"The first match is horse riding skills. Each contestant will spur their horse, run fast, and at the bend in the road, they must shoot 10 targets—people moving like deer in the forest," announces an elder from the Xuantong tribe.

Guo Jiang receives the third performance number, after Tobugkha and then Bora. All the spectators cheer for Khuchar, the son of Chigu from the Bada Tribe.

Tobugkha rides his horse with a low profile, not looking arrogant at all. Although he doesn't smile, he nods to the crowd, a sign of greeting after they recognize him. The people of Lantas increasingly praise Khuchar's humble and low-profile demeanor.

"Now!" The booming voice of the Xuantong tribal elder, who serves as the observing judge, signals that Khuchar has been able to spur his horse to shoot the target around the corner.

Wush! Khuchar's horse darts like a deer, faster than anyone had ever imagined.

"I bet this Bada tribesman will win the Southwest genius match," says an audience member.

"Maybe your

    "Temur, the young hero of the Xuantong tribe, managed to knock down 10 targets of those moving people!""What? How is that possible? There has never been anyone among the Xuantong tribe who possesses archery skills coupled with such great strength. I can't believe it!"Not content with that, many people took to the streets of the arena and ran around the corner to see Temur's results.The situation became even more uproarious after everyone saw the result: 10 people collapsed on the ground with arrows stuck right between the eyebrows of the artificially drawn figures."The first winner of the horse riding and arrow shooting skills test was Temur from the Xuantong tribe, followed by Bora of the Gatsuu tribe and Khuchar of the Bada tribe," the elder's voice rang out loudly.The Xuantong supporters cheered Temur's name over and over again. Guo Jiang smiled warmly, looking at his Xuantong supporters with lively eyes, as if to say that he would give them something to cheer for in this race

    Many in the audience were speechless, unable to believe that Bora had performed so poorly."Her behavior is like that of a child who cannot accept defeat, blaming the object used, claiming that the bow is not a first-class bow but a manufacturing defect," jeers could be heard from both the Xuantong and Bada audiences.It was Guo Jiang's turn to showcase his expertise in archery skills. The crowd, which had been cheering for Bora, now turned around and praised Guo Jiang."This young man is a humble person; he doesn't talk much. But look at the results of his riding skills accompanied by archery techniques—he's perfect. If he can knock down 10 people on horseback, then for the archery skills, although the shooting distance is too far for someone as young as him, I'm sure he will do better than Bora," was the discussion among the audience.Guo Jiang remained fully concentrated, not letting himself get lost in the audience's conversations that sometimes sounded dismissive of him, just bec

    Guo Jiang looked up, lifting his head from his gaze at Teardrop Qilin. Just then, he faintly heard the sound of feet rubbing softly on the grass, right beside the camp.After practicing Snow Lotus Energy cultivation, Guo Jiang felt that his senses were becoming sharper. His hearing and eyesight were now more sensitive. So much so that even the slow movement of feet on the grass could be clearly heard.With a flick of a finger, the light of the lantern inside the camp was extinguished instantly. He then held his breath, moving slowly toward the door, leaving only a shadow. At that moment, two shadowy figures suddenly rushed through the torn wall of the camp.Wush—wush.The two swords in the intruders' hands slashed right toward where he had been sitting before.Duar!Empty? The two figures were astonished."He's not there!""It seems that the boy has learned of our arrival. I believe he escaped not far from this camp. Let's go after him!" A teenage female voice hissed in panic.The two

    "It's good that you've realized what we want.Then you foolishly waited here and prepared for death," Murong Huan's voice sounded cruel.She immediately drew the sword slung across her back, gleaming sharply in the moonlight. Murong Huan was the daughter of a renowned patriarch; clearly, her sword was not a simple one.Bora, who was keeping a vigilant watch for fear of being discovered, did not dare to say much. Silently, he followed suit and drew his sword, which glittered and shone in the starlight.With a mocking voice, Guo Jiang pulled out the short sword that Shaman Sharantuya had gifted him. Now he pointed it straight at the two figures in black and said coldly, "If you came to this place and saw me in a fighting position, why didn't you two gang up on me right away?" His voice was now contemptuous.Murong Huan was instantly overcome with emotion. Her blood rose and peaked at the crown of her head.Moments before..."Good, if that's what you want, let the two of us finish your l

