Along a windless night on a street devoid of any lifeforms, Jiang Chen was slowly walking down the street. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a storefront with the gla.s.s broken. He walked over to the store and peered in. The store was a jewelry store but all the displays were broken and there were three people inside crowding over someone."Help!"
There was a girl around the age of 15 to 16 and 2 people with masks were trying to rip the clothing of the girl. Anyone with a brain will make out that the people were trying to do something for the girl.
"Help, please save me!"
The girl had streams of tear on her face as she tried to make her way towards Jiang Chen.
"Hey, you shouldn"t do this!" Jiang Chen shouted as he took a poor defensive pose that he learned in a program that his school held a year ago.
"Kid, go back home to your mother. We don"t have time for your stupid nonsense."
Jiang Chen was already out of shape because of his weak heart. His head went blank and just charged straightforward. One of the masked people swept his leg and made Jiang Chen fall just in front of the girl. Jiang Chen pushed himself up and did a hook at the masked person. The masked person pulled out a taser and shocked Jiang Chen"s left chest right above the heart.
"Yo man, let"s go! The cops are here! I don"t think that you would like your a** back in jail for a few years!"
The two masked people ran out of the store as siren sound filled the air. Jiang Chen"s sight began to darken and soon he collapsed from the pain on his chest. The next thing he knew he was in a white room with a constant beeping. He looked to the side and saw a policewoman sitting in a chair.
"h.e.l.lo, Jiang Chen, My name is Zhi Rou. I am the Deputy Chief of the Police Force. I would like to thank you for the heroic act of protecting one of our citizens."
"No problem. I was just doing my duty as a citizen,"
"We will come and get you after you rested to give us a description of what the criminals looked like,"
"Ok,"
Jiang Chen closed his eyes and the sound of the monitor started to go flat as he blacked out. The next thing he knew he was in a foreign room with his body aching all over.
"Where in the world am I?"
Jiang Chen looked around the room and saw a room that only has a bed with a nightstand next to it. The entire hut looks like it hasn"t been used for a long time as a layer of dust was on the nightstand.
"Is this.....?"
A light started to flood the room by the openings in the roof as a female voice entered his ears...
"Did I really die inside of a hospital? What a cruel world! My heart hurts just from thinking the hospital bill that will tally up from my death."
Jiang Chen started to smack his head in frustration.

"Ouch, that f**king hurts," said Jiang Chen as pain enveloped his head.
[h.e.l.lo, This is the Origin System. Main mission: Help Host Take Over The World]
Jiang Chen started to get up from the bed and stretched his arms.
"Main mission? What other missions are there?"

"System, how do I cultivate when I have no knowledge of cultivating?"
Jiang Chen was extremely p.i.s.sed with the fact that the new system that he somehow acquired was a piece of garbage.
[The Origin System Will Give Host A Welcome Reward Bag. Open Y/N]
"Open."
[Obtained Book Of Cultivation (Unique), Eye Of G.o.d, And 50 System Credit]
Knowledge of cultivating streamed into Jiang Chen"s mind. It was as if he cultivated all his life and progressed through every stage of mankind.
"Even if I didn"t live the fullest in my past life, I will make it up with this life."
Jiang Chen slowly opens the door of the hut and the scene that appeared before he was a ma.s.sive rainforest. The trees made a perfect circle around the hut with no foliage blocking the sunlight.
"Um...I look pretty handsome if I say so myself."
Jiang Chen found a puddle nearby and examined his newly stolen body.
"I should probably locate the nearest town or city."
[Suggestion Map - 5 Credit]
"Are you trying to rob me just after you gave me the credit from your gift?" thought Jiang Chen as he frowned and shook his head.
Jiang Chen walked in a straight line when he walked out of the rainforest and onto a road. Over 50 meters away was a luxurious carriage pulled by animals which seemed to be horses that are blood-red.
"Get the f.u.c.k out of the way, peasant!" shouted the person that sat right in front of the carriage.
"What if I don"t want to?" sneered Jiang Chen seeing that the person was just a normal human being and not a cultivator.
"Do you know who you are trying to block, kid?"
"What is taking so long!?" An arrogant female voice came from inside the carriage.
"Miss, there is a lowly peasant blocking our path, but I"ll take care of it," answered the coachman, trying to curry favor with her.
"Never mind, I"ll do it," said the female as she slowly stepped down from the carriage.
Jiang Chen looks at the female and saw a beauty that can cause people"s heart to be s.n.a.t.c.hed that was around the age of 16. The most surprising thing was that the girl was at Body-Tempering Stage 9 and was about to break through into Qi Gathering.
"What are you looking for? If you want money, here is one silver coin to buy some clothes for yourself. We are in a hurry." said the girl as she flicked a small spirit stone at Jiang Chen.
"Do you take me as a beggar and looking for pity?" asked Jiang Chen who had taken a hit from that insult.
Even though his clothes are in rags due to walking in the rainforest for hours, Jiang Chen still had his handsome face.
"Get lost now!" said the girl as she entered the carriage and the red horses stormed past Jiang Chen.
"A royalty like that will never stay at a remote place and probably lives in a large city. I should follow their carriage trail to get to a city," thought Jiang Chen as he bent down to pick up the crystal.
"System, what is the value of a silver coin?"

Jiang Chen slowly followed the carriage imprints on the road. When the sun set beyond the horizon, he camped out on a cavern for shelter. Taking in Qi, Jiang Chen followed the procedure that the book gave him to temper the body. There are 10 stages to Body-Tempering with each of them making the body more durable for cultivation in the later stages. Morning rose with the sound of birds, Jiang Chen successfully reached Body-Tempering Stage 1 and was officially a cultivator.
"This is awesome! No wonder everyone on Earth always has dreams on becoming a cultivator!"

Due to the breakthrough, Jiang Chen"s speed was about 2x of an average adult male and can run 100 meters in under 10 seconds continuously. He quickly made it to Tang City. The walls of the city can be seen from miles away and gave off an intimidating aura. As Jiang Chen walked closer to the city, the shadow of the wall enveloped his body.
