Heyuan Prefecture has two major rivers, the Yubei River and the Luo River, one in the north and the other in the south. In cold weather, a thick layer of ice covers them.
Crack, crack, crack.
Boom!
Liang Qu lightly tapped his toes.
On the surface of the Yubei River, a network of fractures extended for dozens of feet. The three-foot-thick ice collapsed with a thunderous crash, and countless ice blocks sunk rapidly, only to float back up again due to buoyancy, colliding and piling up.
Breaking an opening, Liang Qu dove headfirst into the frozen river. His clothes fluttered, feeling the icy water swiftly flow around him, it was as if he had returned to the days of going out on a boat to fish.
Although life was tougher back then, every day was filled with bounty and vigor.
Now he's a Great Grandmaster renowned throughout the world, never to experience such simple joy again...
