When Jiang Yun woke up again, he felt a sense of confusion in his mind. Memories flooded into his mind like a tidal wave, overwhelming him with a mass of information. The influx of information caused a tearing pain, and Jiang Yun grasped his head, as if holding onto it would alleviate the pain.
After a while, the pain gradually subsided, and Jiang Yun opened his eyes, a wry smile appearing on his face.
"A waste? Spirit Martial Continent?"
Jiang Yun bitterly smiled. He couldn't believe that he, hailed as a rare genius by the martial arts families on Earth, had become a useless person in this place. It was truly ironic.
Originally, Jiang Yun was a genius of an ancient martial arts family on Earth, a martial fanatic. At the age of twenty-eight, he had already suffered a rare defeat in the martial arts world on Earth, earning him the nickname "Jiang Yizhao," which meant that anyone who could withstand a single move from Jiang Yun was worthy of great acclaim in the martial arts world.
At the age of ten, he began martial arts training, and at eighteen, he challenged the head of the Jiang family, who was also Jiang Yun's father. After a hundred moves, Jiang Yun's father felt a mix of satisfaction and disappointment. He patted Jiang Yun's shoulder and said, "Go, pursue your martial arts dreams."
His father was pleased that the Jiang family had produced an unprecedented martial arts genius, but also saddened that this eighteen-year-old youth could already soar freely without his father's protection.
At the age of twenty-eight, Jiang Yun had already explored the martial arts world far and wide, establishing his own path. But inexplicably, he had ended up in this unfamiliar continent, the Spirit Martial Continent.
Creak!
Jiang Yun saw the door of the room open, and a woman in her thirties walked in, carrying a bowl of medicine. As soon as she saw Jiang Yun awake, she exclaimed with joy, "Yuner, you're awake!"
Jiang Yun, who had assimilated the memories of this body, looked at the worried expression on the woman's face and her red eyes from crying. He slowly opened his mouth and called out, somewhat unfamiliarly, "Mother."
The woman in front of him was Jiang Yun's mother, Wen Wan. This was the answer Jiang Yun obtained after assimilating the memories. Perhaps because in his past life, his mother had passed away from birth, now seeing Wen Wan's genuine concern and worry, Jiang Yun suddenly remembered a song from his previous life: "There's only one good mother in the world, and a child with a mother is like a treasure."
Wen Wan's relieved heart eased slightly upon Jiang Yun's awakening. She held the bowl of medicine and said, "It's good that you're awake. Drink the medicine, it will help you recover quickly."
Jiang Yun took the bowl and drank it all in one breath without even wrinkling his brow. After finishing, he grinned and said, "It tastes really good!"
Wen Wan also smiled through her tears and gently wiped the medicine residue from the corners of Jiang Yun's mouth with a towel, saying, "Silly child, there's no such thing as tasty medicine."
After assimilating the memories, Jiang Yun had a general understanding of his identity. He was a member of a prestigious family in the Great Yan Principality of the Spirit Martial Continent. However, all of that was four years ago. Since his father's untimely death four years ago, Jiang Yun and his mother were no longer members of a prestigious family but mere commoners.
They relied on the small fortune left behind by his father, Qianjin Medicine Hall, to sustain their living expenses. It wasn't luxurious, but it kept them from going hungry.
"Yun'er, why did you get into a fight with someone?" Wen Wan's gaze became slightly stern as she asked.
Upon hearing Wen Wan's question, Jiang Yun quickly searched through his memories for the reason behind his injuries.
Xiao Kuan is the culprit behind Jiang Yun's injury, if I'm not mistaken.
Xiao Kuan is the eldest son of the Xiao family, one of the four major families in Yanjing City. He is arrogant and domineering, considering himself a martial arts genius among the younger generation in Yanjing City. Despite his young age, he has already reached the second level of Qi Martial cultivation, showcasing exceptional talent.
In theory, there should be little connection between the martial arts prodigy of Yanjing City and Jiang Yun, who is considered a martial arts waste incapable of cultivation. However, fate works in mysterious ways, and it can be summed up in four words: a femme fatale.
Xiao Kuan admires Lin Feier, the second young miss of the Lin family, but she has repeatedly rejected him. However, Xiao Kuan, for some reason, has persistently pursued and harassed Lin Feier. Lin Feier grew increasingly annoyed and, a few days ago, revealed an unbelievable fact to Xiao Kuan.
Jiang Yun is Lin Feier's fiancé.
In fact, there is some truth to this, but that engagement was annulled by the Lin family two years ago. They used both gentle persuasion and force to pressure Jiang Yun into breaking off the engagement.
It's unknown why the Lin family kept the existence of the engagement hidden from Lin Feier, leading her to believe it still existed, and how the information eventually reached Xiao Kuan's ears.
Jiang Yun also doesn't know why he became the target of this unjust disaster. After being rejected by Lin Feier, Xiao Kuan blamed Jiang Yun for everything. Three days ago, Xiao Kuan and his servant blocked Jiang Yun on the street and subjected him to a brutal beating, threatening that Jiang Yun wouldn't live past seven days.
By the time Jiang Yun was carried back home, he was on the verge of death. When he regained consciousness, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.
Wen Wan, seeing that Jiang Yun didn't answer her question, initially wanted to scold and lecture him. But upon seeing the extent of his injuries, she let out a long sigh and said, "Yun'er, how many times has your mother told you not to get into fights?"
Jiang Yun, noticing tears welling up in Wen Wan's eyes again, hurriedly said, "Mother, I'd like to rest for a while. The effect of the medicine is quite strong."
After Wen Wan reluctantly left the room, Jiang Yun began to organize the memories of this body.
The Spirit Martial Continent is completely different from the declining martial world on Earth. Here, martial arts reign supreme, and everyone values martial prowess.
On this continent, martial practitioners are divided into three realms: Heavenly Martial Realm, Earthly Martial Realm, and Human Martial Realm.
The Heavenly Martial Realm consists of three stages: Martial Venerate, Martial Emperor, and Martial God.
The Earthly Martial Realm consists of three stages: True Martial, Profound Martial, and Void Martial.
The Human Martial Realm consists of three stages: Body Martial, Qi Martial, and Yuan Martial.
Each stage is further divided into nine layers, with each layer representing a qualitative leap in cultivation.
The cultivation methods in the Spirit Martial Continent are the opposite of martial arts on Earth. Martial arts on Earth have reached their pinnacle in terms of techniques and moves through countless generations of research and summarization. However, in the Spirit Martial Continent, cultivation focuses on the cultivation of strength and spiritual energy, while lacking emphasis on techniques and skills.
JiangYun's enthusiasm grew after learning about the situation in the Spirit Martial Continent. This was a world of martial artists, and he brought with him the mysterious martial arts from Earth. It was destined to bring a different kind of excitement to this world that pursued power.
After the excitement subsided, Jiang Yun sat cross-legged on the bed and began to attempt cultivation according to the methods of this continent. He calmed his mind, silently recited the incantations, and slowly drew in a trace of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body.
After a while, Jiang Yun's face was filled with frustration, his eyes devoid of spirit as he murmured to himself, "Worthless, so this is how it is."
The spiritual energy was blocked from entering the position of the Danzhong acupoint in his body. In the Spirit Martial Continent, the Danzhong acupoint was known as the Qiaoxue, the gateway for martial practitioners to communicate with spiritual energy. However, this gateway was sealed shut for Jiang Yun.
The inability for spiritual energy to enter his body meant that Jiang Yun was destined to be a waste in this world.
Could it be that the genius Jiang Yun from his previous life would become a worthless person in this world? No, Jiang Yun would never allow such a thing to happen to him.
