In May in Golden City, as soon as the sun comes out in the morning, the temperature is close to 30 degrees and the humidity is particularly high.
Gao Xuan stood on his balcony, looking at the buildings in the distance with a deep gaze.
The high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete mostly have glass exterior walls, and the architectural style is simple and direct. Under the sunlight, the whole city is shining brightly.
Vehicles using fuel engines release large amounts of exhaust gas, which gathers above the city, forming a huge cloud layer that covers the city.
Therefore, the sky always has a yellowish tint and is never clear and bright.
It has been three days since Gao Xuan came to this world. During these three days, he has gained a basic understanding of this new body and this new world.
This body is very young, only 24 years old this year. He has practiced martial arts since he was young, but he is lazy and hates work, so his boxing and kicking skills are just average. Until he was 24 years old, he still didn't have a proper job.
There are many boxing gyms in Golden City. The world is not peaceful, so everyone needs to practice self-defense.
On the other hand, if you join a boxing gym, you will have a master and fellow apprentices, and these connections will naturally form a group. For the lower class, this is a way out.
Gao Xuan lives on a mountain in the suburbs. This is not a villa but a famous slum.
There are nearly one million people gathered in this slum area. There are about four to five million poor people in the entire Golden City.
Looking down from a high place, large and simple wooden sheds are stacked one on top of another, extending in all directions.
There is a clear boundary between the simple wooden sheds and the high-rise buildings in the city center. The whole city is directly divided into two classes: rich and poor.
In the slums, women and children cannot go out after dark, and even young and middle-aged people will not go out alone.
Large groups of young men roamed around in the night in gangs, like wolves looking for prey.
However, these people dare not enter the rich areas of the city. There are 24-hour patrol security guards there, all armed with guns. They will shoot the ragged poor people if they disagree with them.
For people in the slums, a prosperous city is a forbidden zone. They have neither money to spend nor the ability to live in a city, and they are discriminated against wherever they go.
Although the slums are also part of the Golden City, they are strictly divided into different classes according to their wealth by visible and invisible boundaries.
Gao Xuan grew up in the slums in this body. Fortunately, his father was very powerful and was a gang leader, so he lived a good life. When he was a teenager, his father was killed in a gang conflict.
This man's life fell into a slump. However, he had developed a habit of being lazy and unwilling to work since he was a child, and he could not change it. Even when practicing martial arts, he only practiced roughly and was never willing to work hard.
Relying on his talent in martial arts and his master Ma Boyuan being an old friend of his father, he was able to grow up smoothly.
Gao Xuan accepted the original memory and had no sympathy for this person's situation. If this person had worked harder, his life wouldn't be so bad.
Of course, it is also very dangerous to stand out in the slums. If you are not careful, you will be killed. It may be better to live like this.
Gao Xuan spent three days to fully tap the potential of this body and repair some of its problems.
This man is actually in his prime years, and he has been practicing martial arts for many years, even if he doesn't work very hard. He is 1.8 meters tall, weighs 80 kilograms, and has strong bones and muscles.
It’s just that this person started smoking and drinking when he was a child, so his lungs already have problems, and his liver is alcoholic. Although he looks strong on the surface, his internal organs have actually begun to decline.
Gao Xuan did not sense any special energy in this world, no vitality, no source of power. His spiritual power was restricted, he could not travel outside, and he could not control matter.
However, in the previous world, Gao Xuan learned how to create gods from blood.
The god born in the blood can fully act on the body and is almost not restricted by external forces.
Although Gao Xuan's mental power was restricted, he had no problem controlling himself.
To create spirit in the blood is to stimulate qi and blood with strong willpower, which will eventually leave a spiritual mark in the blood, thus giving the body incredible power.
Meditation and contemplation such as Buddhism and Taoism are actually attempts by humans to control the body with the mind.
The concept of giving birth to gods from blood is not special. What is truly ingenious is that there are specific methods of practicing giving birth to gods from blood.
In this way, humans can gradually gain control over their own bodies.
Of course, this also has a foundation, which is to have a strong spiritual power like Gao Xuan, a deep understanding of the body, and enough experience and wisdom to complete this process.
