Get Stronger by Playing Jiahao? My Swordsman Is Unbeatable

(A feel-good power fantasy adapted from Fantasy Westward Journey, A Chinese Odyssey, and the characters and story of the original Journey to the West. Follow along!)

After transmigrating, Lin Jian becomes the most shameful disciple of the Great Tang Government Office. He fails the basic examination twice in a row, and the entire sect treats him as a laughingstock. Luckily, he awakens the Jiahao Invincible System, whose unique mechanics turn the rules of cultivation upside down: being talked about, looked down on, or provoked earns him Heroic Spirit Points, which he can exchange for cultivation techniques, sword arts, and cultivation!

A burly fighter shows up to challenge him, and the entire sect bets on his crushing defeat. Only Ying Nuxia stakes a huge sum on him winning. As everyone takes turns mocking him, Lin Jian earns enough Heroic Spirit Points to master the basic Iron-Splitting Sword Technique with a single stroke and grasp the deadly Chain Thrust. He easily overwhelms his opponent in the arena.

His master, Cheng Yaojin, witnesses his heaven-defying strength with his own eyes and promotes him straight to a prodigy of the inner sect. Once the sect's bottom-ranked good-for-nothing, Lin Jian uses everyone's prejudice and ridicule to rise to the pinnacle of the sword path and sweep aside all the heroes of the Great Tang!
