Later, the Shenmu Tree shifted the branch where the small creatures resided and transported the two bewildered individuals over.“Teacher, class monitor, come, come, sit down. I’ll whip up something to eat,” Draken greeted the two puzzled people cheerfully.How did it end? Onizuka had expected many of these tree demons to perish. To his surprise... It seemed like there wasn't much reduction in their numbers.Aunty Tempest God adjusted her feathers and straightened her disheveled plumage. She was also injured, but it was within manageable limits. Despite numerous wounds, it was considered minor among demons.Shenmu stated, “The Chaosang clan still needs to stabilize the earth veins, so they can’t craft that clay pot for now.”The entire mountain peak was covered in ice and snow, and the earth's veins grew increasingly turbulent. Without prompt intervention, the entire Myriad Beast Mountain would soon be affected.The Earthworm was integral to Myriad Beast Mountain, and its demise cause
York reacted first. Though he was the weakest, he remained uninjured and had not expended much energy, making his condition the most favorable among the trio.However, when the Hundred-eyed Magic Crow appeared, he failed to react in time. Even as Emico and Primo were struck by the crow feathers, he remained slow to respond. It wasn't until Rosie emitted a burst of intense malice, causing most of the crow feathers to redirect their attack, that he finally reacted.Yet, despite his efforts, two feathers still remained. While he could react, his speed couldn't match the unfolding events. Despite being closest to Draken, he only sprang into action after the three small creatures were injured in succession.“Draken!” York's heart screamed, his eyes wide with alarm. He reached out to Draken, but his movements seemed sluggish compared to the rapid assault of the Hundred-eyed Magic Crow. He could almost feel the disdain in the crow's gaze.“Move! Move!” York's internal roar echoed with anger
Memories of the past flooded his mind, and York was a little dazed.Elementary school.“Daddy, Mommy! I’m the class monitor!”On this day, York, who was only six years old, returned home with his school bag and excitedly shared his joy with his parents.His mother gently took the bag and rubbed York’s head.”Baby is awesome!”“Mom, don’t call me Baby anymore!” York said shyly. I’m the class monitor now, so I need to be more dignified.”His parents burst into laughter.“Prestige?”His father picked up Xiao York and placed him on his lap. He asked, ‘”‘Then, son, what do you think a class monitor is?”“The class monitor is the most outstanding person in the class! The best child! My classmates are so envious of me!”“Yes, the most outstanding person and the best child. That’s true, but not all of them.” Class monitor,” his father said,” means responsibility. Do you know what responsibility it is?”“I know! Collect your homework!”“Yes, but not all of them.”“For example, when a classmate
Draken was using the Iron Palm to cook. Perhaps because the ingredients were too high-grade, it was difficult to cook them quickly with the current level of the Iron Palm.Therefore, perhaps it was because of the stimulation of this kind of aura that the proficiency of Draken’s Iron Palm increased rapidly, and it had already reached the level of perfection. His palms were extremely black, black to the extreme, and even slightly white, like, black to the point of shining.As his mastery of the skill increased, Draken’s Iron Palm was still slowly approaching the fifth level, the ‘Superb’.He could even rely on his blood essence power to send out a flaming palm print that was three meters away from his body.At this stage, the Iron Palm could no longer be called the Iron Palm.Martial techniques like the Iron Palm were the prerequisite for learning some higher-level martial techniques. It was normal for them to suddenly become another martial technique as they practiced.Onizuka ate the
A few ‘strong’ tree demon brothers gathered in a circle around the Rock Dragon Lizard’s eggshell brought by Aunt Jing Lan.Inside the eggshell lay various demon beast lumps of meat, processed long ago, along with a variety of ‘seasonings’ contributed by the tree demon brothers.Draken stood beneath the eggshell, his hands raised high. His iron palms, extremely white, seemed to have solidified flames. A layer of hot white halo condensed on his palms, adhering to the bottom of the eggshell, functioning as a makeshift stove.Now, Draken’s Iron Palm had surpassed its regular scope, qualifying as a higher-level martial technique. Nonetheless, for simplicity, Draken still referred to it as Iron Palm.Onizuka was speechless. This was the first time he'd seen someone using Iron Palm to cook hotpot!Moreover, it seemed a bit absurd for a high school student to master Iron Palm to perfection during a martial examination!However, considering Draken's feats during this martial examination, Onizu
“Here, class monitor, eat quickly. They’re all delicacies. I saved them, especially for you.”“Draken…” York hesitated.He still had a rogue appendix in his stomach. Could he eat?Onizuka seemed to sense York’s hesitation. He cleared his throat and said, “York, go ahead and eat. I’ve examined your body. There won’t be any issues. As for your appendix… You can have it removed at the hospital when we return.”“Alright then,” York conceded, his apprehension easing.As he savored the delicious meal, York couldn’t shake off the lingering sense of disbelief. He had narrowly escaped death, and now, with his injuries miraculously healed, he couldn’t help but feel grateful for the unexpected turn of events.Draken, ever the thoughtful friend, had ensured that York didn’t miss out on the feast despite his unconscious state. His act of kindness warmed York's heart, reinforcing their bond of friendship forged through trials and challenges.Despite the bizarre circumstances and the lingering myste
"Why haven't you left yet?" Aunt Jing Lan inquired, her gaze falling on Onizuka, who remained rooted to the spot, a hint of uncertainty in her eyes.Onizuka, too, felt a twinge of discomfort. "Yeah, why haven't I left yet..." he mused aloud.Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Ancient Star Continent had lost its teleportation device upon arrival at the Myriad Beast Mountain Secret Realm. Unlike the examinees who entered via the martial examination's mystic realm teleportation device, those from the Ancient Star Continent had their teleportation marks imprinted on the secret plane teleportation devices they brought with them.With the loss of their equipment, only their imprints returned to Great Xia. Unable to be teleported back directly, they were left to rely on the gate for transportation."Cough, actually, I have something to discuss with the Sacred Mountain Tree," Onizuka interjected, changing the subject. "Sacred Mountain Tree, I wish to negotiate a deal with you. I hope you'll
Yun Cheng First Middle School.Flag-raising Square.Only the majority of the teaching staff, the teachers and students of Grade 12 Class 4, and some parents of the students were left.The students of Grade 12 Class 4 stood in front of the flag-raising platform with the teachers. In front of them were two coffins.That was their classmate’s coffin.Seven days ago, they entered the examination hall from here.Now, the students who were still alive were waiting for their classmates ‘bodies to return.The two students who had yet to return had their ‘Return Imprint’ that matched the ‘Teleportation Imprint’ on them. The school placed them in two coffins respectively to ensure that after the two students ‘returned, the young corpses that had been ravaged would no longer be exposed to the wilderness.In front of each coffin, a simple spiritual altar was built. On it were black and white photos of the two students and tributes.Although there weren’t many people in the flag-raising square, th
