I died young at the start, but I'm reincarnated with unlimited skill points!

Chapter 1: A Legend of the Martial Arts World, Ending with a Smile

At the summit of Mount Tai stands the Fengchan Terrace.

The once-a-decade martial arts tournament is reaching its climax, with the air filled with the force of punches and the energy of swords.

On the nine-dragon gold-threaded couch directly in front of the arena, reclined an elderly man with white hair, whose youthful splendor was still faintly discernible.

Su Yu, the Great Xia Zhennan King, a Grandmaster, a martial arts legend!

Eighty-year-old Su Yu coughed twice, and the maid beside him immediately and obediently handed him a warm soup made from thousand-year-old snow lotus.

He took a sip, his gaze, slightly weary, looking down at the masses below.

"Your Highness, in today's competition for the title of martial arts alliance leader, which hero do you favor?"

Beside him, the chief eunuch sent by the current emperor asked respectfully.

Before Su Yu could reply, a sudden change occurred on the arena!

Suddenly, an unknown young man in plain clothes unleashed three powerful moves of the "Heavenly Dragon True Qi," knocking the Shaolin Bodhidharma Academy's leader, who was originally considered the favorite to win the championship, off the stage!

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

At the head table, a still-attractive female leader of a demonic sect suddenly stood up and stared intently at the young man.

"Heavenly Dragon True Qi? That's the secret technique of the Prince of Zhennan! Boy, what's your name? Who's your mother?!"

The young man in plain clothes stood proudly and declared loudly, "I will not change my name or surname, I am Su Fan!"

"My mother was Liu Ruyan, the most famous courtesan in Jiangnan twenty years ago! This martial arts technique is the only keepsake my father left to my mother!"

After saying that, the boy suddenly turned his head and looked straight at Su Yu on the high platform. He knelt down on both knees, his eyes red.

"Father! I am finally worthy to stand before you!"

"puff--"

Old Prince Su Yu almost spat out his mouthful of warm soup.

But before he could even wipe his mouth, another unexpected event occurred!

"Wait a moment!"

On the side of the righteous path of the martial arts world, the cold and aloof Abbess Jueqing of the Emei Sect trembled all over and pointed at Su Fan.

"You...you just used the Heavenly Dragon True Qi? Didn't that heartless man say that only my daughter and I knew the key to this technique?!"

Beside the Heartless Abbess, the exceptionally talented Emei Saintess who had just made it into the top four stood dumbfounded.

"Master, didn't you say I was an orphan? My father... is the Prince of Zhennan?!"

"fart!"

The female Grand Preceptor of the Great Xia Dynasty slammed her hand on the table, her phoenix eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"Back then, Su Lang and I talked all night at the Star Gazing Tower. He clearly said that I was his confidante, and aren't my children his own flesh and blood?!"

In an instant, the entire Fengchantai was in an uproar.

The Beggars' Sect leader discovered that his most trusted young leader was wearing a jade pendant from the Prince of Zhennan's mansion around his neck.

The leader of the Kunlun Sect was shocked to learn that his wife had actually had an affair with the Prince of Zhennan twenty years ago.

Even those peerless prodigies who had just fought tooth and nail on the arena, vying for the title of the world's number one, exchanged glances and suddenly realized...

The two of them even have a seven or eight-point resemblance in their features!

Hundreds of eyes, some shocked, some angry, some sorrowful, all converged on the old prince on the high platform.

"Cough cough..."

Faced with this large-scale family reunion, 80-year-old Su Yu, though old, was extremely thick-skinned.

He slowly stood up, facing the raging wind and rain, his hands behind his back, a spirited smile playing on his lips.

In fact, he was a time traveler.

I was reborn into this world eighty years ago, without any special advantages.

But through his own efforts, talent, and a little bit of luck, he accomplished everything that ordinary people can do.

He held the highest position in the court, was as wealthy as a country, and was invincible in the martial arts world.

Most importantly, he was a dashing and romantic man throughout his life, with countless female companions across the country, leaving behind a trail of romantic entanglements that even he himself was unaware of.

"Alright, alright, since we're all here today, let's acknowledge our ancestors and return to our roots."

Su Yu stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

At this moment, he suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.

When awake, I wield power over the world; when drunk, I rest my head on the lap of a beautiful woman; my children and grandchildren fill my house; all the talents of the world are my sons.

As an ordinary person, to have lived to this extent, this life has been worthwhile!

There was nothing left in this world for him to pursue.

I have no regrets in this life!

Just as the words "no regrets" settled in his heart, the martial arts barrier within Su Yu's body, which had been stagnant for thirty years, quietly shattered at the last moment before his life force was about to die.

The moment his spirit broke through the barriers of heaven and earth, Su Yu's cloudy eyes suddenly opened wide.

