Chapter 1: Reborn with Old Memories
“Kpow!”
“Take this!”
“How did that serve you? Hahaha.”
“My name is Jin-Yang. I’m the kind of guy who is so into martial arts in Xianxia novels. I have been to every single place that offers me information about Xianxia’s martial arts so I get to learn about its principles and know how to practice them. I spend most of my time in libraries or on the internet to read Xianxia novels and comics, including watching Xianxia movies. I have also been to many Xianxia Super Fan competitions and always won. I think it would be great if I could be born in that world.”
“Hey!”
“Martial arts freak! Wouldn’t you run on the water again today?”
“Hahaha!!”
“My life is none of your affairs. You shall not intrude!”
“‘My life is none of your affairs. You shall not intrude?’ Don’t you know that we live in a modern world? What’s with that style of talking? So old-fashioned. I think you have become too much. Just find some free time to party.”
“You can do whatever you want. This is what I do!”
Jin-Yang was always made fun of by his friends, but he never cared about what others thought. He had been teased this way since he was a boy, so he was used to it. He only cared about getting to do things he loved to do…
“The new Chinese movie ‘The Mighty Book of Xianxia Lord’s Fist’ comes out today. I think I’ll go check it out.”
“Meowww!”
“Hey!”
“Watch out, cat!”
As Jin-Yang decided to go see the new movie, he spotted a cat with its legs stuck in a drain grate, so he rushed to help it. But as he moved towards the cat…
Honk! Honk!
“Yo! Move! Move away!”
“This is bad. I have to be faster.”
All of a sudden, there was a car coming towards him at high speed with a loud horn-honking noise. The driver seemed to be drunk, judging from his face and the way that the car swayed crazily from left to right as it approached him…
Bam!
Shriek!
“A man got hit by a car!”
“Am I dead? Why is everything so dark?”
There was nothing Jin-Yang could do because that car hit right at him so hard that his body was lifted off the ground and dropped many meters away. Blood sprayed out from his mouth. Before Jin-Yang could make sense of what was going on, everything around him faded to black…
…………….
Sough!
Wah-Wah!
“Sir!”
“It’s a boy, sir.” A midwife yelled loudly as she came out of a room to ensure the middle-aged man who was waiting outside that he got a son…
“I’ve got a son!? I’ve got a son!”
“Hahaha!”
“But, sir…”
“But what?”
“He is unusually frail. I’m afraid that…” The midwife found it difficult to disclose unpleasant news…
“No need to say further. I’m more than delighted that he came out safely.” The middle-aged man was being well-aware of what the midwife was going to say about his newborn son, so he stopped her from saying it because all he wished was for his son to be alive…
“Yes, sir!”
“Congratulations, Elder.” Another middle-aged man in the room extended his joy to the new father. “So, what’re you going to name him?” He asked for the boy’s name…
“Thank you very much! Ling and I have prepared a name for him. It’s ‘Zheng-Fu’. When it’s paired with our surname ‘Tian-Tang’, it means ‘The Heaven Conqueror’.” The new father answered the Elder with a joyful smile…
“That is a very magnificent name. When the boy grows up, he will be as great as you.”
“Hahaha!”
- Three years passed by (as quick as a novel) -
“Zheng-Fu! Where are you?”
“I’m here, mother…”
“How were things today? Are you tired?”
“Not at all, mother. I was very focused today. I must become as great as father.”
“That’s very good. Go clean yourself up and let’s have dinner.”
“Yes, mother!”
It had been three years now since Jin-Yang was reborn into this new world. He had been raised as a son of one of the elders in the Tian-Tang Clan…
Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!
“What was that?”
Ever since Zheng-Fu started to make sense of the world, he usually had these strange visions in his head. He tended to think that he was dreaming when it happened. He tried to talk to his parents about it, but they only thought that he was merely being imaginative. He also believed that that was the case, so he did not want to think too much about it…
However, the visions appeared quite often lately after he started practicing martial arts. The visions came with headaches. He felt like some thoughts and memories were piercing into his mind as if there was another person existing in him…
Next morning…
“Zheng-Fu. Are you awake? It’s late dear. Aren’t you going to practice today?”
…?
“Zheng-Fu!”
Knock knock!
“Zheng-Fu, dear!”
Since Zheng-Fu’s mother noticed that he had not come out of his room, she hurried to his room and knocked at his door. She had been knocking for a while but did not hear any response…
‘Maybe he had already gone out. But how come I didn’t see him this morning?’
