The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 2 - 1: Ferocious Older Sister_2
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
"Yang Chen, are you alright? Please, don't scare your sister like this." Tears of deep concern welled up in Yang Caidie's eyes.
Observing the frantic expression on Yang Caidie’s face and reflecting on the circumstances of his own demise, Yang Chen let out a silent sigh. He opened his eyes and spoke softly, "Older Sister, I'm fine."
"Young Master, are you... are you really okay?" The lovely maid jumped up, her voice trembling with excitement.
Grabbing Yang Chen’s hand with a firm grip, Yang Caidie scolded him, "Yang Chen, don't ever think of giving up again. If you can't find a way to vent your rage, your sister will go and fight the Wang Family right this instant."
"No, Sister, don't do that!" Yang Chen was truly alarmed.
He gazed intently at Yang Caidie as the memories his predecessor held of her flooded his mind.
This young woman before him was Yang Caidie.
At eighteen years old, she was five years older than her brother, Yang Chen. She was a renowned figure within the Great Wild Hundred Clans, celebrated as one of the 'Three Great Golden Hairpins' due to her exceptional beauty. However, her fame stemmed less from her looks and more from her notorious temperament.
Indeed, Yang Caidie was famous for being fierce and aggressive. She possessed a stubborn streak so intense that once her mind was set, not even nine oxen could pull her back. While some might mistake her for being simple-minded, she was actually quite intelligent, possessing high aptitude and immense potential as the number one female genius of the Yang family.
Nevertheless, her sharp wit did not prevent her from being aggressively unrefined or from speaking her mind regardless of the fallout.
Because of this, no one dared to provoke Yang Caidie.
Most importantly, Yang Caidie was fiercely protective of her younger brother, Yang Chen.
Legend had it that when Yang Chen was only three, he was bitten by a Black-haired Wolf kept by the Sun family. In response, the eight-year-old Yang Caidie stormed the Sun family’s estate wielding a knife, hell-bent on slaughtering the beast. She was only stopped and brought home after the Yang family Elders intervened.
Yet, Yang Caidie was not one to let go of a grudge. Years later, during her teens, she seized a moment when the Black-haired Wolf was left unguarded and killed it with a series of swift strikes. She even left a note upon the wolf's carcass: "Those who bully my brother will die – Culprit Yang Caidie."
At the time, her literacy was lacking; unable to recall the character for "beast," she had written "man" instead.
Furthermore, by signing herself as the "culprit," she had utterly infuriated the Sun family, leading to endless friction between the two clans.
Recalling these events, Yang Chen realized that his sister was truly the type to go to any extreme for him, even if it meant clashing with the formidable Wang family. The Wangs were a top-tier power among the Hundred Clans that few dared to cross, but Yang Caidie’s stubbornness was limitless; she wouldn't blink at the prospect of challenging them.
With these thoughts swirling, Yang Chen rubbed his temples and sighed, "Sister, both of you should head out for now. I need some time alone."
"Darling, you must never think of ending it all again. If you did, how could your sister and I possibly continue on?" Yang Caidie said, her heart clearly breaking.
Yang Chen gave a soft chuckle, "Sister, don't worry. I won't try to take my life again. I've come to terms with everything. At the very least, I can't stand to see you so devastated."
Seeing that the shadow of suicide had vanished from Yang Chen’s eyes, Yang Caidie finally bit her lip and relented. "Fine, sister will leave first. I'll have Ming Yue wait outside. If you need anything at all, just call for her."
Gu Mingyue, also known as Xiao Yue, was Yang Caidie’s maid and was intended to become Yang Chen’s concubine in the future. She was deeply obedient to both siblings. It was clear that Yang Caidie had chosen an excellent candidate for her brother; even at fifteen, the girl already showed signs of becoming a great beauty.
Despite being pursued by many within the Yang family, Gu Mingyue remained fiercely loyal, fully prepared to fulfill her role as Yang Chen’s concubine.
Upon hearing Yang Caidie’s instructions, Gu Mingyue bowed and said, "Young Master, if you have need of Ming Yue, she will be waiting right outside."
"Very well." Yang Chen nodded in acknowledgment.
Shortly after, Yang Caidie and Gu Mingyue departed.
Finally alone, Yang Chen took a deep breath, sorting through his memories while inspecting his new physical form.
"I never imagined that I, Yang Chen, despite my mastery of the Dao of Alchemy and the reverence I commanded in my past life, would end up as a helpless victim. It all came down to my lack of martial arts talent back then. Even as a grand genius of pills, I was powerless to resist when Hua Wanru wanted me dead."
At this thought, a faint smile played on his lips. "But it seems the heavens have not abandoned me. This Yang Chen possessed excellent talent for Cultivation but squandered it by not following the path. What a waste. In my dreams, I longed to practice martial arts, to reach the peak of the world and look down upon all creation! In this universe, only martial arts remain eternal."
"While this body's talent for Cultivation might not be the absolute best, it is certainly not poor. Although I couldn't enter the martial realm in my previous life, I excelled at nurturing and guiding geniuses. With this body and my past knowledge, even mediocre talent will suffice. It is a pity the previous Yang Chen was so incompetent—a total laughingstock within the Yang family."
The original owner of this body was a young noble of the Yang clan, yet he was a failure regarding his Meridians and Dantian. In truth, he had great potential but simply lacked the will to cultivate.
He had always yearned for power, and it was a tragedy that he had let his potential rot, settling for the life of a useless Young Master.
Hua Wanru!
His thoughts inevitably shifted to the woman who had betrayed and plotted against him.
Yang Chen closed his eyes tightly. "Hua Wanru, I raised you to become a powerhouse of your generation, but you should know that your success was crafted by my hands. Since I could nurture you, I can certainly nurture myself!"
He had indeed devoted himself to her growth in his past life, yet he had been wise enough to leave certain things behind.
That small bit of foresight had now become his lifeline.
Now, Yang Chen’s heart burned with renewed passion as he whispered, "I was an unrivaled genius in alchemy, creating pill formulas that shook the earth, yet I always had a fatal flaw. That flaw was my martial arts. No matter how great an alchemist I was, I remained an ordinary man, easily slaughtered."
"But everything has changed. Since I, Yang Chen, have been reborn into a body capable of Cultivation, I will not only be a peerless master of alchemy but also climb to the very pinnacle of the martial world!"
