A modern office worker in the final stages of chronic procrastination transmigrates into the son of a beast hunter in a high-martial world.
His family is so poor they can barely scrape by. Every month, the Golden River Gang takes five taels for “offerings to the Beast God,” and their savings will last only three months. He also has a five-hundred-jin white tiger for a brother.
He wanted to lie flat, but his awakened destiny, “Sail Against the Current, or Be Swept Back,” drives him into a corner:
If he doesn't practice, his cultivation regresses.
If he stops, he's finished.
From then on, Qingniu Mountain has a new “madman”: practicing while eating, practicing while walking, practicing even while nodding off.
Others cultivate to become stronger. He cultivates to stay alive.
Others rely on talent and pills. He relies on the despairing certainty that if he doesn't practice, he'll die.
At last, at the Heroes of the Realm Tournament, he uses his “never-ending” stamina to wear down every genius to death.
When everyone asks why he works so hard, he answers with utter resignation:
“You think I want to? I die if I don't practice. Why don't you try it?”
