章 1: Breakthrough
In a courtyard, Lei Kongming lay under a tree, gazing at the sunlight streaming through the gaps between the leaves.
He inhaled the fresh fragrance of morning grass while contemplating his life—or more precisely, his previous lives.
Yes, lives! He was not a native of this world.
He had spent his first life on Earth, where he had the typical dream of being admitted to a good university and landing a high-paying job. However, everything came to an end on the day of his university entrance exam.
No, he didn't fail the exams..... Ahem, probably wouldn't have passed either.
As he was on his way to the examination hall, he had a showdown with Truck-kun.
He was just trying to cross the road; however, Truck-kun's driver got distracted by a beautiful woman walking on the opposite street in revealing clothes.
As for how he knew the truck driver was watching that woman, it 'definitely' wasn't because he was also staring at her.
'It was all the fault of that shameless woman and perverted driver; it was certainly not his mistake for looking at her while crossing the road,' thought Lei Kongming with great confidence, trying to convince himself of this shameless excuse.
'Thankfully, the end of my second life was not this shameful.'
Speaking of his second life, the memories of his first life on Earth returned when he broke through to the 1st realm of Qi refining. However, for some reason, he didn't retain a complete memory of his second life. Those memories are very vague. All he can recall is the end of his second life and how he obtained his golden finger.
But he is sure that his second-life memories are still there because he can vaguely touch them. For example, if he finds some mysterious object on the street, he can somewhat guess its uses. Or if he finds some herbs, he can recall a formula for their use. However, this doesn't happen all the time, probably because he didn't have any knowledge of them even in his previous life.
The only good news about his second life was that the death was very peaceful. He was unable to break through to a higher realm and went crazy, eventually committing suicide.....
'Well... it wasn't that peaceful, but after that, I at least obtained a golden finger and an immortal-level cultivation technique.'
Thinking of the immortal-level cultivation technique, Lei Kongming grinds his teeth in frustration
*Sigh* With a heavy sigh and a bit of helplessness in his eyes, he pulled his thoughts back.
"NO! I shouldn't be thinking about that 'Stupid' technique, otherwise my head will explode."
"Brother Kong! Brother Kong!"
Suddenly a voice came from outside the courtyard. Hearing it, Lei Kongming picked his sword from the ground and walked out with a happy smile.
'At least there is someone to accompany me in my suffering.'
Walking out of the door, Lei Kongming found a boy standing outside, who was looking at the sky for some unknown reason. The boy was around 17-18 years old, with slightly tanned skin and a somewhat muscular build for his age
Looking at Lei Longwei who was showing off an imposing aura, Lei Kongming was stunned for a moment and thought, 'No wonder this scoundrel comes so excited today, it was because he had a breakthrough and came to show off.'
But then, a 'kind' smile spread across Lei Kongming's face, "Brother Long, now you are finally qualified to pursue Sister Qing."
Hearing Lei Kongming mention his dark history, Lei Longwei yelled in anger, "LEI!!! Kong!! Ming!! How many times do I have to tell you to stop bringing up that nonsense!"
"Nonsense? Brother Long, it was you who always pulled me aside to talk about Sister Qing this, Sister Qing that."
Lei Kongming smiled even more 'kindly' and said, "You even warned me to stay away from Sister Qing."
"Good, good, Lei Kongming! Come here, and I will make you understand why you should never mention anyone's dark history," said Lei Longwei, trembling in anger.
He pulled his sword from his space ring and charged toward Lei Kongming.
...
After a while, Lei Longwei was lying on the ground with a black-and-blue face, staring blankly at the sky.
Originally, Lei Longwei thought that since he had broken through to the 8th level of Qi Refining, he could at least manage a tie in a duel between them. But now... Sigh.
"When did you break through to the 9th level of the Qi Refining Realm?" asked Lei Longwei.
"Just this morning, probably around two hours before you came," said Lei Kongming as he stretched out his hand to pull Longwei up.
"Get up now; I have to go to the patriarch to report my progress. Will you come with me?"
"You go alone; I don't have time to waste," said Lei Longwei as he stood up and tried to leave.
"Wait, where are you going?"
"I'm going to rent a cultivation room. This time, I will definitely break through before you," said Lei Longwei, but then he paused.
He glanced back and said, "Besides, my father suddenly wants to hold a banquet tonight to celebrate my breakthrough. Don't forget to come; it will be held in the clan's main hall."
Lei Longwei quickly put his sword back in his space ring and hurried away.
This time Lei Kongming didn't stop him; he just enviously looked at Lei Longwei using the space ring.
Frustration once again flashes in his eyes as he starts thinking about beating Longwei again, but then his thoughts are quickly drawn to the 'banquet' mentioned by Lei Longwei.
'Banquet?' Lei Kongming fell in deep thought.
Glancing at Lei Longwei's back, he thought, 'Brother Long, you might not understand why the first elder has suddenly decided to hold a banquet'
'However, if my guess is correct then brother long, your "good" days are coming soon.'
*tsk*
Lei Kongming clicked his tongue as he felt a sense of closeness with Lei Longwei, 'Although brothers are good, brothers who are suffering together are better.'
Taking a last look at Lei Longwei leaving towards the cultivation hall, Lei Kongming heads towards the patriarch hall.
