This world was about power.
And where there was no power, there was no value for a person.
A poor village lay hidden among the mountains—adobe houses, broken doors, and people whose eyes were filled more with habit than hope. Here, even dreaming of becoming powerful was considered a crime.
"Li Jun"ived in this village.
Neither a member of a great family, nor bearing the name of a famous clan.
He belonged to a lowly family—one the villagers could hardly remember.
When children played with wooden swords, "Li Jun" would sit at a distance and watch.
When young men practiced their basic movements, controlling their breathing, "Li Jun"would quietly pick up fallen stones from the ground.
"He is weak…"
"He has no power in his body…"
"He can never become anything…""
Li Jun" had heard these words not once, but hundreds of times.
He would smile and lower his head—
But inside…
I wish I were stronger…
I wish I could feel strength as I breathe, like him…
I wish…
Every night on the bed , he looked at the sky, counted the stars, and silently buried his broken dreams.
In this world, cultivation was not a blessing—it was a right.
A right "Li Jun" had never possessed.
Today was no different like also other days.
A crowd of people collected in the center of the village.
An outsider martial artist "Zhao Longwie"had arrived.
His clothes were simple, but his presence—
It made the air heavy.
"Look," someone whispered.
"This… this is real power."
"Li Jun" stood at the back of the crowd, his feet sunk into the dirt, his heartpulse wildly.
Suddenly—
"Zhao Longwie" stepped forward.
The ground trembled.
The wind howled.
A bright energy rolled up around his hand—not fire, not light, but something the eyes could see but could not understand..
With a single strike—
The massive stone before him shattered.
Silence fell....
"Li Jun" forgot how to breathe.
His eyes spread, his heart will likely burst in his chest.
This…
This power…
For the first time in his life, Ali truly felt—
How cruel the world was,
And how small he was within it.
But along with that feeling…
Something else awakened.
A burning, dangerous, stubborn thought.
This power…
I have never seen anything like it…
If this power truly exists…
Then I will not live without obtaining it...
