Cornered, I Struck Back, Dug Through the Mine, and Turned My Fate Around

(Decisive and ruthless + No heroine + Good-for-nothing + Ordinary mortal cultivation)

Starting out as a bullied “good-for-nothing” with five spiritual roots, he grows stronger through his own struggles and opportunities, while an insignificant nobody's unyielding spirit inspires those around him.

Spiritual roots are not everything. Character, perseverance, and opportunity matter just as much. Power is meant to protect, not to bully. Cultivation is about more than longevity and strength: it is also about cultivating the heart.
