Chapter 1: The First Coming
Rumble!
As a series of dazzling lightning bolts pierced the sky of Atlanta, the entire city of tens of millions of people was reflected in a gloomy blue, and the heavy rain began to drift down, and the thin rain lines enveloped the entire city in an instant. And the roaring thunder and tremors also sounded one after another, piercing the clouds and cracking stones, deafening.
In a narrow gray alleyway south of Atlanta, a pale young man stood beside a pool of stagnant water, looking down at the unfamiliar face reflected in the water.
Li Mochen: A citizen of the United States of America, now sixteen years old, also known as Andre Lee Wildenstein, half-breed, a student at Lyndon College in Atlanta, and a third-level magical swordsman. His father, Li Chunchu (deceased), and his mother, Elena Wildenstein (deceased), are the nineteenth in the Wildenstein family succession line. Fifteen minutes ago, sudden death due to unknown causes.
Tao Ran: Born in the realm of the original firmament, he entered the Shenxiao Gate at the age of ten to cultivate, and after half a month, he channeled qi into the body; he built a foundation at the age of thirteen; he was born at the age of sixteen; he was born at the age of twenty-two, and he condensed the golden pill at the age of twenty-two; he became a child at the age of thirty-seven; he was a Mahayana at the age of sixty-four, and was canonized by the Langya Heavenly Dynasty, known as the "Shenxiao Wuji Purple Void Immortal King".
In the forty-seventh year of the Langya Heavenly Dynasty, the demon catastrophe of the realm of the original dome rose, the dragon and snake rose from the land, and the Shenzhou Bandang led the immortal sect to fight for twenty-four years as the head of the Shenxiao sect, and killed the demons. In the decisive battle, he broke through the wall of the heavenly dome, entered the infinite void alone, and ventured to pursue the Nine Heavens Desire Demon Dugu Heaven's will.
It's a pity that the ending is not very good, although he finally tried his best to kill this demon, but he himself also fell into a situation where he almost died together-
As the fragments of memories surging in his mind were gradually sorted out by 'Tao Ran', he couldn't help but rub the corners of his forehead a little irritably, and at the same time raised his head and looked at the strange world in front of him.
It was a narrow alleyway, lined with tall blocks of squares on the left and right, and bright light shone through the windows. There are also the back doors of several storefronts not far away, and there are also colorful neon lights shining. So that here, although it is shrouded in the night of the rainstorm, it is still clearly visible.
According to the original owner of the body, this is the backstreet of the Atlanta Storm Stadium, and he is here today to participate in a regular competition, the mixed cold weapon fighting competition organized by the National High School Athletic Association (NHSAA) in America.
"Strange world, such a rich Yuan Spirit?"
After a while, the look in Tao Ran's eyes became extremely rich. In addition to shock, there are more chagrin, regret, loss and uneasiness, and even imitation.
Especially when he reached out his fingers and tried to condense the mana into his fingertips, only to be swallowed up by the feeling of weakness that surged out of his spirit, and the sharp pain that was torn to pieces.
After borrowing rebirth, the spirit is seriously injured, the true yuan does not exist, and in a short time, it may not be able to go back-
This thought appeared very clearly in Tao Ran's mind, making his mind uneasy.
The Nine Heavens Desire Demon Dugu Heavenly Will is dead, but the five gods and demons under his command are still there, and they can still cause trouble in the world; within the sect, there are internal ghosts that have not been eliminated, and they are in charge of the center of the mountain; there are also the contemporary emperors of the Langya Heavenly Dynasty, who are afraid of their Shenxiao Gate and want to get rid of them for a long time; in addition, the 'Heavenly Dao Gate' in the south has almost not been damaged in the demon tribulation, and after this catastrophe, I am afraid that it will inevitably have a covetous heart for the many spiritual veins in the Central Plains.
This Central Plains Great Sect, which has been inherited for 1,300 years and handed over to him by the master, has been plagued by internal and external troubles, full of holes, and is in danger of extinction of the Taoist system.
The heavy rain poured down, and Tao Ran was already drenched from the inside out. At this time, it was early winter, the cold wind was cold, and the feeling of dampness and coldness that could come from the surface of his body could not extinguish the heat in his chest, and he could not even cool down a little.
It's a demon!
From the time these complicated thoughts began to appear in his sea of minds, Tao Ran had already realized this. The spirit was seriously injured, and the remnant soul of 'Li Mochen' was fused, causing a huge flaw in his almost perfect state of mind cultivation.
At this time, if his mind is regarded as a city, then all the walls of this city are in a state of collapse, so that all the demonic thoughts inside and outside the city can enter and exit freely.
It's one thing to understand, but it's another thing to be able to control and suppress this demon.
Tao Ran clenched his teeth, and his hands were tightly clasped into the flesh. A red thread had already appeared at the center of his eyebrows, and it spread like a spider's web, and soon crawled all over his face.
