In the Holy Soul Continent, the Radiant Federation, Tianwei City.
In the evening, a young human boy dragged his heavy steps down the street.
It was clear that he was very tired, not just physically, but also mentally. The afterglow of the sunset shone on the boy, making him look even more desolate.
Tianwei City was a small fourth-level city, not much larger than a town. Anyone with a bit of fame in the city was well-known to the public.
This boy was one of the celebrities in Tianwei City, unfortunately, his reputation was not very good.
"Look, it's Luofeng!"
"Today is the last routine exam of the federal spring, it seems his performance is still very poor."
"If this continues, he probably won't even meet the admission standards of the worst higher colleges. He has no future, and the Luo family will also be doomed."
"Although I am just a common baker, my son Chris is much more excellent than him, who comes from a martial arts family. Hehe!"
"The Luo family is truly unfortunate, to have produced such an incompetent descendant as Luofeng."
"..."
As everyone discussed, the boy's name was Luofeng. He came from a family in Tianwei City with a brief but glorious history. Luofeng's great-grandfather, grandfather, and father were all quite famous warriors in the area and made outstanding contributions to Tianwei City, so the Luo family had some status in the city. However, good times did not last long. By the time it came to Luofeng, he inherited his parents' talent, with excellent constitution and high intelligence. However, for some unknown reason, his progress in cultivating martial arts was far worse than that of people with much weaker constitutions, making his martial arts path extremely difficult.
To make matters worse, when Luofeng was ten years old, his parents died in a city defense battle against a group of magical beasts. The heavy blow caused a 180-degree change in the Luo family's situation, and they no longer enjoyed their former glory.
Although Luofeng's parents were martyrs who sacrificed their lives to protect the city, time can wash away everything. Six years later, people seemed to have forgotten their contributions to Tianwei City. What remained was more of a "resentment of the rich" attitude. Seeing the decline of the Luo family, they all felt a sense of schadenfreude, and Luofeng's weakness became a topic of conversation in Tianwei City.
Hearing the harsh voices of the people, Luofeng clenched his fists tightly, so tightly that the veins on his hands were visible.
These despicable bastards, my parents sacrificed so much for Tianwei City, even their lives, and they not only fail to show gratitude but are so cold and heartless!
It's really... so realistic!
Returning home with a heart full of resentment, he saw someone waiting at the door from a distance. It was a beautiful young girl, about the same age as Luofeng, with beautiful sky-blue eyes, delicate features, and skin as white as snow. Her figure was slender and graceful, with a rather full chest, a firm and round buttocks, and long, shapely legs. Whether in appearance or in temperament, she was the kind of cute and lovely beauty that would make people like her at first sight.
Seeing Luofeng, the young girl's eyes lit up, and she came forward, "Young Master, you're back?"
From the address, it was clear that this young girl was a member of the Luo family, and not an ordinary servant, but his maid, named Qiqi. The relationship between Luofeng and her was not one of employment, but of subordination, like a child bride, which was more intimate than a maid and was protected by federal law.
These maids were usually abandoned infants or orphans who lacked the ability to survive. After going through the formal procedures of the federal reception institute and the household registration department, they were adopted and trained to serve the children of wealthy families.
Qiqi was an abandoned infant, left by some heartless parents, found by a hunter in the magical beast mountains outside the city, and sent to the reception institute in Tianwei City. However, she was weak and sickly from a young age, and no one wanted to adopt her. Only Luofeng's parents felt sorry for her and, coincidentally, she was the same age as Luofeng, so they brought her home to be Luofeng's maid.
Later, under the careful care of Luofeng's parents, Qiqi's health gradually improved, and she became more and more beautiful. During the physical test at the legal age, it was discovered that she had excellent magical talent, which made the other wealthy families in the town regret it. Grateful for the kindness of Luofeng's parents, and with Luofeng being a good master, Qiqi had always been loyal to Luofeng and was the only other member of the family.
Seeing her, Luofeng's mood improved slightly, and he nodded, "Yes, Qiqi."
"Young Master, your test results..." Before she could finish, seeing the change in Luofeng's expression, Qiqi knew the result, "I'm sorry, Young Master, I shouldn't have asked."
Luofeng sighed, "It's okay, I'm used to it anyway."
Qiqi encouraged him, "Young Master, don't be discouraged. There's still half a year before the college entrance exam. You might make a breakthrough and get admitted to a good college. There are many such examples in federal history."
Luofeng, however, knew his own situation and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Hehe, I hope so."
The two walked into the gate, and Luofeng's home was a tower, not small in size, as his ancestors had once been glorious. However, the tower was empty, without the bustling scenes of a typical large household. To treat Luofeng's physical problems, his parents had spent most of their savings, and after they died in the magical beast battlefield, the income source was cut off. They had to dismiss all the servants to save money. Now, apart from Luofeng, the only person left in the Luo family was Qiqi, and they relied on each other for survival.
Qiqi said, "Young Master, you must be tired. I've already prepared hot water for you. Would you like to take a bath first?"
Luofeng nodded, "Okay!"
In the steamy bathroom, Luofeng was only wearing his underwear, sitting on a small wooden stool, while Qiqi gently wiped his back with a towel from behind.
Luofeng's heart, which had been hurt by the cold people, gradually warmed up. Although Qiqi was in a subordinate relationship with him, according to the law, she could not leave like other servants without his consent. However, when he once felt he could not give Qiqi happiness and proposed to end their master-servant relationship, Qiqi refused to leave and insisted on staying, loyally following him through the hard times and taking good care of him, which deeply moved Luofeng.
Many times, he wanted to give up, but for Qiqi, Luofeng persisted, as he wanted to be a better master and let Qiqi live a good life.
Unfortunately, reality was rather cruel.
After taking a bath and having dinner, Luofeng climbed to the top of the tower, his small world.
Lying on his back with his hands behind his head, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, he felt as if he was embraced by the entire world.
However, at this moment, Luofeng felt as if he had been abandoned by the world.
Why? I have put in more effort, sweat, and even blood than anyone else, but I can never obtain that damned power?
Damn heaven, stop toying with me and give me the power I deserve!
This was just a helpless inner cry, but something strange happened.
A ball of white light suddenly appeared in the sky, descending like a comet towards Tianwei City, and Luofeng's eyes widened.
Uh, is this a meteor?
The destructive power of a meteor from outer space is not to be underestimated. Some large meteors are even comparable to magic forbidden spells, capable of destroying an entire small city, which is a major disaster. Such events have happened in history, and Tianwei City, being a small city, did not have the protective barriers to sense and resist meteors or magic forbidden spells, which were privileges of large cities. Thus, Luofeng could only watch helplessly as the white light fell, and worse, it was heading straight for him, moving so fast that it was already above his head in an instant.
Damn, can I be any more unlucky!
Before he could react, the terrified Luofeng was hit by the white light, and everything went black as he lost consciousness.
Strangely, the tower was not destroyed. The white light only entered Luofeng's body and then disappeared.
[Ha, it's been a long time since I started a new book. I wonder if any friends still remember me.]
