The Moonwind Sect's training grounds were filled with buzzing disciples. Today was the Quarterly Entry Trial, where new recruits sparred to earn cultivation resources, or—more excitingly—get humiliated in front of everyone.
Standing dead center, arms behind his back, was Xiao Tian, the infamous trash disciple.
He looked… smug.
"Why is he here?" "Didn't he fall off a cliff?" "I heard he tried to seduce Elder Sister Ziyao. With no cultivation!"
Xiao Tian yawned, clearly unimpressed. "Wow, the gossip level here is higher than my charm stat—which is saying a lot."
From the stands, Sect Master Gu watched with narrowed eyes. "That boy… he has no Qi. Why is he smiling like that?"
Beside him, Elder Yao whispered, "He requested a match. Apparently, he said—and I quote—'Let me show you what raw talent and devilish good looks can do.'"
"…What?"

Match 1: Xiao Tian vs. Lin Feng
Xiao Tian strolled into the center of the arena. Across from him stood Lin Feng, glowing with faint spiritual energy.
"Heh. Don't worry, Xiao Tian. I'll only break your legs." Lin Feng grinned cruelly, releasing his Qi.
[Cultivation Realm: 1st Level – Qi Condensation, Layer 5]
The crowd oooh'd.
Xiao Tian tilted his head. "What was that sparkle? Did you swallow a firefly?"
Lin Feng lunged.

BOOM!
The audience gasped as Lin Feng's palm attack thundered toward Xiao Tian's chest—only for Xiao Tian to trip, fall flat, and accidentally dodge the strike.
Lin Feng stumbled. Xiao Tian instinctively kicked upward.
Right into Lin Feng's jewels.
CRUNCH.
Lin Feng howled, dropping like a sack of potatoes. The arena went silent.
"...Victory goes to Xiao Tian?"
"...That's legal??"
Xiao Tian stood, dusted his robe, and smirked at the crowd. "Never underestimate a well-placed strike. Especially when your opponent's strongest point is his weakest."

End Scene: Xiao Tian's Epiphany
As the sect debated whether Xiao Tian was lucky or insane, he sat on his rooftop, holding a cold dumpling and a hotter grin.
"First win, zero Qi. One broken groin. Not bad."
His fingers brushed over his chest—and he felt it. A faint spark.
His Dantian… was waking up.
The seal on his power had begun to crack.
"Heh… Looks like it's time to start cultivating again. Let's see how long this world can keep up."
