"I'm sorry, Su Ba. We're not suitable for each other. Just give up already!"
"Lu Wan! These past few years, I've done everything for you, cared for you in every way… If you didn't like me, why did you let me treat you so well?!"
"Heh, don't overthink it. I just enjoyed the feeling of being worshipped. You've been cultivating at the academy for nearly three years now, and you're still stuck at the early stage of One-Star. Pathetic! You're destined to never become strong, destined to be a loser for life!"
"What do you even count for? At best, you were just my worst backup option!"
"Ah! Su Ba, what are you doing?! You bastard—don't run!!"
"..."
The chaotic, chirping noise in Su Ba's mind—like a flock of sparrows—startled him awake!
He suddenly sat up from the bed, looking around in confusion.
As a chaotic flood of fragmented memories abruptly surged into his mind, a trace of surprise gradually surfaced in his eyes!
…
…
"Did I... transmigrate?"
He had transmigrated to the Xuantian Continent, a world where martial strength reigns supreme!
Unlike his previous life, this world had a complete cultivation system.
Martial artists advance from One-Star to Nine-Star. After tempering the bones, they break into the Postnatal Realm!
According to Su Ba's memories, a Three-Star martial artist could tear apart tigers and leopards with their bare hands. As for those in the Postnatal Realm, they could shatter a small mountain with a single strike from afar!
It was said that above the Postnatal Realm was the legendary Innate Realm, where they could soar through the skies, vanish into the earth, move mountains and split seas—like gods!
Su Ba's eyes lit up!
In his past life in China, he had been a martial arts fanatic—especially obsessed with traditional Chinese combat techniques.
At twelve, he went to Mount Song to study under a master. By eighteen, he had mastered their arts and descended the mountain to challenge fighters across the country!
He was undefeated!
Through battle, he constantly gained insight and breakthroughs, eventually becoming unrivaled under heaven. Within China, he was honored as the Number One Martial Arts Grandmaster!
He had thought he would spend the rest of his life in lonely invincibility… until fate granted him the chance to transmigrate!
Now, he had arrived in this land teeming with powerful warriors—Xuantian Continent!
Was this destiny calling him to pursue the peak of martial arts once more?
However…
A bucket of cold water poured over his excitement—memories from this new body reminded him of the harsh reality!
This body was also named Su Ba, a branch family descendant of the Su Clan in Wind Martial City, capital of the Wind Martial Kingdom. His parents were ordinary folks who ran a small family-owned general store.
Their income was modest.
Worse, in the Phantom Night Academy of Wind Martial City, Su Ba was notorious for being a hopeless loser!
After nearly three years of cultivation, his cultivation level was still stuck at the early stage of One-Star Martial Artist. Most of his peers had already broken through to Two-Star!
He was usually looked down upon by everyone. And right before graduation, he finally confessed to the girl he'd admired for three years—only to be brutally rejected and emotionally destroyed!
In a fit of rage, he even kicked the girl in the butt.
Then he stormed out of the academy, locked himself in the small apartment he rented, drank himself into oblivion, and eventually… died from alcohol poisoning!
"Sigh… Was it really worth it?"
Su Ba shook his head faintly.
A simp in love ends up with nothing in the end!
Then, as he realized he had taken over the body of this very useless guy, a look of speechless frustration crossed his sharp face.
He frowned.
"If I remember right, the martial institutes across the Wind Martial Kingdom will start recruiting from the academies in the next few days. With this body's level, I probably won't even make it into the weakest martial institute!"
"If I can't even enter a martial institute, how could I walk the path of martial cultivation? How could I even dream of reaching its peak?!"
"Ding!"
