At this moment, Evan Grant had already put on the Moon God Realm receiver, closed his eyes slightly, and quietly waited!

“Beep! Moon God Realm entrance opening, guiding spiritual energy...”

A refreshing female voice sounded softly in his ear. Then, under the guidance of some mysterious force, the spiritual consciousness floating in his mind followed a never-before-seen mysterious passage toward a world full of mystery and wonder. Even though he had yet to truly experience the profound secrets contained within that world, the vast, eternal, noble, and sacred aura was already surging along the frequency of his spiritual consciousness, leaving a deep imprint in the depths of his soul!

However, before he could truly enter that mysterious and sacred world along this passage, that faint feeling of guidance suddenly vanished. Immediately after, a somewhat urgent prompt sounded!

“Beep! Abnormality detected! Detected spiritual frequency does not match the bound user’s frequency. Suspected different user. Unable to enter. Moon God Realm entrance connection interrupted!”

“Beep! If the abnormality is due to the user, please adjust your mindset and stabilize your spiritual frequency before trying again. If the abnormality is due to the receiver itself, please contact the staff at the Moon God Hall branch for assistance!”

After two consecutive beeps, the voice from the receiver fell silent, and this technological artifact once again lapsed into stillness.

The spiritual frequency does not match the bound user’s frequency!

The answer was simple!

Because the soul residing in this body was no longer the original youth Derek, but a sword cultivator from 422 years ago—Evan Grant!

Chapter Five: Discharged from the Hospital

“Derek, why do you look so mentally exhausted? You... you don’t really think that with just third-rank strength, you could break through the first level of the Moon God Realm, do you? I’ve been a fourth-rank martial artist for over a year, and I still don’t have full confidence in breaking through the first level of the Moon God Realm and obtaining the one-star privilege. Why are you so impulsive?”

Rachel Derek frowned her delicate brows, her tone full of reproach!

Evan Grant shook his head!

In order to recover from his physical injuries as quickly as possible, he had spent almost all of last night constantly mobilizing the faint true qi within his body to stimulate cell regeneration, which naturally took a toll on his spirit.

The Moon God Realm receiver belonging to the original owner of this body—Derek—could not be used, but that didn’t mean he would give up. What he needed most right now was a healthy body, and only then could he start looking for a Moon God Realm receiver that hadn’t been bound, so he could enter the Moon God Realm himself.

“Really not?”

Rachel Derek looked at him in surprise, clearly very skeptical of his response!

“I didn’t enter the Moon God Realm!”

Evan Grant replied in a firm tone!

“You didn’t enter the Moon God Realm? Then what were you doing all night yesterday?”

Evan Grant shook his head!

His abnormal reaction made Rachel Derek a little unhappy!

Her brother had never been outstanding since childhood—not only was his martial arts talent mediocre, but he was also particularly inattentive during training, with extremely poor martial skills. Yet, he was very concerned about saving face, always wanting to meddle in everything, thinking he was the best in the world and that everyone should cater to him, as if the world revolved around him. Although his character couldn’t quite be called that of a spoiled rich kid, it wasn’t far off.

Yet, despite being so useless, their father still passed the Three-Star Honor Badge to him before dying, wanting him to shoulder the mission of reviving the family’s honor. She firmly believed that if she had inherited the family’s honor, not only could she have carried on the Three-Star Honor Badge, but she could have made that honor shine even brighter, allowing the Dong family to earn the Four-Star, Five-Star, or even Six-Star Badge...

Although she was very dissatisfied in her heart, she had no choice but to obey her father’s last wishes. As a result, she became much stricter with the already somewhat lazy Derek, and their relationship gradually became tense. Unless there was something special, it was strange if they didn’t argue at least once a day!

“Going against the current, you either advance or fall behind! Every night, entering the Moon God Realm to fight once, gaining some combat experience and improving yourself, is something all of us martial artists must do! If you skip even one day, you’ll fall behind others by a day!”

Evan Grant glanced at the youthful and beautiful girl, not knowing how to respond!

He couldn’t possibly tell her: Your brother Derek is already dead, I’ve taken over his body, and because our spiritual frequencies don’t match, I can’t use that Moon God Realm receiver to enter the Moon God Realm!

“What are you looking at? I’m talking to you! Derek, if you can’t strictly discipline yourself and break through the first level of the Moon God Realm before you turn twenty to inherit the family’s honor from the city lord, then just hand over our family’s honor badge to me! I can support you, and you won’t have to worry about your future! Think about it carefully!”

After saying this, Rachel Derek tidied up the empty bowls on the small counter and turned to leave.

“……”
