Picking Up Attributes In Martial World Novel

A renowned assassin meets his end after assassinating his boss, only to awaken in a world steeped in cultivation tropes. He finds himself with broken meridians, ostracized by clan members, disowned by his father in favor of a more talented younger brother, and experiencing an annulled engagement. Unlucky but ordinary, he eventually leaves his clan to forge his own path. Upon his departure, he discovers a unique ability: he can see and collect attributes dropped by others performing various actions. Cultivators leave behind stats like strength and body tempering progress, alchemists yield talent and identification skills, and swordsmen drop combat awareness and technique fragments. Even the fallen leave behind significant gains, including immense stat boosts and rare physique fragments. With this newfound advantage, he bypasses the need for conventional talent, bloodlines, or guidance. While others toil for incremental progress, he simply collects the fruits of their labor—stats, techniques, talents, physiques, and even professions—ensuring his effortless rise in a world where effort, talent, and luck typically dictate success.
