In 2009, the villas in the Fuhua Residential District were worth more than 20,000 yuan per square meter.

Wang Teng's family's villa was 800 square meters. It cost more than 10 million yuan to buy it. Including the renovations, it cost more than 20 million yuan.

The spacious living room entered the villa.

Two maids were cleaning the place.

Mother Wang, Li Xiumei, was busy in the kitchen.

She was born into a scholarly family and was a famous talent in university when she was young. However, she did not do household chores.

On the contrary, her culinary skills were superb. Her dishes were always praised by Wang Teng and Li Xiumei.

Therefore, Li Xiumei always cooked by herself. Every day, she would wait for her husband and son to come home to eat.

Looking at the busy figures in the kitchen, smelling the familiar aroma of food.

Wang Teng stood at the kitchen door. He opened his mouth and shouted after a long time.

"Mom, I'm back!"

"You're back!"

Li Xiumei turned around and smiled. "Wait a little longer. Your dad should be home soon. We'll wait for him to come home and eat together."

"Okay! I'll go wash my face first. "Wang Teng rushed upstairs and ran into the bathroom.

"This child! What's wrong with him today? "Li Xiumei shook her head.

In the bathroom, Wang Teng turned on the tap and let the cold water wash his face.

He was back!

He did not expect to have the chance to return home after ten years.

After the Wang family fell, Wang Shengguo was plotted against and died. Not long after, Li Xiumei also died of depression.

Wang Teng raised his head and wiped his face. He looked at himself in the mirror. His eyes were red.

Ten years had changed too much.

Wang Teng had changed. He was no longer the person he used to be. In his previous life, his heart had become as cold as steel.

However, in the corner of his heart, there were still a few soft spots. He just did not want to touch them in the past.

Wang Teng dried his face and walked out of the bathroom. Following his memory, he opened the door to his bedroom and walked in.

The familiar furnishings and everything were familiar.

There were posters of NBA stars on the wall. There were music discs and novels on the bookshelf. The study table was near the bed. There was a computer on the table.

The computer model was very new. It was an Apple brand. The bright silver body was light and fashionable.

Another item that didn't fit the timeline.

Looking at the computer, he suddenly thought of something and took out a phone from his bag. As expected, it wasn't an antique from 2009, but the latest iPhone 8.

Wang Teng was mentally prepared. He calmly entered the password and turned on the phone.

He was suddenly glad that he was a person who couldn't remember passwords. He had used the same password for so many years and had never changed it.

Meituan, Are You Hungry, WeChat, TikTok … Many of the apps had only appeared later and didn't exist in 2009.

When he had just been reborn, he still wanted to rely on the memories of his previous life to fight his way up and make Jack Ma, Brother Ma, and the other big shots sing 'Conquer' together!

Fine, it's hopeless now!

Exhaling, he put down his phone and turned on his computer.

Nothing is more convenient than searching online.

Computers and mobile phones had already developed to such an extent. There was no reason for the internet to be stuck in 2009.

Technology and the Internet were inseparable.

After turning on the computer, Wang Teng was a little surprised.

The operating system of the computer was not Win10, but the 11th generation.

It seemed that it was not completely the same level of development as 2019. There were still differences.

He familiarized himself with it for a while before he got used to it.

He opened the Baidu browser and searched for the word 'Martial Artist'. A large amount of information appeared.

After more than an hour, Wang Teng closed the browser and leaned back in his chair with a look of disbelief.

"30 years ago, spatial rifts appeared all over the world. The other side of the rift was connected to another world — Xingwu Continent!"

"The Force existed in Xingwu Continent. Everyone cultivated the Force to become a Martial Artist!"

"Martial Artists were incomparably powerful!"

"Low-level Martial Artists could split stones and cut water with their swords. High-level Martial Artists could destroy mountains and overturn seas …"

"This is too fantastical!

Wang Teng didn't know what to say.

Scientists on Earth had done research on the Force and found that it was very likely to be Dark Matter. However, they had no idea why the people, animals, and plants on Xingwu Continent could absorb Dark Matter to change themselves, but the creatures on Earth could not.

Not long after, with the appearance of the spatial rifts, the Earth seemed to have undergone some changes. The creatures on Earth were affected by the Dark Matter.

Plants became taller and lush, and some extinct species reappeared in the world.

The animals also became larger. Their physical characteristics, such as scales, sharp claws, teeth, and so on, were also strengthened.

Some gifted animals even mutated and gained special abilities of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

As the leader of all creatures, humans were naturally in the range of evolution.

Their bodies also became stronger. They could run faster, jump higher, and have greater strength. Their lifespans … also became longer!

Most of the old people 30 years ago who were in their seventies or eighties were still alive. They were already more than 100 years old, and their mental state was no different from that of 60 or 70 years old.

The people on Earth went crazy!

All the countries in the world put aside their previous grudges and held a global joint conference.

In the end, they decided to organize people to explore the spatial rifts. After confirming that it was safe, they sent soldiers and various experts to the Xingwu Continent.

These people were called the Pioneers!

The Xingwu Continent was vast and boundless. The Pioneers claimed to be from overseas to gain the trust of the locals and to communicate and trade with them.

The people on Earth did not invade barbarically. Instead, they adopted the principle of peaceful coexistence proposed by the Huaxia leaders and interacted with the natives of the Xingwu Continent in a gentle way.

Not long after, the Pioneers brought back the cultivation method of the Xingwu Continent.

After research and trial, the people on Earth could cultivate. In the end, all the countries unanimously decided to publicize the cultivation method and start the era of martial arts for all.

This was a major revolution!

From then on, history took a huge turn and developed in an unpredictable direction.

Here, the key points were marked on the blackboard.

The most powerful thing about humans was their intelligence. Through cultivation, humans rapidly strengthened themselves. In just a few years, a large number of powerful martial artists emerged from all over the world.

Some of these martial artists joined the military, some joined the government, and some belonged to various large financial groups and large families. They formed alliances. There were also some free martial artists who did not want to be restricted. Thus, they built various martial arts dojos to provide the commoners with a way to cultivate.

It was because of the existence of these martial artists that some powerful mutated beasts could be kept out of the cities and prevent them from causing large-scale damage to the civilized society.

However, being a martial artist was a profession that required talent. Not everyone could become a martial artist.

In order to become an official martial artist, one had to temper their body and build a solid foundation.

Cultivators at this stage were the so-called martial disciples.

Only with a solid foundation could one absorb the Force and store it in the body. That was the official martial artist.

If the Force was compared to water, the body was a container that held water. The process of absorbing the Force was like filling the container with water. Only by widening and tightening the container could it hold more water.

This was the principle of martial artists' cultivation in simple terms.

Martial disciples could be divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels according to their strength, speed, and other comprehensive physical attributes.

He Manrong, who he met at the school gate, was an advanced martial disciple. She was only one step away from becoming an official martial artist.

However, this step was difficult for many people.

There was a qualitative difference between absorbing and not absorbing the Force into the body.

An Official Martial Artist who had already cultivated the Force could fight against ten Advanced Martial Disciples who did not have the Force without any pressure.

The difference between an advanced martial disciple and an official martial artist seemed like a small difference, but in reality, it was like a chasm.

Moreover, the poor studied while the rich practiced martial arts. Martial artists needed large amounts of resources to cultivate. Resources were expensive, so ordinary people were at a disadvantage.

In short, in front of a large population, the number of martial artists was still in the minority. Most people were just ordinary people who were slightly stronger.

However, this did not stop martial artists from becoming the mainstream. The scarcity and importance of martial artists created their extraordinary status.
