High Martial: I’m Really Not a Cao Thief

Who could have imagined that in an age of spiritual qi revival and universal high-level martial arts, a menace like Gu Chen would show up! While everyone else was frantically tempering their bodies, clearing challenges, hunting vicious beasts, and competing to cultivate, Gu Chen alone refused to play by the rules, spending every day scheming about how to pursue “pure love.” His teammates were at their wits’ end: “Gu Chen! Sun Hao is at the fifth stage of body tempering and can crush the whole field. You’re only at the first stage, so hurry up and admit defeat before you get hurt!” The next moment, Gu Chen sent his opponent flying with one punch, leaving everyone dumbfounded. “Gu Chen! The cutoff for Magic City Martial Arts University is insanely high. Don’t take a risk and apply on a whim!” Then the college entrance exam results came out, and he scored the highest in the country, stunning the entire internet. “Gu Chen! The capital’s top martial arts team is incredibly strong. Our Magic City team is bound to lose!” But instead of confronting them head-on, you went and stole their home base, driving the capital team to the brink of a breakdown and making them forfeit on the spot! “Gu Chen! We all know you’re into this sort of thing, but the Blood God Cult Leader is a strategic partner of humanity. You can’t just mess around!” Gu Chen shrugged. “Sorry, my hands were too fast. It’s already too late.” “Gu Chen! The Demon Emperor is beyond even the Grandmaster realm. Humanity can only defend itself!” What happened next was outrageous: Gu Chen went and stole the Demon Emperor’s home base too, all because he awakened an absurdly powerful, downright bizarre System that insists he pursue “pure love.” Everyone out there calls him a high-martial Cao Cao, a martial arts scoundrel, but Gu Chen looks perfectly righteous, acting like he could never do wrong: “I’ve always been an honest and upright man. I’d never do something as despicable as stealing someone else’s partner. Cao Mengde? Never heard of him. Don’t know him. Stop slandering me.”
