The Nine Provinces of the World, a land where the strong thrive. Within the Nine Provinces, the Human Race cultivates Qi, engaging in battles that determine life and death.
The strong can conceal the heavens with a flick of their fingers, shattering the void. Ordinary individuals temper their bodies, possessing the strength of thousands of kilograms, capable of splitting mountains.
Beyond the Nine Provinces lies a myriad of realms, vast and mysterious.
Among the Nine Provinces is the Desolate Territory of Ling Province, home to the Shenwu Sect.
Inside the martial arts training ground, thousands of warriors are engaged in practical combat training. Their fists and feet clash, unleashing surging energy and causing gusts of wind that tear through the air.
Outside the training ground, a crowd of disciples gathers around, attracted by the commotion.
Lin Chen, who has been knocked down to the ground, feels numbness throughout his body. His eyes roll back, and he convulses while spewing out a puff of white smoke.
"You dare to touch Senior Brother Liao Jianhua's woman? You worthless creature! Do you think someone like you can have any thoughts about Miss Qing'er?" A burly man standing on the stage flicks his fingernails with disdain, sneering.
[Beep, the host has successfully traversed and the Heaven's Path Loot System is loading: 2%... 4%...]
When the indifferent electronic sound rings out, Lin Chen's consciousness is awakened.
"What in the world is happening?"
He feels a tearing pain in his chest, blood staining his clothes, and several ribs broken.
As Lin Chen opens his eyes, a flood of memories suddenly rushes into his mind, enlightening him like an epiphany.
"The Nine Provinces of the World, the Human Race cultivating Qi, the Shenwu Sect, and Lin Chen, an Outer Sect disciple!"
"Body Tempering Realm, Qi Refining Realm, Spirit Connecting Realm, Battle Spirit Realm, Earth Evil Realm... This is a Xuanhuan world, and I've actually traveled to it?!"
In no time, Lin Chen integrates the memories that have surged into his mind.
The original owner of his current body was also named Lin Chen, an Outer Sect disciple of the Shenwu Sect, and they share the same name and surname.
Since childhood, Lin Chen has been inseparable from Su Qing'er, the daughter of the steward who adopted him. They grew up together as childhood sweethearts.
After becoming a couple, they entered the Shenwu Sect together as Outer Sect disciples.
However, within less than a year of joining the sect, Su Qing'er, with her enchanting beauty, gradually distanced herself from Lin Chen and actively approached Liao Jianhua, an elite disciple of the Inner Sect. In the end, she even became his concubine in order to be his woman.
Liao Jianhua is a true disciple of the Shenwu Sect, with a higher status than ordinary Inner Sect disciples. With his identity and means, it would be as easy as crushing an ant for him to kill Lin Chen.
When Lin Chen came to demand justice, he was blocked by the Outer Sect disciples around Liao Jianhua and was gravely injured during their fight!
"Brother, even after being betrayed, you still want to be a lackey? When a lackey reaches the end, he is left with nothing! Well, since we both share the name Lin Chen and I've traveled into your body, I will avenge your grudges!"
With his memories completely sorted out, Lin Chen's pale and youthful face forms a cold and fierce smile.
"Hey, it looks like this kid isn't dead yet!"
The disciples watching from outside the stage notice that Lin Chen doesn't seem to be responding and curiously whisper among themselves.
Unmindful of the surrounding gazes, Lin Chen suddenly discovers that there are radiant spheres scattered beneath the feet of those Outer Sect disciples.
These spheres vary in size, some as big as eggs, others as small as thumbs, and they emit different colors, including blue, red, and green, creating a dazzling display.
But more attribute light orbs appeared outside the arena where numerous Outer Sect Disciples were competing. After each battle, the disciples on the stage would drop various attribute light orbs of different colors.
"What are these things?"
Curiously, Lin Chen grabbed three red light orbs beside him. The light flickered and immediately merged into his body.
A pleasant and soothing warmth flowed through his chest, and miraculously, Lin Chen's injuries began to heal!
As his injuries healed, a screen popped up before Lin Chen.
【Obtained 7 points of vitality energy. Injuries have been healed.】
【Heavenly Loot System loaded. This system was meticulously crafted by the Millionaire Single-player King. Friend of the Single-player King's tip: Show off for a moment, enjoy the show-off forever.】

"The red orbs I just picked up can actually restore my injuries and increase my physical strength?!"
Lin Chen's eyes sparkled. With a sudden burst of energy, he immediately stood up and reached out for a green light orb and a white light orb beside him.
【Host obtained complete Yellow-rank Intermediate Body Movement Combat Skill: Breezy Dust Tread.】
【Host obtained 25 points of Essence of Martial Techniques. Essence of Martial Techniques can be used to cultivate combat skills or secret manuals of mind methods.】
Two consecutive system notifications made Lin Chen even more excited. He completely ignored the astonished and doubtful gazes of the people around him as he scrambled to pick up whatever was on the ground.
From the reactions of others, Lin Chen knew that only he could see these magical light orbs!
【Host obtained 23 points of vitality energy. Automatically absorbing and tempering the body.】
【Host obtained 28 points of Essence of Martial Techniques.】
【Host obtained 25 points of Fire Elemental Essence.】

Seeing Lin Chen bend over and rummage around as if he had gone mad, the bare-chested muscular man on the arena squinted his eyes, revealing a murderous intent!
