The water was splashed in all directions. For a moment, it was hard to tell who was going to win the fight in the end.Suddenly, high up at the edge of the well came an astonishing voice,“What the hell are you two doing here in the well?”Following in the direction of the sound, Tolly looked up and saw Miss Smith and Luna standing beside the well staring at them in surprise. Beside them also stood an old man with a long white beard."What on earth are you doing here?" Luna questioned once again.As he continued to press Joseph's head into the water with one of his hands crazily, he said with an awkward smile,“N-n-nothing, Luna. Look, it’s unusually hot, so Joseph and I came down here in the well for a good bath.”“Bath?”“Yeah, a bath!” Tolly answered again.Joseph gulped in a few more mouthfuls of water, struggling to pull his head out of the water. Finally, he made it. He shook violently to get the water off his head and opened his eyes.“Are you having a bath here, Joseph?” Luna

“What about the second level?” Tolly asked with great curiosity. “The second-level cultivators must be able to lead their energy inside to temper their skins so as to boost the rate of absorption of vital energy from the outside world. with the levels up, flesh, sinews or muscles, bones, fluids, marrow, internal organs, and the brain or the senses will be tempered and strengthened accordingly.” “What do you mean by fluids that’ll be tempered?” Tolly asked again, raising his eyebrows. “Well, tempering fluids is a must-learn technique for the sixth-rank cultivators. Fluids usually mean white, red, yellow, and black ones inside your body, such as blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. But for cultivators, above all, they have to be able to transform their white fluids into vital energy, also known as ki energy.” “That’s amazing! How about the level nine?” asked Tolly. “For the ninth-rank cultivators, they are able to store their vital energy into some place inside their brains c

“Wait, Hee-hee, wait!” Tolly called out in a loud voice. Yet, what replied to him was a long silence. He got countless questions in his mind, his eyes even turning into question marks. With great disappointment, he was puzzled at what he should do next. Suddenly, with a twitch in his eyes, a status screen popped up before him. He rubbed his eyes a few times, but the screen was still there. And then he pinched his face. It hurt. It was not a dream. With a ‘Ding’, a short text message appeared on the screen, which read, [Quest: you can constantly drive your target crazy, and then you will receive your Wrath points commensurate to how angry your target is. Are you going to accept this mission or not?] Tolly was stunned. His lips curving into a happy smile, he finally saw something before him. He was glad that Hee-hee didn’t lie to him. After reading the message, two tabs flashed into his mind with Yes and No written on the screen. Very excited, Tolly never expected that his H

While Tolly was still excited about his system, the stocky boy called Tim smashed at Tolly with his long, black staff.It was such a sudden attack that Tolly was not able to dodge it in time. When the long, thick staff landed on his hips, Tolly screamed in pain.The stocky boy got excited and said,“What do you think of my Howling Staff? Isn’t it nice?” said the stocky boy in an ironic voice while spreading a big grin over his face,“Now tell me the truth, how do you know my name?”“F-f-from your sister Jenny,” stuttered Tolly in pain, “she’s told me about it.”“How dare you call my sister Jenny?” said the stocky boy furiously, “you’re such a lowly bastard. It seems I have to give you more smashes.”When the stocky boy Tim smashed his staff at him again, Tolly immediately jumped away and managed to escape from it just in time.“Kneel down! I’ll spank your ass with my staff. How dare you dodge my smash? You’re making me hit the roof,” yelled the stocky boy.He started to smash again. Y

It turned out that the strange patterns and pictures on the back of the map were cuneiform used in ancient Assyria or Persia back on Earth. Tolly recognized them at the first sight because he had used to study them for his digging job as a gold miner in his previous life. He had wished to dig out more treasures like antiques or something like that except for the gold in the cave, though he had never dug out any of them apart from broken pottery or dirty boots back on earth. He had regretted he had wasted too much of his time studying those picturesque characters. Yet, today he came to believe what his father had always said to him, “Learn more, Tolly, nothing is useless. One day when you want to do something, what you’ve learned will come to help you one way or another. You’re what you read or learn.” At the moment, he had to admit his father had always been a wise man. He started to read the first line of the cuneiform on the back of the map. It read: ‘Anyone who acquires the S