“I’m coming in dear.”
Creaky!
“Zheng-Fu!”
When Zheng-Fu’s mother did not hear any response, she decided to open the door to check if he was in his room. But as she managed to open the door, she was shocked to see him lying unconscious on the floor. She immediately picked him up with utmost concern. As she held him up, she could feel the tremendous heat from his body. He was also soaked in sweat…
“Dear husband!”
“Dear husband! There is something wrong with our son!”
Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!
“What happened, my dear Ling?”
Hearing that loud scream from Zheng-Fu’s mother, Zheng-Fu’s father, being nearby, rushed to Zheng-Fu’s room with worry on his face. He would like to know what was going on, but before his wife told him anything, he saw his son lying there on the floor with the corner of his eyes…
“Zheng-Fu!”
Snatch!
Zheng-Fu’s father hurried to sit Zheng-Fu up and began to transmit inner energy to him without hesitation because the rhythm of his energy flow worked unusually.
“You must save him, dear husband!” Zheng-Fu’s mother could not do anything but cry because she worried and felt hurtful to see her son that way. All she could do now was to pray for gods to protect him…
“Absolutely!”
2 shichens (4 hours) after that…
“Whew!”
After 2 shichens had passed, Zheng-Fu’s father finally stopped the energy transmission ritual. He released a very long exhale to show a sign of tremendous exhaustion.
“How was it, dear husband?”
“He is fine now. He will be all right after a short rest. I will ask our physician to give him some medicines. Let him rest, dear wife!”
“Dear Zheng-Fu, please get well soon…”
Clang!
After Zheng-Fu’s parents came out of his room, his mom started to get uncomfortable as if she had something to say to her husband. Eventually, she decided to blurt it out…
“Dear husband, I think our son is not a martial artist type. He is too weak for it, I think…”
“I’m well aware of that my dear, but what am I going to do? Martial arts are his life. As his father, I need to support him, especially when he shows such determination, even though I know that the practice will take its toll on him in the future. And I had tried to seek the right physician to treat his frailty, but no one could help him. Even the medicines from our clan’s physician couldn’t make him stronger.”
Zheng-Fu’s father gave an explanation to his wife with sorrow. He had tried to do every single thing to help his son gain body strength and become as strong as others. But no matter how much he tried to find the right physician for him, he failed to do so because there was not any physician or medicine in the kingdom that was right for this job…
“Sigh!”
“But please don’t worry about it. I would never let anything happen to our son. Please go and take some rest because you’ve been with him the whole day. Let me give you a massage tonight, dear.” Zheng-Fu’s father tried to cheer his wife up by teasing her so she would not get weary.
“You’re crazy!”
Back to Zheng-Fu…
“Where is this place? I was just about to save that cat. Am I dead?”
In a very dark place somewhere where there was only darkness and emptiness that permeated the vast space, Jin-Yang started to pick himself up from the ground. He felt tremendous pain throughout his body in a way that he could not explain. He tried to open his eyes as wide as he could so he could check out the place where he was at. He wondered if he was dead. Then all of a sudden, there was a thin ray of light appeared not far from him. The light got brighter and brighter up to the point where his eyes could not stand its brightness…
Flash!
“Ouch!”
“My eyes! Ouch! The headache…so painful!” Jin-Yang felt the pain in his eyes instantaneously as the bright light hit them. Then not long after, he felt an overwhelming pain in his head so much that he had to cover it with his both hands. The pain subsided after a while. That was when his eyes started to make sense of the place…
Sough!
What!?
Chapter 2: The Unification of Memories (1)
Sough!
“What!?”
“Where is this place? Wait!? My body!?”
At that moment, there was a light breeze coming through the windows and it got Jin-Yang to notice his surroundings. Now he could see things clearer. He remembered to look down at his body to see if he got injured anywhere. He found out that his body got so much smaller, and that included his private part…
“What!?”
“What are these feelings and memories!? Zheng-Fu! Who is Zheng-Fu?” That was not the end of the whole thing because, all of a sudden, every memory from Zheng-Fu started to flow into Jin-Yang’s mind ceaselessly…
“Ouch!”
Then everything stopped. The process made him feel dizzy and it looked like everything around him faded away once again. This was because he felt very confused since his old and new memories raced to project themselves in his head violently. Some he could remember, some he could not. It made him feel like his head was going to explode…
“Ouch!”
