Infinite Critical Hit System

The night was somber.

Across the pitch-black sky, wisps of cloud slowly drifted past the hook-shaped crescent moon.

Tong City.

The Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall.

"Huh?"

Lu Yun felt as though his head would split apart, and his entire body was drained of strength.

"Yun, what's wrong? Wake up!"

He instinctively raised his head and looked over.

Before him stood a girl in red, with picture-perfect features, long hair falling to her shoulders, and a slender, graceful figure.

At that moment.

She was staring at him anxiously.

Who is she?

What is this place?

Wasn't I just hit and sent flying by that Mercedes coming straight at me?

As he looked around the utterly unfamiliar room.

Bloodshot streaks appeared in Lu Yun's eyes, and his face grew even paler.

Just as his mind became a tangled mess and he could make no sense of anything.

All of a sudden.

Countless jumbled fragments of memory surged into his mind like a tide.

So that's what happened!

Who would have thought...

I actually transmigrated!

Not long ago.

He had been nothing more than an ordinary university student on Earth.

But...

An unexpected car accident.

Had brought him here through a strange twist of fate.

And.

He had been reborn in the body of a young man with exactly the same name.

Since heaven has given me a chance at a new life, I must treasure it!

Lu Yun silently made up his mind.

According to the memories he had absorbed.

The world he now found himself in...

Was called Sky Net Star.

This was a world of revived spiritual energy, a great era of martial arts.

Judging from his current situation.

Although his injuries were serious, turning things around was not entirely impossible.

I'm now the only son of Lu Xingwen, master of the Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall. The girl before me is Chu Lingxue, and we grew up together.

Her father, Chu Hongxin, is not only this city's lord, but also an incredibly powerful expert in the late Primordial Astral Realm.

Thoughts raced through Lu Yun's mind.

With his father Lu Xingwen's strength.

He would never let his only son remain crippled like this.

Most importantly...

Chu Hongxin could not possibly stand idly by.

First, he was his father's senior fellow disciple.

Second, Lu Yun had suffered these grave injuries largely because he had been caught up in Chu Lingxue's trouble.

Half a year ago...

Chu Lingxue had invited Lu Yun to visit the City God Temple.

Neither had expected.

To encounter an assassin along the way.

Although both had personal guards with them, the assassin's martial prowess was simply too formidable.

According to Lu Yun's judgment at the time.

The man's cultivation had been no lower than his father's. He had definitely reached the Xiantian Realm.

That was rather terrifying.

After all.

Ever since the arrival of the Spirit Revival Era.

The Martial Dao Alliance, Sky Net Star's highest organization, had conducted years of research.

Using hundreds of thousands of samples they had collected.

They had divided martial cultivation into the Body Tempering Realm, Postnatal Realm, Xiantian Realm, and Origin Astral Realm, from lowest to highest.

Above the Origin Astral Realm were the Divine Aperture Realm, Sea-Opening Realm, Star-Gathering Realm...

Each major realm could be further divided into five stages: early, middle, late, peak, and perfection.

Lu Yun's father, Lu Xingwen, was the master of the Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall, and his strength was at the Innate Realm Peak.

Although the guards present had all been Postnatal Realm experts.

Unfortunately.

Against an assassin an entire major realm above them, they had been utterly powerless to fight back.

Very soon...

They had all been knocked to the ground.

That day.

The assassin's target had clearly been Chu Lingxue.

At the critical instant.

The savage force of his punch had been about to strike Chu Lingxue's delicate body.

Lu Yun had mustered every ounce of strength...

And used his family's secret technique, Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees.

To swap places with Chu Lingxue in an instant.

Precisely because of that.

His dantian and sea of qi had suffered devastating damage.

Fortunately, Chu Hongxin had arrived shortly after receiving the news.

The assassin had realized that things had taken a bad turn.

Having failed to land his killing blow.

He had swiftly fled the scene.

Both of them had been fortunate enough to survive.

However.

The force of the assassin's punch had been so savage and overpowering that it had directly destroyed Lu Yun's dantian and sea of qi.

Causing him to lose all his cultivation.

Even now.

He remained unable to gather any spiritual power within his body.

Afterward.

Although Lu Xingwen and Chu Hongxin had racked their brains and searched tirelessly for a way to repair his dantian and sea of qi.

Yet.

The injuries Lu Yun had suffered had been far too severe.

There was simply no way for him to recover fully.

Once Lu Yun understood the whole sequence of events.

He could not help sighing.

In this world where martial strength reigned supreme and the strong devoured the weak.

A destroyed dantian...

Meant being unable to cultivate.

Even with his father and the deputy city lord backing him.

Their support was ultimately only external strength.

In the end.

Only by becoming truly strong himself.

Could he gain the means to survive in this cruel world.

"Boohoo... it's all my fault!"

"If I hadn't asked you to go to the City God Temple that day, none of this would have happened."

"You'd already reached perfection in the Body Tempering Realm. You were just about to advance to the Postnatal Realm."

"But then..."

Although Lu Yun had awakened, Chu Lingxue saw that his eyes looked rather vacant.

She was once again overwhelmed by guilt.

She thought losing his cultivation had dealt him too heavy a blow.

Her beautiful eyes, clear as autumn waters.

Gradually misted over.

Crystal-clear tears came tumbling down.

She knew very well.

That before his injury.

Lu Yun had been a martial prodigy with something of a reputation in Tong City.

Before he had even turned sixteen.

He had already become an expert at perfection in the Body Tempering Realm.

Had it not been for this accident.

He would almost certainly have advanced to the Postnatal Realm.

A promising future had awaited him.

But now...

At that thought.

Chu Lingxue felt even more miserable.

"Silly girl! Don't cry."

Looking at the girl, whose tear-streaked face resembled pear blossoms drenched in rain.

Lu Yun, having absorbed the memories of this life, felt tender sympathy well up in his heart.

He reached out with his clean, slender fingers and gently touched Chu Lingxue's forehead.

Only then did Chu Lingxue come back to her senses.

She hurriedly wiped her still-misty eyes.

She vaguely sensed that Lu Yun seemed somewhat different from before, but in her flustered state, she could not say why.

All she felt was.

That his fingers carried a faint warmth.

His deep, mellow voice curled into her ears like the soft scratch of a cat's paw.

It practically made...

Her heart skip half a beat.

"Then... get some rest. I'll head home."

"I'll come see you another day."

After saying that.

Chu Lingxue's pretty face had flushed red.

She stepped forward on her long, lovely legs, turning and leaving in a fluster.

Inside the small room.

Only wisps of a delicate fragrance, like orchids and musk, remained.

And Lu Yun...

Stared blankly at her graceful figure as she left.

After a long while.

He finally turned back and let out a long sigh.

"Getting hurt for such a kindhearted girl wasn't such a bad bargain."

"But..."

"I've been here for so long. Why hasn't my cheat arrived yet?"

As a seasoned fantasy fan from Blue Star.

How could Lu Yun not know what came standard for someone who had transmigrated?!

Just as irritation began to stir in his heart...

Inside his mind.

A mechanical voice, like an electronic tone, suddenly rang out.

[Ding!]
