You sighed: the martial world teems with extraordinary talents, and your own cultivation is still insufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other’s lightness skill was also worthy of note, yet no matter how fast he flew, he could not outpace your three-zhang sword qi. You felt irritated: the Three Yuan Returning Qi Scripture does not rely on internal qi for dominance, yet now your power has grown so immense that each strike unleashes sword qi several zhang long—this fails to showcase the true refinement of your sword art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You couldn’t help but sigh: who could have known that the unassuming Northern Ice Pearl in Black Eagle Master’s possession was actually a thousand-year Earth Pearl?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, you visited your benefactor, Black Eagle Master, and learned these two bandits were Earth Walker and Wind Wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Black Eagle Master’s recollection, these two had once lured the Black Horse Gang into an ambush, waiting until their enemies were exhausted before launching a sudden strike, nearly killing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the Black Horse Gang—they knew the battle formation that merged a hundred men into one. Had they not been novices, poorly trained, and left a flaw in the northwest, they would have perished there then. Black Eagle Master sighed: guiding you onto the path of cultivation was the greatest achievement of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reward for slaying bandits who plagued the region: thirty days of cultivation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Quest: (Completed!)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Dou Changsheng rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually checked the [Beautiful Life System]; after viewing it this time, a look of sudden understanding appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now understood why every quest always showed as completed—the future’s timeline moved out of sync with his own; what seemed like one night might have been months or years in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, once a quest appeared, it quickly shifted from incomplete to completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng reread the quest details carefully. This lucky Dou Changsheng truly deserved his name—he’d stolen the fortune of countless brothers. While he struggled desperately to survive here, the other had already received a divine starting hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began his journey with a renowned master and, after minimal effort, married a daughter of a powerful clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he soared to the heavens, entered the Human Rankings, and contended with the prodigies of the four nations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your current greatest enemy? To this lucky Dou Changsheng, it’s merely a matter of one more sword strike or one less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng’s expression turned sorrowful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his good fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally forcing himself to ignore the showy, lucky Dou Changsheng, he turned his focus to Earth Walker and Wind Wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two nearly killed Black Eagle Master and Tang He—so they might be your enemies on this path. But you couldn’t be certain: was this the route taken by the swordsmaster, or by Black Eagle Master? You didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, the swordsmaster’s path did not end in death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since lucky Dou Changsheng drew his sword, and Black Eagle Master saved Dou Changsheng, he would never let the swordsmaster be killed by Wang Xiong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they still split into two groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this time you followed the future path taken by Black Eagle Master and his group, you’d face Earth Walker and Wind Wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng muttered the names twice, then rose, drew his waist sword, and began practicing himself—more preparation was always better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, Dou Changsheng wiped sweat from his brow, gnawed on some dried rations, drank water, retrieved his horse, and mounted to continue his journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his thoughts lingered on Black Eagle Master: Jianmen Pass was optional before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he feared he had no choice but to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This quest’s information was extremely valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thousand-year Earth Pearl—he’d heard of it before; it was a legendary heavenly treasure that appeared repeatedly in myths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No place lacks stories of poor boys marrying wealthy beauties and ascending to the peak of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple village boy accidentally swallowed a thousand-year Earth Pearl, gained immense internal qi, entered the martial world, and became a revered hero—a legend of the Jianghu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless similar tales existed: gaining immortal pills, divine weapons, or a master—but the golden key was often the thousand-year Earth Pearl; its appearance rate was too high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no help for it: minimal side effects, immense power, and it concealed its nature—only the destined could recognize it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, Dou Changsheng accepted reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the future Dou Changsheng, this lucky brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the other Dou Changshengs lived hard lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at least he was better off: though cursed with misfortune, he still had the [Beautiful Life System]. Other brothers had nothing at all—how much worse off they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comparing himself to them, a sense of happiness and superiority arose; Dou Changsheng felt much better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately claimed the quest reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As thirty days of cultivation flowed in, Dou Changsheng clearly felt his primordial internal qi begin to grow steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, primordial internal qi had been confined to his dantian, spilling slightly into the meridians—within tolerable limits. Now, with another month’s worth added, he could no longer contain it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, he would have exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since