On the dining table to the right of the large tent, a delicious dinner was already laid out, emitting an enticing aroma.

Sun Fei could tell that the boy was clearly very hungry; his lips were dry. Moreover, Sun Fei had already told the boy to eat on his own first. However, in the time before Sun Fei entered the tent, the boy still refrained from eating a single bite. These details reflected some of the boy's qualities, which was perhaps one of the reasons why Sun Fei liked this disabled boy.

"Have something to eat first," Sun Fei helped Deisler to the table, poured him a full glass of milk, and served him some porridge. He smiled and said, "If you don't mind, let's eat and talk about what happened before. I want to know when you and the villagers settled on this island."

Deisler gripped the cup tightly with his pale, thin fingers, quietly finished the steaming milk, and licked the milk stains from the corner of his mouth.

After eating, he seemed to regain his energy and vitality. A touch of color returned to his pale face, and he slowly said, "Thank you, esteemed sir. My name is Deisler, Binios Deisler. I have lived on this island since birth..."

My name is Deisler.

Binios Deisler

From as far back as I can remember, I have lived on this island that everyone calls [ Blood Sin ].

In everyone's description, [ Blood Sin ] is a safe haven, beautiful like a fairyland, where people can Avoid the disaster that has been looming over their people.

Unfortunately, I have never been able to truly see this incredibly beautiful island that everyone talks about, nor have I been able to see the soft, comfortable white sand beaches studded with colorful seashells that my friends described. I don't even know what Uncle Beileidi, who has been taking such good care of me, looks like, nor do I know what my future wife, who is said to have been chosen from among more than sixty girls on the island, actually looks like, or whether she is as beautiful, kind, gentle, and affectionate as my friends say!

Because I am blind.

From the moment I was born, it was destined that my life would be spent in endless darkness.

If I were merely blind, then perhaps God's curse upon me wouldn't be too much.

I have other options.

Unfortunately, when I was one year old, I learned that in addition to being blind, I was also born with a useless body. Even people with mediocre talent have a certain number of Dou Qi channels or magic channels in their bodies that can be cultivated. The existence of these channels makes it possible to cultivate martial arts. However, I did not have a single such channel in my body; they were all blocked and solidified.

This means that I am not only blind, but also a blind person destined to be utterly mediocre and forever barred from martial arts.

Heaven has been far too harsh on me.

If this happened anywhere else, someone crippled like me would have been thrown into the wilderness to be eaten by wild animals long ago, before I even learned to speak.

So the only fortunate thing is that from the moment I was born, I was given the great and Glory surname ' Binios '.

My shoulders bear the last bloodline of the Binios Family, the most legendary heroes of the Human Clan.

I am the chieftain of the entire Blood Sin Island, I have been since birth.

My father died in a fierce battle before everyone moved to this island, and my mother is said to have died in childbirth while giving birth to me. Apart from me, an orphan, the other two thousand or so people on the island are Binios Family, as well as their descendants—including Uncle Beileidi, who is known as the best fighter in the family.

They are the most Glory and loyal warriors, elders, friends, and relatives in the world.

Despite being a complete failure, I constantly enjoy the love and care from everyone.

I could tell that it was a genuine feeling from the bottom of my heart, not a pretense or pity.

Everyone on [ Blood Sin ] Island cherishes me and fulfills my every request. Uncle Beileidi tried everything and made countless sacrifices to help me restore the power channels within my body, giving me the possibility of becoming a martial artist... but all attempts failed.

I too was once filled with despair about my life.

It took me a full ten years to calmly accept the curse that fate had placed upon me.

Then I spent the next four years learning about the world.

In my fourteen years of life, I accomplished two things that other people my age could have done in a year or even half a year.

Gradually, I was able to feel a joy that others could not understand, to discover things that others could not discover, and to capture fleeting moments of light in endless, eternal darkness.

People say I'm a born sage.

If I hadn't been born with a disability, I might have become an unparalleled figure in the world.

Their tone was full of regret and pity.

They found me the most beautiful, intelligent, and talented girl in the tribe to be my fiancée. After my coming-of-age ceremony at eighteen, I will marry this girl. Perhaps it won't be long before I have children, so that Binios name and dispel the dark cloud hanging over everyone's hearts.

Am I just a pathetic tool for perpetuating my bloodline?

No, I don't think so.

These are my responsibilities, my mission, my Glory... and the greatest things that a good-for-nothing like me can accomplish within my capabilities, just like how my companions on the island poured their lives and the lives of their descendants into me for a surname that was almost buried in the dust of history.

Why be extra greedy?

Why ask for more?

I am very satisfied.

However, it seems that fate's curse on me will never end.

Misfortune struck again.

As the sun set, demons never before seen climbed from the beautiful beach onto the island, breaching the village. Elders and friends, with whom I had lived day and night, perished at the demons' hands. Even my incredibly powerful Uncle Beileidi was unable to repel these terrifying demons. With tears in his eyes, he abandoned everyone, leading the village's strongest warrior to protect me as we fled...

Unfortunately, in the end, the demons still caught up.

We are in dire straits.

I couldn't see it, but I could feel Uncle Beileidi's grief and indignation.

Do the gods in heaven truly hate the Binios name so much, or are they simply afraid, that they've cast so many curses, determined to annihilate this bloodline?

But then, an invincible God of War descended.

They slaughtered Sea Clan and turned the tide.

As Sun Fei listened quietly to Deisler recount his story with an extremely calm and undisturbed expression, his gaze towards the thin, pale boy was filled with sympathy and pity.

He's just a fourteen-year-old boy. What kind of weight has he borne in his past life, yet he still faces his harsh and unjust fate with such calmness, smiling at everything? Such a noble soul, such unwavering character—even many tough men couldn't bear it.

If one could learn martial arts, such a strong person in life would definitely become a grandmaster of martial arts.

That's such a pity.

"Let me examine the energy channels within your body. Perhaps there's a way to help you rebuild your martial arts path." With a try-it-and-see attitude, Sun Fei gently placed his fingers on Deisler's wrist, and a golden energy gently flowed into the boy's body to examine his physical condition.
