章節 9: Trying To Humble, Progress, Tournament
(2 Years Later)
(Bu Cai Pov)
Lying In Bed, after another day of intense martial arts practice and refining my foundation; I was reflecting on the immense stupidity and optimism, I had back then, for making the plan of fixing the attitude of possibly one of the most detestable and stuck up fuckers in the universe, Chang Wu.
After the day out in the sect with him (One of the Worst days out I have had), We returned and I could barely hold myself back from giving that dog a tight slap on his face when I saw him with that respectful and polite attitude again; as during the whole trip he was treating me like a pest and saying that as his LACKEY, I should be honored to even be in his presence and went on a rant saying, if I tell my parents about him being mean, he will make my life 'Horrible', and that i shouldn't even think about it (Prick), and after that, he basically ignored me and went on to Mocking and shit talking to everyone who he saw to their faces.
When he saw any people who looked like they were having a bad day, he purposely stopped them and started shit talking them to their face and then left with a laugh, Truly a master of self-destruction.
When he saw someone's young spirit pet running around (looked like a pug), he went out of his way to kick that young pet really hard and sent it flying, Was mildly funny, but was also really cruel and it turns out the dog was severely injured and would have to take a long time to recover,
And finally...
When we were having food in one of the restaurants that the servants took us to (Sect master Approved), he was swearing and insulting the workers so Poetically and Fluently, that felt I was watching, Kitchen Nightmares, Xianxia edition.
Personally. I thought the food wasn't bad, but that is coming from someone who lived 20 years prior to luxury, eating only pot noodles.
Eventually after screaming his lungs out he started to leave and said to the servant that his mood was spoiled and that he now wants to head back to home (Prick).
Of course none of the victims talked back or resisted as they knew it was hopeless and could only fell resentful.
I agreed and after getting to a relatively quiet place I gave him a piece of my mind, I started roaring at him about how much of a pathetic trash he is being, and that told him to fix his attitude and preached to him about how 'arrogance breeds disaster'.
Instead of giving any reaction, he kept ignoring me and only replied with, "Bad dogs shouldn't be given attention".
Realising it went in one ear and out the other, I couldn't be bothered to deal with him anymore for that day and just walked along with a sour expression.
After getting back I realised that this would be a long term project and began to plan.
Since talking didn't work i had to beat some sense into him, however I currently couldn't do that he had [Martial Arts-Advanced], whereas mine's was Intermediate.
So...
Determined to save the sect and my parents, I begged my father to train me more and, train I did.
I also incorporated spending time with Chang Wu a bit more (Even though I despised him) and tried to passively influence him by constantly persuading him to act nicer and...
He is still a disrespectful fucker however, after constantly being around him he started to reply more and we seemed on track to be friends (Albeit the term 'friends' should be used loosely'), which surprised me and made me not give up on this plan; The major changes with him happened due to the sparring we had done often.
Previously, due to him being arrogant and very talented he didn't put maximum effort on training and instead went and pissed off a lot of people for his amusement. This changed, once he felt the pressure from me catching up to him and being close to beating him, although he started to train earlier than me.
The effects of this included us getting closer to each other and him no longer bothering other people in the sect and acting tyrannical.
Throughout these years i have also majorly improved in all aspects and although despise that bastard Chang Wu, after 2 years with him, I consider him a half-friend. And now, instead of sulking over my past how i used to for the first few years here, I now look forward to a new day with a life, I feel is complete with my new family and 'friend' and without misfortune haunting me.
