Aurri, the martial master, went onto the rooftop of his grand summer villa. With his otherwordly talent, it isn’t an exaggeration to say that he’s the most famous on Earth right now.

Just by showing his face in a commercial, money would flow into his bank, not to mention all the other commercialized stunts made him.

Although his wealth couldn’t be compared to those who own world-renowned companies, he sits in the top 1% worldwide in terms of money. Seeing all the expensive stuff he owns, Aurri who has a new perspective shivered in euphoria.

“I can’t believe a mere seventeen years old boy can own all of this. As expected of the strongest me!”

The surroundings were the refreshing lush of nature. Mountains stood everywhere but none of them blocked the slightly cold breeze that rejuvenates the soul. The right temperature of the afternoon sunlight made the scene so perfect.

“... no.” Aurri shook his head. It’s not just the environment that makes him feel so light and positive, it’s due to his physique as well. The body does influence the mind.

Feeling energetic, Aurri effortlessly made a frontflip, and again, to which he landed on his arms and executed a series of moves akin to breakdance but much slower. Yet, even with these seemingly uncomfortable movements and positions, Aurri didn’t break a single sweat. His body stayed firm and stable.

The only reason for his rushed breath was excitement.

What an unbelievable body! Not just strength but its sense of balance, coordination, and flexibility were top notch too! What a godly feeling!

After playing around a bit, Aurri finally began his main purpose. It is his consciousness that visited this body. Once he returns to Eimterra, he wouldn’t be able to bring this body’s physical properties. What he could bring through our skills and experience!

Immediately, Aurri used to original owner’s memories to think of the strongest martial arts known to him.

Currently, most experts regard MMA, or Mixed Martial Arts, to be the strongest form of a martial art because, as its name suggests, it encompasses more than just one martial art. a

But what he got after briefly scouring through the memories surprised him. The Greatest Martial Master thinks that none of the existing martial arts is the strongest. That’s right, none of the existing, and that’s because he had created his own!

Such talent!

Aurri was stupefied. Not only did this body excelled most forms of martial arts but also created a complete one that could easily top the others. It’s like MMA but encompasses more forms. Rather than being contradicting, the Martial Master created a perfect balance between all the strong points of all martial arts. He calls it— Supreme Arts!

Aurri immediately practiced it and found its profundity greatly interesting. Each thrust of his fist would either create a shockwave that’s as clear as day but when necessary, the thrust becomes as silent as the night as if there’s the absence of wind.

He never knew that a mere set of moves would be so complex and beautiful at the same time. Thinking about how he fought with his pure brawn back then, Aurri felt a little shameful. Compared to the martial master, Aurri is just a mindless thug.

However, soon enough, fatigue overwhelmed Aurri’s entirety. It wasn’t surprising even with a great physique like what Aurri has right now.

“I can’t stop repeating how this guy is such a genius! Is this really me in another universe? Even with such a strong body, it is not enough to utilize the full potential of Supreme Art’s first technique, Peak Mountain Fists!”

After a few sets of breathing techniques to regain his strength, Aurri went back to practicing. As if he had turned into a crack addict, he didn’t realize that hours flew by until his stomach desperately tried to grab his attention.

His hardboiled muscular body which was lean and bulging at the same time was drenched in warm sweat. If anyone was near him right now, they would be sweating from the sheer temperature he was exuding.

Calling Doctor Lang, he asked for the best food for him right now and the doctor obliged. Even during rest, Aurri didn’t stop practicing as he found that this Martial Master even created his own breathing technique!

When will this guy stop surprising me!?

Aurri couldn’t get used to it. The more he learned, the more he understands the complexity of each technique that he executed. He was bewildered by each action he made the more he practiced it. How can such godly techniques exist!? With this new form of martial art, even the world’s famed grandmasters would kneel just so they can learn this if they knew this.

However, from what Aurri can infer from the memories, this Martial Master had yet to reveal it. He wanted to refine it to perfection first before he makes it public.

Aurri wanted to curse out loud. This is not good enough for you!?

