As a gust of cold wind slapped Edmon Ouwyang's face, he wiped away a drop of tear that fell on his cheek. In the depths of his heart, he vowed to take revenge and make the boy named Eadric Rong regret having stolen the show during the Wudang Sect's recruitment.

Until the sun appeared to be leaning over the western horizon, and when the sky had turned a blood-red color, Edmon Ouwyang's anger towards Eadric Rong still had not subsided.

Finally, when the Lorien Priest announced that just over half of the candidates had made the cut, Eadric Rong walked back to his hut at the edge of the Bamboo Grove.

In the old and humble hut, Rongkuo was lost in deep reverie. He wondered what techniques he should borrow from the library tomorrow.

As a disciple, everyone in the outer courtyard was given permission to have one copy of the first-level sword skill and one copy of the zero-level empty-handed palm martial arts skill.

The happiness Eadric Rong felt at that moment was overwhelming. His face was

    He gazed up at the star-filled sky, feeling excited for the future to come.Standing on a cliff that was about two meters high from the narrow street, Eadric Rong jumped lightly.There is a flat section on the cliff, a perfect place for an expert to sit to cultivate while absorbing the gentle Moon's energy."Didn't anyone see me?" muttered Eadric Rong in a low voice.He checked left and right, alert to the possibility of any sect disciples or sect guards who might pass by and see him.His face changed into relief, so he carefully spread his special mat on the flat part of the cliff rock."This is the perfect night to absorb all the moon's energy," he murmured as he looked up at the dark sky. "According to Senior Kyron Mo, it is precisely on a dead moon night like this that the energy I will absorb will be of higher quality!"After that, he sat quietly in the lotus position, and began to meditate with full concentration.As the gloomy and cold moonlight seeped into his body, Eadric Ron

    The clock is set according to Chen Shi's time in the Shichen system, meaning the current time is between 7:00 am and 9:00 am, when the sun has risen and is in the sky. The bright light cast on the Bamboo Forest is mesmerizing.In a decrepit-looking hut, sunlight streamed through the cracks in the window, which was covered with old paper torn in several places. The bright rays exposed Fenn Zhao's eyes to blinding light, making him squint."Where am I?" Fenn Zhao wondered inwardly. He had just woken up from a stupor and tried to get up immediately.However, as soon as he moved, an excruciating pain attacked his chest."Ouch!" he screamed.The pain was so intense that tears fell from his eyes."What happened to me? Did I break my sternum?" Fenn Zhao thought in panic.Then, he began to remember. In the middle of the night, before dawn, he had come to a remote hut at the edge of the Bamboo Forest, where Eadric Rong lived.His intention was to break the boy's dantian. However, unexpectedly,

    "Now, quickly leave here. Before my anger peaks and I decide to slit your throat and take your life. As luck would have it, I only retaliated by breaking your dantian, just like what you were about to do to me last night. Isn't it even?" said Eadric Rong mercilessly. He'd had enough of these cruel kids like Fenn Zhao.At that moment, the sun was directly overhead. The wind blowing in the Bamboo Forest continued to rustle, swaying the bamboo stalks as if they were graceful dancers.The rustling sound of the long leaves created a melody that resembled the strains of a flute, bringing a strange feeling to the heart.Fenn Zhao hobbled along, holding his staff tightly. A stabbing pain coursed through his body, making every step feel like torture.He had suffered two devastating blows. The first blow was his broken sternum, a painful physical injury.However, the second blow was far more severe: damage to his dantian, the spiritual energy center in his body. As a result of that damage, he w

    Millie Xiao's status was quite high in the Wudang Sect as a senior Inner Court disciple, as well as the niece of Elder Juric Teng.Moreover, as a senior disciple at a young age, Millie Xiao's cultivation level was already at the Jade Tiger Swordsman Quasi realm. This was a high tier for a child of her age.So, in Millie Xiao's eyes, the children of that rich man Edmon Ouwyang were like insignificant dust in the face of her high status.With a dissatisfied look on her face, she asked,"Do you want me to drag those four kids along, then have them apologize to you?" asked Millie Xiao, trying to hide her angry expression."No need," Eadric Rong replied, looking calm."I will not be swayed by their provocations. After all, aren't they only briefly able to show off their beautiful and expensive clothes?”“This afternoon, all the new kids have to pick up their sect uniforms and wear them in their daily activities," Eadric Rong replied calmly."Alright then," Millie Xiao replied. For some rea

  • The Secret of The Demonic Artifact   An Evil Plan – Part I.

