Ch 01. Weng Lou

Morning. As the sky began to look bright but half of the White Star City was still in their sweet dreams, waiting for the dawn to wake them up.

The Weng Family Clan Residence.

A young man who was sleeping soundly reacted to the sunlight coming in through the windows. He threw down his comfortable blanket, jumped out of bed and put on his shirt. At times like this, the Weng family's people and even some of the servants were still asleep.

This young man looks around 13-14 years old, with a thin but muscular body and an innocent and naive face. His face couldn't be called handsome, but it couldn't be called ugly either, roughly the standard. But the one thing that makes him look attractive are his eyes. Her eyes were bright and filled with fighting spirit.

"Hahaha! In a little more I will make it into Foundation Foundation level 3! That way I will become a student in the main family of Weng, I want to see how they bully me!"

The young man was named Weng Lou, a few months ago he came from a village called Sungai Biru Village, a member of the Weng Family branch and made it into the main family of the Weng Family with his talents and looks.

In Blue River Village, he was an incomparable genius. He made it to foundation level 2 earlier than other teenagers. Everyone in the village said he was a once-in-a-100 year genius, and they put the hopes and future of Blue River Village into him.

Even though he was called a genius, but he could not be puffed up because he knew best how hard he was trying to achieve what they call a 100 year genius.

Every 4 years the Weng Main Family will take 3 students from each Branch Family, to be nurtured and given resources for their martial arts practice. Each of the children who came from Sungai Biru village included Weng Lou, Weng Wan, and Weng Hua.

Weng Wan is the second young genius in Blue River Village, it can be said that his talent is actually equal to Weng Lou's, but their efforts are on a different level. He had successfully entered Podasi Foundation level 2 exactly one month after Weng Lou.

Next is Weng Hua. She is the number one genius girl in the village. Very few girls want to practice the martial arts because thinking is a waste of time. They assume that they will end up running the household in the end.

Weng Hua dreamed of seeing the wide outside world, so he practiced the martial arts diligently. When compared to Weng Wan, Weng Hua was more talented. He had successfully entered the foundation of the foundation level 2, half a month after Weng Lou.

After the three of them left River Blue Village for the Weng Main Family, they were full of enthusiasm. Especially Weng Lou, he was full of fighting spirit. He wanted to show his abilities in the Main Family and show it off.

But sometimes the sky can be so unfair. When they arrived at the Weng Main Family, they had to swallow their heads to see the many geniuses who had talents beyond them. That's when he realized that he had been a frog at the bottom of a well. Only knowing that the sky is only as big as the mouth of a well.

If in a village, there are only more than 100 inhabitants with 9 or 10 of the same age. Whereas in the Main Family, there were over 10,000 family members with over 1,000 children of the same age, and they were all geniuses.

Only from the number of people who live in it, we can imagine how big the Weng Main Family Residence is, roughly the ratio is 1: 100 with the size of the Weng Family branch clan in Sungai Biru Village.

If in the village he is considered the best genius, then here he is at the lowest level. He would only receive coaching as a lowly outer disciple.

In this main Clan there were countless kids his age who were already at the 3rd level of Foundation Foundation, there were even absolute geniuses who had managed to reach the 4th level of Foundations. 5.

Seeing this fact, Weng Lou began to realize how stupid and naive he was. He had always thought he was the greatest genius, but after he came here he was nothing with real geniuses.

Even Weng Wan, who previously seemed very excited and said he would try to beat up the geniuses of the other branch families, now felt down because every day he was used as a training bag by other geniuses. Yes, unfortunate. Indeed, evil intentions will never work out well.

It's different from Weng Hua. After he came to the main family, his eyes always gave off flames of burning passion. Looks like he won't just throw away his ideals. Just like Weng Lou, he went to train hard every morning. Even yesterday he managed to reach the 3rd level of the Foundation, which succeeded in making himself an inner disciple.

Now, Weng Lou got even more desperate and made him try even harder during his coaching years.

He has already made up his mind! Become the strongest in all of White Star City, and explore the outside world!

