Chapter 01 Memories that popped up out of nowhere

"......Huh" In the darkness, a figure suddenly stood up, and Huo Ran opened his eyes.

The sudden sharp pain in the chest of the "forehead ......" instantly made the thin figure who had just straightened up tremble slightly, and let out an inaudible cry of pain.

"Hmm......" Wang Yue frowned, his teeth biting his lip tightly, and he swallowed the moan back into his stomach.

Judging from Wang Yue's experience and personal experience, at least three ribs were broken!

With the severe pain, his consciousness slowly recovered, and the previous experience also appeared in Wang Yue's mind completely.

"Wang Hao, you deceive people too much!" Wang Yue's immature and pale face looked particularly hideous because of extreme anger.

Wang Yue, one of the four major families in Zhenyuan City, is a descendant of the Wang family, and his father Wang Ming is the last head of the Wang family!

It stands to reason that as the head of Wang Yue's father's family, no one dares to go against Wang Yue, but in fact, Wang Yue's status in the Wang family is not even as good as an ordinary sweeper, so it's no wonder that someone broke three ribs with a heavy hand.

And all the reasons are from Wang Yue.

The world in which Wang Yue lives, called Tianlong Continent, is a world where martial arts are respected, and the status of all people is divided by the level of strength. Wang Yue's father, Wang Ming, is one of the top three masters in Zhenyuan City, so he should become the head of the Wang family, and the Wang family can be ranked as one of the four major families in Zhenyuan City because of Wang Ming's strength.

However, Wang Yue, as the son of Wang Ming, one of the three masters of Zhenyuan City, was in the womb of Wang Yue, Wang Yue's mother was unfortunately hit by a strange thunderbolt, although she was fine, but Wang Yue may be because of the congenital injury, born dull, extremely slow to cultivate martial arts, is almost fifteen years old, but it is only the strength of the triple tempering period.

Originally, with Wang Ming, one of the three masters in Zhenyuan City, Wang Yue was a waste and could not inherit the position of the head of the family, but he could be well taken care of and live a leisurely life.

However, Zhenyuan City, the northernmost barbaric land of the Tianlong Continent near the Frost Great Wasteland, has fierce folk customs, and fighting is quite common, and even the four major families often have bloody conflicts.

Zhenyuan City is the closest city in Chu Yunguo to the Frost Forest and the Frost Great Wasteland, there are countless fierce beasts in the Frost Forest and the Frost Great Wasteland, and there are even powerful spirit beasts that have opened their spiritual intelligence.

This makes Zhenyuan City the largest gathering place for martial artists in Chu Yun Kingdom!

Countless warriors brought back a large number of fierce beasts and even the furs of spirit beasts, bones and spirit cores of spirit beast soul essence crystallization from the frost forest, and the four major families of Zhenyuan City, including the Wang family, relied on purchasing fierce beasts or spirit beast furs and other items in the hands of martial artists to refine pills and make profits.

In the past, in order to compete for more fierce beasts and spirit beasts, the four major families had a protracted war, and the clansmen of the four major families had suffered countless casualties.

Later, under the adjustment of the city lord of Zhenyuan City, the four major families decided that the young disciples of the family would hold a competition every four years, and the ranking of the young disciples of the four major families would decide the share of the acquisition of fierce beasts and spirit beast fur spirit cores.

As the only son of the head of the Wang family, Wang Yue is obliged to take on the responsibility of participating in the competition of young disciples of the four major families, but Wang Yue's strength is only the triple stage of quenching, only a little stronger than the martial artist who has just cultivated, even if he participates in the competition, he is the most bottom-of-the-line existence.

It is precisely for this reason that Wang Yue's father Wang Ming's position as the head of the family is in jeopardy, and there are often elders and clansmen of the Wang family who take advantage of this to challenge Wang Ming, wanting to abolish Wang Ming's position as the head of the family and set up another head of the family.

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Ming had reached the peak of the middle stage of the Transcendent Realm, there was no one in the entire Wang family, and even in Zhenyuan City, he was considered a strong man, I am afraid that Wang Ming's position as the head of the family would have been lost long ago.

But even so, the pressure on Wang Ming is also extremely great, in order to create better living conditions for Wang Yue, in order to allow Wang Yue to live in the Wang family without worry, Wang Ming took the initiative to lead the family hunting team into the frost forest to hunt high-level fierce beasts and spirit beasts, in order to gain the support of the family elders and the recognition of Wang Yue.

However, how can he not get his shoes wet when he often walks by the river? Even if Wang Ming has the strong strength of the transcendent realm, in the Frost Forest, a wilderness where fierce beasts and spirit beasts are endless, the transcendent realm is not an invincible existence at all.