    The most relevant explanation for the question swirling in Eadric Rong's heart was why he was able to execute the Thirteen Flying Bird Moves Sword Technique—a First Rank sword technique, which the front page of the manual warned about:'took six months to complete the training.' The answer lay in Eadric Rong's Cultivation Level. Ever since obtaining the Pearl Core from senior Mi Shilin, his strength instantly soared, reaching the peak of the Jade Tiger Swordsman realm.The Thirteen Flying Bird Moves Sword Technique, meanwhile, was specially designed for first-year disciples, most of whom cultivated in the Crystal Dew Swordsman realm.Thus, when Eadric Rong was practicing the Sword Technique, the amount of energy he had far exceeded the requirements. As a result, every time he executed those Sword Moves, everything felt easy and smooth.However, Eadric Rong remained unaware of one thing.His strength was already quite strong and had even exceeded the strength of the Wudang Sect's core

  • The Secret of The Demonic Artifact   An Evil Plan – Part II.

    There was no reply from his three friends when they heard Edmon Ouwyang's plan. Silence ensued among the four children. However, Edmon Ouwyang spoke again. He then sounded angry."What the hell are you three doing? Why is no one supporting me with this plan? Do you no longer consider me your good friend?" Edmon Ouwyang's voice sounded very harsh.Meanwhile, his three friends could be heard persuading him. Zheng Feng's voice was the one speaking at that moment."Listen to me, Edmon Ouwyang," Zheng Feng said, "It's not that we don't want to support you. However, the rules in the Wudang Sect are very strict.If bullying occurs and is as fatal as you plan, we're worried that the four of us will be the ones to suffer in the future.So, why not postpone your plan, until we get a chance to harm the boy, without any witnesses?"Edmon Ouwyang was silent for a moment, then ordered, "Speak now!"The sound of breathing could be heard, and Zheng Feng began to lay out his plan."Don't bring him har

  • The Secret of The Demonic Artifact   Dragon & Phoenix Character Umbrella.

    Body Lightening is very important to support a practitioner in battle. The more nimble and agile one's movements are, the more difficult it is for enemy attacks to touch one's body. This Body Lightening movement is calculated in units of Agitation or Evasion.At the Wudang Sect arena, a young girl with a calm face sat at the registration desk, seemingly busy writing and organizing the list of participants.Meanwhile, in the background, as Eadric Rong approached her, there were low voices and shouts of encouragement from the audience cheering on the fighters in action. The sounds created a passionate and tense atmosphere.Instantly, Eadric Rong's heart boiled; he couldn't wait to engage in that adrenaline-filled fight scene. He felt his blood stirring, ready to take on the challenge and achieve victory."Eadric Rong, a First Grade Outer Court disciple, wishes to enroll in the arena!" he told the girl.The girl raised her face, looked at Eadric Rong for a moment, then said in an indiffe

  • The Secret of The Demonic Artifact   Dragon & Phoenix Character Umbrella - Part Two.

    The umbrella is made from ash wood, a type of wood similar to oak. Ash wood is known for its strength and is often used in weapon manufacturing. It also has good resistance to damage and environmental influences.In some cultures, ash wood is often used as a material to destroy magical creatures.When Eadric Rong saw the umbrella, with its handle made of ash wood and its surface painted with images of a dragon and phoenix flying together, his heart was filled with joy."Good! I think this umbrella will be suitable for use as a weapon. Didn't Senior Kyron Mo once say that in his prime, he was known by the nickname 'The Demon Umbrella'? Doesn't this match my cultivation, which is based on moon energy?"Although his face was covered by the Hell King mask, Eadric Rong's voice sounded very excited.The girl, who works as an administrative assistant at the Arena, immediately handed Eadric Rong the umbrella with the dragon and phoenix painted on it.With a friendly smile, she introduced hers

