Opening His Eyes, He Had Transmigrated

The dazzling sunlight streamed through the window and fell across Xiao Ming's eyelids.

In his daze, a flood of memories that did not belong to him suddenly poured into Xiao Ming's mind.

I actually transmigrated?

Xiao Ming looked at his surroundings and could not help widening his eyes.

But Xiao Ming soon realized, rather miserably, that his background after transmigrating was nothing like those others who had been born as favored sons of heaven.

Xiao Ming was now merely a back-courtyard servant of the Xiao Clan in Wutan City.

Although Xiao Ming's status was not high, he had originally been a fan of Battle Through the Heavens. When he learned that he had transmigrated into the Xiao Clan, he could not suppress the excitement in his heart. After all, this was the Xiao Clan that had Xiao Yan in it.

That excitement caused Xiao Ming to accidentally fall from a bottomless mountain cliff.

When Xiao Ming struggled up from the bed while clutching the wound on his chest, he found himself in an extremely shabby room.

Just as Xiao Ming was still trying hard to recall exactly how he had ended up here, a crisp, childish voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Big brother... you're finally awake!"

At that moment, a little girl who looked about seven or eight years old entered carrying a basin of hot water. Seeing Xiao Ming sitting up on the bed, she smiled.

Hearing the girl's words, although he had no idea who she was, Xiao Ming could only nod to indicate that he was awake.

"Big brother, rest first. I'll go have Mama cook you a bowl of wild vegetable porridge."

With that, the little girl scampered out.

After the little girl left, Xiao Ming suddenly felt an intense headache.

At that moment, a cold mechanical female voice sounded beside Xiao Ming's ear.

"Host, congratulations on unlocking the system. Please choose the skill you wish to obtain."

Xiao Ming froze when he heard the system's female voice.

He had only just finished absorbing the memories originally belonging to this body. Why had a system suddenly appeared now?

"Host, what skill would you like to obtain?" As Xiao Ming was puzzling over this, the cold mechanical female voice came again.

Upon hearing her voice, Xiao Ming could not help frowning slightly. The system's female voice felt somewhat familiar, but he could not recall where he had heard it before.

However, Xiao Ming was in no mood to dwell on that matter. He immediately turned his attention to the several skills provided by the system.

What the hell were these things?

The next second, Xiao Ming's gaze was drawn to a book that was entirely black.

The moment Xiao Ming reached out and touched the book, a great deal of information about it suddenly appeared in his mind.

[Eternal Life: Stores the power of Eternal Life within the user's body and can automatically repair the user's damaged body. Every fifteen seconds, it consumes 100 life force to repair the host's body.]

"What the hell is this?" Xiao Ming carefully reviewed the information in his mind, utterly bewildered as he muttered to himself.

As Xiao Ming muttered, a beautiful woman in a red cheongsam suddenly appeared out of thin air within his sea of consciousness.

"Who are you?" Xiao Ming asked warily the instant he saw the beautiful woman.

"Hello, Master. My name is Ya Fei, and I am your dedicated customer service representative."

Ya Fei explained respectfully to Xiao Ming.

"Customer service representative?"

Seeing that Xiao Ming still looked confused, Ya Fei smiled gracefully. "Master, Ya Fei will explain each of the questions in your heart over time. For now, please choose your exclusive starting skill first."

After hearing Ya Fei's words, Xiao Ming nodded and immediately focused his attention on the book before him.

"Then, Ya Fei, can you explain what life force is?"

Xiao Ming looked Ya Fei up and down as he asked curiously.

Since this Ya Fei was the dedicated customer service representative arranged for him by the system, he naturally had to make full use of her.

"Master, life force is a type of power found on the Battle Qi Continent. The people of this continent usually call this power battle qi!"

"What! Battle qi is life force?!"

After hearing Ya Fei's explanation, Xiao Ming asked in astonishment.

"Yes. On the Battle Qi Continent, once one becomes a Battle Practitioner, one can absorb battle qi from heaven and earth to strengthen oneself."

Ya Fei's words had already stirred up a storm in Xiao Ming's heart.

Then, if he chose Eternal Life, would that not mean he could never die?

After all, although Xiao Ming was currently only a back-courtyard servant of the Xiao Clan, he had fortunately become a Battle Practitioner by a strange twist of fate. Thus, he could easily absorb battle qi.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming chose Eternal Life without any hesitation.

As Xiao Ming finished making his choice, a silver-white Eternal Spear suddenly appeared before him.

[Eternal Spear: A product of Eternal Life, capable of instantly killing enemies one major realm above the wielder.]

"Ya Fei, is this weapon really that powerful?"

Xiao Ming looked at the Eternal Spear before him and could not help asking.

"Yes. This weapon possesses incomparably terrifying power. Moreover, Master, the Eternal Spear requires eternal energy to unleash its greatest strength. This eternal energy is the life force the host needs, and in this world, only the host can control this Eternal Spear."

Ya Fei answered respectfully.

After hearing Ya Fei's words, Xiao Ming fell silent. He had not expected the Eternal Spear to truly be a divine artifact.

Just then, the sound of a door opening suddenly rang out, pulling Xiao Ming's consciousness back into reality.

This time, however, Xiao Ming found that there were two more people in the room. One was the little girl who had just entered, and beside her stood a woman dressed in coarse linen clothes. Seeing how similar her face was to the little girl's, Xiao Ming guessed that she was the girl's mother.

"Young man, you're finally awake. You must be hungry, right? Here, let me serve you a bowl of porridge."

Seeing that Xiao Ming had awakened, the little girl's mother turned and scooped up a bowl of steaming wild vegetable porridge from a large bowl nearby, handing it to Xiao Ming.

Looking at the wild vegetable porridge in his hands, Xiao Ming suddenly recalled how, in his original world, he had gone out early and returned late every day just to make a living. Even when he was sick, he could only endure it alone.
