Cultivation: From Dockworker to Venerable of Ten Thousand Arts

[No System] [Entering the Dao through martial arts] [Cunning old fox] [Character growth] [Not relentlessly tragic] [Mortal-style cultivation]

(The test readers had me completely baffled. The original title was “Cultivation: From Dockworker to Venerable of Myriad Arts.”)

Practice, simulation, general knowledge, specialization!

Spend, spend, spend, then spend some more!

With the Seal of Myriad Arts in his sea of consciousness, Wang Sheng starts out as a lowly dockworker and embarks on the path of martial arts.

Strength training, external force, internal force, innate realm!

And beyond the innate realm, it turns out, lies the path to immortality?

Wait! Why are there demonic cultivators everywhere? I'm a good person!

Luckily, he still has a cheat.

“Practice! If you can pay someone to do it, why break your back training?”

“Simulation! What danger could demonic techniques pose? Just die a few times and you'll get the hang of them!”

“General knowledge! What's so hard about learning spells? Just spend a little...”

Years later, as he prepares to ascend, Wang Sheng shares his life lessons with his disciple.

“Remember, disciple, diligence is the most important thing in cultivation. I've made it this far through hard work!”

“For someone as benevolent and virtuous as me, becoming a Heavenly Venerable is only right!”

“What's with that look?”

Wang Sheng flew into a rage, grabbed his disciple, and refined him on the spot.
