Chapter 1: Reborn in Another World

Shi Yan woke up with a start. His head was throbbing in pain, as if it was filled
with lead and it felt extremely heavy.

Once the pain faded decreased slightly, he found himself in a dimly lit stone
cave which was the size of a basketball court. Piles of bones were scattered
all over the place, and a dozen corpses covered in strange clothes lay beside
him. The clothes looked new and bright. As if these people had died recently.

"Where is this? Is this still the Bahamas?"

Shi Yan, 27 years old, was an insane fanatic of extreme sports. His mother
died early, while his father died of cancer in the prime of his life. But, he had
saved a fortune working his whole life. This left him with such a large amount
of wealth which he could never use in a lifetime.

He owned many things at an early age, which other people would pursue their
entire life.

Although young and rich, he had no future goals, which made him unhappy for
a long time.

At the age of 17, he had his first taste of extreme sports, which brought him
unspeakable excitement. Given his large amount of wealth, he could
undertake these sports as much as he liked, which ordinary people would not
be able to afford this.

Traditional extreme sports, such as free-climbing, crocodile bungee, low-

altitude parachuting, volcanic skateboarding, cliff diving and limbo skating,
brought him the greatest enjoyment and pleasure.
The thrill of being on the verge of death invigorated him and made his blood
boil.

In ten years, he had tried all sorts of the most dangerous extreme sports due
to which his body was extraordinarily strong. Hundreds of near-death
experiences made his nerves as hard as steel. He once joked that he was the
man who was closest to the Grim Reaper.

The blue-hole exploration in the Bahamas was his most dangerous extreme
sports trip. Some of these blue-holes were hundreds of meters deep, while
some were complex like mazes. What's more, every little move could stir the
sand up on the bottom of the cave. No matter how bright your light was, you
wouldn't be able to see anything in front of you.

Even if you were an experienced diver, you had to wear a steel wire before
you jumped into a blue-hole. The steel wire was the lifeline of explorers, and
its length decided the distance explorers could go. Moving beyond that
distance was tantamount to suicide because nobody ever got out of that maze
without a steel wire. According to the statistics from the Bahamas Maritime
Institute, there was an average of 20 cave diving related deaths in the blue-
hole, most of whom died from losing direction.

In this dangerous extreme adventure, Shi Yan threw away his lifeline; the
steel wire, entering into a suicidal adventure, and finally lost himself in the
mysterious blue-hole.

And in the blue-hole, getting lost meant certain death.

Shi Yan lay collapsed on the ice-cold rock ground, looking at his surroundings
with the aid of a dim light coming from the cave walls. In his mind, there
appeared some memory fragments that didn't belong to him.

This was the memory of another Shi Yan...

That boy was 17 years old and had the same name as himself. He was
attracted to antiques and was obsessed with all kinds of historical remains;
because of an ancient map, he strived for half a year and eventually got here
with his guards.

Feeling weak all over, Shi Yan frowned and slowly lifted himself up.
Just then, to his surprise, Shi Yan noticed that this body was not his own, but
that of the other Shi Yan who was only 17 years old.

He was dumbstruck for a moment.

"Didn't I die in the blue-hole? No! I am still alive, but in an unbelievable way!"

...

According to the other Shi Yan's memory, this place was called Grace
Mainland, where there was no science or technology. There were endless
waging wars and warriors raging everywhere!

Many dwellers here showed mysterious abilities not long after they were born.
Some had the power of lightning, some could control plants, some could
tunnel into the earth, some could use the chill of frost, and some were capable
of communicating with demon beasts...

People with these various abilities would all become warriors, and their
abilities were referred to as Martial Spirits.

Martial Spirits were nearly all possessed at birth, and only very few could
acquire a spirit through some stroke of luck. That is why this mainland was
named Grace Mainland, as the warriors believed that Martial Spirits were God
gifted.

Not every warrior could possess a "Martial Spirit", in fact, the majority of
warriors weren't blessed with one. Ordinary people could train hard to become
a warrior, but there was no way to obtain a Martial Spirit through training.
Martial Spirits were so powerful that they could benefit a warrior's training,
increasing their combat potential significantly and granting them their own
special abilities...

As a result, among warriors of the same level, those who owned a Martial
Spirit tended to be much stronger and achieved significantly greater results.
They did half the work with double the results.

The "Martial Spirit" can be inherited through blood, plus there was a higher
probability where one inherited the Martial Spirit.

In general, if one of the parents possessed a spirit, there was a high possibility
that their child would inherit the same spirit. If both of the parents had a spirit,
their child would have an even greater chance to inherit one of their spirits,
either from the father or the mother.

