2024-11-26 17:28:35Chen Wu returned to his small cottage located on the outskirts of the Tianlong Clan compound, a place that was more worthy of being called a warehouse than a home. The wooden walls were fragile, and the roof always leaked when it rained. In this place he lived 15 years of his life, a life full of humiliation and suffering.
However, that night felt different. Chen Wu stared at his reflection in the puddle outside the hut. It was no longer the face of a weak child that he saw, but rather someone whose eyes radiated something new—strength, anger, and determination. “All this… what exactly happened to me?” he muttered. He opened his palms, and immediately felt the dark energy rekindle in his blood. The energy felt cold, but at the same time, electrifying. It was as if there was a great power hidden within him, waiting to be released. but before Chen Wu could ponder any further, a loud knock sounded on his cottage door. “Chen Wu! Open the door!” The voice belonged to Elder Lei, one of the low-level elders in charge of supervising disciples like him. Chen Wu opened the door slowly. Behind him, Elder Lei stood with several older disciples, their faces full of suspicion. “You are summoned to the main hall,” Elder Lei said matter-of-factly. "Now." Chen Wu looked at them expressionlessly, but deep inside, he knew this was related to last night's events. He wasn't afraid. If they wanted to punish him, he was ready for anything. The main hall of the Tianlong Clan was a place that Chen Wu rarely visited. The room was majestic, with golden pillars and dragon carvings symbolizing the clan's power. in the center of the hall, the elders sat on high chairs, while the disciples gathered at the sides, whispering about what was going to happen. Chen Wu walked in with calm steps. His face remained cold even though dozens of pairs of eyes stared at him intently. “Chen Wu,” the voice of Elder Yuan, the clan leader, echoed in the room. The old man had a face full of wrinkles, but his eyes were sharp like a hawk. “We heard reports that you had attacked Lu Feng and several other disciples last night. Is that true?" Chen Wu looked at Elder Yuan without flinching. "They attacked me first," he answered simply. “And you beat them almost to death,” Elder Yuan continued, his voice heavy. “How did you, someone who has never been able to sense energy, suddenly have such power?” The question silenced the entire hall. All eyes were on Chen Wu, waiting for his answer. Chen Wu sighed. He knew he couldn't give them a satisfactory answer. How could he explain something he didn't even understand? “I was just defending myself,” he said finally. “That power… I don't know where it comes from.” Elder Yuan narrowed his eyes, as if trying to read Chen Wu's thoughts. After a moment, he spoke again, this time in a lower tone, almost as a warning. “You are different, Chen Wu,” he said. “There is something in you that no one else in this clan has. Something that could be a blessing… or a curse.” Chen Wu didn't answer. He just stood still, waiting for what would be said next. “From today on,” Elder Yuan continued, “you will be closely monitored. No more leeway for you. One mistake, and you will be expelled from this clan. Do you understand?” Chen Wu nodded. "I understand." Elder Yuan nodded slightly, then motioned for Chen Wu to leave. but just as Chen Wu turned to leave the hall, Elder Yuan's voice stopped him. “Chen Wu,” he said, “do you know anything about your mother's origins?” Chen Wu turned around slowly. That question made his heart beat faster. “I don't know anything,” he answered. “All I know is that she was in prison for giving birth to me.” Elder Yuan nodded, his face thoughtful. “Maybe it's time for the truth to come out. But remember, the truth is often heavier than you imagine.” Chen Wu left the hall with his thoughts racing. Elder Yuan's words echoed in his mind. The truth about mothers? What is this clan really hiding? That night, Chen Wu had another strange dream. He stood in the middle of a dark field, surrounded by huge shadows. in front of him, a black throne towered, engraved with symbols he did not understand. From the darkness, a tall figure appeared, wearing a black robe that fluttered like mist. His face could not be seen, but his aura was terrifying. “Chen Wu,” the figure's voice echoed, deep and shaking. “Your blood is mine. You are the heir to this throne. This world will bow to you, or crumble beneath your feet.” Chen Wu took a step back, but he felt unable to look away. The dark energy rose again within him, stronger than before. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice shaking. The figure raised his hand, pointing at Chen Wu. “You will find out when the time comes. But know this—your path will be filled with blood. those who hate you will be the first to fall.” Chen Wu woke up breathless. His body was drenched in cold sweat, but in his heart, he felt something new: a call to find the truth, no matter how dark the path he had to take. The peaceful days of the Tianlong Clan were over. And Chen Wu, a child who was considered trash, will be the figure who changes the fate of all of them.

