The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Teddy Huo and His Mission – Part II.
Eadric Rong then realized the cause of Millie Xiao's concern when they met."Don't worry. As you can see, I'm fine!""Thank goodness then..." Millie Xiao wiped the sweat from her forehead.Everyone in the sect knew that the gorge at the edge of the Bamboo Forest was extremely dangerous. It was said that there was a bottomless pit. Only highly skilled experts could ascend and descend to the bottom of the abyss freely, and even then, they needed tools like hemp ropes. Therefore, it was only natural for Millie Xiao to feel anxious.Then, the two walked down the trading area.Millie Xiao was a well-off girl, while Eadric Rong was a poor orphan. That afternoon, Millie Xiao paid for all the food and drinks.At first, Eadric Rong was about to refuse all the treats, but Millie Xiao glared at him. Finally, he relented and accepted the food bought by the little girl. The two laughed and ran around in the simple trading center of Wudang Sect with happy hearts.Eadric Rong and Millie Xiao intende

On that night, the half-crescent moon hung in the dark sky. Its gloomy light seemed to infiltrate between the bamboo branches that trembled in the wind. The softly whispering night breeze carried the fresh fragrance of the leaves, as if sending out a mysterious vibration of the lonely night on Mount Wudang.Teddy Huo was seen sneaking around, sword in hand. The weapon, when reflected in the crescent light, although gloomy, occasionally seemed to glitter.He wore a black sheet to cover his face. To complete his look, Teddy Huo wore a compact, tight-fitting all-black outfit that facilitated movement and made no noise when the wind rustled between the sleeves.Quickly, his figure was already at the door of Eadric Rong's hut.The sword was raised, ready to kill Eadric Rong like a professional criminal.As is known, Eadric Rong's hut is separated from his fellow student workers. This left Teddy Huo free to finish off the boy.Standing in front of that fragile wooden door, Teddy Huo was str

A moment later, after the room was quiet, Teddy Huo walked slowly while holding his chest.The destination was Physician Kwee—the sect physician who treated all disciples and elders in the sect for free.At the Wudang Sect Medicine Hall, Physician Kwee asked, "Who hit you with the Whirlwind Palm Art?" Physician Kwee's face contorted. It seemed like Physician Kwee was a little worried.But Teddy Huo kept trying to hide all the events of last night. He gave unreasonable excuses, making hatred appear on Physician Kwee's face.Teddy Huo said, "I fell in the forest while searching for Lingzhi mushrooms for medicine. Unfortunately, I hit my chest on a big rock. Now I'm suffering from a broken bone."While speaking, Teddy Huo's voice sounded breathless. It was obvious that he was enduring pain.Hearing Teddy Huo's boast, Physician Kwee just shook his head. In his heart, he thought, "Already weak, unwilling to admit that he was hit by the attack of the Tread of the Wind. Obviously, he had a d

