After You Broke Off the Engagement, I Broke Through Twelve Realms in a Single Day! - Chapter 1:

Chapter 1: Twelve Realms in One Day

“Grandfather, even if I die, I will never marry that useless Li Feng!” In the Liu family’s main hall, Liu Ruyan screamed resolutely at the Patriarch Liu.

Her sharp voice shattered the atmosphere like a thunderclap, instantly drawing the attention of all the guests at the banquet.

Today was the engagement day of Liu Ruyan, the eldest daughter of the Liu family, and the live-in son-in-law Li Feng. No one had expected such a dramatic scene.

“Heh, a good show is about to begin. Li Feng, a worthless waste, dreams of eating swan meat. After today, he’ll become a laughingstock.”

“Li Feng is only at the 3rd stage Martial Apprentice Realm. Even after tomorrow’s Martial Vein Awakening, at best he’ll reach the 6th stage. An 18-year-old at the 6th stage is merely a Yellow-grade talent, totally unworthy of Earth-grade Liu Ruyan.”

“But Li Feng’s parents died saving Liu Ruyan. If the Liu family annuls the engagement, wouldn’t that be a betrayal of trust?”

Amidst the murmurs, everyone’s gaze fell on a handsome young man sitting quietly in the corner, drinking by himself.

This was Li Feng, the one engaged to Liu Ruyan. Ten years ago, Li Feng’s parents had brought him to visit the Liu family, but unfortunately, a beast tide struck the city. To save Liu Ruyan and her twin sister Liu Ruyue, Li Feng’s parents were swallowed by the beast tide. The two sisters were thrown back onto the city walls at the last moment and narrowly escaped death.

To repay the lifesaving grace of the Li family, the Liu family promised to marry Liu Ruyan to Li Feng.

However, as the years passed, Liu Ruyan’s cultivation talent began to show. Now, at just eighteen, she had broken through to the 9th stage Martial Apprentice Realm, only one step away from reaching the Martial Master Realm!

It should be noted that her father, Patriarch Liu Tiangang, was only at the peak Martial Master Realm, yet it was enough to make the Liu family one of the three great families of Luoxing City.

Liu Ruyan’s future was unimaginable!

Moreover, in three days, she would open her Martial Veins, and her cultivation would advance further, perhaps even awakening Earth-grade Martial Veins!

Martial Vein Awakening was called the Dragon Gate Leap. The higher the cultivation, the higher the grade of the Martial Veins awakened, and the greater the future potential. Liu Ruyan was already the number one genius of Luoxing City, so how could she still be willing to marry Li Feng, a waste stuck at the 3rd stage Martial Apprentice Realm?

Even with training at the Body Refining Tower, at best he could reach the 6th stage Martial Apprentice Realm and awaken a low-grade Yellow-grade Martial Vein, never achieving anything beyond the Martial Master Realm.

How could a tiger girl marry a dog son?

This was also the unanimous opinion of the Liu family elders. Today’s annulment was a well-planned play by the Liu family.

At that moment, a girl suddenly stood up and said to Li Feng, “Brother Li, if my sister is unwilling to marry you, I am!”

This girl possessed a celestial temperament and breathtaking beauty, long renowned throughout Luoxing City. She was Liu Ruyue, the second daughter of the Liu family.

Unlike Liu Ruyan, who had displayed her talent early, Liu Ruyue, her twin sister, had only reached the 2nd stage Martial Apprentice Realm by now, a talent even inferior to Li Feng’s.

However, she remembered the Li family’s lifesaving grace and had long harbored feelings for the gentle and considerate Li Feng. If it weren’t for Liu Ruyan’s engagement, she would have confessed her feelings long ago.

Seeing Liu Ruyan publicly humiliate Li Feng by annulling the engagement in front of so many people, Liu Ruyue could no longer hold back and stood up to express her feelings.

The Liu family’s main hall instantly became even more chaotic. The crowd was in an uproar; no one had expected the Liu sisters to have such opposite attitudes toward Li Feng.

“What a pity. Liu Ruyue, the number one beauty of Luoxing City, actually admires a waste.”

“What will the Liu family do? I heard that Young Master Zhang has long declared that he would only marry Liu Ruyue. Will the Liu family offend the Zhang family by marrying Liu Ruyue to Li Feng, or will they sacrifice Liu Ruyan, their top genius?”

