Douluo Continent, southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire, Fasinuo Province.
Di Hun Village—the village is true to its name, named to commemorate the Spirit Emperor level powerhouse who once appeared in the village hundreds of years ago.
The name sounds somewhat grand, but in essence, it remains one of the many ordinary villages around Nuoding City, a village so ordinary it couldn't be more ordinary.
The village's main livelihood depends on the grain and vegetables produced from the farmland outside the village, which are supplied to Nuoding City, not far from here.
With occasional Hunting teams hunting mountain lords [Tigers].
Just as dawn was breaking and the morning mist had not yet dissipated, a child of about six years old was already running on the dirt road outside the village.
His pace wasn't too fast, but every step was extremely steady, and his breathing was deliberately kept to a certain rhythm.
Sweat soaked the stray hairs on his forehead and slid down his cheeks until his legs felt as heavy as lead and his lungs felt a burning sting.
Finally, a wave of fatigue washed over him like a tide, forcing him to slowly stop his pace, gasping for breath. After walking for a while, he found a place to sit and rest.
His name is Ye Jiankun, he is six years old this year, and he is an orphan, but not completely alone.
He has a grandma who raised him from the birth without being biologically related to him.
This near-masochistic training is something he has persisted in for a long time, come rain or shine.
The reason was none other than the words 'fear of death'.
One day six years ago, the village chief picked him up while out purchasing supplies, and he was adopted by the old grandma whose sons left for army.
Speaking of which, Since he was young he had a jade pendant and a ring wrapped in his baby clothes. In that same jade pendant there was a name engraved. Ye Jiankun.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, he has spent six springs and autumns on the Douluo Continent.
When he was three years old, Ye Jiankun awakened his wisdom from his past life overnight.
Memories before the age of three quickly blurred and faded, while the memories of his past life continuously circulated in his mind, gradually becoming clear.
After regaining the memories of his past life, he finally pieced together the truth of his Reincarnation to the Douluo Continent.
Due to his past life having loving parents and an University Student soul, he easily accepted the orphan status.
At least he had someone to feed him food, look at Tang San from Douluo Dalu 1, not only does he have to cook for himself from a young age, he also has to take care of that drunkard bastard.
Remembering his past life, his greatest regret was never doing what was more than necessary, only doing bare minimum and thus fading into mediocrity, disappointing his Father's expectation and throwing water on his Mother's hope.
The thought of that bitter acceptance in his parents eyes made him grit his teeth, at that moment Ye Jiankun swore, this life he would reign supreme.
It was not without any foundation, him reincarnating granted him massive bonus.
Three cheats basically he got.
1. Senju Musou (Thousand Image defense) - Record of Ragnarok, Sasaki kyojiro.
2. Dark Divine Destruction Art - Gosu, Murim.
3. Refiner's legacy - Pills and Spirit tools.
Every cheat better than the other.
They go like this.
Senju Musō
("Thousand Image Defense") is a technique where user meticulously investigates all available information of his opponents to gather every single bit of available data on them including the subtleties of his opponent's everyday life. This allows him to memorize and analyse his opponent's moves to form a simulation of them inside his mind, visualizing and battling said opponent until he finds a way to defeat them.
This is often used to predict enemies movements via mental simulations, creating and breaking down their thousands of possible attack patterns they might have by analysing their constitution, gait, breathing and blinking all before the fight even begins. However, this ability isn't perfect, since using it puts a burden on the body and the predictions themselves aren't 100% accurate, especially if the opponent's holding back.
Since user has memorized the attack patterns of all the people he's ever faced throughout his life Senju Musō can also be utilized with Image Training in order to simulate fights with his previous opponents at anytime in order to train with them and become more powerful. After doing this process for a certain period of time, user can even copy his opponent's techniques and integrate them in his own fighting style.
Dark divine destruction
Also known as, Twelve Divine Heavenly Destruction Techniques are a set of a martial arts techniques that constitute a style developed by The Heavenly Destroyer. According to him, no-one can take a Divine Heavenly Destruction Technique head on and live.
Refiner's Legacy:
"Knowledge is the only true constant in a world of fleeting talent."
The Refiner's Legacy is an ancient compendium of practical craft and spiritual chemistry. Unlike the secret scrolls of the Great Sects, it does not offer "power"—it offers the blueprints to create it.
It is divided into two fundamental pillars:
1. The Path of Tools (Up to Rank 4): A complete archive of Spirit Tool engineering. From the initial forging of spirit-conductive metals to the intricate carving of Rank 4 arrays, it provides the knowledge to equip a Spirit Ancestor with gear that defies traditional common sense.
2. The Path of Alchemy (Immortal Grade): The pinnacle of medicinal theory. It contains the precise temperatures, catalyst ratios, and spiritual frequencies required to refine Immortal-Grade Pills—substances capable of purging impurities, hardening meridians, and evolving the very essence of a Spirit Master.
Protected by a Concealer Field, the knowledge contained in the ring remains a silent mentor, waiting for the practitioner to turn its pages and bridge the gap between "talent" and "perfection."
(First Person Pov)
"With cheats like these, If I cant even defeat Tang San, I should just get a tofu to behead myself and then get a Jal-samadhi (water burial) in a handful of water." I think while scoffing at the mere thought of being less than him.
Still, thanks to me awakening my memories since 3 years old, I've been relentlessly training in each technique since then.
I've long since reached Flow Awakening stage of Dark Divine Destruction, as well as just getting to predict the actions of Normal Animals.
'Heh, Predicting the moves of mindless animals, Ive truly grown.'
I seem to have encountered the same problem as Tang San from neighbouring village, I think I can only advance when I've added a spirit ring.
"Sigh- Spirit awakening ceremony is a tomorrow, hopefully I can awaken a top-tier spirit."
Looking at the sky, Its time for grandma to wake up. I should go home and make something good for her.
Run-run-run-run.