The unfortunate thing about this Martial Master is that he is still a mortal. No matter how strong he is, it doesn’t seem like he would be able to utilize the full potential of Supreme Arts…

With that thought, Aurri went back to training and after a few hours passing by again, he suddenly felt drowsy as he could hear a bell ringing.

But that’s weird. Am I imagining things? According to the memories, there aren’t any bells at this place—

“Children, wake up! Wake up, wake up, sleepyheads!” the caretaker entered the room where ten double-decked beds were split into two rows opposite each other.

Seeing the children sitting up and getting off their beds, the caretaker went to the next room. Meanwhile, Aurri just opened his eyes, baffled.

“What?”

Arriving at the dining room, Aurri met up with Luca for breakfast. While eating, Luca noticed something and asked, “Are you okay?”

“Huh? What?”

“Nothing, it just looks like something’s bothering you.” Luca conjectured.

“Really? Maybe it’s because breakfast is delicious today.”

“Isn’t this the same soup and rice we always have?”

Met with Luca’s raised eyebrow, Aurri just shook his shoulders, “I dunno, tastes delicious to me.”

Coincidentally, the caretaker who cooked the breakfast, Roise, heard it and was suddenly filled with pride. I can make a normal soup and rice delicious!

But Luca was right, Aurri is bothered by something.

Although he just Quantum Leaped last night, it felt like the memories he gained were distant and almost like a dream as well, slowly fading.

He remembered who the body he possessed was. Aurri also remembers how he practiced the martial arts that Martial Master created called Supreme Arts like there’s no tomorrow! However, that’s the extent of his memories. He knows that he practiced by what and how he practiced it… Aurri couldn’t recall a single bit.

It felt like it was such a waste. Yet, at the same time, it felt fair. If he remembered everything, he would turn into a great martial artist overnight and that sounds too good to be true.

Everything is equal… Aurri repeated in his head. After pondering about it, he had made a conclusion. What he gives is what he gets.

Now, to figure this out, the question isn’t what he can give but what he will get. Aurri’s consciousness only possessed the body. The only gain he’ll have is the memories. In other words, he has to give the Martial Master memories as well…?

The longer Aurri thinks about it, the more it sounds logical. It shouldn’t be just ordinary memories then, he should give the Martial Master ‘good’ memories so that he will get the ‘good’ memories in return!

For Aurri, the ‘good’ memories include Supreme Arts and Immortal’s Revival Breathing Technique. Hehe...

At that moment, Aurri heard a clear voice belonging to a girl.

[Stink bug, I know you can hear me. Come take me out of this dark place!]

At first, Aurri was confused before recalling the pompous talking book. He had forgotten about it because of Quantum Leaping!

“Ah, my stomach!”

Aurri suddenly bellowed with a pained expression as he held his stomach.

“Aurri!?” Luca stood up, worried.

“My stomach hurts! Must be the food! I need… toilet!”

Aurri then sprinted away after causing a small scene. Miss Roise, who was filled with pride, froze.

So, it wasn’t because of her cooking but because something else is in his food?

Rosie had her little pride from earlier shot down. Luca had the same thoughts as her. But the question is… why is Aurri’s food different from others?

Mischievous laughter coming from Flip and his friends then reached their ears. When Flip, Giel, and co noticed the two’s stares, their faces paled.

Wait, wait, we’re seriously innocent this time! We were just laughing at Aurri but we didn’t do anything!

They wanted to claim their innocence but with their history of bullying and lying about bullying, who would believe them?

“Detention!!” Roise roared at them. Without any resistance, the group once again spent their day in detention. They blamed Aurri for this. Their anger towards him rose.

Meanwhile, Aurri took the book under his pillow and ran into the bathroom, oblivious to the misunderstanding he caused.

[I was in that dirty pillow all this time!? You!!]

Aurri rolled his eyes and was just glad that others cannot hear this annoying bickering. Arriving at the toilet, Aurri made sure no one was around before asking;

“What’s wrong with you? You suddenly went quiet.”

[What’s wrong with me!? You showed me something so disgusting that I fainted!] the girl’s shouts were filled with enmity, [But luckily, I’m the super duper star genius of the Celestial Zenith Empire. I’m able to calm myself.]

