The endless grasslands, the undulating grass swaying with the wind, the tallest over a man’s height, staring for too long and you can’t see the details, just an endless green ocean.
Other than the wind there is also the extremely faint sound of a creek flowing, in this kind of environment, no one would know how wide the stream was unless they got close.
The sun had set halfway, leaving behind a faint red dusk, Li Changan was hiding deep in the grass, his whole body buried in the mud, the ice-cold river water flowing past his side.
The temperature was dropping bit by bit, he didn’t know how much longer he could hold out.
But fortunately his target arrived within the expected time.
A burly man parted the grass, stopping stock still for a good half a minute before taking a step forward to look left and right.
After confirming there was no danger around, the burly man squatted by the creek, scooping up water to wash his body covered in bloodstains.
Just as the burly man splashed the clear water on his face, Li Changan opened his eyes, abruptly getting up, his bone dagger made from human bones in hand stabbing towards the burly man’s waist.
In this age where superpowers were rampant, the superpower of [Metal Control] wasn’t uncommon, but controlling bones was extremely rare, and bones were more convenient, with them everywhere in this trial space.
The burly man reacted extremely quickly, instantly getting up and rapidly retreating in the shortest time possible.
Li Changan crawled close to the ground, originally aiming for the artery in the burly man’s neck, but because of the burly man’s getting up, the bone dagger finally pierced the burly man’s waist in the end.
Taking advantage of the burly man grabbing towards him, Li Changan gritted his teeth, shifted his weight forward and pushed his wrist forward, the bone dagger opening up a nearly thirty centimeter long gash at the burly man’s waist.
“Damn it!” The burly man let out a roar, finally catching Li Changan’s left shoulder, his freed left hand slapping towards Li Changan’s temple.
His shoulder caught square on, before the burly man could exert any strength, Li Changan’s left shoulder sank down, his arm automatically dislocating, slipping from the burly man’s hand like a fish.
I still have a chance to punch him! Li Changan chanted in his heart, bent his knees sinking his shoulders, flinging the bone dagger at the burly man’s eyes, his freed right fist aimed straight at the gash ripped open at the burly man’s waist, better to break one finger than ten.
Having grabbed nothing but air with one hand, the burly man finally came to his senses, dodging the oncoming bone dagger, his throat lightly trembling as he let out a “Die!”
Though the volume wasn’t loud, in Li Changan’s ears it was like thunder, despite knowing it was the effect of the other’s superpower, under this stimulation, his brain still lost awareness for an instant.
Ten years of daily practice in close combat, even with his brain dazed now, Li Changan’s body still didn’t stop moving, this punch rushing into the wound at the burly man’s waist, one punch shattering the already fragile waist.
At the same time, the burly man’s fist landed on Li Changan’s chest, his chest visibly concaving in, Li Changan flying back from this punch to crash into the grass.
“Just what is your superpower!” The burly man covered his wound on one knee, the intense pain making him dizzy, he knew he no longer had a chance to kill Li Changan.
Not far away Li Changan lay limply on the ground, somewhat unwillingly listening to the sound ringing by his ear.
“This Wuxuan Trial has ended, detected 2 survivors, victory will be decided according to kill points...”
“You are not the victor of this trial, transporting you out of the trial space now, please do not move about randomly, transport countdown beginning...”
A white light flashed before his eyes, half a minute later Li Changan opened his eyes, he was already standing in the transport room, first he put his dislocated left arm back in place, then walked towards the left side.
At the reception on the left he received a “consolation fee” of ten thousand dollars, returning to his room at the Trials Facility to simply rinse off, then changed into a new set of clothes and left the facility.
Despite the sun both outside and in, the dazzling sunlight outside always made Li Changan feel it was wrapped in plastic film.
Trials Facility, the holy land in the eyes of superhumans of this age.
Throwing people within a certain area to fight each other and decide on a victor, the victor accepts the baptism of the Trials Facility, the baptism allowing superpowers to mutate, some people even awakened a second superpower.
It also served to test superpowers, the vast majority of people in this world have entered and left a Trials Facility before.
Glancing back at the sharp, thin Trials Facility, Li Changan left without any reluctance, flagging down an unmanned taxi to leave, his injuries weren’t light, but he wanted to sleep well even more.
The fight just now he only seemed to gain the upper hand, but actually he was the one being hunted for over a month, that was just a counterattack calculated for timing, catching the other unprepared, not giving them a chance to use their superpower.
It could barely be called a glorious defeat, but if others knew he had injured a high-level superhuman to this extent with the body of an ordinary person without any superpowers, probably many would think he was the true victor.
Unfortunately he couldn’t even answer the other’s question, no superpower meant no superpower, no matter how skilled he became in the art of killing, he couldn’t narrow the gap between him and superhumans.
Everyone developed superpowers after the age of sixteen, only the strength differed, someone like him could only disguise himself, disguising himself as someone whose superpowers weren’t very obvious.
Life like this wasn’t easy, his only confidence was in his skills at killing.
Participating in trials, gaining victory and accepting the baptism to awaken superpowers, this was his life’s pursuit.
But gaining victory was difficult in itself, there were many stronger than him.
Arriving at the door of his home in the civilian district, Li Changan tidied his collar, enduring the pain from his chest injuries, revealing an ordinary smile.
He knocked on the door, urgent footsteps sounding from inside, the door opening swiftly.
“Mom, I’m home.”
Seeing the son she hadn’t seen in half a year at the door, Huang Shengliu secretly relaxed, originally wanting to pull her son in, but forcefully held herself back, scolding instead.
“You still know to come home, gone half a year without a call home, might as well die outside, what are you coming back for! You went for trials didn’t you!”
“I didn’t. I found roadwork, there was no signal there, I didn’t go for trials.” Li Changan explained hurriedly.
Huang Shengliu stood with hands on hips giving way, continuing to scold, “Standing outside the door, want others to laugh at our family? Get in!”
After Li Changan entered the house, Huang Shengliu stretched out a hand, “Since you went working, then give the household expenses! Ten thousand a year isn’t too much to ask right!”
Reaching into his pocket, Li Changan was truly embarrassed, only carefully taking out two thousand to hand over, “Mom, my pay hasn’t come in yet, I only have this much now, take it first.”
“Half a year without coming home, just two thousand? You think electricity and water at home are free!” Huang Shengliu unconsciously raised her voice.
“The family relies on your sister and I, you come back once a year if we’re lucky, now you finally come back after so long and give two thousand, you might as well not come back!
Next time I’ll rent out your room to others for storage, you’re just like your dad, don’t ever come back in this lifetime!”
Li Changan could only smile wryly as he walked towards his room.
His mother’s voice sounded behind him, “You must’ve eaten your fill outside, don’t need to keep dinner for you in future, might as well throw out the food in the pot!”
“Mom, I’m tired, gonna rest first then eat.” Li Changan said helplessly shutting the door, after hearing his mother return to her room, only then did Li Changan collapse on the bed.
Half a year of fighting and fleeing, not a single peaceful day, in that place where only one could emerge victorious, death was far simpler than eating or drinking.
Li Changan closed his eyes.
“I will awaken my superpowers, next time I will definitely emerge victorious from the trial!” After chanting it to himself a few times Li Changan fell deeply asleep.
He didn’t notice that the originally fatal wound on his chest had inexplicably improved somewhat.
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
