On the Day of the Big Exam, the System Asked Me to Open the Heavenly Gate with My Sword

Xiao Ran never expected that in his previous life, he died suddenly at work while writing PPT, and in this life, he would become a poor scholar of the Zhou Dynasty - his father died young, his mother was ill, and his family was destitute, so the only way to survive was to take the imperial examination. But he couldn't even remember the "origin, inheritance, transfer and integration" of the eight-part essay. When he was about to hand in a blank paper in the provincial examination, the "Tiandao Selection System" suddenly popped up in his mind. Before the test question "On "Integrity and Sincerity" as the Foundation of Self-cultivation", four options suddenly appeared: Option A is more stable than being a scholar, Option C relies on "performance art" to make an exception, and Option D requires "using literature to enter Taoism" to use swordsmanship and gamble on a near-death counterattack. With the thought of "I'm going to die, I'll fight!", He bit his fingertips and dyed the tip of his pen, and in one stroke, the green sword shadow shot into the sky, the clouds tore apart, and the golden light shrouded his body - the literary vision shocked the whole audience. Not only did he enlighten the elementary sword intention on the spot, but he also directly locked in the provincial examination to solve the problem! A hundred taels of silver award from the imperial court came to his door, and sects such as Qingyun Sword Sect and Haoran Academy came to him one after another. However, Xiao Ran only had one idea in his mind: to use the money to cure his mother's illness first, and then to figure out what secrets this system hides and how the sword intention flowing in his meridians can help him find a different path in this troubled world. From the poor scholar who counterattacked in the examination room to the "skilled swordsman" who stirred up the world and the court, his legend began with the shadow of the sword that cut through the sky.
