Chapter 2

Wan'er?

Yang An frowned slightly, a warm and beautiful figure appearing in his mind, causing his mood to sway gently.

This was the influence of the little fool.

However, she really was quite beautiful.

Mu Wan'er, the little fool's personal maid and concubine, had grown up with Yang An since childhood. She began taking care of Yang An's daily life at the age of ten, and was the same age as him. The little fool was particularly dependent on her.

She was also one of the most deeply imprinted figures in the little fool's memory.

Yang An's monthly salary, as well as the blood qi pills secretly given to him by his grandfather, elder uncle, and second uncle, were almost all secretly given to Mu Wan'er for cultivation. Even when he failed to break through using the realm-breaking pill and was on the brink of death, the little fool still couldn't let go of this girl.

A舔dog, the little fool was a舔dog!

Yang An instantly confirmed this.

However, the Mu Wan'er in his memory was indeed very good. Pure and beautiful, with a clear and sweet voice, she was already very charming at just sixteen years old.

A year ago, Mu Wan'er successfully entered the Bone Tempering Realm, freeing herself from the slave status of the Yang family.

Now, she was a genius girl at the third level of the Bone Tempering Realm, absolutely capable of being admitted to the coveted Baiyun Academy.

Without a doubt, Mu Wan'er was destined to rise from a fish to a dragon!

She was a genius beauty.

Even the Yang An who had come from another world wanted to meet her…

"Hurry up!"

Yang Chaozhou's urging voice snapped Yang An out of his thoughts.

"Grandfather, it's just Baiyun Academy, isn't it just about breaking through to the Bone Tempering Realm?"

Yang An came to his senses, his gaze firm and resolute, looking straight at Yang Chaozhou: "Give me ten days, and I will break through to the Bone Tempering Realm! This time, although I failed to break through using the realm-breaking pill, it has given me the insight to break through! I will definitely break through!"

"Xiao An, what kind of joke are you playing?"

Yang Chaozhou looked at his foolish grandson in surprise.

"Grandfather, I'm serious. Just ten days! If I can't break through, I will unconditionally follow your arrangements! Not just thirty, even a hundred, I agree!" Yang An said confidently.

He could clearly sense his current state. He was already at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm, and breaking through to the Bone Tempering Realm was no big deal. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of his peak Great Ascension Realm divine soul and the real spiritual power mutation he possessed?

"You… Fine, this is what you said! Grandfather will give you ten more days. If you can break through to the Bone Tempering Realm, I won't force you to marry and have children! Otherwise, you will obediently follow my arrangements!"

"No problem!"

Yang An responded without hesitation.

Yang Chaozhou was secretly surprised.

Today, his foolish grandson seemed a bit different.

In the past, he was always foolish and never contradicted him, let alone say such "spirited" words!

Could he really have gained the insight to break through?

But even if he had, it was impossible for him to break through again in just ten days after his recent failure. Breaking through required a long time to gather blood qi power and a single burst of energy.

Yang Chaozhou was extremely sure of this.

But to make Yang An completely give up, Yang Chaozhou still agreed to the ten-day period.

Ten days, he could wait.

Yang An watched as the old man left with a group of beautiful girls, sighing inwardly.

No wonder he was the top dog in Qing Shui County!

As long as he was willing, his former fourth dream could be achieved thirty times over in no time!

Thinking about it, he felt a bit excited.

Unfortunately, that was just his last dream!

Yang An took a deep breath, hands behind his back, basking in the golden sunlight, greedily breathing in the fresh air, and feeling the real spiritual energy in the world, walking slowly and observing this new world.

Pine trees and cypress, strange flowers and exotic plants.

Green bamboo and lotus, pavilions and terraces.

Under the bright sunlight, they exuded vibrant life.

Just like Yang An's current state of mind.

Rebirth, it's really great…

"Master, you have come out of seclusion."

"Yes, good morning, Aunt Liu."

"Ah~ Good morning, Master."

Aunt Liu, who was in charge of the garden, looked at the foolish master in surprise. In the past, the foolish master would only smile foolishly at her and never greet her.

"Uncle Fu, practicing your saber? Good morning."

Uncle Fu, Li Qingfu, at the late stage of the Bone Washing Realm, was one of the top experts in the Yang family, not inferior to Yang Chaozhou.

Yang An recalled the information about Uncle Fu in his mind, slightly surprised. Uncle Fu's realm was slightly lower than Yang Chaozhou's, but his combat power was not inferior. Uncle Fu had been guarding him closely since Yang An could remember.

"Master, have you broken through?"

Uncle Fu, who was practicing in the morning, felt a bright light when he saw Yang An.

At this moment, Yang An looked radiant, full of energy, as if he had transformed into a different person.

"Not yet." Yang An scratched his head and smiled.

"Not yet?" Li Qingfu frowned slightly, his gaze filled with doubt: "Master looks very good, I thought… Master, I'll go prepare your food."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Fu. By the way, Uncle Fu, is Wan'er here?"

