Qing Yang Town's Strongest, Starting at the Lesser Yuan Dan Realm!

"I never thought I'd actually transmigrated."

Lin Family Back Mountain.

Liu Yuan lay atop a massive boulder, filled with emotion.

The sky was still the same sky.

The clouds were still the same clouds.

But the air was filled with the refreshing scent of grass and trees, along with a pure energy that could seep into his Limbs and Bones.

Everything was incredibly real.

So real that he could no longer deceive himself.

One day ago, he, Liu Yuan, an ordinary high school graduate, had mysteriously transmigrated.

When he regained consciousness, he had been lying on the Lin Family Back Mountain.

The first person to find him had been a boy carrying a medicine basket on his back.

His skin was dark, and his gaze was clear and resolute.

Lin Dong.

After Lin Dong brought him home, Liu Yuan heard several familiar names.

"Qing Yang Town."

"Lin Family."

"Lei Family."

A shocking realization exploded in his mind.

This was the world of Wu Dong Qian Kun!

Faced with the questions from Lin Dong's family, Liu Yuan could not tell them the truth.

"I'm from another world, and you're all just characters from a novel?"

If he dared say that, wouldn't they take him for a lunatic?

In his desperation, he chose the most classic excuse.

Amnesia.

He clutched his head, put on a pained expression, and claimed that he had forgotten everything.

He only remembered his name: Liu Yuan.

Fortunately, Lin Dong's family were all good people.

Lin Dong's father, Lin Xiao, had internal injuries, yet his will remained unyielding.

His mother, Liu Yan, was gentle and kind.

Seeing Liu Yuan's strange clothes and genuinely bewildered expression, they took pity on him.

What threat could a lone boy with amnesia possibly pose?

So, they temporarily took Liu Yuan in.

They let him live with Lin Dong.

A day was enough for Liu Yuan to calm down.

He began seriously considering his situation.

Yet the more he thought, the more lost he became.

He knew perfectly well what he was capable of.

To put it bluntly, he was just an ordinary person from Earth.

He had grown up in peaceful times, in a moderately well-off family, and in eighteen years, he had never fought anyone.

As for his physique, it was below average.

Someone like him, arriving in a Law of the Jungle world like Wu Dong Qian Kun?

Just thinking about it made Liu Yuan's scalp tingle.

Without strength, there was no dignity.

There was not even the right to survive!

The future Great Yan Dynasty would be filled with geniuses, with Monsters running rampant.

Lin Dong would rise to prominence through heaven-defying fortune, unyielding willpower, and the mysterious Ancestral Stone.

But what about him, Liu Yuan?

What did he have?

"Sigh..."

Liu Yuan sighed helplessly and sat up from the boulder.

He casually plucked a blade of grass and held it between his teeth, his eyes filled with uncertainty.

"If only I had a system!"

"Isn't that how novels always go? Transmigrators come with systems, and with a 'ding,' they soar straight to the top!"

"Divine Skill Manuals and Miraculous Pills and Elixirs, enough to grab until your hands go numb!"

Half of those words were self-mockery, while the other half came from his deepest desires.

In this cruel world, a cheat was the only way out he could think of.

However.

The instant his words fell—

A crisp, cold, emotionless mechanical voice boomed through the depths of his mind!

[Ding!]

Liu Yuan's entire body suddenly stiffened!

The grass stem in his mouth fell to the ground with a soft plop.

His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

An auditory hallucination?

[Detected that the Host has set foot on the first map of this world. The All-Map Strongest System is now activated!]

[Binding Host: Liu Yuan...]

[Binding successful! The system is at your service!]

A string of notification chimes followed one after another!

They were incomparably clear!

This was definitely not an illusion!

After a brief moment of stillness, Liu Yuan's heart began pounding wildly!

It felt as though his blood had been ignited in an instant!

An overwhelming surge of joy rushed to his head, making him nearly leap into the air!

"Th-there really is a system?!"

Even his voice trembled with excitement.

"Holy shit! I'm saved! I'm saved!"

Suppressing the urge to howl at the sky, he eagerly muttered in his heart.

"System, hurry! Explain your functions!"

[In response to the Host, this system is the "All-Map Strongest System."]

The system's voice sounded again.

Liu Yuan listened carefully.

A moment later, the joy on his face became even more intense, and the corners of his mouth nearly stretched to his ears.

This system was utterly heaven-defying!

With this system, every time he set foot on a new map in the future, he could directly become the strongest person on that map!

"Strongest" applied in every aspect!

Cultivation realm!

Spiritual Power!

Rune Master attainments!

Martial Arts grade!

Cultivation Technique level!

Weapons and treasures!

Based on the strongest figures in every category on that map, the system would grant him a massive, surpassing enhancement!

Even more outrageously, the more strong people there were on a map, and the stronger they were, the greater the boost he received and the greater the extent to which he surpassed them!

Of course, such a heaven-defying ability came with restrictions.

First.

The map had to be an area personally reached and "lit up" by the Child of Fortune of this world—Lin Dong.

This meant that his path to becoming stronger would be closely tied to Lin Dong's footsteps.

Second. Non-native powerhouses from outside the current map would not be included in the real-time combat strength calculation.

For example, if Lin Lang Tian suddenly arrived in Qing Yang Town, Liu Yuan's strength would not instantly surge to surpass his.

Because Lin Lang Tian did not belong to the "Qing Yang Town" map.

