Xianyuan Continent, Xian Sheng Dynasty, Xianlong City, White Room Academy, Training Ground.
At this moment, the Training Ground was bustling with activity.
Under the blazing sun, over a hundred aspiring Trainees were already drenched in sweat, yet they gritted their teeth and vigorously swung their arms, engaging in the foundational training of martial artists—Body Refinement.
Body Refinement is the basic realm of martial arts cultivation.
It refers to the effort made to awaken the innate potential hidden within the body through acquired means.
This stage is extremely arduous.
It is akin to an eagle breaking its beak or a Phoenix undergoing a trial by fire; only those with "unyielding determination" can hope to see it through to the end.
Additionally, during the Body Refinement Realm, if one does not supplement their body with Nutrient Solution, they may suffer from hidden injuries that can accumulate into serious ailments...
The consequences can range from disability to death.
If a "martial artist" can reach the stage of cultivating Vital Energy through Body Refinement, it indicates that they possess considerable talent for cultivation.
At this point, continuous effort day and night provides a slim chance of successfully breaking through to the Origin Realm.
Successfully advancing from the Body Refinement Realm to the Origin Realm signifies that the martial artist has excelled in their foundational education and qualifies to be accepted as an official Trainee by the Inner Academy.
Those aspiring Trainees who do not break through to the Origin Realm will be sent back home, or they may become mercenaries or craftsmen...
Gradually returning to a life of ordinariness...
Despite the fact that the Training Ground was filled with boys only around eleven or twelve years old, each one was vigorously practicing their martial arts.
After all, youthful ambition is always filled with grand aspirations. Who wouldn’t want a life full of ups and downs, thrilling experiences, and even the joy of cultivation, becoming renowned in their own right, or even a legend?
“Stop! The sun is setting; everyone go back now, and remember to drink your nutritional supplements.”
With the instructor's command, the boys gradually halted their punches, each letting out a long breath as they walked away from the Training Ground with weary steps.
Lin Qiubai’s muscles trembled as he stood in place, gasping for breath.
His mouth was dry and parched, and he felt an overwhelming bitterness.
Because he had no nutritional supplements to drink!
Before Lin Qiubai crossed over, his parents had just sacrificed themselves on a mercenary mission.
The meager compensation from the Mercenary Guild had only lasted him two weeks' worth of nutritional supplements before it ran out.
Now, Lin Qiubai’s water pouch was filled with nothing but lifeless plain water.
After each grueling training session, Lin Qiubai could only use this water to alleviate the pain of his torn muscles...
He also knew that without the nourishment of nutritional supplements and continuing to push himself in Body Refinement, he was depleting his life force. The accumulated hidden injuries could cause him to collapse at any moment...
But...
“Watch out!”
Lin Qiubai was violently bumped from the side, causing his frail body to lose balance and fall heavily to the ground, blood streaming down his face from a wound on his forehead.
In his blurred vision, he saw that the one who maliciously collided with him was none other than Cao Zhendong, the son of his parents' old rival.
Cao Zhendong's parents were also mercenaries.
Rivals often clash. Thus, the Cao and Lin families had their fair share of conflicts, and Lin Qiubai frequently found himself at odds with Cao Zhendong.
However, ever since Lin Father and Lin Mother tragically met their demise, Lin Qiubai had lost the means to resist.
Just like now, he could only desolately lick his wounds.
"Hahaha, worthless trash! You don't even know how your parents died..."
Cao Zhendong laughed heartily, squatting down with a look of glee as he watched Lin Qiubai.
Lin Qiubai lay still; while Cao Zhendong had the audacity to knock him down, he did not dare to take it further, for this was the Academy.
In the Xian Sheng Dynasty, there are four types of institutions.
They are the Academy, Inferior Sect, Superior Sect, and the government.
The Academy provides primary education.
The Inferior Sect offers secondary education.
The Superior Sect is for higher education.
Academy is different from Sect; it is a place for young scholars.
Because it is a place for young scholars, the rules are strict. Anyone who trespasses will be killed on the spot.
If a Trainee kills a fellow student, the offender will be stripped of their status and exiled, becoming a laughingstock for life.
Once, a beloved prince of the emperor committed murder in the Academy using his power. When the news reached the palace, Xiansheng Emperor had only one thing to say: A prince who breaks the law is guilty like a commoner!
Thus, the prince was executed publicly...
Above the 30,000 Academy students are 9,000 Sect members.
In the Xian Sheng Dynasty, only those warriors who enter the Sect for higher education can be considered true strong fighters.
It is said that within the Sect, hidden dragons abound, and Heavenly Pride are numerous, like fish crossing a river.
Upon graduating from higher education, one can achieve great deeds for the country and even be granted vast territories, becoming a marquis of the Xian Sheng Dynasty.
Understanding the background of the Xian Sheng Dynasty, Lin Qiubai appeared calm.
In the Academy, his safety is at least guaranteed; he need not fear that Cao Zhendong will attempt to kill him.
