Chapter 1

"Where there is a sword, there is a man!"

"Whoosh!"

...

On an elegant yet somewhat damaged wooden bed, a young man who had been lying quietly on the bed suddenly sat up, startling the young girl who had been lying beside him, causing her to scream in fright.

The young man was Chen Hui, and the girl beside him was his sister, Chen Yan. The two siblings relied on each other for survival. Chen Hui had recently gone alone to the No Return Forest, which was filled with monsters. Although he managed to return by a stroke of luck, he was severely injured, which greatly worried his sister, Chen Yan. The two had been close since childhood, and Chen Yan had stayed by his bedside for several days and nights, fearing the worst, her eyes already swollen from crying.

After a while, Chen Yan finally came to her senses and clearly heard her brother Chen Hui's words. A look of unhappiness appeared on her pretty face, and she sighed deeply: "This brother of mine is good in every way, but he's just too stubborn."

...

"Where there is a sword, there is a man! The sword is still here? I'm not dead yet!"

"The sword will not break, I will not die!"

"My mission is not yet complete, I will not die, no one can kill me!"

...

Chen Hui continued to mutter, each word filled with deep sorrow, unwillingness, anger, and an endless desire to kill.

This desire to kill was a relentless and unparalleled sharpness, a determination to kill any who stood in his way.

...

"Brother, why do you do this to yourself? You really won't turn back until you hit a wall! No... Even if you hit a wall, you won't turn back. Can't you see that Li Si is just playing with you? She doesn't like you at all; she likes Jiang Linjun. She agreed to Jiang Linjun's courtship three days after you entered the No Return Forest. She only wanted you to enter the No Return Forest to make a fool of you." Chen Yan shook her head, ultimately unable to be angry with her brother.

"Huh? You are?" Chen Hui's eyes began to regain some of their luster, and he slowly turned his head to look in the direction of the voice.

"Brother... It's me, Chen Yan... What's wrong with you?" Chen Yan looked at her brother with concern, but soon her face was full of smiles, "Brother, you're finally awake, that's great."

Strange!

Everything seemed incredibly strange!

However, the girl he had never met before called him brother...

Chen Hui retracted his gaze and, as he tried to organize his thoughts, he suddenly discovered that his mind... had an additional set of unfamiliar memories.

It turned out that this was not his body. The name of the body's original owner was also Chen Hui, was this fate?

The original owner of the body could be described as a good-for-nothing playboy, with no strengths. Not only was his cultivation weak, but he had no achievements in any other areas. However, there was one thing that surprised Chen Hui: this guy was a hopeless romantic.

"Who would have thought that the original guy genuinely liked the girl named Li Si, and went to the No Return Forest to obtain the demon core of a saber-toothed beast for her. Unfortunately, the dangers of the No Return Forest were far beyond his capabilities." Chen Hui had already noticed the multiple scars on his body, which, although mostly healed, had several that could have been fatal before they healed.

"What's the point of genuine love? The woman you love only sees you as a tool, a toy... Perhaps you knew this all along!" Chen Hui laughed bitterly in his heart.

Wasn't he the same?

If it weren't for the woman he loved, he wouldn't have invited the wolf into his home, and the entire sect would have been massacred, his master killed in front of him, and thousands of his fellow disciples would have suffered...

If it weren't for his master reversing the spatial array before dying, sending him, the most pampered and weakest disciple in the sect, away, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to be reborn.

"Dongzhou? I didn't expect to be in Dongzhou... and it seems it's already been three years!" As he reviewed the memories in his mind, Chen Hui gained a preliminary understanding of his current location, but he was surprised to find that three years had already passed.

The world he was in was called the Divine Martial Continent, a vast land with a population measured in billions.

The Divine Martial Continent was divided into nine provinces, and the Central Province, where Chen Hui had previously been, was the most powerful and prosperous. In contrast, Dongzhou, where he was now, could be considered a wilderness.

"Three years? So what if it's three years? Even if it's thirty or three hundred years, I, Chen Hui, will return to the Central Province and slay all of you, restoring the glory of the Wu Xu Sect... However, all of this requires me to have a certain level of strength. I didn't expect this Chen Hui to be even worse than me. After so many years of cultivation, he hasn't even broken through to the middle-stage warrior, and is still just a peak third-stage warrior." Chen Hui couldn't help but feel a headache. The condition of this body was worse than he had imagined. If he were to slowly cultivate with this body, it would take at least ten years or more to break through to the warrior master realm.

If he wanted to return to the Central Province, not even the realm of great warrior master or earth warrior master would be enough; he needed to reach the realm of heaven warrior master to have a certain level of survival ability against those opponents.

On the Divine Martial Continent, warriors were divided into warrior, warrior master, great warrior master, earth warrior master, heaven warrior master, mystic warrior master, and divine warrior master. Each major realm was further divided into nine levels from first to ninth. However, for most ordinary people, it was difficult to break through to the warrior realm and become a warrior master.

In his previous life, although Chen Hui had never focused on cultivation, he had still reached the peak ninth-stage warrior level, just one step away from the warrior master realm.

A warrior master was already considered a formidable expert. To become a warrior master, one had to strengthen their body to a certain level, allowing them to autonomously draw upon the elemental forces of heaven and earth, with a high degree of control over these forces. The elemental attributes were powerful, and their offensive capabilities were astonishing. Moreover, warrior masters could use mental energy as an attack method, making them unpredictable and mysterious.

A warrior master who could autonomously draw upon the elemental forces of heaven and earth and use mental energy as an attack method had far greater offensive capabilities than ordinary warriors. Even a group of peak ninth-stage warriors would not be a match for a single warrior master.

"Master once said that as long as the Wu Xu Sword is with me, I don't have to worry about my cultivation not improving. Since I can't cultivate step by step, I can only first find the Wu Xu Sword and use it to enhance my strength." Chen Hui made his decision, "Master said, where there is a sword, there is a man; where the sword is lost, the man is lost. Now that I am alive in another body, I am still alive. Therefore, the Wu Xu Sword must not have been destroyed."
