11 A Complete Transformation (1/2)

Jun Xie was an ace assassin in his past life. He knew the world and its innumerable hardships. Therefore, he easily understood the thoughts of the little girl who stood in front of him. He moaned as he pondered over the disappointing state of the first owner of this body; he was so useless that even his young servant was scared of him. He sighed and said, ”Your work here is done… You can go now.”

Little Ke bowed to him and left the room. She thought, [You’ll not be able to harm me as long as I stay away from you. Moreover, you’ll not be able to catch me with your weak body.]

Jun Xie went to the window and took a deep breath. He then willed his Qi in order to check the current state of his body.

Jun Xie had observed a change in himself from the moment he had woken up. However, he hadn’t had the time to make a thorough analysis of the situation. So, he was surprised to notice the changes in himself. He noticed that he could see at a much farther distance than before. In fact, he could even see what was happening at a distance of thirty feet. He could even count the number of the legs of the tiny insect crawling on the floor. The entire world had transformed in front of his eyes. He saw the trees and grass as lush green and full of vitality.

Jun Xie didn’t feel a sting in his eyes as he raised his head to look at the sun for a prolonged period of time. The sun felt to him like a ball of warmth; nothing more.

Jun Xie noticed that there was also an improvement in his hearing abilities. Now, he could hear even the faintest sounds made by the bugs rushing about in the grass and the earthworms wriggling on the ground. He had truly started to see the beauty of the world. The world had become alluring to him all of a sudden.

Jun Xie had only had such a feeling in his past life when his cultivation in internal arts had broken through into the pre-celestial stage. Still, it hadn’t enveloped his entire body. Jun Xie was a transcendent born from Heaven and earth. He felt elated, [Can it be possible that I’ve attained the pre-celestial stage with only a night’s practice? Isn’t it too fast?] However, he was disappointed to see the flow of Qi within his body.

The flow of Qi within his body had become lucid. However, it was still weak. Such a Qi could only be used to cut vegetables; it certainly couldn’t be used in real fights. His Qi wouldn’t have been so weak if he had stepped into the pre-celestial stage.

How could his body perform at such ‘high-specs’ if he hadn’t stepped into the pre-celestial stage…? Jun Xie guessed that it could’ve happened owing to the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune. His spirits were lifted as this thought crossed his mind.

Jun Xie felt stunned as he rolled-up his sleeves. Could his body be considered as that of a man’s? He had delicate snow-white arms with a tinge of pink. His arms could put a woman to shame. His heart fell apart as he saw himself in the bronze mirror. His facial features looked the same. However, his face had become tenderer than before. Jun Xie loathed these kind of faces. It was the face of a flowery boy. It belonged to a flowery boy with a milky-white skin and frail-looking body.

Jun Xie felt as if he had seen a ghost. He laughed and muttered, [When I came into this world… my situation was similar to a person who had seen a ghost. I’ll not be surprised if something even stranger happens…]

He had a session of the Pulp Rending Meridian Cleanser the previous night. In fact, he might even have opened a slight gap in the ‘doors’ of the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune. Then, how could his body be so feeble?

Jun Xie re-examined his body with these factors in mind. He was surprised to notice that his muscles and flesh had reorganized to become denser and tougher; even though his exterior looked frail. Even the structure of his body in his past life looked less powerful than its present state. The quality of his body – including the skeleton frames and meridians – had reached an extremely high stage. His present body could be described as blessed; it seemed to be the best body to practice martial arts.

No one could guess that the owner of this seemingly frail body could be an ace assassin. So, it was a natural camouflage for Jun Xie.

Jun Xie started to feel even more passionate towards his training as these thoughts crossed his mind. He felt a desire to regain his original strength as fast as possible.
