The sun had tilted to the west. The sky above the Cloud Pine forest looked reddish. The Zhonglu Sect elder - Celeste Chen, had been pacing back and forth in the area where the aura of the former battle between Eadric Rong and the three Zhonglu Sect children had been. It seemed that he was searching for something restlessly.His face was contorted, looking full of worry. "Wretched twelve. If something happens to Jesper Jiang, the deputy sect leader may be furious."Celeste Chen didn't initially agree that Jesper Jiang should join the Shadowclaw hunting mission in the Cloud Pine forest. He daydreamed, remembering the few days before today's incident."You don't need to come. This is not a playful mission. Hunting a tier-one demonic creature is extremely dangerous. It's life at stake!" Celeste Chen said to Jesper Jiang at the beginning of the group's departure.Elder Celeste Chen thought this Jesper Jiang kid was too rash.In all likelihood, the mission that was supposed to be looking fo

Everyone looked enthusiastic and beaming. Everyone was about to receive Blood Pills and Qi Pills, naturally with the new hope that it would help their cultivation improve.Eadric Rong stood on the wall of the hall, about a hundred meters away from the field where the resources were distributed. He stared jealously as he heard the voices of the three core disciples ordering one outer court disciple after another to come forward to receive their resources."Don't jostle around. Please don't make any noise, and make sure that you receive this pill and consume it right now. The Wudang Sect will not compensate for any losses incurred!"The voice of Teng Jiyu, the head disciple ranked first in martial skill in the Sect, resounded with a cold tone as he reprimanded the disciple greedy for chaos. His face was plastered with seriousness, as if an official staring down from above, looking at the outer court disciples like a bunch of ants.As the resource-sharing process progressed, the three co

Eadric Rong, along with a few worker disciples, was given the opportunity to take the entrance exam despite little interference and compassion from the Sect.Eadric Rong stood among five hundred teenagers aged nine to fifteen, not standing out. His face did look young, but his height made him look like a thirteen-year-old. This made him easily blend in among the five hundred prospective new students.Eadric Rong was dressed in coarse linen, which is commonly worn by poor children. But there wasn't just a group of children dressed in coarse linen who were there.Some of the teenagers looked neat and trendy, dressed in silk fabrics. They chose to stand apart, refusing to join the rough-dressed kids like Eadric Rong.Suddenly, a loud noise broke the crowd on the field."Attention, please! I hope you can line up neatly for the strength test! You need to hold onto the pole in the center of the field and let your energy flow so that the Artifacts arranged in that direction can determine how

At that moment, the Lorien Priest's gaze on Eadric Rong looked complicated. His face was filled with sympathy and curiosity."Take it easy, Eadric Rong," said the Lorien Priest in a low, soothing voice. "Don't listen to those kids' scorn. If you fail this time, there's still next year. You are still very young, and there will be many opportunities for success in the future."Priest Lorien's voice was soft in Eadric Rong's ears as if a soothing gust of spring wind. This created a sense of warmth in his heart, giving him the strength to continue with the test.After Eadric Rong had calmed down and was no longer overwhelmed with nerves, it wasn't long before the Lorien Priest's voice could be heard echoing deafeningly."Eadric Rong, new disciple candidate of the Wudang Sect. Are you ready to undergo the energy test?" asked Priest Lorien.On stage, Eadric Rong nodded in agreement."Please grab hold of that Energy Meter pole!" ordered the Lorien Priest with his resounding voice, complete i

That afternoon, there was a crowd at the top of Wudang Mountain. A young boy stood on the sect's podium, looking awkward in the crowd of other children. The boy was Eadric Rong, who was asked to explain how he could cultivate Pure Eve energy.Eadric Rong began to clarify, followed by scornful looks from the crowd of new kids."I hereby confirm that I have never used any underhanded tactics or cheated in my actions in the Energy Meter trials." Eadric Rong stopped and sighed, trying to muffle his heartbeat.Although his voice did not project using pure air, because it was so quiet, every word he spoke was clearly heard and immediately understood by his listeners.Eadric Rong continued, "On that day, while I was traveling for resources in the middle of the Cloud Pine Forest, I accidentally came across a very strange tree.The tree had red leaves and fruit. Surprisingly, the fruit was also red and was the only fruit growing on the tree!"At this point, everyone listening to the story from
