My Proficiency Comes with Special Effects. I Meant to Lay Low, but Became Invincible

[Slow burn]+ [Leveling up]+ [Careful buildup]+ [Playing it safe]+ [Decisive and ruthless]+ [Ensemble cast]+ [Not mindless wish fulfillment]…

Dynasties crumble, and human lives are as worthless as grass.

After transmigrating into the body of a dock laborer, Lin Sheng expects to struggle and await death in this chaotic age.

Until the [Proficiency Panel System] awakens.

"Rock-Solid Fist Stance" (1/100), estimated time to master: ten days?

Special effect triggered:

[Intense focus detected… entering “self-and-world-as-one” state!]

["Rock-Solid Fist Stance" proficiency +3!]

…

His proficiency shoots up, and what should have taken ten days takes only one.

While others toil in bitter training for ten years, one day of serious practice is enough for him.

While the martial world’s prodigies are celebrating their breakthroughs, Lin Sheng stares at the techniques already maxed out on his panel, lost in thought.

“I’m really not a genius. It’s just that my panel… doesn’t seem quite normal?”

On top of that, taking pills, fighting in real combat, and focusing without distraction can all trigger special effects… and plenty more, causing his proficiency to skyrocket.

From the docks to the martial arts school, from the martial world to the imperial court.

Lin Sheng only wants to live quietly and safely with the help of his panel. But this chaotic age and its powerful enemies push him step by step toward the pinnacle of martial arts, the title of Martial Sage among mortals.

Wait! Why does this plot feel a little off?

Two sworn brothers who worked together and always said, “When one of us strikes it rich, we won’t forget the other,” have become, respectively, a general of the imperial court and a rebel leader.

How am I, the great sect master and Martial Sage among mortals, supposed to live that down?

Wait, something’s off again… Why is there a Five-Finger Mountain in the world of martial intent in my mind, with a monkey trapped underneath it?!
