Chapter 1

True Wu Continent, Ziyang Academy.

This academy is one of the four major academies in the Canglan Kingdom's Liuyun Territory, holding a supreme status. The students here are either wealthy or noble.

It is now midsummer, with the sun shining brightly. At the entrance of the academy, two young figures stand facing each other.

"Lu Feng, it's impossible between us! Stop deluding yourself!"

The girl holds a sandalwood brocade box, looking at the young man in front of her with disdain. The air is stifling, but her voice is icy, sending a chill down one's spine.

The young man has a delicate face, his eyes tightly closed, his complexion pale, almost lifeless.

Hearing her voice, Lu Feng's eyelids twitched, and he opened his eyes. His pale face gradually regained some color.

Looking around, his gaze finally settled on the girl in front of him, his eyes filled with complexity.

"I didn't expect that the owner of this body is also named Lu Feng, and I've actually traveled through time..."

Lu Feng was lost in thought for a moment.

He remembered that he was in a car accident on his way to school. When he woke up again, he found himself standing here, with some unfamiliar memories in his mind.

Lu Feng had already integrated all the memories of the previous owner and recalled them in detail.

In the memories, he was the young master of a powerful family in Liuyun Territory. Three years ago, he entered Ziyang Academy and met Lin Xiaoxiao, who was in the same class. He was stunned by her beauty and began to pursue her fervently.

Learning that Lin Xiaoxiao's wish was to enter a martial arts sanctuary, the previous owner even gave all his cultivation resources to her.

This time, the previous owner used three months' savings to buy a first-grade spirit pill, the Nengyuan Pill, intending to give it to her. However, he received a heartless breakup from Lin Xiaoxiao, who said they should part ways forever!

The previous owner, overwhelmed with anger, passed away in a fit of rage.

Understanding the situation, Lu Feng couldn't help but glance at Lin Xiaoxiao.

Her classical crimson long dress accentuated her slender figure, and her jet-black hair flowed like a waterfall behind her. Her delicate features, under the sunlight, made her look like a blooming peony, a rare beauty. However, the arrogance in her eyes slightly diminished her charm.

"Why?" Lu Feng gazed at Lin Xiaoxiao, speaking slowly.

In the memories, Lin Xiaoxiao had always been quite intimate with him, and Lu Feng couldn't understand why she suddenly changed her attitude.

"I..." Lin Xiaoxiao felt a chill run down her spine under Lu Feng's intense gaze. She had never seen such a look in his eyes before. She opened her mouth but couldn't find the words to answer.

"Hmph! I'll tell you why!"

A cold voice suddenly came from the side, and a young man with a square face and broad ears walked up to Lin Xiaoxiao with a tiger-like stride.

Lu Feng narrowed his eyes, recognizing him. This was Lin Xiaoxiao's cousin, Lin Hui, who was also in the same class, the Silver Moon Class.

Lin Hui, standing nine feet tall, was a towering figure. His eyes, filled with ridicule, looked at Lu Feng.

"Xiaoxiao is the daughter of the City Lord of Tian Shuang City. How could she ever look at you, a waste from a remote small town! She was just using you to break through her cultivation realm! You, a toad, dreaming of eating swan meat!"

Lu Feng's eyebrows twitched, and his face showed anger.

Looking at Lu Feng, Lin Hui sneered, folding his arms and laughing.

"Lu Feng, I'll tell you, Xiaoxiao's heart belongs to Duanmu from the Inner Academy! Now that she has opened her fourth pulse wheel, she will enter the Golden Sun Class in a few days and soar to new heights! You, a second-level pulse wheel waste, are not even as good as an ant compared to her!"

Duanmu... Duanmu Yu!

The name brought back memories in Lu Feng's mind, and he suddenly understood. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes burning with anger.

Duanmu Yu was a famous genius in the academy, reaching the fourth level of the pulse wheel realm at fourteen and the fifth level at fifteen. He was a talented student in the Inner Academy's Wing Tiger Class.

Moreover, Duanmu Yu's family was not simple!

His uncle was an elder of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, one of the twelve golden halls in the Canglan Kingdom. His older brother was also a renowned expert in the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, rumored to have a chance to enter one of the nine great martial arts sanctuaries in the Canglan Kingdom. Therefore, Duanmu Yu was very famous in Ziyang Academy.

Lu Feng's current rage was not without reason.

The outer academy of Ziyang Academy is divided into the Golden Sun Class and the Silver Moon Class.

The Golden Sun Class consists of highly talented students, while the Silver Moon Class has students with average talent.

It was impossible for a student to move from the Silver Moon Class to the Golden Sun Class.

Lin Xiaoxiao's entry into the Golden Sun Class must be due to Duanmu Yu!

"No wonder you suddenly turned on me, you must have hooked up with Duanmu Yu! Bitch!" Understanding the situation, Lu Feng looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with anger.

Now that he had integrated the memories of the previous owner, he felt the same rage. Any insult to either Lu Feng would make him furious.

He had been infatuated for three years, only to be used as a fool. Now that she had found a better prospect, she turned her back on him. Lu Feng felt a surge of heat in his head, wishing he could slap Lin Xiaoxiao right there!

"You're asking for death!"

Seeing Lu Feng insult Lin Xiaoxiao, Lin Hui was enraged. His third-level pulse wheel aura burst out, ready to teach Lu Feng a lesson. Suddenly, three melodious bell sounds rang from the academy.

Dong, dong, dong...

This was the bell signaling the start of class. As the bell rang, students began to gather towards the academy, and many noticed Lu Feng and the others, looking puzzled.

"Let it go, cousin, it's time for class. Let's go in."

