Liu Tianyou slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a simple, unadorned, and completely unfamiliar room. The room was filled with a faint scent of pine, the bed was slightly messy, with a futon placed in the center, and an old painting of "A Horse Achieves Success" hanging on the wall. The ticking of the clock was clearly audible, indicating that it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

A torrent of memories surged forth like a tidal wave, carrying fragments that did not belong to him, assaulting his consciousness.

"I...I've...time traveled?" he murmured to himself, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

In this land known as the Dragon Kingdom, Mount Tianyi, east of the City of Heaven and Earth, is shrouded in the shadow of rampant evil beasts. This is an era of declining martial arts and advanced technology; the once-glorious martial arts now possess only the power for self-defense. The invasion of evil beasts from beyond the borders has plunged humanity into an unprecedented crisis.

And he, the original owner of this body, was actually the owner of a martial arts school on Tianyi Mountain, renowned yet with a tragic fate. Tianyi Mountain, this remote county town, is a sacred place in the hearts of many martial arts masters, and the first choice for grandmasters to establish their own schools.

However, the rampage of the evil beasts shattered the tranquility of this land. Human power seemed so insignificant before them; only firearms could contend with them. Even grandmaster-level powerhouses could hardly withstand the attacks of the lowest-level evil beasts.

"Hmph, a dignified junior master, actually... actually defeated by a young upstart in his own martial arts school, it's an utter disgrace!" Liu Tianyou was filled with indignation. In his memory, he was a young prodigy who had risen to fame for slaying a level one evil beast, but unfortunately, he was defeated by a junior from the Eight Directions School in his own home by despicable means, and was completely defeated within ten moves.

The Eight Directions Martial Arts Academy, under the guise of martial arts friendship, actually harbored malicious intentions and poisoned him with a colorless and odorless poison—the Blood-Melting Gu. This poison silently eroded his meridians, rendering him powerless in the competition and turning him into a laughingstock.

The people from Bafangguan even recorded this crushing defeat and spread it widely. In an instant, Changshengzhai's reputation was ruined, and Liu Tianyou's explanations were like an ant trying to shake a tree, unable to reverse the decline. His name became synonymous with ridicule on the internet, like those absurd jokes from his past life, which were talked about by countless people.

Faced with such a predicament, Liu Tianyou could only manage a bitter smile. Was he, who had transmigrated here, destined to continue sinking into the abyss? How unjust is Heaven!

Just as he was filled with resentment, a sudden voice exploded in his mind, shaking him like a thunderclap.

"Ding! Host meets binding requirements. Super Mythical Inheritance System successfully bound!"

"System? This... this is the legendary system? The Mythical Inheritance System?" Liu Tianyou's heart raced instantly. This thing that only existed in fantasy had actually come to him?

He asked again incredulously, "System, what are your functions?"

The system responded quickly and clearly: "Blood-Melting Gu poison has been detected in the host's body, and the meridians are severely damaged."

Blood-Melting Gu! These three words pierced his heart like a sharp blade, filling him with uncontrollable rage. So, the villains of the Eight Directions Pavilion were truly ruthless, daring to use even such a forbidden drug!

"How dare you lay such a cruel hand on me! This is utterly lawless!" Liu Tianyou clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with resolute determination. "However, now that I have the system's assistance, one day I will make you pay a hundredfold for everything you've done!"

He knew this was not merely a vow of revenge, but a declaration of war against his own destiny. In this new world full of challenges and opportunities, he would use the power of the system as wings to revitalize the martial arts school, carry on the legend, and make those who once looked down on him take notice!

[System Notification: The current host has thirty inheritors under his command]

[Reporting to the host, the new player benefit pack has now been unlocked.]

[Congratulations, host! Your newbie gift pack contains a priceless treasure—a Restoration Pill—and the ultimate martial art, Heavenly Dragon Eight Trigrams Continuous Palm.]

"A Restoration Elixir? The Heavenly Dragon Eight Trigrams Continuous Palm?" Liu Tianyou muttered to himself, deeply shocked by this unexpected gift. He didn't know the purpose of the Restoration Elixir, but the name "Heavenly Dragon Eight Trigrams Continuous Palm" seemed familiar, arousing a sense of curiosity and anticipation in his heart.

"The Eight Trigrams of the Heavenly Dragon? No, it's the Eight Trigrams of the Heavenly Dragon. Could there be some connection between the two?" He wondered to himself, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips. So this system actually possessed such extraordinary abilities, allowing him to inherit martial arts techniques—this was something he had always dreamed of!

