Three hundred years after the spiritual qi revival, humanity has rebuilt civilization amid the ruins overrun by demon beasts. Martial artists rule, and equipment decides who lives and dies.
Zhao Yi, a third-year high school martial arts student, awakens a "junk trait." He can't afford gene potions or spirit-powered gear, and the whole school sees him as a stepping stone destined to be eliminated.
Until the day he binds a bracelet...
[Item detected: Unknown (Damaged)]
[Binding conditions met]
[Spirit Qi Micro-Circulation Boost (Damaged Version): Slightly increases spirit qi absorption efficiency, with approximately 3% of the normal effect]
The bracelet broke, but Zhao Yi's cultivation speed improved dramatically.
It turned out the most powerful talent in the world wasn't something you were born with. It was something you took.
From then on, the claws of demon beasts, the regeneration of strange plants, the sharpness of divine weapons... Any gear he touched for more than ten hours became an instinct woven into his flesh and blood.
Others have to spend their entire fortunes just to buy one piece of divine gear. Barehanded, he is an arsenal on legs.
While his peers are still working themselves to the bone for a single B-rank piece of gear, Zhao Yi has already ventured alone into the restricted zones to hunt the beings called "calamities."
"How can you kill something a whole realm above you?"
Zhao Yi wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth and looks at the demon beast corpse at his feet, a creature two major realms above him. His voice is calm:
"Because you rely on equipment. I am the equipment."
…Fat friend… ... The opening reveals that one is special... ... Tell your fat friends what you can do... ... The protagonist has the most crotch-stretching entry, which makes him sluggish... And the spiritual energy absorption is higher than normal people... But no one goes to check for such a major anomaly... And the protagonist himself actively requested to be exposed...
