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 two books he picked up where for body forging as for why he didn't pick any martial arts, it was obvious. He didn't have any chance, as martial arts could only be selected after one reached the human commander stage. But the martial arts selected as that stage are the lowest level, and only after going to the Human general stage does one get in touch with stronger martial arts.
The training of martial arts is what the clan pays attention to the most. Only those that can reach far in their martial arts have a chance at Breaking through beyond the Body forging stage.
He thought he could experience some drama like what he read in some of the novels from his previous life when an elder takes the chance to advise him against the body forging skills he had chosen, but he suddenly realized he was thinking too much.
The Body forging techniques might not even be worth anything in the Wang clan. Such being the case, no one would care about his actions. The Wang clan had strong foundation, and anything below the level of master wouldn't attract any attention, especially among the younger generation. Even though some talents had showed up among the younger generation in the Body forging stage, the important figures in the clan didn't even react. It was clearly not something worth their attention.
With his two copies of body forging techniques he walked hurriedly towards Xingyue's residence, but upon arrival, he could see it was empty.
"Did he give up already? Or has he already gone to another residence?" He had a hard time believing that Wang Xingyue had given up on martial arts, thus only another explanation was possible, he moved. But all this was not within his consideration for the moment.
"Since this guy is not present, better go back and focus on becoming stronger." He thought as he moved away.
He was certain within the Wang Clan, Xingyue was safe, as such threw away most of the distracting thoughts and turned towards his own residence. Since it had just been a week, everyone was still either working hard, or their parents putting pressure on them to practice. The old woman that bolied medical herbs for him three times a day.
Today he didn't see her presence, but didn't dwell on it. After arriving in the residence, he put the two scrolls on the floor and started by looking at them seriously. The method present was also a bunch of complicated movement. They might appear simple in the eyes of those that had yet to practice any body forging skills. But to Wang Lu, the skills were complicated.
Counting then all, they reached close to 84 movements. He had to remember them all and be capable of performing them. What was different from the Indestructible Demon Body was that he had to practice this Technique in the cold pool.
Since that was the case, he had to grasp at at least more than a quarter of the movements. He would then train slowly, he didn't plan on rushing this two techniques as he had to also train deligently in the Indestructible Demon Body daily, and it would take some time to completely reach the limit of this stage.
He just needed to continue practicing it and soak in medical baths and his physique would continue to become stronger in the Human Soldier stage.
When he was just concentrating on the scroll if the Comprehensive Tai Bone records he suddenly felt some movement. Turning his head, who else could it be if not his mother.
He rushed foward and called out, "Mom! Why are you here? I thought you went into seclusion!"
"You brat! What do you mean why I'm I here? Of course I came to visit you. Why? Are you disappointed? Should this old lady leave?" She kept teasing him and he had a helpless look on his face.
Seeing that look, Qin Zhu suddenly felt very amused and happy.
"Guess what mother brought you this time?" Without even waiting for him to react, she had already brought out a bundle of books.
He could see that it was the Drunk Daoist' Travel Records but the cover or this book was simply different. That was not important, as he saw something else, it was a book, but had not seen it before.
"What! Are you moved?" She asked with a smirk and he could only play along.
Seeing her expression, he couldn't help but salute, "Thank you mother!Long live mother!"
She was very happy with the way her son acted, even now he was able to make her laugh with how nice his words sound. He was actually treating her like some empress. Not bad!
"Okay! Take it! By the way you only have four years left. By the time your thirteen birthday arrives, the Wang clan will be conducting trials to decide the distribution of resources better practice seriously and not make your father loose face!" She spoke as she was ready to leave.
"Huh! Why didn't you say anything about making you lose face?" He asked as he looked at her departing figure.
"Right! You shouldn't make me loose face! Otherwise I won't be giving you gifts next time we meet." She spoke as her figure Vanished from his sight.
"Sigh! I'm just too weak! I can't even see how she vanished." He thought to himself as he carried the bundle in this house and put them on his bed.
"I currently don't have time to read this records. Martial arts is the most important, perhaps after I can't continue to practice, I can take some time to read. But at the moment, I should keep my priorities straight." His figure moved back and sat before the Comprehensive Tai Bone Records.
What he didn't know was that two figures were standing in the sky looking at him.
"Why didn't you go and see him? We are going on a mission to guard the city for a long time, perhaps if we want to see our son again, he reaches the master realm." Qin Zhu spoke the man beside her.
"Don't worry, our son is not bad, seeing as he has his priorities straight I am relieved. But this mission is important and with my current state, I don't think it is best to meet him." Wang Chen spoke with a horse voice.
But she could see that he had a unjqie aura about him, clearly he was incapable of controlling it completely. He had just made progress, and the aura was still leaking. Such an aura could be suppressed, but it couldn't be hidden. It was indeed best not to distract their child.
"Let's go! I heard that the previous city Lord was killed by those Savages, but the environment is very beneficial for those that want to temper their grandmaster hearts." Wang Chen spoke as he smiled at Qin Zhu.
"Alright let's go. With his shameless this brat is! We shouldn't worry about him. He will he okay!' Qin Zhu agreed with Wang Chen as their figures left.
On the ground, Wang Lu sneezed, "Who is speaking I'll of me behind my back?"