    "Isn't it possible that the Zhen Long pill, the grand prize we're after, will be brought in by an expert from the neighboring Empire. That would tarnish the face of all the cultivators of this country!" worried murmurs could be heard from various directions.Meanwhile, on the other side, the Five Star Sect seats that were filled with an aura of majesty seemed to flinch. Even so, dissatisfaction was clearly visible in their eyes. Everyone there was angry, though restrained themselves very well."Should I go forward?" Zhou Wen, the young genius of the Blue Sky Sect, asked quietly to his Sect Leader, Liang Tiancheng. The look in his eyes signaled his readiness to act."No need," Liang Tiancheng replied, his voice firm. "There are still four other Five Star Sects ranked below you. Stay in your seat, show your attitude as a supreme power holder."Zhou Wen nodded, accepting the order with humility. Although his desire to advance was strong, he still respected his leader's decision.With thi

    "Look, Li Yong from Xuehua Academy. Are you going to face me with the Sacred Heart Sword move?" asked Bao Xuan in a calm tone, yet there was a mocking tone in it.He fanned his sweaty body, his face showing a hint of fatigue from the previous fight.The presence of the two geniuses of the Five Star Sect was indeed quite draining for Bao Xuan, although he still tried to maintain his imperious appearance.Then, Bao Xuan clapped loudly, and suddenly a man emerged from the crowd. The man looked unknown, but he was carrying a bottle of water and a pill. The imperial officials standing around the stage allowed the man to approach Bao Xuan without hindrance.With a sly smile that expressed satisfaction, Bao Xuan accepted the drink and pills. After taking a sip, he calmly said to Li Yong,"Is Young Swordsman Li Yong willing to give me ten minutes to recover energy? Isn't it tantamount to cheating if you win a fight without giving your opponent a chance to recover after fighting twice in a row

  • Fan and Shadow Clash.

    All eyes were fixed on the stage as the excitement grew.The screeching sound of the demon skull's claws caused a strong wind to whip up, adding to the tension in the air.White smoke billowed out with a choking tension, covering the battle area like an icy fog covering a frozen landscape.Amidst the mist, there was no sound of Bao Xuan howling in pain, as if he was untouched by Wei Qiang's attack.The silence added to the anxiety in the hearts of the audience, making them wonder:"Is Bao Xuan really that tough? Even Wei Qiang of the Black Shadow Sect couldn't defeat him in ten moves?""Let's hope that at the end of this attack, Wei Qiang will come out victorious!"The audience prayed silently, full of worry.Bao Xuan's extremely confident actions earlier had planted a seed of doubt in their minds. The roar of the crowd filled the air, adding to the tension and anticipation of the outcome of this fight.Just then, the cold winter wind blew, the white smoke from Wei Qiang's attack bega

  • Bao Xuan Sang Roque Cultivator.

    The contest rules prohibiting a fight to the death no longer mattered to him. His resolve was made—if necessary, he would drag Bao Xuan into the abyss of death together."In that case, prepare to die!" shouted Jiang Hui, his voice echoing, shaking the arena filled with spectators. His sword flashed, slashing through the air with unimaginable speed, as if about to split the sky.In an instant, a sword beam emitting silver light spread across the entire stage, forming a powerful vortex of energy. Snow flakes flew out, blown by the sharp gusts of wind caused by his sword movements, creating the illusion of a blizzard enveloping the entire arena.However, as the sword light and snow flakes faded, and the rumbling sound that resembled crashing waves subsided, Bao Xuan was still standing tall in the center of the stage.His body did not flinch in the slightest. His face remained calm, even looking a little bored. His handsome face exuded a haughty air, while the faint smile that graced his

    If only there wasn't a rule prohibiting the Five Star Sect from competing with the Four Star Sect, the geniuses of the Five Star Sect might have already stepped onto the stage to humiliate Jiang Hui who was now standing arrogantly before everyone.When everyone was almost certain that Jiang Hui would win the Dragon Meeting for geniuses of the Four Star Sect, suddenly a shadowy figure flashed at an incredible speed, difficult for ordinary eyes to follow.In an instant, a young man was standing on the stage, stealing the show with his striking appearance.The young man looked like a descendant of nobility, no more than twenty years old. He wore a soft blue tunic with intricate patterns, showing his status and wealth. The long jacket that covered his heels was made of selected silk, flowing gracefully in the cold winter wind, adding a sense of elegance to his figure.His face was handsome, but a sardonic smile was clearly etched on his lips. He wore the typical skullcap of an imperial of

  • The Meeting of Dragons Begins.

