Chapter 1- Unknown Phenomenon

Purple Berry Mountain

A figure that was taller than an average teen was currently punching a tree. The tree had countless fist marks on it and also lots of bloodstains, some dry, and some fresh. If one were to look at the teen, they would feel pity for him. This child's arms were badly scarred and his fists were badly mutilated, with barely no skin left to cover his bare flesh.

This teen went by the name of Wan Long. He was born in the branch family of the Wan family, the number one clan in their Land of Martialism. He was the son of a family who were given a small role in caring for the Purple Berry Mountain which was under the possession of the main family. This mountain was located in the south of the Wan family Province, near the location of the main family, which was at the middle.

Since birth, he was disregarded by many of his clansmen and treated as trash. This was because when he was at the age of 7, he underwent the talent examination that every youth took at the local temple. He was announced to have a low grade four talent, the Nine-coloured Snake. The talent grades were separated into many different sections. The ranks from one to three were low tier talent, which most people had, grades four to six were medium tier talents, and those with grades of seven to nine were considered high tier talent that many schools would want in their school. But there were those had an even higher talent. These people were those who had king-tier and emperor-tier talent. The ones who had these talents were regarded as geniuses at the peak and had the chance to be an overlord in the future. Such talents only came once a few centuries and in the Wan Province, there had only been one king-tier talent.

It was the founder and ancestor of the Wan Family, Wan Jianlong, who had the king-tier martial talent, The King Sword Dragon.

Even though he was from the Wan family, the most prestigious clan in the Land of Martialism, his talent was inferior to others in the clan. The average talent for the Wan clan was low fifth grade talent. This was treated as their standard for those who would have a chance of being regarded as slightly talented in the main family, thus, with Wan Long's talent, he was treated as a trash.

Due to his inferior talent, Wan Long decided to forgo his cultivation and trained his physical body everyday without fail by punching a tree with his bare fists at least a hundred times each day and afterwards, he would run along the mountainside for a round or two. Following this routine everyday, his skin became rougher than the adult men who labored in the fields. But, this had a benefit, as he had skin tougher than average people and it made his physical strength abnormally high for a teenager of 15 years of age.

Though his cultivation was on the low side, his physical strength was enough for him to escape from Rank 1 Demonic Monsters.

At this moment, Wan Long was done with his punches and proceeded to treat his wounds with some medicinal herbs that he picked from his daily runs to the mountainside. He did some basic stretches and began to run towards the side of the mountain, while keeping his guard up for any roaming Demonic Monsters.

As he ran further into the mountainside, he noticed that the sky was quickly getting darker. This was weird to him as he clearly saw that the sky was clear with white clouds just a moment ago, so why would the sky turn this dark this quickly?

As he was proceeding to a nearby naturally formed rock shelter, he saw a flash of orange light amidst the dark clouds. This orange flash of light quickly turned into a bright and overbearing sun that covered the sky.

A strange phenomenon was happening, and it was turning the sky bright orange.
