In the year 4032 on the Human Home Planet, Shen Xing is a student at Linjiang Middle School's martial arts academy. The training room holds over two hundred students performing the Human Martial Path Basic Training Routine under Teacher Li's stern supervision. Teacher Li's voice roars like a bell, driving the students toward the Skin Tempering Realm within a two-month deadline or face expulsion. After twenty-seven days, most students have collapsed from exhaustion, but Shen Xing remains standing, earning extra Yuan Liquid rewards. Teacher Li notices Shen Xing's recent explosive progress and predicts he will break through within days.Shen Xing awakened memories of his past life half a month ago. In his previous life, he was an ordinary person from a non-martial world who built wealth through hard work. This experience sharpens his will. After training, his friend Hu An, who has already reached Skin Tempering and has a girlfriend from Bailing Academy, invites him out, but Shen Xing declines. He returns to his dormitory via public transport, reflecting on the academy planet's structure. The entire planet is composed of students under twenty-two, with four billion enrolled. Martial arts resources are scarce and competition is brutal, but Shen Xing sees it as an opportunity.In his dormitory, Shen Xing opens two packages. One contains an H-25 modified electromagnetic pistol with a silencer, capable of killing martial artists below Marrow Tempering. The other is a learning device. He uses the learning device to install a language pack for another world he has discovered. This world is accessed through a mysterious shuttle-like treasure in his consciousness. He has spent half a month gathering language and cultural data from this world by disguising himself as a beggar. The world has a medieval technological level but is rich in Yuan Qi concentration, over ten times that of the Home Planet.Teleporting to Clearwater City, Shen Xing emerges in a dark alley and walks into the streets. The city has hemp-clad people, martial artists with weapons, and occasional street fights. He heads to the Pill Pavilion, a shop that seems to monopolize cultivation resources. Inside, a shop assistant shows him Blood Spirit Pills, Origin Returning Pills, Hundred Herbs Pills, and Jade Bone Pills. Shen Xing pays with a five-tael silver coin to buy the first three types. His payment method draws attention, and he senses danger.Leaving the Pill Pavilion, Shen Xing turns into an alley where four burly men confront him. He immediately draws his electromagnetic pistol and kills all four with silenced shots. He searches their bodies, finding two pill bottles and two cowhide books. He teleports back to his dormitory on the Home Planet. Shen Xing's ultimate goal is to use the resources from this other world to advance in martial arts, starting with breaking through to the Skin Tempering Realm. He plans to continue his dual-world cultivation strategy for growth and survival.