That morning, Chen Wu stood at the edge of the valley that separated the clan territory from the dungeon where his mother was locked up. The valley was called the Valley of Darkness, a place that even the elders rarely went to. Thick mist covers every corner, and legend says that the valley is inhabited by bloodthirsty creatures. However, Chen Wu didn't care. He clutched tightly to the only thing he had from his mother—a small circle-shaped necklace with a black stone in the middle. “If I want to know the truth,” Chen Wu muttered to himself, “I have to go there.” But before he could take the first step, a voice from behind stopped him. "Chen Wu!" He turned around and found a girl standing in the distance. The girl's face glistened in the morning light, with long flowing black hair. She was Mei Lin, one of the few disciples in the Tianlong Clan who had never insulted Chen Wu. "Where are you going?" She asked, his voice full of concern. Chen Wu did not answer immediately. He knew

Chen Wu and Mei Lin walked out of the cave with heavy steps. The air in the valley felt colder, as if the world had changed after their encounter with the black-scaled creature. But for Chen Wu, things were different now. The energy he felt in his body now felt much stronger, like a fast river flowing through his veins. “You… are different,” Mei Lin whispered, looking at Chen Wu with confused and amazed eyes. “Your eyes, your aura… everything changes.” Chen Wu just stared at his own hands, where remnants of dark energy were still swirling, barely visible. “I don't know how to explain this, Mei Lin,” he said quietly. “But something has awakened inside me. And I think this is just the beginning of something big.” Mei Lin was about to answer, but a roar from the direction of the cave stopped them. They turned around and saw that the cave door was starting to close by itself. Massive rocks collapsed, sealing the place back in eternal darkness. “We can't go back,” Mei Lin said, her voi
The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 06: Blood test
The next day, Chen Wu woke up earlier than usual. The sun had just penetrated the eastern sky, giving the valley below the Tianlong Clan a golden color. He stood in the training yard, staring silently at the stone circle that students used to practice martial arts and energy control. “Chen Wu,” Elder Yuan's voice broke the silence. Chen Wu turned his head. Elder Yuan stood behind him, accompanied by Mei Lin. The old man's face was serious, but there was a flash of determination in his eyes. “Your training will begin now,” said Elder Yuan. “But this is no ordinary training. You will have a blood test." "Blood test?" Chen Wu repeated, his brows furrowed. Elder Yuan nodded. “To control the power within you, you must understand the blood that flows in your veins. But understanding it is not an easy thing. This test will take you to your physical, mental and spiritual limits. Many fail, even die.” Mei Lin was shocked. “Elder Yuan, isn't that too dangerous? he just found out about his
The Blood Of The Lord Chapter 07: Zhao Long's plan
While Chen Wu was training under Elder Yuan's tutelage, outside the Tianlong Clan, a dark plan was being prepared by someone he never expected. Zhao Long, the leader of a rival clan who has long harbored a grudge against the Tianlong Clan, sits in his private chamber decorated with ancient symbols of his clan. In front of a long table covered in maps and scrolls, a guard stood alert. "So, he passed the blood test?" Zhao Long asked in a low but threatening voice. The bodyguard nodded. "Yes, Mr. Zhao. Chen Wu successfully passed the test and now seems to have mastered the power within him. Very great power." Zhao Long turned his chair around, his sharp eyes staring at the map of the Tianlong Clan territory spread out on the table. "Great power?" He laughed softly, his tone calculating. "Such power is very dangerous, but also very easy to use for our purposes." The bodyguard looked confused. "What do you mean sir?" Zhao Long pointed his finger at the center point of the map, where

The days after Chen Wu's blood test passed with increasing tension. The once powerful and respected Tianlong Clan began to falter. Divisions were starting to become apparent within the clan, and they were all rooted in one thing: Chen Wu. Starting from whispers spread among students and clan leaders, news about his mother, who was said to have royal blood and ties to the royal family, began to attract the attention of many parties. However, the news circulating is much darker and points to a much deeper hidden conspiracy. .Some claim that his mother was a deserter who betrayed the clan, while others think that Chen Wu's blood may have a power that should not be in the hands of ordinary people. Within the clan's main hall, an awkward and tense atmosphere was palpable. several elders had gathered to discuss the fate of the Tianlong Clan under the approaching threat. Some were worried that Chen Wu's new power would threaten their standing, while others felt that the clan's future shoul

