Life, Once Again novel Chapter 1

The high-speed train to Hai City was moving fast on its way when suddenly it shook violently.

Awaken by the shake, Jack opened his eyes slowly.

Surprise and puzzlement filled his eyes. After observing around, he frowned immediately.

“Isn’t it the train that I was on when I went to Hai City to fulfill the engagement to Sally, at the age of twenty-three?”

A moment ago he was going through the last Thunder Punishment, but the next moment he was back to the human world!

In his last lifetime, he had arrived in Hai City and got himself ready to be affianced to Sally; but to his disappointment, Sally, his beloved bride-to-be, being unable to resist the crazy romance of a second-generation rich guy, had betrayed him and eloped with that guy!

It was hardly the worst.

The worst thing was, in order to get Sally, that rich guy had continuously set traps for Jack to step in. He first lured Jack to get addicted to gambling and that’s how Jack lost it all; then the rich guy framed Jack, accusing him of cheating in the game, which contributed to Jack’s losing abilities in both of his hands.

Even so, it seemed that the rich guy still couldn’t get enough of this, so he had Jack’s father’s little factory burnt and Jack’s father ended up committing suicide by hanging himself. Jack had lost everything; his family was totally shattered.

In the end, Jack had nothing to lose any more; he had nothing but desperation. He jumped off the Yangze River Bridge. It’s just, he didn’t expect that he should have entered the Immortal World by chance, and had become the Xuanchen Lord!

To become an Immortal, he had to survive the Heavenly Punishment; but while he was going though the Thunder Punishment, he was reborn and returned to the human world.

Looking back on the sufferings in the last lifetime, Jack laughed coldly, “Sally, and those who have failed me and hurt me, for all that you have owed me, now it’s time to pay the price!”

A light of coldness flashed through Jack’s eyes, which seemed to be full of the stars of the whole universe.

He closed his eyes and started to introspect himself, but then he pursed his lips slightly.

The fairy spirit which used to be full almost ran out at the moment.

Jack took back his consciousness and thought to himself, “It seems that I have to spend another life in this human world. But it’s not that bad, because I’m going to be free and unfettered totally, without having any sorrows!”

Suddenly, a girl sitting by the window said in a low voice, “Grandpa, why are we here instead of going to the business class? It’s too crowed and messy here!”

Beside Jack, there sat an old gentleman who seemed calm and a cute girl in her twenties. Simply as they were both dressed, they failed to hide the unique confidence and nobleness in them.

They seemed quite outstanding in the second class cabin.

Jack was sitting by the isle, the old gentleman in the middle and the girl by the window.

The old gentleman smiled lightly and said, “Sara, how many times have I told you, that if you want to seek a better fate and reach a better state, you’ll have to put yourself among the common people? If you always cage yourself up high in the castle, when will you have a real breakthrough?”

On hearing this, the girl stuck out her tongue and said in a low voice, “It’s only been ten years since I started practicing martial arts; I have already grasped the Outer Strength and everyone calls me a genius...”

The old gentleman said seriously, “There’s Inner Strength following Outer Strength. And after this, you’ll have to learn to release the Inner Strength and use it as Outer Strength, only till then will you be a Master of Martial Arts. Now do you think, with your speed right now, that you can be a Master when you reach my age?”

As Jack was repairing his fairy spirit to recover himself, he heard this conversation. He felt surprised that the old gentleman and the cute girl should be Martial Practisers!

In the eyes of the Immortal Practicers, Martial Practisers are as worthless as ants.

In the Immortal World, Martial Practisers are the servants of the Immortal Practicers.
