Chen Wu gripped his sword tightly, his sharp eyes fixed on the pack of wolves closing in. Behind him, Li Feng stood tense, clutching his small dagger with trembling hands.

"Li Feng, focus and don't panic," Chen Wu said calmly. "Their attacks may seem wild, but they follow a pattern. If you can read that pattern, you'll know when to strike."

Li Feng nodded, though his face was still pale with fear. "I'll try, Chen Wu."

Without warning, a smaller wolf lunged at them from the left. Chen Wu swiftly swung his sword, intercepting the attack with ease. At the same moment, two more wolves attacked from the front and rear.

Chen Wu spun gracefully, swinging his sword in a circular motion that unleashed a wave of dark energy. The two wolves yelped in pain as they were flung back.

"You need to stay vigilant, Li Feng," Chen Wu reminded. "They attack in coordination."

Li Feng took a deep breath, steeling himself. When another wolf tried to rush in from the right, he managed to stab it in the belly

    Chen Wu and Li Feng ventured deeper into the Black Mist Mountains after successfully obtaining the Earth Spirit Flower. The mist grew thicker, and the spiritual energy around them felt increasingly heavy. Li Feng tried to keep his steps steady, but fear still lingered in his heart."Chen Wu, do you think we'll be attacked again?" 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. A powerful aura emanated from the altar, as if it were protecting something precious."What is that?" Li Feng muttered, his eyes wide.Chen Wu carefully examined the altar. At its center hovered a dark blue crys

    Meanwhile, Li Feng struggled against the two remaining cultivators. Despite his fear, he fought back with his dagger, relying on evasive maneuvers. However, a powerful strike sent him crashing to the ground, coughing up blood and barely clinging to consciousness.“Li Feng!” Chen Wu called out, glancing toward him.The brief distraction gave his opponents an opening. One of the poisoned blades slashed his arm, forcing Chen Wu to retreat and create some distance. A sharp sting began spreading, but he gritted his teeth, staying focused.The woman in the purple robe smirked with satisfaction. “You’re finally struggling. If only you had surrendered earlier, none of this would have been necessary.”Chen Wu ignored her taunts, taking a deep breath as he summoned his spiritual energy. Activating a technique his master had taught him—the Absolute Shadow Blade Strike—his sword’s aura thickened, radiating an overwhelming pressure that froze his opponents momentarily.In one swift motion, he unle

    Chen Wu and Li Feng trudged away from the Mist Altar, with the blue crystal clutched tightly in Chen Wu's hand. Though exhausted, the determination in his eyes burned unwaveringly. Their steps faltered as a deep rumbling echoed through the mist behind them."Chen Wu, what's happening now?" Li Feng asked, panic lacing his voice, his dagger already in hand.Chen Wu turned toward the source of the sound, his expression hardening. "It seems we’re not done here yet."From the dense fog emerged a colossal figure. A massive stone statue with glowing blue eyes loomed before them. The statue depicted a muscular man wielding a giant spear etched with ancient runes. Its presence exuded an overwhelming aura that made the air around them heavier.“The Guardian of the Altar…” Li Feng murmured, his face paling. “They say these guardians only awaken when something is taken that shouldn’t be.”Chen Wu tightened his grip on the blue crystal. “So this is the crystal’s doing.”The statue began to move, i

    The mist thickened around them as Chen Wu and Li Feng ventured deeper, following the map inscribed on the ancient scroll they had just acquired. Every step grew heavier, as if the very air resisted their progress. Yet, beneath the exhaustion, a burning determination blazed within Chen Wu. 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. I won’t let anything stop us now.”They pressed on, passing through towering

    After leaving the Mist Treasure Chamber, Chen Wu and Li Feng made their way back into the forest, which now felt more foreboding. The dense mist that usually hung around them seemed to radiate an air of stillness, as if acknowledging that something monumental had occurred.Chen Wu, now feeling a new energy coursing through his body, walked calmly. Yet his mind lingered on the words spoken in the Mist Treasure Chamber: “True treasures are not merely found, but must also be protected.”Li Feng broke the silence, his voice tinged with awe. “Chen Wu, what exactly happened back there? 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. If not for your bravery, I’d already be dead here.”Chen Wu lightly patted Li Feng’

    Chen Wu and Li Feng continued their journey through the dense mist, which now seemed to conceal something sinister. Faint noises—perhaps the rustling of wind or distant footsteps—trailed them from afar. Yet Chen Wu remained calm, though his vigilance never wavered.“Do you feel like we’re being watched?” Li Feng whispered, his voice trembling.Chen Wu gave a small nod without turning. “Since we left the Mist Treasure Chamber, I’ve sensed something strange. Be ready for anything.”Li Feng tightened his grip on the small dagger in his hand.Suddenly, the mist ahead churned, as if alive and moving with its own will. Emerging from the fog was a tall figure radiating a suppressive aura. As the figure became clearer, Chen Wu saw that it was an elderly man with long, silver-white hair and sharp, hawk-like eyes.The man wore a black robe adorned with golden mist patterns. In his hand, he held a staff that shimmered with ancient symbols. His energy was so overwhelming that the air around him f