    As they spoke, the crowd around them intensified, and the sound of the gong resounding three times signaled that the "Meeting of Dragons" event was about to begin."The Dragon Meeting is about to begin!" whispered Ouyang Fai enthusiastically, his voice almost drowned out by the noise.Amidst the hustle and bustle, the sound of heavy, echoing horse hooves began to sound from the direction of the imperial palace. The sound grew closer, distracting everyone's attention.When the anticipated figure appeared, there was a moment of silence, only to be broken by the crowd's amazement.A war knight clad in silver armor, which shone in the sunlight, appeared gallantly on a pure white horse like snow.The horse's steps were slow but steady, adding an aura of majesty to the scene. The horse, more surprisingly, had wide wings that looked shiny, adding a magical and mysterious feel to the whole appearance."Suiji Ma!" "Sembrani Horse!" shouted several people in the crowd, their voices full of admi

  • Surprise after surprise.

    Eadric Rong watched the man standing in the center of the crowd with a sharp gaze. The man looked majestic and imposing, surrounded by Golden Sword Sect disciples marching in a respectful manner.Amidst the echoing cheers and shouts from the audience, Eadric Rong remained calm, unperturbed by the crowd around him. The sounds of applause and cheers praising the Golden Sword Sect blended together, creating a very festive atmosphere on the field."Is he the so-called Leader Shen Yutian, the leader of the Golden Sword Sect?" asked Eadric Rong inwardly, his sharp eyes scrutinizing every detail of the man's appearance curiously.Shen Yutian stood in an authoritative manner among his disciples, wearing robes that seemed to glow with a golden color under the light of the crescent moon.The robe, though similar in design to the Taoist Priest's clothing, was made of fine silk that drifted gently around his body, adding a sense of luxury.His hair was neatly combed up, forming a bun that was hel

  • Arrival of Invited Guests.

    In the invited guests' quarters of the Jin Shuang Imperial court, the atmosphere was suddenly tense as the Black Shadow Sect Leader, Gong Fang, appeared. The oppressive aura he spread pervaded the air, making everyone present feel a tense pressure.Everyone's gaze was instantly lowered, crushed by his dominant presence.However, the oppressive aura soon faded.Suddenly, a well-dressed man in a dark blue velvet robe appeared with a confident stride."Xue Hua Academy," "Isn't that martial arts academy leader Xue Hua?"Whispers ensued, and all the spotlight instantly moved to the newly arrived figure, who was called from Xue Hua Academy.Apparently, the appearance of this newly arrived figure, although not much different in age from Gong Fang, but his young-looking face, like a young man in his twenties, exudes an alluring charisma.His dramatic appearance caught everyone's attention.As a newcomer to the Jin Shuang Empire, Eadric Rong was clearly confused by the names of the night's cel

  • Arriving at Capital.

    Eadric Rong made the long journey on foot to Xuefeng Du Town, spending nearly two months on the winding, challenging roads.He deliberately chose the grueling overland journey, using every opportunity to practice the Ferris Wheel Sword Art and meditate in an attempt to break through to the Golden Lotus Swordsman level.However, no matter how hard he tried, every attempt ended in vain, as if there was an invisible wall blocking his progress."I really need to get Zhen Long Pills to break through to the Golden Lotus Swordsman level," Eadric Rong muttered to himself as he stood before the East gate of Xuefeng Du City.The towering city fortress, painted in a faded gray-white color, stood firmly in front of him. The road above the fort was lined with soldiers on patrol, creating a haunting atmosphere but at the same time providing a sense of security for the townspeople.One of the soldiers guarding the entrance, a man with a hard face and a sharp gaze, glanced at Eadric Rong."Daozhang,
