Lin Chen, an abandoned outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect.
Three years ago, at the spiritual-root assessment, he was declared to have a “false spiritual root,” one that makes it almost impossible to draw in spiritual energy. After three years of cultivation, he is still stuck at the first level of Qi Refining. His fellow disciples mock him, servants bully him, and even the junior sister he grew up with quietly distances herself. In the end, he is sent to guard the sect’s abandoned herb fields on the back mountain, becoming the sect’s most forgettable joke. But nobody knows that on a stormy night, a glowing screen suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness. “Myriad Worlds Face-Slapping System, binding successful.”
“Novice mission: Humiliate the first person who mocked you. Reward: Nine Revolutions Chaos Art.” From that day on, Lin Chen discovers that nothing feels better than grinding into the dirt, one by one, the people who once looked down on him.
The harder the face-slapping, the more comeback points he earns. The more comeback points he earns, the more techniques, pills, and divine abilities he can summon at will.
At the outer sect tournament, he crushes the genius Zhao Wuji. Amid the inner sect’s intrigues, his sword leaves the aloof senior sister Su Muxue stunned. When disaster strikes the sect, he alone withstands the iron hooves of the Heaven Devouring Demon Sect. A false spiritual root?
That is because this world is unworthy of his true spiritual root.
