Chen Tian woke up slowly in his home, his head feeling groggy. He looked around at the familiar surroundings. This was his home. What was going on? Wasn't he just in the game?
He remembered he was still fighting Xie Qing. How had he suddenly returned to the real world?
Qing Ling also came running over and said, "Brother, are you okay? The game is temporarily under maintenance, so you can't get in. It's almost time for school too, so stop playing."
Chen Tian snapped back to reality. That's right, the weekend was over, and it was time for school. He glanced at the clock. Less than half an hour remained until the morning self-study session. He then got up, and with a loud rumbling sound, the entire house collapsed. Qing Ling's hands glowed with a magic circle, and a protective dome enveloped the two of them.
Chen Tian looked at his body, wondering what was happening. Why did he feel so much stronger than before?
Qing Ling also spoke, "Brother, adjust your breathing. You've awakened fifty percent of your power. It's not easy to control right now, so try to touch things as little as possible."
Then, Qing Ling conjured a magic circle, and the house was instantly restored.
Chen Tian was stunned by Qing Ling's abilities. The magic circles from the game could appear in reality? This was interesting!
Following his sister's advice, Chen Tian adjusted his breathing frequency, and immediately felt a lot lighter all over.
Then, Qing Ling conjured a magic circle in her hand and inscribed a magical seal onto the house. Qing Ling said, "Brother, this room has been reinforced with a magic circle, so your power won't cause any destruction. But remember, when you go out and haven't mastered your power yet, don't touch anything."
"Got it!"
Chen Tian said with a serious expression. Honestly, his strength was truly terrifying. He couldn't imagine what would happen if he touched anything else, but he had to listen to his sister's advice.
Then, Chen Tian went to his closet, found his school uniform, and put it on. There was only half an hour left before class, so he needed to hurry.
After putting on his school uniform, Chen Tian, dressed in a blue t-shirt, with a high forehead and neatly pressed trousers, looked as if he were wearing a suit. Combined with Chen Tian's handsome features, Qing Ling was captivated. She had never realized her brother looked so handsome in his school uniform.
Chen Tian looked at his sister and gently patted her head, then said, "Be good. There's food in the refrigerator. I'll make you something to eat when I get back."
"Mm!"
Qing Ling nodded obediently. Then, Chen Tian took a step forward, and his figure instantly turned into a gust of wind. Before Chen Tian could even react, he was already on the main road.
"What the hell, is my speed this monstrous too?"
Chen Tian looked at the surrounding garden. He had only taken one step and had already reached the garden hundreds of meters away. Such terrifying speed.
After taking a deep breath, he stepped out again. This time, his speed was normal. Walking through the garden, Chen Tian strolled along at a leisurely pace, as school was just beyond the garden.
The school Chen Tian attended was called Mingcheng Middle School, one of the top three schools in the city. The school's style and rules were very strict, making it very suitable for students' academic life.
Chen Tian was only 18 years old, the age for attending school. If it hadn't been for his competitive career four years ago, he would have already been in high school.
As Chen Tian walked through the park, he saw people of all sorts – elderly people, teenagers, and girls playing happily. Chen Tian felt his mood lift.
Suddenly, a voice reached Chen Tian's ears. It was a girl, standing gracefully, with fair skin, slender legs, and arms as clear as crystal.
The girl's sweet voice rang out, "Grandpa, how is my boxing? Have I already grasped the basics?"
The elder next to her stroked his beard and smiled without speaking. Chen Tian, watching the girl practice her punches from the side, suddenly said, "Your weaknesses are too obvious, and there are too many flaws. This boxing technique is incomplete!"
This one sentence instantly caught the attention of the girl and the elder. The elder's expression turned to shock, and he didn't know what to say to the young man in front of him.
But the girl, full of anger, rushed up to Chen Tian and said, "Boy, what did you just say? An incomplete boxing technique? Hmph, do you know that my Lin family became dominant in Linjiang with this very boxing technique?"
The girl was clearly agitated, and the elder made no move to stop her. Chen Tian came back to his senses and then said, "I'm sorry, I was watching too intently just now. But your boxing technique is indeed incomplete. I wouldn't be wrong."
Chen Tian believed the information given by the Divine Eye. If the boxing technique's information showed it was incomplete, then it was incomplete. As for why the Divine Eye suddenly activated, Chen Tian had no idea!
"Brother, the Divine Eye's ability depends on your intention."
Qing Ling's voice echoed in Chen Tian's mind. Chen Tian was stunned and looked around. Qing Ling's voice echoed in his mind again, "Brother, don't look. Qing Ling is using long-distance transmission from home. Qing Ling saw everything that just happened."
