“That's right. I don't know what they're planning to do with this formation.”

“Could it be ....” Meriy Ang gripped her husband's hand tightly. “Could they really have gotten the book?”

It was true what Meriy Ang had said. One of the seven Masters took out an ancient book. The book flew up and opened.

“Flutter of eagle wings!” Meriy Ang knocked Seta Hun backward, out of formation.

The seven masters did not realize that Seta Hun had left the formation. They were too busy performing the soul-sealing technique quickly.

After pushing Seta Hun, Meriy Ang's body felt pressure. Instantly, the mysterious book gave off a sparkle of light. Meriy Ang's body shook. He felt immense pain. Something was forcibly sucking her soul into the book.

“Aaaaaaaaargh!” she screamed.

Her body fell down. Seta Hun tried to grab her but was blocked by the seven pillars made by the Masters. After Meriy Ang's soul was sealed, the book closed and was thrown toward Renggin Ang. I don't know what had made the book suddenly fall in front of him. The mysterious book seemed to choose Renggin Ang as its owner.

The masters stared at Renggin Ang with piercing eyes. A murderous aura peaked around them.

“Renggin Ang! Quick, get out of here! Take the book and your sister! I'm sorry I can't be with you anymore.” Seta Hun's tears involuntarily welled up. The farewell he never thought would happen at this time.

“Bu... but, Father.”

“Hurry up and leave! Father won't allow you to look back!” Seta Hun turned Renggin Ang around.

Renggin Ang began to walk with his brother away from that place. When they had gone far enough, there was a loud explosion behind them.

BOOOM!

The explosion made Renggin Ang disobey his father. He turned his head and saw Seta Hun's body smashed to pieces.

“Ayaaah!” he shouted, getting up again.

However, Ampy Ang gripped his brother's hand firmly to restrain him. “Do you want to waste your father's sacrifice?” the little girl said.

Renggin Ang stopped. She thought for a moment. “Let's go!” The boy squatted down, motioning for Ampy Ang to climb onto his back. Then she ran off, carrying her sister with teary eyes.

Ampy Ang saw a hidden cave. The cave was covered in thick bushes. “Look bro! There's a cave over there!” she pointed.

“Where?” asked Renggin Ang.

“Use your strength to get rid of those bushes!”

Renggin Ang pushed the bushes aside with a wind slash. A mossy cave appeared. Since it was getting late, they decided to hide in the cave. When the two siblings entered, they encountered a spider monster with the second stage of low ferocity.

Ampy Ang's eyes rounded when she saw something darting towards Renggin Ang, at that moment Ampy Ang shouted loudly.

“Brother, watch out!”

"That's right. I don't know what they are planning with this formation."

"Could it be..." Meriy Ang tightly grasped her husband's hand. "Could it be that they really have gotten that book?"

Indeed, what Meriy Ang said was correct. One of the seven Masters pulled out an ancient book. The book flew into the air and opened.

"Eagle's wing flap!" Meriy Ang pushed Seta Hun back, forcing him out of the formation.

The seven Masters were unaware that Seta Hun had exited the formation. They were too busy quickly performing soul sealing techniques.

After pushing Seta Hun away, Meriy Ang's body felt pressured. Suddenly, the mysterious book emitted a dazzling light. Meriy Ang's body shook. She felt an excruciating pain. Something was forcibly sucking her soul to enter the book.

"Aaaaaaaaargh!" she screamed.

Her body fell. Seta Hun tried to reach her but was blocked by the seven pillars created by the Masters. Once Meriy Ang's soul was sealed, the book closed and was thrown towards Renggin Ang. It was as if the book had chosen Renggin Ang as its new owner.

The Masters stared at Renggin Ang with piercing eyes. A murderous aura surged around them.

"Renggin Ang! Quickly, get out of here! Take the book and your sister! Forgive your father for not being able to accompany you any longer." Tears streamed down Seta Hun's face without him realizing. The farewell he never expected was happening now.

"But... Father."

"Quickly go! Father does not allow you to look back!" Seta Hun turned Renggin Ang around.

Renggin Ang began to step away while holding his sister's hand, moving away from the spot. When they were far enough, a tremendous explosion sounded behind them.

BOOOM!

The explosion made Renggin Ang disobey his father's order. He turned to see Seta Hun's body shattered into pieces.

"Faaather!" he cried out, about to run back.

But Ampy Ang firmly gripped her brother's hand to hold him back. "Do you want to waste Father's sacrifice?" the little girl said.

Renggin Ang paused. He thought for a moment. "Let's go!" The boy crouched down, signaling for Ampy Ang to get on his back. Then he ran while carrying his sister with teary eyes.

Ampy Ang spotted a hidden cave. The cave was covered by thick bushes. "Look, Brother! There's a cave over there!" she pointed.

"Where?" Renggin Ang asked.

"Use your power to clear away those bushes!"

