The Azure Sword God
Birth Form

Shanghai

Staring at all the things about something he had never done written on a piece of paper made Jian Chen understand why everyone was looking at him with disdain.

Jian Chen's gaze turned to Zugong again and then tore apart the paper in his hand. He certainly understood that someone like Zugong was able to do that because one of the women who often brought him was someone related to Zugong, namely his mother.

Zugong came from a wealthy family in Shanghai. But he only had a single parent that was his mother which made him hate Jian Chen so much for always taking him somewhere.

With the appearance of Jian Chen who was very handsome even though he was 12 years old, anyone would not be surprised if something like that happened again if the one who brought her was Zugong's mother who was a widow and really liked to see handsome young men.

“You really don't know shame still dare to show your face in public,” said Zugong with a tone of hatred that almost no one detected. In fact, he was greatly astonished how Jian Chen could reappear after he along with some of his friends beat him to the point that Jian Chen's head almost broke.

Seeing Zugong's face already made Jian Chen's mood even worse. Especially after reading about him who is considered as a boy who already has a stray path. His reputation would definitely never be erased, and it was a very bad reputation.

Recalling about Zugong's mother, Jian Chen calmed himself down and then gave a small smile.

Seeing Jian Chen's smile, Zugong felt astonished. He had thought that Jian Chen had gone mad because of everything that was happening at this moment. Did we hit him too hard to the point of almost dying that he turned crazy?

“You can even smile? It seems that you really enjoy your new title,” Zugong said.

“Oh? Is that how you talk to your future stepfather? It was unexpected.when both me and your mother.” Jian Chen stopped his words while staring at Zugong's face that had already turned red and purple at any moment.

Jian Chen's words left all the children in the place dumbfounded. Even some of the adults who performed the resurrection ceremony heard what Jian Chen said because his voice was quite strong.

“You...!” Zugong looked at Jian Chen with enormous killing intent. Naturally no one knew about what his mother and the few other women raised Jian Chen. But, for Zugong, he certainly understood after seeing his mother several times carrying Jian Chen, the child he often oppressed because his residence was not far from the child shelter.

Some children were whispering in that place and did not expect that Jian Chen would dare to claim to be Zugong's stepfather. It was something that no one expected.

Zugong who was about to explode in anger, wanted to charge towards Jian Chen but came to a halt when someone's voice sounded from within the temple.

“If you guys want to fight, do it outside!”

The voice echoed around the temple which made Zugong slightly pale. But not for Jian Chen.

Knowing that this was not the time to deal with Jian Chen, Zugong held back. He did not want to mess up his resurrection ceremony which he thought would be extraordinary later. He did not want his reputation to be ruined just because of a weak boy named Jian Chen.

“After all this is done, you will know what I look like if I get angry!” Zugong said in a very cold tone then turned around and followed the queue.

After that, one by one the children then entered the temple building. Since this was already the second day the resurrection ceremony was performed, not many more children were left for her aptitude test.

The first day of the resurrection ceremony will of course be very crowded. And also, the influential rich families would first enter because of getting preferential treatment. For a child like Zugong will still be tested on the second day even though his family is quite rich. But it is not as rich as other families who take their children to the resurrection ceremony.

Not long after, Zugong's turn came. He was excited to enter the temple. Not until five minutes later, Zugong came out with a slightly grim face. Even so, he remained calm because of something unknown.

When passing by Jian Chen, Zugong spoke in a cold tone, “You better not follow the resurrection ceremony because you must have awakened something that became trash just like your title. And remember, be careful when getting out of this place.”

Jian Chen who heard what Zugong said only fell silent. Of course at this moment he was no longer the Jian Chen that was known by many people.

Although in his previous life he only lived until the age of 17 years, still it was considered an adult. He has been through a lot in his life as an orphan.

Although Jian Chen had always been lonely in his previous life, he had always been looking for something that could fill the void of his heart by learning things. Although he cannot be considered a genius, the advantage is that he does not want to give up when he has decided something and that is a plus for himself.

One by one the children began to come out of the temple. Not long after, the child in front of Jian Chen finally came out with an ugly face as well.

“Next!” A dignified voice sounded from inside the temple building.

Jian Chen walked straight inside. Upon reaching the room, he stared at a middle-aged man wearing all-white clothes. The middle-aged man put on a dignified-looking face and a special aura seemed to surround the middle-aged man.

“Hm? What is it?” Inner Jian Chen upon seeing the faint aura around the middle-aged man who was most likely the one who was testing the talents of all children.

“Stand in the circle made on the floor.” The middle-aged man's orders.

Jian Chen simply complied and threw away the thought of the strange aura.

“You must have known about cultivators, right? Before that I will introduce myself. I am Ku Zuo, someone who was sent to Shanghai to check the talents of all children,” Ku Zuo said.

“Ya, I know.” Jian Chen nodded small.

Ku Zuo nodded. It is also his job to tell everything even if he gets bored of having to do it over and over again every time a new child comes inside.

“Since you have already known the meaning of the word cultivator, then it is time to awaken the pent-up power in your body. This strength was one's willpower, spirit and high will that eventually created something that was already within his body from birth. And it was named as, Birth Form.”
