Chapter 3: The Youngster's Background and PP Collection!

  The young man lay quietly by the pool, as if asleep, but in his mind a series of images were unfolding, all the things he had experienced from the moment he had memory until the moment of his death.

  The young man's name was Yang Feng, sixteen years old this year. He was a member of the Yang family, the largest ancient martial arts household in Huaxia, but he was born out of wedlock. Before Yang Feng turned ten, he didn't even know who his father was. He had always lived with his mother in a Miao ethnic minority village in the southwestern mountains of Huaxia, where there were only two or three hundred people.

  Yang Feng's mother was a Miao woman, and she was also the daughter of the head of the Miao tribe. It could be said that in such a small mountain village, becoming the grandson of the tribal chief should have been something to be envied, but the reality was just the opposite! When Yang Feng was young, he received cold stares and disdain from everyone in the village because he had no father, he was a wild child.

  In a Miao village like this, a child without a father is fundamentally unrecognizable to the Miao people, even if he is the grandson of the tribe's leader. There will be no special treatment, so Yang Feng has been bullied by other children in the village since he can remember.

  However, Yang Feng didn't mind such bullying too much because he had a mother who loved him dearly, and that was enough. The two of them lived happily together, but Yang Feng's mother, who had given birth to him out of wedlock, was ostracized by the people in the village, and his maternal grandfather, the village chief, also announced that he would cut ties with her. As a result, Yang Feng could only move away from the village with his mother to live in a nearby mountain.

  Although leaving the mountain village made life more difficult, Yang Feng did not feel any unhappiness. He thought that as long as he was with his mother, no matter what time or what kind of life, it was all happy. Occasionally, he would ask his mother why he didn't have a father, and at this time, his mother would silently shed tears. Every time Yang Feng saw his mother cry, the young boy knew that his mother also missed her own father very much. At this time, Yang Feng's heart would resent his father for not coming to see his mother and himself!

  But Yang Feng's happy days with his mother ended when he was ten years old, because his young mother fell ill and passed away. At that time, Yang Feng's mother was not yet thirty years old, but the hardships of raising Yang Feng for many years had made her look like a fifty-year-old in decline. When Yang Feng's mother passed away, Yang Feng fainted several times from crying painfully!

  But no matter how sad it was, it was impossible to bring his mother back to life. At that time, Yang Feng, who was only ten years old, buried his mother by himself. No one in the mountain village knew about it, and he wouldn't go tell anyone either. He had originally wanted to stay by his mother's side forever until he died too, but soon after his mother's death, he was taken away!

  The person who picked up Yang Feng said he was sent by his father, and this sudden change left Yang Feng at a loss, and he was taken to the Yang family in a daze.

  The Yang family is the largest ancient martial arts family in Huaxia, and it is said that it already existed at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. After going through many dynasties, it still exists, which can explain the strength of the Yang family. The ancestors of the Yang family are said to be Yang Guo, who was called the Divine Eagle Hero at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. However, the founder of the ancient martial arts Yang family is not Yang Guo, but his son.

  The headquarters of the Yang family is indeed located in Tongtai Mountain, where there is now a very large manor. Behind the manor, there is a forbidden place, which is said to be the ancient tomb where Yang Guo and his wife Xiao Longnu first met. The deceased members of the Yang family will be sent to the ancient tomb, and the elites of the generations will also be sent to the ancient tomb to learn advanced martial arts!

  The Yang family's traditional martial arts have many, but the most powerful are the Dugu Sword Manual and the Nine Yin Scripture. These two skills can only be practiced by the direct descendants of the family, and even a bastard like Yang Feng does not have the opportunity to see them.

  In the country of Huaxia, there are several other ancient martial arts families, such as the Guo family, which is second only to the Yang family in terms of ancient martial arts. The ancestor of the Guo family was Guo Jing, who guarded Xiangyang and stopped the Mongols from invading, but it was not him who founded the Guo family, but his son Guo Polu. Their family's traditional martial arts are the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms and the Dog Beating Stick Method, of course, they also have the Nine Yin True Classics.

  However, the Guo and Yang families have been intermarried for generations and are inseparable. They often make joint progress or retreat together in many matters, so their alliance basically controls most of the economic lifelines of the Huaxia Kingdom, with extremely extensive connections in both business and political circles.

