From the moment he was born, Ye Huan had always believed he was incredibly lucky, especially after smoothly completing elementary school, middle school, and high school, eventually gaining admission to China's most prestigious institution, Tsinghua University. This feeling only intensified.
However, on his first day reporting to campus, as hundreds of beautiful girls chased after him, Ye Huan felt an overwhelming sense of misfortune. It seemed that all the bad luck in the world had befallen him, particularly when he found himself clutching a pair of pink lace panties.
"Pervert! Get that pervert!" "Quick, catch him! He must be the one who stole my leopard-print underwear!" "Don't let him get away!"
Hearing the shouts of the girls behind him, Ye Huan ran even faster, cursing under his breath. It was true that the women's underwear had fallen onto him when a gust of wind blew it down from the girls' dormitory. Why wouldn’t they believe his explanation?
The distance between them gradually increased as Ye Huan poured every ounce of strength into his legs. Just as he thought he might finally shake them off, one of the many Mother Tyrannosaurs at Tsinghua hurled a book at his head.
"Ah!"
With a scream, Ye Huan was struck and fell to the ground, blood streaming from his head.
In the moments before losing consciousness, he clearly saw bloodstains on the book that had hit him and could only wonder:
'What on earth is this book?'
.........................................................................................
In the early morning, as the first rays of sunlight illuminated the Ye Family estate in Huaxia, everyone in the household couldn’t help but yawn heavily.
For a full day and night, whether it was Ye Tian, the patriarch of the Ye Family, or Ye San, the lowest servant in the household, they had been waiting by Ye Huan's bedside for him to wake up.
Perhaps it was the sincerity of over a hundred family members that moved heaven and earth, or perhaps Ye San unconsciously sneezed; whatever it was, at that moment, Ye Huan finally opened his eyes. But as soon as he did, he blurted out a question that made Ye Tian want to bang his head against a wall: "Where am I?"
As the head of the Ye Family, considering their reputation, Ye Tian wished that Ye Huan would never wake up. After all, as the second-generation heir of the family, it was one thing to encounter ruffians while trying to rescue a damsel in distress; it was another entirely to be knocked out by a group of street thugs instead. If word got out about this incident, it would bring terrible shame upon the Ye Family.
Yet again, no matter what happened, Ye Huan was still Ye Tian's son. Thinking of his late wife brought tears to his eyes as he rushed forward to embrace his son. With snot and tears streaming down his face, he cried out loudly: "Ye Huan! I am your father! Have you lost your memory?"
Crying, Ye Tian wiped his tears and snot on his son Ye Huan's snow-white robe.
If it were the old Ye Huan, Ye Tian's actions would have been inconsequential. Unfortunately, the Ye Huan lying on the bed was no longer the same. Inside him resided a soul from the Twenty-First Century, and thus...
"Who the hell are you? Can you not wipe your snot on my clothes?"
Pushing away the lecherous uncle who was tightly hugging him, Ye Huan muttered to himself while trying to figure out what had just happened.
Soon, two different memories appeared in Ye Huan's mind. One memory told him that he came from the Twenty-First Century and was an unfortunate soul who had been crushed to death by a book while wearing a lace thong. The other memory revealed that he was a good-for-nothing young master of the Ye Family from Huaxia Nation, who had failed to save a beauty and was instead knocked unconscious by a few ruffians. As for the strange uncle he had just pushed away, that was his father.
Transmigration! The Ye Huan from the Twenty-First Century quickly pieced together the most plausible explanation for his current situation and found evidence in the memories belonging to this body’s original owner:
Nine Provinces Continent, Huaxia Nation, the royal capital, warriors, mages, summoners! Strange place names and professions that only appeared in online games indicated that this was a foreign world!
Notably, these professions had strict level classifications akin to various online games. For instance, warriors were divided into levels one through Tenth Level; with each level increase, their abilities grew stronger. The same applied to the other two professions.
For example, Ye Huan's father, Head of the Ye Family Ye Tian, was a Ninth Level Warrior, one of the top experts in all of Huaxia Nation and the one who established the current Ye Family.
Having organized his memories up to this point, Ye Huan discreetly glanced at Ye Tian, whom he had just pushed away. However, no matter how he looked at it, he did not perceive any aura of a master from Ye Tian; instead, he resembled more of a lecherous uncle.
Noticing Ye Huan's peculiar gaze, Ye Tian seemed to sense something. His expression gradually turned serious as an invisible pressure emanated from him, causing the temperature in the room to drop significantly. The people waiting inside hurriedly fled outside. In the blink of an eye, only Ye Tian and his son Ye Huan remained in the large room.
"Ye Huan, as a descendant of the Ye Family, don’t you think it’s shameful to be knocked out by a few ruffians?" Staring intently at Ye Huan, Ye Tian could no longer hold back. He could forgive amnesia but could never accept that his son—a Ninth Level Warrior—had been taken down by mere ruffians!
