I Lie Flat and Take Down an Earth-Rank Expert, but the System Makes Me Beg

When a good-for-nothing with a Gray Spirit Root gets a System that absorbs true energy through reversed meridians, lying flat is the strongest path to cultivation!

Lin Yichen’s spirit root test reveals an “unknown good-for-nothing” mixed with gray energy. After ten years of hard cultivation, he’s still stuck at the second level of the Mortal Realm, mocked by the entire sect as someone with “a Gray Root and no chance at immortality.” But just as he’s about to leave the mountain, he activates the broken-bowl System left behind by his parents: the more beatings he takes, the stronger he gets; the more he lies flat, the more true energy he absorbs! A Redflame Chicken’s Earth-grade claws help him break through to the fifth level of the Mortal Realm. A New God Sect elder’s full-force attack turns into upgrade fuel, and even begging for money can trigger System rewards. The broken bowl, ragged robe, and snapped staff become the ultimate comeback gear!
