The next morning, the entire sect woke up to a new reality.
The ancient stone pque that once read "Heavenly Sword Sect" had been forcibly repced overnight with a wooden board scribbled in messy handwriting:
> SLAP ASCENSION SECT
"We Rise by Palm, We Fall by Shame."
— Sect Master Xiao Fan
The disciples stared at it, their mouths agape.
"Did... did he really rename the entire sect?"
"I heard he spped the inscription stone so hard, it rewrote itself."
Meanwhile, in the newly renamed Hall of Palm Enlightenment, Xiao Fan sat zily on the Sect Master's throne, sipping spiritual tea with one hand and practicing One-Finger Sp Secret Technique with the other.
Beside him knelt the Sect Master, now demoted to Palm Servant #1, holding a fan and muttering ancient cultivation chants like:
> "O great Sp Dao, please bless me with the strength to endure another public humiliation…"
"Too slow," Xiao Fan said zily, backhanding the fan out of his hand and across the room. It exploded against the wall.
Ding!
> Sp Training Successful!
+1 Sp Accuracy
+5 Ego Damage Dealt (Passive Aura Activated)
The Grand Elder limped in with a nosebleed and a fresh palm print on his face. "Xiao Fan… No—Sect Master… there's a problem."
Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow. "Unless it's the sky falling or someone marrying my cold jade beauty without my permission, I don't care."
"The other sects… they've heard of the sp war. They're sending challengers."
Xiao Fan grinned. "Good. I was getting bored of just spping locals. Let the world know—Xiao Fan sps across realms."

Meanwhile, in the nearby Fming Thunder Cloud Sect:
An elder burst into the grand hall, panicking.
"Sect Leader! It's happening again! Our outer disciples are... spontaneously spping each other!"
The Sect Leader's expression turned grim. "It's the Sp Dao Virus. Xiao Fan's aura is spreading across the cultivation world."
"Should we resist?"
He stood, pulling out an ancient artifact—The Heavenly Face Protector Mask—and nodded solemnly.
"No. We must prepare. The era of the sword is over.
The Era of the Palm... has begun."

Back in Sp Ascension Sect:
"System," Xiao Fan said, finishing his tea. "What's my next quest?"
Ding!
> New Quest: Sp a Rival Sect Leader on their Wedding Day
Reward: +10,000 EXP, +1 Fiancée Steal Token, +100 Public Humiliation Points
Xiao Fan smirked. "System, you really do understand me."
He stood, cracked his knuckles, and looked out across the horizon.
"Time to crash a wedding."
To Be Continued...
Next time on Reborn to Sp Young Masters:
> "You may now kiss the bride—"
SLAP!
"She's my bride now."
"XIAO FANNNNNN!!!"
