The Outcast: I Lie Flat and Grow Stronger, Shocking the Old Celestial Master

As a child, Zhang Yuqing witnessed his family being killed by Quanxing. Rongshan brought him back to Mount Longhu, where he became a nominal disciple of the Old Celestial Master.

While others began their training by painstakingly cultivating qi, his Simplification System cut every difficulty down to the bare minimum.

Breathing increased his qi. Sleeping cultivated the Pure Heart Mantra. Sunbathing automatically improved his Golden Light Mantra, while watching the rain and listening to thunder let him accumulate Yang Five Thunders.

When Rongshan saw him lying on the roof day after day, he was so angry he decided his junior brother was a complete failure.

Ten years later, Zhang Yuqing's immense qi and golden light towered over his peers. Only then did the people of Mount Longhu realize that he hadn't neglected his training: he had been growing stronger with every breath.

When the simplified requirements for Yin Five Thunders appeared, he resolutely left the mountain in front of the Old Celestial Master.

A romantic tribulation that should have belonged to Zhang Lingyu would now become the opportunity Zhang Yuqing needed to complete the Five Thunder Orthodox Method.
