[A sword cultivator with an intense drive to succeed * her bonded sword spirit]
After working diligently for twenty years, Lu Zhaoxing had finally paid off the debts left by her unreliable master and senior brothers and sisters. She was lying on a sunny beach, enjoying life, when she closed her eyes after a single glass of juice and transmigrated.
Lu Zhaoxing sat on a boulder at the entrance to an ethereal sect, grinding her back teeth. Which heartless bastard had dumped her here?! Where was her beach?! Where was her sunshine?!
Just a few days after transmigrating, Lu Zhaoxing could already feel the same work-weary aura she'd had in her previous life. Back then, she had diligently taken bounty jobs and killed people. This time, she'd have to diligently kill ghosts instead!
She refused to accept it!
Why had every other cultivator awakened a spirit-granting skill, while all she had was a battered old sword?
After spending months cultivating with her sword, Lu Zhaoxing was approached by a black cat that could talk.
"As long as you become the best ghost hunter in this world, you can return to your original world."
The moment she heard that she could go back, Lu Zhaoxing perked right up. Why hadn't it said so sooner?!
Taking her sword, Lu Zhaoxing sneaked away from her master and senior brothers and sisters and headed down the mountain to begin her trials.
While the other cultivators used their spirit-granting skills to slay demons and ghosts, Lu Zhaoxing had to rely on her battered old sword.
Lu Zhaoxing: Did nobody mention that her sword would be this hard to use?!
She deliberately left her sword at the inn and went out to buy a new one. But when she returned with it, she was stunned.
A row of demons and ghosts lay inside the room, while a handsome man in black robes stood there, stepping on one of the ghosts.
The man walked toward Lu Zhaoxing, one step at a time. "Didn't we agree that I would be your only sword? Why do you need other swords?"
The new sword in her arms was crushed in the man's grip. He pinned Lu Zhaoxing in a corner. Nobody mentioned that her sword could turn into a person, too!
Thesis: Slay demons, monsters, and ghosts