When Gao Xuan was reincarnated into this body, he took control of the body with his powerful spirit.
After three days of practice, Gao Xuan has gained 99.99% control over this body.
This means that Gao Xuan can control the level of body cells. If he wants the lungs to return to normal, he will kill all the mutated cells. Let the lungs regain vitality and reach the most ideal state.
Gao Xuan can actively control the liver, heart, and all the internal organs with his consciousness.
Of course, this body can passively complete energy conversion and absorption and complete various complex processes without the need for conscious control.
In fact, if an ordinary person is asked to fully control his body, he actually doesn't know where to start.
Just like the simplest breathing, a breath of oxygen enters the trachea into the alveoli, then enters the blood, flows through the arteries, and the waste gas produced is discharged from the lungs again...
If you don’t understand this process, you won’t know how to operate it.
Although Gao Xuan is not a biologist, he has been studying genetic mutations since the interstellar era, and he has a profound understanding of the human body that far exceeds this era.
Gao Xuan had been constantly undergoing trials in the world of the Nine-Turn Divine Cicada, changing into different bodies, and witnessing various energy rules. This had broadened his horizons and he had learned a great deal of knowledge.
Especially the secret method of creating gods from blood. Once he masters this secret method, he will truly master the human flesh and blood.
Even if there is no obvious special energy in this world, Gao Xuan can still deeply control his body and develop his body's potential through the method of creating a god in his blood.
In three days, this body was completely renewed from the inside out, reaching the limit of what it could achieve in its current state.
During these three days, Gao Xuan spent all his money. He even sold all kinds of things at home in exchange for a lot of beef, eggs and other food.
It is no exaggeration to say that he ate nearly 300 kilograms of food in these three days. All of this food was absorbed by Gao Xuan at the highest efficiency and converted into the energy needed for body transformation.
Gao Xuan did not sense the source of vitality, so the energy to transform his body needed to be replenished through food.
After a few days, Gao Xuan had already mastered the first level of the Thirteen Guardians' Horizontal Training Method.
As long as there is enough energy, Gao Xuan can train this body to be very strong. Of course, it can't reach the level of the previous world, but at least it is very strong for this world.
Judging from the memory of this body, there are many masters in this world. Some special training methods can make the body have extremely powerful destructive power.
For example, a palm strike can blow up a reinforced concrete wall half a meter deep.
Gao Xuan was skeptical about this, after all, he had not seen this body with his own eyes. However, as long as he continued to practice, he could easily reach this level.
The problem now is that he has no money.
Gao Xuan didn't have any plans for the future. He summed up a simple rule: as long as he reached the peak of strength as soon as possible, he would be able to escape from the trial world.
This is different from the second world. There is no supernatural power in the second world, and Gao Xuan can only fully tap the potential of that body.
However, by mastering the art of creating gods from blood and the thirteen guardians' horizontal training, Gao Xuan was able to make his body surpass its own limits and reach a peak state that is unimaginable for humans.
The Blood-Born God and the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training were even useful to Gao Xuan's original body. As long as he returned to his original body, he would be able to bring his body to a higher level.
With just this one gain, Gao Xuan felt that the Nine Revolutions Divine Cicada Trial was very rewarding.
Moreover, he also comprehended the Xumi Mountain Spear. Although the spear was left to his unborn son and not brought out, the heavy, endless, domineering and unparalleled spear intent of the Xumi Mountain Spear was his own.
Of course, the Xumi Mountain Spear cannot be used in this world. He only needs to wait for him to return to his original body, forge a Xumi Mountain Spear, and use it with the mechanical combat body to travel across the galaxy.
The most urgent task is to find a job that can make money and earn some money for food.
Gao Xuan was standing on the balcony not to practice martial arts, but to wait for a call.
The cell phone signal here is very poor, and the only way to avoid missing calls is to stand on the balcony.
When the sun was overhead, the scorching sunlight made the air misty and steamy, and the entire Huangjin City became a big steamer.
