"Grandmaster?"
Who had broken through to the Grandmaster level?
That wisp of pressure just now couldn’t have been mistaken. It even instilled fear in her, a mid-level Transform Force expert.
But after much deliberation, a petite silver figure flashed through her mind.
"Is it her? That girl named Dong'er?"
Chen Ningshuang's mood instantly sank to the bottom.
She never expected that girl to become a Grandmaster.
"How is this possible? How could she have advanced so quickly? How did she break through?"
She had thought Dong'er's talent was terrifying enough—a Transform Force expert at such a young age, a level of talent that even made her feel inferior.
But now... she was just scared. A Grandmaster at such a young age?
In the thousands of years of ancient martial arts history in Dragon Country, how many could match this?
Becoming a Grandmaster wasn’t just about talent; it required profound martial insights.
She couldn’t fathom how terrifying a Grandmaster at such a young age could be.
Would she break through to the Great Grandmaster level in a few years?
For a prodigy like her, comprehending the Martial Domain shouldn’t be difficult, right?
Could she even glimpse realms beyond the Heavenly Force?
Chen Ningshuang felt a chill run through her body. She had thought the Jiang family's greatest trump card was Jiang Yunhuang, the Heavenly Force Great Grandmaster.
But now... she realized how wrong she was.
The truly terrifying trump card of the Jiang family was that girl named Dong'er.
"No... I need to see for myself!"
With that thought, the girl tiptoed toward Jiang Che's bedroom.
As luck would have it, she ran into a fellow "enthusiast."
"You—" Bai Jie narrowed her eyes. She had been eavesdropping at the door for hours.
"Hah... so you’re just as fake and pretentious as the rest. You’re here to spy on Brother Jiang Che too, aren’t you?"
Bai Jie smirked, clearly misunderstanding the situation.
Chen Ningshuang: "..."
Well, this was awkward.
......
Meanwhile, in the ancient martial Ye family.
"Family Head... something’s happened to the young master!"
An old man rushed into the room, stumbling and nearly falling.
"What is it?" A middle-aged man slowly stood up, his brow furrowed.
"Family Head, Young Master Liangchen... he’s been beaten up!"
With that, he handed over his phone to Ye Jing.
"Beaten up? Who dares lay a hand on my son?"
Ye Jing took the phone, but his face twitched uncontrollably when he saw the footage.
It was a live stream of Ye Liangchen.
A few minutes later...
Ye Jing was so furious he nearly threw the phone.
"That disgrace! How could I have such a foolish son?"
The old steward sobbed, "Family Head, you don’t understand... the other families are laughing at us, saying Young Master Liangchen has gone mad and become a clown. Our Ye family is becoming a laughingstock."
Ye Jing slammed the table.
"Where is that brat? Bring him back at once! He’s embarrassing us!"
In this day and age, it wasn’t uncommon for ancient martial artists to go live. In fact, the "ancient martial artist" label often attracted viewers.
But those who did it usually maintained an air of dignity and prestige.
And then there was Ye Liangchen... performing chest-breaking stunts like a circus act?
Not only that, but he’d been humiliated—a wooden pole had been thrust straight into his... well, it looked painful.
And to showcase his Iron Shirt technique, he let someone kick him... there?
Didn’t he know how his own father had been crippled?
Ye Jing felt a phantom pain in his own groin.
"Bring that disgrace back immediately! I’ll deal with him myself!"
"Yes, Family Head!"
......
What the Ye family didn’t know was that their shameful young master had already been locked in a dark room.
His future was looking bleak.
"You... stay away from me! Get the hell away!"
Ye Liangchen was tied hand and foot to a tiger bench, looking utterly pitiful.
He kept wailing in despair.
In front of him stood only Brother Qiang, who held a small whip in his hand, a sinister smile on his face.
"Be good, let me take a look."
Ye Liangchen struggled in terror, "Get away from me! Don’t touch me, you pervert!"
Brother Qiang sighed. He’d been feeling lonely lately. His beloved Xiao Lin had gone to Thailand for gender reassignment surgery. Given their unbreakable bond, he wanted to be there for her, but he had to stay in Hangcheng to oversee things.
Still, this Ye Liangchen wasn’t a bad substitute.
"Look at you, your butt’s bleeding. I feel so bad for you."
Ye Liangchen: "..."
[Ding! Host has successfully played the role of a pitiful victim. Reward: 10 days of internal energy.]
Ye Liangchen couldn’t hold back, "Screw you and your pity! You’re the pitiful one, you and your whole damn family!"
"Ah—"
A piercing scream echoed as Ye Liangchen blacked out.
...
"Congratulations, the surgery was a success. You’re now a girl."
A nurse stood by Lin Yu’s bedside, smiling as she delivered the news.
Lin Yu, lying on the hospital bed, furrowed her brows. She felt like she’d heard those words before.
Oh, right... back at the hospital when one of her testicles had been crushed. But that didn’t matter anymore... she was now a woman.
One misstep led to eternal regret; looking back, she was now a daughter.
"Hah... time flies. In just half a year, I’ve gone from being a man to a woman."
Lin Yu’s lips curled into a self-mocking smile.
After following Brother Qiang, she’d done a lot of thinking. Who was really to blame for her current state?
It had to be Jiang Che. Even now, she harbored intense hatred toward him.
But... was it really all his fault?
Lin Yu lowered her head, clenching her fist slightly. A powerful surge of internal energy flowed through her, so intense that it seeped out through her meridians.
Internal energy externalization—Transform Force level!
That’s right!
Ever since losing one of her testicles, her cultivation speed had skyrocketed. And after the gender reassignment surgery... she’d broken through her bottleneck, reaching the Transform Force level.
That thing had been like an obstacle, clogging her meridians.
Now that it was gone, her internal energy flowed smoothly, and her cultivation speed had more than tripled.
As for whether she’d seek revenge on Jiang Che...
She was tired. She didn’t want revenge anymore. She just wanted to live a peaceful life with Brother Qiang.
Despite her hatred for Jiang Che, Brother Qiang was Jiang Che’s subordinate. If she turned against Jiang Che, Brother Qiang might be caught in the middle.
Soon after, Lin Yu received a call from Brother Qiang.
"Xiao Lin, I heard your surgery went well?"
"Brother Jiang is so generous. He sent me another top-tier gift. Let me tell you... this one’s supposedly a young master from an ancient martial family."
Lin Yu’s eyes narrowed. This felt eerily similar to her own experience...

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement.

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.