This time, he had received instructions to kill Lin Chen. As the servant of his master behind the scenes, killing an Outer Sect Disciple was just a trivial matter!
"Lin Chen, since you're fine, let's continue our fight!"
The bare-chested muscular man launched a sudden attack, his fist resembling a giant hammer smashing towards Lin Chen's back! The might of his punch caused the air to collapse and the sound of the air bursting!
Rip~~!
Lin Chen suddenly turned around, his leg like a whip, violently kicking the thick arm! One kick broke the elbow!
Everyone clearly heard the crisp sound of the muscular man's bone breaking, and the onlooking disciples trembled!
"No way, the power of Lin Chen's kick seems to exceed 3 Tiger Powers!"
"I remember he's only at the Triple Body Tempering Realm. How can he have such strong physical strength?!"
Several disciples gasped in shock.
Tiger Power is the unit of measurement in the Body Tempering Realm, where 1 Tiger Power is equivalent to 4000 kilograms, the strength of a ferocious tiger.
To achieve 3 Tiger Powers, one would need to be at least at the Fifth Level of the Body Tempering Realm!
When he broke the opponent's elbow, two red light orbs fell from the muscular man's elbow and were grabbed by Lin Chen, absorbing them into his body.
[The host has gained 100 points of Qi and Blood Energy.]
"Oh? The attribute sphere obtained from beating people yields higher values!"
Lin Chen licked his lips and absorbed the 100 points of Qi and Blood Energy. His strength skyrocketed by several thousand kilograms! He had reached the fifth level of the Body Tempering Realm.
"Xue Hu, I haven't settled the score with you yet. Why don't you come and seek death on your own?"
Lin Chen moved his body and his entire body erupted with crackling bone sounds, creating a wave of scorching heat.
He revealed a hint of killing intent and sneered at Xue Hu, causing the latter's body to tremble. Xue Hu unexpectedly felt an oppressive sensation as if facing a humanoid beast.
"Damn, could this kid have hidden his true strength!?"
Xue Hu inwardly cursed. He saw a wave of Qi emanating from Lin Chen's position.
Lin Chen, like a swift cheetah, dashed straight towards Xue Hu.
Raising his hand into a fist, he gathered his strength and unleashed a powerful punch. The forceful gust of wind from the punch exceeded the strength of four tigers.
The tyrannical punch wind left Xue Hu in a state of panic. He swung his one remaining arm to barely defend himself but kept retreating, yet Lin Chen relentlessly pursued, repeatedly landing heavy blows.
With each punch, colorful attribute light spheres fell, and Lin Chen collected them all.
"System, I want to learn the Split Wind Leg!"
[Consuming 120 points of Martial Arts Essence, initiating the inheritance of Split Wind Leg for the host.]
A surge of new memories flooded Lin Chen's mind. Almost instantaneously, he assimilated the knowledge, channeling his entire body's Qi. His leg kicked diagonally like a sharp blade, producing a resounding howl of breaking wind.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion occurred as the power of Lin Chen's leg soared to eight times that of a tiger. It shattered Xue Hu's chest bone upon impact, causing his figure to fly backward for more than ten meters. He died on the spot, his flesh and blood in a gruesome mess.
Having killed Xue Hu, Lin Chen felt a sense of excitement and satisfaction welling up in his heart.
His soul and the original Lin Chen's body and sensory memories had completely merged. The pursuit of pleasure and revenge was inherent in this world. For the first time, killing someone brought Lin Chen nothing but pure delight, devoid of any other emotions.
In this world, if your methods are not ruthless and fierce enough, you can only become the one killed!
Xue Hu's death released more than ten attribute light spheres, and Lin Chen swiftly collected them all.
"What? The fifth level of the Body Tempering Realm, Xue Hu, is dead?!"
"It seems like that move was the Split Wind Leg, right? His strength has reached eight times that of a tiger!"
"But he also provoked Liao Jianhua. He's undoubtedly doomed!"
Some onlooking disciples retreated, not daring to approach Lin Chen, whose killing intent was just beginning to surface.
Lin Chen held a large pile of attribute light spheres in his hands, continuously absorbing them. His strength and cultivation immediately skyrocketed.
[The host has gained 80 points of Qi and Blood Energy and is currently absorbing them.]
[The host has gained 40 points of Martial Arts Essence.]
[The host has gained 37 points of Fire Essence.]
[The host has obtained the top-grade Yellow Rank combat technique, "Starfire Spear Technique."]
Witnessing Lin Chen randomly groping and scratching the ground in the martial arts field, his cultivation in the Body Tempering Realm grew even stronger.
Countless outer sect disciples watched in astonishment as he was on the verge of breaking through to the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm, their scalps tingling. It was as if they had seen a ghost!
What the hell kind of cultivation method is this?!
I've heard of breakthroughs through enlightenment, breakthroughs through absorbing heaven and earth treasures, and breakthroughs through self-destructive cultivation. But I've never seen someone achieve a breakthrough in cultivation just by wildly groping and clawing at the air!
