  Chapter 1 The Paradoxical World

   "Handsome guy, are you interested in signing up for the martial arts training class?"

  On the way home, a beautiful girl in tight gym clothes stopped Lin Shen and enthusiastically handed him a flyer.

  Lin Shen paused and looked down at the leaflet.

  The four big characters of Taiyang Martial Arts Hall immediately came into view.

   "Our martial arts gym is officially authorized by the Sanzong Mansion, and it is second to none in the entire Linlong City in terms of scale and teaching quality!"

   Seeing Lin Shen stop, the girl immediately seized the opportunity to persuade him.

   "No matter which of the three foundation-founding exercises you are practicing, or which realm you have reached, our martial arts gym can tailor the most suitable courses for you, and there are also long-breathing-level instructors who will teach in person!"

  Lin Shen smiled slightly, took the leaflet and said, "Thank you, I'll think about it."

  The girl has heard similar words hundreds of times, but she couldn't understand Lin Shen's perfunctory meaning, so she continued to persuade:

   "Our martial arts gym just happened to have a promotional event recently. Now the registration fee can be discounted by 20%, and the basic course only costs 7999 spirit coins!"

  Lin Shen remained unmoved, smiled faintly, turned and left under the disappointed gaze of the girl, and disappeared into the crowd.

  Four or five minutes later, Lin Shen came to the bus stop, just as a No. 32 bus was coming slowly, stopped in front of the stop, and opened the front and rear doors with a creak.

  As the crowd got on the bus, Lin Shen took out a one-face value spirit coin and threw it into the coin box, then found a corner seat by the window and sat down.

   Not long after, the bus left the station and continued to drive forward.

  Looking out the window at the rapidly sweeping street scene, Lin Shen breathed a sigh of relief, with a slightly complicated expression on his face.

   It has been almost a week since he traveled to this world, and he is almost familiar with the personnel and environment around him.

  Who would have thought that after just sleeping, he would wake up and travel to a different world.

  This world is not the same as the previous life. At first glance, many places are very similar, such as the high-rise buildings along the street, the continuous flow of vehicles, and even the clothes of passers-by. They are almost the same as the world of the previous life.

  But after in-depth understanding, Lin Shen discovered that this was not the case.

  As far as he knows, there is no such thing as a country in this world, and all cities are under the rule of an organization called Zongmen.

For example, Linlong City, where he is now, is located on Donghai Road, one of the five paths of Eastern Shenzhou. It is a prosperous city under the joint rule of the Jingtao Sect, Qingshuang Sect and Jiuyang Sect, with an area of ​​7,500 square kilometers. , with a population of more than 3.5 million, and more than ten subordinate cities, it can be called a rare behemoth in the Tokaido.

   What maintains the dominance of these sects is the powerful force beyond the ordinary!

   "Extraordinary power?"

  Lin Shen muttered to himself.

  The level of military technology development in this world is appallingly low, almost still in the era of cold weapons.

  Firearms, artillery shells, tanks. Many familiar hot weapons in the previous life, but there is no trace here.

  In contrast, the martial arts and immortal arts that only existed in fantasy before the last life are widely known here.

  In Linlong City, all teenagers and girls who have reached the age of fifteen can start the road of practice, and choose one of the foundational exercises of the three major sects to practice.

  Those who have achieved success in their studies can take part in the annual exam and compete for the opportunity to enter the Taoist monastery affiliated to the three sects.

   This world is full of martial arts and respects power, so entering the three major sects is almost everyone's dream.

  Once one is lucky enough to become a monk, one can join the upper class in one fell swoop, become a master, and enjoy privileges and status that ordinary people can't imagine.

  Because of this, there are countless students who follow each other every year, practicing day and night.

  The predecessor is no exception.

  Lin Shen's current body is only eighteen years old this year. He is a student who is about to take the final exam at Huailiu College in Linlong City.

  Zhengyuan Breathing Technique is the most orthodox introductory method of Taoism in Linlong City, or the entire Eastern Shenzhou.

  As the practitioners become more and more sophisticated, the practice methods will gradually show a difference between high and low, but the initial entry-level exercises are almost the same, and the same goal is reached by all routes.

  That's why all the teenagers and girls who have just stepped into the road of cultivation in Linlong City, regardless of their noble or poor backgrounds, practice Zhengyuan Breathing Technique at the beginning.

  As for the Blazing Yang Palm, it is the foundational martial art of the Nine Yang Sect.

Lin Shen has been practicing these two skills for more than two years, but only Zhengyuan Tuna has reached the level of proficiency, and his cultivation has only reached the third level of aerodynamics. To describe it as mediocre.

   With talent and strength like this, let alone joining the Daoist Academy affiliated to the three major sects, you can't even get the qualification to take the big exam.

  —if nothing unexpected!

   While thoughts drifted, the bus had arrived at the destination station.

  Lin Shen looked away and got out of the car through the back door.

  In any case, since you have crossed over, no matter how much you blame others, it won't help.

  The only thing you can do is to accept the facts in front of you and find a way to survive better in this world.

   Fortunately, Lin Shen was alone before and after time travel.

  Neither need to worry about someone being sad because of their disappearance, nor need to face the strange and complicated interpersonal relationship after time travel.

  The only thing you need to be familiar with is the teachers and students of the college.

  After these days of careful exploration, Lin Shen has basically become familiar with the interpersonal relationship of his predecessor, without arousing any doubts.

  Through a remote alleyway, a dilapidated apartment building came into view.

  The apartment building is more than thirty years old.

  There are many tiles falling off the outer wall, withered and yellow creepers left on the mottled walls, the stairs are covered with rust, and there will be creaking and harsh sounds when stepping on them, as if they will collapse at any time, which makes people frightened.

  As soon as he stepped onto the corridor on the third floor, a bald middle-aged man walked up to him.

   It is Liu De who lives next door to Lin Shen. He is currently divorced and works in a real estate agency.

  He was carrying a briefcase, wearing a suit, and seemed to be going back to the company to work overtime. When he saw Lin Shen, he smiled and said hello.

   "I'm back, get out of class is over so early today."

  Lin Shen nodded and smiled politely.

  He didn't have much contact with this neighbor, and he only met to say hello on weekdays.

   After chatting for a while, Lin Shen said goodbye to Liu De, and walked towards his room at the end of the corridor.

  Looking at his back, Liu De shook his head slightly.

  In my impression, Lin Shen is the hardest-working student he has ever met.

  It's a pity that the aptitude is a bit poor, and I haven't achieved any results.

"That's right, every year so many people apply for the three Dao colleges, and not one in a hundred will succeed in the end. Dao colleges are not so easy to get into. Most people are not like me, and they will be office workers all their lives! "

   Sighing weepingly, Liu De turned and walked down the stairs.

  Lin Shen didn't know what Liu De was thinking, and he didn't care if he knew.

  Replacing the predecessor, there is indeed no hope of being admitted to the Third Daoyuan in this life.

  But from the moment he crossed over, this changed!

   Click!

  Pushing open the door of the apartment, Lin Shen stepped in.

  The lights in the living room were not turned on, and the curtains on the balcony were also closed, so the light was slightly dim.

  Lin Shen came to the center of the living room, but he didn't see any movement. Two phantoms suddenly separated from his body, falling four or five steps away, and became solid at an astonishing speed.

  If other people were present at this time, they would definitely be taken aback.

  Because the solidified two figures, regardless of their body shape, facial features, or temperament, are actually exactly the same as Lin Shen, as if they were carved out of the same mold!
