"Although I haven't mastered that kind of freakish martial will."
"Although I can't dream up peerless spear techniques."
"But—"
Lin Xiaoxiao deliberately drew out her final syllable, dropping a bombshell.
"I've learned a Heaven-rank martial art!"
Heaven-rank martial art!
The moment those four words left her mouth.
Su Yu's deep, profound eyes narrowed sharply.
His footsteps came to a halt as well.
The martial arts ranks of the Great Xia Empire, from lowest to highest, were divided into four tiers: Yellow, Profound, Earth, and Heaven.
In Jiang City, a Profound-rank Breathing Condensation Art cost eight hundred thousand just for a trial lesson at the martial arts library!
As for Earth-rank martial arts.
Those were rare treasures worth fighting tooth and nail for among Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters.
And Heaven-rank...
That was a true national treasure!
It was a supreme secret manual accessible only to Martial Kings, Martial Emperors, and even the legendary Martial Sovereigns!
Every Heaven-rank martial art contained terrifying, world-destroying power, and could even resonate with a sliver of the laws of heaven and earth.
Lin Xiaoxiao had actually learned a Heaven-rank martial art?!
Seeing the undisguised shock in Su Yu's eyes.
The little bit of frustration in Lin Xiaoxiao's heart vanished in an instant.
Replaced by an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.
"Heh heh, surprised, right?"
With her hands clasped behind her back, Lin Xiaoxiao circled Su Yu with light, cheerful steps.
"This is my Lin family's secret art, passed down only within the clan."
"It's called the Great Wilderness Starfall Fist!"
"My dad only managed to reach the threshold of this boxing art when he was at the Great Grandmaster level."
Lin Xiaoxiao extended her fair, delicate hands and waved them in front of Su Yu.
Her tone carried a faint trace of grievance and pride.
"To train in this boxing art."
"I had to spend ten hours a day in the gravity chamber."
"My hands broke who knows how many times, and every night I had to soak in those high-grade bone-forging medicinal baths that hurt so much you'd want to die."
"Even my dad tried to talk me out of it, saying my qi and blood realm wasn't high enough, and that forcing it would damage my foundation."
"But..."
Lin Xiaoxiao stopped in front of Su Yu.
Looking straight into his eyes.
In those pure, clear eyes burned a light called stubbornness.
"I still managed to master it!"
"It's only barely at the entrance level, not even fully grasping the first stage."
"But as long as I unleash all my qi and blood with one punch, I can definitely kill enemies above my rank!"
Lin Xiaoxiao clenched her small fist and waved it in front of Su Yu.
Kicking up an extremely fierce gust of wind.
"So!"
"Su Yu, Special Freshman."
"Don't think that just because you've comprehended Manifested Spear Intent, you can walk all over Capital Martial."
" If it really comes down to a fight, your thousand points of qi and blood, plus that broken spear of yours, might not even be a match for this young lady!"
Proud.
Competitive.
Yet there was a sincerity about her that was impossible to ignore.
Su Yu quietly watched the girl before him.
He didn't refute Lin Xiaoxiao's taunt.
Nor did he use his freaky Manifested Spear Intent to crush her confidence.
Instead, he set aside his usual indifferent expression.
And nodded with absolute seriousness.
"Mhm."
"I believe you."
Su Yu looked at her, a gentle curve forming at the corner of his mouth.
"Heaven-rank martial arts are indeed incredibly powerful."
"I'll be counting on Miss Lin to look after me at Capital Martial from now on."
Hearing Su Yu's words of genuine acknowledgment, free of any hint of condescension.
Lin Xiaoxiao's cheeks flushed with a faint reddish hue for no apparent reason.
She looked away awkwardly and let out a small cough.
" Ahem... you'd better know it."
"Don't worry, I'll keep my word. If anyone dares to mess with you, I'll pulp them into a meat patty with the Great Wilderness Starfall Fist!"
The atmosphere at that moment became exceptionally warm.
Even carrying a touch of the unique tenderness and passion of youth.
The two exchanged smiles.
Turned around, and continued walking side by side.