Ye Huan remained unyielding; sensing Ye Tian's fury, he feigned ignorance and casually replied, "Ruffians? What ruffians? What do you mean knocked out?"
"...."
Silence. An eerie silence...
Ye Huan's words nearly caused Ye Tian to choke. Although he had anticipated that Ye Huan might have lost his memory, he never expected him to forget so completely, even the details of how he had fallen unconscious.
After a long pause, Ye Tian sighed, "Well, amnesia isn't all bad. Here’s the plan: I’ll have someone come to test your physique shortly. Based on that, we’ll decide your future cultivation path. Until you reach a strength beyond Third Rank, you should stay at home quietly."
"Ah? Why?" Ye Huan looked at Ye Tian in confusion, unable to understand why his outings would be restricted. For someone who had crossed over, it was essential to familiarize himself with the current environment.
"Why? For the honor of the Ye Family! I won’t let anyone say that my son, Ye Tian, is worse than a Ruffian!" Ye Tian roared like a mad lion.
Outside the room, many servants overheard the conversation between father and son and shared a common thought: Can Ye Huan really do it?
Long ago, in the capital of Huaxia Nation, almost everyone knew the name Ye Huan. Even the youngest princess in the palace once said that if Ye Huan could kill a chicken before his twentieth birthday, she would marry him!
Though marrying a princess to Ye Huan seemed far-fetched, her words stirred up quite a commotion in the capital. Betting pools were opened on whether Ye Huan could indeed kill a chicken before turning twenty, with many gamblers wagering their life savings on him.
Five years had passed. The little princess was now eighteen and blossoming into a young woman, while the name Ye Huan gradually faded from people’s lips. No gambler believed they would ever see their money again; they all chose to remain silent about it.
With such a precedent, it was no wonder that the servants of the Ye Family felt that Ye Huan was even less capable than a Ruffian.
"Testing my physique? Didn’t I undergo a physique test before?"
Recalling his memories, Ye Huan knew that to become strong, one must first undergo a physique test to determine their future profession. However, he found it strange that his current body clearly belonged to an adult around twenty years old—similar to his age in his previous life. Hadn’t there been a physique test conducted at this age?
After careful reflection, he finally recalled a scene from five years ago:
It was a sunny afternoon when all the top-tier experts above level eight in the capital gathered at the Ye Family's residence to test the physique of Ye Huan, son of a Ninth-Level Expert. Among them were two Ninth-Level Court Mages and two Ninth-Level Court Summoners from the palace, as well as a Ninth-Level Warrior from the Zhao Family in the capital. Even the little princess had come out of curiosity, cradling her pet—a plump hen.
In terms of quality, these individuals were among the best in Huaxia Nation; in terms of quantity, five Ninth-Level Experts could easily destroy a large city.
Yet amidst such an impressive assembly, an unexpected incident occurred before their eyes.
Under the watchful eyes of many, just as the five Ninth-Level Experts were about to begin testing Ye Huan, the little princess's pet broke free from her arms and charged at Ye Huan. It pecked fiercely at Ye Huan's small backside, causing him to faint from the pain. As a result, the test had to be abandoned, leaving Ye Huan with a lasting impression of being afraid of 'chickens' in the little princess's heart.
Since that incident, the young Ye Huan had developed a deep-seated fear of physical tests, repeatedly refusing his father Ye Tian's requests. If it weren't for the fact that Ye Huan had been knocked out by a few small Ruffians this time, Ye Tian likely wouldn't have forced him into undergoing a physical test.
Time passed slowly...
As the sun rose from the east and climbed higher into the sky, a dozen elderly men with white hair appeared at the entrance of the Ye Family.
Each of them wore an extravagant bright red robe, holding either a magical staff adorned with a massive Transparent Crystal orb or a Crystal Longsword that reflected colorful light.
Only one elder was somewhat unique; he held a book made of crystal!
These individuals were all powerful figures invited by Ye Tian for Ye Huan, each possessing strength no less than level eight.
Unfortunately, this time there would be no appearance from the little princess of Huaxia Nation, nor would there be that detestable old hen that had caused so much trouble for Ye Huan.
Without any unnecessary words or pleasantries, in the blink of an eye, these powerful figures were all invited into Ye Huan's room. It was evident that Ye Tian was quite concerned about Ye Huan being unable to handle a few Ruffians.
In contrast, Ye Huan remained remarkably calm in the face of so many strong individuals, showing no signs of fear. This alone left a good impression on the dozen experts present.
However, they could never have imagined that Ye Huan had no concept of what it meant to be strong in this world, let alone any feelings of fear.
Observing his son's demeanor, Ye Tian nodded in satisfaction. Clearing his throat, he spoke up, "Then please begin the test!"