Renggin Ang pushed aside the bushes with a wind slashing technique. A damp cave appeared. As night was approaching, they decided to hide in that cave. When the two siblings entered, they encountered a low-level second-stage spider monster.

Ampy Ang's eyes widened as she saw something rush toward Renggin Ang, and at that moment, she screamed loudly.

"Brother, WATCH OUT!"

In six months, there will be a family competition. If you have the guts, participate in this competition, and that day will be your death day!" shouted Bara Ang."Haha. He won't be able to join the competition. To participate, one must at least be at the fifth warrior level. I doubt he can break through three levels in six months," said Say Ang.They walked past Renggin Ang, sneering."Hmph! So arrogant!" Suluh, the spirit of the wooden sword, hissed. "If you want, I can possess their bodies and destroy their cultivation.""No need. Whatever they say, the important thing right now is that I must find the antidote for Ampy Ang as soon as possible.

    "My foolish magician, you can rely on me this time," said Suluh.Renggin Ang spread his arms to protect the girl behind him."Take shelter behind me, Miss.""What can a second-stage warrior cultivator like you do?" the girl asked, doubting Renggin Ang.A cultivator can estimate the rank of another cultivator by observing their spiritual energy aura. This applies to ranks lower than their own. Therefore, it is very difficult to gauge the rank of cultivators who are at a higher level."Heh, just watch," replied Renggin Ang with a smile.Petooooook!Once again, the chicken used its beak to peck at them."Follow my instructions," said Suluh.Renggin Ang nodded.With instructions from the wooden sword spirit, the boy used a wind slash technique to open the monster chicken's mouth.

    "Huaaaaaa!" Bara Ang screamed in shock, falling backward.The giant fish created a layer of scales to trap Renggin Ang and Bara Ang within its territory."How dare you enter my domain! Do you think I will let you go so easily?" the fish shouted."Y-you ... can talk?" Bara Ang said in surprise.Renggin Ang felt no surprise, as he had spoken to his spiritual beast spirit before."Hey, Bethik Fish! We just came to take a bottle of water to quench our thirst on our journey. We have no intention of disturbing you. Besides, we truly had no idea this lake was your domain," Renggin Ang explained."I don't care. I will make you my dinner tonight. Haha, it has been a long time since I feasted on a cultivator's flesh."Bara Ang kept running away until he crashed into the wall of scales created by the fish. "Damn! I can't get out of here," he exclaimed.Swoosh!The fish attacked Renggin Ang with a spray of water. Renggin Ang crossed his arms and defended against the attack with his shell-like shi

    "Aaaaaaaaargh!"Pain, fatigue, and weakness—that's what Ba Ju felt at that moment. He felt powerless.

Even supporting his body to remain standing was beyond his capability.Thud!Finally, he fell.Suddenly, the atmosphere turned silent. The cheers of Ba Ju's fans vanished without uttering a word.Bara Ang felt the same. "What is this? Since when did he become that strong?" he murmured in disbelief.In the elders' meeting room, Elder Mo stood up from his seat. "What a pity, you have wasted that talented child, and now that child is mine." The old man smiled proudly. Then, he returned to his residence."Hmm ...."

    The training master from the First Elder brought Renggin Ang and Ba Ju into a room. In that room, there were many circular carvings with various patterns. Each circle contained a spiritual stone of a different color."What kind of circle is this?" Renggin Ang murmured to himself.The spirit Meriy Ang appeared and hovered behind Renggin Ang. "This circle is called a spiritual circle. The Academy Leader specifically created this circle to form an empty room and turn this room into a competition arena," he explained."The Academy Leader must be a very great person," said Renggin Ang."He is Grandpa Mo's comrade-in-arms," Meriy Ang revealed."What! No wonder the other elders dare not disturb him when he is asleep.""Hey! Are you frustrated and feel it’s impossible to defeat Young Master Ju, that you’ve gone crazy?" scolded the training master, seeing Renggin Ang talking to himself because he could not see the spirit Meriy Ang.Renggin Ang came to his senses. He had to enter the door in fr

    A little girl appeared from behind a tree. "Hihi." She pulled Shen Tie Er out of her hiding place and approached Renggin Ang.Renggin Ang pinched the girl's cheek and said, "You know? I was really worried about you. You were playing hide and seek instead?""Ouch," Ampy Ang whimpered, rubbing her cheek."You misunderstood, Sir. Actually, Ampy Ang came here to meet you. It’s just that... she’s a bit mischievous," Shen Tie Er said with a smile."Wow, your sister really has good taste, Chief. Even though she’s only a fifth-stage warrior, her beauty is extraordinary," whispered San Tai to Renggin Ang."Shut your mouth!" Renggin Ang silenced San Tai and gently pushed him aside. "Step aside; I want to talk to this Miss!"San Tai stepped back and allowed Renggin Ang to speak with Shen Tie Er.Just then, Ampy Ang noticed a group of people approaching them. The girl murmured, "There are a lot of people walking this way.""Come with me!" Ampy Ang urged as she hurriedly led Li Lin away on her spi

