The following morning, as the gentle rays of dawn illuminated the surroundings, Li Wuji remained quietly nestled in his tent. The events of the previous night lingered in his thoughts, mingling with the expectation of what lay ahead. He needed this moment of solitude to gather his strength and prepare for the challenges that awaited him.‘My wounds are healing up nicely.’ Li Wuji casually felt the clean bandages that were wrapped around his wounds with a light smile on his face. However, the tranquility of the morning was abruptly shattered by a piercing scream that tore through the air. It was a sound that sent shivers down Li Wuji's spine, a scream he recognized all too well. The familiar sound was of a warrior that was in a great deal of discomfort. ‘Anything that can cause a grown man to scream out in such a way, cannot mean the journey will be as smooth as I previously thought.’ Li Wuji could only sigh at the thought of his plans being derailed once again. Li Wuji's eyelids sl
"This is how it transpired..." Ge Dao went on to explain the events that took place at the eastern wall between Yuan Cai and Wei Dong. “At first I wanted to personally go to the wall and claim the head of that foolish guard, but I decided to report the situation to you first."After hearing Ge Dao's report, Master Wu put down his cup and stared into the empty space above while stroking his white beard. "I have taught you well Ge Dao, you were able to resist the urge to retaliate. Instead, you decided to consult your teacher for advice, I must say well done."Despite consuming excessive amounts of liquor, Master Wu was still able to literate his sentences clearly without stuttering in the slightest. It was natural for a cultivator at his level to suppress the dizziness effects of the liquorGe Dao nodded at his master as he silently appreciated the praise, he was bestowed earnestly it was during this time that Ge Dao silently admired his master's state.Despite being over sixty years o
After the disturbances in the camp subsided, Li Wuji was sitting quietly outside his tent, savoring some recently received warm broth. He was thinking about his goals for the future and a variety of other things."It's inappropriate that the beast has eluded my grasp thus far; however, I still have the opportunity to obtain the beast core that's still inside the body of that beast." With a simple expression on his face, Li Wuji submerged himself in the warm, juicy chunks of beef that bobbed in the soup. It was difficult to imagine what was going through his mind from the outside.Li Wuji had only been out of the Black Temple for a few days, having humiliatingly defeated Master Wei, the prison's overseer. To his dismay, he was unable to collect his reward, even though he was able to kill the white wolf with the beast core inside during that time."Brother Yang." A young man called out to Li Wuji as he was still sipping on the meaty broth. The jovial spirit behind the man's words was ea
"So, this is what has become of this part of the camp." Ge Dao said to himself, "It has become as pathetic as a refugee site." Most of the tents at the site were shut off completely; it was almost like the settlers didn't wish to leave their tents unless absolutely necessary."There must be someone who I can ask for guidance." Ge Dao was at a complete loss for where to start looking. He continued to walk around the area in hopes of finding someone who could help him find the tent Li Zhao was residing in. The hunt went on till he discovered a man cautiously coming out of one of the tents. Ge Dao cautiously crept up on him to avoid rousing him out. What an unusual man! Ge Dao said to himself, 'Why would an individual be moving so secretively in the midst of the day?' The individual in issue was obviously weak and fragile in shape, and he appeared to be close to eighty years old. In addition, he was exhausted from keeping quiet as much as possible."He's going through a lot of hardships
The reason Li Wuji had chosen to take up the task so quickly after recovering from his injuries was due to his insatiable hunger for power, it wasn’t something average martial practitioners like Chi Tang could understand. Despite making great progress with his Qi cultivation, Li Wuji understood he was lacking in terms of Body Refinement.‘That beast core should allow me to become a 1 Star Body refinement novice….’ Li Wuji understood that no matter how powerful his Qi Cultivation may be, it meant nothing if his body was still mortal making it susceptible to injury.The Body refinement ranks were as follows;[Body Refinement Beginner][Body Refinement Novice][Body Refinement Master][Body Refinement General][Body Refinement Lord][Body Refinement Sage]Li Wuji had been tempering his body all his life, but he wasn’t even a Body Refinement Beginner. It was imaginable the impact resources had on one’s cultivation progression, as the beast core of a White Wolf could easily allow to transc
As the footsteps grew nearer, the mysterious individual's arrival brought a temporary reprieve to Ge Dao's desperate situation. The air in the tent crackled with tension as everyone's attention shifted to the newcomer, their gazes filled with curiosity and wariness.‘Is that Li Zhao?’ Ge Dao gazed at the mysterious figure that had emerged from the tent, He was not sure of the man’s identity, however, due to the black robe he was wearing. The mysterious figure, shrouded in a dark robe that concealed their features, stepped forward with a commanding presence. Their voice, still and firm, sliced through the heavy silence. " Tang Luo, release him,” ordered the cloaked figure, their tone brooking no argument.The mysterious man turned his attention on the bald man, who reluctantly loosened his grip on Ge Dao's throat. Gasping for air, Ge Dao crumpled to the ground, clutching his throat and coughing as he regained his breath.As the tension eased slightly, the mysterious individual ordered
Li Wuji's contemplation was interrupted by a surprising rustling in the nearby bushes. The party instantly went into high alert, searching the dense undergrowth for any signs of movement with their guns at the ready. Yuan Yi steadied herself; her senses sharpened, and she was prepared for any threat that might be hiding in the shadows.The air grew tense as a man cautiously emerged from the woods. The man was skinny and had glinting, wicked eyes and a sly smirk. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" he questioned, swaggering arrogantly as he surveyed the group.Li Wuji's fist curled into a tight ball as he fixed the stranger with a stern stare. "Who are you, and what is your business here?" he asked, maintaining his composure and authority. Silently laughing, as though unmoved by the refusal, the man said. "Oh, just a wanderer passing through these parts,"[Devil Flame Fist Art 1st Move: Mad Devil]Li Wuji wasted no time in finishing his conversation with the odd man and threw dow
"Courting death…" In the face of this unrelenting saber move, Li Wuji sneered and countered with a vicious fist that hurled towards the saber slash like a meteorite. The vicious gale changed directions in an instant as the momentum had shockingly tilted. Yuan Yi and the party members were taken aback by the sudden change in circumstances.In one moment, they were awaiting certain death under Hang Feng's Tyrant Saber art when, all of a sudden, the attack was extinguished like nothing had transpired. This came as quite a shock to most of the party members, who were overwhelmed by the unending tribulations of fear and suspense."Our lives aren't even determined by us, but by the experts surrounding us." Yuan Yi had long realized this point and was willing to risk her life to join the upper echelons of the martial world; it didn't matter the price she had to pay.[3rd move of the Devil Flame Fist—Fist Demon]The ferocity of Li Wuji's fist could not be described in simple terms; it was lik