"If I can master this Heavenly Dragon Eight Trigrams Continuous Palm, let alone the martial arts world within a hundred miles, even in the entire martial arts world, who would dare to compete with me?" Liu Tianyou's heart surged with excitement, and his confidence increased.

[System Explanation: The Restoration Elixir is a sacred medicine for healing injuries. It can help martial artists recover quickly from both internal and external injuries, stabilize their foundation, and even enhance their internal energy cultivation.]

【The Heavenly Dragon Eight Trigrams Continuous Palm technique originates from a mysterious sect and consists of thirteen forms. Each form is driven by profound internal energy, simplifying complexity and using unadorned moves to break through all the superficial martial arts techniques of the world.】

Liu Tianyou slammed his hand on the table, his excitement overflowing, and he couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!" With this Heavenly Dragon Eight Trigrams Continuous Palm Technique, even the most ferocious evil beast would be reduced to dust under his palm!

Just as he was immersed in joy, the door was suddenly struck hard and flung open.

“Master, it’s…it’s time to eat…” A young boy timidly peeked in, only to be met with Liu Tianyou’s beaming face and animated gestures. The atmosphere instantly froze.

A deathly silence fell, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.

The boy's face paled. He gently placed the plate he was holding on the table beside him, hurriedly retreated, and quietly closed the door. But a moment later, the door was suddenly pulled open again, and the boy's face was covered with tears.

"Master! Master, please don't do this! Even if you lose the duel, don't drive yourself crazy! Waaah..." The boy sobbed uncontrollably, clearly terrified by Liu Tianyou's unusual behavior.

Liu Tianyou felt a mix of emotions, a sense of speechlessness and amusement, but mostly a warm feeling welled up inside him. In this cold and indifferent world, there were still people who cared about him so much.

"You little brat, why are you crying? I'm just practicing a secret technique, don't make a fuss." He cleared his throat, feigning authority, but his eyes were full of tenderness. "Remember, no one can tell anyone about this, otherwise..."

He paused deliberately, scrutinizing Chen Yunxiao with piercing eyes, "Do you still want those four years' tuition fees?"

Seeing Liu Tianyou suddenly return to normal, Chen Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, then blinked his innocent big eyes, secretly making plans in his mind. His mother had repeatedly told him to take back his tuition fees, but he knew Liu Tianyou's temper; what he had swallowed wouldn't easily come back.

"I...I'm prepared to stay here for another three years," Chen Yunxiao said in a low voice, but his tone was firm.

Lately, he has increasingly felt the extraordinary nature of the martial arts he has learned. The significant improvement in his strength and agility has made him less concerned about the rumors and gossip from the outside world. He believes that his master would never be easily defeated by that unknown junior.

"What are you standing there for? Go practice your skills!" Liu Tianyou urged, feigning sternness.

However, Chen Yunxiao suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining with trust: "Master! I believe in you! I believe you are definitely not someone who can't beat the Eight Directions Pavilion!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Tianyou scrutinized Chen Yunxiao again, a satisfied smile playing on his lips: "That's right, the reason they were able to win was because they used underhanded methods against their master. Otherwise, how could they be a match for me?"

Chen Yunxiao slowly lowered his eyes, clenched his fists, and said in a firm and deep voice, "Master, please give me a year. I swear to avenge the martial arts school!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Tianyou smiled faintly, his tone relaxed and confident: "It's alright, disciple, you don't need to act on my behalf. I will avenge this personally. When that time comes, I will definitely take their heads with my own hands." After he finished speaking, a chilling aura suddenly filled his words, sending shivers down everyone's spine.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yunxiao's body trembled slightly, and his gaze involuntarily turned to Liu Tianyou. He saw that the smile on his master's lips contained a chilling ruthlessness, and a cold wind seemed to blow behind him, making him shiver.

"Master! Something terrible has happened! Another uninvited guest has come to provoke us!" A hurried shout suddenly came from outside the door, breaking the tense atmosphere inside.

Liu Tianyou and Chen Yunxiao froze almost simultaneously. Then, Liu Tianyou's smile widened, revealing both anticipation for the upcoming challenge and a formidable killing intent. "Hmph, you've come at the perfect time. I'd like to see who's so arrogant as to repeatedly provoke my martial arts school!" His words were filled with undeniable authority and determination.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yunxiao felt a surge of mixed emotions, a mixture of excitement and unease. He knew all too well that if his master became enraged, the consequences would be unimaginable. But at the same time, he was also thrilled to witness firsthand how his master would defend the martial arts school's honor with swift and decisive action.
