The night enveloped Wi Village in darkness, like a woven cloth decorated with the whisper of the wind and the rhythmic chirping of crickets.
Several villagers patrolled, their footsteps muffled by the dew-wet ground, moving silently in the darkness. Among them is Wi Pek, an old man with ears sharper than an eagle. His sense of hearing picked up a sound - a low, deep and resonant hum, coming from the shadows beyond the rice fields. Wi Pek's eyes, although clouded by the fog of age, radiated a spark of alertness. he recognized the voice instantly. It was Wi Rang, the black tiger, Wi Dung's pet. Wi Rang, despite his wild blood, was raised in Wi Village since he was a tiger cub. He bears the surname Wi, proof of his acceptance in society, even though his lineage is different. The patrol stopped, their breaths caught in their chests. Wi Rang emerged from the darkness, a majestic silhouette under the moonlit sky. It was a creature of great power, its black fur gleaming like polished obsidian. it stopped in front of the villagers, its golden yellow eyes fixed on them, then let out a low, shuddering hum. It raised its claws, claws outstretched, and pointed them at the dense forest that bordered the village. “It seems like the Fu Clan is making a move,” Wi Pek whispered, his voice barely audible above the noise of the night. The implied meaning in his words felt heavy in the air. The Fu Clan, renowned for its cruel martial arts and insatiable thirst for power, is on the move. The villagers exchanged anxious glances. The Fu Clan's reputation preceded them, its terrifying legends whispered in hushed voices around shimmering campfires. Their martial arts are brutal and efficient, honed over generations of conflict and bloodshed. News of the Fu Clan's arrival spread like wildfire in the village. The peaceful rhythm of nightlife was shattered, replaced by frantic energy. Villagers, armed with whatever they can find - farming tools, sharp sticks, even kitchen knives - prepare for the inevitable conflict. they know they are far outnumbered, but they will defend their home, their family, and their way of life to the death. Wi Dung stood at the front after hearing the news that the Fu Clan had returned. "We have to survive, we can't just give upthis life is ours. We unite for victory!” he shouted with burning passion. Although there were many people who had doubts, one thing was certain: they did not want to be oppressed by the Fu Clan. "Long live the Wi Clan!" exclaimed one of the residents. from one voice, to ten, and growing, the echo of the cheers echoed throughout the village. Even women, both young and old, as well as children, took up arms. This is their last line of defense. they know that if they don't fight, everything they love will be lost. Meanwhile, inside his room, Wi Dar, the elder of the Wi Clan, couldn't fight. He lay weak, his body struggling with the pain from the wounds from the previous afternoon's fight. "Hopefully the Patriarch returns quickly. Because only he can possibly handle it!" he mumbled, hope and doubt mixed into one. With all his strength, he tried to get up. His hand reached for the weapon lying beside his bed, even though the wound was still open and causing him pain. However, his enthusiasm was no less strong. He knew that the Patriarch's existence was very important to the Wi Clan, and he hoped that he could provide support even in his weak state. Outside, the sound of cheering grew stronger. The villagers are united, their fighting spirit is burning. They know that today is a day of reckoning, and they are ready to fight for their rights, for the life they love. Wi Dar closed his eyes for a moment, gathering his strength, hoping to immediately join them and protect his village from the threat of the Fu Clan. * At that time, hundreds of people came with complete weapons and armor made of iron. Their spears gleamed sharply under the moonlight, creating a terrifying and majestic sight. "Destroy the Wi Clan!" shouted Fu Tao, Patriarch of the Fu Clan, releasing his orders with a resounding voice, shaking the spirits of his soldiers. on the other side, Wi Dung also shouted, "Release the arrow!" His voice was full of courage, moving the hearts of the village defenders. About a dozen people stood at the ruins of Wi Village's gate, ready to fight. They raised their bows and released arrows, which whizzed against the wind. Swoosh! Swoosh! The wind whistled, accompanied by enthusiastic shouts from both parties. The atmosphere became increasingly tense, every second felt like a year. Wi Dung stepped forward, taking over the leadership position previously