Best novel online free at LatestNovel.Net or NovelTeam.Net

It was three days until Yan Zaizen twitched into consciousness, with dirt-filled coughs. His position was rather awkward, his head laying face first into the grassy dirt while his arms and legs were spread out at odd angles. His outline was reminiscent of a murdered victim shot violently in the back. As for himself? He felt like one.

”Wha…?” Yan Zaizen softly exclaimed as he got his bearings, sitting upright atop the grass with a little bit of struggle. Feeling the painful pulsing sensation in his forehead caused him to rub it vigorously. It wasn't long before it dawned on him as he placed his palm towards his face that he was alive. He was ALIVE!

He yelped in excitement.

”Haha, take that! Think you can take this tough life? Ha, look at yourself in the mirror to see if you're worthy.” Jumping up and giving the middle-finger to no one in particular, Yan Zaizen came to a realization that, besides being slightly dirty, he was relatively fine. Don't seem to make sense that he got hit by a meteorite from the sky and simply can walk it off. Was he immortal? He patted his body all over, not to just remove the dirt, but checking to see if he had any holes or if anything was missing. Checking his crotch first, he sighed in relief.

At least that wasn't harmed.

Wait.

He checked his legs. Upon doing so, he came to a realization that he had no broken bones. From his memories, that was incredibly vivid still, he was supporting his fleshy body with Qi due to the shattering of his leg bones from excessive force. However, that didn't seem to be the case. It gave him a feeling as if he just imagined the entire thing. It was slightly surreal.

Looking around, he found no evidence of a meteor hitting, as if it was all truly a part of his imagination. The situation kept getting weirder as he noticed a silver ring resting tightly upon his middle-finger. This ring seemed to fit him perfectly, with no discerning marks but just plain silver-band, as if it was always his. He traced it with his finger.

Nothing happened.

In his confusion, he couldn't help but check his body again for any other things he may have stolen in his sleep. I mean, not stolen but acquired with the luck of a finder. However, nothing else was there. Assuming that he wasn't going insane, then the meteorite existed. It targeted him. He broke his bones dashing for his little life and then was hit. In that case, perhaps...it wasn't a meteor? He looked at the silver-ring once more. He gazed intently at it.

Could it be...?

The ring was the meteorite. Was this some unearthly, heavenly, and supreme god-tier treasure? For it to descend upon the skies and chose him of all people. It chose him!

”You have extraordinary judgment meteor ring.” He nodded in approval like a teacher appraising his student for his good set of eyes. Meteor Ring? Yeah, he'll name it that. Seeing how that was all said and done, he continued to study the ring, and even tried to take it off his finger. He came to the realization that the ring was stuck like a mountain on the surface - it just won't budge.

He tried using his Qi to interact with the ring, but all it did was shine slightly with the resplendent light of his Qi. Then, he tried flicking it with his fingers. Then, bring it up to the sun and maybe it'll illuminate some secret. Then, talked to it like a lover in hopes it would say something in response.
