Chapter 2: Tragic Crossing?

  The four guards were all exhausted, but Shangguan Yu still refused to yield. They had no choice but to admit that Shangguan Yu's will was simply too strong.

  Shangguan Yu's expression remained calm and unruffled. "You four continue, these are really nothing to me!"

  "Isn't it? Still nothing after being beaten like this?"

  "It seems I can no longer call him a useless feather, this willpower is something I don't have!"

  "Yes, there are just a few people who can reach his level."

  The onlookers were abuzz with discussion, and Wu Ziming's face grew increasingly unsightly. He had originally wanted to teach Shangguan Yu a lesson, letting him lose face in public, but instead he ended up helping him out. He really hadn't expected that Shangguan Yu could actually withstand the brutal beating of four guards.

  As the situation escalated, Wu Ziming gave a signal to his four guards and walked away in extreme frustration. He really didn't want to stay any longer, and he acknowledged that he was not as resilient as Shangguan Yu.

  "Third brother, how did you get hurt? Don't scare Qian Cheng, okay?"

  Only a delicate little girl ran over, her pink face full of worry. The little girl came to Shangguan Yu's side and tried to pull him up.

  Shangguan Yu forced a smile on his face, enduring the severe pain all over his body as he stood up. "Don't worry, little girl, Third Brother is fine, just fell down."

  "Third brother, stop teasing me! You must have been bullied by bad people. Go back and let daddy teach them a lesson!" The little girl waved her pink fist, as if she could chase away all the bad guys.

  This little girl is now six years old and is the youngest daughter of Shangguan Jinghong, Shangguan Qingcheng, and also the most beloved younger sister of Shangguan Yu.

  "Qing Cheng, hurry back home, this trash is not your brother! He's not even a member of our Upper Official family, don't believe me? Go ask Father."

  Shangguan Jiancheng didn't know when he walked over, looking at Shangguan Qingcheng's expression and frowning. He walked over and pulled away Shangguan Qingcheng.

  "Second brother, let me go! He is my third brother and also your younger brother, how can you be like this?"

  "You two come over and help me send Miss back home." Shangguan Jiancheng said to the two guards of Shangguan Yu.

  The two guards did not dare say more and could only carry Xiang Gong up to the entrance of the college.

  "Let me go, let me go! I want to be with San Ge. Hurry up and release me..."

  Shangguan Jing Cheng struggled, but how could a six-year-old escape from the hands of two imperial guards?

  "Qing Cheng, Third Brother is fine, you can go home now. Third Brother will take Qing Cheng out to play when he gets home."

  As expected, Shangguan Yu's words calmed Xiao Qingcheng down and also let the two guards breathe a sigh of relief. "Third Brother will be back soon, Qingcheng is waiting for Third Brother to take me out to play!"

  Shangguan Qingcheng waved goodbye to Shangguan Yu with a small hand and reluctantly walked into the carriage.

  The whole Shangguan family, Shangguan Yu had the best relationship with this younger sister. Shangguan Qingcheng had always liked to stick close to Shangguan Yu since she was young, liked playing together with him and being together with him. Shangguan Yu also used all his skills to make this younger sister happy, the two were closer than real siblings.

  The carriage gradually went further and further away, and Shangguan Yu sent off the carriage with his eyes until it disappeared from view.

  Shangguan Yu looked at Shangguan Jiancheng with a calm and indifferent expression, as if he were looking at a stranger. And Shangguan Jiancheng's gaze towards Shangguan Yu was even more like that of an enemy. These two people didn't look like brothers no matter how you looked at them; they didn't resemble each other in appearance, and their emotions were even less alike.

  Shangguan Jiancheng looked at Shangguan Yu and also found it strange, why did Shangguan Yu recover from such serious injuries every time the next day? He had restricted his subordinates from letting Shangguan Yu find a doctor to treat him. Then how did he heal his wounds?

  Shangguan Yu endured the intense physical pain, limping away. Having been beaten up by four guards today, he was seething with anger. This also further ignited his determination to become stronger, for only the strong could survive and the weak would be eliminated.

  In this world, might makes right and the law can't control those with high martial arts abilities. The Flying Feather Dynasty also rules by force, as long as one's martial arts cultivation is sufficient, they can completely disregard the law.

  Others might think it's supposed to be this way, but Yu Wei would never think so.

  He has memories from his past life, from the 21st century on Earth. This body is twelve years old, but he only has ten years of memories. For some reason, the memories of the first two years are very vague and can't be recalled.

  I remember the last day of my previous life, the sky was pouring with heavy rain, and thunder was rumbling. In my previous life, I was just an ordinary university student, who liked to read books and play video games in my free time. My life was really dull back then, and that rainy day, I had just left the internet cafe.

  He thought that if he were struck by lightning and then crossed over, it would be great. It's really been watching too many time-travel dramas, thinking of such things even on a rainy day, can't help but admire his boldness.

  He also wanted to, if he could cross into a different world and then refine his divine skills to become immortal, marry several beautiful wives. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Send me over! I want to cross over!"