Besides that, there was an additional explanation that made Liu Yuan's heart race.

If Lin Dong obtained a world-defying divine object like an Ancestral Symbol in the future, then as a beneficiary, Liu Yuan would receive even more generous and exceptional special rewards!

"This system... is incredible!"

Liu Yuan was immensely excited.

"It was practically tailor-made for me!"

"Following the rules and cultivating miserably? Too troublesome! That doesn't fit my image!"

"We post-2000s kids are all about efficiency!"

The smile on Liu Yuan's face was radiant, and all his previous confusion and unease vanished.

They were replaced by unprecedented confidence and high spirits.

"Isn't there a saying? When you're out in the world, what matters is your background and your connections!"

"I, Liu Yuan, have neither background nor connections!"

"But I have cheats!"

The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and he even began humming a little tune.

This feeling was simply too damn good!

"Right!"

Liu Yuan quickly calmed down.

"The map I'm on now is Qing Yang Town, right?"

He began considering the immediate practical issue.

"Based on the current point in the Original work, Lin Dong probably hasn't discovered the Ancestral Stone yet."

"Then Qing Yang Town's strongest people... should be Lin Zhentian and Lei Bao."

Liu Yuan tried hard to recall the details of the Original work.

Before the Hunting Tournament, Qing Yang Town's strongest figures were publicly known to be at the Heavenly Origin Realm Late Stage.

They were only one step away from condensing an Origin Pellet.

"Heavenly Origin Realm Late Stage..."

Liu Yuan stroked his chin, anticipation gleaming in his eyes.

"Then how far will the system enhance me?"

As if answering his question, the system's voice boomed through his mind again!

A vast and pure energy emerged from within his body out of nowhere, wildly washing over and transforming his Limbs and Bones!

[Ding!]

[Map "Qing Yang Town" confirmed! Strength evaluation in progress...]

[Detected Qing Yang Town's current strongest cultivators: Lin Zhentian, Lei Bao.]

[Realm: Heavenly Origin Realm Late Stage.]

[According to system rules, the Host's strength will receive a surpassing enhancement!]

[Strength enhancement in progress...]

[Congratulations, Host. Your realm has advanced to: Lesser Yuan Dan Realm (Nine-Star Origin Core)!]

Boom!

A terrifying aura far surpassing the Heavenly Origin Realm flashed from Liu Yuan's body!

The Yuan Power within him completed an astonishing transformation from gaseous to semi-solid in an instant!

Within his Dantian!

An Origin Pellet the size of a longan, shining with dazzling radiance, had already condensed into form!

Nine mysterious star patterns slowly flowed across its surface!

And that was not all!

[Detected Qing Yang Town's current strongest Martial Arts as Fourth-Grade Martial Arts.]

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained one Fifth-grade martial art!]

[Additionally awarded at random: three Fourth-Grade Martial Arts, five Third-Grade Martial Arts, and ten Second-grade Martial Art techniques!]

[Detected that there are currently no Rune Masters in Qing Yang Town.]

[The Host cannot receive enhancements related to Spiritual Power or Rune Master rank this time.]

[Detected Qing Yang Town's current most outstanding Cultivation Technique as a Third-Rate Cultivation Technique.]

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully obtained one Second-Rate Cultivation Technique!]

[Furthermore, as a reward for activating the system and opening a new map for the first time, a beginner's gift pack will be issued to the Host!]

[Congratulations, Host, on obtaining: 10,000 Yang Yuan Stones!]

[Congratulations, Host, on obtaining: one Mysterious Iron Medicine Cauldron!]

[Congratulations, Host, on obtaining: ten random pill recipes!]

[Congratulations, Host, on obtaining...]

A string of system notifications echoed endlessly in Liu Yuan's mind like heavenly music.

He could clearly feel the earth-shaking changes in his body!

His once unremarkable physical body had been transformed with the system's help. His meridians had widened, his bones had grown tougher, and every movement contained explosive power!

As for the massive rewards, they lay quietly within the virtual storage space created by the system.

"Lesser Yuan Dan Realm... Nine-Star Origin Core?!"

Liu Yuan's eyes snapped open, brilliant light bursting from them!

He slowly clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying power within him—as though he could shatter a mountain with one punch. His face was filled with shock and wild delight.

"Did... did I really break through?"

Liu Yuan was overjoyed.

He was just about to find somewhere to properly test the strength of Qing Yang Town's number one expert.

But at that moment—

A faint beast roar filled with savage violence, accompanied by a maiden's panicked cries for help, drifted over intermittently on the mountain wind.

"Help... save me!"

The voice was clear and youthful, but the terror within it was all too real.

Liu Yuan froze for a moment.

Then he listened carefully, his expression growing increasingly grave.

That voice... he knew it too well!

It was the maiden who had timidly hidden behind Liu Yan yesterday, watching him with a pair of pure, wide eyes.

Lin Dong's younger sister.

Lin Qingtan!

"That voice... is it Qing Tan?"

Liu Yuan suddenly realized.

He remembered Qing Tan saying this morning that she was going to gather herbs. Could she have encountered a Monster Beast?

Although the Lin Family's Back Mountain was regularly cleared out, and one generally would not encounter Monster Beasts as long as they did not venture too deep...

There were always exceptions!

He no longer cared about testing his newly gained power. His expression instantly turned incomparably serious.

"Not good!"

"Go save her!"
