Tenfold Return System, Bound to Lin Dong

Great Yan Dynasty, Qingyang Town.

A small hill deep within the Lin Family estate.

What had once been an untrodden, weed-choked woodland now had a faint path worn through it.

Lin Tianci stood in the clearing, throwing punches and kicks with meticulous precision.

The sun blazed down on his bronzed skin. Paired with Lin Tianci's handsome face, he was so strikingly handsome that people could hardly look away.

His physique was well-built and perfectly proportioned, beads of sweat the size of beans slowly rolling down the lines of his muscles.

As his arms flexed with fluid vitality, crisp sounds rang out from his hands and feet.

"Pa."

"Pa."

"Pa."

"Pa."

Soon, he finished a set of Four-Echo Throughback Fist. Lin Tianci exhaled and slowly drew back his fists.

"I've practiced for a whole month, yet my Throughback Fist can still barely produce four echoes. The gap between me and my younger brother Lin Dong, who would later become the Martial Ancestor, is anything but small."

Lin Tianci gave a bitter smile.

When he had first transmigrated into the world of Martial Movement, he had been completely dumbfounded. Only after fully merging with the original owner's memories did he—

—half helplessly, half thankfully—accept the fact that he had transmigrated.

He was helpless because, in his previous life, he had never lacked food or clothing and had already achieved financial freedom, only to die suddenly from staying up late reading novels.

He was thankful because the identity he had transmigrated into was genuinely quite good: the Lin Family of Qingyang Town.

The very family Lin Dong belonged to.

And he was not some unnoticed nobody from a collateral lineage.

His father was Lin Zhentian's eldest son, Lin Ken.

Lin Ken had fathered a son late in life, so he named his eldest son Tianci. He had showered Lin Tianci with affection since childhood, but unfortunately, Lin Tianci had clearly not inherited Lin Ken's talent for cultivation.

Thus, even with numerous medicinal herbs supporting him, Lin Tianci had only barely reached the Body Tempering Fourth Layer.

The gap between him and his biological younger sister, Lin Xia, was far from insignificant.

Fortunately, Lin Tianci had been someone unwilling to admit defeat in his previous life. After transmigrating, even though his talent was lacking, he still cultivated every day without fail.

"Ge, I knew you'd be cultivating here again." A woman's voice, bright as silver bells, drifted closer.

A young girl in red slowly walked down the path. A faint smile rested on her pretty face, and she looked to be around seventeen or eighteen.

She was lovely, with a high brown ponytail hanging to her waist and swaying gently with every step. Her entire being radiated youthful energy.

This young girl was naturally Lin Tianci's biological younger sister, Lin Xia.

She had begun cultivating several years later than Lin Tianci. Though she was a girl, she was undeniably the strongest among the Lin Family's younger generation.

She had already reached the Body Tempering Sixth Layer and possessed considerable prestige among the younger generation, effectively serving as their leader.

Yet when facing Lin Tianci, Lin Xia showed none of a leader's bearing.

Instead, she displayed the spoiled sweetness of a younger sister before her older brother.

"Why did you come looking for me?" Lin Tianci reached for the clothes hanging from a nearby branch. After rustling into them, he finally asked.

"Ge, you cultivated until you forgot the time again. The test is about to begin. If we don't go now, we'll be late!"

Lin Xia puffed out her cheeks, revealing two tiny dimples that made her look exceptionally adorable.

Her biological ge had cast off his former listlessness these past days and immersed himself in cultivation every day. As his younger sister, she naturally saw it and felt happy for him.

Even though the Lin Family was wealthy and powerful, and her ge could spend his whole life living freely in Qingyang Town even if he simply idled away his days.

Still, as his younger sister, she did not want to see her ge remain muddleheaded every day.

"Oh, I nearly forgot about that." Lin Tianci slapped his forehead.

"Let's hurry. There are so many elders—we can't keep them waiting."

The Lin Family's Clan Competition for the younger generation was only half a month away.

Therefore, the Lin Family frequently held all kinds of minor tests during this period to urge the younger generation to cultivate harder and improve their strength.

Today's Fist Technique Test was one of them.

Before long, Lin Tianci and Lin Xia arrived at the Lin Family's Trial Hall.

It had been a long time since such a semi-formal minor test had been held, and the entire Lin Family was bustling. The clamor repeatedly startled birds from the trees.

The Trial Hall was already packed. Not only were the younger generation gathered there, but elders, family retainers, guards, and others stood around in small groups to watch the excitement.

"There really are a lot of people." Lin Tianci clicked his tongue. Since transmigrating, this was the first time he had seen such a scene in the Lin Family.

Lin Tianci suddenly thought of something and unconsciously raised an eyebrow.

Come to think of it, all the Lin Family juniors were here for today's test. His cousin, whom he had not yet met, should be here too, right?

The cousin he referred to was naturally the protagonist of Martial Movement, the Child of Destiny of the entire plane—Lin Dong!

With him around, the Lin Family's status would only rise higher and higher!

At that moment, quite a few peers noticed Lin Tianci and Lin Xia arriving.

Lin Xia was, after all, the strongest among the younger generation, so many juniors deliberately came over to greet her.

"Brother Tianci, Sister Lin Xia, you're here."

"Sister Lin Xia, I heard your strength has improved again recently and you're about to break through to the Body Tempering Seventh Layer. Could you give me some pointers when you have time?"

"..."

While casually responding to the others' attempts at conversation, Lin Tianci searched through the crowd for his target.

Soon, Lin Tianci's eyes lit up.

At the very back of the crowd stood a somewhat thin young man, whose temperament was utterly out of place among those his age.

While all the others chatted casually, he alone silently warmed up before the test.

Even without relying on the memories he had merged with, Lin Tianci recognized him at a glance. This was the undisputed protagonist of Martial Movement, the future Martial Ancestor—Lin Dong!

Lin Tianci knew that regardless of his own talent, he could never surpass Lin Dong in this lifetime.

At most, he could make a modest name for himself in Qingyang Town.

"Ding. It has been detected that the Host has encountered the Child of Destiny of this plane. The Tenfold Return System has been activated."

At that moment, an emotionless electronic synthesized voice suddenly rang out in Lin Tianci's mind.

Lin Tianci froze, then wild joy burst into his eyes.

Here it comes!

The indispensable cheat of a transmigrator—Here it comes!

After transmigrating for a month, Lin Tianci had already given up all hope of receiving any transmigrator benefits.

Yet the system had appeared at such an abrupt moment!

"System, explain your abilities."

Struggling to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, Lin Tianci hurriedly spoke in his mind.

"The Tenfold Return System will automatically bind the Child of Destiny of this plane. Any cultivation and opportunities obtained by the Child of Destiny will be returned to the Host tenfold, hundredfold, thousandfold, or ten thousandfold."
