Floating Cloud Continent.

Sun Core Sect, Azure Cloud Peak, this is where the outer disciples gather.

A young man dressed in white, as pure as snow, sat cross-legged, feeling the bottleneck that he struggled to break through, sighing:

"It's been three years."

"For three whole years, I've been stuck at the Clay Bottle Realm... and still haven't broken through to the Sea Gazing Realm."

The young man in white is named Zhang Fan.

He is not from this world.

Three years ago, he crossed over to the Floating Cloud Continent by accident and became a part of the fantasy world.

However, Zhang Fan was surprised to find that he couldn't awaken any system after crossing over, even though he thought he would quickly awaken and reach the pinnacle of life.

You see, there are countless powerful beings and various schools of thought in the fantasy world.

The path of cultivation is like crossing a single-plank bridge amidst a thousand troops and horses, extremely cruel.

Without any skills to rely on, facing those powerful beings who can easily destroy the heavens and earth with a wave of their hand, Zhang Fan would die in an instant.

Without a system, let alone reaching the pinnacle of life, it's uncertain whether Zhang Fan can survive in this chaotic world.

Fortunately, he encountered an inner disciple of the Sun Core Sect who was critically injured and on the verge of death. Zhang Fan sent him back to the Sun Core Sect, and with the recommendation of that inner disciple, Zhang Fan became an outer disciple of the Sun Core Sect.

With the protection of the Sun Core Sect, Zhang Fan finally had a foothold in this chaotic world, avoiding the need to sleep rough and die in the struggles of the people below the mountain.

But good times don't last.

The Sun Core Sect has a tradition that it does not keep mediocre disciples.

If an outer disciple cannot break through to the Sea Gazing Realm within three years of joining the sect, they will be judged as mediocre and expelled from the sect by the elders.

Zhang Fan has cultivated from the early stage of the Clay Bottle Realm to the late stage in three years, belonging to the category of neither outstanding nor lagging behind.

There are plenty of people with similar talents as him below the mountain.

Now, in another month, the Sun Core Sect's sect assessment will take place.

Outer disciples who have been unable to break through to the Sea Gazing Realm for three years will all be expelled from the sect.

There are a total of 105 climbers in the same period as Zhang Fan, and more than half of them have successfully broken through to the Sea Gazing Realm.

The remaining half, including him, are estimated to fail in the sect assessment after a month.

Just as Zhang Fan was lost in thought, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Junior Brother Zhang."

The person who came was an inner disciple of the Sun Core Sect, Liang Tianxiu.

Three years ago, Liang Tianxiu went down the mountain to hunt demonic beasts but was attacked by enemies and severely injured. He was saved by Zhang Fan.

So after recommending Zhang Fan to join the Sun Core Sect, Liang Tianxiu has also been sending him pills and secret manuals for the past three years to repay the debt of saving his life.

"Senior Brother Liang, why are you here?" Zhang Fan slightly bowed in greeting.

Liang Tianxiu pressed Zhang Fan's hand and a look of sorrow appeared between his eyebrows.

He sighed and said, "Junior Brother Zhang, I have already pleaded with the Sect Master on your behalf, but unfortunately, as a mere inner disciple, I have little influence. I can't do much more for you in the matter of the sect assessment."

"You saved my life, and yet... sigh!"

At this point, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Liang Tianxiu's face.

Zhang Fan was stunned, not because of Liang Tianxiu's words.

But because suddenly, above Liang Tianxiu's head, a line of translucent small characters appeared.

[Name: Liang Tianxiu]

[Age: 20]

[Cultivation Realm: Seventh level of the Sea Gazing Realm]

[Favorability: 80 (Liang Tianxiu never forgets the debt of gratitude you owe him)]

[Luck: (With average talent, although he achieved some success in his early years, he eventually fell behind his peers in middle age.)]

[Life Script: A mediocre inner disciple of the Sun Core Sect, the highest achievement in life is becoming the top inner disciple, and a peaceful old age.]

The sudden appearance of translucent fonts in front of Zhang Fan left him a bit confused.

Could this be... his system?

"System?"

Zhang Fan silently muttered in his heart, but received no response.

But in any case, this thing could at least be considered his Goldfinger.

It seems to be something similar to a life script prompt?

"Junior Brother Zhang, I did my best, but I still couldn't keep you in the sect. As a token of my appreciation, please accept this."

Liang Tianxiu interrupted Zhang Fan's thoughts and took out a bottle of pill and a brocade pouch from his pocket, handing them to Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan accepted the pill, thanked him, and hurriedly sent Liang Tianxiu away, eager to explore the system.

In Liang Tianxiu's eyes, he thought Zhang Fan wanted to be alone because he was too disappointed, so he didn't continue to disturb Zhang Fan and left on his own.

...

After Liang Tianxiu left, Zhang Fan continued to explore his Goldfinger.

He came to the edge of a pool and looked down.

In the pool, Zhang Fan's own life script information appeared.

[Name: Zhang Fan]

[Age: Eighteen]

[Cultivation Realm: Clay Bottle Realm, Eighth Layer]

[Luck:??????]

[Life Script: "Battle Through the Heavens" cannon fodder character, expelled from the sect after a month, encounters a battle between two major sects along the way, dies in the chaos.]

[Turbulent Fate: Your life is full of ups and downs, but luckily you die young and don't suffer too much.]

A huge question mark gradually appeared on Zhang Fan's face.

"?"

"Let me thank you. Is this my Goldfinger? Hehe, it's really delightful."

Zhang Fan had a black line on his forehead.

"But what does the question mark in Luck mean?"

Zhang Fan frowned slightly and began to ponder.

"Why isn't my Luck like Liang Tianxiu's, with a more specific introduction? Could it be... my fate is in my own hands?!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Now that he had obtained his Goldfinger, the most urgent task was naturally to... make good use of it.

"I can see other people's Luck, so..."

Zhang Fan went straight to the place with the most outer disciples - the martial arts training ground.

On the training ground, dozens of outer disciples were practicing.

Zhang Fan scanned the crowd and observed their life scripts one by one.

He looked at many people in a row, but the results were not satisfactory.

Until... he looked at an ordinary-looking disciple.

This disciple was being punished to chop firewood because he had offended an inner disciple.

[Name: Xiao Huo]

[Age: Seventeen]

[Cultivation Realm: Clay Bottle Realm, Fifth Layer]

[Luck: Exceptionally talented (due to the ring on his hand, his early cultivation was not smooth, but he will soon rise)]

[Life Script: "Battle Through the Heavens" protagonist, expelled from the sect after a month, encounters a battle between two major sects along the way, summons the ring on his hand to break through the encirclement, and comprehends the power of the strange fire in the midst of the battle, paving the way for smooth cultivation...]

Without hesitation, Zhang Fan rushed up to help Xiao Huo chop firewood.
