Spending Ten Million a Day Got Me Rejected, So I Turned to Cultivation

Being dumped isn't embarrassing. What's embarrassing is getting dumped eighty times and still kneeling.

Liu Hong, an outcast disciple of Qingyun Mountain, arrived in Pengjiang City, a place paved with gold, clutching a yellowed marriage contract. Before his master died, he had given him one last instruction: propose to her eighty-one times. If she still refused after the eighty-first, he would be free.

The first time Liu proposed, she looked at him in front of the entire banquet hall and said two words: “In your dreams.” Then she ordered a retainer to throw him off the third floor. That night, he broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining in the rain.

He discovered that the Heartstruck Art he practiced came with a deadly condition: every time she rejected him, his cultivation surged. But each rejection also burned up spiritual energy worth ten million. Ten million each time, eight hundred million in total for all eighty-one proposals.

And so the entire cultivation world of Pengjiang witnessed a madman: by day, he took demon-slaying jobs for three thousand yuan just to get by; by night, he knelt and proposed, burning ten million each time. Everyone said he was crazy.

Then, at the Zhang family's patriarch's birthday banquet, he knelt before her in public. She laughed and said, “Keep dreaming,” then announced her wedding date with another man. That night, he broke through six levels in a row, nearing Foundation Establishment.

Later, when outside forces invaded Pengjiang and none of the city's powerful cultivators could stop them, he emerged from seclusion and subdued them with a single palm strike.

Someone asked him how he had become so strong. He replied, “Get rejected enough times, and you'll get strong too.”
