40 The birth of Ye Ling*

After Ye Ling's match, the tournament goes on and time quickly passed by and the first day of the tournament ended

The tournament will be held for a total of three days

16 matches were played in the first day, eliminating 16 disciples.

Surviving disciples will fight two times a day for the following 2 days of the tournament

(Second day - Quarter finals and Semi finals, Third day - Final, and third place decider)

As soon as the first day of the tournament ended, the audience, participants and the sect higher ups dispersed as they all returned to their own peak, well.. everyone except for a Ye Ling and his master

"Tell me.. how did you end up in this state?" The second peak master asked the person in front of him

"...." Ye Ling didn't respond as there were no life left on his eyes

"So you won't even tell me huh? Here take this and you will be cured, although you won't be able to cultivate anymore, at least you will be a normal person." The Second peak master tossed a pill to Ye Ling and disappeared from his place

Ye Ling didn't bother looking at the pill in front of him, as he left the stadium and went to a nearby cliff

Slowly walking to the end of the cliff, Ye Ling muttered "Sorry Father... Mother..."

Ye Ling then jumped the 200 feet cliff and fell to his death*

As Ye Ling took his last breath, a blue light a size of a bowling ball came in at multiple time the speed of light and went inside of his body

----------

"Where am I?" A voice came out of Ye Ling's body as if he was confused with the current situation he was in

Looking at his surrounding, the voice once again spoke "What the hell is this? Wasn't I supposed to be dead?"

"AHHHH" the voice screamed at the top of his lungs as foreign memories came flooding in his brain

tiktok.. tiktok..

After some time of tremendous pain, the screaming stopped and the expression of Ye Ling's* face calmed down as he spoke "so this body is named Ye Ling huh..."

The voice spoke "So I am now Ye Ling..."

The soul who invaded Ye Ling's body was a person named Ji.

Ji came from another world where immortals exist. From Ji's understanding, the current world where this Ye Ling* live is connected to the world he is from. However, the door to Immortality was blocked by a mysterious power and no one had reached the Immortal Realm ever since.

Looking at the memories of Ye Ling's body, Ji notice that his current condition is worse than a mortal human with no cultivation.

However, he did not have a dark expression as when he looked through the body's memories, he found out that Ye Ling awakened an incredibly powerful physique that even immortals will sought after - The Immortal devouring Physique

"If only you had known the true power of this physique.." Ji spoke as he thought that Ye Ling died because he did not know how the Immortal devouring physique work

"Now that I am you, I will fulfill your wish to destroy that ant Chu Xuan as well as his family" Ji Spoke as he stretched out his hand and a black hole like object appeared on his hand and absorbed the nearby herbs

Ding*

[Ye Ling* is now a protagonist]

'Show me the background of this protagonist'

[Name: Ye Ling {Ji}

Age: 13

Cultivation Realm: None

Background: Ji was once a very powerful general that commanded thousands of immortals and have lead and won many battles. In his last war, his locations was exposed by his comrades and he was besieged and ambushed by his many enemies and died in battle.

Story: His soul got transplanted into Ye Ling's body and he will use the powerful physique that Ye Ling has to make his way back to the top to take revenge against his comrades who plotted against him]

'System, what is this immortal? How come you never mentioned that there was a realm above the supreme realm?' Gu Chen spoke as he read the background of this new protagonist

[The host is not strong enough to know this information. The only thing that the system could inform the host is that there are no immortals in the current world, and the strongest person of this world is a half step immortal]

'I see.... then system, do you have any mission for the protagonist?' Gu Chen stopped questioning the system as he knew that the system won't tell him even if he argued

[The system unfortunately does not have any mission for the host now. As the new protagonist is still a mortal, he would be given enough time by Heaven to gain power first before the system could interfere]

'What the hell do you mean system? Did you make some sort of deal with heaven??' Gu Chen asked as he was confused with the system's answers

[The host is not qualified to know that information yet]

'Then when will I receive the mission?'

[The mission will be issued once the protagonist has enough time to regain some power]

'Alright...' Gu Chen closed his eyes as he continue cultivating in his manor

The second day of the tournament came and Gu Chen once again fought in the first match of the tournament

Gu Chen's second opponent was none other than Chu Xuan

Ye Xuan ring the bell and Gu Chen's second match soon started

Gu Chen launched a series of sword attacks towards Chu Xuan which the later dodged by using a movement technique

Chu Xuan then jumped in the air and raised his hand as he muttered "Chu Family sword technique - thousand sword dance"

Thousands of sword like aura appeared behind Chu Xuan and he pointed at Gu Chen

Like roaming missiles, the thousand sword auras locked into Gu Chen no matter how he dodged and moved

In the end, Gu Chen decided to stand still and deflected the sword aura one by one until all of them were destroyed

'slash' 'stab' 'slash' 'slice'

The audience were excited seeing how Gu Chen fought as his first match ended in an instant

'This is so annoying' Gu Chen thought as he was annoyed that he had to put on an act of fighting on equal grounds with Chu Xuan for so long. As in the eyes of the other people, both Gu Chen and Chu Xuan had similar cultivation realm

(Gu Chen- 2nd rank Goldnen Core, Chu Xuan - 1st rank Golden Core)

Destroying the last sword aura, Gu Chen dashed towards Chu Xuan and made a movement as if he was going to use the sword technique once again

Seeing that Chu Xuan dodged again, Gu Chen did a roundhouse kick towards Chu Xuan neck and sent him flying across the arena

"Ughh" Chu Xuan coughed up blood as he was sent flying by the kick of Gu Chen

Not letting Chu Xuan recover, Gu Chen launched a series of combination sword attacks and finally stepped on Chu Xuan's face and the later went unconscious

"THE WINNER IS LI CHEN FROM THE THIRD PEAK!" Ye Xuan yelled excitedly as he had turned into Gu Chen's fan eversince yesterday
