Chen Xiao plowed the field with a determined face while the people around him laughed and mocked.
"Why is the greatest cultivator here plowing?" one of the villagers sneered.
"Hey, don't do that he might wiggle you to death!" another shouted, and the crowd burst into laughter.
None of them knew that Chen was a reincarnated soul who possessed a strange power.

Mission[1]
Rewards[2]
Finally… with this, I can draw him a mediocre talent, he thought to himself.
Bang!
The door creaked open, and inside the small house, another person in a white robe was cultivating diligently.
He had the same face and body as Chen. As the figure opened his eyes, a glowing window appeared in the air:
Your clone has woken up. Power increased: 30 -> 47
Chen had the ability to create a clone of himself. Strangely, though, the ability wasn't that overpowered he could only create one clone for now. And worse, his clone had its own independent mind.
"Hey, you know I'm being scorned by the villagers now that they found out I'm trash with no innate ability?" Chen complained to his clone.
"Will you just shut up? When I get admitted to the Flying Sword Sect, you'll be free from this poverty," the clone replied coldly.
Chen sighed. "You're right… so you better win the weekly Flying Sword Tournament tomorrow."
He grabbed the hoe again and walked back out to plow the field.
Out in the field, one of the contestants, Pi Dao, kicked a rock toward Chen and sneered.
"Hehehe… hey Chen Xiao, where's all that confidence you used to boast about? Weren't you going to be indestructible in this world? is it on the ground"
Pi Dao's friends roared with laughter while Chen Xiao could only grit his teeth in anger.
He thought back to the moment of his reincarnation, when the system first appeared.
Congratulations! You are the chosen one. Please wait for the system to be assigned to your soul.
With those words, he had proudly boasted to his family and neighbors that he was the chosen one the main character of fate.
But then the truth hit.
System Assigned: C-System
Skill Gained: Cloning
Clone[3]
Note: You can only strengthen your clones, not yourself.
Chen's hopes were shattered. His dream of standing on the martial path vanished instantly.
When a sect came to test the village for talent, he had been called trash, laughed at, and discarded.
From that day on, the villagers gave him a nickname: "The Worm Who Dreams to Fly."
To make things worse, his family secretly gamblers ran away, leaving him buried in mountains of debt.
Now Chen lived a rough life, clinging to a single hope: if his clone could join a sect, maybe he could finally escape his misery.
But today, Pi Dao's mockery pushed him to the edge until a sword light slashed out of Chen's small house, cutting through Pi Dao's group's shirts in one strike.
From the rubble stepped Chen Xiao's clone, eyes sharp and voice cold.
"Where are your shirts? Did you eat them with those big mouths of yours?"