    Some time ago, before Li Lin met Renggin Ang, he encountered Ampy Ang. At that time, Ampy Ang was helping Shen Tie Er escape from the Shen Family group while they were trading.Ampy Ang sensed someone was practicing nearby. What made Ampy Ang sure to approach him was the familiar aura of a decayed sword he recognized."There’s an aura I know around here," said Ampy Ang to Shen Tie Er.Then, they met the person, who turned out to be Li Lin."You... Li Lin?!" Ampy Ang exclaimed, surprised to see him.However, Li Lin was not startled because he essentially couldn't see. At that moment, Li Lin intended to merge his body with the wooden sword spirit so he could borrow its eyes to see."Wh-who are you?" Li Lin asked. He felt a familiarity with the voice of the person in front of him."Y-you're the younger sibling of that boy..." interrupted Suluh."Ampy Ang?!" guessed Li Lin."Correct.""Ah, I'm glad you are okay. I'm happy that you two could meet."Meet? Ampy thought, and he understood Li

    Suddenly, Renggin Ang's expression changed to displeasure. "Do you want to hunt Young Master Lin and exchange him for diamonds? You should know he is my friend. So, this matter is my concern," he said in a pressing tone."You—you're friends with him? Ah, sorry. I won't be tempted by diamonds." Gun Ting turned away.Renggin Ang also turned around. "Flying pig technique!" He flew and landed on the back of the monster."Come on! Don't interfere with his business. Let's look for spiritual animals elsewhere!" The young man ordered his disciples."Sorry, Senior. I'm going to fight with Renggin Ang," Go Yang said, slightly bowing his body."We'll also go help Renggin Ang, Senior," Lan Tai and San Tai added."Huft. If you don't want to help, then go! I will stay here with them," An Ting said to Gun Ting's group."We will help too.""That's right. The leader has helped us a lot in the training forest.""We should help him.""The Modar Sect must remain united wherever we are."The four students

    "This kid is really sleeping and dreaming? How can he control his body while he is asleep?" Gun Ting said, feeling strange."This... is a unique technique found only in that ancient book. I didn't expect this kid to master it so quickly," Elder Mo murmured.Groook... grooook... fiuh... nyam... nyam.The beautiful sound of Renggin Ang's snoring with rhythmic notes made the blood of everyone listening boil until it evaporated into their brains."Damn! Hey, you stinky kid... are you looking down on me?!" Gun Ting shouted to himself."Haish, it's really annoying!" An Ting hissed."Red ant bite!" Gun Ting attacked Renggin Ang using his spiritual beast.Renggin Ang defended with a snail shell shield, then the boy counterattacked with the blood-penetrating worm. Initially, the blood throughout Gun Ting's body bubbled like chickenpox. Then the bubbles burst, causing serious wounds to Gun Ting."Aaaaargh!" Gun Ting screamed in pain.Everyone watching was astonished by Renggin Ang, including El

    In the morning, Elder Mo specifically came to see his students practice. The old man combined Gun Ting's and An Ting's students into one group."Where is that kid?" Elder Mo asked, searching for someone."Are you referring to Renggin Ang, Elder?" An Ting replied, asking back."Yes, where is he?"An Ting turned to Go Yang. "Hey, Brother Yang, aren't you roommates with Renggin Ang? Where is he?""Umm... well, Renggin Ang... he..." Go Yang said, a bit scared that his honesty would put Renggin Ang in danger. However, he could only surrender and hope Renggin Ang was okay. "He is still sound asleep, even until now. I've tried waking him up, but he still won't get up.""Heh, that kid seems to have quite the nerve. I specifically came here to test him," Elder Mo said with a flushed face. "Gun Ting, follow me to his room!""Ready, Elder!" Gun Ting followed Elder Mo.Meanwhile, Renggin Ang, who appeared to be sound asleep, was actually training with the whiskered worm in his subconscious. He cr

    In the courtyard of the Fifth Elder's residence, Renggin Ang and his three friends practiced until the evening."You must focus on perfecting the formation of your spiritual beasts if you want to control them!" An Ting shouted at her students. "Remember! An imperfect spiritual beast cannot be controlled! Do you understand?""Understood, Teacher!" replied Renggin Ang and his three friends."Ahem. From now on, just call me Senior An Ting.""Okay, Senior.""Good!" An Ting said, satisfied. "I’m going to the library to borrow a book. You all keep practicing!" The woman left them.An Ting herself had a mosquito as her spiritual beast, while Gun Ting had an ant. An Ting and Gun Ting were the worst training teachers at the academy. For years, they were the only ones who managed to endure under Elder Mo's guidance.In the past, other children who became Elder Mo's students preferred to return to their respective homes rather than continue to endure oppression at the academy without any compass
