Pawning lifespan, starting from a low-level martial arts world to transform into a dragon.

Thrown into a chaotic, perilous martial arts world with only three years left to live, Chen Ye finds himself gifted with unique talent and a target on his back. Fortunately, he awakens the Pawning System, a miraculous tool that allows him to trade his lifespan for instant, grueling cultivation breakthroughs. At first, he pawns mere months just to survive, walking a razor's edge of fear and caution. But as the stakes rise, so does his ambition. Trading years unleashes a dragon-like vigor that surges through his veins; trading decades lets him stare down the entire world. When he finally sacrifices a century, he achieves instant enlightenment, his sheer aura overwhelming the heavens themselves. As Chen Ye stands at the apex of power and looks down upon the mortal realm, the magnificent landscape reveals its true, rotten core: crumbling dynasties, fading dragon veins, and corrupt aristocrats manipulating the law. Armed with limitless growth fueled by his own years, he is ready to shatter the old world and transform into a true dragon.
