Zhang Wenhao, a practitioner of physical cultivation, hailed as the Physical Cultivation Demon, was initially the number one disciple under the guidance of the true Blood Dragon of the Xuanyuan Immortal Pathway.

He was not proficient in martial arts, but in the realm of physical cultivation, he possessed astonishing talent, considered to be a peerless prodigy who, in a million years, stood the best chance to break through the Taoist realm using the path of physical cultivation.

Regrettably, he ultimately fell victim to the celestial tribulation while breaking through to the Taoist realm. However, his soul did not die, and was reborn in the present body.

At this moment, Zhang Wenhao, reincarnated, transformed into Yang Wenhao. His father was an adopted child of the Yang family, now deceased, leaving him alone.

The current body was on the brink of death due to sabotage by others. It took him three months to barely restore it.

When he discovered his surprising rebirth, with all his cultivation, special abilities, and treasures completely vanished, he was not despondent but tremendously thrilled!

In his previous life, he was overly stubborn, refusing his mentor's advice, focused solely on physical cultivation, which led to shaky roots. Unexpectedly, fate offered him a chance to do it all over again!

However, even though he fell under the celestial tribulation of the Taoist realm, he had an epiphany in the final moments, perfected his self-created Dragon Domination Body, becoming the first spirit-level-body cultivation technique in history!

...

In a quiet, separate small courtyard of the Yang family's mansion in Yunzhou City.

In the midst of harsh winter, heavy snow was whirling all around, with an expanse of white everywhere. It was freezing; even the mice were too lazy to come out in search of food, let alone human beings.

Yet, in this snowstorm, a lean, handsome young man was seated cross-legged in the icy snow, his eyes slightly closed, as if he did not notice the cold.

At that moment, the young man abruptly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth lifted in a smirk.

"My body has completely recovered, just another day to fully relax my meridians, then I will be free to move!"

"My Dragon Domination Body has broken through to the first stage. Although my cultivation level is only at the first tier of mystic energy, no one under the fifth tier of the mystic realm can rival me!"

"Give me another thirty years and I will rule both heaven and earth, becoming the ultimate overlord!" he exclaimed.

"In this lifetime, I promise to gain wisdom from my past mistakes, practice the martial arts, and slowly climb back to the peak of my powers!"

A smirk formed at the corner of his mouth as his eyes became increasingly sharp, a flickering flame was dancing within them!

"Also, this body's injuries point to one thing - someone set me up."

Yang Wenhao clenched his fists tightly, feeling the intensity of his familiar yet strange body. "But from now on, I am you, and I won't let myself be bullied again."

He was about to get up and move around when the gate to the courtyard was kicked open, wooden debris scattered across the ground...

"Yang Wenhao, you beast, come out immediately!" A chilly voice rang out. The person who kicked the door was a lavishly dressed young man in his twenties, slightly older than himself.

Yang Wenhao naturally knew who this was - it was Chen Mincai, the son of the family leader of another prominent family in Yunzhou city.

Accompanying the young man was a youthful girl.

She was around fourteen years old. The innocence still present on her face gave her an alluring charm, pure yet enchanting. This charming girl was destined to grow into a bona fide beauty.

He also recognized her. She was Chen Mincai’s younger sister, Chen Shiyun, who seemed to be the former girlfriend of his present body.

However, at this moment, Chen Shiyun was crying, her eyes swollen from the tears. Her clothes were torn and ragged, as if someone had forcibly ripped at them.

Following behind them were several high-ranking members of the Yang family, each of them with a stern expression.

"Brother Mincai, what do you need from me?"

Yang Wenhao furrowed his brows, feeling an indistinct sense of foreboding!

"Hmph, you beast, you dare to play innocent! You tried to force yourself onto my sister after your confession was rejected. If me and Wenchang hadn't arrived in time, Shiyun would have probably been despoiled by you now!"

The Wenchang that Chen Mincai mentioned is the son of Yang family's current leader, Yang Shoucheng - Yang Wenchang.

"Father, I can attest to this! Yang Wenhao committed a heinous crime by violating a clan sister. He should be executed!"

Yang Wenchang immediately concurred.

Yang Shoucheng gave a cold hum, showing his stance on the matter.