"You've held on for three weeks; your hidden injuries must be fatal by now.
Let me tell you a secret.
Do you know why your parents died?"
Because while they were on a mission, there happened to be a mantis behind them...
"Heh heh, you should know who the mantis refers to, right?"
Cao Zhendong said, patting his thigh triumphantly before getting up to leave.
Laughter echoed in the Training Ground, belonging to Cao Zhendong.
For years, he had been overshadowed by Lin Qiubai. Every time his parents punished him, it was because he wasn't as diligent as Lin Qiubai and lacked Lin Qiubai's talent. How could Cao Zhendong not hate that?!
To be able to take revenge personally and see Lin Qiubai defeated and dejected like a stray dog brought Cao Zhendong immense satisfaction.
"Damn it..."
After struggling for a long time, Lin Qiubai finally managed to sit on the ground. He was lost in thought, staring blankly.
He had found the cause of his parents' deaths, and his enemies were clear, yet he had no life left to seek revenge...
What kind of despair was this?
...
[Ding! Payment Software has successfully mutated into Heavenly Dao Payment Software. Binding in progress, information confirmation in progress, software running, automatic scanning starting...]
"Heavenly Path Payment System?"
The vast amount of information in his mind left him quite astonished.
After studying for more than ten minutes, I finally understood the function of the Cheat Device.
The Heavenly Dao Payment System was originally a Payment Software on Lin Qiubai's phone.
Due to the anomalies that occurred during his journey through time, it evolved into the Heavenly Dao Payment System.
The Heavenly Dao Payment System can automatically scan for existing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, exotic beasts, elixirs, Martial Arts Techniques, and Martial Arts in the vicinity...
And it allows Lin Qiubai the opportunity to acquire them.
Of course, according to the laws of the Supreme Heavenly Dao, in order to obtain Treasure, one must pay an equivalent value of Fortune Value.
Fortune is something solely controlled by the Supreme Heavenly Dao; for mortals to reverse their Fortune is more difficult than reaching the heavens.
However, the mutated Heavenly Dao Payment System can steal from others, even from Sects and nations' Fortunes... thus enabling Lin Qiubai to achieve his goals effortlessly.
Interestingly, the Heavenly Dao Payment System also features activities like Heavenly Red Envelopes, Heavenly Treasure Chests, and Heavenly Fairy events to help the host grow quickly.
In other words, this is a cheat device brought over from Earth.
However, this is just a part of the Heavenly Dao Payment System's remarkable uses. More extraordinary effects will gradually be revealed as Lin Qiubai's cultivation strengthens and the system upgrades.
[Ding! Scanning detected 16 grams of Peiyuan Saliva below the White Room Sect's Fourth Training Ground. Would you like to acquire it? If so, please enter the details of the Fortune thief.]
Immediate results!?
Lin Qiubai's sore body tensed up in an instant.
Peiyuan Saliva is an invaluable Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure for martial artists in the Body Refinement Realm!
His parents were also martial artists, and in a world where martial prowess is revered, Lin Qiubai has absorbed a considerable amount of foundational knowledge.
If a Body Refinement Level Nine martial artist undergoes training at the Academy for a day, they must consume a pound of low-grade nutritional liquid to ensure their body does not exceed its limits.
However, just one gram of Peiyuan Saliva is sufficient for a Body Refinement Level Nine martial artist to go an entire week without needing additional nutritional supplements.
If Lin Qiubai, who is at the Body Refinement Third Layer, consumes one gram of Peiyuan Saliva, he would not have to worry about the negative effects of Body Refinement for an entire month.
At the same time, his training progress would be three to five times faster than that of others at the same level.
Lin Qiubai's heart raced. He knew this was an extraordinary opportunity.
He needed to obtain it immediately!
[Please enter the details of the person whose fortune has been stolen.]
Although the Heavenly Dao restricts such unearned gains, the system found a loophole—stealing his fortune as an exchange. This would be entirely beneficial for Lin Qiubai, with no drawbacks. After a moment's contemplation, he filled in the information for Cao Zhendong.
A projection of Cao Zhendong appeared in his mind, along with the information labeled [Fortune Thief].
Cao Zhendong:
Age: 12
Cultivation: Body Refinement Third Layer
Fortune: ???
[System identification in progress...]
[Host Fortune value differs from Cao Zhendong by more than one hundred, not meeting the criteria for theft. Please change the information of the target.]
Hmm?
Lin Qiubai shivered.
It is rumored that the Fortune value is used by the Supreme Heavenly Dao to maintain the orderly operation of heaven and earth.
Although it cannot be seen or touched, it plays a very important role in a martial artist's life.
Those with abundant Fortune can always enjoy the protagonist's halo and easily obtain fortuitous encounters.
For example, being favored by elders as soon as they enter a sect;
For example, gaining precious treasures during an adventure;
Or even falling off a cliff, only to turn misfortune into fortune and stumble upon a senior's treasure!
With such a high Fortune value, does it not mean that Cao Zhendong's life is destined to be extraordinary?
