Chapter 2

“Sigh, after finally pulling off such a flashy and badass transmigration, I never expected to ‘transmigrate’ to the wrong place and end up in the body of such a ‘loser’. Is this really my fate?” The “William Bennett” from Huaxia couldn’t help but open his eyes bitterly after receiving, analyzing, and storing all the memories of the unlucky William Bennett from “Zhao Kingdom”.

Originally, while piloting the Dongfanghong 100 spaceship and preparing to return to Earth from Mars, he unexpectedly encountered a black hole particle explosion. The black hole particles were unprecedentedly powerful this time, sweeping through the entire solar system. As a result, William Bennett could only watch helplessly as the spaceship was swallowed by the black hole.

After an unprecedented bout of dizziness, he woke up to find that, by some stroke of luck, he had actually experienced the trendy phenomenon of transmigration—and ended up in the body of another “William Bennett”, who was a total good-for-nothing. This guy had even abused himself to the point of being covered in blood, and in the end, tormented himself to death.

At this moment, a lingering resentment circled in the reborn William Bennett’s mind. William Bennett even saw a wisp of ethereal gray mist twisting above his head, refusing to dissipate. He knew this was the “resentment” of the body’s original owner, condensed into form.

“Don’t worry, I’ll fulfill the wish you couldn’t accomplish. After all, I’ve taken over your body.” William Bennett said in his mind, his attitude sincere and his will resolute. His tone was domineering, making it impossible not to believe him.

Of course, this was the personal charm of William Bennett from Earth. As a veteran astronaut, the first genius to pilot a ship beyond the solar system, he was as popular on Earth as movie stars and pop idols. In fact, many top-tier beauties would wait for three days and nights, surviving on instant noodles and bottled water, just for an autograph from William Bennett. Therefore, on Earth, William Bennett had another nickname—the King of the Universe.

Uh...

William Bennett seemed to hear a faint “response”, and the gray mist gradually dispersed. Instantly, William Bennett’s previously muddled mind became crystal clear. His spirit felt ethereal, as if his consciousness had just been cleansed by some treasure.

Knowing that the unlucky soul had completely “departed”, William Bennett was about to get up from the ground and return home to apply medicine and heal his wounds. At that moment, his whole body suddenly began to shiver as if he had a severe chill.

Moreover, the trembling grew more and more intense. William Bennett was dumbfounded, because his muscles were violently contracting and expanding, and his skin was undulating like waves across his body. It was as if his skin had become the surface of the sea, and his muscles were the force driving the waves.

This condition was somewhat like the onset of an epileptic seizure.

Damn it, no way. Could this guy really have epilepsy? How am I supposed to deal with that? William Bennett’s heart surged with wild waves.

However, in the next moment, William Bennett calmed down. As a veteran astronaut, with a wealth of space experience in his previous life, William Bennett had a mind as steady as a rock.

William Bennett decided to wait and see. If this unlucky guy’s body really did have epilepsy, he’d have to find a way to cure it.

Soon, he discovered that the blood covering his body from the original owner’s abuse was actually being absorbed by his skin and muscles. Before long, William Bennett clearly felt the blood vessels inside his body pulsing violently, like rubber bands bouncing up and down in a child’s hands.

Soon after, his muscles vibrated with his blood vessels, and the vessels quivered. Not long after that, all his pores opened, and a surge of pure heaven and earth energy flooded in. That pure energy rushed into his body and circulated along his meridians.

William Bennett couldn’t help but circulate his qi with all his might, trying to activate the Ye family’s ancestral technique—Qingmu Gong.

This technique was the most basic breathing method of the Ye family. It formed nine cycles within the body, and after nine cycles, the energy would be guided into the blood vessels, enhancing the power of the bloodline. Finally, the bloodline energy would gather at the heart, which, for blood cultivators, became the dantian.

However, what shocked William Bennett to the core was that he simply couldn’t cultivate the Ye family’s “Qingmu Gong”. Instead, the heaven and earth energy absorbed through his pores by the vibrating bloodline was actually flowing in reverse.

Moreover, it was running through his meridians in an irregular pattern. This phenomenon was a bit like what the old man called “reversing the meridians”, a sign of imminent qi deviation, which could result in total chaos of the meridians—at best, crippling disability, at worst, death by bodily explosion.

But, as a veteran astronaut in his previous life, William Bennett had weathered all kinds of storms.

After a moment of panic, William Bennett quickly calmed down and observed. Since the heaven and earth energy wasn’t following the Ye family’s technique after entering his body, forcing it would only backfire and might really sever his meridians and leave him crippled. How would he then conquer all the beauties of Zhao Kingdom and rule the world? So, it was better to let things take their course. William Bennett simply stopped circulating his qi, relaxed his entire body and mind, and let things be.

With this mindset, William Bennett became even more composed—a classic case of “a dead pig isn’t afraid of boiling water”.

As a result, without resistance, the flow of energy actually became much smoother. After an hour, William Bennett noticed something unusual. It seemed that the seemingly chaotic and wild flow of energy actually had a pattern.