“Zheng-Fu! What is going on?”
Not long after what happened to Zheng-Fu, his mother rushed to his room to check with utmost worry because she heard his scream…
“Mother!”
‘Why did I call her mother?’
“Ouch!”
“My head hurts so badly, mother.”
“It’s all right, dear. Take this medicine. It’ll make you feel better.” When Zheng-Fu’s mother saw him in agony, she felt this kind of unexplainable acute pain in her chest. But she thought that this was not the time to lament, so she decided to take out a painkiller and give it to her son to help him right away…
Grab!
Gulp!
Whew!
Zheng-Fu felt much better after taking the medicine. Then he passed out and went to sleep again after the pain was gone…
Next morning…
Cock-A-Doodle-Doo!
“Ouch!”
“What’s with this light-headed feeling? Wait! I’ll be damned. What time is it now? I need to get to the martial arts class, otherwise, the Master is going to yell at me!”
Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!
Zheng-Fu got up the next morning with a slight headache. He panicked because it was very late, and he needed to hurry in order to go practice martial arts with his Master. So, he sprang out of his bed to clean up and get dressed before hurrying out of his bedroom…
“Where are you going, Zheng-Fu!?”
But right before Zheng-Fu could manage to leave the house, his mother called to stop him…
“I’m going to the martial arts class, mother. I didn’t know when I fell asleep last night. This is very late. The Master probably prepares to yell at me so badly now.” Zheng-Fu replied to his mother with a smile, even though he seemed to want to hurry out. As he turned back towards the door, his mother said…
“Stop right there, dear!”
“Why are you stopping me, mother? If I cannot get to the class on time, the Master is going to beat me definitely!” Zheng-Fu made a puzzled face and looked at his mother curiously because she was not usually this way…
“You don’t need to practice martial arts anymore, dear!”
What!?
No need to practice?
When Zheng-Fu heard his mother, he even felt more confused and bewildered. He did not understand why his mother said such a thing…
“Don’t you remember what happened to you yesterday?” Zheng-Fu’s mother was quite surprised when she saw that her son could not remember what happened to him yesterday. That was why she got very serious and asked him the question…
“Yesterday…? I went back to my room after dinner yesterday. I didn’t remember anything strange happened. Well, I felt a little headache this morning and that was just it.” Zheng-Fu tried to recall his memory about yesterday, but the only thing he could remember was him finishing his dinner and going back to his bedroom. As for him passing out because of the terrible headache was something he could not remember at all…
“Are you telling me that you couldn’t remember anything that happened to you? You passed out for 2 whole days.” Zheng-Fu’s mother tried to explain what happened to him immediately. She could not believe that her son already forgot the whole thing…
“Passed out for 2 whole days!?”
“Yes, you did. Your temperature got so heated up and you kept saying that your head hurt before you lost consciousness. So, this incident forced me to ask your father to forbid you to practice martial arts from now on. Your body is too weak for it. Zheng-Fu! I think you should switch to studying for the imperial examination to become a Zhuàngyuán instead. Or you can choose to do some other things. You’re not right for martial arts…”
No!
“Mother! I know that my body is weak, but I would never quit practicing to become a martial artist. Besides, my grandfather once told me that even though our bodies are too weak, if we keep practicing regularly, our bodies will become stronger. So, if I continue to practice it, I will definitely become stronger just as grandfather said!”
Zheng-Fu was fully aware of his weak body, but he never thought about quitting martial arts at all. So, he told his mother about his determination with a refreshing and innocent smile, like the one we saw from a three-year-old boy…
“But…”
After Zheng-Fu’s mother saw such a strong determination from her son, she did not know what else to say to stop him. She would love to help him, but it took more than a pure will to be successful in becoming a martial artist. It took talent and the right kind of body strength too…
“You don’t have to worry, mother. I can take care of myself. I’ll definitely be able to make it.”
After Zheng-Fu finished the sentence, he ran outside right away. Even though he was very young, he kind of knew what he was talking about. But what actually bothered him right now were those strange visions and memories that he experienced earlier. They seemed to belong to him, but he could not bring himself to remember them…
At the martial arts courtyard of Tian-Tang Clan…
“Zheng-Fu!”
“How did you manage to get here? Aren’t you being sick?” A middle-aged man in a martial arts outfit who stood in the clan’s martial arts courtyard asked Zheng-Fu alarmedly. He was surprised and curious when he saw Zheng-Fu approaching the courtyard…
“I’m well, Master. Look at me. I’m as strong as usual.”
