With continuous treatment, William Carter could barely move now. He propped himself up with his hands and sat up, opening his blood-soaked eyes!

“Damn your grandmother’s heavenly tribulation, I…” Once he saw everything in front of him clearly, William Carter could no longer maintain his resolute Daoist heart. He completely lost the demeanor of a tribulation-transcending expert and couldn’t help but start cursing out loud!

He ranted like a madman for quite a while, but in the end, it all boiled down to one thing: this was not the cultivation world he was familiar with at all!

But cursing was one thing—after he finished, William Carter still had to face reality… Just now, in order to restore this utterly broken body and, incidentally, repair about sixty to seventy percent of the Yangqiao meridian that determined whether he could cultivate, he had almost completely exhausted his last trace of celestial spiritual energy!

“A hidden illness of over a decade really can’t be cured all at once. If only I had a bit more celestial spiritual energy!” William Carter frowned and sighed inwardly.

This body was simply too badly injured. Although celestial spiritual energy at the tribulation-transcending stage was wondrously effective, William Carter had to use most of it to treat the severe physical injuries at hand, so he could only barely restore the Yangqiao meridian to about sixty or seventy percent of a normal person’s level.

However, William Carter wasn’t worried at all. With his peerless medical skills, as long as he had some time, he was sure he could make this meridian as good as new.

The complete recovery of his body and the gradual disappearance of the intense pain allowed him to sort through the large number of memory fragments that had just flooded into his mind.

The information in the memories was clearly incomplete and fragmented, but it was enough for William Carter to understand some basic facts about this world and his current situation.

It turned out that this aura-depleted planet was called Earth, and the country he was in was called Huaxia—a nation with a long history and a brilliant civilization.

“Oh, so these glowing things are called streetlights, and the buildings on both sides are called apartment blocks—they’re actually square! So this is called a road, and it’s pretty flat! Those metal shells running back and forth are called cars, and they’re so slow—how could they ever compare to my flying sword!…”

In this short while, a few cars sped by in the night, but the drivers ignored William Carter sitting in a pool of blood and didn’t even stop.

“Sigh… Looks like people everywhere are just as cold and heartless. Seeing me sitting here covered in blood, not a single car stopped to ask what was going on!”

William Carter had absolutely no awareness of how he was now covered head to toe in blood. He just sat there, propping himself up with one hand, one leg bent and the other stretched out, his body leaning back in a lazy posture, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, his eyes carrying a hint of mockery and disdain, as well as a trace of curiosity about this unfamiliar world, and started commenting with great interest!

“So the guy who got run over by the truck was also called William Carter!”

Now that he was more or less familiar with the new environment, William Carter finally began to consider the real problems he was facing.

According to the residual memories, William Carter knew that he—or rather, the original owner of this body—had just been killed by a heavy Steyr truck loaded with rocks.

Since he now possessed this fat body, he had to start adapting to his new identity. For someone who had risen rapidly in the cultivation world, running rampant, domineering, and ruthless—killing and seizing treasures at the drop of a hat—body possession was really no big deal.

Besides, the original William Carter had already died completely in the car accident.

William Carter, a student in Class 6, Senior Year 3, Qingshui No. 1 High School, Qingshui City, Jiangnan Province, eighteen years old this year, tall and fat, but naturally timid and cowardly, afraid of trouble, and as for his academic performance—it was an utter disaster.

“Last place in the first mock exam? With grades like that, you still dare to secretly have a crush on the class beauty? And you want to get into Yanjing University, the best in Huaxia? Even in your dreams, you should be a bit more realistic, right?” William Carter couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

“Three years of middle school, three years of high school, such a tall and mighty… cough, such a tall and fat body, and yet you were bullied and beaten almost every day? Dude, can’t you have a bit of backbone? Where I come from, I was always the one stepping on others—even late-stage Earth Immortals had to think twice before messing with me!” William Carter was instantly filled with exasperation.

“Your name is William Carter? It really doesn’t suit you. It’s much more fitting for me…”

That being said, William Carter also knew that having one of the eight extraordinary meridians—the Yangqiao meridian—crippled by a secret technique at birth was the main reason for William Carter’s wretchedness.

It was already a miracle that this William Carter had survived until now.

Thinking of this, William Carter couldn’t help but shake his head and give a bitter smile. What bad luck, to transmigrate into such a loser!

“Huh! Not bad, not bad. Although this guy’s grades were terrible, he was actually really interested in medicine and secretly learned so much medical knowledge!”

When he got to this part of the memories, William Carter was quite pleased—he’d finally found a point of commonality with the body’s previous owner.

“Always in the bottom three of the class, and your eyesight got so bad from nearsightedness… nearsightedness… right, where are my glasses…”
