Chapter One: Exiled

The river of the stars were twinkling. It was night.

In the Blue Surging City, Lu Family.

Within a small wooden hut, a youth was sitting cross-legged. His face was paled and his body trembling.

The surrounding was filled with violent energy and heat gushes out.

Suddenly, when the youth opened his eyes. The phenomenon within the room vanished.

He throws himself in the bed and sweats emerged on his forehead.

His name was Lu Chen!

He had raven eyes, sword-straight eyebrows, skin like snow, and a handsome feature. He is really stunning among his peers!

However, currently, his expression was troubled and nervous.

As for the reason, it was because of his cultivation had not been showing improvement for three years.

Three years ago, in the city of Blue Surging, vicious lightning and inferno of fire manifested in the sky.

It had brought people in shock and despair. That phenomenon struck down from the sky to the ground!

The people from Blue Surging City thought that it was their doom. However, when it strikes down, it had vanished in the blink of an eye and it hadn't brought harm in the land.

Fast forward to three years, that phenomenon still hadn't been forgotten from the people of Blue Surging City, as they had frequently guessing what is it.

However, they will never think that the lighting and the fire that appeared three years ago entered Lu Chen's dantian, and harmed his future path of the martial arts as well as his reputation inside the clan.

It was because he was the son of the Patriarch of Lu Family.

However, his status as the son was not pretty skyrocketing importance.

Because his mother was only a concubine and have died right away he was born.

His father, Lu Tian had obviously adored him when he was born in this life.

He had shown great improvements in the following twelve years and achieve the third layer of Spirit Refinement.

However, at the time the strange phenomenon entered his body. His cultivation regressed and three years later he didn't show improvement.

As his father took notice of this, he slowly give Lu Chen cold-indifferent gaze and hadn't visited him starting then.

During these three years, he was frequently bullied from the same lineage and long gone matured among his peers.

As for a sense of belonging from this clan, Lu Chen didn't feel anything at all.

"C'mon, what the sh*tty h*ll are you?"

Lu Chen was depressed. Ever since the events happened from these three years. He wanted to become strong and slap those mocked him on their faces.

However, reality, in fact, the one who slapped him hard.

"I wonder what it feels to be loved?" Lu Chen lifted his hand in the ceiling as his emotion gone complicated.

Previously, he always wanted to get strong and achieve high and made his sole father proud.

As reaching the third layer of spiritual refinement, of course, he was called a genius.

Because in the Martial Dao, there are three known great realms for a martial artist to achieve:

They're Spirit Refinement, Sky Manifestation, and Heaven Condensation.

Beyond the Heaven Condensation, the strongest martial cultivator of the Mighty Surging Kingdom have no clue what's the cultivation after that. At least, except for those who had live long.

The Blue Surging City is, in fact, one of the thirteen cities that was governed by the Mighty Surging Kingdom.

The Mighty Surging Kingdom was the land of gathering of the young geniuses from the thirteen cities.

Because, most of the cultivation resources were plundered in that place, and they've built an institution called Three Supreme Academy.

The reason Lu Chen was nervous was due to this, the Three Supreme Academy once in five years, again, will recruit young martial artist from the thirteen cities.

The minimum requirement for participating is, one needs to be below 18 years of age and a cultivation of the fourth layer of Spirit Refinement.

Back then, Lu Chen was still a kid and his cultivation was still insignificant, so he was unable to join the recruitment, five years ago.

But now, Lu Chen is at the tender age of 15 and if he won't be able to participate in the recruitment this year, then, he will have no chance to improve greater in the future.

So, Lu Chen was worried about this, and as well he wanted to quickly leave this place who treated him with the bone-chilling spine. Then slap them in the face!

When Lu Chen was lost in thought, a sound of footsteps echoed towards his room.

Lu Chen was back in reality and, frowned. He was confused because it was in the middle of the night, yet someone was here for him?

As far as he knows, there was no single individual who treat him with warmth and was lonely for his whole three years.

Although he had friends back on he was twelve years old. It was in the past, and had slowly faded out when they heard he turned into a trash!

So, Lu Chen was confused due to this. However, he only closed his eyes and waited for the door to open up.

The door made a screeching sound and a middle-aged man with indifference walk in.

At the same moment, Lu Chen also opened his eyes and look at the person who entered.

"Fa-fath--"

Lu Chen was about to spoke out, however, he held out his words and swallowed them back.

Surprisingly, the middle-aged man who appeared was his father 'Lu Tian' that hadn't visited him for the whole three years.

Seeing that he came here without notifying him was definitely a bad premonition for him, so he swallowed his words and only waited for him to speak.

"Leave!" His father only spoke one word and walk out as he disappeared.

"Leave?"

Lu Chen had understood. He's not dumb enough to understand what his father meant. His eyes turned cold and his heart was furious.

He never thought that his father was cold and indifferent to the person that worthless for him.

Lu Chen calmed himself down and said, "Since you threw me out and leave me in the shivering cold. Then I will not depend on you. I rather starve and die to shelter in your house..." His eyes flash in coldness as he looked towards the direction of his father' disappearance. "I will achieve and create my own legend. I will become a peerless supreme expert and uncover as I travel the world. If I perish, then that's destiny. But If I succeed, then that's nirvana! I swear that today, I will seal my heart and wholeheartedly pursue the martial dao!"

Buzz!

At that moment, Lu Chen's dantian suddenly buzzed out and made a thunderous sound.

Lu Chen felt his bottleneck was breaking apart, and the entity that was sleeping dormant inside his dantian opened its eyes!

He hurriedly closes the door and again sat cross-legged. Lu Chen lay his senses on his lower abdomen and closed his eyes.

The entity inside his dantian opened its mouth. Then suddenly, the heaven and earth energy surge out crazily and a vortex appeared on Lu Chen's abdomen as it crazily sucked dry the energy on his surroundings.

After a few minutes, the rumbling sound echoed more strongly and the fourth door of the Spirit Refinement, shattered!

Buzz!

Suddenly, Lu Chen's body emitted a purple and red light and a few minutes before it disappeared, Lu Chen opened his eyes.

"Hiss! Is-is that a lightning and fire beast?"

Lu Chen once again closes his eyes and entered his consciousness on his dantian.

Once again, an entity covered with strong lightning and destructive fire seen by his pupils with a mystical aura.

"Th-this is that phenomenon entered my body?!"

Lu Chen face was full of shock. He can't believe it with his two eyes. Looking at the two-spirit beasts, he reckoned that this was absolutely extraordinary!

Especially it had helped him break through the bottleneck that he was stuck with his entire three years!

Lu Chen scan for a few minutes before he returns his consciousness into reality.

"Five months, the Three Supreme Academy recruitment will be at that time. I need to grow stronger on that day! First, let's leave this place and pursue the martial-arts without looking back!"

Lu Chen stuff his important things and took one more glance at the dark night of Blue Surging City before he disappeared in the distance.