    The morning sun shines brightly, and fresh air fills the lungs of all living things; everyone loves the morning. At that time, a young boy of 13 years was seen running fast through the grassland down the valley, over the winding cliffs.His body is tall, appearing taller than most children his age, and his face looks more mature, causing the eyes to pause for a moment to take a good look at that charming face.He is Guo Jiang, who has just left the Xuantong tribe settlement to meet the spirit of a swordsman from 1,000 years ago. The gray-robed refiner is the figure of the swordsman he will meet in the high cliff valley, as they had promised a year ago.Long after he passed through the winding road, jumping over the complicated sheer cliffs at the edge of the grassland, Guo Jiang finally arrived at a valley with high cliffs on both the left and right sides. It was where the refiner's spirit awaited his arrival."Ah, young man. You came in the end. The rest of this soul is getting tired

    "You can only practice from the scratches on this number one cliff. The first level of this Nameless Sword can only be trained by a Cultivator ranked as low as level 5 in the Mortal Realm," said the refiner."On the next cliff, that's cliff number 2 to number 10, can only be trained by Earth-ranked to Sky-ranked practitioners. If you try to force yourself to read the scribbles of a level two sword and so on, you will inevitably be deeply wounded because you cannot withstand the strange wild energy, which can only be controlled by practitioners at a higher rank," the gray-robed refiner said.Guo Jiang noted carefully that the next level training of the Nameless Sword was as follows:Level 2 Nameless Sword Technique can only be trained by level 1 Earth rank Cultivators.Level 3 Nameless Sword Technique can only be trained by Earth rank Practitioners.Level 4 Nameless Sword Technique can only be trained by level 4 Earth Rank Experts.Level 5 Nameless Sword Technique can only be trained b

    "Now let's see how much you can control the energy of Enchantment. Enchantment, or magic, is an innate ability of the Immortals in the world of Wonderland.”“However, this ability of magic energy or enchantment is sometimes possessed by creatures of the Mortal World—namely, those who are given the Talent by the Gods to cultivate that unique energy," said the gray-robed refiner, instructing Guo Jiang to cast a spell.Guo Jiang then demonstrated some of his magical tricks and abilities during the healing process known as Healing. He cut his hand with a short sword, blood flowing from the gaping wound.Guo Jiang then chanted ancient words, a healing incantation. Slowly, with the refiner's naked eyes, he saw the scratched hand wound fuse perfectly."Pretty good... Your talent in the field of healing magic, or what is called healing, is fairly good. Now let's try something bigger—something that uses enchantment to summon the elements of the world. You will summon the wind by using magic en

    'But this reality is ridiculous. All the people I used to think of as extraordinary, the shaman Sharantuya, for example—all of them are just meaningless jokes in front of this gallant man in gray robes,' Guo Jiang thought.He had expected to train in the cliff valley near the fir forest for just one year, but instead, he spent more than two years. However, it was certainly not all for naught. Guo Jiang's current cultivation level was at the peak of the Mortal expert (Mortal) tradition, just half a step away from becoming an Earth rank realm practitioner.Even he, who was just a low-class wizard, only worthy of being called a shaman, had now transformed into a Spirit Master called the Spirit of Mortal. It should be noted that currently, on the Silver Screen Continent, there are only a handful of people who deserve to be called Masters of Spirit.The shortage of the inheritance of the science of enchantment and magic, as well as the disappearance of qualified experts who mastered those

