On a rickety bed in the Qingyang City orphanage, Lin Yuan stares at his woeful cultivation panel. After three years practicing the low-grade Yellow-tier Blazing Sun Art, his proficiency has only reached 187/1000. Meanwhile, the young master next door has already boosted his to 600 with spirit stones and secured a recommendation to a top university.
Then golden light from the System's activation blazes across his retinas: [Host in dire straits detected. Fully Automated Cultivation System activated! All learned techniques will operate autonomously 24 hours a day. In a state of enlightenment, you can break through the limits of your cultivation realm!]
While others stay up all night meditating, he can lie down and sleep as his proficiency skyrockets. The scions of prestigious families mock him for being too poor to learn martial arts, but when he sneaks a glance at one of them practicing a technique, he enters a state of enlightenment and cultivates a Yellow-tier art into a “pseudo-Heaven-tier” technique that leaves even his instructor stunned!
With three months left until the college entrance exams, he's become a proficiency-obsessed fiend who seems to have a cheat code:
In 15 days, he takes the Blazing Sun Art from beginner level to Great Perfection. At the school tournament, he uses a basic palm technique to smash the Wang family's secret martial art, every punch wreathed in flames!
He secretly picks up an Earth-tier technique at a cram school, then enters a state of enlightenment and gathers a burning fireball in his palm. The invigilator's eyes nearly pop out. How did this lousy technique develop a martial intent?!
When the admissions officers from the four top universities crowd through the orphanage's tiny gate, Lin Yuan is staring at the automatic cultivation progress of his newly unlocked Profound-tier technique. From the bottom of the rankings in a border city to an enlightenment freak who makes Kyoto's geniuses kneel, his rise comes down to one simple truth: you cultivate through hard work, while I cultivate with my System on autopilot!
“I hear someone got into a top university through their bloodline talent?” He flicks the flames in his palm, on the verge of reaching the Subtle Realm of martial intent. “Sorry, my cheat can even copy the realm of the person who created the technique.”
