He ranks first in the entire city in academic subjects, but dead last in martial arts. As if that weren't enough, wealthy heir Zhao Ze sets his sights on him, threatening to make him give up his academic entrance exam results so Zhao Ze can take first place and enter Kyoto's First Martial Arts University. Faced with a choice between dying on his feet or living on his knees, Su Yu struggles with his decision. Just then, a money-powered system awakens. For just one yuan, he can purchase an entire year of cultivation! From that moment on, advancing his martial arts realm becomes as easy as drinking water, and he makes everyone who ever looked down on him eat their words.
