by Walk on, Forget, and Go with the Wind
Li Wen stands under the scorching sun on Bluestone Third Middle School's athletic field, a familiar disappointment settling in. His physical body level is a paltry 6.0, far below the 7.0 minimum needed to even apply to a Martial Dao university. He's an outsider in Class 21, a "special channels" group for those who bought their way in, and his family scraped together 50,000 Huaxia Coins to secure his spot. This world is not kind to the weak; Demon Beasts run rampant, humanity is on the decline, and limited resources are ruthlessly funneled to the talented. Li Wen, despite two and a half years of relentless training, has hit a wall. His parents' hopeful faces, etched with the weariness of working themselves to the bone, haunt him. Without the Martial Dao, he faces a life at the bottom of society, just like them. Hard work, he's learned, isn't always enough when you lack money for vital qi and blood supplements, which are distributed by rank, creating an insurmountable gap.
His eighteenth birthday arrives, a quiet affair with a small cake from his loving, struggling parents. As he closes his eyes to make a wish, a flood of memories from a past life slams into his mind. He's been reborn, and with the memories comes a game-like panel, offering him a choice of professions. Without hesitation, he selects "Scholar." In his past life's game, Scholar was a late-game powerhouse, but here, its core skills—"Absolute Focus" and "Permanent Certification"—are an immediate, heaven-defying cheat. Absolute Focus grants an incredible boost to concentration and comprehension, while Permanent Certification ensures he never forgets anything he truly understands. This isn't just a level-up; it's a fundamental shift in his reality, offering a path to overcome his resource-starved limitations and seize a future he could only dream of moments before.
After eighteen years, he had finally awakened the memories of his past life.
High Martial: I Grind Professions
Li Wen, a lone figure in a class of the privileged, faces the stark reality of his physical body level 6.0, a score that bars him from Martial Dao universities. His parents' meager savings afford him only three Grade-1 Qi and Blood Potions a month, a pittance compared to his wealthier classmates' five to ten. His current cultivation technique, the Splitting Blade Golden Killing Skill, is inefficient for him due to poor comprehension, wasting precious qi and blood. Desperate, he activates his newly acquired Scholar class's "Absolute Focus" skill while cultivating. The change is immediate and profound: his qi and blood circulation becomes more than twice as smooth, consumption drops, and overall efficiency skyrockets by several times. The next morning, his physical level jumps from 6.0 to 6.1, and his Cultivation Technique proficiency rises from 80 to 87/100. He realizes that "Absolute Focus" directly enhances comprehension, the true bottleneck in martial arts. He also discovers that Scholar EXP is gained by learning, giving him a visible path to power. This initial taste of amplified progress ignites a burning ambition to rapidly level up his Scholar class, aiming for the "Pioneer" achievement that promises a second occupation.
Li Wen's Scholar class cheat, particularly "Absolute Focus," instantly breaks his cultivation bottleneck, confirming a path to overcome resource limitations.
With his mind sharpened by the fusion of two souls and the passive effects of his Scholar class, Li Wen's practice of the Tiger Saber Skill transforms dramatically. His clumsy, forceful movements gain fluidity and "intent," evolving at a visible speed. His Martial Dao teacher, Wang Hu, who had always appreciated Li Wen's diligence despite his perceived lack of talent, notices this "monstrous" transformation. Wang Hu's initial astonishment melts into profound gratification, leading him to believe Li Wen has "Awakened." This shift in perception is crucial, as Wang Hu privately views Li Wen as a "diamond in the rough." Li Wen's saber skill rapidly advances to "Greater Mastery" (0/100). Soon after, news of the "Flying Star Class" spreads: an elite group for the top sixty students in the grade, offering "insanely good" benefits like free Qi and Blood Potions and Super Martial Artist instructors. This opportunity directly addresses Li Wen's critical resource deficiency. He immediately sets his sights on securing a spot, recognizing it as his only shortcut to escaping financial shackles and acquiring massive cultivation resources.
Li Wen's rapid skill transformation earns teacher recognition, and the Flying Star Class offers a critical resource solution for his poverty-stricken cultivation.
Li Wen dedicates himself to grinding Scholar experience, consistently earning 36 EXP for six hours of diligent study. He reaches Scholar Level 2, boosting his "Absolute Focus" comprehension bonus from 10% to 20%, and making its activation more discreet. He confidently applies for the Flying Star Class, a move that baffles his classmates but earns a solemn nod of "high hopes" from Teacher Wang Hu. With his enhanced comprehension and years of accumulated practice, Li Wen targets the "Great Perfection" realm for his Advanced Bladesmanship, which is stuck at 99/100. His intense training, fueled by Lv. 2 Absolute Focus, quickly draws attention. Classmates, including Xue Jun, the class's number one, are stunned by his "monstrous" progress, acknowledging he's on the verge of Perfection in just seven days. Teacher Wang Hu is visibly excited, seeing Li Wen as a "hidden dragon" whose success could bring him personal rewards. Li Wen achieves the "Perfection Realm" in Tiger Saber Skill, a monumental power-revelation that validates his "Awakening" and solidifies his standing.
Li Wen's Scholar Level 2 and "Absolute Focus" drive him to achieve Perfection in his Advanced Saber Skill, publicly validating his rapid growth and raising teacher expectations.
Teacher Wang Hu immediately capitalizes on Li Wen's breakthrough, taking him to the school library's "Top-Tier Technique Room." There, Li Wen's foundational techniques are analyzed, and he selects the Rainbow Light Saber Skill, boasting an unparalleled 99.9% compatibility. He gains three days of access to virtual training recordings. With his Scholar class now at Lv. 3 (granting a 30% comprehension boost from "Absolute Focus") and the "Permanent Certification" passive ensuring perfect memory, Li Wen rapidly absorbs the sixty-four complex forms of the top-tier skill. However, his personal triumph is shadowed by a growing family crisis. He discovers his father, Li Hong, is secretly suffering from a serious illness, its symptoms masked by forced smiles and suppressed coughs. Li Wen recognizes this as "the sickness of poverty," understanding that his family lacks the resources for proper treatment. This emotional gut-punch intensifies his drive. He strategically plans his limited Qi and Blood Potions for maximum efficiency and uses his academic strengths, scoring 142 on a math mock test (third in class) using "Absolute Focus" and "Permanent Certification," earning 50 Scholar EXP and a future scholarship. By tirelessly drilling the Rainbow Light Saber Skill under Lv. 3 Absolute Focus, Li Wen pushes through the final, most challenging forms, achieving "Initiate 1/100" in the top-tier skill in just over two days.
Li Wen acquires a top-tier saber skill using his cheat, but his father's hidden illness intensifies his fight for resources and university placement.

These abilities drastically boost his comprehension and learning speed, allowing him to rapidly advance his Martial Dao skills and academic performance, despite his family's financial struggles. He is driven by a fierce desire to escape poverty and secure his family's future, especially after discovering his father's hidden illness. His primary goal is to enter the elite "Flying Star Class" to gain access to crucial cultivation resources.
Li Hong is Li Wen's devoted father, who works tirelessly at a factory to support his family and fund his son's Martial Dao education, even if it means depleting their meager savings. He is a pillar of strength, constantly encouraging Li Wen. However, he secretly suffers from a serious illness, hiding his violent coughs and exhaustion from his son to avoid burdening him.