held by the injured Wi Dar. he knew that this was a fateful moment for the Wi Clan. His sword gleamed with fiery energy, a light that radiated courage and determination. Beside him, Wi Rang, the loyal black tiger, protected Wi Dung with agile movements. wi Rang anticipated every attack that came, his claws ready to tear apart any enemy who dared to approach. With its sharp instincts, the tiger becomes an invaluable ally in this battle. When attacks from the Fu Clan began to rain down on them, Wi Dung showed extraordinary courage. he moved quickly, leading the counterattack with great strategy. Every move of his sword was a mix of power and grace, cutting down any opponent who tried to break through their defenses. The other villagers, inspired by Wi Dung's courage and Wi Rang's strength, fought wholeheartedly. They are not only fighting for themselves, but for the entire village, for a better future. The sound of shouts and the clanging of weapons filled the air, creating a symphony of courage and tension. The battle between the Wi Clan and the Fu Clan was getting fiercer. With each attack launched, hope and fear stepped aside in turn. however, in the hearts of every Wi Clan warrior, there was the belief that they would not give up. They will fight to the last drop of blood to defend their home and homeland.The series of sounds of weapons sounded terrifying, accompanied by screams of pain, death and agony from the injuries suffered.The Wi Clan people were very weak now, they were retreating slowly, even Wi Dung who was the leader lost one arm, while the Black Tiger was growling, there were several stab wounds on his body. but many of the enemy were also injured. especially after the arrival of Zhi Hao to help with an arrow from behind. Now that Zhi Hao was on the front line, he couldn't let the Fu Clan run rampant. "Young man, were you the one who killed my little brother?" Fu Tao asked, looking at the unwavering Zhi Hao. "Is the person you mean, the person who only has one eye?" Zhi Hao asked. He didn't really want to answer, but in order to buy time for the Patriarch of the Wi Clan to come, he had to speak. with his current strength, he wasn't sure he could defeat all of them who were actually at the average Earth level.Zhi Hao was informed by Wi Dung that the Patriarch of the Wi C
Zhi Hao was annoyed and tired. Every day, from dawn to dusk, he swung his sword thousands of times in his spacious backyard, hoping that there would be progress in his abilities. However, each time, all he felt was deep fatigue and mounting frustration. His body was sweaty, his muscles tensed, but his skills remained in the same place. In the silence of the night, Zhi Hao sat pensively by the pool. The reflection of his face in the pool water showed a look of deep disappointment. "Being the first son should bring blessings, but mewill only be a source of disappointment," he muttered softly. Shame haunted every corner of his mind, especially when he remembered the ridicule and insults he often received because he was considered weak. Zhi Hao took a deep breath, trying to calm the chaos in his heart. "Will my life continue like this, trapped in helplessness with no hope of growth?" he asked himself. He knew his family, especially his father, expected more from him. In his despair, Zh
Zhi Hao knew that if he stayed there, there would only be insults to him. Even though he was annoyed and furious, it wouldn't change anything. "If I act impulsively, it will only lead me to destruction. Who will help, father? The clan? That's absolutely impossible." in his heart he thought as he took a step away. Zhi Hao clenched his jaw, trying to suppress the anger burning in his chest. With every word Xiao Bei sprinkled, it was like acid that eroded his heart and self-esteem. He knew very well that every minute he spent in that place would only increase his suffering. "You are nothing more than trash at our feet!" shouted Xiao Bei in a voice full of disdain. The voice blared in Zhi Hao's ears, piercing into his tired soul. Bang! One kick is fired. Xiao Bei's eyes sparkled with satisfaction as he watched Zhi Hao stagger from his kick. "Go away, before I make you even more humiliated!" Xiao Bei exclaimed, pushing Zhi Hao with his foot. Zhi Hao felt blood trickle down the corner
