Angry Little Jian
Jian Changsheng always thought that reincarnation was a concept. He didn't expect it to be an action in the physical sense, and a high-intensity, vigorous action at that.
The world spun rapidly before his eyes. Jian Changsheng's bruised head was already full of large bumps. His already blurry consciousness quickly fainted again after a few consecutive bumps... Then he constantly repeated the process of waking up, fainting, and waking up again.
Until a moment came when Jian Changsheng was bumped so hard that his entire person almost flew out of the handcart, a thought slowly surfaced in his mind...
"That's not right..."
"I don't seem to be dead either? How did I reincarnate??"
Jian Changsheng froze. He subconsciously raised his hands to hook onto the edge of the handcart, and struggled to sit up straight bit by bit amidst the bumpiness...
In front of him, a figure wearing a familiar Great Crimson Theatrical Robe was dragging the handcart's handles, frantically dragging it across the potholed ground as if venting his anger. There was flat ground before him but he didn't walk on it, insisting on walking on the bumpiest and hardest path. His arms swung up and down forcefully amidst the bumpiness, as if tossing a wok.
Jian Changsheng: ???
"Chen Ling" wearing the Great Crimson Theatrical Robe turned his head coldly and glanced at him:
"... Dumbass."
"???"
Jian Changsheng had been bumped for a long time and was already angry with nowhere to vent. Now being directly insulted by "Chen Ling" to his face, he instantly became enraged!
Without a second word, he rolled up his sleeves and pounced howling towards "Chen Ling" from the handcart!
Bang—!
"Chen Ling", wearing the White Paper Shackles, fundamentally didn't have the slightest bit of power. He was directly knocked over by Jian Changsheng pouncing from behind. The two of them just rolled several times on the black earth, dust flying up.
"Damn it, Hearts! I've endured you for a long time!!" Jian Changsheng said angrily, "New grudges and old hatreds, I'll settle them all with you this time!!"
"What level do you think you are? A broken supporting character just here to make up the numbers, actually daring to yell at me?"
"Who are you calling a supporting character? What are you pretending for! Is knowing how to sing opera that amazing?"
"I'm talking about you!" "Chen Ling" was pressed beneath Jian Changsheng. Wearing shackles and already being extremely upset, he cursed resentfully, "What? Have you figured out how to play that broken persona of 'The world treats you unfairly, you treat the world gently'? Who the fuck are you spreading positive energy to here?? What are you pretending for?!"
"You!!!"
Jian Changsheng widened his eyes, so angry he couldn't speak.
Although he couldn't understand what "Chen Ling" was saying, he could feel that kind of heartfelt disdain and contempt in the other party's eyes. Jian Changsheng had never been so aggrieved. His originally loosely held fists subconsciously clenched tight, and solidly smashed towards "Chen Ling"'s face in anger!
However, just at the moment his fist was about to hit "Chen Ling"'s nose, the latter's pupils contracted violently, and a World-Destroying Tier Oppressive Aura abruptly erupted!!
Boom—!!
Strong winds howled and frantically swept across the black earth.
Although "Chen Ling"'s power was entirely sealed by the White Paper Shackles, his Aura was truly "World-Ending". Just the deterrence of this gaze was enough to make ninety-nine percent of living creatures lose their ability to move, and Jian Changsheng's fist also froze in midair...
Under the shadow of the fist, the corners of "Chen Ling"'s mouth curled up, and he said mockingly:
"You don't even know it yourself, right? From the very beginning, your predetermined ending was to die in the Ancient Vault of the Military Path, becoming a stepping stone on my path forward... You can't even be considered a supporting character, just a background character who should disappear after exerting your light and heat.
The reason you are standing here is because 'The Audience' took pity on you, so you gained Bai Qi, and you underwent Resurrection...
From the very beginning, no one thought highly of you. You are a background character with a worthless life, understand?"
Jian Changsheng's fist began to tremble.
His breathing grew increasingly heavy. Whether it was anger, sorrow, or grievance, his entire person was trembling... He didn't know what kind of inner journey he experienced, but he ultimately opened his dry lips and spoke hoarsely:
"You are not Hearts... Who exactly are you?"
"I am Hearts, I am Six of Hearts, Chen Ling." "Chen Ling" said faintly, "Now, take your broken hand off my face... Back, ground, char, act, er!"
"... Go fuck your mother!!!"
Jian Changsheng roared in anger. A wisp of Killing Intent from the Ancient Vault of the Military Path burst forth from his body, and a hint of black intent flashed across his pupils... The next moment, his clenched fist came crashing down howling!
Bang—!
Jian Changsheng smashed a fist onto "Chen Ling"'s nose, and even the earth trembled violently.
Immediately after was the second punch, the third punch... Jian Changsheng had red eyes, and his fists rained down, as if frantically venting the anger and grievance in his heart.
By the time he came back to his senses, "Chen Ling"'s head had already been beaten into the ground. A large pool of blood spread out from beneath him, making him look incredibly miserable.
As all his emotions finished venting, Jian Changsheng then slowly retracted his hands. Seeing the hideous cracks on the surrounding earth, he suddenly froze...
"My power..."
Only then did Jian Changsheng realize that after inexplicably fainting, he had actually already achieved Advancement to the Fourth Order. His strength and speed had both undergone earth-shaking changes.
Realizing it belatedly, he stood up from "Chen Ling"'s body, and looked with a strange expression at that deep crater sunken into the earth... He was heavy-handed just now, this guy couldn't be dead, right?
Crack—
Bursts of crisp sounds rang out from the deep crater sunken into the earth.
The next moment, a head entirely covered in blood lifted up from inside... The twisted and deformed facial features returned to their original positions amidst soft sounds. He slightly turned his neck, and all his joints recovered along with it. All that was left was a pair of incredibly resentful eyes staring straight at Jian Changsheng!
"You're... courting death!!!"
"Heh heh, your mouth is foul, so you deserve to be beaten." At this moment, Jian Changsheng had also guessed this person's identity. His eyes narrowed slightly, "That World-Ending Aura just now... Are you the Calamity of [Mockery] inside this guy's body?"
"No, I am Chen Ling!" An angry roar transmitted from within "Chen Ling"'s body. He had already been thoroughly enraged. "On what basis do all of you only acknowledge him and not me? I am also Chen Ling!!"
"Chen Ling my ass! Although that guy is annoying, his personality is much better than yours."
"You!!"
At the same time, a hand stretched out from behind Jian Changsheng and patted his shoulder.
Jian Changsheng turned around in confusion, and saw a youth wearing a Theatrical Robe standing behind him, looking at him with a helpless expression... This youth opened his mouth and was just about to say something, when Jian Changsheng frowned. He looked at the incredibly angry "Chen Ling", then sized up the youth in the Theatrical Robe a few times:
"No... where did you pop out from, little brat?"
Master: ...?
