Chapter 2: The Awakening

Chapter 2: The Awakening

The world outside was still shrouded in darkness when Han Ye's mind jolted awake.

'Ding!'

A crisp, mechanical sound echoed in his consciousness, making him stiffen. His breathing grew heavy, his heart pounding wildly.

'Could it be…?'

For sixteen years, he had accepted the reality of being ordinary. No system, no heaven-defying talent, no miraculous grandfather bestowing divine inheritances. He was just another young man struggling to make something of himself in this world where strength ruled.

But now—

[Ding! Detected Host's official marriage. Awakening Supreme Dao Companion System.]

Han Ye's breath hitched. His body trembled as an ethereal screen appeared in his mind's eye.

[System initializing…]

[Binding Complete.]

[Congratulations! The host has successfully married two Dao Companions. Activating initial rewards.]

[+10 years of cultivation comprehension.]

[+500 Body Tempering Points.]

[+Spirit Sea Realm, Level 1.]

Boom!

A surge of pure, untainted energy erupted within Han Ye's body. His bones creaked, his meridians trembled, and his blood roared like a river in flood. He could feel it—a warm, vast ocean forming within him, replacing the weak and fragile energy he had struggled to cultivate all these years.

The Spirit Sea Realm!

Han Ye's eyes widened in disbelief. Just yesterday, he was barely at the Body Transformation Realm, Level 5, struggling to make progress. Yet now, he had directly broken through the shackles that had plagued him for years, stepping into the next major realm in an instant.

"This…" He clenched his fists, feeling the surge of strength coursing through his veins.

Was this the power of the system?

Just as he was about to celebrate, another notification popped up.

[Ding! Detected dual Dao Companions. System enhancement activated!]

[Partner Cultivation Boost: When cultivating with Dao Companions, comprehension speed is doubled, and breakthrough probability increases by 50%.]

[Passive Synchronization: Dao Companions share cultivation benefits. If one improves, all improve together.]

Han Ye's mind buzzed.

Did this mean that as he got stronger, Luo Xin and Luo Jin would also improve?

His gaze fell upon the two sleeping figures beside him. Under the dim candlelight, Luo Xin and Luo Jin lay quietly, their faces flushed from the aftermath of their union. Their serene expressions carried traces of exhaustion, but there was also an inexplicable radiance about them.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Luo Xin stirred. Her delicate brows twitched as she slowly opened her eyes.

"Ah…" She let out a soft, confused sound before her eyes widened. She clutched the blanket tightly, her expression shifting between shyness and panic.

At the same time, Luo Jin groggily woke up as well. When she noticed Han Ye staring at them, her face turned crimson.

"H-Husband…"

Han Ye smiled wryly. Even after two lives, he wasn't exactly experienced in dealing with such situations. He cleared his throat and said, "Morning."

Luo Xin and Luo Jin exchanged glances before nodding timidly. But before they could say anything more, both of them suddenly gasped.

"Eh? My cultivation…" Luo Xin's eyes widened. She hurriedly sat up, crossing her legs as she inspected her internal energy.

Luo Jin also closed her eyes for a moment before looking at Han Ye in disbelief. "Our cultivation… advanced?"

Indeed, both of them had directly broken through from Body Transformation Realm, Level 9 to the Spirit Sea Realm, Level 2!

The room fell into stunned silence. Luo Xin and Luo Jin stared at Han Ye with wide eyes.

"Husband, did you… do something?" Luo Xin asked hesitantly.

Han Ye exhaled deeply, a confident smile creeping onto his face.

"It seems…" he said, stretching his arms, "that I am no longer ordinary."

For sixteen years, he had believed himself to be just another nameless character in this vast world. But now, he had a chance—a real chance—to carve his own legend.

And this was just the beginning.

"Come," Han Ye said, his eyes burning with newfound determination. "Let's cultivate together."

From today onward, he would walk the path of supremacy—with his wives by his side.