With that astonishing leap before his death, he actually followed a sliver of light and saw through the layers of clouds!

Above the howling wind, an immortal dressed in a blue Taoist robe was traveling on a sword.

Immortals? There really are cultivators in this world?!

Su Yu was deeply shaken and stared intently at the figure riding the sword.

At that very moment, the immortals above the clouds seemed to have sensed something as well.

The immortals in the clouds seemed to sense something, paused slightly, and their gazes pierced through the wind and rain of Mount Tai, landing on Su Yu, whose life was about to end.

There was no furious outburst of thunder from heaven as in the stories, nor any condescending rebuke.

In the immortal's eyes, there was only a trace of pity for an ant from a high position, and a faint sense of helplessness.

"By using martial arts to touch the Dao, one can actually glimpse the light beyond the realm with a mortal body..."

The ethereal voice of the immortal echoed in Su Yu's mind, accompanied by a long sigh.

"Exceptional comprehension and astonishing perseverance. It's just a pity... lacking spiritual roots, he's ultimately just an ordinary person."

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes."

The immortal shook his head, not looking at him again, and with a flick of his sleeve, he transformed into a shooting star and disappeared into the sky.

In this world, there are immortals, sword-wielding beings, and celestial beings.

However, it has nothing to do with Su Yu.

The laws of heaven and earth, and the words "spiritual root," severed all his possibilities.

"puff--!"

The extreme shock to the mind, coupled with a breakthrough when all energy was exhausted.

Su Yu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body fell straight backward.

"father!"

"Your Highness!"

"Su Lang!"

Amidst the cries of a group of illegitimate children and former lovers, Su Yu's vision gradually faded into darkness.

In the depths of consciousness, time begins to flow backward, and the revolving lantern of life quietly lights up.

In that instant, Su Yu neither saw the immortal nor pondered the bitterness and regret of having no spiritual root.

What he saw was a sky full of snow, the misty rain of Jiangnan, and the lone smoke rising from the desert.

And amidst these landscapes, there are vivid and exquisitely beautiful faces.

The scene is frozen on the banks of the Qinhuai River twenty years ago.

The painted boat rocked gently, and a fine drizzle fell like silk.

At that time, Liu Ruyan was the most famous courtesan in Jiangnan. She was dressed in a light green gauze dress, and was a beautiful young woman with bright eyes and white teeth.

She held up an oil-paper umbrella and smiled sweetly at her own reflection in her bright clothes and spirited horse at the bridgehead. Her eyes were filled with tender affection.

The scene shifts to snow falling heavily atop Mount Hua.

The later renowned Abbess Jueqing was back then just a proud swordswoman whose ears would turn red at the slightest romantic remark.

She stubbornly raised her chin, which was covered in snowflakes, and let him put the "Three Lives Together Jade" around her neck.

At that time, her eyes were not cold and aloof, but filled with love and shyness that were about to overflow.

Another flash, and it's the quiet, long night at the Imperial City Observatory.

The high-ranking female imperial advisor took off her heavy court robes, wearing only a thin veil, and leaned gently on his shoulder, pointing to the starry sky as she spoke.

"Su Lang, no matter how beautiful the world is, it cannot compare to even a fraction of what you see."

And then there's the cult's holy maiden, who dared to love and hate fiercely, and who passionately kissed herself on the edge of a cliff like a raging fire.

That foreign princess, with whom he rode on horseback across the grasslands beyond the Great Wall, her laughter ringing out...

Each face, in their youngest, most beautiful, and most radiant years, danced in Su Yu's heart.

Looking at these scenes, Su Yu's initial regret due to his mortal bones suddenly dissipated.

Immortals can ride the wind on swords and live forever, but so what?

He might not be as carefree as Su Yu has been for the past eighty years.

He has drunk the strongest liquor in the world, ridden the fastest horse, and wielded the sharpest sword.

I have loved the most beautiful woman in the world even more!

His bloodline spread and dominated the entire martial arts world!

He had tasted the ultimate in human pleasures and the boundless prosperity of the mortal world, and even his very bones were etched with a sense of freedom and ease.

Even without spiritual roots, even if I've only been a mortal for eighty years.

He truly lived a magnificent and extraordinary life!

"Cultivating immortality is good... but these eighty years in the mortal realm, I, Su Yu, have not lost out either!"

In the darkness, Su Yu's soul calmed down completely, and the corners of his mouth finally turned up uncontrollably.

The last vestige of life in the physical body was extinguished.

He seemed to have simply traveled a long and wonderful journey, and after being utterly exhausted, he fell peacefully asleep.

The lips, which had gradually lost their color, finally settled into a smile of utter satisfaction, contentment, and without a trace of regret.

My life is complete!
