In a dark room, the young man was lying lazily on the bed, mumbling to himself, "I didn't expect the owner of this body to be called Ye Chen as well. He looks like me, could it be that this body was prepared for me?"
In his previous life, Ye Chen was a physics student in a university in the 21st century. He was quite smart and observant. But because of an accident in the lab, all the machines exploded and his soul was sent to this world.
If it was a normal person who was suddenly sent to a strange environment, and their soul entered a strange body, they would definitely go crazy. But Ye Chen did not feel anything, he was just a little surprised.
Thinking about this, Ye Chen started to wonder if he was a psycho. If he did not feel anything when something this big happened, then what else could he feel?
In this short period of memory fusion, Ye Chen had already digested all the memories of this body. In the memory, he was a disciple of a big family. He entered the Sky Cloud Martial School at the age of twelve, and became an outer disciple at the age of fourteen.
The only thing that was criticized was that in the two years between the ages of twelve and fourteen, besides training his Qi to the Mortal Realm Stage 4, the body's owner did not make any progress in other areas. He had only trained the basic Cloud Sword Art to the third movement.
"Looks like if I want to survive in this world, I have to get rid of the stupid title." Ye Chen was not happy that the body's owner was called stupid. After all, they were now one, and he, who was not stupid, did not want to be called stupid.
After making up his mind, Ye Chen rolled his eyes, he could not help but remember the things that happened before he was twelve years old.
The Sky Cloud Martial School was located in the north of the Windy Nation. Together with the other four martial schools in the country, they were known as "One Valley, One Village, Three Schools". Other than the five most powerful forces, the eight big families controlled the Windy Nation's martial arts world. Even the Royal Court tried their best not to mess with them.
And Ye Chen's family was one of the eight big families, the Ye Family.
The Ye Family developed more than two hundred years ago. Their main business was tea and silk, and they had accumulated a huge amount of wealth. As the saying goes, no matter how much wealth you have, you still need to have enough strength to protect it. Otherwise, it would just be an unguarded piece of fat meat that everyone wanted to take a bite out of.
After experiencing countless setbacks and extortion, the head of the Ye Family at that time pondered over the painful experience and decided to use his strong financial resources to develop the family into a martial arts family to compete with other forces. That was how the Ye Family, one of the Eight Great Families of today, came into being.
As a descendant of the Ye Clan, everyone had their eyes on the top of their heads when they went out. Others couldn't wait to curry favor with them, but Ye Chen wasn't one of them. The reason was that his cultivation talent was too terrible, which was extremely disappointing.
Fortunately, her father was the current leader of the Ye family, and her mother was an outer elder of the Rudra Martial School, one of the top three martial schools, so no one dared to mock or disrespect them openly.
Even so, Ye Chen was still bullied quite a bit.
What he remembered the most was that his eldest uncle's son, his second son, and his third uncle's son would pick on him from time to time. They would even humiliate him in a secluded place. Even his maid, Chrysanthemum, was often looked down upon by the other maids. Every time, she would come to him and cry, complaining about her grievances.
"F * ck, I have to get my revenge." Ye Chen's eyes were filled with hatred, and he clenched his fists tightly.
It was not unreasonable for him to be so angry. Right now, he was a combination of two Ye Chen's. He had both the memories and emotions of his previous life, and the memories and emotions of his current life. In other words, both Ye Chen's were him, and there was no difference between them.
No matter which one of Ye Chen's was humiliated, he would be furious.
Trying his best to control his emotions, Ye Chen continued to recall —
The Ye family's disciples started training their Qi from the age of ten. Only those who reached Mortal Realm Stage 2 before the age of twelve would be chosen by the top five martial institutions of the Windy Nation to become their disciples. However, to become an outer disciple, one had to at least reach Mortal Realm Stage 4.
Maybe it was because of the pressure, or maybe it was because he didn't want to embarrass his parents, but Ye Chen managed to reach Mortal Realm Stage 2 within two years, and then he reached Mortal Realm Stage 4. He barely crossed the threshold and became an outer disciple of the Sky Cloud Martial School.
However, compared to the other disciples of the Ye family, he was still far behind. His eldest uncle's son, Ye Feng, and his third uncle's son, Ye Ming, both reached Mortal Realm Stage 4 at the age of twelve. The most powerful ones were his second uncle's son, Ye Tang, and his fourth uncle's daughter, Ye Xuan. Both of them reached Mortal Realm Stage 5 at the age of twelve. They were definitely the rare geniuses of the Ye family.
According to the difference in talent, the martial institutions they entered were naturally different.
Ye Chen's talent was the worst, so he entered the rank 9 Sky Cloud Martial School. Ye Feng and Ye Ming entered the rank 8 Purple Sun Martial School. Ye Tang entered the rank 7 North Snow Martial Academy. Ye Xuan, who was as famous as him, also entered the rank 7 Emerald Martial School.
"There is only one year left until the Ye family's triennial family meeting. I can't lose face." Getting off the bed, Ye Chen washed up and went to the yard with his sword.
The Sword Cloud Art had nine movements in total. The first six did not have names, and the last three were named "Gap Seeking", "Flowing Clouds and Water", and "Luminous Movement".
Closing his eyes, the Sword Cloud Art's Heart Diagram appeared in his mind. Ye Chen stretched out his great steel sword and started to train from the first movement.
Different from the past, when Ye Chen swung his sword, he did not feel any obstruction at all. It was like a river flowing when the channel is formed.
Crack!
A flying leaf was cut in half, but Ye Chen did not feel anything and continued to swing.
The first movement, the second movement, the third movement … the seventh movement.
Gradually, Ye Chen's sword attacks were freed from the restraints. Not only was his sword dancing speed extremely fast, but his movements were also light and agile. He was able to move freely without any restraints. Soon, he reached the seventh movement, "Finding the Gap". All of a sudden, the sword light was like an agile mudfish, easily passing through a few different fallen leaves.
Putting away his sword, Ye Chen was also a little surprised.
For beginners, even the most basic martial arts were hard to learn. This was not only because of talent, but also because of the adaptability of new things. It was just like learning to swim. At the beginning, because of the fear of water, it was very difficult to learn. But once you got used to it, you would be able to do more difficult movements and even create your own movements.
All in all, it was not hard to go from low to high, but it was hard to go from nothing to something.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen emptied his mind and started to perform the Sword Cloud Art.
The first movement … the seventh movement.
The first movement … the seventh movement.
…
After performing the Sword Cloud Art more than ten times, Ye Chen finally understood the eighth movement, "Flowing Clouds and Water".
Under the morning sun, the great steel sword reflected the white sword light, it was like the clouds in the sky, or the water in the stream, endless.
Correspondingly, the Qi inside his body was also like the water, it slowly sped up, completing one small cycle after another, and finally returned to his Dantian, and then flowed out again, repeating the cycle.
Whoosh!
His Dantian slightly swelled, and Ye Chen woke up with a start.
"Middle Mortal Realm Stage 4? That's so easy. " Ye Chen knew himself well. He knew that it would take at least a week to get from Early Mortal Realm Stage 4 to Middle Mortal Realm Stage 4, but he did it in just an hour.
There must be something wrong with this abnormal situation. Ye Chen understood that there must be a reason for this change.