Chen Tian was speechless. So, Qing Ling didn't trust him enough to use a wizard's surveillance magic to watch him.
"Brother, if you can, try to spar with that old man. Use only one percent of your strength. Fighting will help you master your power faster. In my sister's perception, the grandfather and granddaughter in front of you are not ordinary people. Moreover, the old man has injuries, but Qing Ling can't discern the nature of the injuries in this world. It's up to you, brother."
Then, Qing Ling's voice disappeared. At the same time, Lin Xue, seeing Chen Tian's dismissive attitude, became furious. As the eldest daughter of the Lin family in Linjiang, she was being ignored. He didn't even dare to look at her.
She immediately attacked in a rage, her fist swinging out with a terrible gust of wind, heading straight for Chen Tian's cheek.
She wanted to teach him a lesson for insulting her family's boxing technique and for ignoring her.
Chen Tian's eyes snapped open, and with a loud boom, "Ah!" a figure was sent flying backward.
The elder was stunned at the sight. Then, his figure instantly disappeared from its spot, and he reappeared holding his granddaughter.
At the same time, the elder's face was stern as he said, "Sir, as a peak Grandmaster martial artist, you don't need to be so ruthless!"
At the same time, Lin Moran was shocked beyond measure. The young man in front of him looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, yet he was already at the peak Grandmaster realm. What martial arts family did he belong to?
Chen Tian rubbed his head and then said with a look of confusion, "What is peak Grandmaster?"
Chen Tian had only released his aura at one percent of his strength as Qing Ling had told him to. Who knew this woman was so weak that she couldn't even withstand one percent of his strength? She was too weak!
No wonder her boxing had so many flaws earlier. Thinking of this, Chen Tian understood.
Lin Moran gently set Lin Xue down, and Lin Xue exclaimed in shock, "Grandpa, you said he's a peak Grandmaster? How is that possible?"
"I know you don't believe me, but the condensation of internal energy into form is the mark of a Grandmaster. He easily sent you flying just now with a mere surge of internal energy."
"Alright, old man, I'm not interested in what you have to say. I want to spar with you. Regardless of the outcome, I'll help you recover from your injuries, how about that?"
Chen Tian said arrogantly. Since his sister had asked him to do it, he would. Besides, he really needed to master his power.
Lin Moran stared at Chen Tian in shock. His injuries had been seen through. Who was this young man?
Then, the elder pondered for a moment and said, "Alright. We are both peak Grandmaster martial artists, so why should I fear you? Granddaughter, clear the area!"
Lin Xue nodded, then revealed her identity, and the entire park was sealed off.
The original crowd left. They didn't know why it was sealed off, but since it was the decision of a prominent family, it was not something they, commoners, could interfere with. If they didn't leave, they might die.
The Lin family of Linjiang was the overlord of Linjiang!
Chen Tian looked at the elder in front of him. The elder's aura erupted, but it was slightly weaker than Chen Tian's one percent aura.
Then, the elder said, "I'll let you make the first move, or else people will say I bullied you!"
Martial artists valued their pride. Lin Moran definitely couldn't make the first move. The other party was just an eighteen-year-old young man. If he made the first move, wouldn't he be bullying him? How long had he been practicing martial arts? At most a few years, while he himself had been practicing for over a decade! It would be too embarrassing.
It was like an old player bullying a new player; if word got out, he would be laughed at.
Chen Tian didn't pay attention. He stepped forward, and his figure instantly turned into a gust of wind, appearing before Lin Moran. Lin Moran was stunned. Such speed!
Then, he threw out his left fist, directly towards Chen Tian. Chen Tian also swung out his left arm. The two fists collided, and waves of energy spread out, causing leaves to flutter from the surrounding trees.
Although Lin Moran retreated a full three steps.
Lin Xue watched the scene in disbelief. Her grandfather had lost in the first collision. How was this possible? There weren't many people in Linjiang City who could contend with her grandfather!
And now, he was at a disadvantage from the very beginning. Chen Tian looked at his fist. Damn, what had his body turned into? Even one percent of his strength felt like this.
He felt like his body had changed so much. What was the reason for this? Was it because of the game "Shi Kong Ji Yuan"?
And what did his sister mean by "awakening"? There were many things he didn't understand yet. But Chen Tian knew that he would eventually find out.
It was just that the time was not yet right.
Lin Moran looked at Chen Tian with shock. His punch just now had at least thirty percent of his strength. He had lost in a direct confrontation to a young man. What was this young man's background?
This made Lin Moran's mind race with questions. What was the other party's purpose for being here? Why did he know his family's boxing technique was incomplete? Why could he see his injuries? What was the other party plotting?
