Chapter 1 - Zhao Feng's Youth

Morning time. Just as the sky was lit up, while the entire Sun Feather City was still hidden in the darkness before dawn.


Sun Feather City, Zhao Family Clan


"Lashes!"


A young teenager reacts based on instinct, taking off his warm and comfortable blanket, jumping out of his bed and putting on his clothes. All this is done in one breath.


At this moment most of the family sect disciples and even some servants, were still sleeping


This youngster was around 13 to 14 years old, with a slim body and a childish face. He's not very handsome, but he's still handsome.


Especially his eyes, they were clear and filled with fighting will.


"Just a little longer and I can reach the 2nd rank of the Martial Path, then I will make all the other disciples of the Zhao family sect shut up."


The name of this young man was Zhao Feng. Half a year ago, he had come from the Zhao family of Green Leaf Village (side branch family) to the Sun Fur Zhao family sect, relying on his outstanding appearance.


In the Green Leaf Branch, he was a genius for his age and was the first to reach rank 1 of the Martial Path. From then on, he left human life and stepped into the cultivation gate.


At that moment, every old man in the village praised his talent, saying his future was immeasurable..


His family sect, old man, they all had high hopes for him..


However, only Zhao Feng knew how many times more effort he put in compared to his peers, making him a genius in Green Leaf Village


The Green Leaf Village Family. was one of the main side branches of the Zhao family sect. Every 5 years, there would be 2 people recommended to the main sect.


The person who came with Zhao Feng was "Zhao Xue", a girl who reached rank 1 of the Martial Path just 2 months after him.


After leaving Green Leaf Village, Zhao Feng was full of fighting intent, determined to go to the main sect of the Zhao family and show off his skills.


However, only after he had gone to the main sect of the Zhao family did he realize that he was merely a frog at the bottom of a well


In terms of population, the Zhao family of Green Leaf Village only had 100 people, with only 7 to 8 people the same age as him.


However, in the main Zhao family, there were tens of thousands of people, and they controlled most of the land, mines, and resources. Compared to the Zhao family in Green Leaf Village, this family was 100 times bigger!!!


On the side branch in Green Leaf Village, he was considered a talented person, even a genius to some people.. However, in the Zhao sect, he was considered one of the lowest level cultivators for his age, a low outer disciple. .


In the Zhao sect, there were many youths of his age who had broken through to the 2nd rank of the Martial Path. There were even some who were talented, having broken through to rank 3. And according to some rumors, some family geniuses had broken through to the 4th rank..


Faced with this reality, Zhao Feng started to realize that he was nothing compared to them. He was plain stupid and small in comparison.


Also, "Zhao Xue", the beautiful girl who came with him from Green Leaf Village, she slowly became far away from him after entering the Zhao sect. He also increasingly interacted with one of the top 3 disciples among the outer disciples.


Looking back, when "Zhao Xue" was still in the Green Leaf village, he looked at her with admiration and even adored her. However, at that moment, Zhao Feng only focused on cultivating, and ignored him


From then on, he became increasingly desperate and put in more effort in his cultivation after feeling desperate.


He swore: that he would occupy the top position in the Sun Feather City in the Zhao sect.


Otherwise, he would never return to Green Leaf Village!


...******...


After taking a bath, Zhao Feng took a deep breath and then ran towards the family sect martial arts field.


“Hah! Hah!” ..


Zhao Feng took half a step with both fists carrying the wind, and practiced the "Flaming Metal Fists" of the Zhao sect.


"Flaming Metal Fist" was just a core martial art, but Zhao Feng practiced carefully, polishing it beautifully.


In layman terms, ordinary martial arts are divided into 5 categories: Core, Low, Middle, High, and Peak.


Core martial arts, the lowest martial arts, were used to strengthen one's body and blood, the damage rendered by them was extremely limited.


Normally, the higher the rank of a martial art, the higher the damage it caused and the better it was to cultivate.


However, with Zhao Fengs side branch identity, as well as not having any outstanding talent, it was extremely difficult for him to learn martial arts of a higher rank.


“I have stayed at rank 1 Martial Path for a long time. However, in order to break through to rank 2, I am still short on time. ”


After practicing for a while, Zhao Feng's face was showered with sweat, and his breathing rate was fast.


Zhao Fengs talent was not considered bad, the reason why he could not pursue the others was because he did not possess any martial skills of a higher rank. He was also not rich, like the disciples of the main family who could purchase precious pills to increase their cultivation speed.


