Chapter 1031

(Unedited)



A rainy day has befallen the small town of Ogden. The mud-filled main road of the town makes it hard for the town's folks to go around town. Many decided to stay in the taverns spending their time eating and drinking while they waited for the rain to pass.

Some could see children happily playing under the rain as if they truly enjoy the feeling of the rain falling on their little bodies.

The reason for this is because the rain carries a small amount of Ki which is not chaotic in nature. This small amount is not enough for the ȧduŀts to enjoy, but for children, it made them feel invigorated and energized.

Well, almost all the children feel this way in the small town except for one.

Inside a small hut, a worried father is pacing back and forth near the window of the small hut while watching a small sickly child lying on the soft bed. Beside the child, a town's doctor is checking his condition.

The way the doctor checks the child's condition is unlike that on earth. The doctor would use a small amount of his Ki to check the body of his patient by putting his hand on the patient's forehead.

This should be the norm. However, the sickly child on the bed is a strange case. This is because once the child's body is exposed to pure Ki he would immediately convulse as if his body could not take the small amount of energy.

Hence, the doctor could not help but refine his Ki into its tiniest form and slowly check the child.

He has been checking this child ever since he was born. And it has caused him a lot of headaches before. But because of the child's condition, he has learned to further harness his Ki and purify it to its maximum potential.

And because of this, his Ki level has increased a lot over the years.

"Hmm… He's been exposed to the rain alright… His body is still as weak as before…" the doctor suddenly said as he suddenly reversed his control and slowly absorbed the Ki inside the child's body.

Upon doing so, the child suddenly began to convulse.

"It's okay little one… Just hang in there, it would be over soon…" he said in a calm manner.

After a while, the child's breathing slowly calms down and upon seeing this, the doctor showed a faint smile on his face.

The father of the child who is pacing back and forth immediately showed a smile on his face and his worry seems to have vanished.

"Doctor Sun… Thank you… thank you so much!" the father said as he quickly takes out a few paper bills from his pocket.

Doctor Sun immediately shakes both of his hands to reject the man's offer.

"Xin Jong… I have been little Ja's doctor since he was born. After 5 years, the truth is, he is the one who helped me reach where I am today. Because of his special constitution, I have learned, improved, and advanced my Ki to level 3. So, you don't owe me anything. Whenever little Ja is sick, just look for me, okay?" he said while patting Xin Jong's shoulder.

Doctor Sun then left the small hut leaving the father and son inside.

Xin Jong could not help but tear up a bit.

It has always been like this ever since his son was a little baby. He is truly has a weak constitution. When he was born it was hard for him to breathe. He was struggling; the pain would always tear his heart apart.

But after 5 years, his son, Xin Ja has grown up. But his weak constitution is truly something that he never expected.

His body is weak, he would easily get hurt, and he can't play with others.

And because of this, he blames himself. He too is very weak. He could not even protect his own wife.

While thinking to this point, Xin Jong clenches his fist and shifted his gaze to the books on the corner of the table.

Although his son is feeble, he offset this with his intelligence.

From the age of 2, he discovers that his son is able to comprehend words and letters. He showed outstanding intellect and curiosity with everything around him.

And so, from that time forth, he began to buy books for his son. And he discovered that as his son grows, he showed maturity unlike that of his peers.

But the problem is, his son seems to be shy around people. Because of his feeble body, the kid is unable to be around anyone.

Any kid would be able to hurt him with just a push, and this has happened a few times already.

And so, he became a loner, a recluse, with only his books as his companions.

"Son… You get well soon, okay? Papa will buy you more books tomorrow…" he said with a smile.

"Ugh… Papa… My body is not hurting anymore. But you are hurting my hair…" the little boy said with his eyes still closed and a frown on his face.

"Ah… Sorry. I will make some gruel, okay? Are you hungry?"

The child nodded his head.

Xin Jong excitedly stood up and immediately walks to the dirty kitchen outside.



The little boy on the bed slowly turns around and then frowns as he opens his eyes. He seems to be looking in front of him, but his eyes are moving back and forth as if reading something.

Then after a while, he frowned.

"I am still as weak as ever… Sigh…" he said.

"I was only exposed to 2% of pure Ki from a raindrop and I became sick already... But I guess that's to be expected, right?" he muttered.

"Hmm… I wish I can go to school… that way I can learn more about this world called Myrth. And maybe, I can find out why my body could not absorb that energy called Ki." He thought.

He then began to wave his hand in front of him as if pointing at something in the air.

After some time, he slowly closes his eyes and his breathing began to show a rhythm.

But he did not continue and stopped immediately after feeling that something is wrong.

"Hmm… When will I learn how to use that skill called cultivation?" he thought.

Although Xin Ja is considered weak by anyone around him. No one knew that he is actually keeping a secret. And he noticed this secret when he was two years old.

In front of his eyes, he can see a weird screen that shows him a lot of things. And as he grows up he began to digest those things that he saw little by little. He began to learn about the world around him and at the same time his unique vision.

He once asked his father about the things he is seeing, and he discovered that he is the only one who could see them. His father showed a worried expression on his face and thought he is starting to hallucinate. And so, he decided to keep his unique vision a secret from anyone.

As the days goes by, he began to use his unique vision to his own advantage.

It seems that a person named Shin Jiao, which is supposed to be him has put this unique vision in his soul. And he can use this vision to help him grow and become stronger. But the problem is that there is a sit back. That person Shin Jiao, or him, did not expect that he would be given a weak body that is not even able to absorb any Ki, or Qi or something.

Xin Ja's train of thought was suddenly interrupted when his father enters the room with a bowl of a hot meal.

Before serving it to him, his father takes out a small piece of stone with engravings on it. Then he activated the stone and it quickly absorbs the Ki from the food. After a while, the Ki inside the food is already depleted and his father quickly served it to him.

Xin Ja has seen this many times and he would always show an amazed look on his face while watching it.

This is because he could actually see how the Ki in the food would be absorbed by that small stone.

After eating, Xin Ja rested and Xin Jong left the small hut to once again sell his wares in the market. Before leaving he gave a strict instruction that Xin Ja should rest and recuperate.

After Xin Jong left, the 5-year-old boy suddenly jumps out of bed and walks to the table.

The reason why he got sick a while ago is because of the rain. And the reason why he experimented on that droplet of rain is because of something that was written on the book on the table.

The book's title is… basic enchantment.
