Chapter 1 - Getting StartedYu Haoran suddenly opened his eyes and subconsciously formed a seal with his hands. His body instinctively retreated as he resisted the destructive force that was about to sweep towards him.
However, the feeling of weakness he felt, as well as the silence around him, made him realize that the environment he was in was different from what he had imagined.
Quickly scanning his surroundings, he found himself in a dimly lit room, lying on a hard wooden bed.
The room was very simple and crude. Other than the hard wooden bed beneath him, there was a broken wooden table and a few chairs with missing arms and legs.
"This, this, how is this possible!" Looking at the old and broken furniture in front of him, Yu Haoran was at a loss.
This was because the current environment and the simple layout of the room resembled the place where he had lived when he was sixteen.
But a hundred years had pa.s.sed since he was sixteen.
"Could it be rebirth, or the rebirth before death?" Shaking his head with all his might, trying to clear his mind, Yu Haoran murmured to himself.
Just as he found it hard to believe, the door was gently pushed open.
Soon after, a young girl around the age of seventeen, who had an elegant and refined temperament, walked in.
"Xiao Ran, you"re finally awake!" Seeing Yu Haoran, who had opened his eyes and was half-sitting on the bed, with a blank look on his face, the girl immediately revealed a look of pleasant surprise. He then quickly rushed to the bedside and hugged him tightly, crying out in a choked voice.
The familiar fragrance of her body and her hair awakened the sealed memories. Countless scenes appeared in his mind, giving him the most realistic feeling. He knew that what was happening before him was not an illusion.
In the end, he forcefully responded to the girl"s hug and excitedly yelled, "Sis!"
Only after his emotions had calmed down a bit did he see the familiar room out of the corner of his eyes. Yu Haoran finally confirmed his true condition.
"So all of this is true! I, Yu Haoran, have truly been reborn! However, it"s not that I have reincarnated, but rather, it"s more like time has flowed back. It allows me to return to a time when I was over a hundred years old, back to the time when I was sixteen years old, back to the moment when my destiny took a turn for the better. "
Thinking to this point, Yu Haoran forcefully suppressed the doubt and shock in his heart and secretly swore.
"Sis, although I don"t know why my soul wasn"t destroyed by the explosion of Demon G.o.d"s Tomb, but since the heavens allowed me, Yu Haoran, to live once again, then I will definitely change your miserable fate in the future. I will definitely let those enemies who humiliated you and me, and the enemies who chased after me, Yu Haoran, die with their souls intact, never to reincarnate!"
Recalling the injustices and humiliation he had suffered in his previous life, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Recalling the various oppression and pursuit he had encountered in his previous life, killing intent surged in his eyes!
… ….
"Bam!" Just as Yu Haoran was deep in his thoughts about his grudges from his previous life, the half-closed door was suddenly kicked open.
Subsequently, a young man around the age of eighteen charged in.
This person was handsome, wearing gorgeous clothes, and had an extraordinary temperament. However, his pair of peach blossom eyes, which exuded an evil aura, destroyed his overall temperament and gave off a sinister feeling.
Seeing the young man who suddenly barged into the room, Yu Haoran"s face changed, and immediately stood up and questioned him with a stiff tone.
"Yu Haocheng, what are you doing here?"
Yu Hao City, the only son of the hall master of the Azure Dragon Hall, Yu Hongyang, and the only grandson of the grand elder.
Green Dragon Hall was the strongest hall in the Yu Family. It controlled the strength of the clan"s sixth floor and its head, Yu Hongyang, was a strong and ruthless man.
Great Elder, the number one direct descendant elder of the Yu Family, not only did he hold an important position, his strength was also unfathomably deep. It was said that he was one of the top three strongest warriors in the Yu Family.
Because he had such a powerful backer, Yu Haocheng"s position in the Yu Family was very special.
"Ouch!" I didn"t expect that you, this punk, would have such a tough life. Even Manager He"s using fifty percent of his power, the Lotus Palm, was unable to take your puny life! " Seeing Yu Haoran"s calm aura and furious expression, Yu Haocheng mocked in a slightly astonished manner.
"Yu Haocheng, what do you mean?" Yu Haocheng"s taunts instantly darkened Yu Haoran"s face, and heroic fury rose in his heart.
As one of the three great clans of the Pingyang City, the son of the strongest clan leader of the Yu Family, he should have led a very happy life.
However, in a secret battle a year ago, his parents were both killed, and there were very few members of the clan leader"s direct line of descent, so the losses at that time were even more severe. In the end, there were only him and his sister Yu Saiqi left, thus allowing the Great Clan Elder, whose strength had not been harmed, to quickly gain control of the clan"s power.
In order to prevent Yu Haoran, the heir to the clan, from affecting his control over the family"s power, not only did the Great Clan Elder expel him from the direct line of descent, he was even demoted to a menial job of splitting firewood and carrying water.
Even more outrageous was that even though he had been demoted to a janitor, no one from the Great Elder"s faction had met him. Hunger and abuse were commonplace, and punching and kicking didn"t even distinguish between time and occasion.
The day before yesterday, he had only been chopped down by a few pieces of firewood before being managed by the vice supervisor. He had reached the Fifth Rank as a Martial Disciple, and He Qingshan, who was considered the First Elder, had forcefully slapped him, causing him to almost die.
The reason the First Elder"s faction suppressed him like this, was that other than him being the successor of the Yu Family, it was also because his father, Yu Hongzhi, was still the strongest warrior in the Pingyang City. He was already a peak Martial Master at the age of thirty-seven, just a step away from breaking through the Wu Zong realm.
His mother"s talent was equally outstanding; she was already a Grade Eight Martial Master at the same age.
They were worried that Yu Haoran inheriting his parents" outstanding cultivation talent and then rising up once again would not only affect their control of their family, but might even ruin their future.
After all, the Yu Family wasn"t as rigid as an iron board. There were many direct line of descent who had been hoping for Yu Haoran to quickly mature, and then lead them to a new rise like Yu Hongzhi had done so they could once again become overlords of the Pingyang City.
Yu Haocheng"s excessive action made Yu Haoran suddenly recall a humiliating experience from his previous life. He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and he directly walked in front of Yu Saiqi, blocking Yu Haocheng"s lewd gaze, and shouted while gnashing his teeth.
"Yu Haocheng, don"t be too excessive!"
"Excessive!" "Haha …!" In the face of Yu Haoran"s gnashing teeth and scolding, not only did Yu Haocheng not feel the slightest bit of embarra.s.sment, he even laughed wildly.
After laughing for nearly thirty seconds, his expression suddenly darkened, and then, he blatantly threatened: "Yu Haoran, wake up!"
"You are no longer the son of the clan leader, nor are you the future heir to the clan. You are now just a servant, a servant who brings water to the clan. Whether you live or die depends on this young master"s mood."
Speaking to here, Yu Haocheng laughed slyly and continued to threaten: "So, Yu Haoran, if you want to protect your own life, want to protect the chance to rise up in the future, and want to reproduce your father"s glorious days, you better be tactful, otherwise, hehehe!"
"You …!" Yu Haocheng"s naked threat immediately put him in a difficult position.