***

After tidying up, Weng Lou went to clean himself. He took a deep breath, and dashed furiously towards the Weng Main Family's martial arts training ground.

Hah! Hep! Hyaah!

Weng Lou performed the basic Iron Tiger Punch which was a very common basic technique in the Weng Main Family. Even though it's just a basic technique, thanks to his effort and hard work, he's now entered into a master's understanding of this technique.

In the world of martial arts, there are 6 levels in martial arts techniques, namely basic, low, middle, high, peak, and absolute. Usually, the higher the level in martial arts techniques, the higher the strength produced and the better the understanding in self-defense techniques.

Basic martial arts techniques, are useful for strengthening one's body and blood flow, but the power produced is so little that it is considered useless if someone already has a higher martial technique. But with the identity of Weng Lou who came from the village, he didn't actually have any special abilities, making it very difficult for him to practice martial arts of a higher level.

"Huh ... I've been trapped in Foundation Foundation level 2 for 3 months and I can't even break through. Though it just takes a little more push ..."

After feeling enough practice, Weng Lou stopped his practice and chose to rest. His face was full of sweat and his breathing was also irregular.

Actually his skills weren't bad. It's just that he can't catch up with the others because he doesn't have a higher martial technique. Nor was he wealthy, unlike the children from the main family who could afford to buy drugs that could rapidly improve his martial arts practice.

He often heard that people from the main family from birth were given this kind of medicine so that before they were 10 years old they had managed to enter the foundation level 1. This was a special advantage of a person from the main family.

At this moment, Weng Lou felt that he was far behind the others.

He spent half an hour resting looking at the increasingly crowded martial arts field. Many people had come at this time, but when they saw Weng Lou, there was only contempt in their eyes. It was as if they were superior beings, but that was the truth.

In truth, that gaze wasn't just for him, but for everyone who came from the branch family. In the presence of those who were not of direct descent, they felt even more special and honorable.

"Huu ... it's time to come back." Weng Lou took out his clothes which were already wet with sweat.

Just as he was about to walk away, a familiar voice rang out.

"Hey floor! Stop!"

Bakh!

A hand pulled him back, nearly knocking him to the ground.

"As I thought, it's impossible to be that peaceful my times ..." Weng Lou saw the culprit who had pulled him back.

A young man in all green clothes. His fairly large body with muscular muscles made him look like a giant tree that could not be knocked down. His eyes shone with pride.

"Weng Ah, what is this?" Weng Lou asked in an unhappy tone.

When Weng Lou and the others came to the Weng main family, they both had a little problem. At that time, Weng Ah insulted someone who was not from the main Weng family and it was clear that Weng Lou didn't like that.

Weng Ah always bothered Weng Lou at every opportunity, as if the world would end if he didn't bother Weng Lou.

"Hey, look. They're both starting again. Who do you think will win?"

"What do you mean? It's clear Weng Ah will win, with ten moves is enough power to overthrow Weng Lou!"

"No. I bet 1 silver coin if Weng Ah will beat it in just 3 moves!"

People seemed busy talking about Weng Lou and Weng Ah. They have often seen their conflict.

"Hahaha ... you look down on me, Weng Ah! I only need one move to beat him!" Weng Ah said in response to those who were talking about it.

1 move!

That's an insult !!

Weng Lou's breath was raging, but he wasn't stupid enough to fight Weng Ah.

"I'm tired today. I won't be able to fight you. Let me rest for a few days, and I'll fight with you," said Weng Lou while putting on a flat face.

This surprised everyone!

"All right. I'll pity you, go. But remember this is another day you will definitely finish," said Weng Ah leaving the martial field.

The crowd that previously disbanded, the thing they were waiting for will not arrive today.

"Huh ... you Weng Ah. He purposely wanted to embarrass me!" Weng Lou left the martial arts field.

Only 1 move! Who knows if Weng Ah is so arrogant !?

It was clear that he would not let Weng Lou go that easily.

After leaving the martial arts field, Weng Lou went straight to his house.

