Blue Star, China.

Corner of the teaching building of Xinhai No. 3 Middle School.

"Beat them! Beat them to death!"

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Ran instinctively tried to grab onto something.

How can you fight without a handy weapon?

Bang!Bang!Bang!

A sharp pain shot through my body.

Lin Ran then realized that he wasn't fighting at all, but rather that he was being ganged up on by one side.

He opened his eyes and saw several young faces.

A group of shady-looking young men with flamboyant hairstyles, earrings, and lip piercings were attacking him relentlessly.

Despite the pain, Lin Ran stretched out a hand: "Wait a minute!"

Seeing this, the group of energetic young men were taken aback.

One of the guys, with rainbow-colored hair, spoke up: "What? Do you have anything else to say?"

"Um... I was wondering if I could have a moment to process this?" Lin Ran said seriously, "I just transmigrated here and haven't gotten used to my new identity yet."

Rainbow Head looked confused: "Are you out of your mind from being beaten?"

A henchman chimed in, "Boss, he's playing a trick on you!"

Snapped!

Rainbow Hair casually slapped his underling: "Do you even have a brain? He's been beaten up like this and still dares to mess with me? Does he want to die?"

"But..." the younger brother said, feeling very aggrieved.

Snapped!

Rainbow Head slapped the underling on the head again: "But what? I'm the boss, you're the boss? I said he's been beaten senseless."

The henchman's mouth trembled for a long time before he finally managed to utter a few words: "Big Brother is right!"

At this moment, Lin Ran, having regained his senses, finally adapted to his new identity.

He was transported to a world where mutated creatures and awakened beings existed, becoming an orphan who was bullied by others.

Two hundred years ago, a great catastrophe occurred on Earth.

Since then, the world has begun to recover its spiritual energy, various secret realms have sprung up, and mutated creatures have run rampant, constantly threatening the human living environment.

Correspondingly, awakened individuals have also emerged among humanity.

They can fly and move freely, and manipulate various elements, making them the main force in humanity's fight against mutated creatures.

After the cataclysm, humans generally awaken between the ages of fifteen and eighteen.

If someone hasn't successfully awakened by the age of eighteen, the probability of awakening later is close to zero.

Lin Ran is eighteen years old this year and has never awakened. Coupled with his status as an orphan, he naturally became a target for everyone to bully.

But that was before; he's different now.

This morning, Lin Ran spent a whopping 500 yuan at the Shanghai antique market to buy a small bronze tripod.

He had just stepped out of the antique street, dreaming of becoming rich overnight and reaching the pinnacle of life, when he looked up and saw a little girl in a pink princess dress rushing onto the road.

Not far away, a heavy truck sped by.

His body reacted before his brain could, rushing forward instantly.

The little girl, who was stunned in place, was pushed aside by him, while he himself flew up.

That's what they call hitting the jackpot.

When he woke up again, he was in this world, a beautiful young man who was beaten up every day.

At this moment, the small bronze cauldron was floating in his mind.

Just as he was being beaten, a cultivation technique appeared on the bronze cauldron.

"The Myriad Treasures Spirit Forging Technique" is a heaven-defying cultivation method that allows people without spiritual roots to embark on the path to immortality.

Moreover, this technique not only points directly to the Great Dao, but also includes many magical arts.

It includes techniques such as Breath Concealment, Mind Tranquility, Dust Avoidance, Wind Control, Invisibility, Heavenly Eye, Five Elements Techniques, Five Thunder Orthodox Method, and Pot Heaven Technique.

The simplest techniques, such as the Breath Concealment Technique, the Mind Tranquility Technique, and the Dust Avoidance Technique, can be used once one reaches the first level of Qi Refining.

Some basic Five Elements techniques require three levels of Qi Refining before they can be used.

Even more fortunately, the spiritual energy emanating from the bronze cauldron seemed to be continuously repairing his injuries.

He could feel his body rapidly becoming stronger.

"I really hit the jackpot!" Lin Ran said with a hint of excitement.

After disciplining his underlings, Rainbow Head turned to Lin Ran again: "Kid, what else do you have to say?"

"I have a question. What is the point of you deliberately targeting an orphan like me? Or is it...?"

Lin Ran looked at the girl with the rainbow hair: "Did someone instruct you to target me?"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of panic crossed the rainbow-haired man's eyes, which quickly turned to anger: "What nonsense are you talking about? Looks like you haven't had enough! Keep hitting me!"

Several henchmen surrounded Lin Ran and attacked him again.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Another round of punches and kicks ensued.

However, this time, the ones lying on the ground were a few energetic young men.