Some said some Zhao sect disciples would use this precious pill from birth to strengthen their bodies. Before reaching the age of 10, they had broken through the rank 1 Martial Path, gaining certain advantages compared to the others.


At the starting line, Zhao Feng had already separated too far from them. Half an hour later, the sun slowly began to appear.


On the martial arts field, some Zhao sect disciples slowly but surely came, and some laughed and played with each other.


However, when their vision landed on Zhao Feng, their eyes suddenly turned cold, and some even showed contempt.


This attitude was not only aimed at Zhao Feng alone. Sect disciple Zhao looked down on everyone who came from the side branch. In front of those coming from the side branch, they felt a certain amount of strength!


When Zhao Feng was deep in thought, a voice came whistling from behind this: “Little broom! Stop there!"


“Pah!”


A hand as strong as metal hit his shoulder hard.


"That's you."


Zhao Feng lost his balance and almost fell. Fortunately, his core skills were good so he established himself.


The one who came was a young man dressed in black. His body was fit and muscular, and his eyebrows were thick. His eyes had a playful tone in them as he looked down on Zhao Feng who had just solidified himself.


“Zhao Kun! What does this mean?" Zhao Feng had a face full of anger and wanted to hit Zhao Kun.


When Zhao Feng first came to the Zhao sect, the two of them had a bit of a conflict. This was because Zhao Kun was mocking those who came from the side branch and Zhao Feng was dissatisfied with him.


Zhao Kun was the one who took revenge at every possible opportunity, and from then on, when he found Zhao Feng, he would humiliate him in every way.


“Zhao Kun! With your strength, if you can't take this side branch disciple in ten moves, then it won't be cool!”


“Ten moves? Zhao Kun was already at the top of the 2nd rank of the Martial Path, to fight against that kid, I think three moves was enough! ”


"Three moves? If they fought head-on, it wouldn't be that easy!” The nearby students said, ready to watch the show. Most people don't care what happens, so they talk without restraint.


“Three moves? Hahaha” Zhao Kun raised his head and laughed with a look of disdain on his face, “You all underestimated me, Zhao Kun! To defeat this child, I only need one move!”


It only takes one move!


The disciples present had shocked expressions on their faces.


“One movement?”


Zhao Feng's brows furrowed and his face changed. The anger in his heart also rose again.


He and Zhao Kun only had a difference of 1 rank between them. If Zhao Kun did well, maybe he could win in 3 moves. Thas right.


However, only 1 move..


It's an insult!


Facing Zhao Kun's provocative eyes, Zhao Feng immediately calmed down and thought, “I can't fall into this trap. Even if I live through this one move, he will still humiliate me afterwards. ”


After being in the Zhao sect for half a year, Zhao Feng had been beaten several times and had learned to endure it.


“I'm quite tired from training today. Let me rest a few days, and then I'll fight you.”


Zhao Fengs face was expressionless and he then left without a word.


His appearance gave Zhao Kun who was the same age, pause.


1 Step battle?


Zhao Feng's heart raced once more, and thought: "It looks like Zhao Kun won't let me off the hook."


“I must immediately reach the 2nd rank of the Martial Path. Only then can I fight Zhao Kun. ” Zhao Fengs heart stiffened once again.


After leaving the martial arts field, Zhao Feng returned home.


Ever since Zhao Feng managed to enter the Zhao main family sect, his parents had also gained a bit of "fame" and entered the Zhao sect.


This should be the fame of his parents.


However Zhao Feng only felt embarrassed because his appearance in the Zhao sect might make his parents disappointed. He might as well disappoint the people of the older generation who had high expectations of him in the village.


"I'm back."


A deep and calm man walked out. It was Zhao Feng's father. Zhao Tianyang's.


"Feng’er, quickly come and eat!" This was her mother, Zhao Shi, who had a caring expression on her face as she took out some food from the kitchen.


Every time Zhao Feng came home, he could feel the warmth and love here.


“Thank you ma'am.. It tastes so good!” Zhao Feng muttered through his mouth, which was filled with food.


As they ate, Zhao Tianyang and Zhao Shi did not speak, as if something was on their minds.


“Dad, Mom, what are you .” Zhao Feng saw that his parents had serious expressions and looked as if they had something to say. Zhao Tianyang and Zhao Shi looked at each other, and then they let out a long sigh.


