    This is really good. I've read over 500 chapters. The most satisfying part is the rapid advancement in cultivation levels; enemies usually don't survive more than a few chapters.

He's called a lifelong waste, his spot at the provincial key school is snatched away, the vice principal forces him to drop out, and his childhood sweetheart turns to someone else! The whole school is waiting to see Gu Yechen's martial arts dream shattered and him become mediocre. But they have no idea... These six star slots are actually six boundless star rivers containing billions of star sources, where star beads of the same attribute can be absorbed and stacked without limit! Low-level star beads are infinitely stacked, and ordinary beads are used to forcibly create heaven-defying martial arts techniques: First-level Water Wave Palm → Second-level Wave Palm → Third-level Giant Wave Palm...
