Strongest Ruler

Strongest Ruler
Leaving the Mountain



That golden light surrounded Xiao Fan's body and forced its way through the pores of his skin.


The pain was like burning under a very hot fire that Xiao Fan could feel when the golden light entered his body.


"Arghh.." veins were seen around his neck and face. Xiao Fan gritted his teeth trying to withstand the flow of heat.


Until when Xiao Fan could not help but feel the burning heat in his body, he finally fainted on the spot.


Meanwhile, the golden light continued to trace every single point on Xiao Fan's body and finally stopped just below his navel.


The light slowly solidified and formed a pagoda there.


Xiao Fan's body glowed for a moment until the light disappeared.


When noon arrived, Xiao Fan woke up and sensed that there was a strange change in his body.


He kept thinking what the oddity was but did not find it, "What changed with my body? Uh, wait a minute... Haven't I eaten since yesterday? why don't you feel hungry at all?"


Xiao Fan continued muttering, there was indeed no other change in his body other than his hunger disappearing.


"It's great, if it's like this I can survive without eating for three whole days."


Xiao Fan smiled, he suddenly recalled the heat in his body that had disappeared.


"Hmm, could it be that golden light that keeps me from starving?"


Xiao Fan walked a few meters to pick up the worn out book lying on the ground.


He sat down on his bed and began to read the first page of the book very seriously.


Although Xiao Fan grew up with his grandfather on the top of the mountain, far away from the populated settlement, but that did not make Xiao Fan stupid.


But on the contrary, Xiao Fan's understanding of something was truly frightening.


This he had proven when he was 8 years old and he had memorized many herbs that his grandfather taught in just one day.


Though his grandfather took weeks to remember all those herbs.


Xiao Fan quickly turned the next page until he reached the end of the page.


Pa!


Xiao Fan closed the worn out book, "This book explains about the basics of cultivation.. The important thing in cultivating is the foundation, the stronger your foundation, the better."


In the book it also explained about the things Xiao Fan had to do before starting his cultivation and also a technique called wind eagle fist.


Exactly a few seconds after, the book suddenly turned into dust and was swept away by the wind.


Xiao Fan was surprised, he sighed while muttering. "I'm glad I took care of everything."


He stood up, walked to the bathroom to clean his body. Since the day had changed by night, Xiao Fan decided to start her practice tomorrow morning.


When night fell, only a candlelight illuminated the wooden house. Xiao Fan was sitting at a dining table, in front of him was a cooked vegetable and a plate of rice.


When Xiao Fan ate, he suddenly recalled the shadow of his grandfather. Although from the outside Xiao Fan looked strong, but actually in his heart was so fragile.


After finishing dinner, Xiao Fan went to sleep resting his tired body.


Since tomorrow was the time where he started training, Xiao Fan needed enough energy for it.


He dashed down the mountain then after reaching the bottom, Xiao Fan ran up. He repeated it three times.


His body had reached the limit with all of his muscles in pain. His chest was so tight, even Xiao Dan had trouble taking a breath.


Despite being in such a body condition, Xia Fan stood up and started to continue his training. He sat down with both hands beside his body... Like the Push-up position


"1, 2, 3, 4, ...."


Xiao Fan did a Push-up until it reached the number one hundred after which it changed to do Sit-ups.


At that time the sun had reached its peak with its rays that were so stinging to the body.


Xiao Fan was lying under a tree beside his house with uneven breathing. His body was sweating a lot, looking like it was after a shower.


Just as Xiao Fan was adjusting his breathing, the golden Pagoda that was inside his body suddenly shone.


Golden energy flowed throughout Xiao Fan's body and made him become even more relaxed.


His breathing was already not so heavy as before, now Xiao Fan could breathe with relief. "Wait a minute, where is all that pain?"


Xiao Fan sat down with a shocked face, his entire body numb with unbearable pain. But it quickly disappeared, how could he not be surprised?


"I think there's been something strange about my body since the light came in." Xiao Fan thought lightly, since the entire pain in his body had disappeared, he decided to continue his training.


Xiao Fan continued to repeat the same exercise every day, to form a strong foundation, Xiao Fan could not laze around.


He knew that the way to become a ruler was a tough one.


Perhaps for some people to see what Xiao Fan was doing was just a futile right. But actually every single exercise that Xiao Fan went through had completely changed his physique.


Even if the current Xiao Fan returned to the city and taught the man who killed his grandfather, he had a chance to win.


Every time Xiao Fan was exhausted, the golden Pagoda quickly reacted to help him heal his wounds.


That way, time goes by very quickly. Three years have passed since the death of grandfather Hong (Grandfather Xiao Fan).


Now that Xiao Fan had grown into a handsome young man, he was currently 17 years old, but he was taller than a child his age, his height was almost 190 cm with his hair short black.


His eyes were sharp with two jet-black eyes. His muscles also looked quite hard due to the unreasonable training for three whole years.


If it was an ordinary person, then it was certain that they would not be able to last more than a day.


Xiao Fan was standing right in front of his grandfather's meal, unlike three years ago, now he was smiling in front of his grandfather's grave.


"Grandfather, thank you for taking care of me all this time, now I have decided to become a Sovereign who will change the laws in this world. So please look at me from up there."


Xiao Fan paid his last respects, he looked at the wooden house with many memories in his head.


This house is where he grew up, many memories of his grandfather in this house. But if Xiao Fan continued to settle in that house, he would not be able to thrive.


With a simple outfit and also a bag on his shoulder, Xiao Fan walked down the mountain with shining eyes.


"My adventure starts here."
