Chen Mo was an extra at Hengdian in his previous life. After transmigrating, he’s still the number-one good-for-nothing in the cultivation world.
The night before the Spiritual Root Assessment Ceremony, Chen Mo awakens a Copy System and leaves everyone stunned.
An evil spirit breaks free from its seal, putting the entire sect in mortal danger.
When everyone is at a loss, Chen Mo’s occupational instincts kick in.

Chen Mo sighs and hands him a copy of An Actor’s Self-Cultivation. “You want to learn? Pay up and join my crash course in acting.”
High-energy scene:
In the Swordheart Illusion, Chen Mo faces a “perfect copy” formed from his own inner demons and is beaten without the slightest chance to fight back.

The phantom is struck as if by lightning, instantly lets down its guard, and cries, “Time to clock out!”
Chen Mo turns around and strikes with his sword. “Occupational instincts really are terrifying...”