Although Lin Ran has not yet started cultivating, his body has already been adjusted to the optimal state of an ordinary person.

He can take on ten people now!

"You... how is this possible?" The rainbow-haired man looked terrified.

"Nothing is impossible." Lin Ran stepped forward and grabbed the rainbow-haired man's collar. "Can you tell the truth now?"

A conflicted look flashed in the rainbow-haired girl's eyes, but she ultimately chose to deny it: "I don't understand what you mean. The reason I want to deal with you is simply because I don't like the look of you."

"Such a powerful reason, I can't even refute it." Lin Ran nodded: "Then now I don't like you either."

After saying that, Lin Ran punched and kicked Rainbow Head.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Rainbow Head lay on the ground, hands covering his head: "Don't hit my face!"

Soon, several security guards arrived.

"What are you doing? Stop it!"

Lin Ran glanced back and frowned slightly.

These security guards didn't come earlier or later, but they just happened to come when I was beating someone up. Isn't this deliberately targeting me?

"They attacked first, so my actions were in self-defense."

Lin Ran took two steps back, revealing an innocent expression.

"Whether it was self-defense or not, we'll discuss that in the security room."

Several security guards came up and tried to arrest Lin Ran, clearly showing favoritism towards these young men.

"Things are getting more and more interesting." Lin Ran's lips curled up slightly.

The person behind this can not only control these thugs, but also the school's security guards, so their identity seems to be quite complicated.

Lin Ran dodged the security guard's attempt to grab him and casually said, "I can walk by myself."

After saying that, he walked straight toward the security room.

Xinhai No. 3 Middle School is an ordinary high school located in a world of advanced martial arts.

The school offers liberal arts classes and martial arts classes. If an ordinary student awakens a talent, they can transfer to the martial arts class.

The group of energetic young men, along with Lin Ran, were all students in regular classes. At eighteen, they hadn't yet awakened to their potential, and their future seemed bleak.

Lin Ran studied at this high school for three years and was bullied by them for two and a half years.

If Lin Ran hadn't transmigrated from the present, he might still be bullied by them.

Of course, it's also possible that it won't be able to continue, because the original owner might have already been killed before Lin Ran transmigrated here.

In this world of advanced martial arts, weakness is the original sin.

"Why are you fighting?" The security captain scrutinized Lin Ran.

"I didn't fight. They hit me first. I felt like I was about to be beaten to death, so I was forced to fight back," Lin Ran said firmly. "This should be considered self-defense."

"What a load of rubbish about self-defense!" The security captain scoffed. "I only saw you hitting them, I didn't see them hitting you."

Lin Ran pointed to his injuries: "They didn't hit me, so where did all these injuries come from? I couldn't have gotten them from falling down myself, could I?"

Bang!

The security captain slammed his hand on the table: "You dare talk back! Which class are you in?"

"What? Can't I even speak?" Lin Ran narrowed his eyes slightly. "Also, stop pretending. You know who I am and which class I'm in."

Upon hearing this, the security captain's pupils suddenly contracted, but he forced a calm expression: "Don't try to play dumb with me. You got into a fight at school today, and I will definitely tell your homeroom teacher to discipline you!"

"Hehe...a punishment? I'm so scared!" Lin Ran replied dismissively.

He has now obtained the cultivation technique, and he wouldn't even blink if he were asked to drop out of school.

What's your attitude?

The security captain was furious and about to say something when the door to the security room was pushed open, and a kind-looking middle-aged man walked in.

Lin Ran's homeroom teacher is Zhao Dahai.

He was followed by a man and a woman, dressed in luxurious clothes and exuding an extraordinary air.

"You're Lin Ran, right?" the woman asked, slightly agitated.

Lin Ran looked puzzled: "Who are you?"

"Ran'er, I am your biological mother!" The woman looked at Lin Ran's injuries and made a move to grab his hand: "You have suffered all these years."

Lin Ran subconsciously took a half step back: "Excuse me, ma'am, we're not acquainted. So please don't address me like that, it makes me feel very uncomfortable."

Upon seeing this, the security captain immediately broke out in a fine sweat.

The other young men standing nearby also looked terrified, as if they had witnessed something horrifying.

Because the couple in front of them were none other than Lin Hongbo, the richest man in Xinhai City, and his wife Song Yishu.

Their photos frequently appear in various news articles, and they are almost universally known in Shinkai.

If Lin Ran is the couple's long-lost son, then their previous actions...

Thinking of this, the security captain's legs began to tremble.

"It's over! It's all over!" Rainbow Head silently lit a candle for himself in his heart.