  There are also some ancient schools, such as Shaolin, Wudang and Emei, which are the most powerful schools. However, the founder of the Emei school is Guo Xiang, the sister of Guo Pu, the creator of the Guo family, so it is naturally closely linked to the Guo family. It is said that Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang, has a very deep connection with the ancestors of the Yang family, so the relationship between Wudang and the Yang family is also very close!

  Coming to such a big family made Yang Feng feel very uncomfortable, but because of the pain of losing his mother, he urgently needed to get his father's care, so he still chose to stay. Originally thought that in such a family, he could get some warmth, who knew that what he got was more hurt!

  The current head of the Yang family is called Yang Lie, he has two sons, one named Yang Guang and the other named Yang Ming. And Yang Feng's father is Yang Ming! Both Yang Guang and Yang Ming are candidates for the next generation of family heads, so their competition is also extremely fierce.

  After Yang Feng came to this family, he also understood the reason why he was brought here. That is, Yang Ming still had no son, only a daughter, and Yang Guang already had two sons. In this way, Yang Ming had no advantage in the competition for the head of the household.

  Yang Ming was actually a playboy, who had left his mark everywhere. If it weren't for the crucial moment of the family's competition, he wouldn't have sent someone to investigate whether those women with whom he had relationships had left him any sons, and therefore would not have found Yang Feng!

  Yang Ming and Yang Feng's mother had only known each other for a few days, when Yang Ming happened to be traveling in the southwestern mountainous region and coincidentally met Yang Feng's mother at a Miao village. It was during those few days that Yang Feng's mother fell irreparably in love with Yang Ming, dedicating everything to him, while Yang Ming later simply made a promise to return for her before disappearing!

  Yang Feng knew that he was brought into this family just to be a pawn for Yang Ming to compete with the head of the household, but he didn't care. What he wanted most now was Yang Ming's paternal love, but reality had let him down!

  Yang Ming stopped caring about Yang Feng after bringing him back to the Yang family, and even rarely spoke to him. As a result, there was no fatherly love to speak of. Moreover, because Yang Feng was born out of wedlock, he suffered discrimination within the family. The young Yang Feng often received insults and bullying from the legitimate sons in the family.

  Especially Yang Ming's daughter, she couldn't stand Yang Feng at all. She often bullied Yang Feng with other children in the family, and would frequently beat him until he was covered in bruises. However, Yang Feng endured it all, his reason for tolerating this treatment being that he didn't want to leave his father, even though his father showed no concern for him whatsoever!

  In order to attract Yang Ming's attention, Yang Feng made every effort to show himself in all aspects. Although he was not a legitimate child and could not learn the family's ancient martial arts, children of ancient martial families also had to go to school. So in this regard, Yang Feng deliberately showed off his skills. No matter what knowledge it was, he could understand it by reading it once, and even recite it from memory. Therefore, his grades were naturally the best in the family!

  But this only made the other children in the family more hostile towards him, and they bullied him even more cruelly. Yang Feng endured all this, hoping that his father, Yang Ming, would notice him. However, six years have passed, and Yang Feng is now 16 years old. Apart from being humiliated within the family, he has gained nothing. His father, Yang Ming, hasn't noticed him once, because in these six years, his first wife finally gave birth to a son, so naturally, he wouldn't notice Yang Feng's existence!

  However, Yang Feng's humiliating tolerance has brought about today's pursuit and killing, and the reason for pursuing him is that Yang Feng is too excellent! The current head of the family, Yang Lie, should be Yang Feng's grandfather in terms of blood relationship. Some time ago, he announced that the next generation of family heads would be chosen from among Yang Feng's younger generation, rather than between Yang Guang and Yang Ming!

  Such a decision naturally led to the competition being directed at Yang Feng and his generation of family children. At this time, Yang Ming finally remembered that he had a son named Yang Feng. After careful examination, he discovered that Yang Feng was so excellent that he would inevitably affect the position of his newly born son as the head of the household. Therefore, it was only natural for him to choose to abandon Yang Feng!

  Then the scene of pursuit and killing at the beginning appeared, if Yang Feng hadn't secretly learned some skills when those family children practiced martial arts, and had achieved some results through his own secret hard work, he wouldn't have been able to escape here under the pursuit of those two family loyal servants.

  Yang Feng ultimately died at the hands of those two loyal servants, but now he has mysteriously come back to life, and a legend begins to unfold!
