“Blake, you’re finally awake.” The young girl sobbed, “Do you know how worried your sister was about you? If you had died, your sister wouldn’t want to live either, Blake, do you understand?”
“Uh, sister, I know.” Logan Walker hadn’t sorted things out yet, but he could feel the deep affection in the girl’s every gesture. Moved, he struggled to speak, “Sister, could you let go of me for a moment?”
Instead of letting go, the girl hugged him even tighter. She checked him all over, head to toe, and finally, after confirming that she was indeed holding a living, breathing person, she wept tears of joy. “Blake, you really came back to life! I’ll go find Father right away and tell him the good news!”
“Father?” Logan Walker’s head was about to split open. Why was there a father now? Logan Walker had been an orphan since childhood, adopted by a mysterious old man, with no parents of his own.
Could it be that the legendary time-space travel had happened to him?
Logan Walker sorted through the information in his mind and found some lingering memories. Suddenly, he realized that his soul had truly left his body and crossed over into another world, possessing the body of a young martial arts student.
The previous owner of this body was named Blake Carter, a martial arts student at the Martial Student Academy in Luojiang County. During a duel among noble youths, he was struck on the head with a blow the size of a bowl, and then… gloriously departed.
The delicate girl crying in his arms was Blake Carter’s older sister, Grace Carter. She was eighteen this year, exactly six years older than Blake Carter.
He wanted to keep reading those lingering memories, but the pain from the bowl-sized wound was unbearable.
To make matters worse, his sister Grace Carter was so concerned about her brother that she kept holding him and asking questions nonstop.
“Sis, my head hurts a bit. I’d like to rest for a while…”
Logan Walker still hadn’t recovered from the miraculous experience of being reborn in another body, and with his head throbbing, he just wanted some peace and quiet to sort things out.
“Mm, mm! You lie down for a bit.” Grace Carter nodded repeatedly, wiping away her tears. “I’m going to tell Dad, tell him you’re not dead!”
As she spoke, she stood up, helped her brother to the bedside, and assisted him in lying down, carefully positioning his wounded head facing up, letting him sleep on his side. Then she gently pulled the quilt over him, her beautiful eyes full of deep affection.
After all this, she reached out her delicate hand and stroked Logan Walker’s cheek, speaking with infinite tenderness: “Blake, have a good rest. Sis will be back soon. Don’t think about anything right now. The family’s problems can’t be solved in a day or two. If anything else happens to you, Dad won’t be able to go on, and neither will I.”
Although Logan Walker was not actually Blake Carter, he was moved by Grace Carter’s deep care and didn’t want to disappoint this thoughtful girl, so he nodded in cooperation.
After leaving the room, Grace Carter looked back at him with concern before gently closing the door.
The scent of his sister still lingered in his mouth and nose, and Logan Walker felt a strange sensation in his heart. Calming himself, he sorted out his thoughts and realized that he had indeed inherited Blake Carter’s body and been reborn in another world.
After organizing things, his new identity was roughly as follows:
Place of origin: Baiyue Kingdom – Chimu Territory – Nanyun Prefecture – Luojiang County – Donglin Town
Family background: Humble origins (third-class lower nobility, basically the lowest rank of nobility)
Main family members: Father, sister
Age: Twelve
Political status: Heir of the humble Qin clan
After figuring out these details, he also roughly understood the specific reason for the head injury. Here’s what happened: While studying at the Martial Student Academy in Luojiang County, Blake Carter got into a duel with another martial student over a matter of pride. He was struck hard on the head, leaving a huge hole, blood gushing everywhere, and died on the spot.
Logan Walker had simply taken advantage of this and gained this physical body.
It should be said that Blake Carter was not some ignorant, spoiled noble brat. On the contrary, he was a very diligent, sensible martial student. From his hometown of Donglin Town to the Martial Student Academy in Luojiang County, in terms of diligence, he was definitely among the top in the entire academy.
Due to the constant struggle for interests among the nobility, with all their scheming and plotting, he was often bullied by a group of noble youths at the academy, which ultimately led to this disastrous duel.
Logan Walker analyzed the information extracted from Blake Carter’s lingering consciousness, and the conclusion was obvious: this was clearly a setup.
In other words, this was not a spontaneous duel at all, but an organized, premeditated, and highly targeted act of persecution.
Although it’s said that one shouldn’t let a grudge last overnight, and a true man always seeks revenge, Logan Walker wasn’t in a hurry to dwell on these things. What he wanted most right now was to get a good, solid sleep and restore his depleted energy.
His head had taken quite a blow, and the injury was no small matter. Although Logan Walker had been well-versed in both internal and external martial arts in his previous life, with pure skills, now that he had a new body, all that was left was a belly full of theory.
He slept for a full day and night, during which he sensed his sister Grace Carter coming in and out at least ten times.
Each time, she tiptoed in, afraid of waking him, and seemed worried that he might die at any moment.
To keep this lovable and admirable sister from worrying, every time Logan Walker sensed her entering, he would turn over slightly to show that he was still alive.
