Chu Yang, the Ninth Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword, sacrificed almost everything he had for the sake of improving his martial arts, including the love of his life. After spending three years locating the fifth fragment of the Nine Tribulations Sword, he was ambushed by all sides at that very place. Mortally injured with no means of escape, Chu Yang executed a sacrificial technique by plunging the Nine Tribulations Sword into his very own heart. “With the blood of my heart, ten thousand tribulations will collapse!” After witnessing the death of all his ambushers, Chu Yang’s vision began to darken. At a distance, moments before his death, he saw the mastermind who had plotted his downfall — Mo Tian Ji. With that, his eyes finally closed. However, with a start, Chu Yang once again awoke to find that he had returned to when he was sixteen years of age! Furthermore, the Sword Spirit of the Nine Tribulations Sword now resided within his Dantian, the energy center of his body! From that very moment, Chu Yang would then begin to right all of his past regrets, and carve his very own legend by fulfilling his destiny as the final Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword, and defeating the Heavenly Devils beyond the realm of the Nine Heavens Continent.
Zi Xieqing gnashed her teeth as she said fiercely, "Yes, but the condition is that you have to be stronger than me! But Little Chu Yang, I think this wish of yours would probably become your lifelong dream, so where's the harm in agreeing to it?"
Chu Yang let out a sneaky laugh. "Deal!"
Zi Xieqing gritted her teeth. "But… if you don't become stronger than me, every time I see you, I'll beat you up!"
Chu Yang held his hands out nonchalantly. "Go ahead, it's not like I haven't been beaten up by you several times by now…"
Zi Xieqing harrumphed. "Chu Yang, what you've said tonight smacks of outrage of modesty! I don't want to hear such things from you again in the future!"
Chu Yang said lightly, "Don't worry, I won't say it ever again! I'll only bring it up again after I've become stronger than you!"
Zi Xieqing snorted lightly.
"A promise is a promise!"
"No going back on your word!"