Gao Xuan's cell phone finally rang. He took out the old phone with a green screen and pressed the call button.
"Big Brother."
The senior brother on the other side said in a mature voice: "I found a job as a driver and bodyguard. Mainly to pick up and drop off children. Four thousand yuan a month, food and accommodation provided."
Four thousand dollars is not a small amount for the lower level of Golden City. Being a driver and bodyguard, picking up and dropping off children, sounds like an easy job.
This senior brother Ma Li has a good relationship with the person possessed by Gao Xuan. He is almost like a real brother. When he heard that Gao Xuan wanted to find a proper job, he also tried his best to find a good job for him.
"Put on some clean clothes, take a shower and get a haircut, and I'll take you to meet my family this afternoon."
Ma Li knew that although Gao Xuan was lazy, he was not a bad person and did not have any bad habits.
Smoking and drinking are the most normal hobbies in the slums. They cannot be considered bad habits.
Gao Xuan returned to the room and fixed his hair in front of the mirror.
First, he let the messy hair fall off on its own. Then, he let the hair grow out by one centimeter as needed, turning it into a neat buzz cut.
Although this body is not very handsome, his facial features are regular. However, his nose is a bit flat, his eyebrows are sparse, his eyes are not too big, and his lips are a bit too thick...
Gao Xuan made some minor adjustments. His nose became straighter, his eyebrows became thicker and darker, his eyes became bigger, and the key point was that his pupils were darker and brighter. Just this minor change made his whole spirit and energy completely different.
The lips were also adjusted, and the haphazardly growing yellow and black beard was removed.
Then, standing in the mirror, the young man has undergone a drastic change. But if you look closely, the outline of his facial features has not changed. People who are familiar with him can still recognize him at a glance.
Gao Xuan grinned, revealing two rows of neat white teeth. His teeth were originally yellowed by smoke, and he took the wrong medicine when he was a child, so his teeth were uneven and protruding.
During these few days of physical training, Gao Xuan replaced all his old teeth and grew a full mouth of neat teeth. There were a total of forty teeth, each of which was beautiful in color and shape. The iron teeth were so hard that they could really chew iron.
His bronze skin was also tightly packed, and every inch of it exuded vitality. Although he had not applied any oil, it looked as smooth as ivory.
The changes in Gao Xuan's body were all very subtle, and it was difficult for ordinary people to observe them in such detail.
However, these subtle changes accumulated together formed a qualitative change.
The current Gao Xuan has undergone fundamental changes from the inside out, and is completely different from the person he was three days ago.
Gao Xuan scrubbed his body with soap in the simple bathroom and rinsed it with cold water.
I rummaged through the old closet and found a white shirt, a pair of casual trousers and a pair of white sneakers.
In fact, the Golden City is hot and humid all year round. Most people wear flip-flops all year round, and most men wear vests and shorts.
Only those wealthy people who have air conditioning in their rooms can wear neat long sleeves and long pants.
This shirt was a birthday gift from Gao Xuan's master, who also hoped that he could escape from the slums and become a decent person.
Unfortunately, I never had the chance to wear this shirt. It was already wrinkled. Gao Xuan washed the shirt and pants and brushed the outside of his shoes.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, he changed his clothes and shoes and went to Longteng Martial Arts School.
Longteng Martial Arts School is not located in the slums, but on the edge of the Golden City. This is also the junction of the rich and the poor. It is also a mixed place, and the living conditions are much better than those in the slums.
Longteng Martial Arts School is not very big, with only two courtyards. The front courtyard is the martial arts school, and the back courtyard is where people live.
When Gao Xuan came in, there were a dozen young men practicing boxing in the yard.
Seeing Gao Xuan coming in, the group of teenagers all widened their eyes. It was rare to see someone wearing a white shirt, especially on such a hot day, but Gao Xuan didn't sweat a drop, and the white shirt actually made him look refreshing.
The young man who was practicing boxing with the boys was also stunned when he saw Gao Xuan. He asked tentatively: "Senior Brother Gao?"
"Little dog, you don't recognize me after not seeing me for a few days."
Gao Xuan greeted him with a smile and went straight into the front hall.
