Chapter 4 Rival in Love
On the train from Zhongzhou to Nanluo City, Su Yang sat by the window, his gaze fixed outside.
Su Yang had just turned eighteen this year, but he had already been in the military for three years, having joined the army at fifteen.
Fifteen – an age when many kids have just started their first year of high school. But that year, something happened that would change Su Yang's life forever. Because of that incident, Su Yang was forced to leave school and joined the military for three years.
After three years, having gone through a lot, Su Yang had changed significantly. What brought the greatest change was a book his father gave him when he was leaving.
The book had a strange name, it was called Destiny's Tome. Moreover, what was most peculiar was that the book had no words in it – at the time, Su Yang even wondered if his father had mistakenly given him a blank notebook. However, a year later, after returning from a mission with injuries, his blood accidentally dripped onto the book, causing words to finally appear on the first page only.
Though it was just one page, it contained an abundance of content, covering everything from martial arts, inner strength, medical skills, cooking, brewing, and even geomancy. It even contained cultural knowledge, nothing short of miraculous. It took Su Yang a whole year to memorize the contents of the first page, then another year to master seventy percent of it. Just two days ago, words started to appear on the second page. That was when he left the army.
The train arrived at the station. Su Yang gathered his thoughts and got off, carrying his backpack. As soon as he stepped out of the station, a crowd swarmed around him, bombarding him with questions, "Brother, do you need a taxi?"
"Bus, here! Buses to the county!"
"Dude, how about a motorcycle taxi? It's convenient, fast, and cheap!"