When Weng Lou went to the Weng Main Family Clan, his parents also took pride in being able to come with their son. This is such a wonderful gift for her parents.

"I am home!"

A middle aged man with a faint smile greeted him. He is Weng Lou's father, Weng Li.

"Come on in, your mother has cooked your favorite food," said his father calmly.

Weng Lou went into the house and went straight to the dining table, he saw his mother who was busy bringing food from the kitchen smiling at him. His mother was named Weng Hai, the greatest woman Weng Lou knew.

Every time he came home, he could feel this love and warmth.

***

"Thank you ma'am! It's so delicious-!" Weng Lou ate his food hungrily. However, he realized something was wrong with the way his parents saw him.

"What's the problem mom?"

His mother looked at Weng Lou's father.

"I'll do it ... like this Lou'er. This afternoon an elder came to give a notification letter."

Weng Lou frowned at this.

"What's in the letter?"

His parents looked at each other again, before his father continued.

“The elders have made some new rules. If the youths from the branch family clans cannot reach the 3rd level of the Foundation Foundation, they will not be able to participate in the family matches. And if ... age 15, they will be returned to their respective branch family clans. "

BDUM!

Weng Lou's heart stopped when he heard this. Returned to the respective branch family clans?

No kidding!

The family match is the thing that determines the fate of all the students of the main Weng family members. This is an opportunity to change the fate of a trash man into someone worthy. If they couldn't keep up, how would it be different from being returned to a branch family clan?

Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! SHIT !!!

"Lou'er, you don't need to worry. We prefer you to be in the branch family, there you will look like a lion cub, but here you only look like a kitten." Her mother said softly while holding Weng Lou's hand.

"That's right Lou'er. Here you will only be bullied and humiliated, we better go back to the field than to see you treated like that-"

Crrak ...

Weng Lou suddenly stood up from his seat.

"I want to go out for some fresh air ..."

Weng Lou went outside without looking at his parents.

His father who saw this tried to stop Weng Lou, "Lou'er-"

His wife held his hand and shook his head slowly, his son needed time to calm his thoughts.

***

The western area of ​​the Forest of Death, near the border of White Star City.

Weng Lou was seen walking around while occasionally cursing and kicking small stones around the path.

"Huh ... how can I reach Foundation Foundation level 4 before turning 15?"

He continued walking in the forest until he stopped in front of a giant tree whose size was amazing. About 30 meters high with a diameter of 3 meters.

"Hm? It's my first time seeing this tree." Weng Long approached the tree while watching it closely.

As soon as he arrived, he touched the tree trunk, "Rough ...".

Whuuushhh .....

The wind was blowing hard causing the leaves to fly so that his view was obstructed.

"What's this wind ?!" Weng Lou protected his eyes by placing his hands in front of his face.

Fhuuushh ...

The strong wind suddenly stopped, and what made his heart stop too ... it was a large tree before ... had disappeared ... vanished as if it had never existed before. Even the used land doesn't exist at all.

"Ha..haha ... damn ... I can't believe I even experienced something this scary." Weng Long was preparing to carry out his hidden technique, shadow step, when something caught his eyes.

"Hmm .. that ... a book?".

Yes, books. The place where the giant tree had been was now replaced by an old and worn book that was not too thick. Out of curiosity, Weng Lou went to take the book and opened its contents.

'The Book of Eternity'.

That's what is written on the book page.

"The Book of Immortality? What is this ridiculous thing?"

When he was about to open the next sheet, unconsciously his hand was cut by the end of the book which was made of a kind of metal. Her blood dripped on the book, and suddenly the book shone brightly, the light was so bright that it made Weng Lou have to close his eyes.

JOut !!

There was an explosion. Because he closed his eyes, Weng Lou did not know that the old book had exploded and the explosion hit him.

Fhuuussh ...... Bumm !!

Weng Lou was thrown 20 meters away and hit a tree with his back, his consciousness began to drop, he heard a soft male voice in his ear.

"Good luck ... kid ..."

As soon as the sentence was finished, Weng Lou passed out unconscious.