    In a room provided for the law bureau and the family protectors of the empire, Guo Jiang was seen standing while Mr. Zhao Long sat at his desk.There were not too many decorations and ornaments that made the large room look impressive, but there were many portraits of figures who seemed to be the best representatives of the law bureau throughout history.Guo Jiang observed the ancient painting depicting a swordsman performing sword techniques on a high cliff filled with willow and peach trees.The face of the man in the painting looked majestic, as if the world was bowing to him. As he looked closer, Guo Jiang found a slight resemblance to the face of the great man in the painting. His face seemed similar to that of his mentor, the Gray Refiner."You seem to be interested in that painting, young man," said Zhao Long."Do you know who that young man is, or at least have you heard the story about him?" asked Mr. Zhao Long.Guo Jiang had promised his mentor, the Gray Robe Refiner, long a

    Padre Mu is a religious expert from the White Lotus Temple who serves as a spiritual tutor in the imperial palace. His cultivation level is at Earth Realm Level 3.A thin smile was etched on the face of Mr. Zhao Long, the Head of the Imperial Law Bureau of the Golden Pegasus. There has long been rivalry between the Law Bureau and the White Lotus Sect.Only the Law Bureau acts as the Emperor's right hand. However, over time, the White Lotus Sect, which established the worship temple, won the hearts of the imperial palace, and the White Lotus Cult was believed in by the Emperor and the palace relatives.The White Lotus Sect gradually took over many important powers in the empire, and the Head of the Law Bureau often clashed or disagreed with the side of the White Lotus Temple.Now, it was not surprising to reveal that a priest, or what was called a kind-hearted priest in that temple, was actually the flower-picking demon who was the enemy of the entire nation. It was clear that Mr. Zhao

    "That's right, Mr. Zhao Long. My name is Guo Jiang. You know that I'm the young Cultivator Rogue who took on the mission of capturing dead or alive The Flower-Picking Villain. And as per the mission given to all cultivator detectives, today I bring that flower-picker criminal for you to verify. Afterward, I expect the compensation that the law firm promised," Guo Jiang said.Mr. Zhao Long looked deeply at Guo Jiang, and in three blinks of an eye, he said, "Good job, young man. I would appreciate it even more if you could show me proof that this Padre of Goodness is The Flower-Picking Villain. To accuse a Padre like this is very dangerous if it is not accompanied by strong evidence."Guo Jiang, without saying much, then waved his hand, and a fierce wind blew, making the other three coffins burst open.The situation became even more chaotic after seeing the three lifeless figures. What was even more frightening was that two of them were the favorite disciples of the two major sects in t

    Along with the chanting of the sword incantation, Guo Jiang's figure vanished into shadow; he glided quickly with his sword drawn, stabbing at the flower-picking demon."Wh-what is this..." horror sounded in the voice of the flower-picking demon.The demon could do nothing when the Nameless Sword was executed by Guo Jiang. His lips were numb; his body felt like it had been electrocuted, frozen in place, waiting for death.Without any sound at all, the young man's figure pierced through the horrified body of the Flower Picker demon, who was still silent due to the stun and stiffening effect. After Guo Jiang penetrated his body, the flower-picking demon's life was over in that instant.The mortal body fell, making a thudding sound with a puff of dust.He had died, yet there was one small shiny light, similar to the light of a flickering firefly - it flew quickly into space, leaving behind an echoing sound that resonated in Guo Jiang's mind."Even if you manage to kill me, my group will

    Once again, there was a sound of explosion, and due to the collision of two forces, Guo Jiang was pushed back several spears away. Fortunately, the young man was helped by the wind chakra, so he didn't hit the ground.The night wind was blowing harder and harder. Guo Jiang looked a mess. His hair was loose, as the iron clasp that formed his forelock came loose. Under the shadow of the moon, he looked mysterious, with his hair flopping around, blown by the night wind.He stood in a stance, holding on so as not to collapse, holding on so as not to spit out a mouthful of blood.Guo Jiang felt his chest tighten; a blood-like fishy air filled his mouth. No matter what, the Flower-Picking Demon was an expert at Level 3 Earth Ranking, which was no match for him.On the other hand, the flower-picking demon looked shocked beyond belief."Bingdao, is this boy someone from Bingdao?" The Flower Picker's ghostly voice was famously soft; he tried to recognize the opponent. After the collision of hi

