Chapter 1

"Rejected for the 80th time, just one more and I can complete the great mission of obtaining the scriptures. But this time, she didn’t scold me harshly. Could it be that she has fallen in love with me? Yes, it must be that. Cupid's damn arrow has finally hit me."

Yang Yu walked along, indulging in his self-admiration.

Three years of high school, four years of university, Yang Yu had pursued his goddess, Liu Xueyao, for seven long years. Logically, even an iceberg should have melted by now, but after seven years, the two of them seemed to be just as they were at the beginning. Yang Yu would confess, Liu Xueyao would reject him, Yang Yu would confess again, and Liu Xueyao would reject him again. This tug-of-war had continued until today, the day of Yang Yu's graduation dinner.

The graduation dinner, in other words, was a farewell meal, a common tradition in many universities. A farewell meant parting, and in such an environment, it was natural for people to pour out their hearts. Of course, the biggest highlight was watching some people reveal their deepest secrets, but this definitely did not include Yang Yu. He had already told Liu Xueyao his secret seven years ago.

At the dinner, Yang Yu grandly made his 80th confession, hoping that this time, at graduation, he would hear Liu Xueyao's heartfelt words. He had even once fantasized that Liu Xueyao, moved by his sincerity, would throw herself into his arms. Unfortunately, the result was far from his imagination.

No beauty fell into his arms, no applause or cheers, only the laughter of many classmates and a faint sentence: "Wait until you really know who I am."

Yang Yu couldn't understand Liu Xueyao's mysterious words, but compared to the scolding he usually received, this time was much gentler. So even though he was rejected, he was a bit excited, not sure if it was because he had become so accustomed to it that he was now a bit perverted.

Being rejected multiple times did not mean that Yang Yu was incompetent. On the contrary, everyone knew that Yang Yu was very excellent, from high school to university, he had always been outstanding. He was the top student in Jinghai City during the college entrance exam and had been a scholarship recipient every year in university. To add, it wasn't that Yang Yu was ugly. If Yang Yu were considered ugly, there would probably be no handsome men left in all of Jinghai University. Yet, this excellent person was always rejected.

Yang Yu was very depressed, depressed for seven years. He had always wanted to ask Liu Xueyao why she rejected him, but every time he was about to speak, Liu Xueyao would interrupt him. She was his goddess, but it seemed he had never been her prince.

It was already late at night, and a few of his drunk roommates had gone off to have fun. Yang Yu looked up at the sky, where the moon was mostly obscured by a thin layer of clouds, and the stars had long since disappeared. The night sky, except for the faint crescent moon, was filled with endless darkness.

"Tomorrow, all the classmates will go their separate ways. Tonight is bound to be a sleepless night. I've lived in Jinghai University for four years, and tonight I'll take a good look at this university that is both familiar and strange to me."

Graduation brought many reflections for Yang Yu. He even felt a bit of fear. He knew that after graduation, it would be hard to see Liu Xueyao again, but he had done his best, and now all he could do was endure and wait.

By the waters of Shuiyue Lake at Jinghai University, the place where he had confessed to Liu Xueyao for the 52nd time, which was also a holy ground for many couples, but now it was deserted. Leaning against the steps, he slowly sat down, a strange feeling rising in his heart.

"I'm still just a nobody." A tear suddenly appeared at the corner of Yang Yu's eye.

He sighed deeply, but a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth. He was not someone who gave up easily. Even though he had a moment of despair, he quickly adjusted his mindset. This was Yang Yu, an indestructible cockroach.

"Alright, it's time to go back." Yang Yu shook his head, feeling that his clothes were damp and his head was covered with dew. "This damn weather, so much dew, I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow."

Lifting his head, he suddenly froze. A red, fist-sized fireball with a long tail streaked across the sky, the dark night sky illuminated by a fiery red streak, and many places were lit up.

"Damn, it's a meteor! I need to make a wish. What should I wish for? My parents' health? No, they are already very healthy. Damn, of course, I should wish for Liu Xueyao to fall in love with me immediately. How could I forget that?"

Just as he was about to make his wish, Yang Yu's eyes widened. The meteor was heading straight for him, which scared him. He didn't want to be killed by a meteor before he could make his wish, and then he would have to tell the King of Hell his wish.

Without hesitation, he quickly started to dodge, and the meteor's light grew brighter. Just as he was wondering why the meteor was behaving strangely, the sky suddenly darkened, the meteor disappeared, and the light vanished.

"Huh, did it go out?" Yang Yu was stunned. "What's going on? I haven't made my wish yet. Damn, what a waste of a good opportunity. I finally took it seriously, and it didn't even give me a chance."

Muttering a few more words, Yang Yu felt a bit disheartened. Just then, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his mind. He didn't understand what was happening, and he curled up on the ground in pain, his forehead veins bulging, and blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, his hands tightly gripping his clothes.

At the same time, a series of voices echoed in his mind.

"Super Sect Master System successfully selected host, beginning to bind host's soul... Host's soul binding successful."

"Automatically detecting host's body... Host's body meets conditions."

"Automatically detecting host's planet environment... Host's planet environment meets conditions."

