Spirit Academy.

Eastern Dragon Empire.

_______

In the innermost compound of the renowned Spirit Academy, dedicated to educating and training students in the new cultivation society, nurturing their skills, not far away from the advance fighting arena, a lone youth could be seen kneeling on his one knee with devoted smile hideously adorning his face, as if he were experiencing the most wonderful and orgasmic moment of his life.

"Zhang Siyu, I've reached the 9th stage of Qi refining. With just another year, I'll ascend to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Now what do you think, do you consider my proposal? I've heard you admire strength in a partner, so how about dating me now?"

The one who spoke was none other than Lu Changsheng, the frivolous and dominant young master of the Lu family. Despite his arrogance, there was a hint of submission in his sparkling eyes, like that of a tamed dog, whose neck had already been subdued by a chain encircling it.

Standing before him is a cold, fragile, and stunning girl dressed in the black uniform of the Spirit Academy. Her golden eyes gleam with clarity, resembling a still lake, while her delicate Asian features enhance her beauty, making her all the more adorable. 

The only concerning thing that arises was the fact.

That her tongue is venomous.

"Lu Changsheng, don't go to farm.... You think you're worthy of me? Don't assume the Qi Refining Realm is absolute just because you reached it before me. Are you perhaps living in your own delusions? You're nothing but a pathetic embarrassment to me. Even if we're engaged by our families, I'd rather.... marry a street dog than you."

"Zhang Siyu, don't forget, our ancestors made a vow of marriage. It must be fulfilled, or else their souls will burn in hell." 

"Let them burn... they're already dead, so who cares?"

"Why don't you understand my love for you? I'd even dig my heart out for you, I can even walk through fire. Do you think I'm joking? Why don't you accept me?"

"Rip your heart out right now?"

"Huh..?"

"Yeah, go on, rip it out! I promise, I'll even light a couple of incense sticks every morning in your memory, so go ahead and rip it to shreds?"

At this moment, murmurs erupted in the arena as people were practicing their skills. Some couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of the dogs' antics, finding it amusing, while others gazed with contempt in their eyes.

"Although young Master Lu Changsheng has a background, he does lack intelligence."

"What do you mean? Look at him, he is undoubtedly the most handsome man on campus."

"Hmph... so what? Dare to court the flower of Spirit Academy, he really is ambitious."

"Did your dog ear fail to listen? She is his fiancée."

"Whatever... these high society people are always like this. If I were him, I would have married a simple commoner girl."

People couldn't stop themselves from gossiping about Lu changsheng. Though he came from a wealthy cultivation family, yet his skills didn't match his status at all. 

Meanwhile, the girl he like and was pursuing, Zhang Siyu, was only 17 and already at the 8th level of foundation establishment realm which is a remarkable feat, that could be considered genius level talent in their world.

And so, When one looks at the difference, they understand how can she, the proud daughter of the Zhang family, agree to marry someone lesser than herself. 

It seems impossible.

At the same time, when everyone else was lost in their thoughts, far away from the quarrel in the distance, one boy could be seen looking bewildered. His eyes showcased sheer astonishment as he felt incredibly suspicious and filled with self-doubt.

"Could it be that I survived... or is this some kind of hell where Yama torments you with insults?"

His name was Tian Haibo but now Yang Tiancheng.

Throughout his life, he had been nothing but average, a mere afterthought, unworthy of attention or acknowledgment. 

He trudged through each day as an outsider, chained to his mundane 9-5 office job, devoid of any meaningful connections or accomplishments.

With no friends to call his own, he existed as a complete loner, a lonely and insignificant loser waiting for his day to die.

In his circumstances, life was already boring, and the will to carry on lessened day by day. It was at this time when his boss declared that the whole staff would go on a trip to the museum, mainly because most of them were married with kids, unlike him.

He was told by others to take pictures of them with their kids, even though he was an outsider whom no one cared about. But in times like this, a person like him was deemed useful.

After a while, he also thought that at the very least, he should take a photo of himself as a memento.

And thus, something happened...

While he was taking a selfie with the ferocious dinosaur skeleton in the museum's, the structure collapsed on him, with one of its parts impaling him and piercing his heart. Blood flowed downward, staining the marble floor beneath him.

He still vividly remembers the feeling of his body becoming lifeless as his vision got blurred, it was obviously certain that he had died.

So why is he alive now?

While searching though the memories of his present body, he found that this world is completely different from the peaceful Blue Planet, rather it's a world tormented by chaos and war.

A dangerous world to the point where he thought he might be inside a novel or something.

It was at this time he heard a voice,

"Lu Changsheng, what era are you living in? Still care about ancestral promises? wanting to force women into marriage? I, Ye Tian, condemn you. Zhang Suyi has no obligation to fulfill a vow that your rotten ancestor made."

Shortly after, he looked towards the arena where he could see a young and spirited boy, wearing his academy uniform casually, with his coat tied around his waist and the buttons of his shirt undone. Although his face wasn't particularly handsome, it was still enough to ignite passion within the souls of horny women, all the while his eyes so dominating as though he had ruled over the cosmos.

At that moment, Yang Tiancheng's voice broke the silence

"Zhang Siyu... Lu Changsheng... Ye Tian... It all feels too familiar. Could it be that my soul has been transported into the pages of the Cosmic Emperor novel?"

Damn It.