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want to make a scene. Seeing people approaching, she stopped Lin Hui, turned to Lu Feng, and said coldly and disdainfully:

"Lu Feng, you're already fifteen years old, and you're still at the late second-level pulse wheel. You're a waste! I'm entering the Golden Sun Class now, and I will surely enter the Inner Academy and then the twelve golden halls! We are from different worlds now. Don't come and bother me again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unfriendly!"

With that, Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Hui walked into the academy. After a few steps, Lin Xiaoxiao turned and threw the brocade box at Lu Feng's feet.

"This is your Nengyuan Pill. I don't need such a low-grade pill anymore. You can keep it for yourself!" She left coldly and walked away.

The surrounding students watched this scene with sympathy, whispering among themselves.

"Probably another overconfident kid being rejected."

"I recognize that female student. She's Lin Xiaoxiao from the Silver Moon Class. She's been close to Duanmu from the Inner Academy recently."

"Duanmu! Tsk, tsk, no wonder. This poor guy is just a student in the outer academy's Silver Moon Class, with only a second-level pulse wheel. Compared to Duanmu, he's like a worm. No wonder he got dumped. So pitiful..."

...

This wasn't the first time such a scene had occurred. With class about to start, the students dispersed after a few words.

Lu Feng ignored the gazes around him and picked up the brocade box from the ground.

Looking at the box in his hand, his eyes revealed a cold glint.

"If it weren't for the cultivation resources I gave you over the past three years, I wouldn't still be at the second-level pulse wheel!"

Lu Feng's talent wasn't outstanding, but it wasn't bad either. At fifteen, he should have already reached the third-level pulse wheel.

However, over the past three years, he had given all his cultivation resources to Lin Xiaoxiao, causing his cultivation to stagnate.

"Damn! Bitch, I, Lu Feng, will remember this grudge!"

Thinking of Lin Xiaoxiao, Lu Feng's eyes turned fierce, and he secretly vowed to achieve greatness and return the humiliation he suffered today a hundredfold!

Taking a deep breath, Lu Feng's gaze fell on the sandalwood brocade box in his hand, and his eyes gradually calmed down.

"Nengyuan Pill, a first-grade spirit pill, containing a large amount of primordial energy! I've been at the second-level pulse wheel for a long time. This Nengyuan Pill will help me break through to the next level!"

Lu Feng put away the Nengyuan Pill, straightened his clothes, and walked into the academy.

In his previous life, he was a top student, standing out among millions. This confidence had not faded with his changed circumstances. He was certain he could once again reach the pinnacle in this world where the strong ruled!

...

On the training ground inside the academy, under the scorching sun, stood several hundred boys and girls around fourteen or fifteen years old.

They wore white robes with a blazing sun embroidered on the back, the edges in a fiery gold color, the uniform of the outer academy students of Ziyang Academy. On their chests was a silver crescent moon, indicating they were students of the Silver Moon Class.

Several hundred Silver Moon Class students stood like poles on the training ground, their backs straight, like spears or swords.

Lu Feng stood at the back of the class, looking at the young girl in front of the formation.

The girl, around seventeen or eighteen, had a face that combined bravery and wildness, very beautiful. She wore a red beast-skin outfit, with a fiery figure, her black hair tied up behind her, looking spirited and efficient. This was Ji Wuyue, the martial arts teacher of the Silver Moon Class.

Ji Wuyue stood with her arms crossed, completely ignoring the burning gazes of the male students. Her authoritative voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"Human beings have three souls and seven spirits. Apart from the human soul, the other two souls and seven spirits form nine pulse wheels within our bodies. The pulse wheels contain infinite mysteries! Martial artists cultivate by refining these pulse wheels!"

"The nine pulse wheels are located at the Yuan Pass, the Spirit Gate, the five organs, the Earth Mansion, and the Heavenly Court. The nine pulse wheels correspond to the nine levels of the pulse wheel realm!"

"Level one nourishes life, level two strengthens the body, level three trains strength, level four balances hardness and softness, level five forges iron bones, level six brings divine courage, level seven stores essence, level eight reaches the Earth Mansion, and level nine ascends to the Heavenly Court! Each time a pulse wheel is opened, the body undergoes a significant transformation, gaining incredible abilities. Strength of a thousand catties, skin as hard as copper and bones as strong as iron, divine senses reaching a hundred miles..."

These were the basics of the pulse wheel realm, and many students listened half-heartedly. Only Lu Feng paid close attention to every word Ji Wuyue said.

He knew that these fundamentals were the foundation of everything and could not be overlooked.

"Now, start your cultivation!"

After explaining, Ji Wuyue scanned the crowd and ordered, "Close your eyes, clear your mind of all distractions, and try to nourish your pulse wheels with your primordial energy."

This was a daily practice, and upon hearing her words, everyone closed their eyes, and the surroundings became silent.

Lu Feng quickly entered a state of cultivation.

His consciousness sank into his body, and he was about to follow Ji Wuyue's instructions to nourish his pulse wheels with primordial energy. But as soon as he closed his eyes, he let out a gasp of surprise.

"What's going on!"

Lu Feng opened his eyes, his gaze full of confusion.

He was currently at the second-level pulse wheel, which should mean only the Yuan Pass and the Spirit Gate were open.

However, Lu Feng just felt that he had four open pulse wheels in his body!

"Lu Feng!" Just as Lu Feng was puzzled by the changes in his body, a voice full of anger suddenly rang out in front of him, like a thunderclap.

Ji Wuyue stood at the front of the crowd, her hair flying, her sharp gaze fixed on Lu Feng, her face filled with anger!
