Chapter 0001: Lightning Strike

A muffled thunder rumbled through the night sky

Leng Fei awoke from his daze, gazing at the bright moon and smiled to himself.

"Madam, rest assured," said the short and stout middle-aged man as he put down the book. "Xiao Fei is certainly not feeling well, but he would never think of doing anything rash!"

He has always firmly believed that his physical weakness is caused by this thunder seal

This... this... Fan Changfa also felt uneasy, not understanding the situation.

Is this truly my fate? Aspirations as high as the heavens, yet a life as fragile as paper

Thunder rumbled loudly, shaking the house

To live like an ant is worse than death; perhaps one might even be reborn in another life

"Xiao Fei, come in quickly, or you will get sick!" The tall and graceful Leng Mei stood in the corridor, waving her hand anxiously and calling out.

The section chief, Xiwen, has a fondness for elegant artifacts and refined interests, so he immersed himself in research and inadvertently unearthed a fragmentary ancient seal, which has a broken corner. It is said to be a thunder seal passed down from the lineage of Zhang Tianshi.

Cold Fei's hair stood on end, his clothes were in tatters, and his body was completely black as if he had just crawled out of ink. Only his pair of eyes shone brightly.

A rumble! Another muffled thunderclap sounded

"Hehe, you are still young and do not understand," Fan Changfa said with a proud smile, shaking his head

"It is not necessarily a bad thing to fall behind," said the short and stout middle-aged man. "His constitution is too weak; practicing martial arts would be tantamount to suicide!"

One feels guilty about the identity of being a reincarnated individual

It seems that I am truly not mad, but I am once again worried about his health. His constitution has always been weak; having been drenched by the rain and struck by lightning, how could he possibly be well

Boom! The thunder grew louder, and it seemed as if the heavens and the earth were shaking

Haha! Hahaha! Hahahahaha... Cold Fei suddenly burst into laughter, laughing uncontrollably

A weak body makes practicing martial arts tantamount to suicide

In the study, a short and stout middle-aged man sits in a rattan chair, calmly reading a book

Individuals with a cold constitution are weak, and even a slight exposure to rain can lead to illness

A man must not become someone above others, nor can he become the supreme one; otherwise, he would feel ashamed of having lived in this world

The bright moon is obscured by dark clouds, and the myriad stars are nowhere to be seen

He looked at the sky, despairing in his heart

Fan Changfa was entranced, watching her leave.

Fan Changfa also stared at him in astonishment

In the back garden of a three-section residence in the southwest corner, a slender young man stands with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing dreamily at the bright moon

How could he be fine after being struck by lightning! Leng Mei observed his normal behavior and secretly breathed a sigh of relief

This has been struck by lightning, how can one survive

He lay motionless on his back, allowing the raindrops to mercilessly pelt his face, hair, and clothes, quickly soaking them through

Leng Mei stopped struggling, her bright eyes wide open

Suddenly, a bright light flashed before their eyes, causing them to involuntarily close their eyes

Thus, he possesses a reaction speed that far exceeds that of ordinary individuals

The short and stout middle-aged man, busy with forced smiles, knew that mentioning suicide was a taboo for her: "Madam, in fact, living a simple and ordinary life is quite good. This way, you won't have to suffer from sleepless nights every day. The martial world is perilous, and one could easily face life-threatening dangers."

Crack!

Fan Changfa stamped his foot, and his heart sank

That being said, seeing Xiao Fei like this, I ... ...

Opposite me sits a stunningly beautiful woman, her delicate brows furrowed.

While others may take a long time to ponder a thought, he can complete dozens of thoughts in an instant, akin to the difference between a human brain from a past life and a computer

Along with it came that thunder seal, but the thunder seal seemed both present and absent, faintly lingering in the depths of the mind, yet invisible and intangible, like an illusion

Having been rejected by the Xiaoyao Hall for the tenth time, he did not harbor resentment, even though he was eighteen years old this year, which meant it was his last opportunity, as there would be no chance to apprentice and learn martial arts after turning eighteen

Sigh... the enchanting woman sighed softly: "Seeing him like that, my heart is shattered; I blame myself for being such an incapable sister"

Is your body alright

Raindrops fall in a pattering manner

His greatest pride was marrying Leng Mei, whose every unintentional frown and smile captivated him, leaving him unable to get enough of her.

In modern society, this is of no consequence

On a rainy day, he sat in the attic playing with this seal. A bolt of lightning struck, and he died on the spot, unable even to feel resentment or lingering regret.

