If my memory serves me right, that's how the extermination of Bo Jin's family befall. I hope I did not overlook anything.

The Evil Sect targeted Bo Family because they learned about Bo Jin's talent. It was the talent of Bo Jin who caused this attack. Too much talent is a double edge sword.

Do you remember the guy that complemented Bo Jin? When he was found out to be very talented. Yes, the one I warned you about a spoiler. I already hated him right away because I knew he was the one who sold the information to the Evil Sect.

He's a cultivator, so I did not dare to stop him or what... I'm not too fond of the feeling that I was unable to prevent this from happening.

If you're worried about our protagonist, I am sure he won't die. Assuming nothing changes from my storyline.

Thinking about it now... every time-traveling movie or novel that I know have the same rules. Tampering any circumstance in the past, even how trivial, can change the future. If I am not wrong, it is because of the Domino Effect. A change in an event will cause a chain reaction to another event.

I am like a time traveler because I know things from the future. And if I change something or even just an attempt to change the current events... It will affect the future.

What if? Warning the townspeople about the attack has altered something that happened last night or any other future events. Presently, I'm unsure if everything I told you earlier was the exact situation last night.

The status of Bo Jin can also be questionable. Bo Jin was able to escape from the assassins due to a series of random events in my story. Hopefully, no changes happen. It will suck if Bo Jin dies. His death will significantly impact the overall situation; my knowledge of the future will all be useless.

I need to make sure Bo Jin is okay. I'm pretty sure his death would change everything.

If he is alive, he will be in a farmer's house outside of town. He escaped the enemies but at a great price since he hasn't yet started his cultivation. This will also be the time that he will awaken his Martial Spirit.

Bo Jin from earth was an orphan, so he was so happy when he reincarnated into this world. Here he has a loving father and many family members. So it was very heartbreaking when the family he found would be taken from him right away.

After his father's death, the evil sect started killing all family members, even women and children. In a wuxia novel, the extermination of the entire generation is normal. This incident has a significant effect on Bo Jin. The emotional wound would be the catalyst that would help him awaken his martial spirit.

I need to confirm the storyline is unchanged, so I need to find him. I also need an excuse to go out of town. I can no longer stand to look at this many dead bodies.

So here I go... I went out of the back gate because that's where the farmer's village should be located. I did not provide any details of where exactly the house Bo Jin will be in my novel. But one thing is for sure. An old man saved him.

Farmers in this world are the lowest class. That is why they live outside the protection of the town. It took me half a day to find this old man's house.

It was a shabby hut made of wood with a straw roof. The glowing light coming from inside confirms I found the right house.

Yes! He is alive! And I am just in time for his awakening.

People started gathering because of the unnatural phenomenon. The sky began to grow dark on cue, and lightning is crashing down. (This is for dramatic effect since his awakening is significant to the story.) The glowing light intensified, making the whole house glow.

I needed to witness this!

I went closer so I could observe. I know exactly what will happen. As the glowing light intensifies, the martial spirit will also condense. Then a man with a crown on his head will appear above the house like a golden light hologram. This will be the birth of the King.

My heart started to beat faster; I'm getting thrilled because I will witness a historical event. My geeky side is getting out of control. It was like watching a fantasy movie, except it is in real life. Any minute now, and the martial spirit King will emerge.

Another lightning crashed then it started to rain. Chilling cold crept into my body. What is happening?! This is not what I expected. From my "knowledge" of wuxia, the feeling coming from a golden glow of a King Martial Spirit should be something glorious or something warm...not chilling cold!!! Usually, rain and chilling cold is a nasty combination.

I expected something spectacular, but instead, It gets colder and gloomy. A silhouette of a man appeared above the house. It is a hologram of light, just as I predicted, but instead of a golden king, a dark shadowy figure appeared.

It is like a ghost/wraith/phantom!!! I don't know how to describe it. Everyone that came to watch was shocked as they ran away. While I, on the other hand, thinking: Something did change... Bo Jin is indeed alive, but his martial spirit is different.

What could have caused this change? And what Martial Spirit is that? I have no idea...

Just as the sudden appearance of the "ghost" such also its disappearance. Everything came back no normal. The rain stopped, and the sun is shining again as if nothing happened. The people were so scared; they did not dare to get near the house. That is the same for me, but I did not go away. I stay at a safe distance, so I could observe what will happen next.

After an hour, the door of the house opened. Bo Jin came out; I can't see any difference in his appearance. He was like how I saw him yesterday. However, this time I can feel that he is more reserved and the radiant personality dimmed.

It could mean he was only sad because of his loss or grieving his family's death. I can't tell if his martial spirit had any adverse effect on him.

I wanted to follow him, but he looked in my direction and seemed aware that I was observing him. This gives me the creeps, so I did not continue my plan.

Probably, I am already losing the advantage of my future knowledge. A significant change already occurred; what other changes will happen in the future?

Groooowl...

I almost jump with surprise... What the hell was that?! Then it came again...growl...

Oh, it's coming from my stomach. I did not realize how hungry I was.

I need to eat something!! I don't have any money, and stealing is out of the question. I wander around the farmer's "village." It seems that the town is not yet aware of the incident. Or they are, but they don't even care.

I have never been this hungry before; even if we are a middle-class family, food was never a problem. Being in this situation makes me appreciate what life I had back then.

Food, clothing, and a place I could call home are things I took for granted. Since I don't know where I can get something to eat, why not try begging? Well, I'm a beggar, so there should be nothing wrong if I beg for food.

To spare you the most embarrassing moment of my life. I will skip to the part when I have been able to beg for food from a farmer. She was a very kind woman. She gave me a bowl of plain congee. It was the simplest food I ever ate, but it was also the most delicious food I ever tasted. So ironic, right?

I thanked her before I went my way. I plan to go back to Town A because the cultivators will return tonight to fetch all those who passed the first test. Only a few people will be able to go because of the recent tragedy. The only question is: how many?

Oh! I remember something. Hopefully, Miss Chen followed my advice. Since it is still early, and I have nothing to do, it's time I should go for her. I did not even ask for her name, so she better be alive.

She was the first-ever friend I have after coming here. Well, she doesn't know that yet, but I know she is a good person.

She showed kindness to someone she has no relation with, taking into account that I am also a beggar. Such a person who doesn't judge a person by their appearance should be a good person, right?

So I went back to town. It seems like the Capital's people have already been notified. A carriage full of soldiers entered the city.

A cart full of dead bodies is coming in the opposite direction. I wanted to avert my eyes from the dead bodies, but I did not. I need to get used to these things.

I looked all over town, but I never saw even her shadow, and no one in the city knows what happened to the Chen family. Like they vanished into thin air. The designated time is already near. I started to the meeting place the cultivators have agreed upon.

It's time for me to enter the Good Guys sect...