Just a few months ago, when Wang Ming led the hunting team into the Frost Forest again, he encountered the fourth-order spirit beast Howling Moon Snow Wolf King, in order to save the clansmen of the hunting team, Wang Ming led the Howling Moon Snow Wolf King into the depths of the Frost Forest alone, and never came back.

Wang Ming's murder is auspicious and his whereabouts are unknown, which makes Wang Yue's status in the Wang family plummet, and no one has cared about the monthly money and pills that should have been there. Even the maids around Wang Yue who were originally serving him were transferred away.

Wang Yue endured all this.

However, just today, Wang Yue's father Wang Ming's 100-day taboo, when Wang Yue wanted to go to the ancestral hall to worship, he was blocked and embarrassed by Wang Hao, the deacon in charge of the ancestral hall, and spoke sarcastically, cursing Wang Yue for having a mother and not a mother, and a disaster star who was a father and a mother.

This annoyed Wang Yue at once, and rushed towards Wang Hao like crazy!

Wang Hao, who has been refining the essence of bones for more than ten years, does not care that Wang Yue is the son of the previous head of the family, nor does he care that Wang Yue is only the strength of the three times of the quenching period, he taught Wang Yue a hard lesson, and broke Wang Yue's three ribs.

"This Wang Hao, when he saw me before, was always respectful, why did he suddenly turn his face and deny people, and dare to be so cruel to me? Even if I am no longer the son of the head of the family, I am still the descendant of the Wang family! It seems that someone instructed him to do this. Otherwise, if he is a little deacon of the side branch, he will not dare to be ruthless to the children of the Wang family if he gives him a few more dares...... Who instructed it?" Wang Yue, who calmed down, frowned and thought about it.

"Squeak", just when Wang Yue was frowning and thinking, Wang Yue's door was suddenly pushed open, and a thin figure sneaked in like a cat, and then quickly closed the door, looked out at the door for a while, and was sure that no one was following, so he tiptoed towards Wang Yue's bedside.

"Young Master, are you okay?" Before he could reach the bedside, the figure couldn't wait to ask in a crying whisper.

"I'm fine...... Wang Yue sighed, his frowning brows stretched slightly, barely squeezing out a smile, and his eyes looking at the thin figure were full of faint warmth.

"It's okay! This is a Nourishing Yuan Pill that I just exchanged for my whole body belongings, which can nourish vitality and treat internal injuries. Young master, hurry up and eat......" The thin figure looked up at the black and thin little face with tears, grinned, and said with a concerned face.

"Ziling, ...... you" Wang Yue's heart was hot, and he wanted to say something of thanks, but he couldn't say it.

"Young master, you have taken the Yangyuan Dan, hurry up and take it, I have to go back quickly! If the housekeeper sees me coming to you, he will beat me to death......" The thin maid named Ziling hurriedly pressed the jade bottle with the pill in her palm on Wang Yue's palm as if she was afraid that Wang Yue would not accept it, and then walked to the door without looking back, tiptoed open the door, and left quietly.

Ziling, originally Wang Yue's personal maid, has followed Wang Yue's side since he was a child, and has a very good relationship with Wang Yue, Wang Yue never treats Ziling as a maid, but as his sister.

However, with the disappearance of Wang Yue's father Wang Ming, Wang Yue's status and treatment deteriorated, and finally even Ziling, a personal maid, was transferred away by the housekeeper.

"Alas...... Do I have to live alone like this all my life? Am I destined to live a miserable life? Am I powerless to do anything about my father's disappearance?...... I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!" Wang Yue pinched the jade bottle in his hand, and unconsciously crushed the jade bottle alive, cutting his palm without noticing.

Just when Wang Yue was extremely sad and excited, suddenly, an incredible picture suddenly appeared in Wang Yue's mind, which did not belong to his memory!

An extremely vague figure that was not tall stood quietly in mid-air, and in the void, thick blue-purple lightning suddenly fell from the sky and slashed down at the figure's head!

Nine huge blue-purple lightning bolts, hundreds of kilometers long, pierced the sky and illuminated the vast land, and the vague figure under the lightning, it seemed extremely small, like an ant that would be pinched to death at any time.

Just when the nine lightning bolts were about to slash at the top of his head, suddenly, the figure moved, and he gently threw a punch!

Just one punch, seemingly extremely slow and casual, plain, as if a punch was thrown out as if he yawned when he got up, but this punch seemed to be in line with the laws of heaven and earth, and the nine desperate blue-purple lightning bolts were like burning matchsticks, and they were suddenly beaten into clusters of shining sparks, scattered and splashed, and disappeared in the blink of an eye......

"Eh, this ......" Wang Yue's brain suddenly short-circuited, as if he had been struck by the blue-purple lightning, and the whole person trembled violently like chaff at once, and drops of sweat flowed down Wang Yue's cheeks and into his neck.

Soon, Wang Yue's whole body was soaked with cold sweat......

With a "bang", Wang Yue rolled his eyes and fainted again.
