[Sheng Yi... Tomorrow, we're going to meet the male lead of this world. Are we going to prepare anything?]

"No. There's no need for it. The story plot you received from the world has become useless. We're at a timeline that's ahead of the story already."

[Ahead? How's that possible? I'm sure were at the time when the original Sheng Yi was forced to accept students...]

"Yes, but the male lead has already spent a lifetime experiencing all this. You'll see what I mean later at the ceremony."

The next morning someone came urgently to inform Sheng Yi it was time to attend the ceremony. Due to the special array set up, no one can enter the mountain peak without Sheng Yi's permission. Even the sect leader has a hard time dealing with it.

Getting ready to head out, the system flashed and rang an alert.

[Host! Something is wrong! I sense a strong and unnatural fluctuation in this world! It might've forcefully broken into the world and distorted space. You must be careful and weary of them!]

"Its the male lead."

[...] Did it malfunction because of the unexpected event? What male lead? You're not talking about our male lead, right?!

"He used an artifact to go back in time. Coincidentally, this is one of the many treasures he got from the original Sheng Yi."

He puts on the same mask again and teleports to the location on stage.

"I was starting to get worried you wouldn't show up to the ceremony this year again. Are you finally considering to take in a disciple?"

"Sect Leader knows me very well. If not for the promise, I wouldn't have shown myself."

The sect leader burst into a laughter. Everyone around was silent and staring at the only man daring to speak so casually.

"Indeed! In all the time I've known you, you've never broken a single promise. Well, since this is so rare, how about you be the first to choose."

"No matter which one you want to take as your disciple, I'll allow it and no one can argue."

"No need. None of them are up to my standards. They're all too weak."

The whole area is silent. Some began to get cold sweat from the indifferent stare of Sheng Yi's.

This year has already been known to be the best generation compare to the previous. But in Sheng Yi's eyes they were still not enough.

The sect leader and elders didn't know if his standards are too high and unrealistic or he's planning to raise a little monster that can shake the whole world.

Meanwhile the male lead below the stage and far away became restless when Sheng Yi appeared. Since his rebirth, his divine sense has been one of his secrets to help him get by.

Knowing when to fight and win or retreat when the enemy is too strong. So far he hasn't met anyone strong enough to be a threat.

If he pushes himself and take a risk of being a cripple, he could have a chance of dealing heavy damage to the sect leader who is suppose to be a strong opponent.

But the moment Sheng Yi appeared, his whole body froze and his mind went blank. Deep inside his soul, his sword was vibrating more violently by the moment and showed no sign of stopping.

He thought to himself, 'Impossible!'.

The first strong enemy he ever fought in his previous life was someone he could never have defeated at the time.