“You don’t sound so calm to me…” Aurri didn’t hide his comment from the girl

[Grrr!]

“...”

[Tsk! No, yes, it’s my fault that I haven’t introduced myself even though I know that you’re just an ignorant mortal so it’s natural that you don’t know your place. I was just not in the mood earlier since my parents forced me into cultivating this Overlord Scripture even though I clearly don’t want it!]

Aurri was pleased to hear that the girl know how not to shout.

[Listen, mere mortal, I don’t like repeating myself. My name is Celestia Croix Angelie, the Imperial Princess of the Celestial Zenith Empire!]

“... I see.”

[??? That’s just your reaction?]

“Uhh…” Aurri scratched his cheek, not knowing what reaction the girl expects from him.

[D-don’t tell me you don’t even know the Celestial Zenith Empire? The strongest faction in the universe!? The true ruler of every living being!? Are you seriously telling me that some idiots don’t know the great name of Celestial Zenith?]

“... yes. Are they strong?” Aurri felt the frustration of the girl.

[...] Angelie calmed herself once more, alleviating her headache, [Now, you’re just playing with me. Luckily for you, I still don’t have any physical manifestation using the Overlord Scripture or I’ll beat you to death!]

“Hm, what even are you?” Aurri has been meaning to ask this. In his view, she is like an alien with different physiology, not knowing what a booger is, and what culture. Though, interestingly enough, she speaks the same language.

[Hmph! I’m human but not like you. I’m an Immortal! I’ve reached a cultivation realm that you could not even dream of.]

“Cultivation…?”

Searching through his memories, he found that it’s the process of strengthening oneself. The original owner still hasn’t been taught properly as he is just seven.

[N-no… y-y-you don’t even k-know what cultivation is?] Angelie is thoroughly shaken. She knows that this little kid is weak at first glance but to not even know what cultivation is… Is that even possible?

For Angelie, cultivating is the same as breathing. Not knowing what cultivation is like not knowing how to breathe.

[So, you people are real. I really am at the weakest place in the cosmos. To think that there are those who don’t know cultivation.] she muttered to herself while she ‘looked’ at Aurri as if he’s a mythical creature, [Fine, I guess I have no choice but to be done with this Overlord Scripture so that I can return to my original body.]

“So, you have an original body.”

[Of course! I’m at the Solar Spirit Realm already-… do you even know what that is?]

Aurri shook his head with a bitter smile.

[Hayss… from being a Mortal to an Immortal, there are three realms to break through: Physique Establishment, Inner Qi Foundation, and Spirit Formation. Each realm has nine stages and depending on your talent, you might or might not have a bottleneck in between. The logic is that you have to strengthen your physical body first to handle the absorption of Natural Qi, turning it into Inner Qi. Are you listening? I’m explaining all of this to you.]

Aurri nodded with a serious expression.

[Good. Once you have enough Inner Qi, you’ll use it to connect, acquire, and integrate your Spirit into your body which is the Spirit Formation Realm. Now, before becoming an Immortal, there’s something called a boundary realm separating a Mortal from an Immortal, the Evolutionary Boundary. Beyond that are the Immortal Realms and you do not need to know them with your current state. However, I’ll tell you this, I’m at the Solar Spirit Realm, the initial cultivation of Immortals. Although I’m just starting as an Immortal, never underestimate me. As the name suggests, my Spiritual Energy is equivalent of that to what a star has. Do you now understand the disparity between you and my original body? No, not just you but if I get near your world, Eimterra, and released some of my qi, it would crumble.]

A deep frown revealed itself on Aurri’s face. If Angelie is not lying then she truly is strong. So strong, in fact, that her being so high and mighty is natural. In front of her, he’s lesser than an ant.

‘Seeing’ Aurri realized the reality of the situation, Angelie was satisfied and continued.

[You are very fortunate. Although rude, I’m willing to give you an opportunity. Become my subject and not just a mere Physique Establishment Realm cultivator but you can even become an Immortal like I am! Just say you agree and pledge your name to me, Celestia Croix Angelie!]
