Martial God Nurturing System

Xuanhuang Continent, Great Xia Dynasty.

Zhenbei King Manor, main hall.

A middle-aged man with sword-like brows and star-bright eyes sat majestically in the center, his tiger-like eyes flashing with sharp light; seeing Xiao Chen arrive, he could not help but frown.

Beside the man sat a noble and graceful lady, still retaining her charm, dressed in a bright red palace gown; the look she cast toward Xiao Chen was filled with impatience and detachment.

Below the two sat a youth in snow-white robes, handsome of face and upright of stature, though an air of arrogance lingered between his brows; upon seeing Xiao Chen, a flash of undisguised disdain crossed his eyes.

The next moment, Xiao Chen's gaze suddenly stalled, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.

His head felt as if it were splitting apart.

A surge of memories flooded in like a tide.

After accepting a portion of the memories, Xiao Chen was shocked to the core!

What the hell!

He had transmigrated?

He only remembered that he had been getting intimate with a busty blonde girl in a secluded grove when he was suddenly struck by a bolt of lightning and died on the spot.

That's right!

That damn lightning had been just that precise!

Just like that, Xiao Chen had transmigrated.

At this moment, his mood was slightly agitated.

As a veteran fan of fantasy novels, he naturally knew what it meant for a modern person to transmigrate into a fantasy world!

They were almost all badass characters overflowing with charisma, cheating their way to the top.

Once the system arrives.

The world is mine!

Holding the sun and moon to pluck the stars, becoming a peerless figure in this world would be no problem at all!

He loved such a world where the weak are prey to the strong and power is supreme.

In such a place, as long as you have strength, you can do whatever you want!

Thinking of this.

He happily began to call for the system.

However.

Everything that happened next made his hands and feet go cold.

"System?"

"Stop playing around, come out already!"

"System, where are you? Where the hell did you die to?"

No matter how much Xiao Chen shouted until his throat went hoarse.

The system did not appear.

"Damn it! Don't tell me that as a transmigrator, I actually don't have a system?"

Xiao Chen's mouth twitched.

After shouting for a long time.

Seeing that the system still did not appear.

Xiao Chen gradually accepted this reality.

Fine!

No system.

Being a peerless prodigy or a wealthy playboy wouldn't be bad either!

Looking at this magnificent, golden house.

He figured his background couldn't be low.

Xiao Chen consoled himself, forcing a smile.

But when he finished merging the memories.

The smile on his face gradually froze.

Through his memories, Xiao Chen learned.

His predecessor was also named Xiao Chen, the legitimate eldest son of the Zhenbei King, Xiao Zhentian; when he was born, half of his one hundred and eight Martial Apertures were already open, possessing the world-shaking Explosive King Physique, a rare genius not seen in a century.

One must know that the Great Xia Dynasty was currently being invaded by the Demon Domain, with the demon scourge rampant and the human race in peril; only by becoming a powerful martial artist could one possess the terrifying strength unreachable by ordinary people to resist the Demon Race and protect one's loved ones.

And wanting to become a martial artist was no easy task.

It required extremely high talent.

According to the level of talent, martial artists are categorized into Yellow, Profound, Earth, Heaven, King, Saint, and God ranks.

Martial arts prodigies with high talent are extremely rare.

The Profound Rank is one in ten thousand; those who possess it can be called geniuses.

The Earth Rank is even rarer, viewed as the pride of a generation.

As for the Heaven Rank, they are peerless prodigies fought over by thousands; many ancient sects with ten thousand years of heritage would not hesitate to spill blood just to secure a single Heaven Rank talent.

Anything above that exists almost exclusively in legends, with one rarely seen even in a hundred years.

Xiao Chen was born with the Born King Physique, a talent that shook the past and dazzled the present.

But heaven is jealous of talent. Once, when enemies of the Zhenbei King Manor launched a surprise attack, Xiao Zhentian happened to be away fighting. The enemies broke directly into the inner courtyard. Xiao Chen had a chance to escape, but to protect his younger brother Xiao Lingtian, who was too terrified to move, he desperately took a palm strike from the enemy head-on.

Fortunately, the guards arrived in time to save him.

However, that single strike shattered his dantian, rendering him a cripple.

From that moment on, his fate underwent a cataclysmic change.

At first, his parents tried every method to heal his injuries.

But as time passed, they realized he had no hope of recovery and shifted their focus toward cultivating his younger brother, Xiao Lingtian.

Xiao Lingtian possessed extraordinary talent, reaching the peak Heaven Rank. While it paled in comparison to Xiao Chen's Explosive King Physique, he was still considered a peerless prodigy throughout the Great Xia.

Gradually.

