Plundering Memories and Techniques

Memories flooded Chu Yang's mind like a rushing river... From his infancy, Chu Yang's memories held nothing extraordinary—just the typical wailing of a common countryside child.

He was neither a prodigy with a photographic memory nor a person of exceptional physique. Everything seemed mundane and unremarkable.

However, everything changed in his fifth year.

Chu Yang could never forget that day.

It was the day that altered his destiny, the day he acquired 'it' and became the legendary genius spoken of by the venerable Old Demon Chu.

That day, the sky crackled with thunder, and the entire mountain trembled. While frolicking in the countryside, Chu Yang nearly tumbled off a cliff.

Following the commotion, he noticed a peculiar halo atop the mountain. Driven by curiosity, the young lad slowly ascended towards it despite the trembling earth.

A black boulder, ablaze with flames, descended from the heavens and crashed onto the mountaintop.