    After overcoming the final trial, the dense fog that had obscured Chen Wu and Li Feng's vision began to dissipate. The oppressive atmosphere of the Black Mist Mountains was gradually replaced by a view of clear skies and fresh air, offering a newfound sense of freedom.Chen Wu walked forward with steady steps, followed by Li Feng, who appeared calmer but visibly exhausted. 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’re no longer the person you were when we first met."They paused briefly at the edge of the Black Mist Mountains. Li Feng turned to Chen Wu with a serio

    Night had fallen when Chen Wu entered the Purple Star Pavilion, a grand building bathed in a soft purple glow that captivated every gaze. The auction hall was filled with cultivators from various regions—some exuding intimidating auras, others appearing as wealthy merchants eager to acquire rare treasures.Chen Wu chose a seat near the back of the hall, far enough not to draw attention but close enough to observe the items on display. On the stage, a dignified auctioneer stood ready to commence the event.After several items were auctioned, the atmosphere grew tense as the auctioneer announced:"Next, the Green Sky Herb! This plant possesses the ability to purify spiritual energy and accelerate the recovery of internal injuries. Extremely rare, it can only be found in remote mountains rich in spiritual energy. Starting bid: twenty thousand gold coins!"Chen Wu's eyes lit up. This herb was one of the things he sought—not only for its remarkable benefits but also because it aligned with

The air around them trembled subtly, as if something unseen was lurking in the darkness."The energy here is shifting…" Liu Yin whispered, his fingers gripping the ancient map tightly. "We're getting closer to the main chamber."Lan Mei ran her hand along the stone walls, which now felt warmer. "There's a power flowing through this place… like something is waiting for us."Chen Wu unsheathed his sword, his sharp eyes scanning the narrowing path ahead. "Whatever it is, we need to be ready."They continued forward until the corridor opened into a vast chamber. In its center stood an ancient altar, adorned with glowing inscriptions. Floating above it, a black tome hovered slowly, surrounded by swirling dark energy."The Shadow Heaven Codex…" Liu Yin murmured, his voice filled with both awe and trepidation.Before they could take anot

    The long, dark stone corridor welcomed them. A damp, ancient scent filled the air. The dim light from glowing crystals on the walls provided faint illumination, casting eerie shadows that danced along the passage.“We must stay alert,” Chen Wu whispered, his eyes sharply scanning every corner. “Yue Sha won’t let us walk through easily.”They moved cautiously, the echo of their footsteps reverberating down the hallway. Liu Yin tightly gripped the ancient scroll, trying to decipher the symbols carved into the walls. “These symbols... they look like protective spells. This place is guarded by ancient powers.”Lan Mei nodded, her fingertips brushing against one carving that radiated warmth. “The energy is pure... but something feels off.”BRUAAK!Suddenly, the wall behind them collapsed, sealing off their exit. Black mist swirled from the rubble, forming a tall figure with glowing red eyes.Yue Sha emerged from the shadows, her silver mask gleaming menacingly in the crystal light. “You’ve

    They began exploring the temple, following the clues from the ancient map. Every step was taken with caution, knowing that a single mistake could be fatal.In one of the chambers, they discovered an altar adorned with strange symbols. Atop the altar lay a small wooden box, encrusted with gemstones.“That must be the key,” Liu Yin whispered.But before they could take it, a rustling sound made them turn around. From the shadows, figures clad in black emerged—members of the Hai Clan.“We've been expecting you,” said their leader, a masked man with a hoarse voice.Chen Wu unsheathed his sword. “The Hai Clan. I should’ve known you wouldn’t let us go so easily.”A battle erupted. Chen Wu and Lan Mei fought the Hai Clan members with all their strength. Swords clashed, energy exploded around them, and the room trembled under the unleashed power.Meanwhile, Liu Yin attempted to grab the wooden box. But as soon as he touched it, a trap was triggered. The floor beneath him opened, revealing a p

    In the middle of a dense forest in the southern region, Chen Wu and Lan Mei stopped briefly to catch their breath. The sound of a small stream nearby was calming, but the atmosphere between them remained tense. The aftermath of the battle in Thousand Lights City still lingered, and they knew that their next move would determine their fate.Lan Mei sat on a large rock, cleaning the bloodstains from her sword. "We can't keep going like this, Chen Wu. Every time we move, they always find us. The Hai Clan won't stop until they capture you."Chen Wu stood at the riverbank, gazing at the flowing water with sharp eyes. "I know. But we have no other choice. The Heavenly Shadow Tome is the key to uncovering the truth I've been searching for. If the Hai Clan wants it, that means they know something we don't."Lan Mei sighed. "But is it worth the risk we're taking? The Hai Clan is not an opponent we can underestimate. Hai Yushuang clearly has a bigger plan, and she won’t stop until she gets what

