Chapter 1 Rebirth

  When the sun sends out its first rays of sunlight, Chen Xuan also circulates the Grand Heavenly Cycle thirty times, and some of the true energy in his elixir field is converted into spiritual energy. Each time he converts it, Chen Xuan's actual strength increases once.

  Arriving at the hospital, I started doing radio exercises from my past life, stretching out my whole body. After sitting for a night, my whole body felt numb. Stretching out my body, I felt refreshed and invigorated.

  "Master, you can wash up now."

  Ling'er fetched a basin of clear water and came into Chen Xuan's room.

  "Leave it there, I'll go in a while."

  Chen Xuan's set of radio exercises is not yet complete.

  "Master, what are you doing? You're so slow, it's even faster to fight!"

  The little girl seemed unable to understand what Chen Xuan was doing.

  "Ling'er, you don't understand, this is gymnastics, for exercising the body, not for practicing boxing, and this isn't a boxing technique either."

  Chen Xuan explained to Xiao Yatou.

  Three days passed in the blink of an eye, Chen Xuan didn't go anywhere, just stayed at home to transform his spiritual power and continued to hone the second slash of the Seven Kills Blade.

  Having reached the ninth rank of the day after tomorrow, Chen Xuan's slash had already reached the realm of great accomplishment. The speed at which he drew his sword was no longer visible to the naked eye, and all that could be seen was a flash of sword light, followed by the sound of a tree trunk as thick as a bowl breaking in two.

  The sword was drawn and sheathed in less than a blink of an eye, even Lao Li couldn't help but sigh, that he himself hadn't reached this level.

  Although the Seven Kills Sword was created by Lao Li, it has already surpassed its creator, with Chen Xuan having honed it to an even higher level.

  Lui Lao told himself that his Seven Kills Sword was a top-grade earth-level treasure, and now he had further enhanced the quality of the Seven Kills Sword. Could it be comparable to a heavenly-grade martial skill? Chen Xuan had never come into contact with a heavenly-grade martial skill, so he couldn't make a comparison.

  On the third day of dawn, the whole family was busy. Today is Chen's annual Coming-of-Age Day, and all boys who have reached the age of 14 must participate. This time, there are more than a dozen fourteen-year-old boys in the Chen family.

  "Master, hurry up, we're going to be late."

  Ling'er urged him repeatedly.

  This morning, Chen Xuan's mother sent over a set of clothes. Chen Xuan really didn't like wearing them and looked like a flower girl when he put them on. No matter how he looked at himself, it was just awkward. He stayed in the house and couldn't bring himself to go out the door.

  "Alas, there's no way around it, the whole family has to be like this. What's the point of attending an adult ceremony if you're going to dress yourself up like that?"

  Chen Xuan couldn't help but laugh at the thought of it - a high hairpin and a bright red cheongsam.

  Chen Xuan's body was remade, his skin turned white, and he looked elegant and refined. After this makeover, he was even more beautiful than a girl.

  Chen Xuan looked at himself in the copper mirror, left and right, and couldn't help but laugh. He thought he was good enough now. It was time to go to the family's ancestral square for the coming-of-age ceremony. The so-called coming-of-age ceremony was just a ritual where the elders of the family would give some advice to the young people who were about to become adults, and then they would kowtow a few times in front of their ancestors.

  Pushing open the door, Chen Xuan walked out. His father and mother had both gone to the square to busy themselves, only this little girl Ling'er was urging Chen Xuan on.

  "Ling'er, let's go."

  "Young master, you look very handsome today."

  The little girl giggled as she ate.

  "Ling'er, even you are teasing your young master."

  "What I'm saying is true, young master will definitely be the highlight of today."

  "You little girl, your mouth is too poor. I'm a young master, should say handsome, not pretty."

  "Young master, what does 'shuai' mean?"

  Ling'er asked in confusion.

  "Alas."

  Chen Xuan didn't know how to respond, handsome was a word from his previous life, and no one here could understand it.

  "Handsome means you think I look good, got it?"

  Wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead, Chen Xuan barely managed to get through it.

  Today, Chen Xuan did not carry the long knife on his back, but instead placed it in the Lingjie.