His parents paid less and less attention to Xiao Chen, eventually growing to despise him.

After all, in an era where strength determines everything, the legitimate eldest son of the dignified Zhenbei King being a useless cripple who could not cultivate was nothing short of a massive joke.

Later on.

To preserve the reputation of the manor.

Xiao Zhentian and his wife cast the fifteen-year-old Xiao Chen away to Bear Martial City, located near Barren North City, leaving him to be raised by an old veteran who had served under Xiao Zhentian, under the pretense of letting him heal in peace.

He was left there for three years.

For three years, despite being so close, Xiao Zhentian and his wife never visited Xiao Chen once.

It was as if they had never had this son at all.

On the other side.

Xiao Lingtian inherited every bit of glory that had originally belonged to Xiao Chen.

Peerless prodigy!

Son of the Zhenbei King!

The future backbone of the human race!

No one remembered that the Zhenbei King Manor had once possessed an unparalleled, world-shaking King Physique.

Yet, the original owner was someone who valued family deeply; he truly believed his parents had his best interests at heart, never begrudged his brother for taking everything that belonged to him, and remained respectful and loving toward them.

It wasn't until a month ago, when Xiao Zhentian brought Xiao Chen back to Barren North City to fulfill a marriage contract made with the Great Xia Imperial family years ago, that he realized everything had changed.

Indifferent parents.

An arrogant brother.

Insolent servants.

He suddenly realized.

He no longer had a place in this home; he was living worse than a dog.

Three days ago.

His brother, Xiao Lingtian, approached Xiao Chen and told him that he had taken a liking to Xiao Chen's fiancée, Ye Qingxuan, demanding that he voluntarily break off the engagement.

Ye Qingxuan was the woman Xiao Chen had always admired in his heart, so he naturally refused.

Enraged, Xiao Lingtian showed no regard for the fact that Xiao Chen was a powerless cripple and ruthlessly attacked him, beating him until he was severely wounded!

When Xiao Zhentian and his wife heard of the incident, they didn't believe a word Xiao Chen said, instead scolding him for slandering his brother, not even bothering to check his injuries.

Just like that.

The original owner died from his severe wounds.

And just then, Xiao Chen, who had been struck by lightning, transmigrated into this body.

After merging with the original owner's memories.

Xiao Chen was completely stunned.

Abandoned by parents.

Insulted by his brother.

Despised by servants.

And he didn't even have a system.

What a hellish start this is!

Good heavens, did I offend you somewhere?

Why are you playing me like this?

It took quite a while.

Xiao Chen finally calmed his mood.

Glancing at Xiao Zhentian, Wen Wanrong, and Xiao Lingtian before him.

Xiao Chen only felt a chill in his heart.

Although they were his closest kin, Xiao Chen felt not a shred of warmth from them, only coldness and disgust.

"Audacious! You rebellious son, I summoned you to discuss matters, yet you dragged your feet and only arrive now?"

"Do you even hold me, your father, in your eyes?"

"Get down on your knees this instant!"

Seeing Xiao Chen still acting so unhurried, Xiao Zhentian couldn't help but slam the table heavily, causing the surrounding servants to tremble in fear.

At the same time, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

The Xiao Chen of the past, though a waste, was at least extremely respectful whenever he saw him.

But today's Xiao Chen, summoned by him, not only arrived late but also appeared so leisurely upon seeing him; he had absolutely no manners at all.

Hearing these words.

A surge of nameless anger suddenly welled up in Xiao Chen's heart.

It seemed the emotions of his predecessor were at work.

Although he was a bit slow this time, it was only by a tiny margin; it could hardly be called dragging his feet.

Xiao Zhentian was actually flying into such a rage and ordering him to kneel?

When Xiao Lingtian was summoned, arriving an hour or two late was a common occurrence, yet Xiao Zhentian had never uttered a single word to him.

This double standard was just too damn obvious, wasn't it?

Just as Xiao Chen couldn't help but want to curse out loud.

A cold, mechanical female voice suddenly rang in Xiao Chen's ears.

[Ding...]

[Martial God Nurturing System is activating.]

[Activation successful! Entering the blind box selection interface. The host will receive different rewards based on different choices, but the rewards remain unknown until the host makes a selection.]

"Damn, a system?"

"You finally decided to show up?"

"Do you have any idea how I spent these last ten minutes?"

Xiao Chen's body trembled with excitement, and he couldn't help but roar in his heart!

Just a little bit more.

Just a little bit more.

And he would have launched a suicidal challenge against Xiao Zhentian.

(Realm classification: Disciple, Master, General, Sect, King. Only five realms are announced for now; others will be revealed gradually later!)
