15. An Accident

Poisonous Little Tang: Why would I do that? I'm not some kind of young master who blabbering about my status anytime and anywhere. To be stronger, I won't use my status for something worthless.

Little Dreamy: Pffft. Do I need to lend you a mirror, little Tang? Who said "Miss, this young master is Tang Wu from the Tangmen sect. You're so beautiful, be my Queen!" at that time to me?

Lu Feng: Oho. 😏

Southern Vermillion: Oho.. 😏

Liu Mei: Oho… 😏

Xiao Lin: Oho…. 😏

Everyone responded by typing the same letters and emoticons in the chat.

Poisonous Little Tang: Please young miss. Don't expose my past! 😭😭

The truth was, what Tang Wu said contradicted his past self. When he was 15, he always showed off his status as a young master from his sect anytime and anywhere. That was until he met and was badly beaten by Meng Jia for harassing her and even his father came himself to apologize for his son's behavior, and it turned out that Meng Jia's father was a good friend of his father. Only then did he understand that status was not that important.

After that event, Tang Wu started to reflect on himself and hide his status as a young master of a major sect. Later, he traveled the Jianghu world to make a name for himself.

Johan didn't know about their past. However, after reading those chats, he more or less understood that Tang Wu with his "young master" behavior changed after he met Meng Jia.

After he read a novel with a cultivation theme, he knew the words "young master" was an antagonist who met a tragic end after provoking the main character. So, it was a good thing that Tang Wu slapped that "young master" title before he met the main character which led to his doom.

Johan continued to read the chat.

Poisonous Little Tang: That damned young master is so weak, but his trump card leaves me speechless.

Southern Vermillion: His trump card even makes you speechless?

Little Dreamy: What is it?

Poisonous Little Tang: Calling father, mother, uncle, aunt, dog, grandpa, grandma, and even their ancestors were called. Hell, that old thing was a seventh rank, Domain Lord cultivator.

Little Dreamy: …

Southern Vermillion: …

Lu Feng: …

Xiao Lin: …

Liu Mei: …

Everyone was speechless. They wondered if calling elders was considered a "trump card". Moreover, how could he win against a Domain Lord?

Poisonous Little Tang: Luckily, I was with my old man since I decided to formally propose to that girl at her family residence. So, without further ado, I called him, "Old man! I choose you!". But then, he slapped my head and cussed, "Fu*k!! Don't call me like a pokemon, damned brat!" just like that.

Johan couldn't help but chuckle reading the chats. As soon as he read the next chats, how shocked he was. If it was his father who acted, perhaps it wouldn't be surprising. But the fact that his father had only taken care of four enemies which were 3 Nascent Souls and one Domain Lord. Then Tang Wu himself wiped out all his enemies who had Golden Core strength and below which was quite surprising considering Tang Wu was only a fourth rank, External Foundation.

Lu Feng: Dude, seriously? I couldn't even handle so many Golden Core cultivators. How did you do that? Tell me, little Tang!

Poisonous Little Tang: It's pretty easy. Use your head instead of your mouth!

Lu Feng: Fu*k your mouth!!! 😡😡

Johan couldn't help but laugh after he read those chats. To think that Lu Feng who was known for his nasty mouth was defeated by Tang Wu.

Suddenly, someone tapped on his shoulder which made him jump in fright.

*Bang*

Johan unconsciously released his strength so that his jump was too high to hit the ceiling.

"Ouch!" Johan rubbed his head in pain. In fact, there was a crack in the ceiling. Then, someone called out to him.

"Hey, hey, little Yue Han. Are you alright?"

He was Qitian Dasheng who silently came back.

"Big bro, please don't surprise me like that! It isn't good for my heart."

"Hmmm. Since you're a cultivator. You need to be aware of your surroundings. Train your senses, so you won't be surprised when someone sneaks up behind you!"

Then Johan began to think. With his Empyreal Eyes, he believed that if he trained his eyes, nothing would escape his sight.

"Is it needed?"

Qitian Dasheng somehow could guess Johan's thought. So he advised him.

"Don't rely too much on your eyes even though they are special. The power of your eyes must have a limit. It's possible that if you overuse your eyes' abilities, bad things will happen. That's why I suggest training other senses besides the eyes."

Qitian Dasheng's words were correct. Knowing the world of cultivation, it wouldn't be strange if there was a place that blinded the senses of sight. So it would be better to train the other senses.

"Hmmm, sensing or looking without using my eyes, huh?" Johan murmured while nodding his head repeatedly.

Qitian Dasheng didn't know what was on Johan's mind. However, as long as he understood what he said earlier it was good enough.

The same day, 7.30 PM

Johan looked at the 2-story house in front of him. The area of ​​the house is about 120 square meters. The house looks so luxurious with automatic glass doors and several wide glass windows.

"Here's the certificate. Keep it safe!" Qitian Dasheng handed over the house certificate in Johan's name.

"B-big bro. This…" Johan stuttered. He didn't even know what to say.

"You don't want it? Since I wanted to live on earth, of course, I wanted a place to live. But I may return to the Jianghu world from time to time. And since you are a native of the earth, I want to entrust this house to you."

"But…"

"You don't need to worry about money. I bought this house for me to live in. Anyway, let's pack up your things in the apartment and move everything here!"

Johan couldn't argue with that and just sighed while nodding.

After he moved all the things to the new house. He found out that the house still didn't have WiFi installed. So, he called the admin to install WiFi in the new house while deactivating the WiFi in his apartment.

Unfortunately, the installation service can be done tomorrow. Knowing this, Johan took his new phone to send a message to his classmate because he couldn't stream because he had just moved.

That night, Johan went to the house's courtyard to cultivate. Since he didn't want something similar to happen where his Qi was capable of destroying the apartment, he self-consciously cultivated outside the house.

Johan's daily life went on as usual from time to time. Studying, streaming, cultivating, and sleeping are activities that he does every day.

Johan's strength is also increasing every day little by little. Until one month later, he had already unlocked the 10th node, one more step for him to break through to the second rank.

It was Saturday. He took the bus to the Weifang prefecture to meet his mother because he had not seen her for a long time.

The bus that Johan was riding on was speeding on Haixing county road, suddenly swaying and…

*Crash*

*Bang*

The bus was thrown and rolled many times due to the high speed and finally stopped after hitting a tree on the side of the road. Too bad, even though the bus had stopped, the fact that it was wrecked was inevitable.

Johan just groaned in pain while holding his head which was bumped. He who was now a cultivator was unharmed despite the accident earlier. It was just that his glasses broke which made him unable to see his surroundings clearly.

With no other way, he circulated his Qi and activated his Empyreal Eyes. Then, he could see everything normally. However, his Qi was drastically drained when using Empyreal Eyes. This was due to the unstable flow of Qi because he had not opened the meridian points that should have opened if he broke through the second rank.

Within his sight, he could see how terrifying the scenery around him was.

Blood splattered, the stomach was split open until the internal organs came out, the head was crushed or stuck in an iron bar, and all kinds of things. Johan couldn't hold it in which his stomach felt like throwing up everything.

He couldn't stand the sight he was seeing so he deactivated the Empyreal Eyes unconsciously.

When Johan tried to get off the bus carrying his bag, he heard a sound that gave him a chill.

"Ah, not enough souls. Looks like I still need a few more souls for me to break through to the third rank. Eh, it turns out that there are still some survivors."

Judging from his voice, that person sounded like a middle-aged man. What surprised Johan was that the accident this time was the work of that man who seemed to want to gather souls for his cultivation.

"This is bad. Since he mentioned he wanted to break through to the third rank, that means he is the second rank now." Johan murmured while gritting his teeth.