In an instant, Zhi Hao contorted his body, dodging the incoming attack. When the opponent's sword slashed towards his head, he nimbly rolled to the side, saving himself from the deadly attack. With a gasp, he quickly got up and ran through the dense forest. However, in his escape, his foot tripped over a wooden root sticking out of the ground, as if a trap rope had been waiting for him. Zhi Hao fell heavily, hearing mocking laughter from his opponent who witnessed the incident. "Hahaha, you're funny too, catching crickets, aren't you?" taunted his opponent in a mocking tone. Annoyance burned in Zhi Hao's chest. In a voice choked with anger, he replied, "What crickets, you damn thing!" he cursed loudly. His heart was in turmoil, shame and anger mixed into one. In the midst of the chaos, another figure suddenly appeared beside him. That person was carrying a gleaming sword, ready to attack. With quick reflexes, Zhi Hao drew his sword from his waist, his sharp eyes glaring at the unex
"Wi Rang, enough!" shouted the figure who came down from the tree branch, while stroking the big head of the black tiger which was snoring softly. His eyes then fell on Zhi Hao, with a sharp and mysterious gaze, he asked, “Son of Man, how did you end up here?”With wide eyes, Zhi Hao returned the gaze. "Is this place not part of the Human world?" he said, his trembling voice betraying his fear and confusion. In his mind, he recalled a legend he had read in the Clan Library—about a hidden world, barely bordering on the real world. A legend he never thought would come true."Ah, you are in the Soft Realm," Wi Dung sighed, as if it was hard to explain. "This place is a circle of Magical Creatures, not for humans like you.""But, old man, I see no difference between us!" Zhi Hao protested in a firm tone."Indeed, physically we may be similar," Wi Dung nodded slowly, the evening sun reflecting off his twinkling eyes with meaning. "But what separates us is the line of nature; we are confin
"Elder, please forgive me for my audacity to ask. What is the meaning of 'semblance' you mentioned? I have never felt any hidden power within me either," said Zhi Hao in confusion."Follow me!" Elder Wi Dar's voice sounded mysterious. He then approached a Mirror and, with a dazzling step, penetrated it as if it were soft. Zhi Hao froze, his eyes wide in disbelief. "Come on in, don't hesitate." Uncertainty was clearly visible on Zhi Hao's face. Although confused as to how the Mirror could possibly be penetrated, he did not ask any further questions, determined to find the answer. "Maybe behind all this is hidden the secret of my strength. I have to get up, I can no longer feel like I'm useless," he thought with burning determination.With a new boost of courage, Zhi Hao took steady steps towards the Mirror. Quick as lightning, his world changed—he was now on an Island floating in the boundless sky."This place is the Tomb of the God of Destruction. "He left important notes and I am hi
Every time dawn breaks, Zhi Hao stands tall at the top of Mount Qianlong, where the air is still clear of the noise of the world. His right leg was tied tightly to a pine tree branch that grew on the edge of the cliff, while his body floated in the air, depending only on the strength of the rope and his body's balance. His eyes were closed, his breathing evenly following the natural rhythm of his surroundings. The mountain wind blew gently, challenging the stability of his body which was already at its limit.In the afternoon, after performing a series of physical exercises that had been prescribed by the Heaven Crushing Scripture, Zhi Hao returned to the same peak. This time, sweat dripped down his tense face, showing how hard his training had been. His left leg was now tied, and he was hanging upside down, facing the sky which was starting to turn orange as the sun set. Every movement is a struggle, every breath is an effort to maintain focus and balance.Zhi Hao bit his lip when th
Wi Dar, with his tactics and courage, led the Wi Clan Troops in the middle of a tense battlefield. He gripped his sword tightly, fighting against the sudden wave of attacks from the Fu Clan. in the fierce battle, many of his brothers in arms died, and a deep sadness struck his heart when he saw Wi Village destroyed to pieces.On the other hand, Wi Dung, who was previously evacuating children and the elderly, now returned with burning eyes, ready to face the enemy. His strong figure entered the fighting arena, but his heart was immediately hit by a wound when he saw Wi Dar bleeding from Fu Yao's sword. gasping for breath, he shouted, "Elder!"At that moment, a shock occurred that cut his breath. A silhouette fell before Wi Dung's eyes. With sharp eyes, he examined and immediately recognized the figure who had long disappeared from his memory. "Isn't that Zhi Hao, the Human Child that I helped?" he whispered almost in disbelief. The aura emanating from Zhi Hao was no longer weak, but a
