"You, you have another treasure?!" Ai Hao said with a stunned expression. Jun Haru stood up. He had grass growing everywhere on his body from all sides, even his face was covered in grass. This was a second treasure activated by Jun Haru. "Wow! He is using two treasures." "Nobody expected this." "Yeah, if I remember correctly, I heard that the cultivators only use one treasure at a time because they consume a lot of essence water." "Not just that, but using two treasures at a time is said to create some kind of conflict as well.""If I am not wrong, it also affects a person's body." The crowd was shocked to see Jun Haru use two treasures at the same time. Even the mortals were shocked to see this. "Let's continue!"Jun Haru jumped up from the ground and shouted. He ran at Ai Hao with his new treasure activated. "Hahaha, the Bai clan is gone for sure. Their third participant is also missing for some reason. If we win this fight, we can get half of the inheritance easily." The e
"Sister, I want to bet something." Si Yu came in front of the betting counters and said, "What is it, sir?" the female at the counter replied with a smile. "I would like to bet my life." "What?! Are you serious?" The counter female was shocked, not just her, but her fellow companions who were also registering bets, and the people standing next to her were also shocked after hearing Si Yu. They were all stunned for a reason: after all, Si Yu wanted to bet his life that not even the old people who were close to dying could do so. And he was still young at that. "Is he really serious?! " "He is just a kid! How can he put his life on the line by putting his hope on complete strangers?""I wonder what made him do this? Is he doing it for his loved ones?" The people standing next to the counter were all shocked to see this. "Sir, please tell us what you want in return and on whom do you want to place your bet?" The female who was recording bets on paper hurriedly asked. "I want twe
"Very well, let's begin the fight. Are you two ready?" Zing Ghe asked Yang Zhai and Yen Hu. "Hmm," Both of them nodded. "Okay, begin the fight." Zing Ghe announced the start of their fight and jumped down from the stage. He had no purpose of staying on the stage. After all, everything was allowed, even killing. So, he just had to announce the beginning and the end of a fight. Yen Hu released twenty small bees into the air. After this, he activated a treasure and his clothes changed colors to gray. Then, he pulled out a sword from the scabbard that hung by his waist. Yang Zhai looked at Yen Hu quietly. "Are you ready?" This time it was Yang Zhai who asked Yen Hu whether he was ready. Yen Hu did not say anything and looked at Yang Zhai with complete focus. He knew that Yang Zhai was definitely not an easy opponent: thus, he first wanted to see what Yang Zhai would do before he attacked Yang Zhai. Yang Zhai moved forward. His hands started to turn brown slowly. "Attack him!" Whe
"He is really strong!""He did not even give Yen Hu any chance to fight back, it was totally a one-sided fight.""He used his full strength from the very start. Maybe he knew that Yen Hu was strong and needed to end this fight as quickly as possible.""Yeah, I think he shouldn't have used his full strength and could have just fought with just half of his strength. At least, in this way, we could have gotten a good fight to watch.""Who told you that he used his full strength, I think he only used around eighty percent of his strength.""Sigh, I should have just bet my life on him when that kid bid his life on Yang Zhai. I should have known that the kid must have some kind of confidence to bet his life."Many people in the crowd thought that Yang Zhai used his full strength and wanted him to use only half of his strength. Little did they know that if Yang Zhai had used half of his strength, the battle would have ended just as it had started. But, this was what Yang Zhai wanted as well
"Yang Zhai,"Yang Zhai was about to unseal the sealing jade when he heard a voice from outside the tent."Yes, elder," Yang Zhai knew to whom this voice belonged, so he went and greeted the third elder. He stored the sealing jade in the pouch hanging on his waist."How are you doing?" "Fine, I am really happy that you are worried about me.""Who is he?" Zihao De looked at Si Yu who was standing by Yang Zhai's side and asked."He is a good friend of mine. I met him in the forest when I was going to the Ma clan. He was being attacked by a beast." Yang Zhai said politely and did not reject the third elder from answering his questions."Oh, I can see that you trust him highly. Anyway, why did he ask for the rewards from the Ma clan instead of the Bai clan: after all, if he lost, you might have been able to save him from the Bai clan." Elder Zihao De was a great strategist, how could he not know about the events that took place at the betting counter today? He also knew the emotional eff
Yang Zhai returned to his tent. It was already past midnight. He saw that Si Yu was already sleeping on one side of the tent. Yang Zhai was also tired from today's journey. He had to travel tomorrow again: so, he went back to sleep. He was not worried about him being attacked. The Bai clan knew that Yang Zhai was their strongest participant and Ai Hao was a healing cultivator: so, they couldn't lose him. He was sure that there were definitely one or two people outside the tent, protecting him. Especially after today's event. And the third elder also needed him for his plan, therefore, his safety was certain. ….. The next day, Four elders including Yu Ene, Yu Ane, Zihao De, and Ren Fang stood together. With them were five disciples of the Bai clan. Si Yu was also with them. They were getting ready to travel back to the Bai clan. "So, is he coming with us as well?" Si Kim asked Yang Zhai whilst looking at Si Yu. "Yes," "But, he is not from the Bai clan." "So what?" "Accordin
