The story breaks the rules. The protagonist, who has the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, was originally a strong man in the world of cultivation, but he was suddenly involved in modern campus life. In the strange intertwining of cultivation and campus daily life, many jokes were made and a series of adventures were triggered. The protagonist was extremely powerful, but he was "acclimated" to campus rules and interpersonal interactions. This contrast made the characters very vivid.
