" I will referee the spar, and not to waste time, each winner of a spar will be challenged. If no challenges are made, they will be directly crowned the winner," Outer Court Elder Liang Chen explained as he prepared to oversee the sparring matches. This event was primarily focused on the outer court disciples, and it was only proper that Elder Liang Chen took charge."This is a friendly spar, so death isn't allowed, and if this rule is broken, severe punishment awaits. The first to bleed or go unconscious loses; surrendering also means a loss," Liang Chen further clarified the rules as he addressed the eager outer disciples.The first match was quickly decided, as two random Essence Gathering disciples stepped forward. Lu Xian, a disciple known for his control over wind techniques, faced off against Chen Wei, who specialized in earth-based martial arts.The fight was fierce and fast-paced. Lu Xian utilized his wind affinity to move with incredible speed, launching swift and unpredicta

"Rhea, I would like to proceed with the replacement of my meridians" Atticus finally having time to himself didn't want to delay anymore. He wouldn't be so lucky to always defeat people like Zhou Feng of he stayed weak.[Noted master Atticus.][Proceeding with Meridian vein replacement.][Host will experience pain while process last for an estimate of 3 hours.][Good luck master Atticus]Hold up, what? Why the hell would he need luc--- "Arrgh!"Intense pain hit Atticus, he felt like lava had replaced is blood and his innards was constantly ripped apart and pulled together again.Atticus feel to the floor as his entire body shook in intense mind wrenching pain, he let out screams like a little girl. The once famous general of Eldoria letting out screams like this was surely a sight that would scare many. Atticus was always one with a high pain tolerance but this? This was purely demonic, but then its fits the irony of the situation.After what seemed like eternity, the system notificat

"Where's the treasure?"Atticus was confused as to why both Elders where asking about a treasure,their presence on the other hand didn't come as much of a surprise. The commotion he had cause was enough to alert everyone around but he was ready to deal with the consequences."Isn't there a treasure here? The entire sect is in disorder because of whatever you may have brought in!" Zhou Mei said loudly, looking a Atticus with a stern look.He didn't expect to find this trash to be the source of all the commotion. Could he be even called trash anymore? After all he defeated his good for nothing son Zhou Feng, but now that he thinks about the shocking performance Atticus had put up, he might be keeping a secret. Maybe it was even related to this treasure! As Zhou Mei thought about this he became more determined to fish out whatever treasure Atticus might hold."There's no treasure here" Atticus replied with a deadpan expression."You do realize that the spiritual energy around the sect al

With his victory over Feng Liu still resonating in the air, Atticus approached the four disciples who had once tormented him. They gazed at him with a mixture of astonishment and trepidation, not anticipating Atticus's confrontation."You all remember me, don't you?" Atticus's voice remained calm, but it carried an undercurrent of threat that was hard to ignore.The four disciples exchanged uneasy glances but remained silent.Atticus pressed on, "Come on! You made my life a living hell. The least you can do is respond. How about an apology? Maybe then I'll consider letting you off the hook."One of the disciples, a burly young man with a sneer, mustered the courage to speak. "Don't let your recent victory get to your head, Atticus. You might have defeated Feng Liu, but it doesn't mean you can take all of us."Atticus flexed his fingers, his demeanor taking on a more menacing edge. "I didn't come here to fight all of you at once. That would be too embarrassing for y'all and you probabl

A colossal wolf, its fur the color of twilight, stood on its hind legs, its massive form easily dwarfing even the largest of cultivator Atticus have ever come across. Its eyes, two burning orbs of molten gold, fixed on Atticus with a predatory glint. Razor-sharp fangs, dripping with a viscous silver liquid, protruded from its maw, and a low growl rumbled from its chest, resonating through the clearing like an approaching storm.This particular beast is considered the lone wolf of the forest, a Moonshadow Stalker, a creature said to roam the deepest, most ancient parts of the forest as it was a vicious predator that was born to slaughter, its power rivaling even some early stage spirit gathering cultivators. Atticus kept his gaze on the colossal wolf as his heart pounded a frantic rhythm against his ribs, adrenaline coursing through his veins. This wasn't just a hunt anymore; this was a fight for survival as Atticus did not expect to meet such high level beast so quickly...or at all.He
