'I will take revenge for you little boy' Gang Xin's eyes shone with a cold gleam.
In his previous life, he was the Star Tyrant. Who could make him fear them? No one!
He feared none! Those top sects, almighty factions. Didn't they try to threaten him? Didn't they chase him down? They never succeeded.
Because, the Star Tyrant was already a powerhouse on his own.
This world should know to respect the name of Gang Xin the Star Tyrant from now on.
But first... he should improve his living conditions. Gang Xin took a look at his surroundings.
Such an old and small home. Although the poor boy tried his best to keep the place proper, it still resembled the old home he got from his parents.
And now, the entire house was mostly empty - because he had sold off most of his assets to buy the dogshit medicine.
The only thing he didn't sell was the useless rag he covered his body with when sleeping, because no one bought it, and the medium grade sword left by his parents.
'System!' Gang Xin called out in his mind.
[System activated]
Seeing the notification, Gang Xin's mood instantly turned for the better.
[Name: Gang Xin
Title: None (Star Tyrant)
Cultivation: 3 star Form Fighter (4 star)
Status: Injured
Check Skills
Check Inventory]
He first decided to check inventory.
'Nothing. Sigh...' just as he was sighing, his eyes suddenly caught sight of a notification.
[Starter Pack: Medicinal Pill (Magic Level), Meditation Technique(Random)]
"The system is even willing to fix players' injuries? HAHAHAHA" Gang Xin pressed on the notification.
[Medicinal Pill (Magic Level)
Treats all injuries in the body. Also supplies user with great energy.]
[Cultivation Technique(Random)
Press to get a randomized magic grade cultivation technique.]
'First, I should get the cultivation technique. Then, I will use it to circulate the energy provided by the medicinal pill.'
With expectation, he pressed on the notification. And the next moment, a set of information flowed to his mind.
...
Cultivation Technique (Magic grade): The Undying Phoenix
Description: Circulate the flames of the natural world and refine it to become your own. Accumulate flames inside your body to gradually become the Phoenix that never dies!
Technique:
Form Fighter: ...
Meridian Mentor: ...
Tearing Transcience: ...
Accumulate more systems to unlock the later stages.
...
'Isn't this just a cheat?' Gang Xin's mouth curved up deviously. His face betrayed the naivety and innocence a 15 year old boy should have.
'Let's try this Undying Phoenix technique then' Gang Xin thought as he began executing the moves described.
His arms flared out, his knee was raised, leg pointed outwards, he was in various kinds of strange positions. All with a specific rhythm and breathing technique.
Gradually, the surrounding air started to heat up.
"Ouch!" Gang Xin felt a particle of seemingly pure heat try and enter his body through his nose. Shocked by the scalding temperature, he was taken out of the meditation technique.
"Were my clothes always this hot? Why am I sweating so much?" he noticed the changes around him. Everything around him became hotter - even the wooden floor beneath him had become warm.
This was inconvenient. If this phenomena happened when he was only a 3 star Form Fighter, what would happen at the 10th star? Or even the Meridian Mentor? The room might have just melted.
'However... it seems I need to reset my cultivation to better refine my body for this technique' Gang Xin thought.
Due to the previous host cultivating the Gang clan's Roaring Tiger cultivation technique, his body's foundation was sculpted to fit that technique. Now, when he performed the better Undying Phoenix, he could already feel something wrong.
If he let this situation persist and cultivate, there was a high probability that his body would get morphed into something not ideal.
"Hmm…" Gang Xin furrowed his brows. As much of an expert he was, he couldn't just change and reset his foundation at will after all.
Probably, even an immortal would struggle with that.
So, he had to go outside.
...
Even from the outside, his house looked old and rundown.
"Sigh..." Gang Xin couldn't help but sigh.
The weather had already turned chilly, but the rag he wore wasn't enough to keep him warm.
'Wait! Maybe this will work' he thought as he started breathing rhythmically. It was just as shown on the Undying Phoenix manual.
"Huuu... It really did work!" a grin formed on his face as his body began heating up.
As he tried remembering the way out of the clan, he noticed the gazes of the passersbys. The passing people seemed to look at him with discorn.
Undoubtedly, he was a loner. Well what could he do about it?
He was an orphan. And although he was a bit talented in cultivation and managed to reach 4 star Form Fighter in just 2 years after he started his cultivation journey, he had become crippled by a powerful young master.
Before, he might have had a few friends. But now? No one cared about him.
In the future, he might not even be alive. In this cruel world, people didn't have time to make acquintances with such a liability. Especially when no one knew if the young master would get angry with them too.
But of course, he was a good target for rumors.
... Well, Gang Xin didn't care though. Other people's opinion mattered to him as much as dog shit did.
If it meant achieving his goal, he didn't mind becoming dog shit.
