A new journey

The morning mist call curled around around the stone courtyard , a familiar site that Feng Hao had come to cherish. Tomorrow he would leave everything behind his home his clan and the safety of his childhood- to step in into the unknown world of junior academy.

He is tightened his grip around his Fire Sword,

It is glowing with his soul power.

Before him stood his two greatest teacher - his grandfather , Feng Tian and his grandmother, Lei Meng.

Feng Tian had been restless, forging him through months of training that tested the limits of his body and mind . His lessons had been harsh but necessary - power meant nothing without discipline.

Lei Meing , on the other hand taught him refinement. She was not a warrior who crushed her enemies but one who dismantled

then piece by piece. Speed, perception, adaptability - these were the foundation of her teachings.

And now , standing before them , he was ready.

Lei Meing 's eyes narrowed." One last test, Hao' er . Let see if you truly understand."

Feng Hao braced himself. He knew this battle wouldn't be about strength - it was about control.

The moment she vanished from sight , he reacted. No hesitation.

A whisper of wind - his instincts screamed at him.

He spun , raising his sword, and caught her strike just in time. The imapact sent a vibration through his arm but he held firm.

A small smirk flickered on Mei Liang's lips ."Good."

The. She disappeared again.

Left . Right. Above.

She attacked from every direction, forcing him to move -not to resist, but to flow with the battle . Instead of countering, the redirected.

Then , without warning, she

Unleashed a sharp burst of soul power.

A crushing force shot toward his chest.

Feng Hao had seconds to react.

Instead of fighting against it, he bent with the attack, allowing the momentum to carry him backward mid air he twisted letting the force past him.He jumped at the right time.

Silence.

Feng Hao landed a bit far away.

His grandmother removed the silver bracelet and placed it in his hand ,and said this will help regulate your soul power when you exhausted, used it well

Feng Hao ,"Thank you grandmother ."

From the Feng Tian, stand crosses armsand Said , " Now let us show how to survive in these world."

The morning sun pic over the horizon causing a warm golden glow over the Feng Hao 's courtyard a gentle breeze passed the tree bringing with it the warmth of the leaves.

At the clan gate, Feng Hao stood in the silence and his gauge fixed on the road ahead. His travel bag hung over his shoulder.

Despite his outward calm expression. His heart felt heavier than expected .

"You are hopeless."

A familiar voice sounded in his mind. His second soul awakened and says if previous world know there hero is nervous like a six year child they feel bad don't you feel ashamed to behave like a six year old child.

Feng Hao : you will not understand Because you are a old man of 500 years.

Second soul: and you think you are Six year old child.

Feng Hao: I think so there are many which I didn't feel in previous life so in this life,

I want to feel it that's why I am starting from the start .

Second soul: okkk, I don't want to start a argument with you. But why are standing here.

Feng Hao frowned." ...I'm thinking."

"Thinking? Or just being sentimental?"The second soul chuckled.

Feng Hao didn't reply.

How could he explain that this was the first time he was leaving home ?That despite his second life . He had no family in his previous life, He had no experience of these.

" You're treating this like a battlefield . It 's just an academy." Second soul

" Isn't it?" Feng Hao murmured.

" A piece of learning, not war."second soul

"But strength is everything in this world."Feng Hao

"True but that doesn't mean you should be on edge every second. you'll burn out."second soul

Feng Hao exhaled. He knew his second soul was right, but letting go off old habit wasn't easy .

"Besides ,"the second soul continued," you're not leaving forever. It's just a new stage ."

Feng Hao glanced back at the familiar faces of his family. Just a new stage? It didn't feel that simple.

His grandmother Lei meing approached first .

Despite her stern demenor, her softened and she said ." Don't let arrogance cloud your judgement."

Feng Hao bowed." I won't, Grandmother."

His mother step forward ,pulling him into a tight embrace. Her hands trembled.

"Promise me you will take care of yourself, Hao'er. Eat properly ,rest when needed and don't push yourself too hard."

Feng Hao felt a lump in his throat. He wasn't used to his mother being this emotional. He totally adapted this life. and start as anew beginning.

" I promise, Mother."

His father stood next to her ,his face unreadable. Then,vwith a firm grip ,he placed a hand on Feng Hao ' s shoulder .

"You have a long road ahead ,"he said ." The world outside is unforgiving ,but do not waver. No matter where you are ,remember this will always your home."

The , his grandfather, Feng Hao, step forward. He was a man of few words, but the weight of his presence alone spoke volumes.

He handed Feng Hao a small pouch.

" Coins , herbs, your daily necessities," he said.Then , in a quieter voice, he added,"survive first. Grow second. Win last."

Feng Hao clutched the pouch tightly.

" That means, don't act like an idiot," his second soul murmured.

Feng Hao rolled his eyes." I know."

Feng Tian gave him a long look ." And one more thing..."

He stepped closer, lowering his voice.

" You have talent, but talent alone will not guarantee survival. choose your battles wisely."

Feng Hao nodded seriously." I understand, Grandfather."

For a moment, there was only silence. Then, his mother wiped her eyes and force a smile .

"Go ,before I change my mind and keep you here forever."

Feng Hao chuckled softly. "Then I must sleep quickly."

His father motioned for him to follow.

"let's go."

With one last look at his family. Feng Hao turned and stepped onto the road.

His father walked alongside the carriage rather than riding inside .

For a long time, neither spoke.

Feng Hao glanced at his father ' s calm expression." Father... why did you decide to take me yourself?"

"Because I know what it means to leave home for the first time ."

Feng Hao hesitated before asking," were you nervous when you left?"

His father let out a rare chuckle." I was.But I didn't show it."

Feng Hao smirked." Then , I must be like you."

" No, you're not," his second soul interjected. "you were literally standing at the gate for five minutes thinking of a reason to stall."

Feng Hao 's eye twitched. " Shut up."

His father raised a brow but didn't speak.

Feng Hao: Father why didn't I see brother, and little sisters.

Father: In our family there is a tradition that when a younger go to academy, no body in the family, Clan have the knowledge which academy they have gone , also city It is only known to head of the clan and father or the guardian who take the to the academy child only.

Feng Hao: This is harsh.

Father : This is for safety. You know I meet your mother in the academy, I was helpless new environment,unknown faces then I was become to friends with your mother.

Feng Hao: Dad your are saying, these type of harsh rule is for finding partner. In this case tell me how many partners you want me to find for my self, and run away.

Father : you brat, wait where are you running.