A dark night enveloped the Tianlong Clan. The tension that had been pent up for so long finally exploded. Outside, the sound of footsteps began to be heard, and the shadows of the enemy troops began to cover the area around the Tianlong Clan headquarters. Their clan was now on the verge of destruction. Chen Wu stood on top of the watchtower, looking out over the vast land, feeling the vibrations of the battle that was just around the corner. His heart was in turmoil. This fight is not just to defend his clan, but to protect himself and his mother—as well as to prove that he is more than just the son of a caged woman. "Are we ready?" Mei Lin's worried voice sounded behind him, breaking the silence. Chen Wu turned his head, his eyes full of determination. "We have no choice left," he answered, his voice loud and firm. "This clan will be destroyed if we don't act now." In the great hall, the clan leaders had gathered, preparing for the great battle that was just around the corner. El

Swoosh! Clang! Bomb! The sound of explosions and weapons clinking filled the night. The Tianlong Clan was on the verge of collapse. Flames blazed everywhere, illuminating the scattered ruins. The dark sky was filled with smoke and dust, adding to the tense atmosphere in the middle of the battle. Chen Wu fell on the ground, his body covered in wounds. His hands and feet were shaking from exhaustion. Every breath felt heavy, as if his lungs could no longer hold any more air. In front of him, enemies continued to arrive, their weapons glinting under the flames. He wanted to get up, wanted to fight, but his body was too weak. The energy he had been trying to generate still didn't respond. Even in this chaos, old scornful voices from the past echoed in his head, reminding him that he was useless trash. "Chen Wu!" a gentle but firm voice woke him from his trance. Mei Lin, the girl who had always been by his side, ran towards him. His brown eyes were shining, filled with worry. I

The surviving enemies retreated slowly, their faces ashen. They could feel something terrifying radiating from Chen Wu. That energy was no ordinary energy—it carried a bone-chilling coldness and an inexplicable sense of dread. "Who... who is he now?" whispered one of the trembling enemy soldiers, his hand weakly gripping his sword. a leader of an enemy army tries to show courage. He stepped forward, raised his greatsword, and shouted, “He is just a child who lost control! Destroy him now!” Chen Wu slowly raised his head, looking at the man with shining red eyes. without another word, he stepped forward.

Ahead of them, a rocky path led to an open plain, and in the distance, a thick forest marked the edge of the Black Mist Mountains."We made it," Li Feng said, his voice filled with relief.Chen Wu nodded. "Yes, we’re finally out."Li Feng looked at Chen Wu, his eyes showing deep respect. "I’ve learned so much from you, Chen Wu. You’re not just strong, but also wise. Thank you for helping me."Chen Wu gave a faint smile. "You’ve shown remarkable courage, Li Feng.

You seem… different now.”Chen Wu turned to him with a faint smile. “I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like something within me has changed. Maybe the energy from that orb has strengthened me.”Li Feng nodded, though his confusion lingered. “I don’t know what you experienced, but one thing’s clear—you’re much stronger than me.

The scroll had become a new guide, leading them toward something far greater than the blue crystal or the altar guardian.“Chen Wu,” Li Feng finally broke the heavy silence that surrounded them. “What do you think the Mist Treasure Chamber really is?”Chen Wu furrowed his brows, his eyes fixed on the path ahead. “I don’t know for sure. But if it’s guarded so fiercely, there must be something extraordinary inside.”Li Feng nodded slowly, though a lingering doubt gnawed at his heart. “But… if we find it, do you think we’ll make it out of here alive?”Chen Wu turned to him with a faint yet resolute smile. “We’ve come this far.

Li Feng asked, panic lacing his voice, his dagger already in hand.Chen Wu turned toward the source of the sound, his expression hardening.

Li Feng asked, his voice tinged with unease.Chen Wu glanced at him briefly while remaining alert. "Most likely. But don't worry too much. Just focus on your surroundings and be ready to fight at any moment."Li Feng nodded, though he wasn't entirely reassured. However, he knew that Chen Wu was the only reason he was still alive.After hours of walking, they arrived at an open area. In the center stood an ancient altar covered with intricate carvings.
