"Today is the day that you have to prove yourself. Everyone has the chance to become the leader of this class. This has never happened before in the history of the Bai Clan. No matter what happened, a leader was never changed in the history of the Bai Clan after being chosen the first time." Elder Wang stood before the twenty-seven kids and explained.
They were standing outside of the village, near the outskirts of the Si forest. Today, their competition was going to start.
As elder Wang was their training teacher, he was the one managing the first round of the competition with four other elders.
"Look behind me. Your first round is in there. I will be dividing all of you into nine groups, each group having a total of three kids." Elder Wang pointed his right thumb behind him towards the forest. He was looking at twenty-seven kids. His back was facing the forest.
"I, with some other elders, have released a total of five Rank 1 Black Rabbits in
They kept quiet. The Black Rabbit watched them for a while before turning around. It ignored them and began to eat."You two, remove your boots. We need to be careful and reduce our noises." Yang Zhai removed his boots¹ and ordered the other two as well. He wanted to be careful as much as possible."I will try to get close to it from here. On the other hand, you two should spread and come at it from the other two directions. One of you goes to the left and the other to the right side. And huh, you need to cover the front as well." Yang Zhai turned his head behind to look at the two and said.As his eyes were losing sight and it was becoming difficult for him to see clearly every day, he did not want to take the risk of moving around in the jungle² too much and alerting the rabbit.
"Brother Yang, you have already reached the mid-stage! I am truly impressed. The technique that you used earlier clearly possessed the aura of a Rank 1 mid-stage. You truly deserve to be the leader of our class." The boy said. He was shocked to discover that Yang Zhai had already reached the mid-stage.According to the norms, he should be still at the early stage."Yeah, brother Yang, I also felt the aura of the technique you used earlier. It was at the Rank 1 mid-stage and the power was also stronger than a normal Rank 1 mid-stage." Chin Mae also said to Yang Zhai.A technique did not possess any sub-stages. It only possessed ranks, from Rank 1 to Rank 13. This was also the case with the Kas. A technique's power increases according to the strength of the Essence water. However, it didn't mean that a Rank 1 technique could become stronger than a Rank 2 technique.The technique was just like a formula. If a person wanted to change the properties or i
Yang Zhai went closer to the Black Rabbit's corpse. He picked Black Rabbit up and removed the emblem. It easily came off. As Elder Wang had said that this emblem would only come off when the Black Rabbit dies.He then threw the corpse of the Black Rabbit away and said,"Let's go," he turned around and was about to go when he heard the boy."Brother Chin, the technique you used now was at Rank 1 mid-stage, right?" The boy looked at Chin Mae and queried with a serious expression."What are you talking about?" Chin Mae acted as if he did not understand the boy."What do I mean? You know what I mean. You have already reached Rank 1 mid-stage. But you are pretending as if you don't know." The boy said with a serious expression."So what if I did? What does it have to do with you? Brother Yang already reached the mid-stage, so why can I?" Chin Mae said irritatingly."So what, huh? I remember the first day clearly. You were not s
Yang Zhai pulled the long knife out of Chin Mae's head and stored it in the Bloody-Storage Ka. After that, he stored the emblem in his robe's pocket. Then, he placed the bodies of Chin Mae and the boy differently, about two to three meters away from each other.After that, he began to collect a lot of wood and dried leaves. He placed them on the bodies of Chin Mae and the boy that he had killed. He completely covered their bodies with leaves and pieces of wood. Then he collected and stored a lot of wood and dried leaves in the Bloody Storage Ka.After he collected a lot of these in the Bloody Storage Ka, he came back to the place where the dead bodies were placed.Thereafter, he activated the Bloody Storage Ka and spread all the dried leaves and the wood that he collected in the surroundings of the dead bodies. Almost all of the area surrounding the bodies was filled with wood and leaves. So much so that they could be seen around the trees as well.
Yang Zhai's ruthlessness was too ruthless. He did not even spare himself, let alone others. He knew that if he wanted to achieve his purposes, he had to look at himself before dealing with others.He had to use everything he could, even if it meant sacrificing himself for himself, but not to the point of killing himself; Otherwise, what was the meaning of using himself? After all, he had to live to achieve his purposes. To him, existence came first before everything else. That was why he even burned his own skin so that he could live.He might look like an insane person to the others, but there was sanity behind this insanity. Was the person who followed his emotions insane or the one who could even control his emotions insane?"Help me…help, someone… please help…me," Yang Zhai was s
The next day,Yang Zhai opened his eyes and looked around. What he saw was an empty wooden room. He looked around and examined. He had just woken up from his sleep. Even though he had pretended to be unconscious, he still needed to sleep. Therefore, when he saw that everything was alright, he fell asleep to give a rest to his mind. Right now, he was lying on a wooden bed.After a while, a man walked in, he was Ju Jingyi. When he saw that Yang Zhai was awake, he said,"So, you are finally awake. Congratulations, you have passed the test, here is the emblem." Ju Jingyi handed a half-burned emblem to Yang Zhai."Huh, I passed. What about my teammates? Where are they?" Yang Zhai took the emblem and looked at Ju Jingyi before asking.Yang Zhai knew about all these things. He knew that he would pass the test as long as he had the emblem with him: therefore, he was not worried about not passing the test at all."Sigh, you are still aski
Another day passed,The three days that were given to the candidates had passed. Today, the results of the competition were decided and all of the kids in the class were present outside the village. This was because elder Wang had asked all of the candidates to be present, whether they passed the test or not.And the teams that passed would move to the second round."You all know the reason for all of you to be here. I just want to tell you that only four teams passed the test. And also, a tragedy happened during the competition. One of the teams encountered a problem during the competition and was caught in a forest fire." Elder Wang was standing in front of all the kids. He was serious when he spoke. From his expression, it could be seen that something bad was going to happen today.
Yang Zhai was sitting on his bed. He pulled out the bottle of Ginger Ointment and a small knife. After that, he slashed his right palm with the knife. A deep cut appeared on his palm and the blood began to fall on the towel that he had placed on the bed.He then applied a little bit of the Ginger Ointment paste to his wound. When he did that, the blood stopped. And the wound began to heal slowly. It was proof that the paste he used now was Ginger Ointment."It's real. This should do the work. Now, I should sleep and give my body a little rest." Yang Zhai stored the bottle of Ginger Ointment in his Bloody Storage Ka and slept.The next day,On the day of the second round of competition, ten kids were standing in a straight line. A total of four teams had passed the first round, and each team had three kids; so, there should have been twelve kids, but, since Yang Zhai was left alone from his team, only ten kids were going to compete in the second round.
"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?!
