Abandoned By Heaven?

Back home, Jiang Chen first set his fish down and then walked towards the Village Chief Jack's house.

Speaking of it, Old Jack is his lifesaver. He lived with Old Jack at the beginning, it was only when he became 3 years old and began cultivating that evil technique did the Village begin to regard him as a Plague God.

Even Old Jack could not stand him, he would get sick every other way. It was only until later when he could not stand it anymore did Old Jack give Jiang Chen the most remote yard in the Village and let him live alone.

Jiang Chen also knew the danger he brought to the Villagers, so he did not resent them for their action.

Since he was successful in his cultivation and was able to greatly improve his ability, he had learned to hunt on his own. He would catch lots of prey and give it to the Villagers, unfortunately, more often than not, he would be mercilessly rejected.

The Villagers' fear of him has reached an unimaginable level. Not only are they afraid to approach Jiang Chen, but even the prey Jiang Chen sends over is left untouched because they are afraid of being contaminated by his bad luck and whatever disease he may give them.

Only Old Jack and Tang San are afraid of him to a lesser extent compared to the rest.

Every time he caught some extra prey, he would give Old Jack some, this left Old Jack pleased with Jiang Chen.

Along the way, everyone who saw Jiang Chen, whether it be a woman going out to wash clothes, or a man carrying a farm tool and ready to set off to work, or a child who had just got up and wanted to play with the other children, all of them would recoil and run away in horror and fear, afraid that they will be his next victim.

"He is a scourge, a Broom Star!" The women whispered.

There were even some children who threw stones at him from a distance, but how could they hit Jiang Chen with Jiang Chen's far superior physical capabilities?

Jiang Chen turned his head suddenly, scaring a group of children, sending them screaming and fleeing to their mothers.

"Heh, you want to fuck me with this level of bravery?" Jiang Chen shook his head and smiled. He found it funny every time the little brats get scared and run off to their parents.

Old Jack's house is near the centre of the Village, Jiang Chen arrived there not long after.

By now, the sun had risen, Old Jack had brought out a bamboo desk chair and was currently basking in the morning sun's rays.

"Grandpa Jack!" Jiang Chen shouted from afar.

Hearing Jiang Chen's voice, Old Jack imperceptibly trembled, he then quickly got up, ran to the gate of his house and quickly locked the gate. His movement was completed in one go, unlike an old man in his 60's.

After closing the door, he took a few steps back and let out a long sigh of relief.

Jiang Chen had already stopped, he was not angry and slowly walked to the yard's gate.

"Grandpa Jack, I've brought a fish!"

"Xiao Chen, you are such a good boy. Just hang the fish at the door, I will bring it in later on." Old Jack stood 5 metres away from the gate and did not dare to get too close.

Jiang Chen skillfully hung the fish onto the door handle, looking at the house he had lived in for 3 years, he felt a little nostalgic.

Old Jack had picked him up in a swaddle and then taken him in and raised him for 3 years.

He had asked Old Jack about his origin, Old Jack told him that he picked him up outside Nuo Ding City. When Old Jack picked him up, he was as thin as wood and as tiny as a mouse.

Old Jack thought that Jiang Chen would not survive, fortunately, he did.

Jiang Chen heard from the Villagers that on the day Old Jack picked him up, the sky above the Village was covered with dark clouds, thunder roared furiously and lightning crackled as if Heaven or a God had been angered, frightening many people.

So when Jiang Chen later practised that evil technique and begun to inadvertently harm many people, the Villagers connected that to the roaring thunder and crackling lightning from that day, thinking that he was someone who had been abandoned by Heaven and incurred God's wrath.

Jiang Chen naturally did not believe these rumours. He is such a good child, how could he have incurred God's fury?

...

After hanging the fish on the door, Jiang Chen turned around and was about to leave, but he remembered something important.

"Grandpa Jack, when will Su Yuntao come?"

"How many times have I told you, be polite and call him Lord Su Yuntao, okay?!" Old Jack reprimanded.

Then he spoke: "Lord Su Yuntao will come to our Village the day after tomorrow, you can go to him together."

Jiang Chen suddenly felt something was wrong, and said suspiciously, "Grandpa, did you forget me? If I did not ask today, were you not going to include me in the Martial Spirit Awakening Ceremony the day after tomorrow?"

Old Jack coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, "I am old now, of course, I would be forgetful from time to time."

Jiang Chen remained silent before he said, "Okay, I'll go back first, I will attend the Martial Spirit Awakening Ceremony on time the day after tomorrow."

"Go, go." Old Jack waved his hand again and again.

After Jiang Chen left, Old Jack quickly opened the door and happily brought the large fish in.

"I did not pick up the wrong boy back then. Xiao Chen really is a good boy!" Jiang Chen would give him nutritious food every few days, causing him to thank his past self for picking up Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen, who had already walked far away, felt his ears twitch when he heard Old Jack talking to himself, hearing what he said, a smile appeared on his handsome face.

Ding Dong...Ding Dong...Ding Dong...

The sound of iron being struck rang, Jiang Chen stopped and looked at a location near the Village Chief's house.

There were 3 simple houses there. On top of the house in the centre, hung a wooden sign with a simple hammer painted on it.

Jiang Chen knew that that was Tang San's home. Tang San should currently be training his blacksmith skills. How did he know that it was Tang San hammering away? Because he knew that Tang Hao that sloppy drunkard will not get up until noon.

He has never been to the blacksmith shop before. And he is the only person in the Village who knows who Tang Hao really is. He knows that Tang Hao is a terrifyingly powerful Titled Douluo. When he first stepped into the Titled Douluo realm, he was able to defeat all of his pursuers, he was even indirectly responsible for the Former Supreme Pontiff, Qian Xunji's death!

If Tang Hao thought he was a scourge like those Villagers, he would beat him to death with a single hammer, fortunately, that has not happened.

After returning home, Jiang Chen ate his fish and went to sleep. This is his habit. It is not suitable for him to cultivate during the day. He usually stays in his house and sleeps and only gets up to eat and drink some water.

It was evening when he woke up, after a simple dinner, he jumped onto the roof, waiting for the night to arrive.

Finally, the setting sun sank below the mountain and the bright moon peeked its head out, another wonderful and beautiful night had descended.

Jiang Chen began cultivating with the moon's appearance, as his technique operated, wisps of Moon Essence that was invisible to the naked eye poured down from the sky and was absorbed into his body.

His pupils instantaneously became black as ink. His trimmed nails rapidly grew to become an inch long. His nails were jet-black and their tips were extremely sharp.

Two tiny, white canines strangely grew to jut out of his closed lips, making his handsome face appear unusual and cute.

Energy akin to that of the Nine Hells radiated from his body, it lingered around his body, causing his body to be full of gloomy and terrifying Black Qi.

Absorbing the Moon Essence, Jiang Chen felt comfortable and became immersed in his cultivation.
