"You made my best friend laugh at me just because you said, 'You're too young to do that!'" Under the moonlight, Su Yao cried out, tears in her eyes. "Lin Ye, I hope bad luck follows you for the rest of your life!"
That night, when a sudden, stabbing pain in his wrist woke Lin Ye, he saw the legendary "Ring of Misfortune," said to ruin entire families, glowing faintly on his wrist. This cursed object, dreaded throughout the martial world, had chosen him as its master because of a spiteful curse from his college girlfriend?!
Even more absurdly, the divine ability [Withered Wood Reborn] that he awakened formed a bizarre balance with the Ring of Misfortune. Every time he was struck by lightning, ambushed, or caught in a seemingly hopeless death trap, his injuries would be converted into a huge surge in cultivation. While other martial artists needed spirit medicines and secret realms, all Lin Ye needed was... to take a few more falls?
