Xiao Chen groaned as he sat up, his hand clutching his head. His thoughts were a chaotic mess as memories—alien and yet oddly familiar—swirled in his mind.
"Yao Chen…" he muttered. The name echoed in his thoughts. No, his name now. The merging of two souls had left him with knowledge of this unfamiliar world and the tragic past of the boy whose body he now inhabited.
"Five-element spirit root… trash…" Xiao Chen muttered as pieces of the puzzle came together. Born into the prestigious Yao Clan, Yao Chen had been mocked and bullied for his weak talent. Five-element spirit roots, though diverse, diluted one's cultivation potential, making it nearly impossible to achieve greatness. His family had expelled him like discarded waste.
And the poison… Xiao Chen shuddered as the memory surfaced. Someone in the Yao Clan had poisoned Yao Chen before he could leave. Yet, as Xiao Chen probed his body with his newfound awareness, he realized something miraculous: the poison was gone. It had likely burned away during the soul transfer.
He looked around. Towering trees surrounded him, their leaves glowing faintly under the sunlight that filtered through the dense canopy. He was in the middle of a forest, far from any civilization.
Suddenly, a faint chime echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Life System activated.]
"What?!" Xiao Chen's eyes widened. A glowing, semi-transparent screen appeared before him.
Welcome to the Life Simulation System. This system will aid you in your path to cultivation, offering scenarios and opportunities to enhance your abilities.
Xiao Chen frowned. "A system? Like those web novels? What kind of luck is this?" He shook his head. Regardless, this might be the only advantage he had in this world.
Before he could dwell on it further, a notification popped up.
[Scenario Unlocked: Survival in the Wilderness]
Duration: 7 days
Objective: Survive without external help.
Reward: Five elements Harmonization technique ( high level heaven grade)
Xiao Chen clicked his tongue. "Seven days? Fine. At least there's a reward." He closed the interface and stood up, brushing dirt off his ragged robes.
As he began walking, he heard the rustle of leaves. His body tensed, instincts kicking in. From behind a tree emerged a man, dressed in a blue robe embroidered with the emblem of the Lin Clan—a rival to the Yao Clan.
"You there!" the man barked. His sharp eyes studied Xiao Chen. "You're not from the Lin Clan. State your business in our forest."
"I…" Xiao Chen hesitated. How was he supposed to explain his presence without raising suspicion?
The man's expression darkened. "If you won't talk, I'll make you. Don't think you can hide any schemes from me!" He raised his hand, and a glowing palm-shaped force shot toward Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen cursed under his breath. He hadn't even begun cultivating! Instinctively, he rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.
"Wait! I'm not your enemy!" he shouted.
The man sneered. "Then prove it by dying quietly!" He charged at Xiao Chen, a dagger appearing in his hand.
But just as the blade was about to strike, a sharp voice cut through the air.
"Enough!"
Both Xiao Chen and his assailant froze. From the shadows stepped a young woman, her presence commanding. She was dressed in a flowing green robe, her hair tied in an intricate bun. Her eyes, sharp and observant, scanned the scene.
"Lin Feng, you're too reckless," she said coldly, addressing the man. "Attacking without understanding the situation? Have you no shame?"
Lin Feng gritted his teeth. "Lin Ruoxi, this is none of your business!"
"It becomes my business when you tarnish the Lin Clan's reputation," Lin Ruoxi shot back. Her gaze shifted to Xiao Chen. "You, what's your name?"
Xiao Chen hesitated. Should he give his real name or make one up? Deciding it was better to keep a low profile, he answered, "Chen… just Chen."
Lin Ruoxi raised an eyebrow. "And what are you doing here, Chen?"
"I was banished from my clan and wandered here by chance," Xiao Chen lied smoothly.
Lin Ruoxi studied him for a moment before nodding. "Very well. Follow me. You'll answer to my father."
"Wait, what?" Xiao Chen's eyes widened. He didn't want to get involved in clan politics. But before he could protest, Lin Ruoxi turned and walked away, her posture indicating she wouldn't tolerate disobedience.
Lin Feng glared at Xiao Chen but followed after her.
Xiao Chen sighed. "What did I just get myself into?"
