The protagonist transmigrates to the world of cultivation, diligently seeks a master and practices cultivation, and dreams of becoming a long-lived, carefree slacker.
What's so bad about being a cultivator? You get sick less often and live longer. Mom won't have to worry about him staying up late and losing his hair anymore!
But on his seventeenth birthday, he discovers that he can see health bars above people's heads.
He stares at the familiar green bars divided into segments above his senior brothers' and sisters' heads, the kind commonly seen in online games, and nearly smashes the birthday present in his hands to pieces.
Then his notoriously unlucky Second Senior Sister trips right in front of him, and her health bar instantly drops by a third.
The protagonist: "..." This is ridiculous.

All the young geniuses in the cultivation world must take part in the examination tournament. This year's examination is much harder than in previous years, and the candidates are all stuck at the final stage.
They can't even find the great demon in the secret realm, let alone earn its recognition!
Only the protagonist has been sitting stiffly on a gigantic boulder for a long time.
Can someone tell him why this enormous rock under his butt has a health bar!!!
"..."
The next day, the cultivation world's famous slacker protagonist walks out with the secret realm's legacy: the great demon itself.
-
Immortals and demons have always been at odds, and a war between their peoples breaks out every few centuries.
After an investigation, the cultivators join forces and corner a demon spy who had been disguised as a human and infiltrating the immortal sect for years.
The demon spy argues, "War is imminent. Are you really going to kill one of your own? I'm a righteous cultivator!"
"..."
The protagonist looks at the bright red health bar practically in his face and punches without a word. "You audacious fiend! Your name is red, and you still want to argue!"
#Whatever it is, kill it as soon as it shows its face. If it's red, hit it.
The pairing is undecided for now, but I'm leaning toward that mountain-sized demon (What an undignified description, hey!)
A lighthearted story with a fun premise, sweet and satisfying, one-on-one, happy ending.
Theme: A keen eye is the real skill.
