Chapter 1: Issues of Character

"Demon beast, could it be that I have just crossed over and am to become a meal in the belly of this demon beast?" Lu Shaoyou was utterly astonished; in his previous life, he had never seen such a gigantic eagle. He then let out a helpless smile, feeling sorry for himself as he realized he was unable to move. If this demon beast were to eat him, he could only watch helplessly.

"It can't be a demon beast, can it?" A fearful term flashed through Lu Shaoyou's mind. From the information left in his mind, Lu Shaoyou learned that this world was completely different from his original one. It was a world where martial prowess was revered, vast and boundless. In this world, there existed demon beasts and spirit beasts, as well as martial artists and spirit masters.

A whistling sound entered Lu Shaoyou's ears, as if some creature were swimming in the water, moving at an extremely fast speed

As the sky began to brighten, Lu Shaoyou slowly awakened, contemplating a piece of news he had just received in his mind. Lu Shaoyou nearly fainted once again!

"I am doomed." Lu Shaoyou felt a chill in his heart; having just crossed over, he was already destined to become a meal for a demon beast. Such a fate was truly unfortunate.

The young master, who has traversed to this world, is unfortunately unable to become a martial artist or a spiritual master, which is why his status within the family is so dismal, even inferior to that of a servant

The person who has traversed into this world is indeed a young master. What is remarkable is that this young master is also named Lu Shaoyou, and he is sixteen years old this year. However, this young master is a illegitimate child, and his status within the family is even lower than that of a servant. He has a mother who is a concubine, originally a servant in the family. After giving birth to this young master, she has been further oppressed by the legitimate wife, living a life worse than that of a servant.

This mother and son often suffer oppression from their relatives, and even the servants in their household do not regard them as important. In particular, the several maids and servants around the original wife have bullied the mother and son since childhood.

Struggling to swim towards the edge of the pond, Lu Shaoyou couldn't help but curse under his breath. It felt as if his legs had been broken; at first, his arms seemed fine, but now, with a slight exertion, he realized they were also fractured. He was utterly unable to exert even a fraction of strength. Not only was it impossible to move to the edge of the pond, but even shifting a little was out of the question.

This white mist erupted, and a bone-chilling cold spread through the air, quickly freezing the entire pool into blocks of ice under this cold.

Lu Shaoyou saw a beast resembling a bat, which opened its sharp mouth to reveal two rows of pointed fangs. In one bite, it tore open the belly of the giant eagle beast, and a青色 round bead, the size of an infant's fist and completely transparent, rolled onto the ice surface, stained with a trace of blood

After speaking, Lu Shaoyou could not help but begin to contemplate a practical issue: he was currently lying diagonally in this pool of water, seemingly resting against a dead tree. The water was icy, and it was likely the depths of winter; perhaps he had long since become numb to the cold. Now, immersed in this pool, he realized he had little awareness of his surroundings.

"Chirp, chirp." As the bat-like demon beast emitted its sound, a stream of white mist suddenly burst forth from its mouth, much to Lu Shaoyou's astonishment

Just as Lu Shaoyou was in despair, a flash of black light suddenly appeared before his eyes. A shadow leaped up from behind him in an instant, moving with such speed that all Lu Shaoyou could see was a gigantic flying demon beast, over a hundred meters long, resembling a bat, entirely pure white. From Lu Shaoyou's perspective, it seemed that there was a massive gash on the underside of the beast, with blood flowing profusely, indicating that it was injured

Bang! Bang!

Reflecting on his pitiable circumstances after the time travel, Lu Shaoyou felt a sense of helplessness, wondering whether his character was poor or good. In his previous life, he had not done anything commendable, so it was likely that his character was not particularly admirable either

It seems that you harbor quite a bit of resentment. As for your grievances, I, Lu Shaoyou, will certainly find an opportunity to avenge you.

The giant bird spread its wings wide, circling directly above Lu Shaoyou. It resembled an eagle, with green feathers and white down underneath. Its two sharp claws were curved, glinting coldly, and this giant eagle was intently watching him with its piercing eyes

Oh heavens, please don't put me through this!" Lu Shaoyou helplessly cursed at the sky, realizing that he was completely immobilized and would inevitably freeze to death.

Just yesterday, because this young master had a few words of defiance, he was violently beaten by them. As a result, he died unexpectedly. It is estimated that in their panic, those few people did not even know where they had thrown this young master, and the body ended up in a pool at the bottom of the cliff, while he himself experienced a sudden turn of fortune and crossed over into the body of this young master.