At this moment, someone slapped him on the shoulder: "Andre, you damn it, what are you doing here without anything? Even if you want to calm down, you don't need to run over to get drenched in the rain? Do you know that I'm going crazy looking for you?"
Tao Ran's expression froze, the luster in his eyes gradually returned to clarity, and the blood-red lines on his face were also rapidly fading.
When he turned around, he found a black boy about fifteen or sixteen years old, with pale black skin and naturally curly hair, standing behind him panting.
Tao Ran's mind also flashed memories of this person in an instant.
This is his friend William Jacques, who lives in the same neighborhood as the original owner of the body, and is not only the same age as him, but also attends the same school. Coupled with similar bloodlines, after Li Mochen transferred to Linden College, the two sides quickly became inseparable friends.
But Tao Ran's heart didn't know why, a trace of displeasure floated, and it was directly shown between his eyebrows.
"OK, OK, Inkdust, Ink, I know, you don't like it when I call you Andre. ”
Willem Jacques raised his hands with a look of surrender: "Can you go back with me now? If you abstain from voting this time because of your absence, our Miss Louise will probably be angry. ”
"Louise? Louise Linden?"
Tao Ran felt that the name was somewhat familiar, and couldn't help but murmur. At the same time, a picture quickly flashed in his mind.
It was a girl with long pale blonde hair like a waterfall, almost impeccable facial features, and as delicate and beautiful as a Barbie doll.
Louise Linden, the sole direct heir to the Alexander Linden family, is currently sixteen years old, a student at Lyndon Academy, and serves as the school's student council president and president of the Cold Weapons MMA Club.
"Which Louise could it be?"
William rolled his eyes, and then forcibly pulled his 'friend' inside: "Amo, you don't know, Elena and John Richardson, the two of them, suddenly said that they wanted to transfer schools when the game started, and they directly abstained and admitted defeat." Our club lost 15 of our 19 individual matches today, so we won't be able to score points for the team qualifiers in the first half of next year. How can this make our eldest lady embarrassed? Lyndon College will fall to the bottom of the all-American rankings. ”
Tao Ran followed him in a daze, and at this moment, his mind was already filled with a large amount of information.
NHSAA, short for National High School Athletic Association, is an association of tens of thousands of high schools across America. Its main event is the various sports leagues held every year.
Among them, the most eye-catching are mixed old steel (MOS, mixed cold weapons) and mixed martial arts (MMA, mixed hand-to-hand combat).
- In this world where magic is flourishing and people of all abilities are in vogue. These two combat sports can be said to be the number one sports of all countries in the world, and related events also have the largest audience groups.
The National High School Athletic Association's mixed cold weapons and mixed hand-to-hand combat competitions are the largest combat events in the whole of America after the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association).
For many of America's private schools that pride themselves on having and nurturing more magical professionals, ranking and achieving success in both events is a matter of life and death - it is about their reputation, their students, and the government's funding.
And Louise Linden is not only the eldest lady of the Lyndon family, but also the future owner of Lyndon College.
The reason why this condescending nobleman gave up the four aristocratic academies where the children of the powerful gathered and entered Linden College was to shoulder the mission of reversing the decline of Linden College in cold weapon mixed martial arts in recent years and obtaining a reasonable ranking for the academy.
"Your opponent this time is Ikabode of the Cadiga Academy, I have inquired, this person is already a fourth-level magical swordsman, and his swordsmanship is superb. Last year, when he was in 10th grade, he reached the round of 72 in Atlanta in the individual competition. Although there was an element of luck, now that a year has passed, his current strength must be even stronger. So I'm not optimistic about the outcome of your battle. ”
William Jacques said with a wry smile: "But even if you lose, you must not abstain." No one in the club expects you to win him, but if you dare to give up, I bet that the scholarship you want will be useless. Our Miss Louise has no place to vent her worries. Hey, Amo, how about you react, why do you look like a wooden man? Are you too nervous? Oh, shit!"
At this time, in the corridor they were walking, the voice of the female radio was remembered: "P12 Episode 5, Ekaribod Wood VS Andre Lee Wildenstein, starts at 20:15——"
William stopped talking nonsense and pulled Tao Ran forward like crazy. The latter was still in a trance, and the information that poured out from the depths of the original owner's memory overwhelmed him. But Tao Ran thought to himself that it was better than thinking about it again and going crazy directly.
By the time he came back to his senses, he had put on a full set of armor-like armor and carried an unopened one-handed sword, and was pushed into the ring by Willem Jacques.
Opposite him was an unusually burly man, also wearing a protective suit and a face hidden behind his helmet. His eyes were fierce, and he smiled a little: "Hey!BOY, are you stupid by my name Ikabod? If that's the case, then you still have one last chance, I allow you to surrender and admit defeat, which will make you suffer less." ”
