The air rippled with anticipation, the scent of ozone filling the air. A colossal hand, larger than any human could swing, swung with terrifying speed, its massive fingers reaching out for a figure streaking through the forest.Swoosh!Swoosh!the sound of the hand's movements echoed through the trees, each stroke a blur of movement.That figure, a young man named Zhi Hao, also became blurry. He danced through the forest, his movements flowing and graceful, dodging the giant hand with unexpected ease."You won't be able to escape from me, give up!" Shouted a voice from the darkness, a voice that seemed to shake the ground beneath them.The voice belonged to Xiao Mandai, a powerful Swordsman whose body was a strange combination of flesh and metal. Its monstrous form is a testament to its unrelenting pursuit of power, a power that has surpassed the limits of human potential.Zhi Hao, however, was no ordinary Swordsman. he was a young man with a heart of gold, a master of the Lightning S
Zhi Sao shook his head slowly. "That's not it, kid. It's just that you won't improve if you only stay in this small town. I want you to go to the sect to train."Zhi Hao fell silent. Sect... The word is always accompanied by a mystical and mysterious aura. He had heard stories about sects of extraordinary power, where young warriors honed their skills to the pinnacle of perfection. However, he also knew that the world of sects was full of danger and intrigue."Sect? I'll think about it, Father!" Zhi Hao replied, his voice sounding uncertain.Zhi Sao nodded, his eyes sparkling. "You already know that I am not your biological father. But you are still my son. Forget our disputes in the past."Zhi Hao was stunned. He did know that Zhi Sao was not his biological father."I never considered any disagreements, Dad. I know that Dad always protected me in silence, even though he looked indifferent on the surface," said Zhi Hao, his voice full of sincerity.Zhi Sao smiled faintly. "This thin
Aware of the danger, Elder Hang tried to twist his body. However, the distance was too close. Time seemed to slow down, and he knew that completely dodging was nearly impossible."Elder Hang!" Rong An shouted from behind the carriage, his face pale with worry. "Behind you! Don't let your guard down!" his anxious voice was heard, but distance and time were not on his side. Even if the warning reached his ears, Elder Hang's body would not react quickly enough.The Fiery Tiger Claw moved like the shadow of death. However, before the claws could hit—Slash!Slash!Two sword flashes suddenly shot out from another direction, striking the Flame Tiger's body. The slash was so sharp that it split the beast's body into two halves, and a death roar filled the air.Elder Hang was stunned, standing still for a moment. his breath hitched, almost unable to believe he survived the deadly attack. His eyes immediately searched for who had saved him.From the shadow of the trees, a young man stepped out
"Sir, you were summoned by Mayor Cao." The guard conveyed without interrupting further. "What did the Mayor call me for?" Zhi Hao muttered. "I'll be there in a moment." Zhi Hao said in response.After receiving the call from the guard, Zhi Hao rushed towards Mayor Cao's residence. Under the darkening sky, lantern light illuminated the path to one of the largest buildings in Linggau City. The Mayor's house stands majestically, surrounded by a beautiful garden and guards on guard at every corner.Arriving at the main hall, a servant guided Zhi Hao towards the meeting room. Mayor Cao, a middle-aged man in dark official robes, sat at the head of the long table. His face was serious, but full of authority."Zhi Hao," called the Mayor in a heavy tone. "Please sit."Zhi Hao nodded politely, taking his place in the provided seat. "How can I help you, Mayor?" he asked directly, cutting through formalities.Mayor Cao took a deep breath before starting to speak. "It's about the Quota for the O
Another flash of lightning appeared, this time stronger, forming a trail of light in the air. In an instant, Zhi Hao's sword met Ma Ling's sword. However, instead of being stopped, Zhi Hao's power penetrated his opponent's defense.Clang!A loud crash was heard, followed by a muffled scream from Ma Ling. His body was pushed back several meters, and fresh blood gushed from the wound on his chest.Zhi Hao remained calm, without even breaking a sweat. "You think you can defeat me just because you're at the Two-star Earth Realm?" He stepped forward slowly. "Too bad, you don't know who you're dealing with."Ma Ling's eyes widened. "What?!" he muttered, surprised. He felt something wrong. Zhi Hao's aura was not only stronger, but also much more stable.Zhi Hao smiled faintly. "I've gone beyond that limit. You're no match for me."Instantly, the atmosphere turned even more tense. Ma Ling knew he had underestimated his opponent, but now it was too late to back down.Zhi Hao swung his sword wi
The attack was right on target. The Python let out a shrill hiss, its body writhing wildly as dense green blood spurted from a deep wound on its jaw.Zhi Sang didn't waste that moment. He attacked again, this time aiming for the snake's neck which was starting to weaken.Slash!Kach!with combined attacks, they finally brought down the beast."Good job," said Zhi Hao as he approached, his voice still cold but full of confidence. "You two are starting to understand the importance of coordination. But remember, always think about your next step before acting."Zhi Sang breathed a sigh of relief while smiling proudly. "Thank you for the guidance, Brother Hao."Zhi Chan added, "Without your guidance, we might have been overwhelmed. I will be braver in the next fight."Zhi Hao nodded slightly. "Good. This Secret Realm is full of much greater dangers. Never let your guard down. We're moving."Zhi Hao raised his hand suddenly, signaling the group to stop. His gaze was sharp, staring at the b
Trap in the Dark ValleyDark Valley, as the name suggests, is filled with dense fog and shadows that shift between the rocks. The sound of the wind blowing like a whisper of death adds to the tense atmosphere. Wang Han and Wang Hui stood at the edge of the valley, observing from a distance.“That's there, the entrance,” whispered Wang Hui while pointing at a large rock crevice that was almost hidden behind the bushes. The faint light of ancient symbols shone faintly on the door.Wang Han nodded. "We won't go in. These Goblins are known to be aggressive and smart. we just need to bring Zhi Hao here. They'll take care of the rest.""Brother Han," Wang Hui smiled slightly. "Are you sure he won't suspect us?"Wang Han grinned. "He's arrogant, too confident in his strength once we give him a reason to target the Lightning Relic, he'll forget all about it. Besides, we will play the victim. There is nothing more convincing than a desperate person."They left the location, ensuring that every
Zhi Hao led the attack with incredible speed, his sword flashing with deadly lightning ripples. "Lightning Sword Technique - Thunder Rain!" he shouted, swinging his sword at three Goblins at once. Lightning struck their bodies, leaving them thrown, burned, and unable to move anymore.However, the fighting spirit didn't just burn Zhi Hao. Zhi Chan, stimulated by his brother's action, spun his spear nimbly. "Wind Spear Technique – Storm Spin!" he shouted. A strong wind was created from the spin of his spear, hitting the two approaching Goblins, sending them crashing into the rocks.Zhi Sang on the other hand moved decisively. "Stone Sword Technique – Layered Waves!" He struck the ground with his sword, creating a wave of energy that traveled towards the Goblins, hitting several at once. The sound of thunder and the clink of weapons echoed each other, adding to the tension of the battle."Don't fall behind, Zhi Lan!" shouted Zhi Sang while slashing a Goblin who was trying to attack him f
