King of Assassins

Chapter 422 Humility


In May, Golden City sees temperatures nearing thirty degrees as soon as the morning sun rises, with especially high humidity.

Gao Xuan stood on his balcony, gazing deeply at the distant buildings.

The skyscrapers built of reinforced concrete mostly have glass exteriors, featuring a simple and direct architectural style. Under the sunlight, the whole city gleams brightly.

Vehicles using internal combustion engines release large amounts of exhaust fumes. These fumes gather above the city, forming a massive cloud layer that hangs over the city sky.

As a result, the sky always has a yellowish tinge, never clear and refreshing.

Gao Xuan has been in this world for three days now. In these three days, he has gained a basic understanding of this new body and this new world.

This body is very young, only twenty-four years old this year. Practiced martial arts since childhood, but this person is lazy and indulgent, so their combat skills are mediocre. Even at twenty-four, he hasn't held a proper job.

In Golden City, martial arts gyms are everywhere, and the world is not peaceful; everyone needs to learn some martial arts to protect themselves.

On the other hand, joining a martial arts gym means having a master and fellow apprentices, which naturally forms a social circle. This is a way out for those at the bottom.

The place where Gao Xuan lives is on a suburban mountain, not a villa but a famous slum.

This slum houses nearly a million people. The entire Golden City has about four to five million poor people.

Looking down from above, extensive and simple wooden shanty houses stretch continuously, expanding in all directions.

These simple wooden shanty houses create a clear demarcation from the skyscrapers in the city's central region. The whole city is thus directly divided into two classes of wealth.

In the slum, once night falls, women and children can't go out. Even young and able-bodied men won't venture out alone.

Large groups of young men roam around in gangs in the darkness, like wolves seeking prey.

However, these people don't dare enter the affluent areas of the city. There, 24-hour patrols are armed and ready, shooting at ragged poor people at the drop of a hat.

To those in the slum, the prosperous city is a forbidden zone. They neither have the means to consume nor the capacity to live in the city, facing discrimination everywhere they go.

Even though the slum is part of Golden City, visible and invisible barriers harshly divide people into different classes by wealth.

The body in which Gao Xuan resides grew up in the slum. Fortunately, his father was influential, a small gang leader, so life wasn't too bad. But when he was in his teens, his father was killed in a gang conflict.

His life then deteriorated rapidly. But having a lazy and indulgent nature from a young age, he couldn't shake these habits. Even practicing martial arts, he only learned superficially and never put in hard work.

Thanks to some talent in martial arts, and his master Ma Boyuan being an old friend of his father, he received great care. This is how he safely grew up to this point.

Gao Xuan, having accepted the original memories, felt no sympathy for his predecessor's situation. If this person had exerted a little more effort, his life wouldn't be so bad.

Of course, standing out in the slum is also very dangerous. One wrong move and you could get killed. Perhaps drifting through life is somewhat better.

In three days, Gao Xuan fully tapped into this body's potential and incidentally fixed some of its ailments.

This person is actually at the golden age physically, having trained in martial arts for years, albeit not diligently. At a height of 1.8 meters and weighing 80 kilograms, with strong physique and decent muscle mass.

However, having smoked and drank heavily since childhood, his lungs are already compromised, and he has alcoholic liver disease. Though outwardly he appears strong, his internal organs are actually deteriorating.

Gao Xuan did not sense any special energy in this world; there is no Primordial Qi, no Source Power. His Spiritual Power is restricted; he can't travel outside, nor manipulate matter.

However, in his last world, Gao Xuan learned Blood-Born God.

Blood-Born God can completely act on the body, almost unaffected by external forces.

Even though Gao Xuan's Spiritual Power is restricted, he has no problem controlling himself.

Blood-Born God is about using formidable willpower to stimulate one's blood, leaving a spiritual imprint in the blood, giving the body extraordinary power.

Meditative practices in Buddhism and similar traditions are essentially attempts to control the body through the spirit.

The concept of Blood-Born God is not unique; the genuine brilliance lies in its specific cultivation methods.

Through this method, humans can gradually take control over their bodies.

Of course, a fundamental requirement is to have powerful Spiritual Power like Gao Xuan, a profound understanding of the body, along with enough experience and wisdom to complete this process.

Transmigrating into this body, Gao Xuan, with his strong spirit, seized control over it.

Through three days of cultivation, Gao Xuan has achieved 99.99% control over this body.

This means Gao Xuan can control the cellular level of the body. If he wants his lungs to recover, he ensures all abnormal cells die off, revitalizing the lungs to their optimal state.

Liver, heart, and all organs, Gao Xuan can consciously control.

Of course, this body can also passively complete energy absorption and transformation, and various complex processes.

In fact, if an ordinary person were given full control over their body, they wouldn't even know where to begin.

Take the simplest act of breathing, for example. Oxygen enters the airways into alveoli, enters the blood, circulates through the arteries, and expels the resulting waste gas again from the lungs...