Ma Li was sitting in the hall drinking tea. He was also stunned when he saw Gao Xuan.
Ma Li even stood up and looked Gao Xuan up and down. He said in disbelief, "Third brother, did you have plastic surgery?"
"Hahaha, don't be funny, big brother. I don't have the money for plastic surgery."
Gao Xuan laughed, "I have made great progress in my Kung Fu in the past few days. I have also quit smoking and drinking, and my spirit and energy are very different."
Ma Li was half-believing and half-doubting. Indeed, Gao Xuan was full of energy and was completely different from his previous decadent state.
But he felt that Gao Xuan's face had changed. This was not just a matter of vigor and vitality.
The more familiar someone is, the less they care about the details of their appearance. Gao Xuan used to look ordinary. Ma Li couldn't really remember any details, but he felt that Gao Xuan suddenly became much more handsome.
If Gao Xuan was just a passerby before, now with his full spirit, handsome facial features and upright posture, he looks like a handsome guy.
Ma Li couldn't figure it out, so he could only believe Gao Xuan's statement, that his kung fu had indeed improved greatly and his whole state had changed drastically.
But he became happy again, he watched Gao Xuan grow up, just like his own brother. Now Gao Xuan has become better, he is also happy for Gao Xuan.
"That's great. Qi Yan is very picky. I was worried that you wouldn't be pleasing to her eyes."
Ma Li said, "Let's go and take a car together."
The two came out of the gym and hailed a taxi. It was too hot, and taking a taxi would save time and prevent them from sweating all over. It would be too embarrassing to meet people like that.
"Qi Yan is thirty years old this year. She is a beautiful widow. Her family is engaged in import and export trade, which is quite large. Qi Yan has a seven-year-old daughter who is about to go to school. She is planning to find a bodyguard and a driver..."
In the car, Ma Li gave Gao Xuan a brief introduction to his family's background and personality.
He reminded her, "Qi Yan is very rich and has a strong personality. She hates lecherous men. Be honest in front of Qi Yan. Don't even think about flirting with her. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, big brother. I'm not very interested in thirty-year-old women. Making money comes first. I won't do anything reckless."
Ma Li glared at Gao Xuan and said, "Don't do anything rash. I'm the one guaranteeing you. If anything goes wrong, they'll have to blame me."
Although he is just a driver and bodyguard, Qi Yan has certain requirements for him. First, he must have a clean background, be steady and honest, and be good at martial arts. He must be able to fight at critical moments.
If Ma Li hadn't guaranteed Gao Xuan, he wouldn't have been qualified to compete for this position.
"You're kidding. Big Brother knows me. I'm the most timid person. How dare I do anything bad?"
Gao Xuan patted his chest and promised. Although his attitude was a bit frivolous, Ma Li also knew that this junior brother was indeed timid and didn't dare to do anything bad.
Ma Li could never have imagined that Gao Xuan had become a completely different person from the inside out.
When we arrived at the Qi family's house, there was a pair of large European-style iron gates at the entrance. The wall was four meters high and covered with a large area of thorny caltrops.
This thing looks like an ordinary vine, but it is covered with iron thorns about seven or eight centimeters long. It hurts and itches when it pricks people. Rich people will plant these plants on their walls to prevent theft.
Mali clicked the intercom at the door and said a few words to the person inside. Then he heard a click and the big iron door opened automatically.
Ma Li led Gao Xuan along the wide and long driveway for more than a thousand meters before they arrived at the main building.
Two tall and strong bodyguards searched Gao Xuan and Ma Li before letting them in.
The main building is decorated in European style, with the floor paved with beautifully patterned marble. A huge crystal chandelier hangs in the middle of the living room, with exquisite sofas, solid wood furniture, and so on on both sides.
Ma Li came in but didn't dare to sit down, so he led Gao Xuan to stand in the center of the living room.
Although Gao Xuan didn't care, there was no need to be unconventional at this time and hurt Ma Li. He just wanted to make a living.
After two or three months, his body will reach its peak and he may be able to leave this world. There is no need to dwell on these details.