A change, was there anything that did not change? Fate, was there anything that was not fated? Freedom, was there anything that was free? If one thing could affect many different things and could cause unexpected situations, then, was change a freedom? If the result was going to happen unexpectedly, then, was fate permanent? If something could be affected by the reaction of someone else, then was this through change or fate? Everything changes, a seed grows into a tree one day. But, the tree is the fate of a seed if it remains in a safe environment. The same was for a living being. A living being grows from being a child into youth and then old, then, it dies. Is this growth considered a change, or is the result considered fate? Or, could it be that these two were interlinked? If true, then what was more dominant? A man came running with blood all over his body. The man had long black hair and looked quite handsome. However, he had a knife pierced into his body. He was missing one
Everyone had returned back to the Ma clan. Si Yu went back to the rented house and Yang Zhai went back to his house. On the other hand, the third elder was investigating the man caught by elder Yu Ene. "Tell me already, and you can be free from the torture." The third elder was torturing the man to reveal the reason for attacking them. He was hoping that the man would say the name of the Ma clan. "I told…you already. Someone from the Bai clan hired me. That man hid his face. Also, my target was Feng Qi, not someone else." The man was being tortured by the third elder again and again. The third elder would heal the man and torture him again."If Feng Qi was targeted, then what's the reason? Tell me, or, you will not die easily.""I, I don't don't…know the…reason. I was just hired and that's all. Otherwise, why would I… value the life of someone…over myself?"He is not saying anything else besides this, there can only be two reasons: first, he is telling the truth and second is that
"One thousand mid-grade essence stones is no small amount for a common disciple for sure." Zing Ghe thought and was impressed that the Ma clan was serious about bribing Yang Zhai. These many essence stones were nothing in front of Zing Ghe, but what surprised him was that they were being given to an ordinary disciple, who would be happy even with just 100 low-grade essence stones.Not only that, but the Kroy city's emblem was no joke, even Zing Ghe was surprised. It was like: the Ma and the Bai clans were ready to lose a huge amount of benefits with just this emblem that even 1000 mid-grade essence stones could not compare to. And at that, they were willing to even give up their nomination spot. Kroy City was no ordinary city. Even the Ma clan and Bai clan joining together were like ants in front of Kroy City."Let's do it like this, Yang Zhai, if you accept their offer, we will do everything in our power to assassinate you, even if it costs us the annihilation of the whole clan, reme
"Next, the final battle will be between Yang Zhai and Jun Haru, please come up to the stage."Yang Zhai and Jun Haru walked up the stage after hearing their names. Both stood on opposite sides of the stage, and in the middle stood Zing Ghe."Are you two ready? If you are, then begin" Zing Ghe asked the two and was about to begin the fight when he heard Jun Haru's voice."Wait,""What is it?" Zing Ghe stopped and asked."Yang Zhai, tell me, have you been happy in the Bai clan?" Said Jun Haru."Why suddenly ask that?" Yang Zhai asked with a calm face."Well, I have an offer for you, what do you s
"I don't think I need to explain the rules of the competition. So, without further ado, let us begin the final round of this competition." Zing Ghe announced the start of the final round and continued, "The first battle will be between Ke Xin and Ai Hao." Even though Zing Ghe knew that Ai Hao had died, he still called her name. The reason was that he was an over-watcher and had to follow the rules so that nobody could blame their loss on him. After all, the Bai clan could say that they lost because Zing Ghe did not call for Ai Hao and gave one victory to the Ma clan for no reason. Ke Xin walked up the stage and stood proudly as if he had conquered the competition by himself. "Look at his proud face. He should be thankful that there is no one facing him; otherwise, he would have already been thrown out off the stage.""Right, he lost his first two battles in only two fists. Two fists were all it took to defeat him in two rounds. And look at him, standing as if he has won because of
