Jin Youxi opened the photo album on her phone.
She looked at the photo of herself with her master.
Tears silently streamed down her face.
As usual, she opened the green chat app and sent a message to Chen Feng.
Since Chen Feng left, this had become a habit of hers.
Almost every day, she would send him messages.
Hoping that one day, her master would suddenly reply.
Unconsciously, she had already sent thousands of messages to Chen Feng.
“Master, I’m coming home.”
“I will find a way to get the Zhu Fruit, even if I have to steal it, I must cure Weiwei’s leg.”
“With Master gone, as the senior disciple, I will protect my junior sister.”
“Master, I really miss you.”
“I want to see you again.”
After sending the messages, Jin Youxi wiped away her tears and waited for the people from her clan to pick her up.
Great Xia was now under martial law.
But the restrictions were concentrated in the west.
The land route heading east was somewhat more lenient.
Jin Youxi had no choice but to follow her clan members and return home by land.
She had already hired a caregiver for Liu Weiwei.
And she had paid off all the loans her master had left behind.
Her junior sister now had a ten million bonus; even without her, she could live well.
Jin Youxi checked her phone hundreds of times every day.
She kept up with the latest news from Kunlun Mountain.
Recently, news from Kunlun Mountain had become scarcer.
Fewer and fewer people were coming out.
Almost every piece of information brought was bad news.
Casting a shadow over all of Great Xia.
And the biggest shadow over Jin Youxi’s heart
Was the last video showing Chen Feng about to be ambushed by countless invaders from front and back.
Since then, no news of Chen Feng had appeared.
Almost everyone following this matter
Had already concluded
That Chen Feng had surely perished in Kunlun Mountain.
With tens of thousands of pursuers behind him and hundreds of thousands of enemies ahead,
No one believed Chen Feng could have survived such a situation.
At first, Jin Youxi still held onto hope.
But as time passed bit by bit,
No news from her master ever came.
Her heart finally sank into despair.
Now, she only wished that her master’s spirit could bless her to successfully obtain the clan’s Zhu Fruit
And cure junior sister Liu Weiwei’s leg.
For Jin Youxi,
No matter what,
Her master’s legacy must not be broken.
Her master had taken in four disciples in total.
The eldest disciple, Xiao Ruohan, had betrayed them.
She, the second disciple, was barely a martial apprentice and still knew no real martial arts.
The third disciple, Liu Weiwei, was the most promising — a national champion, but unfortunately had lost the use of one leg.
As for the fourth disciple, the most detestable,
No one could contact them at all.
Jin Youxi decided, for the sake of her master’s legacy,
She must find a way to cure her most promising junior sister.
Soon, Jin Youxi was met by three bodyguards sent by her clan.
After two days of arduous travel,
Jin Youxi finally returned to her country.
The Jin family’s power immediately became apparent.
Two helicopters were parked right in front of her.
But the person who came to greet her surprised her.
It was her cousin, Jin Youzhen, with whom she had a very bad relationship.
Jin Youzhen stepped off the helicopter, smiling sweetly at her cousin.
Then, without any hesitation, she said to her subordinates beside her:
“Kill those three bodyguards.”
“I’ll personally deal with that little bitch!”
Jin Youxi and the three bodyguards around her were shocked.
“Second Miss, run!” one of the bodyguards shouted.
The other two bodyguards had already fled on their own.
But it was all in vain.
These bodyguards only possessed the strength of advanced martial artists.
Yet Jin Youzhen had brought along a martial arts master.
The three martial artists didn’t even qualify to run for their lives in front of the master.
Jin Youxi looked at her cousin in panic.
Although their relationship had always been strained,
it had never reached the point where one wanted to kill the other.
“Jin Youzhen, why are you doing this?”
Jin Youzhen smiled coldly, but there was no warmth in her eyes.
“Why am I doing this?”
“Isn’t it because you insisted on stealing my man?”