Half an hour later.
At the edge of their sight.
A colossal, majestic complex of buildings—like an ancient beast crouching low on the horizon—slowly came into view.
The highest martial arts institution in the Great Xia Empire.
The Capital's First Martial Arts University!
On the hundred-meter-tall alloy gate, four characters were carved with blade and axe—Struggle for Martial Supremacy!
Standing before this gate alone, one could feel an overwhelming, blood-soaked ferocity accumulated through a century of brutal battle.
At this moment.
The plaza outside the school gates was already buzzing with noise.
Luxury cars filled the area like clouds.
Countless new students from all over the country—heralded as the favored children of heaven—gathered here, carrying pride, anxiety, and dreams.
Everywhere were senior students holding welcome banners.
Everywhere were young faces with surging qi and blood.
A scene of lively chaos.
But.
The moment Su Yu and Lin Xiaoxiao stepped into the plaza side by side.
Su Yu's perception, honed by ten million years of spear intent, instantly sensed something wrong.
Beneath the surface of all this noise and excitement.
Countless gazes filled with hostility, scrutiny, jealousy, and even murderous intent lurked hidden.
These gazes, like venomous snakes lying in wait in the shadows.
From every direction, locked tightly onto him.
"Hey, look! It's Lin Xiaoxiao!"
"That specially recruited monster from Jiang City? The one with four hundred qi and blood?"
"Who's that guy next to her, carrying the long bundle wrapped in black cloth?"
"Are you blind?! The inner forum exploded last night, didn't you see?"
Whispers and suppressed exclamations rippled through the crowd.
"He's Su Yu!"
"The one Vice Principal Nie personally ordered to be named 'Special Freshman'!"
"What?! That's him?!"
"He looks totally ordinary—barely any qi and blood fluctuation at all. How can he be ranked alongside Principal War God?!"
"I heard he comprehended Soul-Calming Spear Intent, and Director Chu Kuang almost came to blows with Director Lei Jue over him!"
"Bullshit! Soul-Calming Spear Intent is something ferocious and overbearing—how could an eighteen-year-old freshman comprehend it? I bet he cheated somehow using some shady method!"
The murmurs grew louder and louder.
Some upperclassmen from sophomore and junior years even unleashed their powerful qi and blood pressure without any restraint, crushing toward Su Yu's position.
Special Freshman.
That title was too heavy a weight to bear.
Heavy enough to crush any genius who lacked absolute strength to back it up.
It was like a giant bullseye, exposing Su Yu completely to the crosshairs of every elite at Capital Martial.
Lin Xiaoxiao naturally felt those unfriendly gazes as well.
Her smile instantly vanished.
A cold gleam flashed in her pure, clear eyes.
She stepped forward, subtly positioning herself beside Su Yu, and her qi and blood began to circulate slowly.
The opening stance of a Heaven-rank martial art was already priming in secret.
"Su Yu."
Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her voice, her tone serious.
"Looks like."
"These people are all waiting to see you make a fool of yourself."
"If you let them suppress your momentum on the very first day of registration, you won't be able to take a single step forward at Capital Martial."
Facing the wave of malice and pressure surging toward him from all sides.
Su Yu didn't retreat half a step.
He stood still.
His deep eyes slowly swept across the entire crowd.
Wherever his gaze landed, the older students who had been trying to test him with their qi and blood pressure felt a sudden, inexplicable palpitation in their hearts—and averted their eyes.
This was a primal fear that originated from the very depths of the soul.
It was like a herbivore suddenly being locked onto by a dormant ancient beast of prey.
Su Yu reached out his hand.
He gripped the Abyss Dragon Spear wrapped in black cloth behind his back.
Feeling the icy touch that seeped through the cloth.
Setting the rules?
Su Yu sneered inwardly.
That requires the strength to back it up!
“Let’s go.”
Su Yu loosened his grip on the spear.
His tone was calm.
“We’re going to report in.”
He stepped forward, walking without hesitation toward the gates of Jingwu, under countless complex gazes.
The storm had arrived.
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately...

Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
