Chapter 1: What’s the Enemy’s Name?

Qinglian Sect~

In a secluded yard for servant disciples.

A man dressed as an outer disciple weighed his storage bag with a satisfied expression.

“Good job, double the pay next month.”

Liu Shunyi looked bitter.

But he didn’t dare to retort.

“Understood, Senior Brother.”

The outer disciple snorted coldly and turned to leave.

After the outer disciple left, Liu Shunyi’s face fell.

If he could go back in time, he absolutely wouldn’t stay up late again.

Dying suddenly and then getting thrown into this world of cultivation was just unbearable.

In this ruthless land, strength reigns supreme—what a hellhole!

As a servant disciple, he had to do things that were even worse than what he did in his previous life as a corporate worker.

Most of the spirit stones he earned each month were exploited by the outer disciples.

As for rebellion?

Forget it.

Outer disciples were all at least Qi Refinement Fifth Stage.

He was just a pitiful Qi Refinement First Stage nobody. Rebell?

Was he looking for a death wish?

What annoyed Liu Shunyi even more was this:

Why did every reincarnator have to have a mixed spiritual root?

A mixed spiritual root was bad enough.

But could he at least get some kind of explanation for this cheat he had?

What’s the deal with this “Dao Golden Scroll” popping up in his mind?

The name sounded flashy, but how the heck was he supposed to use it?

Liu Shunyi grew angrier the more he thought about it.

“Damn it, if you don’t start working for me, I’ll request a refund!”

He complained.

But then, the “Dao Golden Scroll” finally reacted.

The scroll slowly unfurled, revealing a blank heavenly book.

Then, a golden brush fell from the sky.

With a swish, it wrote three characters on the Dao Golden Scroll.

“Shen Kaiyang!”

That’s the name of that outer disciple from earlier.

Not only was he his enemy, but the name was also shining brightly!

Liu Shunyi: “???”

What does this mean?

You write my enemy’s name, what are you implying?

After studying it for a while, Liu Shunyi still couldn’t figure it out.

He could only give up in frustration.

No choice.

Servant disciples have work to do.

Liu Shunyi rubbed his temples, picked up his shoulder pole, and went to fetch water.

Looking at the five-meter-tall empty barrel, he felt utterly annoyed.

“What? We just filled this up yesterday, and it’s already empty? Are those outer disciples making nuclear bombs or something?”

Liu Shunyi grumbled.

But what could he do?

He kept hauling water.

Such was the life of a servant.

However, Liu Shunyi seemed to notice something amazing.

Normally, after three trips to fetch water, he’d be too exhausted to move.

But today, he’d made five or six trips, and didn’t feel tired at all.

What’s going on?

After filling the barrel, he quickly checked his body.

“Huh?”

Liu Shunyi suddenly realized.

Not only did he not feel tired, he actually felt stronger!

“What’s this all about?”

Liu Shunyi was puzzled.

Suddenly, he noticed something.

The once shining characters for Shen Kaiyang on the Dao Golden Scroll were now somewhat dim.

Liu Shunyi: “???”

He couldn’t help but fall into thought.

“Could it be…”

He suddenly had a thought, but it was a bit uncertain.

To test it out, Liu Shunyi started doing push-ups.

Then did some long-distance running.

Squats.

Even broke slabs on his chest.

The result?

He felt absolutely fine, while Shen Kaiyang’s name on the Dao Golden Scroll grew dimmer and dimmer.

Not only that, but the fading glow all transferred back to him!

“Oh snap.”

Liu Shunyi figured it out.

So all my negative states are taken on by my enemy?

This cheat is ridiculously awesome!

With that in mind, Liu Shunyi suddenly had a bold idea.

“Since I don’t have to endure these negative states myself!”

Once his work was done, Liu Shunyi began exercising.

Anyway, with that outer disciple taking all the negative states for him, as long as he didn’t kill himself, he could push himself to the limit.

Of course, he wasn’t going to actually overdo it.

He kept an eye on Shen Kaiyang’s name on the Dao Golden Scroll.

He only stopped when the name dimmed.

Once it brightened again, he’d get back to training.

So he went on and on, having a splendid time.

Even his cultivation was growing at an insane rate.

Until he saw Shen Kaiyang’s name dim once more, and this time it dimmed slowly.

That’s when Liu Shunyi finally stopped.

Meanwhile, he was praying like a madman.

“Please don’t die on me. Hang in there just a bit longer, at least until I figure out how to write someone else’s name down!”