  The two of them came to the square prepared by the family, laughing and chatting all the way. In the middle of the martial arts arena, a high platform was built, with some benches around it for spectators to watch. Generally, people from Hongling Town who have a good reputation will come to watch.

  When Chen Xuan arrived at the square, almost everyone had arrived. He found his mother and sat down beside her, waiting for the family's coming-of-age ceremony to begin.

  "Xuan'er, your outfit today is too beautiful! It was made by the best tailor in town that Mom found for you. What do you think? Do you like it?"

  Chen Xuan's mother said.

  Qian Xuan's black hair.

  "Yeah, it's pretty good."

  Chen Xuan said helplessly.

  "What else can I do if I don't like it? Can I just not wear it?" Chen Xuan muttered to himself.

  At the top of the square, there were over a dozen chairs arranged, which were seats for the head of the household and the elders of the family.

  "Xuan Di, your outfit today is really beautiful."

  At this time, a young man came over beside Chen Xuan, opening his eyes and winking at him.

  "Brother Liang, if you want to laugh, just laugh, don't hold it in and get sick."

  Chen Xuan furrowed his brow and said.

  "This outfit is absolutely perfect for you, it wouldn't have the same effect on anyone else."

  After finishing speaking, Chen Liang Yu burst out laughing, "A good young master, dressed up like a girl, I really couldn't hold it in."

  Chen Liangyu said with a smile.

  At this time, the people around also looked over and saw Chen Xuan wearing a big red dress, paired with fair skin, and he was even more beautiful than the girl, and they all burst out laughing.

  "Is it that funny?"

  Chen Xuan's head is full of black lines.

  "The master of the house has arrived."

  At this time, the host of the adult ceremony said that everyone had put away their smiles and became serious.

  The host of the Chen family, Chen Batian, walked to the high platform with a majestic gait, followed by more than a dozen people, including Chen Xuan's father, who sat down in the prepared chair.

  "Please speak, master of the house."

  Chen Batian arrived at the center of the high platform, looking around at the Chen family youths. Suddenly, there was complete silence below, everyone waiting for the master's words.

  "Not bad."

  Pausing for a moment, he then swept away these few remaining ones.

  "This generation of young men is even more outstanding than the previous one, you are the future of the Chen family, and the future of the Chen family depends on you. Today is the day when you shed your youth and become a real man, to be a man is to live like a man, there are no cowards among the sons of the Chen family. From today onwards, you will have to create your own path, all cultivation resources from now on will depend on your own efforts, in order to obtain them from the family. Are you all prepared?"

  Chen Batian let out a loud shout, his voice echoing across the entire square.

  "We're ready."

  The youth on the verge of adulthood shouted back.

  The host's generous words stirred up all the youthful emotions.

  "The coming-of-age ceremony is about to begin."

  Gongs and drums rose to heaven. All the young men who were about to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony slowly walked onto the high platform, listening to the words of their elders from various families.

  Chen Xuan's father appeared in front of Chen Xuan.

  "Xuan'er, your father has nothing to instruct you on. You're doing well now. Whatever you do in the future, make sure it aligns with your conscience. Don't do anything that goes against heaven and reason. Hongling Town won't be able to hold you back in the future. The path you'll take will be much farther-reaching. If you succeed, you must take care of your family. Without a family, there wouldn't be a Chen family today, nor would there be you. Do you understand?"

  Chen Xuan's father said with deep emotion.

  "Don't worry, Father. I won't do anything that goes against the law of heaven and human ethics. Family matters are also my matters. As long as the family needs me, I will help without hesitation."

  He simply said a few words to Chen Xuan, and Chen Xuan's father retreated, his own son had reached this point and he really didn't have anything to instruct him about.

  After all the elders had finished instructing their children and withdrawn.

  "All grown-up young people visit their ancestors at the family shrine."

  At this time, the host continued to say.

  Chen Xuan walked down from the high platform, dragging his bright red clothes behind him.

  Just as he had descended halfway down the stairs, he heard someone hastily running up onto the high platform and saying something to the master of the house.

  "The master of the house is in trouble, the Wu and Li families have come to our Chen family to settle scores."

  As soon as this was said, the entire Chen family was shocked.
