"Dong!"
The ancient bell tolls from the vast horizon, with the golden sun falling off the edge of the sky, forming a thin line of twilight. The dusk, much like an aged man at twilight years, slowly shuts its eyes.
Dragonflame Continent, within the Red Dragon City!
"Is it true? The 'useless' young master has been beaten to death and brought here?"
"A banqueted young master, who dared to provoke the peak of Juyan realm, thought he was still the aloof young master of the past? He deserved to die."
"He was nothing but a waste. It's better that he's dead. It's about time that the young master of the Bai family was replaced!"
Outside the window of the courtyard in House Bai, numerous people peered into the room. There was no sympathy on their faces; all they had were cold mockery and disdain, and even hatred.
Upon the bed, Bai Mu slowly opened his eyes, shooting an icy glance out the window. These people were talking about him.
With his smooth, slightly knitted brows, below his solemn sword-like eyebrows flashed an ounce of confusion. "Wasn't I hunting for spiritual snakes in the Kunlun realm? How did I end up in this unfamiliar place?"
His thoughts were put aside as countless pieces of information surged deep from his mind. It was in the next moment that he understood--he had experienced a soul transmigration, and had crossed into the body of a boy of the same name.
Bai Mu's original earthly hometown was called Earth, where he studied alchemy in Mount Kunlun since childhood. At the mere age of twenty, he was already hailed as an alchemy prodigy.
This time, he was sent by his sect to the Kunlun Void to capture spirit snakes for alchemy. In the midst of the Kunlun Void, he encountered an odd leech. The leech not just had teeth but was also venomous, and he was accidentally bitten and poisoned.
When he woke up again, he found himself inexplicably transmigrated.
Looking at his pale and fragile hands, he sighed helplessly. "Other people transmigrate into all sorts of amazing characters. As an alchemy prodigy, why did I transmigrate into a wastrel, and on top of that, one that was just beaten to death?"
The owner of this body before he arrived was famously known as the waster of Red Dragon City. At twelve, like other disciples, he started to study the dragon flame power. However, even after three years, there was still no reaction within his body.
Without the Strength of Dragon Flame, you’re nothing but trash in this continent, not to mention the coveted Dragon Flame itself!
Dragon Flame Continent honors strength above all, with the Power of Dragon Flame acting as the source of power, capable of condensing a highly intense Dragon Flame.
Dragon Flames also come in nine colors: Cyan, Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, Black, Gold, White, Purple. The higher the color grade, the stronger the destructive force.
Today, Bai Mu had a conflict with someone and ended up beaten to death, which gave him a chance to reincarnate in another world.
“Who says you’re trash? Am I not your Dragon Flame Soul right now?” A slightly displeased voice suddenly echoed from within Bai Mu’s heart.
“Who's speaking?” Bai Mu was startled and promptly turned his attention to his dantian.
Within his dantian, a loach lazily swimming around, this loach was entirely white and didn’t look ordinary at all!
Bai Mu was shocked. This loach was the creature that bit him earlier and mysterious became the soul of his Dragon Flame.
A glint of surprise flashed in his eyes. People with Dragon Flames were numerous in the Dragon Flame Continent, but people with a Dragon Flame Soul were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
And those who possess a Dragon Flame Soul would undeniably become Saints in the end.
With a thought, a tremendous surge of Dragon Flame Energy erupted from within him, instantly filling his whole body and bringing him to a new height.
His mental spirit slightly receded, Bai Mu was filled with mixed emotions. Others had dragon-shaped Dragon Flame Souls, while his was a loach. This weird transmigration was really speechless.
"Creak."
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a man in black entered.
"Trash, you haven’t died yet?" The man in black looked at Bai Mu lying on the bed with a surprised look in his eyes, then it was immediately replaced by disgust and coldness.
Bai Mu slightly lifts his head, his dark as ink eyes fixed on the man. The eyes beneath his sword-like eyebrows turn cold, like a surprised creature hiding in the night, inadvertently revealing its sternness.
This man is Bai Se, who usually follows him around. Today, Bai Se got into a fight with someone else and disappeared suddenly, which ended up in him getting killed!
"You useless piece of trash. I didn't think you were so hard to kill." Seeing the coldness of Bai Mu, Bai Se's voice grows louder, seemingly wanting to trample Bai Mu under his feet.
Once, Bai Se was one of the guardians of this external courtyard. But now, he has been assigned by the family to protect someone useless. When Bai Mu still held the status of a young master, Bai Se felt a bit of restraint, but now that Bai Mu is nothing, he acts without any restrictions.