    At that time, the wind propelled by Guo Jiang's Wind Chakra blew quickly, lifting him high into the sky, as high as 60 feet. From that height, he prepared the Snow Lotus Semi-Pure Sword attack.Then, quickly, Guo Jiang's body was again controlled by the wind and slammed swiftly to the ground, also using the wind chakra to lock onto the flower-picking demon.With his head down and feet up, his hand stabbed out in a swift motion, and an Ice Lotus Flower formed at the tip of the sword.Suiittt...The sound of the sword whistling and the ice lotus flower made a sound like cracking ice, which was heart-wrenching.'W-what's going on...' the flower-picking demon felt uneasy.Feeling as if he was threatened by the aura of the sword attack, the Flower-Picking Demon looked up. His face instantly turned horrified as he stared at the sword with the huge Snow Lotus Flower, seemingly falling freely and ready to slash his head.Klotok - klotok - klotok! The sound of the snow lotus was oppressive."N

    "Look at the palm strike!" snapped the Flower-Picking Demon.His elongated hands filled with Qi energy; he exerted his strength by 70%. The flower-picking demon wanted to take Wei Yaozu's life in one fell swoop. The long hand stabbed hard towards Wei Yaozu's chest, which was more than 5 spears away.A squeaking sound like the cry of a fierce sword followed the thrust of the palm that used the Flying Fox Tread technique.The last way, Wei Yaozu did not dare to look down. He also focused his spirit and channeled all the poison cultivation-based energy now full in his two hands wearing black centipede gloves.Black smoke rolled up so dark, like the blackness of the night, as it dashed against the tread of the flying fox with the intention of poisoning it."Sneaky!" the Flower-Picking Demon snapped when he felt the deadly poisonous energy intending to wrap around his two palms.The Flower-Picking Demon did not lose his mind. Two soft hands like fox mane fur were pulled out quickly, and hi

    'Even the slightest rival in the future, it is better to be killed first before tomorrow transforms into a horrible creature that is difficult to tame,' the Flower-Picking Demon thought spitefully. He intended to kill the girl after enjoying her warm body.Duan Meirong was extremely surprised. The fierce attack of the Flying Fox Palm that the flower-picking demon used sounded roaring, similar to the sound of a hurricane. Not to mention the pure air felt; it was extremely oppressive and made the girl's chest feel tight."You are an earth rank practitioner. There are not many experts this strong in the land of Golden Pegasus. Tell me who you really are!" Duan Meirong berated the flower-picking demon, while her hands were busy scraping the sword, making stabs in response to the terrifying Flying Fox Palm attack.He said his feet on the grass, his body floating quickly in a light skill technique, seeming to fly like a shadow welcoming the coming palm strike, intending to make an impact.D

  • Long Night in the Whispering Forest - Part I.

    The Eastern Whispering Forest is a forest of willow trees located to the east of Golden Pegasus's Capital. Besides being haunted, it is said that the Eastern Whispering Forest is filled with wild and ferocious creatures.Even mercenaries and hunters dare not enter this haunted forest. Some say that there are quite a few Dark Beast-like creatures roaming there.That afternoon, the sky was violet in color, and the sun was leaning towards the west. Soon, night would fall. At that moment, a shadowy figure of a woman flashed quickly like a swallow.Fearlessly, even though the sky was getting darker and it would probably rain soon, the girl's shadow broke through and entered the depths of the Whispering Forest.Things calmed down after the girl's shadow disappeared into the shadows of the willow tree.But again, the tranquility of the forest was disturbed when another shadow followed, no less than one incense stick burning.