    Inside a grand hall illuminated by dazzling crystal lights, a young woman sat on the main seat. She wore a red robe embroidered with gold, her long hair neatly tied, and her sharp eyes exuded dominance.In front of her, a man knelt with his head lowered. "Young Miss, we have confirmed that Chen Wu has left the Heavenly Light Sect and is currently in Thousand Lights City."The Young Miss of the Hai Clan—Hai Yushuang—smiled faintly, but behind that smile lay a dangerous intent. "So he finally left..."She held a teacup in her hand and took a slow sip. "And what about the people we sent?"The man swallowed before replying. "They... failed. Chen Wu killed them all."CRACK!The teacup in Hai Yushuang's hand cracked, spilling tea onto her fingers, but she didn't care. "As expected, he's not easy to deal with. But that doesn't matter."She stood and looked out the window. "He's always been a thorn in my side. This time, I won't let him escape."Her eyes gleamed coldly."Prepare our best peop

    Chen Wu and Lan Mei stood at the gates of the Heavenly Light Sect, gazing at the vast expanse of mountains stretching before them. The morning air was fresh, but in their hearts, there was an undeniable tension.Elder Xuan, along with several sect elders, accompanied them to the exit."The journey into the outer world will not be easy," Elder Xuan said with wisdom in his voice. "You must always be vigilant, especially against powerful organizations like the Sky Alliance, the Blood Demon Clan, and, of course, the Shadow Black Sect."Chen Wu nodded. "We understand, Elder."Lan Mei smiled faintly. "We will return one day, bringing glory to this sect."Elder Xuan chuckled. "I look forward to that day."After their final bow, Chen Wu and Lan Mei stepped out of the sect. With each step, they moved further away from the place they had called home.The Black Mist ForestSeveral days of smooth travel passed until they finally reached the Black Mist Forest—a place notorious for its natural pois

    Chen Wu continued staring at the empty hall entrance after the departure of the silver-haired man and his companions. Though his body felt exhausted, his mind was filled with countless questions.Who exactly was the Shadow Sect? And why were they interested in him?Lan Mei grasped his arm, her face full of concern. "You really need to be careful, Chen Wu. People like them don’t come without a reason."Chen Wu nodded. "I know. But I can’t just sit back without finding out what’s really going on."Lan Mei was silent for a moment before letting out a deep sigh. "Alright. If you really want to investigate, then I’m coming with you."Chen Wu gave a faint smile. "Thank you, Lan Mei."Before they could discuss further, an elderly man in the sect’s elder robes entered the hall. His face, usually calm and wise, now bore a trace of concern."Chen Wu," he called in a firm voice.Chen Wu immediately bowed in respect. "Elder Xuan."Elder Xuan observed the disciples still gathered in the hall befor

    Chen Wu remained standing in place, feeling the throbbing pain from his wounds. Lan Mei supported him anxiously."We need to get you treated," she said.Chen Wu shook his head. "I'm fine. These aren't serious wounds."Lan Mei sighed, knowing how stubborn Chen Wu could be. "At the very least, we need to find out who that cloaked man was. He’s not an ordinary person."Chen Wu nodded. "I want to know too. But more importantly, he called this the 'first test.' That means more tests are coming."Lan Mei bit her lip. "Then we need to prepare. I won’t let you face this alone."They returned to the sect’s headquarters, where they trained. However, as they arrived, the atmosphere felt strange. The air was thick with tension, and several disciples whispered among themselves with anxious expressions.Chen Wu stopped a passing disciple. "What's going on?"The disciple looked at him seriously. "Visitors from an outside sect have arrived. They want to meet the most talented disciples."Chen Wu exch

  • Chapter 99: The Test Begins

    Chen Wu stood silently in the middle of the training ground, his mind filled with questions. The mysterious old man had appeared like a storm, delivering a lesson he had never expected. Despite his exhaustion, a stronger fire burned within him."Truly worthy of a technique to combat darkness," Chen Wu muttered, recalling the old man's words. But who was he, really? And what did he mean by ‘a more challenging test’?The next day, Chen Wu tried to return to his routine. He focused on basic techniques to calm his mind. However, something felt different. Every movement he performed now carried a depth he had never perceived before. It was as if the old man had opened a door to a new understanding."Focus on balance," he reminded himself, recalling the old man’s lesson. He tried to harmonize his attacks and defenses into one seamless flow. Each punch and kick he practiced felt more precise and powerful.But before he could immerse himself completely in his training, a voice broke his conce
