The Special Forces Soldier's Rise in the Cultivation World

When Lei Lie opens his eyes in another blood-soaked cycle, the roar of gunfire has given way to the distant tolling of a mountain temple bell. He has been reborn in a world of cultivation academies, where everyone considers him a good-for-nothing with no spiritual roots. Yet the iron will of a special forces soldier is etched into his bones, along with the hard-won experience of surviving life and death.

When he first enters the academy, he knows nothing about sword flight, has no clue how to make pills, and can barely keep up with even the most basic breathing exercises. Others mock him for seeming to have “ended up in the wrong world,” but before dawn each day, Lei Lie rises alone and swings his military dagger through the air, weaving physical training into his fists.

Through one contest and crisis after another, Bai Luo, who was initially hostile toward him, gradually understands that what burns fiercely within this man is not talent, but unshakable conviction.

Yet behind every comeback, Lei Lie pays the price with his body and his will
