William Bennett's mind was shaken, his whole body icy cold. He looked around this pitch-black space, but saw no sign of anyone.

That voice seemed to come from the space itself.

“Is there truly a being in this world whose soul fluctuations resonate so perfectly with mine? Could this be destiny?”

The mysterious voice muttered to itself.

“Who are you, sneaking around!”

William Bennett forced down his fear and shouted loudly.

“To inherit the supreme divine power of my bloodline’s eyes, to rule for ages, to control eternity—fortunate youngster, don’t let me down…”

In the pitch-black space, a will that looked down upon all creation suddenly surged forth, then gradually faded away along with the voice.

Everything returned to calm…

Whoosh!

William Bennett let out a long breath. Before he could think further, a sharp pain shot from his left eye.

Inside the room.

The blazing sun shone in through the window.

“Ow… my eye.”

William Bennett cried out, clutching his red, swollen, and throbbing left eye.

At this moment, William Bennett had already woken up and returned to reality.

This was his own room.

William Bennett lay on the bed, with some charred marks still on his body, clearly having been struck by lightning.

Now, the intense pain from his left eye made him break out in a cold sweat, rolling around in the room.

Fortunately, as time passed, the pain gradually lessened.

“My eye…”

William Bennett looked worried as he slowly removed his hand from his left eye.

He couldn’t be sure if his left eye would ever see light again.

However, when his left eye met the first ray of sunlight, the intense, dazzling sensation made William Bennett breathe a little easier.

His left eye gradually adapted to the strong light, taking in the outside world.

What happened next left William Bennett stunned, rooted to the spot.

In that instant, the whole world seemed to be dyed in countless brilliant colors, becoming dazzling and vibrant.

In the vision of his left eye, everything became gorgeous, bright, and incredibly clear.

William Bennett could even spot tiny dust particles and droplets of water floating in the air—details far beyond what normal eyesight could perceive.

With a focused gaze, he could even see ants on a tree a hundred meters away, and the intricate patterns on the leaves.

“What’s going on? My left eye actually…”

Amid his shock, William Bennett couldn’t help but feel a hint of joy.

He was certain that his left eye had undergone some kind of mutation, becoming at least ten times stronger than before.

William Bennett took out a mirror and examined himself carefully: the size and shape of his left eyeball were not much different from before.

The only difference was that the center of the pupil was even darker and deeper than an ordinary person’s.

And when he fully activated his left eye, a faint blue sheen rippled across its surface.

These differences, though subtle, made William Bennett's heart race.

“Could it be… that mysterious eye has fused with my left eye?”

William Bennett felt both happy and worried.

After a while, he took a deep breath and walked out of his room.

“Feng’er, you’ve been unconscious for a whole day and night. You had your mother so worried.”

The Bennett Family saw her son safe and sound, and tears of joy streamed down her face.

“Mother, I’m fine! Maybe I even gained something from this disaster.”

William Bennett grinned.

But his expression quickly changed: “Wait! Did you say… I was unconscious for a whole day and night?”

“Yes, you were struck by lightning that day. The apothecary came to check on you and said it was just a temporary coma.”

The Bennett Family wiped away her tears, still looking a bit shaken.

As they talked, William Bennett's stomach growled, and he finally realized how hungry and thirsty he was.

“Come! Let me make you something to eat.”

The Bennett Family hurried off to the kitchen.

During this time, William Bennett kept using his left eye to observe things around him, faintly sensing that his body was undergoing some subtle changes.

The most obvious was his reaction speed.

“Bzz bzz…”

While eating, William Bennett's eyes locked onto a fly in front of him.

With his left eye, he could clearly track the fly’s flight path—not only could he tell its gender, but he could even see the fine patterns on its wings.

Swish—smack!

He instinctively swung his chopsticks.

Immediately, the annoying buzzing sound stopped abruptly.

Hahaha…

William Bennett looked at the fly he had caught and killed with his chopsticks, secretly delighted.

So satisfying!

It felt amazing!

Thanks to his left eye, William Bennett's reflexes and sensitivity far surpassed those of ordinary people.

After eating his fill, William Bennett felt energized and headed toward the training grounds.

He had a feeling that this mysterious mutation in his left eye might change his life…

The mutated left eye emitted a faint warmth, accompanied by a barely audible “thump-thump” heartbeat.

He didn’t know that, as the mysterious eye merged with him, his body and bloodline were undergoing changes.

At the training grounds.

William Bennett, as usual, prepared to practice his basic boxing techniques.

“Hahaha! William Bennett, you finally showed up. I thought you’d chicken out…”

A wild laugh came from the other side of the training grounds.

Crap!

William Bennett cursed inwardly, watching as the burly David Bennett strode over with big steps.

Only then did he remember yesterday’s “one-move challenge” with David Bennett.
