GROIKTP Chapter 471

“Martial arts flourishing, with Cthulhu-like eldritch gods… this world setting seems strangely familiar, like a novel I once read!”

Chen Ye had a feeling that the “parallel world” he found himself in was reminiscent of a fictional setting he had encountered before.

“Could it be that even fictional worlds can become instance worlds?”

“If that’s the case, some web novels have incredibly vast universes, with supreme beings that transcend everything, attaining immortality…”

The thought left Chen Ye a little stunned.

Just as his mind wandered, the door to the hospital room opened.

A burly man walked in.

Seeing Chen Ye awake, the man froze, then rushed forward with delight.

“Xiao Ye, you’re awake?”

A strong smell of cigarettes immediately filled the air.

Memories of this man instantly surfaced in Chen Ye’s mind.

This man’s name was Zhao Long, a battle comrade of his father. They had shared life-or-death moments together on the battlefield, and their families were closely bonded.

Chen Ye called him “Uncle Zhao.”

After his father’s death, all of Chen Ye’s relatives distanced themselves, but Uncle Zhao had unhesitatingly taken him in. He had also been the one to handle all the funeral arrangements for Chen Ye’s father.

“Uncle Zhao… How long was I unconscious?” Chen Ye asked calmly.

He was now playing the role of someone else.

Fortunately, the previous “Chen Ye” had been outgoing before the tragedy struck. After that, he had become quiet and reserved, which fit well with Chen Ye’s current demeanor.

“You’ve been out for four days!” Uncle Zhao said with a hint of reproach. “You reckless brat. Martial arts require patience and progression. There’s no shortcut! The fact that you didn’t die this time is sheer luck!”

Chen Ye sincerely admitted his fault, “Uncle Zhao, I was wrong. I made you worry.”

Uncle Zhao seemed ready to say more but stopped himself and let out a sigh instead.

“It’s good you woke up. Another two days, and you’d have been in real danger.”

He knew why the boy before him had been so desperate in his training—it was all to find his father’s murderer and exact revenge.

“Xiao Ye, how do you feel now? Is there any discomfort in your body?” Uncle Zhao asked, clearly concerned. “I should call the doctor to check on you.”

Chen Ye quickly responded, “Uncle Zhao, I feel fine. There’s no need to waste the money on a check-up. I’m ready to be discharged.”

To prove his point, Chen Ye got out of bed and stood firmly, showing that he was perfectly healthy.

He didn’t want the doctors to discover anything unusual about his body.

After all, Chen Ye’s physique had been drastically enhanced by the Reincarnation System, making his organs exceptionally strong.

…

Reluctantly, Uncle Zhao agreed and processed the discharge paperwork, taking Chen Ye out of the hospital.

By the time they left, it was already past 2 a.m.

Uncle Zhao dropped Chen Ye off at his small apartment. Due to the late hour, he didn’t say much but urged Chen Ye to rest before heading home.

Now, alone in the apartment, Chen Ye flicked on the lights and looked around.

The apartment was small, probably no larger than 40 square meters.

This was all that Chen Ye’s father had left behind after his death.

In fact, his father had made some decent money running the martial arts school. But after his passing, a massive debt suddenly appeared, and the bank seized the family home and most of their assets. All that remained was just enough for Chen Ye to purchase this tiny apartment.

This was one of the reasons the previous Chen Ye suspected foul play behind his father’s death.

Sitting on the sofa, Chen Ye began to think.

“If this world really is from that novel, then this place is indeed dangerous.”

“Unfortunately, the protagonist’s greatest advantage is his overpowered system that allows him to level up even while doing nothing. If not for that, I could have taken advantage of my knowledge of the plot and stolen his opportunities…”

Chen Ye furrowed his brow in contemplation.

Suddenly, with a thought, a status panel appeared before him.

“All my abilities are accessible without restriction?”

Chen Ye’s eyes glinted as he started planning.

“Whether this is truly that novel world or not, I’ll focus on completing my tasks first.”

“In this world, martial artists hold a prestigious status. I should establish myself as a recognized martial artist. It’ll make things a lot easier moving forward…”

However, earning official recognition as a martial artist wasn’t easy.

Claiming to be one after practicing for a few years wasn’t enough. Without official approval, you weren’t considered a true martial artist.

To become officially recognized, you had to register with the Martial Artists Association.

The requirements were tough: either you needed a special recommendation, win a regional martial arts championship, or achieve a notable rank in a national competition.

“The annual Martial Arts Tournament is starting soon, isn’t it?”

“I’ll need to secure a spot in that competition…”
