After transmigrating to the cultivation world, Li Quan failed the civil service exam after placing second for eight years straight, and awakened the Millennia-Long Second-Place System.
From then on, Li Quan's fate was to excel at everything and come in second at everything.
At the outer sect tournament, Li Quan claimed second place with an invincible air.
The first-place winner thought to himself, “This guy is clearly much stronger than me. He must have deliberately let me take first place.”
At the alchemy competition, Li Quan had never practiced, yet still outperformed a crowd of master alchemists to take second place.
The alchemy masters marveled, “This kid's been hiding his true skill. He makes ninth-grade pills look so easy!”
When it came to physical strength, Li Quan was once again surpassed only by ancient ferocious beasts.
The ancestor of the ferocious beasts exclaimed in amazement, “This human is far too arrogant! We clashed bodies head-on, and he wasn't hurt at all, yet he says he's only second?”
How can someone narrowly lose to first place in a Foundation Establishment contest one second, then go toe-to-toe with an Immortal King the next?
The cultivation world is full of peerless geniuses. Every era has a first-place champion who rules over heaven and earth.
But the first-place champion may change with time, while the second-place title is forever. This has long been the consensus in the cultivation world.
Millions of eras later, Li Quan is still dutifully occupying second place in every field, known as the Immortal Second-Place Master.
The cultivation world's saying about him goes: “The one who's first because they're strong isn't necessarily any better than the one in second!”
