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. Then, he threw the wooden sword and shouted, "Bone-piercing wooden sword!" Renggin Ang combined the wooden sword technique with his own wind sword move.
Whuuuus!
Sleeeb!
The wooden sword shot swiftly, piercing through the throat and out the monster chicken's rear. After that, Renggin Ang pulled the wooden sword back into his hands, and the monster chicken was dead.
The chicken's carcass transformed into a deep brown pearl. Renggin Ang picked it up and threw the pearl to the girl.
"Take this!"
The girl caught it deftly.
"Why are you giving it to me? Didn't you defeat it?"
"Just now, you said that chicken belonged to you, right? Or consider it a gift from me," Renggin Ang grinned. Then he left, saying to the girl, "See you again, fire girl! I must continue my journey."
"Fire girl? Huh!" The girl snorted. Then, several guards approached her.
"Miss Yu, are you okay? You suddenly disappeared without a trace and made us worried," said one of the guards.
"I'm fine. Let's go back to the camp!" she replied.
Meanwhile, Renggin was still searching for ajw fruit. By the evening, he found a tree.
The trunk of the tree was scaly, and its leaves resembled coconut palms. The fruit of the tree, which was orange-yellow, was still unripe. Its texture was hard and dense. The ripe fruit would turn black. When bitten, it felt soft in the mouth and filling for the stomach.
"Hey, isn't this the ajw fruit?" asked Renggin Ang, pointing to the fruit in question. He placed his bundle of provisions next to the tree.
"Correct," replied Suluh.
Then Renggin Ang picked some fruits. Suddenly, from behind the tree emerged a monster snake. This snake was not venomous. However, it had been dwelling there long enough to possess a medium-level ferocity aura. Its strength was comparable to that of a warrior level.
Sssss ....
The snake flicked its tongue while glaring sharply at Renggin Ang. The boy trembled in fear.
"Ru-run!"
Just three steps after Renggin Ang moved, the monster snake whipped its tail and tightly coiled around him.
Renggin Ang tried to escape using the wind slash technique. However, it had no effect on the snake. Then, he attempted to fight back again with the wind sword technique. Unfortunately, its scales were too thick, and the snake received no scratches at all.
The snake tightened its coil around Renggin Ang's body. The boy felt as if he were being squeezed, blood seeping from his skin pores.
"Aaargh!" he groaned. "Hey, Suluh! Can't you help me?"
"I can't, my power is measured depending on who wields me. You must be at least at the swordsman level to defeat it."
"Then, what should I do? Aargh, this hurts."
"There's nothing you can do unless a miracle occurs."
"Will I die like this? Mother, forgive me. Ampy, forgive your brother." Renggin Ang closed his eyes, crying in surrender. His body was covered in his fresh blood.
The boy's condition weakened, and his vision began to blur. Suddenly, an ancient book tucked in his clothes shook. The book shone brightly, revealing its mysteries.
Will the book bring a miracle to save Renggin Ang's life?

Seeing Ampy Ang in a bad state made Renggin Ang confused. He bit his fingernails."Calm down, Ampy Ang is trying to open the first meridian point in her body," Meriy Ang said."What? Isn't it supposed to feel like your body is exploding and feels like it's on fire?" Renggin Ang recalled the time when he first cultivated."Ampy Ang's spiritual power is cold, like Mom's. Unlike you, who has hot spiritual power, Renggin Ang.""Oh, I see."Ampy Ang had successfully opened the first meridian point. Currently, the girl was still struggling to defend herself while Renggin Ang sat casually in front of her, arms crossed."I'm sure you can handle it yourself. Right, my little sister?" The boy smirked."Aaaaargh!"Ampy Ang's body slightly hunched over. She began to close her eyes with an expression like someone trying to hold in a fart.

"You can learn all the knowledge that Mom has mastered. It is all recorded in that book." Meriy Ang pointed to the book whose cover was labeled N-O-V-E-L. "This is because your spiritual energy is more compatible with Mom's eagle techniques, Ampy Ang."Ampy Ang opened the book, page by page, starting from the first page. She quickly understood the contents of the book. After that, she handed it to Renggin Ang.Renggin Ang opened the last chapter of the book.

Ampy Ang led Renggin Ang toward a ravine. They encountered three adults laughing with satisfaction."Ssst," whispered Ampy Ang, placing her finger in front of her lips.The siblings hid behind a mound of earth while spying. Ampy Ang knew that the three adults had thrown someone into the ravine. The child had not fallen yet; he was firmly gripping a tree root that jutted out from the cliff."What’s wrong with those three adults?" Renggin Ang asked Ampy Ang."They're throwing someone into the ravine.""What?!""Ssst. Wait for them to leave. The child can still hold on longer.""The child? The one they threw?"The girl nodded. While waiting for the three adults to leave, Ampy Ang took some banana leaves.

"Ide?" Renggin Ang tilted her head."In the west, there are three groups, and in the east, there are also three groups. If the Lin Family's entourage arrives, the middle groups will signal. You must eliminate all the groups that do not signal quietly. This way, the Lin Family can easily eliminate the remaining two groups," explained Ampy Ang."Me? How can I possibly eliminate them? There are too many.""Oh dear!" Ampy Ang sighed. "Use wind slashes or wind sword! Don't use the Wain Hatchi technique; it will create a commotion.""But, aren't there spies within the Lin Family's entourage?""Oh my...." Ampy Ang covered her face with one hand.

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 ...."

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.

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.

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.

"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!"

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.

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!"

"This aura... I recognize it." The spirit of Meriy Ang emerged from the ancient book to seek the aura she recognized. How surprised she was to find the old man who had once witnessed her marriage to Seta Hun. "You... Uncle Berta Hun!"Elder Mo responded with a wink. "He... isn't that the spirit of Seta Hun's wife? Could it be..." The old man glanced at the child in front of him."He is my eldest son," Meriy Ang introduced Renggin Ang.Renggin Ang looked confused. "Elder Mo can see my mother?""Hahahaha." Suddenly, Elder Mo burst into laughter. The tense atmosphere turned strange with his laughter."Has Elder Mo gone mad?" whispered the first elder to the second elder.The second elder replied by raising both shoulders, indicating indifference."Gun Ting, register this child as our student," Elder Mo said to one of the training teachers under his guidance."Understood, Elder."After the selection of new students was completed, Elder Mo received eight new disciples.
