Chapter 1: Rebirth of the Crippled Young Master

Xiao Li awoke to searing pain coursing through his body. His breath was ragged, and his limbs felt heavy as if he had been beaten to the brink of death. As his vision cleared, memories surged into his mind like a raging river. Two sets of memories—one from a poor orphan on Earth, the other from a disgraced young master in another world—collided and merged.

His current identity belonged to Xiao Li, once a prodigy of the Xiao Family in Linfun City, Azure Kingdom. But three years ago, his own brother, Xiao Feng, had crippled his cultivation during a spar, shattering his spiritual root and turning him into a waste. From that moment on, the once-gifted young master had been reduced to a punching bag for his own clan.

Mockery, scorn, and humiliation became his daily routine. Servants kicked him like a dog, his father ignored his existence, and even the woman he was once betrothed to had publicly humiliated him before leaving with another man. It had been three years of suffering, and today should have been the end. The Xiao Family’s servants had beaten him to near death before tossing him into this cold, dark storeroom like discarded trash.

Just as despair threatened to consume him, a voice echoed inside his mind.

[Ding! Universal Prime System Activated.]

Xiao Li’s body stiffened. A translucent golden screen appeared before his eyes, displaying information about him.

[Host: Xiao Li]
[Cultivation: None (Crippled)]
[Bloodline: ???]
[System Features:]

• 1000x Cultivation Speed
• 1000x Comprehension
• 1000x Effect Amplifier

His breathing quickened as he read through the details. A thousand times faster cultivation? A thousand times comprehension? A thousand times the effect of everything on him? Even the most untalented person in the world could rise to the heavens with such power.

A new prompt appeared before him.

[Would you like to repair your dantian? Cost: 1 Prime Point.]

Xiao Li quickly checked his interface and saw that he had ten Prime Points available. There was no hesitation in his heart.

“Yes,” he said.

A surge of golden energy flooded his body, warm and powerful. The pain in his core vanished instantly, and he could feel his shattered dantian repairing itself. Then, another notification rang out.

[Ding! Host’s dantian has been repaired. Activating 1000x Cultivation Speed.]

Xiao Li barely had time to react before his body was engulfed in an overwhelming rush of energy. It felt as though he had been cultivating for years in an instant.

[Ding! Host has broken through to Qi Condensation Level 1.]
[Ding! Host has broken through to Qi Condensation Level 2.]
[Ding! Host has broken through to Qi Condensation Level 3.]

His eyes widened. Three levels in an instant. This was beyond comprehension. His body, which had once been weak and feeble, now thrummed with strength. He clenched his fists, feeling the raw power coursing through his veins.

For three years, he had suffered humiliation and torment, but today, everything changed. He was no longer the crippled young master of the Xiao Family. He was someone who would defy destiny itself.

A knock came from the door, followed by a sneering voice.

“Still not dead, huh?”

The storeroom door creaked open, and a young servant stepped in, dressed in the Xiao Family’s uniform. Xiao Yan. He was one of the many who had bullied Xiao Li relentlessly over the years.

“Trash like you should have died days ago,” Xiao Yan sneered. “Young Master Feng ordered me to—”

Xiao Li moved before he could finish speaking.

A sharp gust of wind cut through the air as he appeared in front of Xiao Yan in an instant. He struck out with his palm, his movements sharper and faster than ever before.

There was a sickening crack as Xiao Yan’s body flew backward, slamming into the stone wall with brutal force. The servant gasped, his ribs shattered.

Xiao Yan coughed up blood, his eyes wide with shock. “W-What?! You were crippled!”

Xiao Li stepped forward, his expression calm, yet there was a terrifying pressure in his gaze. “Does this look crippled to you?”

The servant trembled, his mind unable to process what had just happened. “Impossible! You—you were just a useless waste!”

Xiao Li grabbed him by the collar and lifted him off the ground effortlessly. “You enjoy bullying the weak, don’t you?” His voice was cold. “Then let me show you what true strength looks like.”

Xiao Yan whimpered. “S-Spare me, Young Master! I—I was just following orders!”

Xiao Li’s grip tightened. “And I am just taking back what was stolen from me.”

He flung Xiao Yan outside the storeroom. The servant landed with a heavy thud in the courtyard, groaning in agony.

The commotion drew the attention of several other servants and disciples passing by.

They gasped at the sight of the crippled young master standing tall, his aura stronger than ever.

“The crippled Xiao Li… defeated Xiao Yan in one move?”

“How is this possible?”

“Didn’t they say his dantian was shattered beyond repair?”

The whispers spread like wildfire throughout the Xiao Family estate. Within moments, the news reached the main hall.

Xiao Feng, the very brother who had once crippled Xiao Li, sat at the center of the room with a smirk. He listened to the reports with mild amusement.

“So the trash can actually fight now? Interesting.”@@novelbin@@

Around him, the family elders exchanged uneasy glances.

“If he continues growing at this rate, he might seek revenge,” one elder murmured.

Xiao Feng’s smirk widened. “Then let’s crush him before he gets the chance.”

Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Xiao Li stood firm. His fists were clenched, his eyes burning with determination. He knew that this was only the beginning.

If the Xiao Family thought they could suppress him again, they were in for a rude awakening.

He had just begun his journey, and the heavens themselves would tremble.

“If you think you can stop me,” Xiao Li whispered, his voice carrying a chilling promise.

“Then you’re all fools"