Not only have I enjoyed a proper life, I have also improved myself massively and my current [Status] is,
=====================================================
{Status}
[Name: Bu Cai]
[Titles: Host Of THE System, No.1 Child Of Calamity]
[Age: 7 (28)]
[Power Level(Cultivation): Mortal]
[Alignment: Lawful Neutral]
[Skills: (Martial Arts-Advanced), (Running-Advanced), (Persuasion-Intermediate), (Calligraphy-Beginner)]
[Unique Quality: Misfortune(E-Rank) (Gold+ Rank)]
[Current Target: Long Tian(S-Rank)]
============================================================
(Training Court)
(Third-Person POV)
Bu Cai was seen running around the training field early in the morning, but he was not simply running, on his chest was a metal chestpiece which fit him perfectly, This plate may look simple but it was anything but; The current Bu Cai was someone who would be peerless in strength compared to almost anyone in his previous life, this was due to factors such as, Continuous intense training, Qi which naturally makes people in this world stronger as they train, and most importantly, Foundation building Spirit foods and plants, as well as a lot of nutrition from high quality Foods; These allowed him to have the strength of 300kg in a casual punch, Combined with good martial arts skills it can easily reach the range of 600-700kg, and even with this monstrous strength he is only on par with great family and sect descendants or is weaker than some incredibly impressive ones.
But even with his high strength the material he was wearing were as heavy as 500kg, hence running with this was incredibly difficult and hence he was sweating a lot.
After just barely completing his planned laps he took of the weighted chest piece he flopped to the ground and lay down panting intensely.
Currently at the age of 7, Bu Cai had long ink black hair which perfectly contrasted with his fair and healthy skin, he had black eyes that had a hopeful light gleam in them, although he had incredible strength his body was lean and nicely proportioned, his face had started showing traces of maturity and handsomeness but he was still very cute and didn't look like he could harm anyone, however in Xianxia, Looks are almost always deceiving.
His Father then approached him out of nowhere and Bu Cai's fcae lit up when he saw him as it had been a week since he saw his father and mother since they both left to sort out different issues.
He quickly got up and launched himself at his father and gave him a hug, His father also recuperated the hug then they separated, and his father told him something that gave him quite a surprise,
"Cai'er, Father has something very important to tell you. The upcoming empire wide Pre-Cultivation tournament for the younger generation will happen in a year at the royal capital and father has signed you up. I know how hard you worked and, your mother and I want to see your talent bloom and give you the opportunity to reach greater heights than us, who are going to be stuck at peak nascent soul for the rest of our lives. Through this competition if you do well you will be able to gain a lot of useful rewards which can further enhance your foundation and gain the attention of some truly big sects and mighty figures, which can help you in your cultivation journey. However once you join a bigger sect or get a master you will not be able to return until you reach a certain cultivation and this may lead to us being separated for a long time, Due to this, to ensure you can do well I will be training you in Sword arts and Martial arts until the competition! I Have said this all to you to ensure that you do not aim low and to make sure you do not falter due to feeling bad about leaving us."
After hearing this, tears started to fall from his eyes. In his previous life he had no one. His own parents abandoned him; his friends abandoned him; society abandoned him. All he had to keep him from going insane, was his small, cold apartment that he felt some connection to, due to it being the first place he could call home, and the webnovels which he used to read to escape from his miserable and hopeless life. He, who was always in perpetual loneliness and isolation...
Finally had gotten to experience what it means to be Loved.
He quickly recovered from his and replied with absolute joy and enthusiasm,
"I will definitely succeed Father! And will not disappoint you or mother. I promise!"

Author's Gibberish/Notes:
(Since this is my first novel, I'm not good at writing good childhood arcs since I've not got much clue what else he could do as a child other than spending time, Training, Playing or making more friends (Which i don't think suits him that much as a mentally 28 Year old), and spending time with family. TBH i just want to get to the interesting parts i have envisioned for this first world so there will be a few time skips since i don't know what else to write about.)
(Not gonna make him get some bullshit useful item that is precious through luck, and using the system, since i don't think it suits the already talented, fated cannon fodder Bu Cai, so don't expect him to get some really OP item or Foundational building material just because, and therefore there will be no sudden powerups since i'd much rather him do it through hard work and gain things from his hard work.)
Thanks for reading the chapter and if you have any comments or suggestions then i am open to anything.