"Where is this place, and how did I end up in this cursed location?" Lu Shaoyou surveyed his surroundings, beginning to contemplate the memories that lingered in his mind, memories that did not belong to him.

Having confirmed that he had traversed time, Lu Shaoyou felt no reluctance whatsoever; instead, he felt as if he had attained liberation. In his previous life, he was neither the son of an official, nor the child of a wealthy family, and certainly not a star's offspring. His future had been utterly bleak.

A scream caused by a sudden headache made Lu Shaoyou feel as if an inexplicable force was crashing into his mind, and he soon fainted again

As Lu Shaoyou was contemplating whether the demon beast was approaching him, a series of screeches echoed from above. Suddenly, it seemed as if a dark cloud had flashed before his eyes, and a gigantic bird, over a hundred meters in size, appeared in the sky.

Whoosh ... ...

After the two demon beasts collided several times, Lu Shaoyou observed that the giant eagle demon beast retracted its sharp claws and flapped its wings, creating a massive gust of wind, as its claws fiercely lunged towards the bat-like demon beast.

In the sky, the giant eagle let out a shriek, its eyes flashing with ferocity. With a powerful flap of its wings, it swooped down, generating a fierce wind. Its talons contracted and then instantly extended, diving down like a bolt of lightning.

As soon as Lu Shaoyou's voice fell, a sense of clarity suddenly enveloped his mind, as if a surge of turbid energy had instantaneously dissipated from within his consciousness

Hmm, where am I?

Ah ... ...

Quack quack ... ...

Creak.

With a loud bang, the giant eagle landed on the ice surface ahead, causing the ice to shatter and crack. The bat-like demon beast appeared to be extremely weak at this moment, and then slowly moved across the ice to position itself in front of the giant eagle.

In the previous life, there were no attachments or burdens, and the future seemed bleak. Even if I have crossed over, perhaps I can still make a name for myself in this new world. Based on the time I spent reading time-travel novels in my past life, none of the characters who traveled through time ended up poorly. Each one either had numerous wives and concubines or stood out in a different realm. At the very least, they became wealthy and powerful. Surely, I won't be too unfortunate either

Shaking his heavy head, Lu Shaoyou felt the dampness surrounding him, and his entire body ached to the point of numbness. A cold wind swept through, brushing against him, causing him to shiver involuntarily

Lu Shaoyou recalled that he had just graduated from a third-rate university and found a job as an office assistant. While he was helping an elderly lady in the office with photocopying documents, unexpectedly, the photocopier malfunctioned and he experienced a stroke of luck, leading to his unexpected journey through time.

At this thought, Lu Shaoyou felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly opened his eyes and discovered that he was surrounded by darkness. Above him, there was a crescent moon. After a moment, he was able to see clearly, illuminated by the faint moonlight, that he was in a pool of water, and it was likely the dead of night.

Lu Shaoyou felt that there seemed to be some animal rapidly jumping behind him, while at the same time, he sensed the feeling of wings flapping against the surface of the water, creating ripples, and he too was being carried forward by the rising waves

In the sky, the giant eagle beast was instantly frozen into an ice block, and then its massive body plummeted straight down.

Swish swish

"Considering that we are both named Lu Shaoyou, I have used your body again. I will take the opportunity to avenge you, and I will take care of your mother in the future," Lu Shaoyou muttered to himself

In that fleeting moment, the two enormous beasts in the sky collided completely, producing a continuous cacophony of screeches and groans. Lu Shaoyou lay face up in the pond, unable to move as the water surface rippled around him.

"I have struck it rich; I have crossed over. Is this a dream?" Lu Shaoyou stared wide-eyed at his surroundings. From the information he gathered in his mind, combined with the countless time-travel novels he had read, Lu Shaoyou was certain that he had indeed crossed over. Such an opportunity was rarer than winning a lottery of one hundred million; yet, he had encountered it.

Moments later, Lu Shaoyou felt an impulse to commit suicide, wondering if he could traverse again. While others who traversed were either young masters or princes, at the very least they were elegant and extraordinary scions of prominent families or powerful factions.

Since I have come, I shall make the best of it. Lu Shaoyou has no other choice. Having narrowly escaped death, one cannot die again. Regardless of the circumstances, surviving is a blessing. May it be that surviving a great calamity will bring future fortune.

Warriors and Spirit Masters hold a very high status in this world, especially the Spirit Masters, whose status is even more exalted.