Jin Youxi was confused and didn’t understand what her cousin meant.
“When did I ever steal your man?”
Jin Youzhen snorted coldly.
“I was supposed to marry the second young master of the Park Family, a marriage alliance to represent our family.”
“But the other party suddenly wanted to switch the engagement to you instead.”
“What do you have that I don’t, you good-for-nothing?”
“Why was it you they chose, and not me?”
As Jin Youzhen spoke, anger twisted her face.
Her overly altered features looked frightening.
Jin Youxi’s anger flared up as well.
“I’m not a good-for-nothing!”
“My master said I’m a one-in-a-million martial arts prodigy!”
At those words, Jin Youzhen’s expression of rage instantly turned into laughter.
Even the bodyguards around her burst out laughing.
They were her trusted confidants.
They all knew about Jin Youxi’s situation.
Years ago, it was discovered that her innate constitution was extremely poor,
making her unsuitable for martial arts training.
Unable to accept this harsh truth,
Jin Youxi went to Great Xia, the pinnacle of martial arts,
to chase her dream of mastering kung fu.
Jin Youzhen laughed loudly, pointing at Jin Youxi with mockery.
“A one-in-a-million martial arts prodigy?”
“Are you trying to kill me with laughter?”
“You’re nothing but a one-in-a-million fool.”
“You went all the way to Great Xia and ended up with a fraud as your master.”
Jin Youxi hated it when anyone insulted her master.
She immediately retorted,
“My master is not a fraud.”
“My master said that as long as I open my Ren and Du meridians, I can become an unparalleled expert.”
An unparalleled expert?
Jin Youzhen laughed again.
She felt like this cousin was about to make her die of laughter.
The martial arts master beside her also sneered.
“Your constitution is so poor, yet you still fantasize about opening the Ren and Du meridians.”
“I’ve been training for so many years and haven’t fully opened mine.”
“There are fifty-two major acupoints along the Ren and Du meridians, and not just anyone can open them.”
“If you make a mistake, it could cause severe injury or even death.”
Hearing the master’s words, a cruel idea sparked in Jin Youzhen’s mind.
“Today, I’ll help you open those meridians and see if you really can become an expert.”
“Seize her!”
At her command, the bodyguards moved forward and firmly restrained Jin Youxi.
As an advanced martial artist herself,
Jin Youzhen was naturally familiar with the body’s acupoints.
She was fully aware of the dangers involved in forcibly opening the meridians.
Now, she looked at Jin Youxi with a sinister grin.
“Before you die, I’ll make you face reality.”
“I’ll make you realize just how foolish you are.”
“To think you’d go all the way to Great Xia and end up with a fraud as your master.”
Jin Youxi struggled desperately,
but her small martial artist strength was no match.
She could only fight back with words.
“My master is not a fraud...”
But before a single word could be spoken, Jin Youzhen struck her abdomen with a palm.
Jin Youxi immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Her internal acupoints—Qugu, Zhongji, Guanyuan, Shimen—were all pierced by Jin Youzhen’s palm.
“Cousin, no need to thank me!”
“Hahaha…”
Jin Youzhen unleashed blow after blow, a sinister grin spreading across her face.
She was both exhilarated and unhinged.
Carefully controlling the force of each strike, she feared killing her outright.
She wanted Jin Youxi to endure the pain for a while longer.
But when she pierced the Tanzhong acupoint, Jin Youxi coughed up a violent mouthful of blood and completely lost consciousness.
Yet Jin Youzhen refused to stop.
Only after the final palm strike shattered Jin Youxi’s Baihui acupoint—
destroying all the meridians along the Ren and Du channels—did she finally relent.
She then patted Jin Youxi’s bloodied face and asked,
“You’re a martial prodigy. Your meridians have now been opened by your senior cousin.”
“Let me see your peerless martial arts.”
“Don’t be so stingy!”
“Hahaha…”
The brutal scene was enough to make even the bodyguards look away in discomfort.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
