Imagine being reincarnated in a magical world with martial artists capable of severing mountains, and dividing seas. A world where gods exist, and are deemed supreme and like to cause chaos. If one has a system bent on tempting then to become the biggest devil, to enjoy most of its benefits. The story follows Wang Lu's reincarnation and his journey in a new world as he struggles to retain what he deems as good about himself while taking benefits from the system. Wang Lu: "Villains die old, good people die faster! I'm such a good person, is this seeking death?" System: "??? ... You? A good person? Then everyone in this place is a saint!"

The words of the old woman really did hurt him in the slightly, and he looked at her helplessly. The good thing was that she still waved her arms causing his body to be lifted in the air.
"Huh! Martial artists can also play like this!" But she didn't know that he became very excited when he felt some wind passing by him, and lifting him up. He knew it wasn't wind, but even so, he forgot about her words and actions, just lost in thought for a moment, before he felt his body falling into it the medical cauldron.
His still body then felt hot streams of energy flowing through his skin into his body. The month this happened, he wasn't shocked, as the cold Pond had the same effect, except it was on bones. The hot medical power kept invading his body, and then a cold power from within the bones counterattacked outwards.
"What the hell? This is the effect of the Cold Pond? No! It doesn't seem to be the case at all! He felt it, the cold energy from the bones wasn't being released at all, it was just because the hot medical power invaded the body that the cold on the bones was affected.
But he was already certain the coldness from the cold pond served a purpose in the Body Forging stage and it had started to showcase it's use.
Perhaps he was just too weak for the body to bear all the coldness, but once it was necessary it would be unleashed without any stop. But that was not something to think about, because he could feel other than the hot streams of energy seeping into his muscles, his stiff body could actually move. He thus sat himself properly in the medical bath.
Within less than an hour, his body was fully recovered, it didn't seem like someone that had lost the ability to move at all.
His face showed excitement the more he felt the obvious changes that were happening to him.
"What the hell? If this is my life now? Won't I be considered a genius! But then again wait, something seems off." He turned to look at the old woman.
Wang Lu asked, "By the way are there any good techniques that grandma wants me to practice?"
The moment he asked this, he could see that she was looking at him with a peculiar look, and he had a shiver down his spine. She really had not just come to deliver medical hearbs for his practice, rather she was supposed to pass on a technique for body tempering after he got started on the Indestructible Demon body.
He didn't continue to ask as he saw she wasn't very much in the mood to chat. She had closed her eyes, clearly meditating, or not in the mood for a chat.
When his body was fully back to the optimum state, he forced himself out of the cauldron. It was very hot, and thus painful, but not harmful.
His figure started to attempt the movements and he didn't stop, but wanted to see how far he could go. To his shock he actually repeated the three movements and only four were left. But he felt difficulty in attempting the fourth, as such he kept repeating the first three movements.
As much as he had become dedicated to the three, his mind was still on shook, "This is abnormal, the medical power in body is still working and allowing me to actually practice the first three movements so easily. What kind of cheat can anyone need. Medical baths are the real cheat!" Even though he didn't say this words out loud he already had this belief about the body forging stage.
Even though he still felt painful, he could complete three movements and this might be shocking to him.
After continuous practice, he just felt his body was exhausted after close to an hour and he couldn't help but take a break.
Looking at the medical bath that had become clear, Wang Lu suddenly realized even if he went in again, the effect might not be the same. But he ignored this, and felt just how huge the strain from practicing martial arts was.
"As long as the body can move! Its best to push myself and achieve the seven movements perfectly, and I can then use the chance to go and collect a few more copies of the martial arts in the clan."
"Why? Want to have another medical bath? After that only one will remain!" He heard the sound from the woman seated with eyes closed.
"Not for now!" Knowing the importance of this baths how could he waste a good opportunity casually. Wang Lu was very sober. He wanted to not only train in one technique, but numerous and the advantages of this medical baths might be useful to him.
His figure rested longer than he practiced. But his body was slowly getting used to the three movements.
He could feel that he had become a masochist, after all he was grinning as he exercised even the old woman would look at him suspiciously. But he ignored her, it was not like he had not seen her look, but he was a shameless person.
Not only did he stop, but he was thinking that everytime he felt pain, his strength was increasing by a small margin. In his mind he was clearly trying to hypnotize himself into believing this. He might not have succeeded, but at least his situation become better with the passage of time.
He was getting used to it, as such the woman felt he had special hobbies.
But she didn't dwell on it. What she didn't know was that he was still thinking about practicing body forging martial arts until it couldn't bring him any effects to stop.
He was not going to foolishly just learn them, after all he knew that some martial arts we're almost the same in effect during body tempering. Practicing them would not be beneficial to him in any way.
But even so, he already knew that with this medical bath, he should be able to complete the seven movements in less than a month. At that time, he should have entered the human solder stage. It was also advised to only practice other techniques after you got started in one, and this could be considered the case.
"I wonder how that little guy Xingyue is doing? Does he also have this cheat?" He was clearly taking as his gaze lingered on the medical liquid in the Cauldron.
