Synopsis

Others transmigrate into The Outcast and their System boots up in an instant, making them the strongest from the start.

Shen Jinggui transmigrated, but his System was 140 years late.

With no golden finger and only average talent, he could only painstakingly master the basic techniques of every sect, one by one: Tang Sect hidden weapons, Wudang Tai Chi, Maoshan talismans, the Golden Light Mantra... After 140 years, he had mastered them all.

In 1940, trapped in a deadly predicament at Mianshan with a demon blade hanging over his head, the System finally activated: any basic technique mastered to perfection could be "refined" to exchange for that sect's ultimate skill.

Dan Shi, the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, Threefold Reversal: each could be used once a day.

But the price was steep: once he exchanged for a technique, that skill would be stripped from him forever, never to return.

From then on, the world of extraordinary people gained a "Sect Master of a Hundred Arts." He helped the Tang Sect turn the deadly mission of "ten go, none return" into "some come back alive." He shared drinks with Wu Gensheng and witnessed the night the Eight Extraordinary Skills were born. Three generations passed in the world below the mountain. He saw all his peers off, until a package addressed to "the grandson of Zhang Xilin" was delivered to his Taoist temple.

And at last, the System laid its cards on the table: it wasn't a golden finger, but a scheme set in motion 140 years ago.