There was only a one in a hundred chance that a couple, who both possessed
a martial spirit, would give birth to an ordinary child.

Even rarer was the situation where the kid inherited both spirits from his
parents. This inherent type of Martial Spirit was called "Twin Spirits", and
those type of lucky individuals which possessed them were also known as a
'Son of God'! It only happened to one in ten thousand couples who possessed
different Spirits.

Shi Yan stood there and continued to put the fragmented memories in order.

The original owner of this body came from the Shi Family. They possessed
the Petrification Martial Spirit which could make the body as hard as a rock in
battle, preventing damage to the body. As said fighter raised their cultivation,
the Petrification Martial Spirit would become much stronger, to the point where
they were almost indestructible.

Unfortunately, this guy didn't inherit the Petrification Martial Spirit and was
thus considered a poor successor for the martial arts that the Shi Family
trained in. He also showed no interest in martial arts, and never learned
anything about them either. All he had been devoted to was the exploration of
historical remains.

Thanks to that ancient map, he had crawled through numerous heavy bushes
and suffered a lot to arrive at this ancient cave.

"Wu wu wu.... hu hu hu.... "

Suddenly, a devil-like cry came from deep within the cave. Astonished, Shi
Yan looked around only to find a blood pool in the direction the voice came
from.

The blood pool, about 10 square meters in size, was located in the middle of
the cave, filled with a red fluid which looked just like blood. It was bubbling on
the surface and was giving out horrifying shrieks and howls when the bubbles
popped.
He realized that his escorts were driven insane by the howls, and they had
started to kill each other. They all died in succession, while the 17-year-old
Shi Yan fainted from the frightening shrieks.

It was all because of the blood pool!

Shi Yan stared at the blood pool with a rigid face. The howls slowly evoked
the desire to kill within him, and made him want to kill anyone around him!

His head was still aching and the howls from the blood pool never stopped
tormenting him, which made it harder for him to concentrate.

"...Must be the blood pool!"

With a grim expression, he tried to guard his mind. His countless near-death
experiences had steeled his mind and Shi Yan managed to calm down.
Although his head still ached, he was able to stay focused and walked
towards the blood pool.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

Shi Yan looked dignified, as he walked gray dry bones shattered under his
feet. Judging by the pile of bones in the cave, he could only guess how many
people had previously died in this place. The pool was the source of this evil.
If he wanted to examine the secrets of the blood pool, he had to be prepared
for death.

As he got closer to the blood pool, the howls kept getting louder and louder
which drilled into his head like sharp knives. The sound of slaughter contained
in the howls almost destroyed his reasoning. He wouldn't have been able to
bear this pain if it weren't for the extreme conditions he faced for so many
years that had slowly formed his spirit.

A heap of bones was situated beside the blood pool; some milky white bones
also floated in the center of the pool. This small blood pool was like a sea of
blood from hell, which had devoured an uncountable number of lives.

Shi Yan had a feeling that his soul was summoned here because of this
bizarre blood pool. He thought maybe this blood pool was his ticket back to
the Earth.
When he got closer to the blood pool, Shi Yan suddenly found something
strange. The blood in the middle of the pool was scarlet and thick, but he
couldn't detect the slightest whiff of the scent of blood.

On the contrary, the air around him was very fresh, even filled with an
unexplainable fragrance. After careful inspection, he determined that the
exotic fragrance actually came from the blood pool!

Shi Yan was full of curiosity and thought that there must be something weird
in the blood pool.

Again, he took a few steps forward. All of a sudden, an illusion of an endless

sea, filled with scarlet red blood entered his mind. Pile of corpses like a small
island were there. Some of the bones were like those of the cretaceous period
dinosaurs and were as large as a small hill. There was a repeatedly
screaming sound coming out from the blood sea, "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Shi Yan tried to stay calm, but he couldn't. His heart started to beat faster and
faster. A suffocating and terrifying pressure overwhelmed him. He felt a
familiar feeling like those near death experiences he experienced back on
Earth

He knew that the next step likely meant death!

However, those dreary adventures over the years hadn't terrified him, but
instead had given him the utmost pleasure! Being face to face with death and
surviving all perils was the true definition of extreme sports!

Step by step, one after the other!

Under the calling of the blood pool, Shi Yan finally went up to the edge. He
stared at the small blood pool; the insane side of his character had been
triggered. He roared, "Let's see what you have to offer, small little blood pool!"

Then, he jumped into the pool.
