The One-Dollar Flash Sale System Made Me Invincible

Imperial Capital, Dragon Nation. Thunder Martial Hall. "I'm almost off work—and I still have to squeeze back on the subway!" "Even after transmigrating, I'm still a wage slave?!" Blake Bai finished his shift, slumped onto the couch, and watched the flow of people through the lobby. His gaze drifted. Yes, Blake was a transmigrator. Ten years ago, he'd crossed into this high‑martial world where the strong could fly and tear mountains apart. Through sheer hard work, he'd graduated from a martial arts university and landed a job as a coach at Thunder Martial Hall in the capital. In his parents' eyes, he was their pride—earning over ten thousand dollars a month, making it in the big city. But only Blake knew how brutal life in the capital really was. A martial artist needed elixirs and supplements to strengthen blood qi, plus rent and daily expenses. By the end of the year, he barely saved a penny. Blake dreamed of becoming the kind of fighter who could shatter rivers and crush mountains with a single punch. But for now, he could only scrape by. Hard work changes fate? Hah. At twenty‑six, he'd long stopped believing that. In a world that worshipped martial talent, an ordinary guy like him was doomed to stay ordinary. [Ding! Energy storage complete. The One‑Dollar Flash Sale System is now binding...] [One‑Dollar Flash Sale System bound successfully!] [Every item in this system costs just one dollar!] [Martial arts, elixirs, precious herbs, combat talents—everything is up for grabs!] The voice echoed in his mind. Blake froze—then his eyes blazed with joy. A system? He'd waited ten whole years for this! Finally! He knew all about flash sales. His mom was always glued to her phone, waiting for deals—she'd stockpiled enough toothbrushes and towels to last a decade. Blake let out a long breath and examined the translucent interface floating before him. It looked clean and simple. [Item 1: A Century of Cultivation Power] [Description: The result of a hundred years of dedicated training, perfectly compatible and risk‑free.] [Price: One dollar] [Item 2: Perfected Dragon‑Elephant Fist] [Description: A Rare‑class fist technique. A single punch hits like an ancient dragon‑elephant in full charge—devastatingly brutal. Upon fusion, you gain complete mastery, as if you'd practiced it for decades.] [Price: One dollar] [Item 3: Hundredfold Comprehension] [Description: An SSS‑rank talent. Your understanding surpasses that of ordinary people by a hundred times—no martial art can hide its secrets from you. After fusion, you become a once‑in‑an‑era genius. Even the grand masters of martial theory will call you teacher.] [Price: One dollar] [Note: The system refreshes once every seven days with three new items. Each item is available for a limited‑time flash sale of one minute. Miss it, and it's gone.] Reading these three insane items, Blake's excitement surged. A century of cultivation, a perfected fist technique, hundredfold comprehension—things he'd never even dared to dream of, now his for just one dollar each. The system was beyond generous! Once he fused the cultivation power, his strength would skyrocket. The perfected fist technique would boost his combat power, and the comprehension talent would unlock limitless potential. All of them were absolute gold. "I need to grab them now—there's a one‑minute timer." "System, buy them all!!!" [Ding! Binding to your bank card...] [Bank card bound successfully. Current balance: $53,918.] [$3 deducted. Congratulations, purchase successful!] [A Century of Cultivation, Perfected Dragon‑Elephant Fist, and Hundredfold Comprehension have been sent to your system space. Please proceed with fusion.] [Current balance: $53,915.] The prompts kept coming. Blake sank his mind into the system space and saw three golden orbs, each radiating a sacred, imposing aura that made his heart pound. [System Space: A Century of Cultivation (unfused), Perfected Dragon‑Elephant Fist (unfused), Hundredfold Comprehension (unfused)] "The sale worked—three items for only three dollars!" "What am I waiting for? Time to fuse everything." With his pulse racing, Blake got up, left the lounge, and found a training room. He locked the door, sat down cross‑legged, and instinctively reached for the century of cultivation first. Of course—he'd suffered for ten years. If he didn't fuse that power now and get a massive boost, what was the point of all that struggle? But he paused, suppressed the urge, and thought again. The hundredfold comprehension was an SSS‑rank talent—it would let him see through any martial art. He knew that martial talents were incredibly rare; only a handful of people ever awakened one. And the ranks went from E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, up to SSS. This comprehension talent, being the highest tier, would surely place him among the elite prodigies! If he fused the comprehension first, maybe his stance work could break through to a higher level. And a stronger stance meant far better blood qi refinement. "System, fuse the Hundredfold Comprehension!" [Ding! Beginning fusion of Hundredfold Comprehension...] [Hundredfold Comprehension fused successfully!!!] [There are many geniuses in this world. But from today on, they'll all call you 'Father'—and they'll mean it.] In that instant, Blake's mind became crystal clear. His thoughts raced at blinding speed. Ideas and insights surged like a flood. Every cultivation problem that had plagued him for years now had an instant solution. The Five‑Animals Stance—that foundation he'd practiced tirelessly but progressed so slowly—now laid itself bare before him, every secret exposed. As he grew accustomed to the change, Blake's eyes shone with disbelief and delight. No wonder it was the highest SSS‑rank—it felt like being reborn. In martial arts, aptitude and comprehension were everything. Better aptitude meant more effective body‑tempering and blood qi enhancement. Higher comprehension meant lightning‑fast progress in techniques and cultivation. With this talent, every obstacle in his martial path would crumble. "I've practiced the Five‑Animals Stance for years and only reached proficiency. But now... I'm not even human anymore!!!" Blake recalled the stance's 108 movements, reviewing them in a flash. This stance, adapted from the ancient Five‑Animal Frolics by a renowned martial sage, was excellent for refining blood qi and had been widely adopted across the nation. The more consecutive movements you could complete, the better the effect. Limited by his old comprehension, Blake had only managed thirty‑two moves. But this time, everything felt different. He executed all 108 movements in a smooth, unbroken flow. He was a fierce tiger charging down the mountain, a deer leaping through the forest, an ape nimble and quick, a bear solid and steady, and finally a crane spreading its wings to take flight. He finished the full set and lowered his posture. His blood qi began to surge, tempering his bones and muscles, making his muscle fibers thicker and stronger. Behind him, ripples shimmered in the air—a tiger, a deer, a golden ape, a brown bear, and a crane. Their phantoms circled and guarded him like subjects before a king. The emergence of the Five‑Animals phantoms signified that the stance had reached perfection—the ultimate level. Its blood‑qi‑boosting effect was sixteen times that of the beginner stage. In other words, Blake would now grow in power at a pace beyond anything he'd ever experienced. "Hundredfold comprehension—it's beyond amazing! This stance that used to be so hard is now as easy as basic arithmetic." Dismissing the phantoms, Blake let out a long breath and slowly calmed his racing heart. "System, fuse the Century of Cultivation power now!!!"
