Chapter 2 - Chapter 2.1: Demon Lord Tai Sui

Crunching the white snow beneath his feet, Yang An lunged fiercely toward the scoundrels. He moved so fast that before Chen San and his gang could even react, he had already shattered the snowflakes in his path.In a flash of lightning, he arrived right in front of the hooligans!

Even though he was burning with rage.Yang An's mind remained exceptionally clear!Knowing the principle of "capturing the ringleader first," he ignored the others and locked his eyes dead on the leader, Chen San! He swung his fist from the bottom up, smashing it viciously into Chen San's abdomen!

Although Chen San had some martial arts training.Caught completely off guard, he simply couldn't dodge Yang An's sudden strike and took the blow head-on!

Bang!A muffled thud echoed!The invisible force of the punch blasted the falling snow away from them!Yang An's thin arms and legs made him look weak, so Chen San hadn't taken him seriously at first, thinking that taking one hit would be fine and he could withstand it.But a second later, he realized something was terribly wrong!What hit him didn't feel like a fist; it felt like an iron hammer, swung with full force! The agonizing pain radiating from his abdomen instantly paralyzed his body!!

Chen San's grip on Yang Ning loosened weakly.Cold sweat poured down his forehead. Bending over like a cooked shrimp, he clutched his liver and shivered uncontrollably, before finally collapsing backward heavily into the thick snow.His head lolled to the side, and he actually started foaming at the mouth, passing out cold!

Taking down a man in the blink of an eye.Not only did Yang An's anger not subside, but his murderous aura actually intensified, faint red glints seeming to flicker in his eyes. He took large strides, chasing after the remaining men in the snow."You animals! You're next!!"

The roar made the thugs shudder!Their boss was taken out in a single encounter!How could these remaining small fries have any courage left to put on a tough front?! Hoisting their unconscious leader Chen San onto their shoulders, they fled as if flying, holding their heads and screaming as they ran, "Murder! The Second Brother of the Yang family is killing people!!""Don't run, you animals! I'm going to kill you all today!!!"

Seeing Yang An still giving chase.Tears of terror sprang from the thugs' eyes, and they ran even faster. The snowy ground was too slippery; those who fell and couldn't get up in time scrambled away on all fours like dogs!Terrified out of their wits, they didn't even dare to look back!Only when they had run a safe distance did they dare to muster enough courage to toss back a howl, "This isn't over! Just you wait!"Then, leaving behind a chaotic trail of footprints in the snow.They completely vanished from sight.

The murderous aura in Yang An's eyes gradually dissipated.As his tense body relaxed, he exhaled large clouds of white mist. A throbbing pain echoed from the muscles of his right arm, which had just delivered the punch. Following that, a message surfaced in his mind.

Awakened Talent: [Demon Lord Tai Sui]Effects:

[Heaven-Sent Demon Lord]: No bottlenecks exist, and there is no unstable realm. As long as there are resources, one can continuously break through!

[Might of the Fierce God]: No limitations on comprehension; capable of learning all martial arts techniques.

[Fated Against Tai Sui]: In a normal state, all abilities such as combat power, defense, and perception are enhanced by three times! When actively triggered, they skyrocket by ten times!

In the chilling wind.Yang An panted slightly, flexing his numb fist.After calming down, he thought to himself.Is this my transmigration perk? My cheat system?No wonder a frail scholar like me could knock out a thug with a single punch. It seems that in my state of sheer fury, I accidentally triggered the power of [Fated Against Tai Sui]!Excellent! A very direct and domineering ability! I like it!

While reading the information in his mind, Yang An didn't notice that his sister, Yang Ning, standing nearby, was completely dumbfounded.Her younger brother had always been gentle and refined.The perfect, kind-hearted gentleman.He spent his days doing nothing but reading or writing; since when did he learn how to beat people up?!And to beat a man like that in a single strike!Knocking the bile right out of him!Because she was so shocked, Yang Ning completely forgot about the thugs' disrespect toward her just moments ago.

Snapping back to reality and seeing Yang An dressed thinly, standing barefoot in the snow, she hurriedly took off her padded jacket, wrapped it around him, and pulled him back into the house."Why did you run out without even putting on your shoes? What if you catch a cold?!""You still have a head injury!""Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere, Erlang? If you are, tell me right now!"

Because Yang An had an older brother who died young.Acquaintances usually called him Erlang (Second Brother).Yang Family's Erlang...Erlang...Wu Song? Yang Jian?Emmmm...Hearing the overflowing concern in Yang Ning's voice, Yang An felt a warmth spread through his heart. "I'm fine, Sis. After sleeping, I feel much better."To reassure Yang Ning.Yang An even hopped around in front of her twice.Jumping quite high!The melted snow left a couple of comical, wet footprints on the dark, grimy floor.

Confirming that her brother was truly okay.Yang Ning let out a sigh of relief. Immediately after, her eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face. Seeing her cry so pitifully truly made one's heart ache."Sis, why are you crying? Look, I'm all better now."Yang An hurriedly tried to comfort her, but then he saw Yang Ning suddenly flick her delicate hand. He didn't know where she pulled it from, but she wielded a rolling pin, and while crying her eyes out, she began raining blows down on him: "You thousand-cuts b*st*rd! You actually tried to kill yourself!""You're the only family I have left in this world! If you die, how am I supposed to live?!""How am I supposed to face our parents in the underworld?!""I'll beat you to death!!!"

Yang An: ?Yang Ning wielded the rolling pin with supernatural skill.She swung it so fast and dense that it rivaled the falling snow outside, and in the blink of an eye, Yang An had taken several hits to the head and body.Look at this technique.It's obvious she's had plenty of practice beating her younger brother on regular days.Yang An shouted while running, "If you have this kind of skill, why didn't you use it on those thugs just now? Why are you using it on your own flesh and blood?!""Hmph! You still dare to talk back! Are you mocking your sister?!" Wiping her tears, Yang Ning struck even harder.

The siblings—one running in front.The other chasing from behind, running in circles around the old wooden table."Cough, cough, cough..."It wasn't until a rapid coughing sound came from the master bedroom that the siblings stopped in their tracks and looked at each other."Brother-in-law is awake!""Your brother-in-law!"
