Chapter two

Nian closed his eyes, the realization sinking in, he had won the tournament for the third time, an hat-tri, it proved it, he was the best martial artist in the continent, he could not wish for more, it was all he wanted, to rise above them to stand at the peak, this feeling was surreal but he loved it anyways, he had made himself proud; he had made his coach proud. The award was on its way.

*

The door creaked open.

" coach sir, you called for me" Nian said as he entered his coach room.

His coach gestured for him to sit.

"it has hit the headlines today" his coach said, expressionless, his eyes fixed on a newspaper.

" it was not by my might, I was only in such position because of coach sir" Nian said as he kowtowed.

"not bad, at least you are grateful" his coach said as he rubbed his bread, still expressionless and not meeting Nian's eyes.

"of course I would forever be grateful to coach sir" Nian said and immediately his face brightened " you said you would tell me something important today..... about my background".

" ah that's true, this old man's memory is  not getting any better, and by the way it's a long story".

" I have time sir" Nian answered.

" very well"  coach sir said and took a deep breath as if trying to bring back memories from ages past; it didn't feel comfortable as it was taking moments.

Finally after what felt like forever, he started

" in another universe, another world, where the strong talks and the obeys, a world where everyone is strictly ranked, a world where the only strength rules, where everyone strives and struggles to be stronger than at least being bullied, where martial arts is ten times deeper than what you can ever imagine"

" such a world is called Thousand chaos world, with approximately a thousand continents; all the continents follow this one rule of strength, one in particular is called Huan Ying continent; this is where you hail from"

"in this continent, every sect,

academy,

clan,

family,

association

whatsoever is ruled by strength and strictly ranked too. We have super, first class, second class, third class and low class, even in each class they are also numbered accordingly too"

The Han Family from the Heavenly Dragon clan,

is where you hail from, a super class family, ranked third if not second before we left, it was a family filled with anything better than geniuses it was sometimes called The terrifying monsters family, and whose patriarch was certainly stronger than the the emperor himself, this title; the family held it for countless millenniums, at least until we left sixteen years ago"

This time coach sir sighed, Nian could see the grief in his face and he could tell that the next few things the would say wouldn't be nice at all.

" sixteen years ago you were born, the fourth son of the Han family's fifth elder, a talent that rivaled all others, a talent not anyone even in the family could meet up to, that was you, it caused so much ruckus in the whole continent that  everyone envied, it was known that you would bring great change in the whole Huan Ying continent; whether good or bad no one knew"

" This disturbed the Abyss of darkness clan; a very powerful clan that had many  evil sects, gangs and many others under them, they resolved to snatch you any either kill you or make you theirs, although this plan was discussed in their most secret board meeting, but the Han family with their undeniable strong sources; came to find out, and with the least time to spare prepared, they sent messages to other strong sects and associations to come to their aid but unfortunately none believed, although they knew the Han family to be a trustworthy and held highed family but everyone sought for power and as a result no one could still be trusted, instead they thought the Han family was  found it as an opportunity to form an alliance with them, rule them and become stronger"

"despite this, the Han family didn't relent and prepared for the worst, everyone staked their life for you, the Abyss of darkness clan really came, they sent their most powerful force, the sheol palace, their hall dispatch a great deal of fighters, clearly they had not underestimated the Han Family, the war started, clearly they had sent a force that could wipe out any other family, in fact clan or even sect  but ironically not  the Han family, reverse was the case instead, the sheol palace was entirely wiped out without too few survivers, the Han family really met up to it's reputation, reinforcement really came from other factions but they were too late, the Han family had won the battle before reinforcement was even rallied, but definitely the Han family paid dearly for it, they suffered too many losses"

"during the fight my twin and I covered  for you, we disguised, he pretended to be the one with while I was; giving me enough time to escape, with my whole true qi I tore through time and space bringing me as far as I could, while I was crossing over to this world I heard my brother burn his vital energy to communicate to me, he said 'when that brat grows, tell him to come and pay tribute to me at Brookdale lake, the second forest of the nine jungles, soaring cloud pavilion'. "

"due to extremely little qi energy in this world, I was unable to teach you martial  cultivation so I taught you basic martial arts in it's stead so if you really think that you have won this tournament and you are a rare talent now then I'm sorry when you get to that world you would be disappointed, to think that this world could only be limited to the most basic martial arts is really disappointing too" coach sighed

Nian was overwhelmed, his expression changing from confusion, to fear, to awe, to anxiety and back to confusion again, he didn't seem to understand anything now as he tried to comprehend it all, it was very strange but Nian could not help but feel it was the truth, he was shocked to know a battle was fought for him, that his birth almost brought the downfall of his family, was he even human at all, was he to bring such doom to his family,he was elated to know he came for a very strong family; one that held martial arts with high respect yet his heart pounded to imagine his birth alone almost brought it's downfall, his heart pounded even more as the tried to comprehend every other sentence in the story, his head spun wildly as he took it all in, he swallowed hard for the millionth time as he realized how many lives were lost in exchange of his, he was sure coach was done with the story behind his background now, he knew without asking the ulterior motive his coach had in telling him this story, he would go to that world and prove himself to be an extremely rare genius that he was.

"are you thinking what I'm thinking?"coach said, jolting Nian from his thoughts.

" yes but coach sir how would I cross back to the other world"

" leave that to me, but my expectations for you are quite high, promise to meet up to them" coach said

"i promise sir, I will work very hard, I was cross a sea of fire and scale a wall of throngs to meet your expectations sir" Nian answered.
