At the Qingyang Sect.
In the vast square, numerous arenas stood tall, with tens of thousands of people gathered together, creating a deafening roar like the clamor of mountains and seas.
However, at this moment, all eyes were focused on a massive light screen.
Names were listed from front to back, displaying the ranking of the outer disciples of the Qingyang Sect.
In the Qingyang Sect, the hundred thousand disciples are divided into outer disciples, inner disciples, and the most esteemed true disciples, based on their cultivation levels.
The tens of thousands in the square were all of low cultivation, belonging to the weakest Body Tempering stage, and were all outer disciples. They received the least money, did the hardest work, and lived like dogs every day.
Their only way to change their fate was to rank in the top one hundred in the triennial ranking competition and become true inner disciples.
From then on, they would live in wealth and luxury, standing above others.
“Ranked eighty-nine thousand six hundred fifty-three… Body Tempering stage one?”
“Damn, this guy is as useless as a dog. At least he should be at stage five or six! What was once a genius is now a trash, right? Some clan leader’s son with an engagement, and now this?”
“Am I really just at Body Tempering stage one, the last in the entire Qingyang Sect, and the most humble servant?”
Qin Yi sighed helplessly after glancing at the information on his identification plaque.
He wasn’t originally from this world but came from a place called Earth.
Qin Yi was originally a handsome guy who lived off his looks and captivated countless girls, but he died suddenly one night from overworking while writing a novel.
Qin Yi never expected to traverse into another world, specifically into a xianxia (immortal hero) world, and be reborn as a complete trash.
No background, no talent, no cultivation.
Not even good looks!
Memories surged into his mind, and Qin Yi quickly understood his situation.
It turned out that this was the Qingyang Sect, and he was participating in the triennial ranking competition, ranking dead last.
This body also belonged to someone with the same name as him Qin Yi, whose parents were once true disciples of the Lieyang Sect. They were besieged by the Qingyang Sect in alliance with several other sects, leading to their extermination.
His parents died tragically, and the young Qin Yi was taken as a slave, brought to the Qingyang Sect as a servant, doing the hardest and dirtiest work every day.
“So, you had a miserable life too. Since I have become you, I will avenge your blood feud!”
Qin Yi said in a deep voice.
A consciousness within him suddenly dissipated.
Qin Yi fully took control of this body.
[Beep!]
[Super Ability System is activating…]
Holy crap, a system!
Hearing this prompt, Qin Yi instantly became excited.
Could it be that he would become like those protagonists, with a system that lets him cheat and become invincible?
He would be able to defeat gods and demons, sleep with seven or eight beauties every day, and live a wonderful life?
One minute later.
[Super Ability System is activating…]
Ten minutes later.
[Super Ability System is activating…]
One hour later.
Damn it!
Qin Yi cursed, almost exploding with anger.
“Hey, you! The last one! This year, even if you have to crawl, get on the arena!”
“Get your ass up there, or don’t even think about eating this year.”
“Eat shit, Qin Trash!”
Wang Bapi, with his raspy voice, cursed as he grabbed Qin Yi by the collar and threw him onto the arena.
He was one of the managers of the outer disciples, overseeing a thousand of them, including Qin Yi.
This trash at the bottom, who never participated in the ranking competition, had become a joke in the Qingyang Sect, embarrassing even him.
Boom!
With a heavy thud, Qin Yi was thrown dizzy, his whole body feeling like it was falling apart, unable to even get up.
“Well, isn’t this Qin Trash, the last one? What, tired of living today and came up to die?”
Zhao Tiezhu, wearing a coarse short-sleeved shirt, exposing his muscular arms, looked very burly.
However, everyone knew he was a paper tiger, ranked eight hundred from the bottom, at over thirty years old and only at Body Tempering stage two, just a bit better than Qin Yi.
According to the rules of the Qingyang Sect, everyone had a hundred challenges. Each time, they could challenge an opponent within a thousand ranks. If they won, they would take their place.
Under such rules, if someone won a hundred consecutive battles, they could rise from the last rank to the first among outer disciples.
Of course, no one could win a hundred consecutive battles. Many gave up after a few attempts, never using all hundred opportunities.
After all, life and death were not considered on the arena, and no one wanted to die needlessly.
“How about this, I won’t bully you. I’ll spare you today, but you have to do all my work for the next year, how about that?”
Zhao Tiezhu smiled sinisterly.
Killing a trash ranked lower than him had no benefit. It was better to spare him and gain some advantage.
Many outer disciples did this.
You challenge me; I won’t kill you, but you have to give me many benefits.
“A year’s worth of work?”
Qin Yi’s face twitched, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Outer disciples were like laborers, working from dawn to dusk.
Qin Yi’s body was already weak. If he had to do double the work, he wouldn’t survive three months, let alone a year.
“What, you don’t agree? Heh, then I’ll beat you until you do.”
Zhao Tiezhu cracked his neck, making a series of snapping sounds, his smile growing more menacing.
The weak are prey to the strong, and the strong rule!
In this world, there was no such thing as righteousness!
The world is vast, but my fist is the biggest!
“Screw it, I’m dead anyway. I’ll fight you to the end.” Qin Yi struggled to get up, clenching his fists, his eyes as firm as steel.
Agree, and he would be worked to death; refuse, and he would be beaten to death.
Qin Yi did not want to live like a coward. He’d rather die like a man than live like a dog!
[Beep!]

“Activate your ass…” Qin Yi cursed, but then froze, “Wait, what? Activated successfully?”
[Super Ability System activated successfully…]
[Binding host Qin Yi…]
[Super Ability Store opening…]
[Congratulations, host. You have one lottery chance. Would you like to use it now?]
A mysterious, ethereal female voice echoed in Qin Yi’s mind, and his consciousness seemed to traverse into another world.
A giant roulette appeared before Qin Yi, resembling the lottery wheel from his past life, with various prizes written in each segment.
