On Blue Star, one night in 2002 in Hu City.

"At midnight, thunder and rain raged outside."

Luo Tian was sitting on the sofa at home, with an enormous 85-inch LED screen playing.

--A live broadcast of the Football World Cup finals.

At that moment, Luo Tian nervously clutched a football lottery ticket in his left hand.

In his right hand, he held a two-liter bottle of cola from 1982.

"After suddenly gulping down more than half the bottle, his body began to tremble."

Then he fell backward onto the sofa, his head tipping back, foaming at the mouth and losing consciousness.

Who knew how much time had passed!!!

As his consciousness slowly returned...

"Hiss..."

"Where am I?" Luo Tian opened his eyes slightly.

"Fuck, where's my football lottery ticket?"

"Didn't I win the jackpot?"

"Ah, my head hurts so much!"

Luo Tian held his head, then looked around, only to be greeted by a scene of crumbling walls and ruins.

"What the hell?"

"Where's my luxurious 250-square-meter villa, passed down through three generations of my family"??

Luo Tian rubbed his eyes and stared hard at his surroundings!

"What the fuck??"

He discovered that he was in a narrow, dark alley.

Dilapidated houses stood on the verge of collapse all around him, and an indescribable stench of piss filled the air.

He tried to stand, only to discover that his body was unusually weak, as though he had gone hungry for days.

"I don't have a scrap of strength!"

What kind of godforsaken place was this?

"Let me think. What happened?"

Luo Tian struggled to recall what had happened before, and fragmented memories surfaced in his mind.

"I've transmigrated into a beggar??"

"Just as Luo Tian was sinking into bewilderment, a clamor reached his ears."

Luo Tian looked up and saw a group of children in ragged clothes fighting over food not far away.

"The owner of this body was called Ye Tianqi?"

He was an orphan! He had no earth-shattering background.

This place was within the Heavenly Star Dynasty, on a land called the Profound Heaven Continent.

He had wandered alone from a remote town toward Fengluo City, only to faint along the way!

"Fuck," this melodramatic plot...

Just then, an aged voice rang out near Luo Tian: "Young man, you're awake?"

Luo Tian looked toward the voice and saw a white-haired old man standing nearby, looking at him.

The old man's face was covered in wrinkles, his eyes slightly narrowed, with a strange smile on his face and a mouthful of large yellow teeth.

"Sir, where is this? How did I get here?" Luo Tian struggled into a sitting position and asked the old man.

Hearing this, the old man gave a wicked smile and said, "This is a slum in Fengluo City.

I found you by the roadside outside the city and brought you back.

"You were unconscious for days. You've finally woken up."

I thought you wouldn't survive...

Thank you! Sir! Luo Tian hurriedly bowed and voiced his gratitude!

"Sir, do you know martial arts?" Luo Tian then asked.

"Martial arts?"

"What's that?"

Do you mean martial artists?

"Yes, yes! How are the realms of martial artists divided?" Tian Luo hurriedly continued asking.

I'm not sure. I've only heard that powerhouses can soar through the skies and burrow through the earth...

Destroy stars with a raised hand!!!

But I can't do any of that.

"Still, I have a secret manual. Do you want it?" Another strange smile appeared on the old man's face.

"What secret manual? I want it, I want it!" Delighted, Luo Tian hurriedly nodded as he spoke.

"Mm, take it!" The old man slowly pulled a yellowed ancient book from inside his clothes and handed it to Luo Tian.

"Haha, want to know the truth?"

Only after you become a powerhouse on this continent will you know.

"Go and search diligently, then?"

"Yes, yes, you're right, sir." Just as Luo Tian nodded, the old man vanished without a trace.

"Fuck, how did that old man disappear?"

"Shit, have I seen another ghost?" Frightened, Luo Tian hurriedly backed away several steps and shouted.

Just then, a short, sleazy-looking beggar ran over and pointed at Luo Tian: You, hand over what you're holding!

"Hand over your fucking ass!!!" At those words, strength surged into Luo Tian from who knew where, as though he had been injected with chicken blood.

He lifted a foot and kicked the beggar several zhang backward.

Bang!!

The beggar crashed straight to the ground. Frightened, he ran away at once!!

"Hmph!!" Luo Tian snorted coldly as he watched the beggar flee!!

"Become a powerhouse on this continent?"

"Why did that old man seem like a charlatan!!" Luo Tian said, shaking his head.

Then Luo Tian slowly opened the ancient book in his hands, revealing diagrams of movements.

Luo Tian widened his eyes in disbelief and looked: "What's this? Fuck!"

Luo Tian flipped through a few more pages. They were all movements from male-female martial arts films, thirty-six forms plus seventy-two forms!

"Old man, you dared to fool me?" Luo Tian cursed furiously.

I just got here, and someone's already made a fool of me...

Didn't all the transmigrating protagonists in novels come with systems?

"Mutt [System], where are you?"

Give me Great Emperor cultivation!

I'm going to beat that old man to death!

Coming...