this came from the System, there was no danger. As the primordial internal qi surged higher, spilling beyond the dantian, it filled the meridians until reaching their limit—then it automatically began to force open new pathways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Post-heaven cultivators refine by opening the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the Twelve Regular Meridians; each opened meridian increases internal qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Twelve Regular Meridians fall into two categories—hand and foot—each divided into yin and yang. Three yang and three yin per category, totaling twelve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first targeted the Three Hand Yang Meridians. The primordial internal qi, uncontrolled by Dou Changsheng, spontaneously surged through the barriers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first meridian opened instantly; the second did the same. In moments, all Three Hand Yang Meridians were fully opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then something happened: as the meridians opened, primordial internal qi surged again—and began forcing open the next barriers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When all settled, the Three Hand Yang and Three Hand Yin Meridians were all opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half of the Twelve Regular Meridians were now open—only the Three Foot Yang and Three Foot Yin remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was passive, unintentional opening. Had Dou Changsheng actively attempted it, the effect would have been even greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, opening these six meridians was far from his limit. There was no choice: ordinary cultivators used post-heaven internal qi; Dou Changsheng used primordial internal qi—and his primordial qi was of exceptionally high quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng suppressed his restless urge. He wasn’t an idiot: these six meridians were gifted by the System—no risk whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he attempted it himself, lacking the method, he’d easily damage his meridians and regret it for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he was mounted on a horse—bouncing violently, unsuitable for cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the increase from opening meridians was minor; fully opening the Twelve Regular Meridians would only add one or two days’ worth of internal qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, the gap was that vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every cultivator experienced massive power surges upon opening meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Dou Changsheng was not among them. The reason was simple: future Dou Changsheng’s primordial internal qi was so abundant that a month of his cultivation equaled a year of Dou Changsheng’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now, knowing future Dou Changsheng possessed the thousand-year Earth Pearl, did Dou Changsheng finally understand why his single month of cultivation produced three-cun sword qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d assumed all primordial cultivators were this powerful, always unleashing sword qi at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he recalled: when Wang Xiong saw three-cun sword qi, he was terrified; Zhao Manren and Ai Haikè fought without any sword qi leaving their weapons—their primordial qi remained tightly contained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only he himself, no matter the situation, always launched three-cun sword qi first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d never felt his internal qi running dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meridian opening, then, was the System’s response: his primordial internal qi had become too vast to compress further—it had to open new meridians to accommodate itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d misunderstood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already very strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng had never clearly understood his own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, knowing of the thousand-year Earth Pearl, he confirmed: his primordial internal qi was, even among primordial cultivators, quite formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This explained why Black Eagle Master never doubted whether he’d opened meridians, and why Ai Haikè recognized him and immediately retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such vast primordial internal qi, you expect me to believe you don’t know sword art? Try fooling a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For five straight days, all was calm. Dou Changsheng deliberately avoided villages and towns—these places surely harbored enemy spies; better not provoke them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t watched those past-life films for nothing: stay at an inn, and the waiter slips you a drugged tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how powerful you are, endless enemies—waiters, passersby, merchants—anyone could be a threat. Impossible to guard against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better to avoid them entirely than live in constant dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Dou Changsheng planned to sleep on the road again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he considered this, he saw dark shapes at the far end of the plain—his gaze sharpened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly saw a group riding black horses, raising curved blades, charging toward him from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their attire and the black horses, three words immediately came to Dou Changsheng’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Horse Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this path truly led to Earth Walker and Wind Wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Horse Gang numbered nearly a hundred. Mounted on black horses, they thundered forward, their war cries echoing like an army of ten thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bathed in the crimson glow of sunset, they swept toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading the charge was a silver-armored knight—tall, imposing, his helmet hiding cold, merciless eyes, radiating cruel, bloody killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he charged, the knight slowly unsheathed his blade—two chi four cun long, heavy in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Horse Gang was merely a martial sect, yet now they bore the aura of a third of a military force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this the battle formation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemy, desperate to plunder military funds, had resorted to such extremes—giving the Black Horse Gang such forbidden items. Didn’t they fear being burned by their own fire?