Transmigrating into a book and receiving a system, cannon fodder rises to power by stepping on schem

Elder Ming San was very relieved to have Gu Minglang in Xuan Qingyuan's care. His disciple's successive breakthroughs also gave him great confidence in the martial arts tournament.

Everyone was quite surprised that Chen An had entered the Profound Realm. In all their years of cultivation, they had only seen the sect leader and Gu Minglang enter this realm.

Chen An's talent wasn't particularly strong, but his outstanding performance was truly remarkable. Elder Ming San wasn't the type to keep things to himself, but he didn't make a fuss or ask any questions.

Before the martial arts tournament began, Chen An spent most of his time cultivating. After his talent improved, Chen An's cultivation speed increased significantly. With the help of the "Meridian Relaxation and Meridian Expansion Technique," he continued to expand his meridians, and the flow of spiritual energy within his body became smoother.

When he had some free time, Chen An wanted to go and thank Xuan Qingyuan. If it weren't for Xuan Qingyuan setting up a scheme to help him, it would have been impossible for him to break through two levels in a row. However, apart from taking care of Gu Minglang every day, Xuan Qingyuan avoided seeing everyone else. After being rejected so many times, Chen An put the matter aside.

The martial arts tournament is three days away, and Chen An has already done his best. He finished his training early today to prepare for rest.

Lying in bed, I heard light footsteps outside the door.

"Little cripple, come down the mountain with me, let the flying crocodile carry us, okay?" Xue Shumo pushed open the door, ran over quickly, hugged Chen An's waist, and looked up at him pitifully, pleading.

Life on the mountain was really boring, and Xue Shumo was indeed a bit pitiful without Gu Minglang's company, so Chen An agreed.

Inside the house, Fugui was sleeping on the flying crocodile.

Chen An lifted the nearly 30-pound Fu Gui down from the mountain, patted the Flying Fish Crocodile's back, and said, "I'm taking you down the mountain to play. Don't cause any trouble, understand?"

The flying crocodile opened its mouth wide, yawned, and then crawled out with its short limbs. Fugui looked up at Chen An and jumped onto the flying crocodile's back.

Fu Gui, the size of a tiger cub, stood tall and proud, looking at Chen An with an expression that said, "You're not allowed to go anywhere without me."

Xue Shumo laughed and jumped onto the flying fish crocodile, hugged Fugui, and started pinching Fugui's head.

Fu Gui had grown accustomed to being bullied by Chen An, and looking ahead with a sense of despair, he accepted his tragic fate.

The flying crocodile has grown quite a bit since it arrived. Fortunately, it can find its own food, otherwise Chen An's wallet would have been empty long ago.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, the enormous size of the Flying Fish Crocodile caused many lower-ranking individuals to avoid them, while Fu Gui rode the behemoth with great ease.

Xue Shumo took Chen An's hand and ran straight into the largest restaurant. Upon seeing them, the restaurant staff immediately invited them to the best private room.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the table was filled with rare delicacies. Chen An and Xue Shumo enjoyed the feast.

The flying crocodile lay at Chen An's feet, carrying Fu Gui on its back, and closed its eyes, waiting for the two to finish their meal.

Just as they were having a pleasant conversation, a domineering aura swept over Chen An and Xue Shumo. This aura was undoubtedly that of a Core Formation cultivator. Chen An did not intend to pay attention to this person, but he silently memorized his aura.

Xue Shumo overturned the antique dining table that the boss had used for hundreds of years, drew her sword, and rushed towards the next room. Her movements were so swift that Chen An had no chance to stop her.

From the next room, the sound of a door being kicked open came, but the other party's aura did not subside. Chen An knew that the other party was hostile and, fearing that Xue Shumo would be hurt, took out his ebony sword and chased after them.

In the luxurious private room, a fat, greasy cultivator with a bulbous nose sat in the center, with two tall, thin cultivators resembling stick insects sitting beside him.

They stared at Xue Shumo with hostile eyes, their auras completely undisguised.

After observing them for a while, Chen An confirmed that these people were cultivators from the outer sect of Zhaoning Sect. Although they did not wear any items to indicate their identity, their aura after cultivation could not be changed.

The man with the bulbous nose rubbed his nose and shouted, "Where's the boss? What's going on? Can't I even have a peaceful meal?"

Before the shopkeeper even appeared, an apologetic voice came first, "I'm so sorry, Uncle Cui, I'll take care of it right away."

Xue Shumo said disdainfully, "So you're the one who accuses others first, huh? I'm not afraid of that kind of thing at all. Just wait and see how I deal with you."

The mocking voices from the person opposite, with their bulbous nose and stick insect-like body, were extremely grating. However, Chen An noticed that Xue Shumo was crushing something in her hand as she spoke.

The shopkeeper's head had just emerged from the stairs when he fixed his gaze on Xue Shumo. On this continent, who hadn't heard of the Xue family? Anyone who wanted to live would never dare to offend the Xue family's most favored young lady.

"Gentlemen, this is an inner disciple of the Zhaoning Sect, the eldest daughter of the Xue family. There must be a misunderstanding." The shopkeeper emphasized the words "Xue family" when he spoke.

But the three people opposite them were like turtles eating a weight, stubbornly saying, "I'm eating, she's kicking the door. I don't care whose daughter she is. If we don't hear an apology today, none of us are leaving."

Chen An and Xue Shumo exchanged a glance and quickly moved aside.

A high-level cultivator dressed in a green dress rushed through the gap between the two and kicked the three of them off the restaurant.

Xue Shumo stared blankly at the unfamiliar figure for a moment, then followed Chen An to the large hole left in the wall. Looking at the three people who had fallen to the ground, she snorted coldly and jumped down.

Chen An followed the woman in green and jumped down as well.

The three men never expected that a Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear out of nowhere, and they rolled around on the ground clutching their stomachs.

Just as Chen An was about to express his gratitude, he realized that the woman in purple beside him had vanished.

Xue Shumo rolled up his sleeves and kept beating the three people who were lying on the ground.

Passersby watched Xue Shumo's actions but dared not speak. During the days that Gu Minglang had taken her down the mountain to play, everyone knew her background very well and was afraid of offending her.

After Xue Shumo vented his anger, Fugui smelled everyone around him, and the group returned to Zhaoning Sect satisfied.

On Mingsan Peak, a woman in green sat on a recliner, leisurely reading Gu Minglang's novel.

As soon as the flying crocodile landed, Fugui rushed into the room impatiently.

The woman in green closed the book, cleared her throat, and smiled when she saw the two turn around: "We meet again. My name is Si Xun."

Si Xun is at the Great Perfection of Core Formation. Although her cultivation level is not ideal, she is a genius in alchemy. If the Medicine Peak hadn't been burned hundreds of times, she wouldn't have been able to come to Elder Ming San's place.

Upon hearing the name, Chen An and Xue Shumo exclaimed, "Fourth Senior Sister?"

Si Xun nodded, his phoenix eyes looking truly handsome when he smiled. "I'm back to participate in the martial arts tournament."

Xue Shumo heard a lot about this senior sister from Gu Minglang, so she immediately went up to her and asked her to tell her about her travels down the mountain.

Si Xun closed the novel, patted Xue Shumo's head, and vividly recounted the interesting stories of exploring secret realms and upholding justice.

Chen An was initially uninterested, but after listening for a few sentences, he became engrossed.

As the sun set, Si Xun shooed his two enthusiastic junior sisters back to their house.