"Wan'er… She should be in seclusion at the academy. She hasn't been back for many days…"

The hunched and kind-faced Li Qingfu responded hesitantly, his gaze filled with pity and concern for Yang An.

"Oh…"

Yang An touched his nose, frowned slightly, and didn't say more.

Memory fusion, divine soul integration.

The little fool's obsession had a significant impact on Yang An.

But the decision was his.

Moreover, Yang An was no longer the dazed little fool. His grandfather's words and Uncle Fu's expression made him vaguely guess something.

Indeed, the transmigrator couldn't escape the troubles.

It didn't matter…

He was no longer the little fool, how could he continue to be a舔dog?

Licking dogs don't have a good end, only fools do.

The top priority was cultivation, to quickly complete the Body Tempering Realm and break through to the Bone Tempering Realm!

Arriving at the bathing room, Yang An quickly took off his dirty clothes and jumped into the luxurious jade bathtub connected to a mountain spring, washing himself thoroughly.

He then changed into a spotless white robe, his long hair loose, standing in front of the exquisite bronze mirror.

Quietly looking at himself in the mirror.

"Truly the top handsome guy in Qing Shui County."

On Earth, before he went blind, Yang An was not only a top student but also a school heartthrob, definitely very handsome. But compared to the young man in the mirror, there was a noticeable difference.

"Bro, you are indeed handsome, but in this world where the strong rule, strength is the king. On Earth, you could be a popular idol, but here, what's the use of looks? The Wan'er you think about… hah, women!"

Yang An said fiercely to the handsome young man in the mirror who made him infatuated.

Immediately, he resolutely turned away his gaze.

He couldn't look anymore, afraid of being bent.

He suddenly felt that his fourth dream was clearly to marry a wife as beautiful as himself!

This thought was terrifying…

…

In the small training ground of Yang An's courtyard.

"Physical condition, mental state, memory… The cultivation techniques in the second life should be real, right? But it's a game, there doesn't seem to be a specific cultivation manual. The cultivation route is remembered… Also, my divine soul realm seems to still be at the peak of the Great Ascension Realm? My mental power is much stronger than in the real world on Earth. This should be based on my own martial arts realm, right? Completing the Body Tempering Realm in ten days is simple! The little fool cultivated for three years without breaking through, but his foundation is solid, lacking only the insight to break through… Can I cultivate the 'Ancient Body Tempering Technique' using the original cultivation route? Let's try!"

Yang An could feel that his divine soul and mental state were still at the peak of the Great Ascension Realm, but his usable mental power was limited by his physical realm.

Similarly, based on the memories in his mind, Yang An could clearly feel that the cultivation techniques in the second life were real. What was lacking was the initial cultivation manual. It was the first step! After all, in the game, one-click cultivation was enough to learn.

The 'Ancient Body Tempering Technique' was the most advanced body tempering technique for Body Tempering Realm martial artists, refining the entire body's muscles and tendons, strengthening blood qi power, with a maximum refinement degree of 100%.

This was the cultivation technique Yang An obtained when he completed the first boss kill in the second life.

Yang An, with the perspective of a peak Great Ascension Realm expert, combined his current situation and the body tempering techniques in the little fool's memory, along with basic martial arts, to deduce a body tempering method for his physical body.

This was a reverse deduction process, like a top expert forgetting how to start basic training when they first started practicing martial arts.

This was enlightenment, creation, and self-invention of cultivation techniques!

Soon, Yang An immersed himself in a profound state.

"Ding—!"

After an unknown amount of time, Yang An was suddenly awakened by a crisp sound, similar to the system prompt in the second life. Then, several words appeared in his mind, radiating with light:

"Dao Ancestor System Activated."

System?

Dao Ancestor System?

Damn, it's a system flow?

As Yang An was shocked, the characters changed, and a panel popped up:

Dao Coins: 0

Blood Qi: 91+

Spirit: 100~300 (MAX)

Self-created Technique: Basic Body Tempering Technique (To be Named)

"What the hell are Dao Coins? 0… No initial gift from the system? No starter pack? Too stingy!"

"Blood Qi 91, reaching 100 will easily break through. The '+' sign is gray, so it probably needs Dao Coins to increase? Spirit has no '+' sign, but this mental power…"

As the top expert in the second life, Yang An had no trouble interpreting this game panel. He quickly determined that his base mental power of 100 was matched to his current peak Body Tempering Realm physical body. This meant that using 100 mental power would not cause any backlash. Exceeding 100 would cause backlash to the divine soul, and 300 was the maximum mental power his divine soul could currently withstand. Exceeding that, his divine soul might explode…

"My mental power is limited by my physical realm. As long as my physical realm improves, with my peak Great Ascension Realm divine soul, my mental power will directly increase! This is pretty awesome… This is my trump card! Haha…"

Yang An clearly understood that for a Body Tempering Realm martial artist, having a mental power of 100 was already that of an extremely talented genius. A mental power of 300, not to mention Body Tempering Realm, even in the Bone Tempering Realm, reaching 300 was considered to have extremely high mental talent.
