“Nh…” Feeling his head throbbing in pain, Liu Chen let out a soft groan and grasped his head, unintentionally feeling the unfamiliar texture of long velvety hair.
“W-what..?” His eyes flew open in shock as he grabbed hold of a few strands of his hair and drew them closer to his face to get a better look.
[Intimidation Skill Acquired]
Liu Chen knit his eyebrows in confusion as he heard a monotonous voice in his head.
[Integrating System to Host]
Buzz…
Suddenly, there was a long, buzzing sound that completely filled Liu Chen’s hearing and his hands instinctively flew to cover his ears. He quickly realized that it was useless as the sound seemed to resonate from inside his head.
W-what is this? System? Host? What exactly is happening?
[Replying to host’s questions, due to the host’s vessel dying and activating the dying will system, host’s soul is now being transfered and integrated into Feng Lei’s body, a character from the novel, ‘Immortal Traversing Through the Stars’, according to host’s last wishes]
Having his question unexpectedly answered, Luo Chen visibly froze in shock as he contemplated the meaning of the words that the system said.
I see… I have been transferred to a xianxia novel world.. Am I dreaming perhaps?
[Negative]
Well, I guess that answers my question. It truly is incredible though. But couldn’t they have picked a better character to transfer my soul to? Of all the characters, why a cannon fodder? And one who opposes the protagonist ’til death at that!
[Host’s soul was in an extremely fragile state and can only be integrated into the most compatible vessel available]
Ah.. Is that so? Then I understand. With the transferring to a xianxia novel world thing, I’ll be troubling you to explain it to me.
[World Name: Immortal Realm : it is the second realm that was introduced in the novel, ‘Immortal Traveraing Through the Stars’ after the protagonist ascends from the Mortal Realm. Here, the protagonist encounters many challenges, defeats many enemies, and forms his harem.]
And I presume that the body I am currently in is one of the many enemies that will be defeated by the protagonist in the future, correct?
[Positive]
Please continue.
[Vessel: Feng Lei : the second young master of the Feng clan. Hailed as a genius since birth, coupled with his innate Millennial Yin constitution and high status as a direct descendant of the clan’s patriarch, he grew up to be an arrogant young master]
Hmm.. I see, I see. So that’s why this kid ended up the way he did. Truly pitiful. And eventually ending up to be killed by the overpowered protagonist. But doesn’t this kid seem to be a cheat-like existence as well?
[…..]
No comment, huh? Well then, please continue.
[Feng Clan: rumored to have the bloodline of the God Beast Ice Phoenix and have been existing since the ancient times. Unfortunately, with the passage of time, the formula to awaken their innate bloodline has been lost. But, having been serving the imperial family for many generations, they have acquired great authority and influence in the empire, and eventually been titled as one of the top seven clans.]
Indeed, indeed. This description is perfectly in line to the novel’s plot. Too bad, this ancient clan, too, will be ruined by the protagonist in the future. Is there anything else that I need to know?
[Negative]
Eh? Is that so? System, are you sure you’re not hiding lingzi under your belt? (leaving out details).
[…..]
…..Oi. At least deny it a little, will you? Aren’t you doing your job incorrectly like this? Aren’t systems supposed to be mysterious and give unexpected bonuses during a martial duel or something? What the hell happened with you? The admin probably forgot to equip you with antivirus, right?
[Due to an unexpected error, host will acquire the original character’s skill; Venomous Mouth.]
The heck is this even?!
“Worthless peasant, the fuck is this?!”
You’ve got to be kidding me! Just as I thought of making peace with the protagonist and avoiding death flags, this skill just had to ruin that. And why is this a skill in the first place?! Guess I have no choice but to level up as fast as I can…. Which reminds me.. Yo, System! Judging from this kid, Lei’s current height and appearance, the novel shouldn’t have started yet, right?
[Positive.]
Then, how much time do I have left before it starts and what is the current situation of the Feng Clan?
[There is approximately two years, one month, twelve days, three hours, and twenty-seven minutes until the novel begins. The Fang Clan is currently at the upper three clans rankings and is only one rank lower than the royal family in status. They have a vast influence in the royal court and is the top supporter of the crown prince for the succession ceremony which will happen in approximately three years. The Feng Clan is also known for producing numerous top notch generals and several Grand Marshals in the past. The standard cultivation technique of the Feng Clan has been known to be one of the highest tiers known in the entire Immortal Realm. Their influence is not only limited to the Immortal Realm. It also reaches the Demon Realm and Mortal Realms, giving them a strong footing in all Realms. Rumour has it that their influence also reaches the corners of the Divine Realm.]
Ah… In short, it is the ideal stepping stone for the protagonist to boost himself up in the future. With the pretence of crushing great evil with his might a justice alone, he will gain strong influence, a heroic impression, and as well as a sizeable amount of harem candidates. Sigh… The hero really has a good life ahead of him… I’m jealous~
“That lowlife hero should be groveling underneath this great I’s feet!”
This kid’s mouth really needs a thorough washing… Truly regretful.
[Warning!!! Tutorial mode is about to begin!]
Eh? I thought it already started..?
[World set-up is complete. OOC functions have been added. Skill point distribution system has been implemented. Mission bar has been added. Start up in (10) seconds.]
“This is really happening, huh? I mean, I don’t mind being transferred or anything. The idea hasn’t settled in yet.” Feng Lei, formerly called Liu Chen, muttered to himself as he stared at his slightly childish looking pristine appearance through a large mirror directly in front of his bed.