“Heh, no matter who he marries, Li Feng will benefit greatly!”

As everyone whispered and speculated, Li Feng, the center of it all, remained calm, his gaze fixed on the wine cup in his hand.

Just now, a line of small text appeared before his eyes.

[Reverse Cause and Effect, Change Fate. Every choice you make now will lead to a different result.]

[Cause 1: Immediately refuse Liu Ruyan’s annulment.]

[Effect 1: Because you refuse to annul, the Liu family elders will see you as a great enemy and plan to eliminate you. Three days later, you will break through to the 4th stage Martial Apprentice Realm in the Body Refining Tower and awaken a low-grade Yellow-grade Martial Vein. Liu Ruyan will awaken Earth-grade Martial Veins and break through to the Martial Master Realm, astonishing Luoxing City. She will be accepted as a disciple by a female professor from Jishang Academy who despises men, especially freeloaders like you, and you will be killed on the spot.]

[Cause 2: Agree to Liu Ruyan’s annulment.]

[Effect 2: Because you agree, the Liu family elders will look kindly upon you and return the treasures your parents left with them. Using the treasure, you will break through to the 4th stage Martial Apprentice Realm within two days. In three days, you will reach the 6th stage Martial Apprentice Realm in the Body Refining Tower and awaken a high-grade Yellow-grade Martial Vein. Liu Ruyan will awaken Earth-grade Martial Veins and break through to the Martial Master Realm, astonishing Luoxing City. She will be accepted into Jishang Academy. Though no expert will favor you, the Liu family’s goodwill will allow you to stay and cultivate.]

[Cause 3: Agree to annul with Liu Ruyan and marry Liu Ruyue.]

[Effect 3: Because you agree to annul but marry Liu Ruyue, the Liu family elders will feel they have done their utmost for you and will not return your parents’ treasures. After marrying Liu Ruyue and taking her red pill, you will unexpectedly break through to the 3rd stage Martial Master Realm and discover she has an unparalleled Furnace Physique. Liu Ruyue will also break through to the 1st stage Martial Master Realm because of your Yang energy. Young Master Zhang Huaiyu, furious that you took his woman, will plot to ambush you on your way to the Vein Awakening. Three days later, Zhang Huaiyu will come as expected but will be killed by your single slap. In the Body Refining Tower three days later, you will break through to the 6th stage Martial Master Realm and awaken a top-grade Earth-grade Martial Vein. Liu Ruyue will break through to the 3rd stage Martial Master Realm and awaken a mid-grade Earth-grade Martial Vein. Liu Ruyan will break through to the 1st stage Martial Master Realm and awaken a low-grade Earth-grade Martial Vein. Your and the Liu sisters’ talents will shake Luoxing City, and all major forces will extend olive branches, trying to recruit you. Liu Ruyan, seeing your newfound glory, will feel deep regret.]

[Please make your choice. Whichever cause you choose, you will immediately gain the corresponding cultivation, comprehension, and memories!]

“I choose Cause 3.” Li Feng didn’t know if these words truly held power, but he chose the one most beneficial to himself.

[You chose Cause 3 and gained Effect 3, breaking through to the 6th stage Martial Master Realm and obtaining the memories of these days.]

[You and Liu Ruyue will repay the karmic debt through one hundred times of dual cultivation to reopen Reverse Cause and Effect. Dual cultivation count: 0/100.]

As the words appeared before him, Li Feng was astonished to find his sluggish inner energy suddenly surging like a vast ocean, and his cultivation rising rapidly!

4th stage Martial Apprentice Realm… 5th stage… 9th stage!

“Crack!” A crisp sound of breaking shackles echoed from Li Feng’s body as he smoothly broke through to the Martial Master Realm!

His inner energy condensed into a vortex, forcing everyone around him back. Li Feng’s transformation was quickly noticed, and everyone’s eyes widened in shock.

“That waste… how did our son-in-law break through to the Martial Master Realm?!”

Patriarch Liu Tiangang’s pupils contracted, and in excitement, he crushed his dragon-head cane and stood up, staring in disbelief at Li Feng, who was still advancing.

That day, the Liu family’s live-in son-in-law broke through twelve realms in a single day!
