

But as Su Qing'er grew up, she became exceptionally beautiful, gradually distancing herself from Lin Chen, even treating him with disdain, and instead actively approached the inner sect elite disciple of the Divine Martial Sect, Liao Jianhua, willing to become his concubine to be his woman.

Liao Jianhua was a true disciple of the Divine Martial Sect, with a higher status than ordinary inner sect disciples, with an unlimited future. With his status and means, crushing Lin Chen was as easy as crushing an ant.

When the bloodthirsty Lin Chen went to seek justice, he was stopped by the outer sect disciples around Liao Jianhua, and they planned to use the sparring match as an opportunity to severely injure and kill Lin Chen!

"Brother, a舔dog ends up with nothing, you're still too young. Well, since we both are called Lin Chen, and I've crossed over into your body, I will avenge you!"

Lin Chen, with a pale and young face, drew a cold and fierce smile!

"Hey, this kid doesn't seem to be dead yet!"

The disciples watching from outside the platform, seeing that Lin Chen still had a reaction, muttered curiously.

Ignoring the gazes around him, Lin Chen suddenly noticed that the feet of the outer sect disciples were scattered with some translucent light balls.

These light balls were of various colors—blue, red, green—and varied in size, some as large as eggs, some as small as thumbs.

But more attribute light balls were scattered outside the sparring platform where the outer sect disciples were fighting. Each battle would drop a varying number of attribute light balls of different colors.

"What are these things?"

Lin Chen curiously grabbed three red light balls by his side; the light flickered and immediately merged into his body.

A warm and comfortable current flowed through his chest, and Lin Chen's injuries miraculously healed!

As his injuries healed, a screen appeared before Lin Chen's eyes.

[Obtained 7 points of blood energy, injuries healed.]

[Heavenly Dao Pickup System loading complete. This system is crafted by the Million Single-Player King, and the Single-Player King reminds you: being a show-off feels good for a moment, but being a show-off all the time feels good all the time.]

"The red balls I just picked up can heal my injuries and even increase my physical strength!?"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately sprang up, grabbing a green light ball and a white light ball by his side.

[Host obtained a complete Yellow Rank Intermediate Body Technique: Light Dust Step.]

[Host obtained 25 points of skill essence. Skill essence can be used to cultivate combat techniques or mental techniques.]

The consecutive system notifications made Lin Chen even more excited. He completely ignored the surprised and puzzled gazes of the people around him and started picking up the light balls from the ground.

From the reactions of others, Lin Chen knew that only he could see these magical light balls!

[Host obtained 23 points of blood energy. Automatically absorbing, tempering the body.]

[Host obtained 28 points of skill essence.]

[Host obtained 25 points of fire essence.]

[Host obtained a Yellow Rank Advanced Combat Technique: Wind Splitting Leg.]

Seeing Lin Chen bend down and grab wildly, the muscular man on the platform narrowed his eyes, revealing a killing intent!

This time, his mission was to kill Lin Chen. With the status of his master, killing an outer sect disciple was just a small matter!

"Lin Chen, since you're still alive, let's continue our fight!"

The muscular man suddenly attacked, his fist like a mountain-breaking hammer, angrily smashing into Lin Chen's back! The force of the punch caused the air to collapse and explode!

Rip~~!

Lin Chen suddenly turned around, his leg like a whip, violently kicking the thick arm! The kick broke the elbow!

Everyone clearly heard the crisp sound of the muscular man's bone breaking, and the onlookers shuddered with fear!

"Impossible, Lin Chen's leg strength seems to have reached over 3 tiger forces!"

"I remember he was only at the Body Tempering Realm, Third Level? Where did he get such strong physical strength?!"

Several disciples drew in cold breaths.

Tiger force is the unit of measurement for the Body Tempering Realm, 1 tiger force equals 4500 kg, equivalent to the strength of a fierce tiger.

3 tiger forces can only be tempered at the Body Tempering Realm, Fifth Level or higher!

When the muscular man's elbow broke, two red light balls fell out, which Lin Chen grabbed and absorbed.

[Host obtained 100 points of blood energy.]

"Oh? The attribute balls that drop from enemies have higher values!"

Lin Chen licked his lips, and after absorbing the 100 points of blood energy, his strength increased by several thousand kilograms! His realm had reached the Body Tempering Realm, Fifth Level!

"Xue Hu, I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you come to find your own death!"

Lin Chen moved his body, and his bones cracked with a burst of qi and heat!

He revealed a cold and murderous smile to Xue Hu, who trembled with a sense of facing a human beast!

"Damn, this kid must have hidden his strength!"

Xue Hu realized the situation was bad, and he saw Lin Chen's position create a wave of qi!

Lin Chen, like a swift leopard, charged straight at Xue Hu!

Raising his hand and clenching his fist, he gathered his strength and punched out, the force of the punch breaking 4 tiger forces!

The powerful punch wind forced Xue Hu to panic, and he barely blocked with his only usable arm, stepping back, but still being relentlessly beaten by Lin Chen!

With each punch, colorful attribute light balls fell, and Lin Chen collected them all!

"System, I want to learn the Wind Splitting Leg!"

[Consuming 120 points of skill essence, beginning to impart the Wind Splitting Leg to the host.]

A new set of memories surged into his mind, and Lin Chen almost instantly mastered it. He gathered his qi, and his leg transformed into a blade, kicking out diagonally, the whistling sound of the wind breaking through!

Boom~~!

A thunderous explosion, Lin Chen's leg strength soared to 8 tiger forces, kicking through Xue Hu's chest, sending him flying several meters away, bloodied and dead on the spot!

Killing Xue Hu, Lin Chen felt a surge of excitement and satisfaction!

His soul and the sensory memories of the original Lin Chen's body were fully integrated. Revenge and justice were the essence of this world, and Lin Chen's first kill brought him only satisfaction, no other emotions!

In this world, if your means are not ruthless and sharp enough, you will only be killed!

The dead Xue Hu dropped several attribute light balls, and Lin Chen rushed forward to pick them all up.

"Xue Hu, a Body Tempering Realm, Fifth Level, is actually dead?!"

"That move just now seemed to be the Wind Splitting Leg, with a strength of 8 tiger forces!"

"But he still provoked Liao Jianhua, he's definitely dead!"

Some of the onlookers stepped back, not daring to approach the newly revealed killing intent of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen held a large number of attribute light balls, continuously absorbing them, and his strength and cultivation rapidly increased!

[Host obtained 80 points of blood energy, absorbing.]

[Host obtained 40 points of skill essence.]

[Host obtained 37 points of fire essence.]

[Host obtained the Yellow Rank Top Combat Technique: Star Fire Spear Technique.]

Seeing Lin Chen madly grabbing and picking up the ground, his cultivation becoming increasingly powerful!

He was about to break through to the Body Tempering Realm, Sixth Level, leaving countless outer sect disciples stunned and their scalps tingling, as if they had seen a ghost!

What kind of cultivation method is this?!

They had heard of sudden enlightenment breakthroughs, breakthroughs by absorbing heavenly treasures, and self-mutilation cultivation breakthroughs, but they had never seen anyone break through by wildly grabbing the air!
