The high-speed train to Hai City was moving fast on its way when suddenly it shook violently. Awaken by the shake, Jack opened his eyes slowly. Surprise and puzzlement filled his eyes. After observing around, he frowned immediately. “Isn’t it the train that I was on when I went to Hai City to fulfill the engagement to Sally, at the age of twenty-three?” A moment ago he was going through the last Thunder Punishment, but the next moment he was back to the human world! In his last lifetime, he had arrived in Hai City and got himself ready to be affianced to Sally; but to his disappointment, Sally, his beloved bride-to-be, being unable to resist the crazy romance of a second-generation rich guy, had betrayed him and eloped with that guy! It was hardly the worst. The worst thing was, in order to get Sally, that rich guy had continuously set traps for Jack to step in. He first lured Jack to get addicted to gambling and that’s how Jack lost it all; then the rich guy framed Jack, accusing him of cheating in the game, which contributed to Jack’s losing abilities in both of his hands. Even so, it seemed that the rich guy still couldn’t get enough of this, so he had Jack’s father’s little factory burnt and Jack’s father ended up committing suicide by hanging himself. Jack had lost everything; his family was totally shattered. In the end, Jack had nothing to lose any more; he had nothing but desperation. He jumped off the Yangze River Bridge. It’s just, he didn’t expect that he should have entered the Immortal World by chance, and had become the Xuanchen Lord! To become an Immortal, he had to survive the Heavenly Punishment; but while he was going though the Thunder Punishment, he was reborn and returned to the human world. Looking back on the sufferings in the last lifetime, Jack laughed coldly, “Sally, and those who have failed me and hurt me, for all that you have owed me, now it’s time to pay the price!” A light of coldness flashed through Jack’s eyes, which seemed to be full of the stars of the whole universe. He closed his eyes and started to introspect himself, but then he pursed his lips slightly. The fairy spirit which used to be full almost ran out at the moment. Jack took back his consciousness and thought to himself, “It seems that I have to spend another life in this human world. But it’s not that bad, because I’m going to be free and unfettered totally, without having any sorrows!” Suddenly, a girl sitting by the window said in a low voice, “Grandpa, why are we here instead of going to the business class? It’s too crowed and messy here!” Beside Jack, there sat an old gentleman who seemed calm and a cute girl in her twenties. Simply as they were both dressed, they failed to hide the unique confidence and nobleness in them. They seemed quite outstanding in the second class cabin. Jack was sitting by the isle, the old gentleman in the middle and the girl by the window. The old gentleman smiled lightly and said, “Sara, how many times have I told you, that if you want to seek a better fate and reach a better state, you’ll have to put yourself among the common people? If you always cage yourself up high in the castle, when will you have a real breakthrough?” On hearing this, the girl stuck out her tongue and said in a low voice, “It’s only been ten years since I started practicing martial arts; I have already grasped the Outer Strength and everyone calls me a genius...” The old gentleman said seriously, “There’s Inner Strength following Outer Strength. And after this, you’ll have to learn to release the Inner Strength and use it as Outer Strength, only till then will you be a Master of Martial Arts. Now do you think, with your speed right now, that you can be a Master when you reach my age?” As Jack was repairing his fairy spirit to recover himself, he heard this conversation. He felt surprised that the old gentleman and the cute girl should be Martial Practisers! In the eyes of the Immortal Practicers, Martial Practisers are as worthless as ants. In the Immortal World, Martial Practisers are the servants of the Immortal Practicers. Things often happened like a whole sect of Martial Practisers volunteered to serve one Immortal Practicer heart and soul, hoping that when the Immortal Practicer was pleased, they could be lucky enough to be granted a low-class pill or a low-class martial skill as a reward. It is extremely difficult for a Martial Practiser to become a Immortal Practicer; or to put it in a rough way, it’s the same thing that a monkey is trying to become a human. But among those Martial Practicers, one out of a hundred thousand could become a Master of Martial Arts. Again, however, even a Master of Martial Arts couldn’t match the strength of a finger of an Immortal Practicer who’s in his Foundation-Building Period. When Jack started his own sect in the Immortal World, he had eighty-one disciples, one thousand and eight hundred disciples’ disciples whose disciples even reached twenty thousand! Not to mention the millions of Martial Practicers belonging to his sect who regarded him as a god! So Jack didn’t care much about the old gentleman and his granddaughter. He could judge from their temperaments and knew that the girl had just acquired the Outer Strength whereas the old gentle man had reached the Inner Strength stage. In the Immortal World, such person was unqualified even to sweep the floor for Jack! Then the old gentleman lowered his voice deliberately and said to the girl with inner energy, “Sara, the road to the Master of Martial Arts is no different from flying to heaven without wings; you have to be a Master in your lifetime; only if you become one, you will have a chance to reach a higher stage. It’s been decades since our family last had a Master, and you are the most promising one.” Mixing his inner energy with his voice, the old gentleman made sure that his voice could be hidden deep in his inner energy so that his words could pass precisely to the girl. Theoretically, only the girl could hear him. However, he had no idea Jack was a reborn Immortal Practicer whose fairy spirit was so weak, but he could easily see through the little tricks of the Martial Practicers. The girl replied confidently, with a voice mixed with her inner energy, “Don’t worry grandpa, I shall do my best! I shall learn to release the Inner Strength and use it as Outer Strength; I shall be a Master of Martial Arts!” On hearing this, Jack burst into laughter. What a little ant! She’s only twenty who’s only acquired Outer Strength, and was dreaming to be a Master? What a joke! Even if she became a Master one day, she was no match to the little finger of an Immortal Practicer. His laughter was heard by the girl clearly, who had just made great vows. The girl felt so embarrassed and shouted angrily at Jack, “Hey, You! What’s so funny?” The old gentleman scolded the girl immediately, of course, with his mixed voice,”Sara, don’t be rude! He’s a common human; he couldn’t hear us at all!” The girl then understood suddenly. But she still rolled her eyes at Jack angrily, “Do not laugh suddenly for no reasons; you might get your ass kicked!” Jack opened his eyes slowly, looked at the girl and asked her scornfully, “What! I’ll laugh as I please; who are you to interfere with my business?” The girl said angrily, “Mind your words, you arrogant man!” Jack laughed coldly, “You are like a frog sitting in a well and looking at the heaven; you accuse me of being arrogant? Funny!” “You...” the girl was so angry that even the sound of her rubbing her fists could be heard; “Let me teach you a lesson!” Jack smiled scornfully and said proudly, “Little girl, I am in a good mood today. I shall give you a few words to live by; listen carefully.” Jack waited for a moment then said, “Twenty-five is a deadline, or the whole life is hopeless.” The girl didn’t understand the words at all, but the old gentleman who seemed calm suddenly got alerted and his expression became full of frights! He looked at Jack in astonishment and asked carefully, “Young brother, may I have your name? What Family are you from?” Jack answered calmly, “You don’t deserve to know my name.”
