1 Feng Yan

[UNEDITED]

"I am finally graduating from Preparatory School. It had been hard for me." Feng Yan said while standing in front of his full-body mirror.

As his name suggests, he's as striking as phoenix. Although he's only sixteen years old, this young man had an appearance that could bewitch anybody. It's so handsome to the point that even men would find him dangerously attractive.

His skin is snow-white, lips are pinkish and hair is silky white. His phoenix red eyes matches his sharp and thin eyebrows. Feng Yan's nose is tall and perfect in size.

His flawless appearance is chiseled and doesn't look chubby despite his young age. Even his jawline is sharp. His loose shirt exposed his defined clavicles, making his figure more provocative.

Feng Yan have this noble find of aura along with elegant demeanor. His face is outrageously tempting, the type that will make people commit evil. It's so unrealistic and devilish.

He's 183cm in height, taller than most of his age. Feng Yan, 's body is slim, with lean muscles and perfect proportions.

After wearing his uniform, he opened his phone and looked at the time. It's still early, he got some time left.

As usual, he wore his necklace, watch and shoes. These were the fruits of his labor, that's why uses them as much as he could.

Feng Yan opened a pack of instant noodles, divided it into two, and cooked the other half while saving the other for later. He just poured hot water into it.

This had became a habit. There was a time that he lived like this because poverty forced him to do so. Moreover, he doesn't have a large appetite.

He opened the television while eating his noodles. The news caught his attention. Last night, a spacial crack formed in a nearby city. Terans, creatutres from another dimension gushed out of this spacial crack and caused devastation. Thousands of people died, many injured and numerous infrastructures were destroyed.

Luckily, they managed to fights the terans until the spacial crack disappeared.

It's been centuries ago since the space became unstable. This resulted into numerous spacial cracks appearing in the planet. The creatures from other dimensions or planets that comes out of these cracks are called terans.

Unlike the demonic beasts of this world, terans have stronger defense and more destructive power. These creatures usually came from places with more terrifying environmental conditions compared to earth, causing them to have such tenacious bodies.

Humanity weren't that weak either. Every year, an awakening process would be held for the newly graduates from Preparatory School. This process will awaken the martial spirits in their bodies.

Martial spirits are mysterious creatures that allows a human to form spiritual sense. This spiritual sense would then be used to sense, absorb and cultivate qi from the surroundings. Martial cultivation allows humanity to escape its limitations. Experts who could flatten down mountains, dry the seas and annihilate countries exists thanks to martial cultivation.

These martial spirits come in different types. They are called Plant, Beast, Tool, Weapon, Food and Soul Type. After that, martial spirits are further divided into classifications namely Fighter, Support, Assault, Mage, Ranger, Tank and Control Class.

It is exactly these martial spirits and martial cultivation that changed numerous things in the world. After middle school, there will be a 3 year preparatory school and then followed by high school. Even the law had changes. It now states that a 16 years old is an adult.

Feng Yan closed the TV and went to brush his teeth. In this world, it's better to be strong. Otherwise, you'll be a prey to the strong.

The current him is still to weak to think of facing a cultivator. Not to mention, a teran.

Terans are for the Sentinel Association to prioritize. This association was founded just to specially deal with terans. At every city, there would be a local branch where Sentinels stay. Sentinels are cultivators who either have a special trait, skill, talent or authority that makes them more efficient in handling terans.

Feng Yan just brought a small shoulder bag with him where he kept his phone and other stuff. He's already graduating, why bother bringing a lot?

After that, he left his apartment. On the way, he saw his neighbor and her daughter. As far as he remembers, they are in the same grade level but not class. She's also graduating today.

"Congrats Feng Yan! You're now graduating!" The lady congratulated him. Next to her is her daughter who looks beautiful but not the stunning type.

"Same goes for your daughter Mrs. Jiang." He replied with a gentle smile and gaze.

The girl smiled. "You're going to school now? I'm also going now, let's go together?"

Feng Yan shook his head. "No thanks."

And after that, he bowed lightly and left the building. He doesn't want to be acquainted with the two. No— as much as possible, he doesn't want to be acquainted with anybody.

He's doing well in his own. Moreover, he doesn't like bothering people.

Seeing his figure disappear , the lady sighed. "It had been two years and he's still as aloof as when he got here."

Her daughter looked at the direction that Feng Yan went to and also sighed. "He's like that in school. It's been hard on him. I heard he's an orphan."

How could she not know Feng Yan? Feng Yan is their top student with a gentle personality that is different from his provocative charm. He's famous not only in the school but even in the city.

A lot of the girls likes him. But he's always aloof. Those tantalizingly eyes mostly has a distant feeling, matching his melancholic face. His expressions are really the opposite of his looks.

In addition to that, Feng Yan is a digital artist and streamer. He has more than 200,000 followers in weibo. He supported himself through commissions and sponsorship.

Feng Yan boarded a bus. However he won't go directly to the school. He first needs to drop off at his employer's house. He tutors a child at weekdays after his classes for extra money.

It didn't took him long after he saw the familiar luxurious villa in front of him.

He asked himself, "When will I be able to afford such house?"

The villa surely costs at least 2 million yuan. The worth of money in this era is very high. An average family earns only about 100 yuan a month.

After pressing the door bell, he waited for a few seconds until a beautiful woman opened it.

She's Chen Sanke, the mother of the child.

"Xiao Yan? Come inside quickly."

Feng Yan nodded and went in. "Auntie, Uncle messaged me last night and told me to come at this time. I wonder what he asked me for."

Chen Sanke stopped for a while to think. Not even a minute after, she waved her hand. "Forget it. Come and join us to a breakfast."

"Auntie, I've already eaten." Feng Yan refused.

She stared at Feng Yan straight into the eyes them pulled him into the dinning area. He could only scratch his head helplessly.

"You're here. Sit and let's talk while we eat." Chen Tianmin said as soon as he saw Feng Yan. He's already 40 years old be seems young and handsome.

"Good morning Big Brother Yan!" Greeted the child next to Chen Tianmin.

He is Chen Ming, the couple's only child. He's twelve years old this year. This kid is cute and charming, he'll surely grow into a handsome man.

He greeted him back and sat down. Since Chen Sanke had already served him food, it would be too rude for him to reject. Feng Yan started eating.

"First of all, congratulations on your graduation."

"Oh you've graduated! Congrats! I should've prepared a gift for you!" Chen Sanke exclaimed!

"No need Auntie." He smiled.

"The reason why I asked you to come is this." Chen Tianmin gave him a very small box. "Don't open that unless you have awakened your martial spirit. You're not allowed to refuse."

"Thank you Uncle." Feng Yan bowed his head.

Ever since he started tutoring Chen Ming, the couple had treated him well. They'll give him gifts occasionally and helped him do things. He's very grateful.

In this world, the couple are two of the few people that he trusts.

Considering Chen Tianmin's personality, he didn't bother refusing the gift.

"Big Brother, will you awaken your martial spirit soon?" Cheng Ming asked.

He nodded. He's not particularly excited for the awakening process. This event will further increase the gap between the rich and the poor, the strong and the weak and the talented and not.

"What do you want to awaken Big Brother?" Chen Ming wondered. Kids of his age are very attentive when it comes to martial spirits.

He simply smiled. "We can't choose Little Ming. It all depends on faith. As long as you have one, you should be thankful and don't be picky."

It is in fact, not unusual to have no martial spirit. There's a 70% possibility that you have a martial spirit.

Chen Ming smiled innocently and resumed eating.

After which, Chen Tianmim brought him to school.