“Let me say it. Not long ago, a higher level sect sent some people with a letter. ” Zhao Tianyang paused for a moment.


"Higher sect level?" Zhao Feng did not understand.


Zhao Tianyang had a serious face and said: "The sect has now made some new rules. If the side branch youth cannot break through to rank 2, they will not have the right to participate in the ‘contest family’ debate. If. before the age of fifteen years, they cannot reach the 3rd rank, they will be sent back to their branch.”


Whaaat!


Zhao Fengs heart paused for a moment and his face changed drastically.


The family sparring competition was where all the youths struggled to show off their skills. The ones who win will get rich rewards and have the chance to become inner disciples, who will be fully trained by the family.


Thus, the family sparring competition was an opportunity to transform into a dragon from a fish to an outer disciple.


If they lost the chance to enter, it was considered the same as being banished by the sect!


And the rule that made Zhao Feng's heart cold was the last – Before the age of 15, those who were unable to reach the 3rd rank of the martial path, would be sent back to the branch family.


“No, no, this cannot be true.” Zhao Feng's voice was soft, and both of his hands were clenched.


He and his parents would not have the face to be sent back to Green Leaf Village.


"This rule is only set for side branch disciples." His mother Zhao Qi had an expression of dissatisfaction on her face.


“Mother, Dad, it's okay. I will train even harder and reach the 2nd rank of Martial Path before the family sparring competition.” Zhao Feng clenched his teeth and said while trembling.


“There are still two months left, and to register, you need to register a month in advance. To break through to rank 2 in a month might not be easy. ”


Zhao Tian Tang shook his head.


Just a month?


Zhao Fengs eyes dimmed as if he had fallen into the darkness.


If there are 2 months left, and he doubles his efforts, there is a 20 to 30 percent chance of success. Yet for a breakthrough in a month, he had no confidence at all!


After remaining silent for a long time, Zhao Shi wiped the corner of his eyes and spoke softly: “Feng’er, it doesn't matter if you fail you still make us proud. The most will happen is we return to the village of Leaf Green and live a normal life.”


"Yes! If we go back to Green Leaf Village, you will still be the most talented there – I would rather you be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix!”


Zhao Tianyang nodded in agreement.


Being parents, they prefer their children to be safe, even if their lives are normal..


Back to the village of Leaf Green?


"No!"


Zhao Feng shook his head angrily, "I will not return to Green Leaf Village to live a normal life!"


He swore an oath. To perform well, earn a place in the Zhao sect and in the Sun Fleece City, and own his own land.


His heart craved the 9th rank of the Martial Path and the land that lies outside the outside world.


How can I be willing to lose and come back this way?


Zhao Feng refrained from crying, shouting, and just ran out of the house.


“Fengers! Don't be stubborn ”


His parents called.


"explosion!"


Suddenly, thunder and lightning howled in the sky and rain began to fall outside. Zhao Feng stored despair in his heart, howling back into the sky and running into the rain. At this moment, lightning shone everywhere, making Zhao Fengs face glow.


"Not good!"


Zhao Feng felt pressure directed at him, so, as he looked up, he was surprised by what he saw.


From birth, he had never seen such lightning, clinging tightly together, like a spider web.


At that short moment, the lightning above seemed to be under some sort of force, which caused its dimension to crack.


“Siiiiiiiii ”


Black lines coming from space. It passed through the lightning and caused a beautiful ripple to appear that looked like a dream.


It is impossible to imagine what “black” line is, it can even ignore the power of lightning.


“Pah! Pa!”


Zhao Feng felt his legs numb, his hair and clothes turn black, and thunder rang in his ears nonstop.


The whole world suddenly became silent.


"This is"


His face was white, looking down at his feet he saw a strange black marble, like an eyeball. It was this item that caused the black line.


“Ping! Peng!”


Those eye-like marbles looked like they had life, letting out thumping sounds as Zhao Feng "gaze over" right in the eyes.


However, that eyeball bang seemed to be in sync with his own heart, making Zhao Feng feel friendly.


At this moment, he felt some sort of summoning.


"Does this item have a life?" He held his breath, ready for any signs of danger. But before he could move.


“Poom!”


Marble like eyeballs turned into shadows as it shot into Zhao Fengs left eye.


“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!.” Zhao Feng shouted and then fainted.


Before he fainted, he only had one thought: “I messed up my eyes have been blinded!”