Why can't I be the one to dominate others? Why can't I look down upon all beings?

Little Fei's fate is too harsh! The enchanting woman wipes the corners of her eyes: "Year after year, he has been rejected ten times; I truly fear he might lose hope!"

"Brother-in-law, we are already an old married couple!" Leng Fei patted him on the shoulder

He worked tirelessly to pass the civil service examination, exhausted all personal connections to enter the personnel department of the district, and then employed every means to climb the ranks.

The alluring woman shot him a displeased glance

He possesses an inherent ruthlessness; once he makes up his mind, he remains unwavering.

slender and graceful, seated elegantly

I went to make a bowl of hot soup. Cold Mei hurried away, and even in her haste, she still moved gracefully, her gait charming and elegant

While one's background is undoubtedly important, to resign oneself to it and accept a life of servitude renders existence devoid of any flavor

Knowing it is fake yet still purchasing it, this print, though damaged, still possesses an impressive aura; perhaps I might just stumble upon a hidden gem

In his previous life, when he entered university at the age of eighteen, standing on the rooftop of the university's teaching building, he suddenly had an epiphany while gazing at the bustling city illuminated by countless lights, gaining clarity about his inner self

As she was about to open her eyes and see her surroundings, Leng Mei exclaimed: "Xiao Fei—!"

In a world where martial arts flourish, being unable to practice martial arts means one is as insignificant as an ant, no matter how intelligent one may be

More importantly, using the opportunity to pick up bargains as bait to engage in discussions with the section chief can greatly enhance relationships

Boom

Leng Fei still carries lightning on him, and touching him will also result in an electric shock

People can only live this one life, and most live in a humble manner, constantly gauging the expressions of others, feeling small and submissive. A minority are able to dominate the destinies of others, standing high above the rest

A round bright moon hangs over the Jade City

Leng Fei laughed and said: "Unprecedentedly good! I will change into a different outfit first"

Ten thousand homes are lit, bustling and lively, the Emerald City is a city that never sleeps

However, with a strong spirit but a weak body, poor physical constitution, and unable to cultivate internal strength, without internal strength, the techniques he practices are merely superficial and lack substance, not worthy of being called a martial artist

The Xia Dynasty

If such a foundation exists in modern society, paired with his ambitions, after a hard climb, it is possible that he could truly reach the pinnacle.

Little—no—! The cold and charming voice cried out sharply as it rushed forward, only to be caught by Fan Changfa.

"Sister, I am not crazy!" Leng Fei turned his head and laughed, saying: "I am happy!"

The short and stout middle-aged man chuckled and said, "You... you, as the big sister, surpass being a parent. Which neighbor doesn't praise you?"

Furthermore, Leng Fei may not be dead; he might have only sustained serious injuries. Recklessly approaching him could exacerbate his condition, so it is most important to maintain a calm watch over him

The short and stout Fan Changfa waved his hand anxiously and said, "Xiao Fei, hurry up, don't make your sister worry!"

Yet, the moment he thought of the faint and elusive thunder mark in his mind, his heart sank. Even if he were to live again, he would still be unable to escape this thunder mark, remaining weak and feeble.

Below the innate realm, practicing martial arts not only does not prolong life but instead harms the body and shortens lifespan. A martial artist who does not enter the innate realm before the age of thirty will have a lifespan of only sixty years

It may be reincarnation, or it could be due to the legacy of the thunder mark; he possesses a strong spirit, not only has an extraordinary memory but also thinks with lightning speed

"Master..." Leng Mei cried out, "Xiao Fei can't be mad, can he?"

With a wife like this, what more could a husband desire

During thunderstorms, it becomes active, clearly displaying its presence; when there is no thunder, it disappears and becomes imperceptible

Upon waking, I had already become the infant of a middle-class family in Qingyu City

"My lord, do you think Xiao Fei might be in despair?" The woman's voice was soft and enchanting as she sighed, "I am just afraid he might get stuck in a dead end and not be able to find his way out"

He remained motionless, lost in thought under the bright moon.

The thunder mark emerged deep within Leng Fei's mind

Moreover, it seems that time has come to a standstill for her; despite having aged herself, she still resembles the way she did when she first got married

The bright moon is as radiant as a white jade plate, gently casting down its clear light

Seeing her struggle desperately, Fan Changfa hurriedly embraced her waist: "Madam, Madam, wait, he cannot move now!"

Leng Fei stepped forward, took out the scarf from her sleeve, gently wiped her delicate and charming face, and smiled, saying: "Sister, don't worry, I'm fine"
