Martial Hero Rebirth

How beautiful Hangzhou is in March. Snowdrops are blooming along every road, trees are covered with countless buds, foreshadowing lush foliage, and a deep river full of boats with locals and tourists rushes along the outskirts of the city..

Lin Yi watched this from a great height and felt nostalgic. Once upon a time, just like these tourists, he came to Hangzhou every March to sail around the city with a couple of friends.

How many years have passed since then? How long ago did he move from the game to life? Seventeen? Eighteen years ago?

He forgot how beautiful this world is. He moved forward every second, never allowing himself to look around. Martial arts and that alone, nothing else mattered.

Shaking his head, his gaze returned to the beautiful lake to the west of the city. It was as deep as his worries.

Sighing, he merged with the crowd and went to the building in which the discussion of the division of territory with the Lu, Yuan, and Wang clans was taking place..

Here he saw Wang Yuluo for the first time.

Immediately after defeating forty-nine city lords in a row and killing the Eagle Mountain bandits. Then he felt as if the whole world had already bowed before him. They talked and laughed. Heroes of these lands.

How stupid that was. What was the significance of this small town? What's so special about him becoming the leader of the Five Mountain Swords??

In the end, it turned out that he was just the head of a small village. A small island not worth anyone's attention. Compared to Kyushu, their entire island had no meaning.

Shaking his head and grinning, Lin Yi entered the building that now served as a restaurant..

He ordered himself some good wine and food.

At each table the latest news was discussed, someone talked about someone's victories and achievements, and here and there there was praise for all sorts of names. None of which Lin Yi heard.

It was so strange. Only six years had passed and he could not recognize a single name!

As if only memories remained of the world he knew. He was like a hermit who had lost touch with the world and was drinking alone.

With each overheard dialogue, he moved further and further away from this world....

Until I got completely drunk.

“Yes,” the voice drawled, “it seems that just recently the supreme experts were like dirt. Remember then the Sword God cut them down one by one, one by one! What a shock! And now... not a single supreme figure in all our lands. It's kind of sad, damn it. Count how many years nothing has happened...”

Lin Yi raised his head and listened.

“And who needs our island when there is Kyushu? There, they say, the supreme experts are like uncut dogs. And good, in general. Maybe it’s boring now, but you don’t have to worry about your life every day.”

“Well, well. I was a mercenary, an honorable profession, but now I just drink away my money. No one fights with anyone, no one crosses anyone’s path. They sit, suck the energy of the world, and go somewhere else. In life.”

“So you become the supreme expert, and get out. Eternal life looms on the horizon, and you still hold on to our island.”

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. He feared that the impeccable experts had killed everyone he knew to take over, but instead, it seemed they had left, as had all the supreme experts of the Golden Gate.

After listening more, he learned that the Five Mountain Swords still rule the righteous lands, but with the note that there are simply no other sects left. Conflicts still flared up periodically, but essentially everyone in the Golden Gate joined their sect and practiced martial arts exclusively, not sharing power..

He was only worried about the first few days after the invasion. Who else were those five hunting??

Allowing the supreme expert's aura to flow throughout the building, he turned to the man who was complaining about too calm times and said:

“Come here. I have a couple of questions for you.”

The man swallowed and stood up abruptly, causing the chair to fall. He approached Lin Yi with a nervous step, folded his hands in a gesture of politeness and said with reverence:

“Sir, how can I help you??..”

“Sit down,” Lin Yi replied, pointing to the chair opposite.

“As you wish, sir.”

Lin Yi laughed to himself, he had not experienced this for a long time. But remaining completely indifferent in his face, he said:

“I heard that all your top experts have escaped. Where? I spent many years in isolation and training, I wanted to find old friends, but none of them were left here. What has happened to the fist world in the last, say, six years??”

The man breathed out a sigh of relief - he was afraid that it was someone from the outside world who had decided to hunt the locals. But no, just an expert who missed everything because of training.

“Sir, it's a long story.”

“Then you can start from the beginning. I have plenty of time.”

Pursing his lips, the man nodded, collected his thoughts, and began:

“It all started when the five impeccable experts drove away Leader Lin - right after defeating the evil cults! Can you imagine? They simply appeared out of nowhere, and were invulnerable like gods. I’m afraid Leader Lin died then, although many believe that he managed to survive, because he had the divine beast with him. In general, they chased after him, ours immediately went into full retreat, I was with them then. And five days later the monsters returned.”

The man shook his head.

“No one could stop them, so we were ordered not to provoke them in any way. Therefore, they did not kill anyone, only devastated the Five Mountain Swords Pavilions, Wudang Mountains, Emei and Qingcheng Sects. In general, all the major sects were left with nothing, and the monsters fled.”

“After some time, a great woman arrived and said that we live on a small island, and in Kyushu the supreme experts are no more valuable than dogs, and impeccable experts are everywhere, and people live forever. She also said that in fact our world is called the Holy Lands of the Golden Gate, and not the “Great Fist World”, and that we were closed from the rest by a barrier for a very long time, until the energy of the world was depleted and collapsed under the attack of five monsters.”

“After that, all the supreme experts went to Kyushu, the five masters of the Five Mountain Swords, and the masters of other major sects went first. Oh, yes, I completely forgot, Master Lin’s wife, Wang Yuluo, was taken as a student by that same woman, she liked her very much. I don’t really like to obey women, but I would gladly take her place, ha ha ha. Oh, so lucky, so lucky.”

“In general, during these six years - what’s up, in the first year there were still none of the supreme ones left. Now who becomes supreme immediately there...”

The man finished and expected some kind of reaction, but Lin Yi was looking somewhere into the endless distance.

Everyone's gone...

Wang Yuluo became someone's student...

He shook his head. No, there's nothing to be sad about. The main thing is that they are okay! Nothing else mattered.