  However, it's possible that the God of Thunder took pity on him or he was just extremely lucky.

  The most absurd and unthinkable thing happened, a bolt of lightning struck him. When he opened his eyes again, he was in this world, he had successfully crossed over.

  In his past life, he was an orphan and didn't marry or have children, so he had no attachments. Later on, he realized that this world was just like he imagined it to be - the strong preyed on the weak, and whoever had the biggest fist got to make the rules. At that time, he became excited, having read about so many people who had traveled through time and space and achieved great things.

  Transcender, either with exceptional innate talent, or having a mysterious mentor, or possessing a divine artifact, or having a special physique. Anyway, he's the kind that will be exceptionally formidable. He also found many things suspected to be ancient artifacts, and even went to some mysterious places, hoping to have an extraordinary encounter.

  But the reality was that he didn't have any of these things. What's more tragic is that he couldn't even cultivate! He started to lose faith, thinking that his body was special, and indeed it was different from ordinary people. But gradually, he discovered that he really couldn't cultivate, the heavenly energy that warriors cultivated had nothing to do with him.

  But Shangguan Yu was not a person who could be satisfied with being ordinary, he yearned to make a name for himself and be revered by all. Therefore, he had to become stronger, if he couldn't cultivate forever, then even just surviving would be a fantasy.

  In this world, he has parents. He can feel the love of his parents, motherly love is like the sea, fatherly love is like a mountain. In his past life, he didn't experience it, in this life, he doesn't clearly remember, but he can still feel it.

  This world is vast, he must be strong enough to find his parents. Not to mention the dangers, just the distance makes him desperate. Even if he were to travel by carriage, exhausting his entire life, he would not reach the other end of this world.

  Only the legendary great transcender, a foot away is heaven's end, separated by endless distance, one step can reach. Only when reaching that state, he may have the possibility to find his parents.

  Unable to step into the path of martial arts, he worked hard to cultivate his physical body. He also had an advantage, his physique was extraordinary.

  Every time he was injured, he recovered particularly quickly. Those flesh wounds could heal overnight. This allowed him to cultivate with peace of mind, anyway, even if he was injured, he would recover quickly.

  And he has an astonishing physical strength, which is now far beyond that of ordinary adults. He is only twelve years old this year and can reach such a level, which is already a miracle.

  Shangguan Yu lifted two large stone pedestals and tossed them upwards, catching them with both hands. This exercise was very dangerous, but it didn't put much pressure on his body. He could let the two large stone pedestals fly up and down on him.

  Shangguan Yu's training was simply playing with his life, every time it was a bloody splatter. He kicked a large tree barefoot and could kick until both feet were covered in blood foam. His double fists struck the giant rock, also striking until bones were broken and tendons snapped.

  It was precisely this kind of desperate cultivation that made his physical body stronger and stronger. He is not satisfied, relying on physical strength to be a general in the Flying Feather Dynasty is also possible. However, Shangguan Yu's goal is not to become a general in the Flying Feather Dynasty.

  "Cheers! Ah!"

  Shangguan Yu seemed to feel no pain and continued his frantic cultivation.

  After crossing over to this world, he didn't live well. When he had just crossed over, Shangguan Xinghong was especially fond of him. But three years later, she was also just so-so towards him. Until it was discovered that he couldn't cultivate martial arts, Shangguan Xinghong completely disliked him even more.

  He was later arranged to live in the residence of a lower-ranking official, and his food, clothing, and daily necessities were also at the same level as those of a lower-ranking official. Upper Official Jian Cheng even secretly instigated and fueled the flames behind his back, causing many lower-ranking officials to dare to bully him, this nominal young master.

  Shangguan Yu repeatedly practiced punching, straight punches, swinging punches, hook punches, jabbing punches, and whip punches. He also repeated side kicks, front kicks, side kicks with a twist, sweeps with the back of his foot, whip kicks, spinning horizontal kicks, and cutting kicks.

  No fatigue, no boredom, only repetition after repetition. He deeply understands that the foundation of martial arts is very important. Without a solid foundation, how can you build a skyscraper?

  Due to curiosity in his past life, he had read quite a few books on martial arts. The internet was so advanced that all sorts of martial arts concepts existed. Combining this with the world's knowledge of martial ways, Wang You silently worked hard according to his own understanding.

  He had read ancient books and knew that the world was very large. The Flying Feather Dynasty was located in the eastern part of the entire Tianxuan Continent, but the Flying Feather Dynasty was just a small dynasty after all.

  For him at the moment, the Feathered Empire is so powerful, but he understands that this is just because his level is not enough. The Feathered Empire is only in a remote place, if it were to be pulled to other places, it would have been destroyed countless times by now.

  Now thinking of these is indeed far-fetched, Shangguan Yu shook his head and continued to practice bitterly. In this world where strength is revered, everything can only be spoken with strength.

  "Father, mother, one day, I will definitely find you!" Shangguan Yu silently recited in his heart.

  The silver river suddenly splashed a wave of water, "Xiao Yu, are you okay? We're all starving to death waiting for you!"