A month and two days passed, and the day of the final round of the competition had finally arrived. A huge crowd was gathered around the empty stage. On the two sides of the competition venue were two camps: one side belonged to the Ma clan and the other one to the Bai clan. Today was very important for both clans, so both clan leaders of the two clans were here. Even the second and third elders of the two clans were here. Besides them were also a few other elders.Zing Ghe came onto the stage and began his usual speech, "Today, as everyone knows, is the final round of the competition. Betting on anyone is also on. You can bet anything, even your life. As everyone knows, I am an over-watcher. I know many secrets that you don't. I not only looked over the competition, but also over what happened during the breaks that happened between the competition rounds. Allow me to introduce to you the real situation of the competition. The real Death Game!!!"When Zing Ghe spoke these words, t
Yang Zhai's arms started to change colors constantly and returned to their original color after a while. After a while, a colorless aura began to enter his arms. Si Kim sat in his place and the aura did not affect him. However, "I am unable to detect this aura's true origins, I cannot even sense to which path it belongs. But what is even more strange is that my detection method started to change itself when it touched the aura. Just what exactly is this aura?" Zihao De muttered with confusion. He did not look away from Yang Zhai and kept his focus on him. After a while, Yang Zhai's arms completely absorbed the aura that they had released a while ago. Yang Zhai's eyes opened, and he looked at the floor around him. The area of the floor around him had small cracks in it. The small particles which were moving in Yang Zhai's bones had been absorbed by his bones. Only a little while had passed when Yang Zhai's mind went blank. "Change, everything changes. A sapling becomes a tree. A
Yang Zhai took his Kas and left the room. He returned to the room that was given to him by the Clan leader. "His body cultivation talent is not ordinary, I thought he would not even be able to put a single dent in the Brown Dacite, especially after knowing that is still a kid and had not experienced the world." Zihao De said to Tai Qi after Yang Zhai left. Tai Qi, however, was pondering something about something. After a while, he said, "I am more surprised about his will. It is obvious from his performance today that he has a lot of talent for body cultivation, but being able to endure so much is beyond unbelievable. His will is too strong. Zihao De, Yang Zhai owns a strong will. Forget about others, even I don't have this much of a strong will. His determination and endurance are beyond normal. Did you notice that a few strands of his hair even turned white from the pain? And his endurance is strong even without experiencing the world yet. If he becomes evil, he will unleash a gr
"Yang Zhai, stop, that's enough." Tai Qi stood up and stopped Yang Zhai from going any further. The sun had set and It was already night. Around five percent of Yang Zhai's hair had turned white from different spots. The dents had increased from nineteen to twenty-two. His arms were swelling and so did his hands. His face had red lines below his face as if he was crying: however, this was the result of his training. Because he had punched the Brown Dacite so much that his eyes and ears had started bleeding, even his nose and mouth were bleeding. But, Yang Zhai did not care and continued his training because he knew that the Clan leader would heal him after he stopped his training, the reason was that he was needed for the final round. And this was an opportunity that he could not waste. Yang Zhai stopped after the Clan asked him to. Yang Zhai stabilized himself first and stood straight with great difficulty. Because of standing in the same stance for more than eight hours, his legs
Yang Zhai walked forward and came in front of the rock. This rock was around a normal man's size. The color of the rock was brown, filled with red lines all over it. Yang Zhai touched and moved his hand lightly on the surface of the rock and felt its smoothness. "Brown Dacite…," Yang Zhai thought. This rock was not an ordinary rock, but was used by the cultivators to check the determination of the cultivators. This rock could endure the hit of even rank 5 cultivators. There was no way Yang Zhai could break it even with his full strength. However, if he wanted to put a dent in this rock, he would have to hit the same spot again and again until his blood spilled out of his fist and touched the rock. However, the rock would continuously send shocks into his hand, preventing it from getting injured, but his bones would continuously be affected by this rock, modifying his bones slowly. The pain he feels would keep on increasing with every fist. Nevertheless, it was an opportunity for Ya
"So, how's your cultivation going?" Elder Zihao De asked Si Kim and Yang Zhai. "Elder, my cultivation is going smoothly, and I am not facing any issues in my cultivation, but brother Yang Zhai…" Si Kim replied and stopped while speaking, "Yang Zhai what?" "Brother Yang Zhai is not advancing in his cultivation, in fact, his cultivation has dropped to rank 2 early-stage." "Hmm," When Zihao De heard this, his eyes narrowed, he was surprised, at least, that was what his expression looked like. He looked at Yang Zhai with a questioning expression. However, Yang Zhai looked at Zihao De and said with a slight hesitation on his face, "No, Elder, brother Si is lying, my cultivation is going fine. There… is no problem, you don't need to worry." "Hmm, are you sure?" Zihao De looked at Yang Zhai as if he did not believe Yang Zhai. "Brother Yang, what are you saying? You clearly told me that you were having issues with your cultivation, and it was decreasing. Why are you lying now?!