Amidst the bustling Tanshan market, Eadric Rong stood transfixed—looking confused.There were a hundred stalls selling weapons lined up neatly. Each stall had its merits, and all of them offered items that captivated the hearts of all Hunter experts, as well as Cultivators."I don't know which one will give me a loan?" Eadric Rong hesitated when he saw that there were many stalls to choose from.The morning sun reflected golden rays on the rows of swords and the various pill bottles at each stall. This further increased Eadric Rong's desire to own one of the weapons on display. So far, he had only used a borrowed sword from the training hall, which he had always kept track of. This weapon must be returned when it is evening. Even then, because the availability of training weapons was limited, he had to compete with the student workers.So practically, Eadric Rong used the Sword of Peach Wood more often.The boisterous sounds of people haggling could still be heard, creating a lively p
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Xingying Ranked Sword – Part II.
Errol Hou (20 years old) is the son of a blacksmith or weapons forger in Tanshan City.Apart from having enough money from his father, he got all the weapons and combat equipment from his father, Hou Gang (55 years old), at a cheap price. That's why he didn't mind when Eadric Rong bought the sword on credit.However, some men who looked busy when Eadric Rong discussed this with Errol Hou hurriedly approached Errol Hou.The four men were dressed in rough clothes. They were known as market thugs.They had a soft spot for Errol Hou because his father is a renowned forger. Hou Gang—Errol Hou's father—had connections with city officials who could jeopardize the four thugs' profession."Young master Errol Hou, who is this young man?" asked one of the thugs."He's a Wudang Sect disciple. He bought the Xingying rank weapon on credit!""You gave him a loan? How lucky!" The thug's face turned ugly. He couldn't hide his jealous expression. The weapons sold at Errol Hou's stall were all high-grad
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Four Thugs & the Tread of the Whirlwind.
Although he was only a worker disciple, Eadric Rong had an instinct that he was currently dealing with people with evil intentions. Accustomed to being bullied in the Wudang Sect, Eadric Rong correctly guessed these people had bad intentions.Humeng, the leader of the four thugs, laughed. He walked over and stroked his bald head."Haha... you're an arrogant kid. Not the slightest courtesy to your elders. No greetings, you know how to answer haughtily, as if you're a young master of a renowned clan! Looking at the clothes you're wearing, I'm guessing you're just a mere worker disciple, claiming to be the sect's top disciple, thus obtaining a sword loan from young master Errol Hou!"Humeng's words were quite long, but Eadric Rong could already guess the end of the question.Eadric Rong mockingly replied, "Let's just say that the four of you want to loot this sword I bought on credit, right?"Seeing the four thugs stunned as if their intentions had been guessed, Eadric Rong laughed mocki
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Black Wolf – Part I.
Currently, in front of Eadric Rong is an evenly colored green landscape.That's the Cloud Pine Forest.On the right side, visible in the distance, was the towering Wudang Mountain Range, where the Wudang Sect stood. On the left side, the Zhonglu Mountains, where the Zhonglu Sect exists, can faintly be seen.It's a long distance, but a line of tall trees joins the two mountains.The scent of pine leaves drifted in, filling his lungs as Eadric Rong entered the Pine Cloud Forest.A mystical and somber atmosphere immediately enveloped him. He felt small as he walked under the canopy of pine needles, which looked like a green tapestry."May fortune be on my side. I am in debt to my kind master. There's no way I can let down his trust in me!"Eadric Rong was determined to get his quarry, which was just one demonic creature, no matter what.When it was dusk and the sky was reddening, he didn't see any forest creatures, and disappointment set in."Am I unlucky again? Why hasn't a single demon
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Black Wolf – Part II.
The sun was already directly overhead, and Eadric Rong was getting further into the heart of the Pine Cloud Forest. Since he had obtained the Pearl Core and his cultivation level was at the late Jade Tiger Level, Eadric Rong's instincts had become sharp."I smell the scent of an approaching demonic creature. It looks like this is a demonic creature in the Shadowclaw Tier," Eadric Rong hissed happily.There are eight levels of power for demonic creatures. Shadowclaw is a sinister creature whose combat power is at the lowest level.GRRR!In front of Eadric Rong stood a shaggy wolf. It was jet black.The demonic creature was about two meters tall. Its eyes blazed like the light of a night star, while its mouth was open, displaying pointed teeth with dripping saliva."Black Wolf, Shadowclaw level!" hissed Eadric Rong smilingly.The Xingying sword was instantly unsheathed.Eadric Rong's face didn't look scared in the slightest. Instead, he spoke with a sinister expression on his face. "Com

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

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 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

Thirteen Flying Bird Sword Moves
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.

"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

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,

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

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.

The End of a Play
That afternoon, there was a crowd at the top of Wudang Mountain. A young boy stood on the sect's podium, looking awkward in the crowd of other children. The boy was Eadric Rong, who was asked to explain how he could cultivate Pure Eve energy.Eadric Rong began to clarify, followed by scornful looks from the crowd of new kids."I hereby confirm that I have never used any underhanded tactics or cheated in my actions in the Energy Meter trials." Eadric Rong stopped and sighed, trying to muffle his heartbeat.Although his voice did not project using pure air, because it was so quiet, every word he spoke was clearly heard and immediately understood by his listeners.Eadric Rong continued, "On that day, while I was traveling for resources in the middle of the Cloud Pine Forest, I accidentally came across a very strange tree.The tree had red leaves and fruit. Surprisingly, the fruit was also red and was the only fruit growing on the tree!"At this point, everyone listening to the story from
