Longevity: The Outcast, Growing Stronger Just by Staying Alive

Qi, also known as Innate Qi! Those who possess Qi can overpower all the heavens, like immortals. Those without it are ordinary mortals. Zhang Ye’s soul transmigrated to another world. From the start, he enrolled in Wudang’s admissions program, and at just eight years old, he was accepted. But who could have guessed that he couldn’t sense Qi at all? Everyone at Wudang was utterly shocked. In the end, they had him take over street sweeping. He swept streets for ten years, then went down the mountain to study at eighteen. He thought cultivation was out of reach, but while sweeping the streets that year, he stumbled upon the Longevity System. As long as he stayed alive, he gained one point of martial power each day, equivalent to a wisp of Qi. To grow stronger, Zhang Ye volunteered to sweep the Treasure Pavilion for five years, then Wudang’s main hall for another five. In the first year, the System rewarded him with the Golden Light Mantra, which could ward off anything. In the second year, it rewarded him with advanced thunder techniques. Their power was overwhelming, and anything struck by lightning was obliterated! In the third year, it rewarded him with the Tongtian Talisman Script, letting him draw talismans in midair and suppress a hundred ghosts. He thought he could keep lying low at Wudang, but no one there knew he could cultivate. The sect leader decided to send him down the mountain to study. “Zhang Ye, whatever you do, don’t say you’re from Wudang once you’re down the mountain!” “Understood, Sect Leader! Then what should I say?” The Wudang Sect Leader replied, “Just say you’re a trainee who studied at the Celestial Master Mansion for ten and a half years. You specialize in putting all challengers in their place.” And so, the Celestial Master Mansion gained a miracle worker who excelled at everything. Only when everyone at the Celestial Master Mansion started calling him Martial Uncle did he explain, “Actually, actually, I’m the head of Wudang!”
