Long Chen lay still on the thin bed, staring at the cracked wooden ceiling.
Okay… I'll deal with that later.
The strange feeling he got every time he looked at his mother — that beautiful face, those gentle eyes — he pushed it deep down. There would be time for confusing thoughts later. Right now, he needed to focus.
He closed his eyes and let the memories of the original Long Chen wash over him again. The boy had been the first heir to the Long Clan in Denver County. Everyone had placed their hopes on him… until the fight with his so-called best friend destroyed his dantian completely. Now the clan could only choose another heir from his younger brother. In Denver County, the rule was clear: the heir must be chosen according to cultivation level. No exceptions.
How can I take advantage of this new life? Long Chen thought. I can't just rush out and act like a genius. I have to follow the trend — go with what everyone expects.
The family competition was coming up soon. It was the biggest event of the year, where all the young talents of the Long Clan would fight to prove themselves. The winner would be named the official heir.
If I show up like this… useless, with zero cultivation… I'll only shame myself in front of the entire clan.
A cold smile appeared on his small face.
I can only pretend I'm still sick. Stay in bed, act weak, let everyone think the old Long Chen is finished. That way, no one will expect anything from me… and I can prepare in secret.
Just as the thought finished, a cold mechanical voice suddenly rang inside his head.
[System initializing…]
[Loading… 100%]
[Scanning host body… Complete.]
Long Chen's eyes snapped open.
What the—?
A glowing blue screen only he could see appeared in front of him.
[Opportunity Tracking System]
Host: Long Chen
Current Status: Dantian damaged — Cultivation: None
System Function: Can only track opportunities.
The voice continued flatly:
"System can only track opportunities. Host may ask for nearby opportunities at any time. No other functions available."
Long Chen's heart pounded with excitement. A system! Even if it was limited, it was still a cheat from his new life.
Heh… perfect.
While everyone thinks I'm a useless, sick boy hiding in bed, this system will show me the chances no one else can see.
He glanced at the closed door. His mother was probably outside preparing food. The old elder had already left without saying more. No one was watching.
Long Chen whispered under his breath, testing the system.
"System… show me the nearest opportunity."
The blue screen flickered once.
[Opportunity Detected]

A small map appeared in the corner of his vision, pointing the exact direction.
Long Chen's eyes lit up with a dangerous glint
