Framed right from the start of Chapter 1? A Tier 5 magical beast!
Monster Mountain Range.
Xiao Chen stood in a dense forest in the Monster Mountain Range, and it took him quite a while to accept the fact that he had transmigrated.
Yes, that's right, he transmigrated to the world of Battle Through the Heavens.
He became Xiao Chen, the grandson of the Xiao family's eldest elder.
Three years ago, his strength increased to nine-star Dou Zhe, shocking the entire Xiao family.
At that time, he was the most outstanding genius among the younger generation of the Xiao family.
But unexpectedly, three years later... his strength had plummeted to the third level of Dou Qi.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen's face was filled with speechlessness.
What a disastrous start!
He sighed inwardly.
Three stages of fighting spirit.
With this level of strength, any first-tier magical beast in the Monster Mountain Range could easily kill him.
Xiao Chen raised his head and glanced at his surroundings.
Deep in the dense forest, the trees blocked out the sun, making the light dim.
He tried hard to recall why he had ended up in the Monster Mountain Range.
The original owner's memories surfaced in Xiao Chen's mind.
Xiao Ning.
His cousin was also the grandson of the eldest elder of the Xiao family.
Xiao Ning had been jealous of him ever since the original owner was a genius.
Even after Xiao Chen's strength declined, he did not lose his jealousy towards him.
Even though Xiao Chen became a cripple, the Grand Elder's affection for him did not diminish.
Xiao Ning was even more dissatisfied with this.
Xiao Ning pretended to invite him to the Monster Mountain Range to search for medicinal herbs.
The original owner believed it.
As a result, Xiao Ning led him deep into this dense forest, and then made an excuse to leave.
He was left here alone.
This area is the territory of a fifth-tier magical beast.
After figuring out the situation, Xiao Chen cursed inwardly.
Fifth-tier magical beast.
Let alone his current strength of three-stage Dou Qi, even if he were a nine-star Dou Zhe three years ago, he would die if he came here.
That was a powerhouse who could be considered a Battle King.
Damn it, I just transmigrated here and I'm already going to be killed by a fifth-tier magical beast?
Just as Xiao Chen was preparing to find a way to leave, he heard a deep roar from afar.
Xiao Chen's expression changed.
He turned his head and saw a huge creature slowly emerging from the depths of the dense forest.
The monster was enormous, covered in black scales, and its scarlet eyes were staring at him.
A fifth-tier magical beast, the Black-Scaled Python.
They approached him step by step.
Xiao Chen took a step back and realized that he had nowhere to retreat.
The black-scaled python opened its blood-red maw and pounced on him.
"Holy crap, I'm going to die right after transmigrating?"
Just then, a voice suddenly rang in Xiao Chen's mind.
[Daily copy system successfully bound.]
[The host may perform one copy per day.]
[First-time binding, copy today?]
[Copy now?]
Xiao Chen was stunned when he saw the system panel in front of him, and then a surge of joy welled up in his heart.
The system is here!
In this life-or-death crisis.
They came at just the right time!!
Use it now.
Xiao Chen thought to himself.
[Target copied: Yunyun.]
Random copy successful.
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the strength of a three-star Dou Huang in the Cloud Realm.]
The moment the system notification sounded, Xiao Chen felt a powerful force surge out from within his body.
As Xiao Chen felt the power within his body, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
The black-scaled python's gaping maw was already right in front of them.
Xiao Chen raised his hand and waved it casually.
A powerful burst of battle aura erupted from his palm and blasted towards the black-scaled python.
boom!
A surge of battle qi slammed into the head of the black-scaled python, sending its massive body flying backward.
The black-scaled python crashed to the ground with a dull thud.
The black-scaled python twitched twice and then stopped moving.
A fifth-tier magical beast, killed in one strike!
Xiao Chen looked at the corpse of the black-scaled python and moved his palms.
The power of a Dou Huang level expert is indeed formidable.
He sighed inwardly.
Xiao Chen walked to the corpse of the black-scaled python, took out a dagger, and stabbed it into the python's head.
He picked out a black magic core the size of a fist.
The magic core of a fifth-tier magical beast can be sold for a considerable amount of gold coins, making it quite valuable.
Xiao Chen carefully put away the demon core and then turned and walked out of the dense forest.
……
The Xiao family.
The eldest elder of the Xiao family sat in the main seat of the hall, his expression calm.
Several elders of the Xiao family sat to his left and right, discussing family affairs.
Xiao Ning walked in from outside.
"Grandpa, something's happened," Xiao Ning said.
His voice carried a hint of panic.
The Grand Elder frowned. "What is it?"
"Xiao Chen...he..." Xiao Ning stammered.
"What's wrong with Xiao Chen?" The First Elder stood up, his expression changing.
"We encountered a monster attack in the Monster Mountain Range, and Xiao Chen... couldn't escape," Xiao Ning said.
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's expression instantly turned ugly.
He took a step back and slumped into the chair.
"What did you say?" The elder's voice trembled.
"Based on this timeline, Xiao Chen is very likely already dead in the Monster Mountain Range," Xiao Ning said.
Upon hearing this, the elders in the hall exchanged bewildered glances.
"What happened? Who sent him to the Monster Mountain Range?" the Second Elder asked.
"It's my fault." Xiao Ning lowered her head. "Xiao Chen said he wanted to go out and train, so I went with him. I didn't expect to encounter magical beasts, and I failed to protect him."
When Xiao Ning said this, her eyes were red, and she looked like she was really blaming herself.
The elder did not speak, but simply sat there without uttering a word.
"Elder, please accept my condolences," the Third Elder said.
"I'll send people to search." The Second Elder stood up. "Even if it's just a corpse, we have to find it."
Just as the Second Elder was about to leave, a disciple of the Xiao family suddenly ran in from outside.
"Elder! Young Master Xiao Chen is back!"
The disciple was panting heavily from running.
Everyone in the hall was stunned upon hearing this.
The elder suddenly stood up and walked out of the hall.
Xiao Ning's expression instantly turned ugly.
How is that possible?
He abandoned Xiao Chen in the territory of a fifth-tier magical beast.
A fifth-tier magical beast—let alone Xiao Chen, even the clan leader Xiao Zhan would die if he went there.
How could Xiao Chen possibly come back alive?
Xiao Ning's face turned deathly pale for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.
He left no evidence.
Even if Xiao Chen comes back, there's nothing he can do about it.
The First Elder walked out of the hall and saw Xiao Chen walking into the Xiao family's gate from afar.
"Chen'er!" The First Elder rushed forward and grabbed Xiao Chen's shoulder. "Are you alright?"
"Grandpa, I'm fine," Xiao Chen said.
The elder looked him up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was not injured.
The Second Elder and the Third Elder also came out, and when they saw that Xiao Chen was unharmed, they were both surprised.
Xiao Ning stood behind the crowd, looking at Xiao Chen with a cold glint in her eyes.
However, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Brother Lin, I'm so glad you're alright." Xiao Ning stepped forward. "I thought something had happened to you."
Xiao Chen glanced at Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning deliberately set herself up, and now she pretended to be very worried about herself.
That's a really convincing act!
