Chapter 1 – Arrival of the Dragon (2/2)

Day after day of exercising, Lei Yu used up quite a fortune to hire well-known martial artists for guidance. Day after day of blood and sweat, he kept on doing his daily exercises. After all of this, Lei Yu managed to forge a strong body and mind.

Eight years went by and Lei Yu had only seen his father a few times, but it was only a glimpse of his back or his shadow.

In that eight years, Lei Yu endured daily insults of being called “bastard”, “trash”, “waste of food”, but he continued to tolerate it in attempts to show everyone and prove to himself.

As Lei Yu was reading a book inside his room, Uncle Liu stood by the doorway and said: “Little Yu, you should really just leave this place, the master, he…”

“My father? What about him?” Lei Yu asked with a sudden bad feeling.

Gritting his teeth, Uncle Liu said: “The master has finally decided to make you leave this family. He said the family shouldn’t be raising useless people, so…”

Lei Yu swallowed hard, completely speechless. Looking at Lei Yu’s face, Uncle Liu sighed as he shook his head helplessly and left.

“Why? Why? Has father not seen the efforts I’ve put in these past few years? Why does he insist that I am useless? Is it really necessary to have the family brandin order to be part of the Lei family? Why?” Lei Yu forcefully shook his head. He refused to believe such a thing would happen to him today but unfortunately, this was an undeniable fact.

“Bastard! Why aren’t you leaving? What are you still here for?!”

While in agony, Lei Yu heard these insults being screamed outside the door. After hearing this, an ugly and disgusted expression appeared on his face. The person screaming was called Lei Yun, the grandson of one of the elder’s for the Lei family. Lei Yun also happen to be the successor for the position of elder. After the baptism, this Lei Yun who was slightly older would insult Lei Yu on a daily basis. There were even the occasional beatings by him.

With cold dead eyes, Lei Yu glared at Lei Yun and screamed: “F*ck off!”

Lei Yun was suddenly stunned. He didn’t think the family’s trash would dare to use those words at him; him, who was designated as the next successor of being an elder. Lei Yun waved behind him and up came several similarly aged young adults, each with an air of menace around them.

“Who the hell do you think you are? You dare to speak to me like that?!” Looking around the surrounding people, he tells them: “Drag him out here!”

Even though Lei Yu had practiced martial arts for a few years, being surrounded by these few people that had practiced the special martial arts of the Lei family, Lei Yu was unable to resist them. Being held down and dragged by several people, they dragged him to the edge of the cliff.

“What do you people want?” Screamed Lei Yu while struggling.

While at the edge of the cliff, they started beating up Lei Yu with their Lei family’s unique fire ability. Lei Yu was similar to a normal person so there’s no way he could bear with this abuse.

Raising his hand to block a heavy punch, Lei Yu then retaliated. Using strength from the base of his legs, then controlling the strength to his upper body, he threw out a punch hitting Lei Yun in the chin. A “crack” sound could be heard. Some blood started coming out of Lei Yun’s mouth and he then spit out a tooth.

Never before had Lei Yun suffered such punishment in his life, causing him to experience an extremely angry emotion. “Drop him off the cliff!”

“Uhhh…” The surrounding people looked at each other. They were able to suffer the punishment of fighting, but killing someone, they weren’t willing to bear that consequence. But Lei Yun was the next successor of being an elder so they couldn’t resist his commands either. Each one of the young adults did not know what to do.

Seeing the people hesitate, Lei Yun angrily shouted: “Push him off the cliff, I will take full responsibility!”

Lei Yu took a few steps back. Standing on the edge of a cliff, he narrowed his eyes and coldly glared at Lei Yun. Forced to these unbearable circumstances, despised by his family and rejected by his peers, Lei Yu became utterly crazy.

“Lei Yun, if I don’t die today, I will definitely come back for revenge! If I do die, my ghost will still come back to haunt you!” Lei Yu’s tone was full of resentment. After hearing this, the surrounding people felt the hairs of their body rising and a cold shiver run through their backs.

Lei Yu left these words to them, turned and jumped off the cliff. Even in death, he will die with dignity. Lei Yu will not beg for mercy. Knowing that he would either be beaten to death or pushed to his death, why not do it himself for a quick conclusion.

“You all saw that right? He jumped down by himself, it has nothing to do with us!” Lei Yun scratched his own chin: “F#cker, go die by yourself, why did I have to lose a tooth for this!”

The sky suddenly began to change as heavy dark clouds started gathering together. Within the dark clouds, streaks of lightning started flashing about. People who saw this thought it would rain soon and ran back home for shelter.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning appeared in the shape of a dragon, “Boom!” A loud noise like a dragon’s roar was heard. Lightning shot straight down towards the body of Lei Yu who was already floating in the river. At this point, it was unknown if he was dead or alive.
