Five days after the Sword Cloud Sect's inter-genius tournament ended, Yuan Fen woke up. That morning, all the wounds on his body had dried up. Slowly, he was recovering after the all-consuming battle. His opponent, Zhao Changyi, was rumoured to have been unconscious for 3 days but was currently conscious and had begun undergoing treatment.Yuan Fen was grateful. During the battle in the competition finals, he took off the robe he had bought from the Society of Master Mechanics and Blacksmiths. Without realising it, the robe could have become a rag. The reason was that, at that time, with a rather long robe, he felt a little less accessible for the final battle, which he had expected to take a lot of energy and physical ability.Today, he was in the mood to visit the Blue Peak Hall, the tournament organiser's place, to collect the grand prize of a Sword Technique and top up his contribution points of Two Thousand Points. He planned to exchange those points for some herbs and medicines

After fifteen minutes of drifting into the Fairy Cliff Forest, the sound of clashing swords grew clearer. However, the number of sword clangs became less, as if one side had suffered a defeat. Yuan Fen landed lightly on the top of a tree without making a sound.The thing that made his blood boil was seeing the four teenagers in Cloud Sword Sect's armour lying on the ground with blood flowing around them. A woman stood in the centre, wielding a red sword, surrounded by five black-clad and masked figures.The girl surrounded by the five black masked figures was a figure Yuan Fen recognised, Lin Hong, one of the Cloud Sword Sect's Genius finalists."Meng Chi!!! You think the Cloud Sword Sect won't find out your rottenness that has taken the lives of four disciples of my sect? Later, the Cloud Sword Sect will seek justice from your Black Cloud Sect.""At that time, you and your four comrades will pay with your lives for your ruthlessness in killing four disciples of my sect," Lin Hong sta

The night was tense; the swirling wind carried a dangerous scent with a thick chill, creating an eerie atmosphere. A man dressed in black appeared; he noticed the battle scars around the place. Attentively, he tried to read the traces of Qi energy that remained, identifying them as the remnants of the Dark Night Storm, belonging to the Dark Cloud Sect Disciples. He had seen a vital call sign in the sky released by the Dark Cloud Sect Disciple sometime before, yet now this place was silent. This silence was interrupted by the remnants of battle scars with traces of Qi energy that would soon dissipate. "I know you guys are hiding here... Come out, I guarantee you won't harm anyone..." he said sternly. "I can guess, you guys are the ones who harmed my sect disciples," he said again, but there was no reply. The Cloud Sword Sect's Chief Disciples hiding in the Formation remained silent, suppressing their breath so as not to make a sound. The black-clothed man grew increasingly angry, yet

About an hour after their departure, five human shadows dressed all in black and wearing masks appeared. An inexpressible rage emanated from them upon discovering only battle scars and numerous blood splatters. As they traveled through the caves, they found only a withered plant and not a single fruit of the Morning Dew. "How barbaric. The thief wiped out everything. There's nothing left but this withered plant stem." "If I find that thief, just watch. I'll make him suffer." Full of rage, they ransacked the surrounding area before leaving, leaving a sense of unchanneled anger towards no one. ++++ In the Cloud Sword Sect, in a cave on the road to Green Peak, Yuan Fen sighed heavily, expelling the dirty air from his stomach. After consuming two Morning Dew Fruits and spending all night cultivating, the energy in his meridians rebelled, breaking through the three broken walls of the meridian wall. As the hiccups brought the dirty air out of his stomach, he felt a vast change in his

Sect Master Dugu Taoran burst out laughing, seeing Master Yi carrying two little teenagers."Look at you, Master Yi. Who are these two teenagers? Looking at their young age, Mortal Realm 8 and 9 is not a bad thing for such a young age," Sect Master Dugu Taoran said while assessing Yi Zan and Peng Fai's cultivation levels."Forgive me, Sect Master. This little girl is my only granddaughter, while the boy is her friend who cultivated at your Blue Peak.""My granddaughter threatened not to talk to me if I didn't invite her and her friend to participate in this Great Sect Genius event. Besides, another reason is that they are both friends of Yuan Fen and Lin Hong. So their presence will be able to encourage Yuan Fen and Lin Hong."Master Yi looked at Yi Zan."We are not lying. Yuan Fen and Lin Hong are our best friends. Some time ago, the four of us formed a team to soak in the Fairy Cliff Forest," Yi Zan and Peng Fai said as they ran over to Yuan Fen and Ling Hong, which was met with a l
