In the Ming Dynasty, I Awakened as a Prodigy from the Start

Chen Chaoyuan lives in the martial world of the Great Ming dynasty, where he awakens the Reputation System. The System grants him the talent "Genius Beyond Compare" from the start. From "Newcomer to the Martial World" to "Rising Star of the Martial Arts World," and finally to "Grandmaster of an Era." Every time his reputation rises by one level, the System rewards him with ten years of skill. "I'll fight my way to the very top, one step at a time!" He'll make his name throughout the martial world and earn the respect of all under heaven! "As the ancients said, cultivate yourself, put your family in order, and govern the state. Self-cultivation comes first. It means you should take care of yourself before anything else. Other people's business has nothing to do with you." Chen Chaoyuan stared at him, dumbfounded. What kind of twisted logic was that? "Getting by in the martial world is no different from getting by in the official world. You have to learn to go with the flow." Chen Chaoyuan retorted, "Go with the flow for too long, and the light inside you goes out. All you're left with is a body covered in dust!" "This world is filthy to begin with. Wouldn't being covered in dust make you right at home?" "That's not what I damn well mean!!!" I shape the heavens; I seek my own success. Just get it done! I picked flowers south of the Yangtze, for spring breezes and red candles. A romantic soul like mine, ever enamored with heroines~
