While Wu Tian was exploring the system, a young servant girl hurriedly entered the room.
"Young master, I heard some noise from your room and rushed in when I saw you awake! I'm so glad!" The young servant girl beamed at Wu Tian, her face full of joy.
When Wu Tian saw her, his heart skipped a beat. What a beautiful and natural little lady!
She had a smooth, delicate face, long eyelashes, and eyes that sparkled with life. Although she wore a servant’s uniform, it couldn't hide her excellent figure. She was still young, and some parts of her body hadn't fully developed, but a few years from now, she would surely be an exquisite beauty.
Her name was Xiao Hui, and she had been taken in by Wu Tian’s master when she was young. She had worked as a servant for Wu Tian’s master and had stayed by Wu Tian’s side, taking care of him since he was a child. The two of them had grown up together, like childhood sweethearts.
Although Wu Tian had lost his cultivation and was now disregarded by the Qi Tian Sect, Xiao Hui still stayed by his side, caring for him. She was, without a doubt, the most important person in Wu Tian's life. Ever since his dantian was shattered, leaving him in a constant state of weakness, if Xiao Hui hadn't stayed by his side, whole-heartedly caring for him, he might not have survived.
Now, with Wu Tian inheriting the memories of this body, he felt an overwhelming sense of affection for Xiao Hui. In his previous life, Wu Tian was an orphan, but now, with Xiao Hui caring for him, his heart warmed. Whatever happened in the future, he was determined to repay her kindness.
"Sorry to worry you. I just woke up," Wu Tian said, giving her a smile.
Xiao Hui found it odd. Her young master, who had always been cold and distant, was now smiling so kindly at her.
However, Xiao Hui had no time to worry about that. She anxiously said, "Young Master, it's bad. Zhao Si is causing trouble again. He's already outside."
"Zhao Si?" Wu Tian furrowed his brows, and memories of Zhao Si flooded back into his mind.
Zhao Si was a servant of Qin Long, a disciple of the Qi Tian Sect. Qin Long was just an average disciple who had once dismissed Wu Tian when he was considered a genius, but ever since Wu Tian's fall from grace, Qin Long had been mocking and provoking him. In fact, Wu Tian's original body's death had been caused by Qin Long's kick.
"Young Master, we should leave quickly. Although Zhao Si is just a servant, he's a level-one martial artist," Xiao Hui said nervously.
"So what if he's a level-one martial artist? I'll see what he's really up to!" With the super kill system at his disposal, Wu Tian wasn't afraid of Zhao Si, a mere level-one martial artist. If necessary, he could just kill him in an instant.
Boom!
Just then, the door of Wu Tian's thatched hut was kicked open, and Zhao Si charged in.
"Little girl, you can't escape! Let's see where you think you're going!" Zhao Si leered at Xiao Hui.
He then walked toward Xiao Hui, intent on grabbing her.
Seeing this, Wu Tian was immediately enraged. How dare he act so arrogant on my turf? Doesn't he want to live?
"Zhao Si, what the hell do you think you're doing?!" Wu Tian shouted angrily.
Zhao Si halted and squinted at Wu Tian. "Oh, isn't this the so-called genius trash of Qi Tian Sect, Wu Tian? You fainted a couple of days ago, but you're up and about already. Tsk, tsk... your recovery ability is impressive. But Wu Tian, let me tell you something. When you were a genius disciple, I respected you. Now, you're just a useless waste, so stop acting tough. Move aside, or if my young master doesn't touch you, I'll help you loosen up your bones!"
Zhao Si then turned to Xiao Hui with a grin. "Xiao Hui, stop following this waste. He has nothing left, not even the ability to take care of himself. You’re better off with me. My young master, Qin Long, is incredibly talented. He'll surely become an elite disciple of Qi Tian Sect, and if you stick with me, I'll make sure you’re set for life!"
"Pfft! I’d rather follow my young master! Even if he's just an ordinary person, I’ll still follow him!" Xiao Hui was terrified, but she still said with anger.
Wu Tian felt a surge of emotion in his heart. This girl is truly loyal, and I’ll cherish her from now on.
"Hah! Even if you don’t want to listen, you’ll have no choice today!" Zhao Si sneered.
"If you dare lay a finger on Xiao Hui, I’ll kill you!" Wu Tian's gaze turned cold.
Zhao Si froze for a moment before bursting out laughing. "Ha ha! Wu Tian, you say you're going to kill me? What a joke. You’ve had your meridians severed and your dantian shattered. You're nothing but trash. And you, a piece of garbage, think you can kill me, a level-one martial artist? Ha ha, what a huge joke, trash!"
Now, in Qi Tian Sect, even the servants looked down on Wu Tian. Everyone thought he was a waste who would never rise again.
Even though Wu Tian had just crossed over, hearing such words still made him furious. His fists clenched tightly, cracking with a sharp sound.
"Angry? Tsk, tsk... I didn’t expect a waste like you to still have the strength to get angry. You're really something! Hilarious, though! Come on, try hitting me. Let’s see if you can even touch a single hair on me, trash!" Zhao Si taunted, waving his fingers at Wu Tian.
Seeing that Wu Tian was about to lose control, Xiao Hui immediately grabbed his arm. "Young Master, don’t! Zhao Si is a level-one martial artist. You’re not his match right now. He’s just trying to provoke you!"
"So what if he’s a level-one martial artist!? Today, I’ll kill him!" Wu Tian’s eyes burned with fury.
"Come on then. Let me see the power of the so-called waste genius," Zhao Si said with disdain, completely dismissing Wu Tian.
As soon as Zhao Si finished speaking, Wu Tian's body shot forward like lightning. Zhao Si sneered and said, "Slow! You’re too slow! You think with your moves..."
Before Zhao Si could finish his sentence, Wu Tian activated his super kill system. A flash of purple light streaked from Wu Tian's palm across Zhao Si’s throat, and Zhao Si's voice immediately cut off. The next thing he knew, he stood frozen in place, staring wide-eyed at Wu Tian in disbelief.
"Ugh..." Zhao Si gasped, clutching his throat, pointing at Wu Tian in shock. "You... why...?"
Boom! Zhao Si's body crumpled to the ground, struggling for a few moments before completely dying.
Ding!

Hearing the series of prompts in his mind, Wu Tian was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that killing Zhao Si would result in leveling up and getting a beginner’s gift package.
"Open the beginner's gift package." Of course, Wu Tian wasn’t going to waste it and opened the gift package with his mind.
Ding!
