Aziel awoke to the soft glow of dawn filtering through his window. He stretched his hands and rose from his bed, feeling the warmth of the morning sunlight on his face. He washed up his face and rinsed his mouth, and gazing at the mirror, admired his striking red hair and handsome face. Changing his fine, refined clothes, he was ready to start his day.
"Another day to dominate the world with my mind," he thought.
He was an ordinary employee of a big company. But as he was working diligently, all of a sudden the earth started shaking. He jumped down from the 7th floor, hoping to dive into the swimming pool and save himself.
And, wala! He died and was reincarnated into a cultivation world as a baby of a renowned clan. Unfortunately, he realized he didn't have any system or whatever he got from being reincarnated. He could see faint auras around the hearts of people. He thought it was his superpower of some kind. As he grew up, he realized if he focused more, he could see numbers on the glow, like 7%, 20% etc. Later, he realized it was the potential of a person, which was disappointing.
Still using his brain and the skill, he achieved everything right from the start. He successfully seduced the another grand clan's young prodigy, and soon they will get married when they turn eighteen.
That's not the only thing he did. As they were all put together from early age, using his adult brain, he made uncountable friends from top clans and those who seemed useful for him, even from weak people from low backgrounds who had shockingly top talents. As for his own achievement, he had already mastered the gas state of Qi Mastery Realm, which couldn't be considered heaven-defying, but it was enough for him to be considered genius. As for how he did, he asked his fake close friends, whom he helped during childhood, specially for benefits. And thus, with their help he got many rare herbs and pills as gifts and achieved his current cultivation. One could say his life was all set, without any obstacles.
Version 1: With a smile on his face, he opened the door and stepped outside. He was staying at an inn in the countryside because he had heard there was a beautiful young lady with a humble background. He had come to take her for himself, confident that his power and wealth would convince her family to agree.
Feeling assured, he hummed and strolled through the corridor without a care in the world. "If they refuse, I'll surpass them with my power," he thought, chuckling to himself.
As he happily walked and jumped along the corridor, suddenly the door next to him swung open. A tall, muscular figure emerged, stretching his arms. Aziel found it strange to see the figure wearing a plain white mask.
"Did he sleep with his mask on?" he wondered.
He then noticed the figure's tattered clothes. "Poor guy," he thought, smiling.
Meanwhile, the figure noticed a young man, around sixteen years old, staring at him with a peculiar smile. Seeing the person's luxurious and obviously expensive attire, Tanvir thought, "Is he a young master from a wealthy family?" He continued to observe him.
At the same time, Aziel sensed the beggar's gaze.
"Yes, look at me! I'm the great Aziel! Even my name is impressive," he boasted, crossing his arms and gazing proudly at the beggar. His arrogance was evident on his face.
"Huh? Is he mentally unstable or something?" Tanvir thought, unconsciously placing his hand on his sword.
As someone who had already mastered the gas state of Qi Mastery Realm, Aziel couldn't help but notice the beggar's defensive stance.
"Heh, you're on guard. Not bad. Let's see how much potential you have," he thought, activating his skill.
His eyes changed and glowed as he stared at the beggar. But in the next moment, his eyes widened and his mouth hung open in astonishment.
Meanwhile, seeing the unknown person's glowing eyes, Tanvir immediately became cautious and prepared himself.
Aziel was taken aback by the beggar's aura, completely shocked. The number displayed on the aura, 58%, exceeded his expectations by far. The surprise was so overwhelming that he nearly forgot to close his mouth. It was important to consider that his father, renowned as one of the dragons in the Jin Empire, possessed a mere 38%. Aziel had only witnessed one person surpassing his father's aura, the empire's king, with 45%. Additionally, the fourth prince possessed an even higher percentage than his father, approximately 52%. And now, this unknown beggar, whose origins were a mystery, appeared before him with an astonishing 58%.
This beggar is incredibly powerful! How did he end up on the streets? Aziel wondered. But then he realized that the aura he sensed was actually quite low.
He closed his mouth and squinted his eyes to assess the beggar's realm.
Tanvir observed everything, feeling uneasy about this strange person staring at him. He shivered at the thought of something, He have been meeting quite a lot of them after coming here.
"What on earth! He's only at the Body Tempering Realm? Is he a slow learner when it comes to cultivation? Or maybe his family is poor and couldn't provide him with much. That's probably why he has to work and doesn't have time to cultivate. Yeah, that must be it," Aziel thought, his intelligent mind already formulating numerous plans.
"I will make him mine! But..." he thought, looking at the figure in front of him with a smile. He could already envision himself sitting on the throne his father once occupied, controlling the family with the newfound jewel he had just discovered.
"First, let me show him my greatness," he thought, gazing at the beggar who could potentially be his ticket to becoming the head of the family.
He approached and stood right in front of him.
"Hello there, I'm Aziel Ignis," he said, raising his nose, expecting the commoner to flatter him as they always did upon hearing his prestigious name. However, not everything goes according to plan.
"I'm Tanvir Kaizer. What do you need?"
Aziel was taken aback, looking at the plain mask. "Could he be a top-notch young master from a wealthy family?"
"Kaizer is his name, I've never heard it before. It seems like he's pretending. That's exactly what's going on! He thought to himself, nodding his head"
Tanvir had grown tired of dealing with this strange individual. Silently closing the door, he made his way towards the stairs, eager to leave the situation behind