Gao Xuan didn't think there was anything to learn in this world. It was just that training an ordinary human body to the extreme was a bit challenging and a kind of training experience.
Gao Xuan and Ma Li waited for more than ten minutes before the hostess Qi Yan came down from the second floor.
Qi Yan wore a purple cheongsam, with delicate makeup and a high bun, and walked down the stairs, full of mature beauty. However, this woman's eyes were a little cold and arrogant, and her behavior had a sense of superiority.
Ma Li went up to greet him respectfully. Qi Yan stood in front of Gao Xuan and looked him up and down carefully.
Qi Yan observed a lot of details. Gao Xuan was dressed very cleanly, with no sweat marks on the collar of his white shirt. He didn't have any peculiar smell, and he even wore socks.
Overall, this person looked very clean and energetic, not like those poor people at the bottom of society, who were greasy, dirty, shabby, had vulgar behavior, and wandering eyes.
Especially Gao Xuan's bright eyes, she didn't dare to look at him after seeing them.
Qi Yan nodded to Ma Li: "He looks quite energetic, but I don't know how he does things."
Ma Li said hurriedly: "My junior fellow apprentice is very efficient and honest."
This is a bit empty, but I have to praise my junior brother in front of my family.
Qi Yan thought she could give it a try. Just as she was about to speak, the old housekeeper next to her frowned and said, "Madam, the city has been unstable recently. This guy sends the young lady to school every day. I wonder how capable he is?"
The old housekeeper is the old man of Qi Yan's husband, named Li Gui. Although the name is not nice, he has worked for the Li family for decades and is deeply trusted and relied upon by Qi Yan's husband.
Qi Yan was not very close to the old housekeeper, but she trusted him quite a bit. Since the old housekeeper said so, she had to give it a try no matter what.
She asked Gao Xuan: "I heard that you have been practicing martial arts since you were young, how good are you?"
Gao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Madam, to be honest, I am very strong."
Qi Yan couldn't help but laugh. To say such things in front of her, this person was not as honest as Ma Li said. However, she really admired his confidence.
At critical moments, we must have the courage to stand up.
The old housekeeper said unhappily, "Young man, don't talk nonsense."
He waved to a tall bodyguard next to him and said, "Have a fight with him."
The old butler said this and gave the bodyguard a look, signaling him to give Gao Xuan a hard beating.
The bodyguard nodded in understanding. He pointed at Gao Xuan and said, "Be careful."
As he spoke, he pounced on Gao Xuan like a tiger. He was more than a head taller than Gao Xuan and weighed nearly 220 kilograms. He pounced on him and completely covered Gao Xuan.
Ma Li's face changed. This man's Tiger Fist training was really fierce. Although his moves were simple, he was tall and strong. He was also fast and fierce. He looked like a good fighter who had experienced many actual battles.
Even if he went up, he might not be able to beat the opponent. After all, there was a huge difference in height and weight. His kung fu was not that pure, so it was difficult for him to beat the opponent with his skills.
As for Gao Xuan, it was even worse. Ma Li was anxious, but he couldn't help, so he could only stare at him.
To Ma Li's surprise, Gao Xuan did not avoid but instead went forward.
Gao Xuan blocked his fists for a moment, then grabbed the opponent's arms and used the opponent's force to throw him over his shoulders.
This wrestling posture is very cool. The bodyguard fell directly on the marble floor and was stunned on the spot. He lay on the ground powerless, his face full of pain, but his eyes were blank.
The battle ended so quickly, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Qi Yan showed appreciation in her eyes: "Not bad."
Gao Xuan said modestly: "It's nothing. I can beat ten of these people."
Ma Li was shocked. It was fine if he won by luck, but Gao Xuan was bragging! Butler Li looked unhappy, but Qi Yan smiled and said, "Okay, from today on, you will be my family's bodyguard."
(There is only one update today~)
(Thanks to Yulong Tianya for the 20,000 reward, and Kunlun Sword for the 10,000 reward. There are many more rewards, which I won’t list one by one. I am very touched. I bow to thank you.)