Yang Wenhao paused, his past life's experience quickly enlightening him. This was a setup!

"Minwen, I think you might have gotten the wrong idea. Shiyun and I have always been lovers. There's no such thing as a failed confession!"

He just smiled subtly, really willing to see what kind of game these people were planning to play.

"Yang Wenhao, you're still trying to quibble. The one I've always liked is Brother Wenchang. When did I become your lover?"

Chen Shiyun also chimed in, her pitiful tone providing the strongest piece of evidence!

"Hmph, Yang Wenhao stop making excuses. Violating a clan sister is undeniable with solid evidence, such atrocious behavior is infuriating, you're worse than a beast!"

Yang Shoucheng directly announced the sentence.

"Wenchang, I'll hand him over to you to deal with. We owe the Chen family an explanation!"

With that said, high-ranking members of the Yang family immediately stepped aside, their intention clear. Yang Wenhao's life was to be left in the hands of Yang Wenchang.

At this point, Yang Wenhao finally saw the light. These people were clearly displeased with him and wanted him gone.

Yang Wenchang slowly approached Yang Wenhao, a cold smile on his face.

"Yang Wenhao, today, you cannot escape your fate."

"Heh heh, Yang Wenchang, you and your father conspired against me so meticulously. It's all for the Spiritual Peak Sect position I hold, isn’t it?"

Yang Wenhao's father was an adopted son of the Yang family, whose cultivation was extraordinary. He had once helped the most prominent sect in Yuanwu Country, the Spiritual Peak Sect.

Therefore, the Spiritual Peak Sect awarded a position to the Yang family, waiting for Yang Wenhao to come of age at sixteen and join the sect to learn martial arts!

However, unexpectedly, Yang Wenhao's aptitude could only be described as a waste. He had been cultivating since he was ten until he turned sixteen, and he only managed to reach the first level of Qi!

After the death of Yang Wenhao's father, the Yang family had long been eyeing this position!

Now, they couldn't help but make their move!

"Heh heh."

Yang Wenchang sneered. "So what if you know? It’s because you’re such a waste—losing your father at such a young age didn’t help either."

"Giving this position to you is a waste. It would be better off with me."

His voice was very low, only audible to Yang Wenhao.

But no doubt, everyone else already knew the situation.

"Since you're going to die, I'll make it clear for you. You thought Shirin truly liked you? You were so foolish to present her with the family stipend allocated to you all these years. Do you know how I improved my cultivation so quickly? The stipend you gave Shirin ended up in my hands in the end, ha ha, ha ha!"

"Since you insist, why don't you go all the way and sacrifice your life to help me reach Spirit Peak Sect?" He said.

Yang Wenhao shook his head, feeling sorry for this body's original owner.

Such was the cruelty of the world, the woman he loved used him in the end.

This body's father had done so much for the Yang family, but his death was followed by indifference. Perhaps, in the end, human life was worth nothing!

The prior death of this body three months ago was even orchestrated by them!

"Damn, living like this is a joke!" he seethed. "Fine, from today, I will live on your behalf, ensuring your life shines brightly, stunningly!"

With a dismissive smile, Yang Wenhao slowly rose, looking at Yang Shoucheng, and other members of the Yang family.

"If you don't bother me, I won't bother you. But today, you aimed to kill me. Any goodwill left between us is now extinct!"

"The lamp goes out when someone dies. Such a family, I don't want any part of it! From today, I return to my father's original surname, becoming Zhang Wenhao. From now on, the Yang family has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

Yang Wenhao said forcefully. The family he despised now ignited in him a cold determination.

"Good, Yang Wenhao rebels against the family, he is to be everyone’s enemy! Wenchang, my clever nephews, kill him, cleanse our family!"

Yang Shoucheng shouted, a twisted smile on his face. This was the perfect excuse!

Upon hearing this, Yang Wenchang and Chen Minwen put up their fists in response.

"Rubbish, today, I will ensure you die a hideous death!"

"This is you walking to your death, blame no one but yourself!"

Nonetheless, facing their joint attack, Zhang Wenhao's face revealed a faint smile.

"Death? It's not decided who will die. I'll show you who the real waste is!"

As they two charged at him, Zhang Wenhao moved!
