"Who... who am I?"

"I am one of the Five Supreme Beings who roam the vast continent, the Star Dust Emperor!"

"Still the waste Yang Chen of the Qingfeng Empire!"

In a classroom at Tianxing Academy, a student lying face down on their seat suddenly sat up as if awakening from a nightmare. Their pale face was covered in a cold sweat.

He stared blankly at his surroundings, his eyes filled with bewilderment and unfamiliarity.

After a moment, a sigh...

"I never thought I would be reborn?"

"The Canglan Calendar has 80,000 years. Has it really been 80,000 years since the era I lived in?"

He Yang Chen, originally a powerful Emperor Realm warrior from the Canglan Continent, was even hailed as one of the Five Supreme Beings eight thousand years ago for subduing foreign races alongside his friend. He was revered and respected by all.

However, this was the boundless expanse of wind, but a sudden misfortune befell Yang Chen.

He could never have imagined...

His best friend, the Purehearted Emperor, had actually teamed up with his wife, the Red Dust Fairy, to betray him!

While he was in seclusion, the two men poisoned his water bowl with a toxin called "Dried Heart".

And this kind of poison is tasteless, even Yang Chen couldn't distinguish it.

"You, a lowly soul of the mortal realm, I treated you well. But I never expected you to betray me and join forces with Emperor Pureheart to kill me? Why? Tell me, why?"

"Could it be that even you covet the position of ruler of this continent?" Yang Chen let out a bitter smile.

It is known to all that he, as the strongest among the Five Supreme Beings, would have undoubtedly become the ruler of the continent in the future if not for this incident!

And by then, the entire world will have to submit to Yang Chen's feet, even the Pure Heart Emperor is no exception.

It was precisely for this illusory title that the two developed murderous intent towards Yang Chen and, while he was in seclusion, killed him!

"Unexpectedly, our tens of thousands of years together pales in comparison to mere wealth and glory... They say a woman's heart is the most poisonous, now it seems, that's true."

Yang Chen's eyes were cold, his face grim, and an unprecedented killing intent surged in his heart.

However, fortunately...

Yang Chen was not dead. His soul was reborn in a year that was the same as his own.

And, eighty thousand years have passed...

In my memory, he was a child from an ordinary family. His father, Yang Shan, was a distant relative of the Li family of the Empire.

For this son, Yang Shan had been busy at the Li family for half his life. Finally, after pulling many strings, he managed to get Yang Chen into Tianxing Academy.

To everyone's surprise, the son was not ambitious at all. He lazed around all day and even at eighteen years old, he was still stuck at the second-level warrior realm.

The past two days have been even more alarming, as I received a warning letter from the college and am facing the threat of expulsion.

"Unexpectedly, I was reborn into a broken world?" Yang Chen murmured, feeling a mix of emotions in his heart.

The martial arts path consists of one to nine levels of warriors.

An ordinary person takes ten or twenty years to cultivate and can usually reach the level of a fourth or fifth-level warrior. This guy is already eighteen years old, but he's still stuck at the second-level warrior realm.

I have to say, it's really awful.

……

"Yang Chen!"

Just then, a voice suddenly came, and a student wearing Tianxing Academy uniform walked over. This student was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a sweet appearance, long straight hair. Even wearing a school uniform, it was difficult to hide the other party's temperament.

Eyes as black as gemstones, a high nose bridge, and cherry-sized lips that make you want to kiss them.

This student, Yu Yao, is Yang Chen's class monitor and deskmate. Her strength has reached the fifth level of a martial artist, making her a prominent figure in their entire grade. She is far beyond Yang Chen's current capabilities.

At school, many students viewed her as a god. Even Yang Chen, who was once so popular, had fallen from grace compared to this class monitor.

However, Yang Chen's eyes were calm at this moment, and he did not show any changes because of the other party.

He lived too long...

I have seen the Yaochi Immortal Queen commanding the Eight Desolates, a beauty that could captivate nations. I have also seen the Saint Demon of the Demon Sect, alluring and charming, dancing in the world...

You guys, are all truly stunning beauties, peerless in appearance. That kind of temperament is far beyond what Ling Yuyao can compare to.

When Yang Chen thinks of these old friends, he can't help but feel a pang of nostalgia.

I wonder if those reds from long ago are doing well now? Perhaps they have already been buried in this river of time, reduced to a handful of yellow earth...

It seems that even the most powerful person in the past is insignificant in the face of time.

……

"Class monitor, is there something?" Yang Chen raised his head and gave a faint smile.

Those eyes held a depthlessness, calm and ancient like an unruffled well, profound as the ocean.

Ling Yuyao's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know why, but at this moment, Yang Chen seemed like a different person, even giving off a strange feeling of unfamiliarity.

"That's strange, I feel a sense of fear towards him? It must be my imagination." Ling Yuruo shook her head lightly, trying to calm herself down, and said: "Yang Chen, your friend is waiting for you at the door. He seems to have something to tell you. I'll just bring the message to you. Whether you go or not is up to you."

Ling Yuyao dropped a sentence, then sat down beside him and started reading.

"Friend... Yao Xue?" Yang Chen murmured, then stood up.