"Automatically connecting to virtual world... Virtual world connection successful."

"Automatically acquiring available items in the virtual world... Virtual world item acquisition successful."

"Automatically synchronizing host's identity information... Host's identity information synchronization complete, awaiting host's awakening."

...

After an unknown amount of time, the sky was already bright, and Yang Yu slowly opened his eyes. He tried to move his body but felt as if it had fallen apart, and any slight movement caused him intense pain. He glanced at his body and saw that his newly bought suit was wrinkled and his shiny leather shoes were covered in dust. His body was also wet, as if he had been through a rough night.

"Damn, what happened? Did someone drug me yesterday and take my virginity while I was unconscious? Oh my God, who could be so inhumane? My integrity! Xueyao, I have wronged you, I..."

"Beep!"

"Host has awakened, beginning initial connection with host." A clear female voice suddenly sounded, startling Yang Yu, who quickly climbed up despite the pain.

"Who, who is there? Come out, I heard your voice. Did you do something to me yesterday? How could you do that to a kind and honest person like me? Even if you had to, you shouldn't have knocked me out. That's not right."

"Host has been identified as having a strong self-admiration complex. Forcing host into the Sect Master Space."

As the clear female voice ended, Yang Yu saw that everything around him had changed. There was no familiar Shuiyue Lake, no familiar campus, only a spacious space a few dozen feet in diameter, misty and indistinct, and silent except for his own breathing.

"Am I seeing a ghost? Oh my God! I'm done for. I'm only 22, and my best years are not even halfway through."

Yang Yu let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground. How could he have encountered such a bizarre event?

"Hello, please don't be nervous. First, congratulations on obtaining the Super Sect Master System. As the system's built-in intelligent program, I am happy to serve you. I hope we can work together well in the future."

Yang Yu was stunned: "What do you mean? Please explain clearly. What's going on? How did you bring me to this place without saying anything?"

"Hello, I apologize for the intrusion. As you requested, I will now explain the situation. The Super Sect Master System was developed by the largest virtual universe company in the universe. It is a super auxiliary software designed to create the strongest sect and cultivate the strongest sect master. You have been fortunate enough to be chosen by the system, and you are now the owner of the Super Sect Master System." The intelligent program explained slowly, then added apologetically, "To give you a preliminary understanding of the system, I brought you to the system's built-in Sect Master Space."

Yang Yu finally understood. He was still alive and had obtained a strange system. However, he was puzzled about how to return and where this damn space was.

"Please don't be nervous. The Sect Master Space is actually your soul space. You can return to the real world at any time and enter here at any time. This is your soul world, belonging only to you. Additionally, it is also a storage space where you can place small items." The intelligent program explained.

"Damn, how can such an unbelievable thing happen?" Yang Yu shouted, but after a moment, he slowly accepted the unbelievable fact. "Alright, great intelligent program, continue!"

"Sure. Based on the time and space detection of Earth, you can establish a sect based on martial arts, and the system has connected to many virtual martial arts novel worlds. You have the opportunity to obtain items from these virtual worlds. Of course, based on the actual situation, the system has also automatically added many other items. With sufficient resources, you can recruit disciples and build your own sect." The intelligent program explained slowly.

Yang Yu was instantly overjoyed.

"Are Jin Yong's books included?"

"Yes, whether it's the martial arts manuals or the rare treasures, they are all in the system."

"What about Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, and Huang Yi?"

"Yes!"

"What benefits can I get?" Yang Yu's eyes narrowed; this was what he was most concerned about.

"Benefits?" The intelligent program paused, then said, "You can practice countless martial arts, immerse yourself in the ocean of martial arts, and understand the ultimate meaning of martial arts. To help you practice faster, the system doubles your practice and comprehension speed at level one. Each time the system levels up, your practice and comprehension speed increases by one fold. The more powerful you become, the more powerful your disciples will be. When the Super Sect Master System reaches level nine, I believe you will be invincible in the world."

"Invincible in the world... Sounds tempting, but it feels like a dream." Yang Yu smacked his lips, finding it hard to believe.

"Of course, this is just theoretically. In practice, it will be much more difficult. You are currently at level one of the Sect Master System. Now, respected Sect Master, let's start the first step. Please choose one of the following four sect names to establish your sect." The intelligent program said, "The four sect names are: 1. Zhengyi Sect; 2. Chongyang Sect; 3. Haotian Sect; 4. Shenhuo Sect."

"So, I can't choose my own name." Yang Yu was slightly moved, now acknowledging the system's existence. "Don't rush, this is not a small matter. Let me think carefully."

"Choose 1? No, I'm not a righteous person, I don't want to be laughed at. Choose 2? The name 'Chongyang' sounds a bit like a virgin, that's not a good omen. So, I can only choose 3 or 4, but 'Shenhuo Sect' sounds like a cult."

"Please choose quickly!" The intelligent program reminded.

"I choose 3, I choose 3, Haotian Sect!"

"Beep! Sect name determined as Haotian Sect. System automatically detecting... Allowed to establish... Haotian Sect established... Gifting host one lottery chance, 100 exchange points. Would the host like to draw immediately?" The intelligent program said mechanically.
