"But how am I still alive?"
Shi Li wanted to know the reason as to why since he knew for sure that his body was charred beyond recognition. Suddenly, an influx of memories surged towards his brain, making him grasp his head in pain.
Shi clan.
Cultivation.
Verdant Breeze Town.
Qi.
Women.
Breaking limits.
The amount of memories that entered his brain at the start was too much to handle. After a while though, the pain lessened, allowing him to arrange and process the memories.
Minutes passed and the pain was barely noticeable. The look on his face was of shock, because after processing the information from the memories, he knew one thing.
He was not in the same world he previously was in.
The memories he processed talk about a man that had the same name as him, Shi Li. This Shi Li was the son of the Shi clan's patriarch. Being the son of the patriarch, he was able to do a lot of things since he had the strength of his father behind his back. He did many vile things, but the most obvious one was indulging in worldly desires.
If a woman fancied his eye, he would ask his father for approval before engaging in a strenuous workout with the woman. He continued to do this while getting away from responsibility.
But on a fateful day, after he was finished having fun with a woman yet again, the woman unexpectedly brandished a blade and stabbed Shi Li in the left lung.
With the shock of his son's death, the Shi clan patriarch killed the woman in one blow while the woman had a mischievous smile on her face.
Afterwards, he hurriedly called the clan doctor to treat his son as fast as possible. Unfortunately, the old Shi Li was gone, replacing it with the current Shi Li.
'So it seems...I have taken over this body,' Shi Li thought.
After he was finished pondering through the memories, a voice resounded throughout his mind.
"Shi Li, gain strength to make my father proud. Gain strength to avenge me as well. The one who killed me was the Huang clan. I was foolish to let that woman kill me with that blade."
Hearing a somewhat familiar voice, Shi Li knew that the voice came from the previous Shi Li's memories.
"Don't worry, Shi Li. I, Shi Li, shall do whatever to avenge you. Your body has given me a second chance at life, and I won't let anything kill me that easily ever again," Shi Li muttered from his bed.
With that taken care of, he opened his robe and looked at the area where his previous self was stabbed, the left lung. There was a scar on it that started from the top of his left chest and ended towards near the top of his diaphragm's right side.
'Damn, this is an extremely big scar. It's either the blade was extremely strong or…'
'...I'm just that weak.'
From the previous Shi Li's memories, he knew that cultivation existed in this world. Cultivation allows someone to transcend limits and do unimaginable things that would be possible with a mortal body. He only realized that it was cultivation since he took a glance at some novels in his spare time in his past life.
Throughout the 16 years the previous Shi Li lived, he was only able to get to the first stage of the Tempering realm. Teenagers his age would normally be at the fifth or sixth stage of the Tempering realm.
With the promise he accepted from the previous Shi Li and his own resolution, he would start cultivating, not only for selfish purposes but also for selfless purposes as well.
…
Creak…
The door to the medical room was opened, alerting the elder in charge of supervising.
"Who dares open the door at this moment in t-" The elder yawned as he said this, but looking at the man who opened the door from inside, the following words were stuck in his throat.
The one that opened the door was Shi Li. He noticed the elder and bowed respectfully. "Greetings to the elder." He then continued to walk towards his father's room, the patriarch's room.
The elder hurriedly blocked his way, which made Shi Li frown. But being respectful, he didn't dare show it on his face. "May I ask why elder is blocking the path?"
The elder who was hastily breathing, took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He then turned serious as he looked at Shi Li and said, "Why are you standing up and walking around? Weren't you injured just a few days ago? You should take this time to recuperate a bit more." The elder could only say this since the one he was talking to was the patriarch's son. He didn't dare to think the possibility of offending this person.
"Ah, that." Shi Li had an understanding gaze on his face as he showed his upper body to the elder. The scar that he looked at before was shown in front. "The wound has already healed up. Now if you may excuse me, elder."
Shi Li took a few steps to the side before continuing to walk towards his father's room. The elder was woken up from the shock of looking at Shi Li's scar. He turned around and looked at the backside of Shi Li. "With that big of a scar, he was still able to miraculously survive."
He sighed before he continued to mutter to himself. "It's still night time though. I'll just send a voice transmission to the patriarch."
With that, he continued to keep guard of the medical room as he sent a message to the patriarch.
…
The flickering of a single flame lit up the small room of the patriarch who was currently reviewing some official papers. The patriarch's appearance was that of an amicable middle-aged man. His hair was neatly combed, but it had some strands that stubbornly didn't want to go down. His irises were pitch-black, just like his son, but within those irises held high amounts of experience, not only in life but in everything else as well.
As he was reviewing the papers, a message entered his brain in an instant. "Sorry to intrude the Patriarch, but this is an urgent matter. Your son is awake and is heading towards your room."
In an instant, he placed his papers down on his table, accidentally setting them on fire. He hurriedly removed the fire from the papers with a smile on his face. "My son is alive! My son is alive!"
Not long after, tears started to drop from his eyes. "Thank the heavens! Thank the heavens…"
…
Shi Li stood in front of his father's room and grab on the door handle. He slowly twisted it as he pulled the door towards his body.
Behind the door was a man that exuded experience and ferocity. This was the Shi clan patriarch, his father, Shi Xingwan.
Shi Xingwan looked at Shi Li and faintly smiled. "Oh, if it isn't my son. Come in and take a seat."
Shi Li came into the room and slowly closed the door. He then took a random chair and sat on it as he looked at his father.
Shi Xingwan looked at his son and asked, "How is your injury?"
"Thanks for asking, Father. The injury has healed up completely," Shi Li answered respectfully.
Shi Xingwan nodded as he heard this question. "So, what brings you here?"
Taking a deep breath in, Shi Li answered.
"Father, I want to start cultivating."
In an instant, Shi Xingwan's eyes widened from shock. He didn't expect that his son that indulged in women daily would speak these words. Lightly coughing to regain composure, he then followed up with a question. "Why do you want to start cultivating?"
Shi Li pondered for a bit. Why did he really want to start cultivating? Is it to avenge his past self? Is it to make his father proud? Is it to become strong? After a few minutes, he opened his mouth.
"Answering Father, why I want to start cultivating is because I'm weak. I'm weak to the point that a single blade was able to kill me without a problem. I'm no different from the mortals, I can only exert more strength than them at most."
He continued, "I also want to protect those who I care about. I don't want the people by my side to suffer. If possible, I would rather take the brunt of it all."
But suddenly, an extremely faint killing intent exuded from Shi Li, making Shi Xingwan surprised.
"But the most important reason would be to annihilate the Huang clan. Since they've decided to kill me, the Shi clan patriarch's son, I would kill all of their members…"
"One…"
"By…"
"One."