Memory tells me that the owner of this painting did indeed have a friend named Yao Xue. The other person's father was also a servant in the Li family and a good friend of Yang Shan, so when they were young, Yang Chen and Yao Xue got along very well, and naturally became boyfriend and girlfriend.

However, since Yang Chen has been reborn, it's naturally impossible to waste his strength on this.

Those little squabbles, in his view, were no different from playing house.

"Well, I guess it's time to have a breakup talk. At least we can end things amicably."

Thinking of this, Yang Chen walked out of the classroom directly.

As expected, a white boy was standing right at the classroom door.

This child is exactly Yang Chen's friend, Yao Xue.

"You're here." Looking at Yang Chen walking over, Yao Xue spoke faintly, "Yang Chen, I have something to tell you."

"That's just as well, I have something to tell you too." Yang Chen nodded and said, "But you go ahead first, I can wait a while to say mine."

"Yang Chen, let's break up." Yao Xue suddenly spoke, one sentence, but it made Yang Chen slightly stunned.

Shouldn't that be his line? Breaking up?

"So, you called me over here just to tell me this?" Yang Chen asked nonchalantly.

"Not bad," Yao Xue nodded and said, "Yang Chen, I think there are some things that it's time to be clear with you. We're not suitable for each other. Although your father and my father are friends, you should know your place."

"What am I?" Yang Chen was curious.

"You're just a waste of space who's about to be expelled from school!" Yao Xue said coldly. "Yang Chen, I used to think about spending my life with you, but it's all your fault for being so useless. You're still only a second-level martial artist! Besides, you're going to be kicked out soon. Once you leave school, you'll be nothing!"

“Look at you, from head to toe, you're a complete pauper. Being with you makes me unable to lift my head in front of my friends. You can't even afford a simple piece of jewelry! I've had enough of this kind of life! Besides, I, Yao Xue, have talent, looks, and countless admirers. Why would I give up an entire forest for just one tree like you?”

"So, let's break up. We're not from the same world," Yao Xue suddenly said with disgust in her eyes. "Besides, I have a new boyfriend now, and you should meet him. He's Li Ling, the young master of the Li family!"

"Li Ling Mo..."

Yang Chen muttered to himself, a figure suddenly appearing in his mind.

Li Jia Da, Li Ling!

The Li family where the other party is located is exactly where Yang Chen's father works. Moreover, Li Ling's strength has reached the level of a fourth-rank warrior, and he is quite famous throughout Tianxing Academy!

No wonder Yao Xue would give up on herself, it turns out she hooked up with a rich second generation.

"Yang Chen, you should know Young Master Li's abilities. He is destined to inherit the Li family in the future. Compared to him, you are nothing." Yao Xue mercilessly struck, her eyes filled with disgust as she looked at Yang Chen.

Now I can't figure out, what was wrong with my eyes before, that I actually liked such a jerk.

But Yao Xue was also somewhat relieved at this moment, fortunate that she had woken up early, otherwise her life would have been ruined.

"Yang Chen, don't blame me for being harsh, I'm doing this for your own good, to give you some self-awareness," Yao Xue said with a faint smile. "Marry someone of lower status, that wouldn't be bad either."

"I see." Yang Chen nodded and smiled, "Then congratulations on your happiness."

Yaoxue let out a soft hum and said, "Yang Chen, I'm done speaking. You just said you had something to tell me, didn't you? Go ahead."

"No need." Yang Chen shrugged and said with a faint smile, "There's nothing to say."

"You...what do you mean?" Yao Xue's pupils dilated slightly, as if she had thought of something, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"It means nothing." Yang Chen smiled faintly and said, "It's just a coincidence that I came here this time to tell you I'm breaking up with you. Since you've said it, then I have no need to say it."

Yang Chen chuckled softly and was about to turn away.

"Yang Chen, stop right there!" Yao Xue suddenly shouted at him: "Yang Chen, you need to explain yourself. What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean?" Yang Chen turned and looked at him quietly.

"Yang Chen, why do you want to break up with me? What's wrong with me, Yao Xue, that I don't deserve you?" Yao Xue's face was full of unwillingness. She couldn't accept it at all. The sense of superiority she had finally built was now completely shattered by Yang Chen's words.

Could it be that he was showing off and deliberately said that?

Yes, it must be so!

Thinking about this, Yao Xue let out a cold snort and said, "Yang Chen, I know it's hard for you to believe, but you don't have to deliberately say such things to ridicule me, do you? Do you think that's funny?"

"Oh? That's how you feel?" Yang Chen chuckled, shaking his head and said pityingly, "Yao Xue, I have to say, you are truly superior to the bone. But if you have the capital, you are superior. If you don't, then you just boast..."

Yang Chen smiled and looked at Yao Xue, whose face was getting uglier and uglier. He said calmly, "But there's one thing you said right, that we are indeed not from the same world. But it's not that I, Yang Chen, am not worthy of you. It's that you, Yao Xue, can't afford me, Yang Chen!"

One day, you will regret everything you said today and beg me to come back.

"This day will not be far…"

Yang Chen smiled faintly, finished speaking, and then left.

Yao Xue stood frozen, her expression growing increasingly grim.
