Hao Qi was rescued by this martial artist as the sole survivor of the massacre. His biological parents and relatives had all perished under the blades of bandits. After searching the surrounding area for a long time without finding any of his kin, the martial artist finally took him in, raising him alongside his own daughter, who was still in infancy at the time.
Although Hao Qi’s body and consciousness were severely mismatched, his mind remained sound. During the sixteen years he was raised by the martial artist, he was able to perceive everything in the outside world normally and formed his own conjectures.
This was an era of war—a very strange one. Beyond the martial artists familiar to Hao Qi, there existed high-tech weapons, and very advanced ones at that. For instance, the martial artist once pursued a group of bandits to their lair and, due to a moment of carelessness, nearly died there. The bandit leader had actually hauled out a shoulder-mounted plasma cannon. Even though the leader was just an Ordinary Person, he almost killed the martial artist, who was at the Inner Force Realm, on the spot. Though the martial artist luckily escaped death and managed to wipe out the bandits, he spent more than half a year afterward recovering from his injuries.
