Zhongnan Mountain, home to the Quanzhen School of Taoism.

On the training ground, hundreds of third-generation disciples were practicing in the morning, their shouts rising and falling.

A slender boy was pushed to the ground by a taller Taoist priest, which drew laughter.

"Lin Ye, you good-for-nothing! You can't even stand up straight, what are you doing practicing martial arts? You might as well go down the mountain and chop wood and carry water!"

The arrogant Taoist priest, whose name was Zhao Zhijing, was the eldest disciple among these third-generation disciples and a disciple of Qiu Chuji. He usually liked to bully these newly initiated junior brothers, especially those like Lin Ye who had no foundation and poor talent.

Lin Ye struggled to get up from the ground, but his whole body ached and his limbs were as weak as noodles, so he couldn't muster any strength.

Instead of helping him, none of his fellow disciples stood by and pointed, gloating.

"Look at him, he's a disgrace to our Quanzhen Sect."

"Exactly, I don't know how the sect leader could have accepted such a piece of trash in the first place."

"Senior Brother Zhao is right to reprimand him; this kind of person should be kicked out of the Quanzhen Sect!"

Hearing these harsh taunts, Lin Ye felt both angry and anxious, but his body wouldn't obey him.

He wasn't from this world. His name was Lin Ye, and he was originally an ordinary office worker in the 21st century. He woke up one day to find himself in the body of this unlucky guy with the same name.

The original owner of this body was cowardly and had extremely poor talent. In the Quanzhen Sect, he was just a punching bag that anyone could kick.

Today was the same again. Just because he accidentally splashed some water on Zhao Zhijing's Taoist robe while fetching water this morning, Zhao dragged him to the training ground and publicly humiliated him.

Just as Lin Ye was feeling desperate, thinking that he would be badly injured even if he didn't die today, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Ding! Strong will to survive detected in the host. God-level Sign-in Interception System officially activated!"

"New player gift pack being distributed, host, would you like to claim it now?"

Lin Ye was completely stunned.

system?

Has my cheat code finally arrived?

Are the standard perks for time travelers finally here?

He was overjoyed and almost shouted, "Claim it! Claim it now!"

"Ding! New player gift pack successfully claimed!"

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the [Max Level Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms]!"

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the [Max Level Yi Jin Jing]!"

As soon as the system finished speaking, Lin Ye felt an indescribable surge of heat explode from his dantian, instantly rushing to his limbs and bones, and connecting all the meridians in his body!

His body, which had been weak and sore, was now filled with explosive power.

Those blocked and obstructed acupoints were flattened by the bulldozer, and internal energy surged and roared within them, flowing freely.

At the same time, countless martial arts principles, essential moves, and internal energy cultivation methods of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and the Yi Jin Jing were like a sudden enlightenment, deeply imprinted in his mind. He had been practicing diligently for hundreds of years, and he knew every detail by heart.

This feeling...

So cool!

Lin Ye could clearly feel that the internal energy within his body was frighteningly powerful, probably not much different from those peerless masters on TV.

"Useless! Still playing dead on the ground?"

Seeing that Lin Ye hadn't moved for a while, Zhao Zhijing assumed he'd been beaten senseless and grinned even harder. "Today I'll show you what rules are!"

As he spoke, he channeled the internal energy of the Quanzhen Sect, and his right palm, accompanied by a whooshing sound, slammed towards Lin Ye's head.

If that palm strike lands squarely, Lin Ye will either die or become an idiot.

The disciples around them instinctively closed their eyes, already anticipating the bloody scene.

However, just as Zhao Zhijing's palm was about to touch Lin Ye, Lin Ye suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes changed; they were no longer filled with the cowardice and fear of before, but with a calm that was so serene it was unsettling.

Faced with this fierce palm strike, Lin Ye subconsciously raised his right hand to block it.

"Bang!"

A dull, loud bang.

The moment their palms met, the sinister smile on Zhao Zhijing's face froze, replaced by extreme terror.

He felt as if he had not photographed a hand, but an unshakeable mountain!

An overwhelming and terrifying force, unlike anything he had ever felt before, rebounded from the opponent's palm, shattering the internal energy in his palm with overwhelming force, and then slammed into his meridians!

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound came from Zhao Zhijing's arm.

"Pfft—" He screamed as he was knocked away by a mad bull. His body traced a messy parabola in the air, flying more than ten meters away before crashing heavily to the ground with a "thud."

He struggled twice but couldn't get up. He opened his mouth and spat out another mouthful of blood, staining the bluestone slab in front of him red. Then his head lolled to the side and he completely lost consciousness.

The entire training ground fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

Everyone was stunned, their mouths agape, their eyes practically bulging out, staring intently at the figure still sitting on the ground in the center of the arena.

just……

What happened?

Senior Brother Zhao Zhijing...

He was sent flying by that good-for-nothing Lin Ye's palm strike?

He was beaten until he vomited blood and fell unconscious?

Are you kidding me!

Zhao Zhijing was the number one disciple among the third generation. He was extremely skilled in the Quanzhen sword technique and had also made some progress in internal energy. He could be considered a third-rate expert in the martial arts world.

What about Ke Linye?

He's a complete idiot, the whole church agrees!

I've been practicing for almost a year, but I still haven't developed any Qi sensation even with the basic techniques of the Quanzhen School. I walk unsteadily, as if I'd fall over if the wind blew me down.

This piece of trash, sitting still, casually raised his hand and seriously injured Zhao Zhijing.

This is even more outrageous than the sun rising in the west!

"Am I...am I seeing things?"

One of the disciples rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"Are you seeing things...? I saw it too... Senior Brother Zhao really... really was sent flying by his palm strike..."

The voices of the people next to me were trembling.

"This...how is this possible? When did Lin Ye become so powerful?"

"The martial arts he just used weren't from our Quanzhen Sect. That power... was terrifying..."

The Taoist instructor in charge of supervising the morning exercises was also completely dumbfounded.

He rushed to Zhao Zhijing's side, reached out to check his breath and pulse, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

Zhao Zhijing was breathing weakly, his pulse was erratic, the bones in his right arm were completely shattered, and his internal organs had suffered severe shock!

The injury was too severe!

The Taoist instructor looked up in shock at the boy who was slowly rising from the ground.

Lin Ye straightened up, feeling the continuous power within his body, and felt a surge of excitement.

Is this what it feels like to be a max-level player?

too strong!

He didn't even exert any force; it was just the protective power of the Yi Jin Jing that automatically countered, and that crippled Zhao Zhijing.

He looked down at his palms; these hands were no longer the weak and powerless ones they once were.

From now on, who would dare call me a piece of trash?

Just then, the cold system voice sounded again.

"Ding! The first god-level sign-in location has been refreshed—the Tomb of the Living Dead. Please go there to sign in and receive generous rewards!"
