"Hiss, it hurts!"
A headache made Ye Yu wake up instantly.
Opening his eyes and looking at the unfamiliar environment around him, Ye Yu was completely confused.
He clearly remembered that he slept in the dormitory, but this was not a familiar dormitory now.
"Where is this?"
"I'm not dreaming!"
Suddenly, a series of strange memories flooded into Ye Yu's mind like a tide.
At this moment, Ye Yu understood that he had traveled through time and space to a strange world.
This world does not have overwhelming high technology, but only a martial arts civilization that has grown to its peak. Everyone in this world practices martial arts just to climb to the peak of martial arts and dominate the world.
The martial arts realms of Tianxuan Continent are from low to high: martial apprentice, martial artist, martial master, martial king, martial emperor, ~~martial master, martial master~~, martial saint... Each major realm is divided into nine minor realms, from the first grade to the ninth grade.
The name of this body is also Ye Yu, and he is the young master of the city lord of Songyang City.
Yesterday, because his confidant servant Xiao Dezi told him that a fourth-grade spiritual medicine, the Bingling Flower, had appeared in the Tianduan Mountains outside the city.
After hearing this, Ye Yu wanted to pick this Bingling Flower and give it to his fiancée Liu Ruyan.
In order to prevent the news from leaking, Ye Yu only brought Xiao Dezi alone into the Tianduan Mountains in the dark.
Poor Ye Yu, this fool, didn't know that this was a trap.
Not to mention that the Tianduan Mountains are full of monsters and dangers, a mere first-grade martial apprentice with only a third-grade martial apprentice Xiao Dezi dared to wander around the Tianduan Mountains. It's practically begging for death.
Even if the Bingling Flower really appeared in the Tianduan Mountains, the major families in Songyang City had already flocked there. How could it be possible that Ye Yu, who was about to die, would be the one to hear the news?
The result is predictable. Before he even encountered any monsters, he was ambushed by Wang Chong of the Wang Family, the head of the four major families in Songyang City, and Ye Yu was decapitated.
Fortunately, the strong smell of blood did not attract monsters to carve up his body on the spot.
This gave Ye Yu's soul time to enter the body and survive.
Uh!
What a catastrophic start!
Although his arrival brought a glimmer of life to this body, his injuries had not recovered.
He was now unable to move. If no one found him, he might only be left exposed in the wilderness.
Wait!
As someone who had transmigrated, didn't he get a cheat ability?
He tried calling out: "System? Are you there? Grandpa? Are you there? Grandma? Are you there?"
However, there was no response.
Oh my God!
This wasn't just a catastrophic start, this was a hellish one!
Sure enough, what they write in novels is all lies. There are not so many chosen ones. He was just an ordinary passerby, an NPC, killed the moment he crossed over.
Alas!
Just when Ye Yu was desperate and ready to close his eyes and wait for death—
"Ding! The strongest system in the world is binding: 1%, 2%, 3%..."
This mechanical voice was like music from heaven. Ye Yu snapped out of his despair and jolted upright despite his near-fatal injuries.
Sure enough, the system may be late, but it always arrives.
What kind of transmigrator would he be without a cheat ability?
The strongest system in the world, the name alone was impressive. Ye Yu could already imagine the day when he would lounge in luxury and rule the world.
"97%, 98%, 99%..."
Seeing the binding process was almost complete, Ye Yu could barely contain his excitement.
An abrupt mechanical sound rang out: "Wait, something seems wrong. There's a program error, wrong host found!"
This brought Ye Yu's excitement to a screeching halt.
"Fuck!"
Ye Yu was stunned. It was already at the last moment. How could it stop just like that? You can't do this!
What would he do if the system left?
"The strongest system in the world is unbinding."
Then 99% of the binding progress plummeted in an instant like a roller coaster drop.
Ye Yu shouted: "System, don't even think about leaving! You brought me to this world without a word, and now you want to dump me with a single sentence about finding the wrong host? I'm telling you, it doesn't work like that, you owe me an explanation."
Hearing this accusation, the system seemed to acknowledge it was in the wrong.
"In view of the mistakes made by this system, I will offer you a compensation package. From now on, we will be even, and we shall never meet again."
With that, the system shot up into the sky, and a nine-colored orb of light appeared before Ye Yu.
"Fine. A cheat ability is better than none."
Ye Yu reached out and touched the nine-colored orb. A slow warmth spread through him, and then a terrifying power surged into his body.
A line of text slowly emerged in Ye Yu's mind: Compensation Package, Invincible Cultivation (Alchemy and Refining Knowledge Included).
Then, this terrifying power flowed into the meridians throughout his whole body. Ye Yu's injuries recovered instantly, and he felt utterly reborn.
Ye Yu stood up, feeling the power flowing through him, and could hardly believe it. A moment ago he had been a wretched passerby on the verge of death, and now he stood at the very peak of martial arts.
Invincible!
Invincible from the start!
Who could stop him?
Ye Yu laughed loudly. No matter how powerful your martial arts or how extraordinary your physique, you would kneel before him with a single strike!
Ye Yu looked up at the sky. This entire world seemed to be under his control. Even the heavens trembled faintly. So this is what it feels like to hold the sun and moon in one's hands and pluck the stars from the sky. Unmatched under heaven!
Suddenly, a trembling rose from the depths of his soul, a last wisp of the original body's lingering will had not yet faded.
"Don't worry, I will avenge you and live well in your place." It seemed that upon hearing this, the original soul finally let go and faded peacefully.
From now on, he was Ye Yu.
As for those who had attacked the original body, he would not let a single one of them go.
The traitor Xiao Dezi would face the worst of it.
Only the original body, that fool, could hear Xiao Dezi let slip the news of the Bingling Flower and rush off to the Tianduan Mountains without a second thought.
Did he really think he was qualified to get his hands on such a treasure?
Well, those troubles would be dealt with later.
With a sweep of his sleeves, the filth and blood vanished from his body. Ye Yu walked out of the Tianduan Mountains, calm and unhurried.
The surrounding monsters seemed to faintly sense the powerful aura Ye Yu was unconsciously radiating, and fled in all directions.

Songyang City, City Lord's Mansion.
A middle-aged man with a distinguished appearance was furious: "You useless lot, you even lost Yu'er. What good are any of you!"
A large group of servants and housekeepers knelt on the ground, trembling.
This middle-aged man was Ye Hao, the city lord of Songyang City, the only seventh-grade martial artist in all of Songyang City, and Ye Yu's father.
The city lord had always been approachable and rarely lost his temper, but his son was his lifeblood and his one true limit. Anyone who dared harm the young master would have the city lord to answer to. His fury now made that perfectly clear.
"Find him, go find him!" Ye Hao roared.
"My lord, the heads of the Wang and Liu families are here," a servant said, stepping in from the door and trembling despite Ye Hao's rage.
"Not now, can't you see I'm busy!"
"Brother Ye seems to be in a bad mood today." Wang Long, the head of the Wang family, and Liu Xi, the head of the Liu family, led a group of people into the inner hall of the City Lord's Mansion before Ye Hao had even finished speaking.
At the front was an ordinary-looking old man, but the powerful aura flowing from him made everyone present wary.
One look at his bearing made it clear he was no friend.