[5…4…]
“At least it’s slightly better than my life back on Earth. It didn’t have death flags popping out of nowhere but, the living conditions here are way more superior. I guess, I’m fine like this.” Feng Lei continued, a contented smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
[1…0… Tutorial Mode is now activated]
Just as the system finished speaking, the door to Feng Lei’s room suddenly burst open and an anxious-looking teen with long green hair, and dressed in blue practitioner’s garb, embroidered with silver flying phoenixes, came rushing in and nearly suffocated Feng Lei in a bone-crushing bear-hug.
“Ah’Lei! Ah’Lei! You’re alright! Big brother was so worried about you! Suddenly fainting in the middle of cultivating and not waking up for three days. Big brother was scared and thought you suffered from a misguided cultivation. So, when I heard that Ah’Lei has woken up, big brother immediately headed over here. Next time, don’t scare big brother like that, okay?” the teen spoke rapidly as he squeezed Feng Lei’s small body tighter.
“Okay, okay! Please let go, dammit! This young master can’t breathe! Are you not afraid that you’ll suffocate me to death?!” Feng Lei shouted frantically, struggling to get out of the embrace.
“Aiya! Sorry. Big brother just got too excited to see little brother awake and accidentally used too much force. Little brother should cultivate to get stronger so when big brother hugs you again, you won’t suffocate.” the teen let go and spoke amiably with a smile, not minding the foul words as if he was used to it.
From the way he talks and his insistence on the big brother thing, I deduce that this person is Feng Junjie, Feng Lei’s- no.. MY elder brother. Since he was only introduced as a mob character and only appeared once in the novel, I do not know much about him. What I do know is that, he conspired against the protagonist with his two brothers, me and our youngest brother, Feng Ming-hua who also happens to be the main villain. This in turn, lead to his death.
But judging how he is fawning over me so much, could it have been a big misunderstanding and that he is actually just a foolish elder brother who easily bends to the will of his two younger brothers? That is truly possible, right???
“Big brother..?” Feng Lei called out with slight hesitation.
“Yes?” Feng Junjie answered almost immediately with sparkling eyes.
“If… If I were to..get in trouble..even if it’s dangerous and life threatening,.. would you help me?” Feng Lei asked with uncertainty and curiosity.
“What kind of question is that supposed to be? Of course! Big brother will always be here whenever you and Hua’er are in trouble. Even if it’s fighting ancient dragons or climbing a mountain of blades, big brother will not even flinch.” Feng Junjie stated with a proud and dignified expression.
I was mistaken. He is an idiot brother! What kind of person even does that!?
“Stupid.” Feng Lei muttered monotonously.
“Eh??!” Unintentionally, Feng Junjie let out a voice of incredulity.
“I refuse to associate with stupid people.” Feng Lei said arrogantly, appearing to be cold and detached. “Aiya! Feng Lei is acting normally. It means you’re well now, right? Big brother is happy~” Feng Junjie smiled and patted Feng Lei’s head.
“Rest well, Ah’Lei. Tomorrow, Father will have all the younger generation’s direct descendants of the Divine Ice Phoenix to test their talents, potentials, and to see if any of them have a unique constitution. Your awakening today was extremely lucky and any later would have resulted to you missing out on it.” Feng Junjie’s gaze turned serious as he informed Feng Lei.
“Oh. So it’s about that. Did big brother go through this as well?” Feng Lei couldn’t help but ask.
“When I was about your age, I also went through that process along with cousin Feng Shen.” Feng Junjie answered, happy that Feng Lei wanted to know about his trials.
Feng Shen… That name sounds familiar but I can’t seem to remember where I know it from.
“What results did you get?” Feeling tired from using a formal tone, Feng Lei switched to a more casual one.
“I had a semi-divine core and a level one tiger bone. Unfortunately, in our batch, no one had any unique constitution. For talents, they check what type of core you have. There are three types of cores; mortal core, immortal core, and divine core. Each of them also have three stages; semi, pseudo, and perfect. The type of core you have will also determine the speed of your cultivation in the future. For potentials, they will check your root bone. Root bones, like cores, also have three types; panther bone, tiger bone, and dragon bone. These also have three levels; one, two, and three. The type of root bone you have will determine how high you can reach in cultivation and also your limits. For now, this is all you need to know.” Feng Junjie patiently explained to Feng Lei.
“What about constitutions?” Feng Lei asked curiously.
“Constitutions are a special type of body. It acts as both a limiter and a booster to a person’s cultivation and determines what kind of cultivation techniques you can and cannot learn. People with unique constitutions typically reach greater heights than those without but, they are put in extreme danger as well. If a person with a unique constitution practices a technique that is not appropriate for them, they risk the chance of going berserk and crippling their cultivation. This is precisely why the clan conducts these gatherings before the young ones are permitted to cultivate. We, of course, are allowed to practice the most basic breathing techniques to gather inner chi, being the patriarchs sons and all.” Fang Junjie spoke in detail, smiling whenever he saw a trace of emotion on Feng Lei’s face.
“Aiya! It’s getting late! You better get some rest now or else you might not wake up in time for the gathering tomorrow. Good luck! Big brother will be cheering for you.” Feng Junjie hurriedly said and left as fast as he came.
The gathering, huh? This should be interesting. Tomorrow will be the start of my new life as Feng Lei. With this chance given to me, I will live my life to the fullest! I can’t wait~
