The Smiling, Proud Wanderer: Transmigrating to Mount Hua and Air-Dropping 100,000 Evil-Ending Sword Manuals

Jiang He accidentally binds himself to a mysterious building inside his mind. When he opens one of its doors, he transmigrates into the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. He has barely found his footing when Ning Zhongze, fresh out of the bath, throws herself into his arms and mistakes him for Yue Buqun. Before he can explain, she forces him down onto the edge of the bed. After being humiliated twice in a row, Jiang He finally loses patience and runs away from Mount Hua.

But the incident teaches him a lesson: since the Evil-Warding Swordplay can make people stronger, everyone in the martial world should practice it. So he prints a hundred thousand copies overnight and uses drones to airdrop them over Fuzhou City. He even hires beggars to sell them on the streets, and Yu Canghai spends fifty taels of silver to buy a copy. On the day of the Mount Hua Sword Debate, the fifteenth day of the eighth month, tens of thousands of martial artists gather at the foot of the mountain. Jiang He draws his sword before the crowd and shouts, “I’ll be the first to chicken out!” Blood splashes across the Saint of Chickening Out Stone. Zhao Wuji, the peerless Iron Fist, follows right after, and Yu Canghai joins in with tears in his eyes. In less than half a day, more than thirty people slash themselves on the spot.

From a distance, Yue Buqun watches the stone turn red, the corner of his mouth twitching. “Senior Brother Zuo, are you going to chicken out or not?” Zuo Lengchan narrows his eyes and smiles. “If you chicken out, then so will I.”