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng narrowed his eyes, one hand gripping his sword hilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, his blood boiled; strength and courage surged into him like a flood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no martial duel—it was battlefield slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In narrow paths, the brave prevail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng did not retreat—he squeezed his thighs against the horse’s flanks. The horse, in pain, charged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not backward—forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His inner heroism surged higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the enemy’s weaknesses, their flaws, and his own primordial internal qi was overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng’s confidence soared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Single-handedly charging an army best reveals true courage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single thrust, and primordial internal qi surged forth, spilling from the tip of the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pure white sword light instantly pierced past three inches, reaching six inches, then continued rising—within moments, a full foot of sword aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fearless Sword Art is the sword of courage; when one’s heart overflows with boldness, unafraid of life or death, the sword art grows stronger naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the sword aura, all who stood before it were laid low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the Black Horse Gang’s men was instantly pierced through the chest and fell from his horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second strike—a wild, reckless sweep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword aura grew dim, no longer bright, showing signs of crumbling inch by inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strike was not the Fearless Sword Art, so its power dropped significantly—but it was still enough. A foot of sword qi severed all in its path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether curved blades or flesh, all were split cleanly in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obstacles ahead were swept clean away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Horse Gang’s charging formation, once unstoppable, was torn open from the northwest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third strike—another thrust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fearless Sword Art was no longer clumsy; the flow of primordial internal qi had become smooth and effortless, consumption dropped again, and power rose slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemy was this weak?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng’s confidence multiplied a hundredfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sword art was naturally stronger now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In moments, he had cut clean through the Black Horse Gang—no one could withstand a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining members of the Black Horse Gang scattered in panic, failing to regroup or attempt another attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who had brutally cut through their charge had already shattered their courage; where was the will left to block him? They were merely a gang—not an army—just a rabble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng’s blood boiled, his body burning hot from this bloody slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to look back—and saw half a silver armor plate on the ground: the severed torso of a corpse. He’d been so caught up in the frenzy of hacking that he hadn’t noticed when the enemy leader had been killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it. Not worth dwelling on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fearless Sword Art was merely an ordinary primordial sword technique, but its purity was exceptional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng admitted: this sword art was incredibly satisfying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But its flaw was severe—if fear crept in, it became useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And how many, facing a strong foe, are truly without fear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short: a perfect tool for crushing weaklings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far off, the Earth Walker observed the battlefield, watching the figure riding ahead on horseback, his shadow stretching longer and longer, as if divine or demonic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three-foot-long, rusted sword glowed brilliantly under the blood-red sunset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight sent chills through the heart, making the whole body tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, the Earth Walker’s lips twitched, finally uttering a few words: “This Dou Changsheng… something’s off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stronger than when he killed Wang Xiong last time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Wind Wing spoke in a low voice: “Not stronger—he simply hid too deeply. Last time wasn’t his limit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s not even twenty. Where did he get such vast primordial internal qi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Three Yuan Return Qi Scripture isn’t known for its abundance of internal qi, is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind Wing glanced at the Earth Walker. “We prepared for days—completely wasted effort. He broke through us like paper.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our plan has failed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do we still go ahead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Walker gritted his teeth. “We must go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, Dou Changsheng will reach Jianmen Pass.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t Ai Haikè nearby?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Call him. We’ll launch a night raid together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I refuse to believe three primordial martial artists can’t defeat one man with a surprise attack.”\u003C\u002Fp>",2410,"2026-06-20T23:35:01.027Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f3c42a297f59116c2782a987438d9427128e6e4df6f678b792cff8408e445617","system-you-ve-got-the-wrong-person-chapter-10","system-you-ve-got-the-wrong-person-chapter-8",470,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-you-ve-got-the-wrong-person-cover.jpg"]