"Who are you calling a useless piece of trash!" Bai Mu stands up from the bed, his voice tinged with a hint of coldness.
The previous owner of his body hadn't been able to cultivate the power of Dragon Flame and was rightfully deemed useless. However, he is universally revered as a peerless genius. How can he let a servant insult him without consequences?
Bai Se remains fearless, gripping the front of Bai Mu's clothes, his tone wanton and wild, "I am calling you a useless piece of trash!"
"Bang!"
As his words fall, a muffled sound resonates and Bai Se's figure is instantly sent flying out of the door.
There are quite a few people gathered outside the door at this time, and the sudden turn of events shocks them.
The crowd instinctively looks towards the door, and notices Bai Mu with a cold face slowly walking out. The pupils of everyone shrink, the first reaction in their minds, "The useless young master is still alive?"
When the crowd's gaze falls on Bai Se, who is on the ground, their hearts tighten further. Their next reaction is, "Was this done by the young man before our eyes?"
Bai Mu is also quite surprised, "Ever since the mudfish became a Dragon Flame Spirit, not only has he inspired the Dragon Flame power within his body, but he has also advanced to the latter stage of the initial spirit realm, and he seems to be inching towards the peak."
"He who insults others, continues to do so." Hands behind his back, Bai Mu looks coldly at Bai Se on the ground.
Bai Se’s face becomes distorted with rage— him, once being one of the guardians here, is recognized by most. Now being mocked by a 'useless' person in front of everyone, he's already seething with anger.
"Little rascal, do you, a piece of trash even dare to lay your hands on me? Have you grown tired of living?” Bai Se stood up from the ground, his eyes covered in malice.
Facing the distorted expression of Bai Se, a streak of killing intent flashed in Bai Mu's eyes. Despite being the young master of the Bai family, he was neglected by his family due to being 'trash'.
Now, even a mere servant under his protection dared to trample on his dignity.
"By hitting you, I am reminding you of your status, servants will always be servants, just like dogs will always be dogs, they never become tigers," Bai Mu's eyes were exceptionally cold as he step by step approached Bai Se.
Seeing the iciness in the young man's eyes, Bai Se couldn't help but shiver, a thought arose in his mind: "Could he have obtained the Dragon Flame Power?"
Bai Se shook his head, he couldn't believe that a piece of trash could suddenly awaken the Dragon Flame Power. To hide his inner satisfaction, he yelled: "You are only a piece of trash without any Dragon Flame Power, already having lost the qualifications to be my master."
Bai Se spread his hand, a streak of blue dragon flame emerged, the blue dragon flame was faintly giving off an extremely high temperature and destructive power.
"Blue Dragon Flame?" The chill in Bai Mu eyes deepened, but there wasn't any hint of satisfaction between his brows.
"Tsk tsk, Bai Se is truly talented, he even cultivated the Blue Dragon Flame."
"Heh heh, the showtime has started. If this trash isn't beaten to death by others, it seems like he will be beaten to death by Bai Se!"
Surrounding disciples whispered satirical comments, Bai Mu was expected to be badly beaten even if he wasn't killed.
Supported by the crowd, Bai Se's mouth had a slight upward curve, he stomped his foot, punching toward Bai Mu with his blue Dragon Flame-enveloped fist.
The fist enveloped by the Blue Dragon Flame was fast, filled with unstoppable force.
However, at this moment, Bai Mu's face turned livid, his hands turned fists from palms that were kept behind his back, punching forward with an even more violent force.
"Scram!"
In the cold voice, a hint of killing intent exuded, emanating from Bai Mu's mouth. The voice was like a sharp sword, piercing through Bai Se's chest.
Dragon flame power surged on Bai Mu's fist, but no colored dragon flame was visible. Instead, a mudfish emerged. As the mudfish opened its mouth, it instantly swallowed the green dragon flame on Bai Se's fist.
Under the overwhelming force, Bai Se's arm was slightly bent and his figure was instantly thrown back, landing on the ground spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, making his face instantly pale.
Just now, if Bai Se was kicked out of the room by Bai Mu, he thought it was by accident. But this time, being knocked away in front of everyone was definitely not an accident.
The aura on Bai Mu became extraordinarily aggressive. Some disciples opened their eyes wide and exclaimed, "Early Spirit Realm, he's actually in the late Early Spirit Realm!"
Bai Mu remained silent. He stepped towards Bai Se, his tone icy, "Listen carefully, I am not a waste!"
"Is being in the late Early Spirit Realm that much to brag about?" Suddenly, a mocking voice came from the back of the crowd.
