1 Jun Wu Xiao

Many billions of years ago, the primordial universe began to form and then took a long time to gradually become stable.

Starting from a simple and lifeless environment, gradually, with the advancement of chemical processes and biological evolution, life appeared.

From simple bacteria and viruses, multicellular and eukaryotic organisms emerged, bringing with them a variety of complex cellular structures and biological functions. Since then, the universe has increasingly become more and more interesting.

.....

Many billions of years later, on a certain planet also called Earth. However, it is not the Earth we know but can be considered a similar flower. There, humanity exists, and the civilization is quite similar to ours. But it's just quite, not exactly the same. At this time, it remains a normal planet, without cultivation or superpowers. Human life proceeds as usual.

In the year 1753, in a small town, a child as ordinary as any other was born. However, he was quite unlucky because his mother passed away from complications during his birth. His father, while happy at his birth, was also deeply saddened by the loss of his wife.

"Haiz, why did you leave me so soon? You even didn't have chance to see our son." he lamented.

After a while, he gathered his spirits, knowing he had a young child to raise and couldn't afford to wallow in his grief.

"What should I name him?" he wondered.

As he pondered a name for his child, he unconsciously uttered three words:

"Jun Wu Xiao."

Suddenly coming to, he thought:

"Why did I say that name? But it doesn't matter much, it doesn't sound too bad. Decided, from now on, your name is Jun Wu Xiao."

Jun Wu Xiao was raised by a nanny hired by his father, who often had to work on the battlefield. His father held a position in the military, not too high but not too low either, so his life was not too difficult.

He was raised like any other child, lucky enough to start schooling at an early age. He was born extremely intelligent, not to the point of learning one thing and understanding ten, but learning one and understanding three was still within his capability.

His father was overjoyed upon hearing this, hoping that in the future he could become learned and then a high-ranking official. At this time, Jun Wu Xiao also felt that becoming a high-ranking official was very good. His mind matured much faster than other children his age. He did not like playing with other children, so he didn't have any friends.

As time went on, he was now eleven years old. But at this time, he was completely different from the previous years. He had become like a madman, training his body from morning to night every day.

He practiced until his body couldn't take it anymore, then he would rest a bit before resuming his training. He dedicated nearly twelve hours a day to training, which amounted to half of his daily time.

People around him thought he had gone mad from studying too much. Some even mocked him for engaging in foolish activities. To them, studying to become an official was surely better than practicing pointless exercises.

But Jun Wu Xiao paid no mind to what others said. Since turning eleven, he trained every day, disregarding the words of those around him.

Why did he do this? This goes back to a time before, when he fell and scraped his leg after tripping over a rock. Looking at his wound, he remembered previous injuries he had sustained. He realized he was hurt by things in his surroundings that he saw every day. Objects that should have been harmless to him could injure him during unfortunate moments.

This realization deeply upset him. He was unhappy because he felt too weak, so weak that anything in the world could harm him. So, he began to train madly.

These activities might seem futile, as the exercises he practiced were just common physical training that people had known for many years. But why did he continue to train like this? To him, trying didn't necessarily mean he would achieve what he wanted, but doing nothing would certainly not get him anywhere.

Time passed, and he had been training for five years. His body had become much stronger, and his physical strength surpassed most of his peers. During these five years, his father had heard about his son's strange actions. He wanted to stop him but somehow forgot about it every time he planned to intervene.

"This is still not what I want. Although I've become much stronger, everything in the world can still harm me. It just requires more force to injure me now." Jun Wu Xiao sighed.

In these five years, he had tried incredibly hard, training nearly twelve hours every day without taking a single day off. Yet, he was still far from reaching his goal.

"It's only been five years. I have at least several decades left in my lifespan, and if after decades of effort I still see no results, it can only mean I was unlucky. Moreover, if I don't train, I feel incredibly uncomfortable, as if I've resigned myself to being weak forever." He regained his spirit and spoke.

He didn't hate the things that could harm him. The only thing he despised was his own weakness. Therefore, he wanted to become stronger.

His days consisted of eating, sleeping, and training. Since he started his training regimen, he has stopped studying. However, due to his intelligence from a young age, he had been sent to school early, so his knowledge was not lacking.

With the assets his father left behind and the money sent from the battlefield, he could afford to eat well for dozens of years without worry. 

Well, that's if the war doesn't spread to where he lives, otherwise food would be extremely valuable at that time.

Suddenly, at this moment, the ground began to shake, and the sky showed signs of unusual changes as if something had changed. But it all happened in a brief moment, and Jun Wu Xiao furrowed his brows.

This was the first time he had witnessed such a strange phenomenon, and he was quite curious. He didn't know what to call this occurrence.

"Ah, why should I care about it? Even if I did, I wouldn't know what it is. Instead of worrying about pointless things, isn't it better to train?" Jun Wu Xiao shook his head and said.

He continued his training, but today was different. The time he spent training unexpectedly increased by a few minutes to exactly twelve hours.

This difference might seem trivial to others, to the point of being unworthy of mention. However, for Jun Wu Xiao, it was significant. He had been training continuously for five years, pushing his body to its limits without wanting to injure himself foolishly by exceeding those limits.

But today is different, he suddenly trained a few minutes more, indicating that his body had recovered faster than before. He didn't see this as his own development but as something influenced by the environment.

"Could it be because of the strange phenomenon just now?" Jun Wu Xiao thought.

"Anyway, it doesn't matter. I'll just continue to train hard." he said and then focused back on his training.