Pow! Kpow!
Zheng-Fu quickly replied to his Master, while trying to show the martial arts moves that his Master had taught him to prove that he was fine…
“Well, well, all right. You showed me enough. You don’t have to come practice with me from now on because your father told me that you couldn’t do martial arts anymore. He would like you to study to become a Zhuàngyuán instead. Oh. Here he is. Your new Master just happened to come this way.”
Zheng-Fu’s martial arts Master nodded his head slightly to him before letting him know that he could not give him any more lessons because Zheng-Fu’s father had decided for him to study for the imperial examination instead…
“What!?”
“Hello, Young Master Zheng-Fu!”
An elderly man who was about 60 years old, with a serious facial expression but looked kind with a smart posture like one of those knowledgeable scholars, walked towards Zheng-Fu and greeted him. This old man would be Zheng-Fu’s new Master. The one that his father had hired…
“No! I don’t want to become a Zhuàngyuán. I want to be a martial artist like my father. I want to be as strong as him!” Zheng-Fu felt discontented, so he cried out those words. He did not want to be a Zhuàngyuán. He would like to practice martial arts and be tough like his father…
“Zheng-Fu!”
“Uh, father! What’s going on, father? Why do you want me to study to become a Zhuàngyuán? I don’t want to. I don’t want to become a Zhuàngyuán. I want to be a strong martial arts warrior like you, father!” Zheng-Fu tried to ask for an explanation, even though he knew the reason well. He only tried to ask, so his father might change his mind…
“I understand you, son, but you know better that your body is too weak for practicing martial arts. It’s better for you to choose to become a Zhuàngyuán. I invited Master Huang to teach you because he’s a very knowledgeable scholar. He’ll definitely turn you into a famous Zhuàngyuán.”
Zheng-Fu’s father was heartbroken to do this to his son, but he must persuade Zheng-Fu to change his mind for his own future…
“But father…”
“There is no more but, Zheng-Fu! From now on, you must study hard. Do you understand?” Zheng-Fu’s father had made the final decision, so he would not allow his son to negotiate any further. Then he turned to the new study Master that he invited and said…
“Master Huang. Please take care of my son. If there is any problem, let me know right away. I have to excuse myself because I still have a lot of work to finish. My servants have prepared a study place for you. Please make yourself at home.”
“I appreciate it, Master Tian-Tang Kong-Shi! Please don’t worry. I’ll teach him everything that I know so he can become a virtuous and the most famous Zhuàngyuán in the future.” Master Huang ensured Zheng-Fu’s father with confidence. He was proud of the knowledge that he had…
“Thank you very much, Master Huang!”
After saying goodbye to Master Huang, Kong-Shi turned to Zheng-Fu who was standing behind him, to say something to him. However, when he saw his son making an unhappy face, he decided to withhold everything and prepared to walk away without saying anything…
“I don’t love you anymore, father. You’re so mean!” Zheng-Fu finally blurted those sentences out to express his anger before running away while crying his heart out…
“Zheng-Fu!”
“Would you like me to follow him and check him out, Elder?”
“No. It’s all right. He probably ran back home to his mother. You don’t need to follow him. Just go back to your duties.” Kong-Shi believed that his son would not run away anywhere but home to tell his mother about what just happened. So, he did not need anyone to follow his son…
“Yes, sir!”
Zheng-Fu continued to run with tears in his eyes. However, he did not run towards his home. Instead, he ran to the Forbidden Forest that was located behind the clan’s estate. It was the place that he discovered coincidently many months ago. He usually hung out there because the place made him feel calm. Besides, it was the place where those strange visions occurred in his head…
“Why? Why did I have to be born with this weak body!? Why did grandfather say that if I practiced hard enough, I would get stronger!?” He sobbed. “I hate father! I hate grandfather!” Zheng-Fu felt unhappy and hated himself for being born with such a sickly body. He blamed everyone for giving him fault hope. And then…
“Ouch!”
While Zheng-Fu was running, those strange visions and memories, all of a sudden, reappeared in his head. The pain that came with it was so hurtful that he had to cover his head with his hands…
“Again! The visions appeared again! Argh!”
With all this tremendous pain, Zheng-Fu had to drop to his knees without being able to help himself. He almost lost it, but with the utmost level of endurance, he could still stay conscious. He would not know though for how long he could stay awake…
