Elder Han froze, disbelief flashing across his face.He couldn’t accept it—couldn’t believe that Jun Jiu would actually dare lay a hand on an Elder in front of everyone.This wasn’t just arrogance. This was suicide. Killing an Elder meant punishment. Death punishment.“You wouldn’t dare kill me,” Elder Han sneered.A soft, almost gentle smile curved on Alex’s lips.“You’re absolutely right,” he said calmly. “I won’t kill you… not today.”“But there are many ways to destroy a man without taking his life.”Alex lifted his hand and snapped his fingers.A thin, shimmering ice needle formed instantly between them—so fine it almost looked invisible under the light.Before anyone could react—He flicked his wrist.The needle shot forward.It struck Elder Han’s body with deadly precision, piercing through multiple acupuncture points in a blink.Elder Han’s body jerked.Then went rigid.Alex didn’t even look back.“I won’t be helping this Elder,” he said lightly as he turned away. “If anyone w

One of the elders from Thousand Herbs Peak narrowed his eyes at Alex, a deep frown creasing his face.“Who is contestant number 777?” he asked sharply.The staff member beside him hurriedly checked the records, hands slightly trembling. “He’s registered under the name Jun Jiu.”The elder’s expression darkened instantly, his gaze turning cold and hostile.“So… you’re the one called Jun Jiu.”A flicker of memory surged through his mind—three months ago. His nephew, Han Fei, dead. Killed because of this man.The one who carried out the execution had been a Peak Leader. Someone far above him.He hadn’t been able to act then.So he waited.Waited for the right moment.Waited to strike back.His eyes shifted, glancing toward the central viewing platform where the Peak Leader sat, calmly watching the fights unfold.“Your time is running out,” the elder muttered under his breath, a thin, dangerous smile forming.Not just the Peak Leader.The Wudang Sect Master as well.He had already made con

The past two days had been exhausting.From the outside, having a hundred followers looked like power. Influence. Control.The truth?It was a constant, relentless headache.Alex barely had a moment to breathe. Every hour was spent organizing—assigning roles, dividing responsibilities, deciding who did what, who answered to whom. Without structure, everything would collapse into chaos.Only by forcing order into the madness could they actually function… and maybe, just maybe, turn it into something profitable.Alex sat atop a large boulder, the wind brushing lightly against his robes. Below him, over a hundred disciples stood in silence, their eyes fixed on him.“Remember this,” Alex said carrying easily across the crowd. “Before I left, I prepared three manuals.”He raised a hand, counting them off.“One—for managing the herb garden.”“Two—for cultivation.”“Three—for basic martial arts.”A faint pause.“If you study them properly… you’ll see results within a year.”The crowd stirred

Alex stepped back into his hut after leaving the library, closing the door behind him with a quiet thud. The silence wrapped around him, but his mind refused to rest.Three months.That was all the time he had.And it wasn’t enough.There were still too many techniques, too many fragments of martial knowledge buried in the library that he hadn’t even touched yet. If he tried to learn everything the normal way, he would fall behind—far behind.His gaze hardened.There was only one way.“The fastest path… is through sleep. Through meditation.”When the mind slips into a dreamlike state, time bends.Three months in the real world… could become thirty months inside the dream.A faint breath escaped his lips as the thought settled in.“I have to survive.”“I’m not dying here.”Not in a place where countless others were stronger than him. Not when he hadn’t even begun to climb.“I won’t be distracted. And no one… will be allowed to distract me.”With that, Alex reached into his storage and

Alex’s gaze locked onto Han Fei, both of his arms were gone.Blood soaked his robes, but it wasn’t pouring anymore. One of his companions had already struck several pressure points along his shoulders, sealing the flow.Another disciple knelt nearby, carefully holding the severed arms, channeling inner energy into them, preserving what life remained in the flesh.They all knew—if treated fast enough, the arms could still be reattached.Silence hung heavy in the air.Then Alex moved.“You,” he said, pointing at a nearby disciple. “Give me your disciple medallion.”The disciple froze, fear flashing across his face. “I—I don’t have enough merit points,” he stammered. “Please… don’t take mine…”Alex let out a cold, humorless laugh. “Who said anything about taking it from you?”The tension broke—but only slightly.“I heard it costs one thousand merit points to reattach a single arm,” Alex continued, his tone flat, almost indifferent.“I’ll pay two thousand to have both his arms treated,” A

Outside the second-floor library, the old man stood frozen.For decades, those problems had hung on the wall—untouched, unanswered, almost forgotten. Yet now, one after another, they were being solved.By a single young man.Jun Jiu.The old man’s eyes trembled as they scanned the answers on the paper. Each line was clear. Precise. Flawless.His hands began to shake.His breathing turned uneven.Impossible…Yet the truth was right in front of him.This… this is impossible.A surge of excitement hit him so hard he nearly stepped forward.I have to take him as my disciple.The words burned in his throat. He wanted to shout them. To grab Alex by the shoulder and drag him away if he had to.“He is incredible! He must become my disciple!”But he didn’t move.A promise held him back.The sect leaders wanted this young man—so he had no choice but to step aside.The old man clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white.To hell with promises.“I want him,” he muttered under his breath.Witho
