Everyone was still in disbelief that the big Bear, who had defeated opponents for a week straight, would now succumb at the hands of an unheralded fighter - Fighter San."That was a mere coincidence! Let's continue the battle again. I want to see if you're still lucky, San!" shouted an excited spectator.As if provoked by the fire ignited by the disgruntled spectators, people began clamoring for Fighter San to continue the fight.Hearing the crowd's demand, also fueled by curiosity and guessing who the figure behind the Dragon and Phoenix Umbrella was, Priest Lorien chimed in. "Let's fight again. You still have two chances!" he said, adding to the heat.Eager to earn contribution points and to prove his skills, Eadric Rong decided not to stop fighting. His face gazed around the stands while raising his Dragon and Phoenix umbrella high.As the crowd cheered him on, Eadric Rong's eyes flashed even more."I will prove you all wrong!" he thought angrily.He said in a flat tone of voice, "
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Eadric Rong's determination.
"Wind Sword Slash!" exclaimed an 8-year-old boy, encouraging himself amid sword practice.He trains in a mini bamboo forest behind the Wudang Sect.The little boy was named Eadric Rong.The mini bamboo forest is part of the territory of the Wudang Sect, one of the strongest sects in the Wriston Kingdom.Since this morning, Eadric Rong had been engrossed in practicing the sword technique known as the Nine Steps of the Wind Sword, a basic technique that all disciples in the Wudang Sect must master. However, Eadric Rong's physical condition was pitiful.Since childhood, he never had any power in his body. Eadric Rong was born without the Pearl Core, the energy-gathering source at the center of the human body that is necessary for anyone who wants to pursue the path of cultivation and martial arts.Without the Pearl Core, even if he had practiced the sword for a thousand years, all those moves would only have looked beautiful but would have been powerless.Eadric Rong can be said to have

After rolling for six rounds, Malakai Yan stopped as his body hit a rock. He tried to stand up, but his head felt dizzy, and everything in front of his eyes appeared as mere shadows.Although there was no pain from the stab in his chest, the attack left a shocking mark. What's more, he felt incredibly embarrassed. It had never occurred to him that Eadric Rong, who had always been the victim of bullies, had enough sword skills to take him down.With his two best friends, who had always faithfully followed his orders, standing by and witnessing his defeat, Malakai Yan's mind was worried about his reputation being ruined if word got out.In his rage, Malakai Yan pulled out a sword. Unlike the wooden sword Eadric Rong was using, this was a real sword and looked dangerous. The sword's light glittered in the sunlight as Malakai Yan pointed it at Eadric Rong with a trembling voice."It turns out you have a little ability," Malakai Yan said, shivering angrily. His voice rose even higher. "You

At that crucial moment, when the tip of Malakai Yan's sword seemed about to split Eadric Rong's body in two, there was suddenly a loud noise.KRAK!With unbelievable speed, a pebble bounced off and struck his sword."Ouch!" Malakai Yan winced in pain.When the stone touched his sword, he felt electricity sting his hand, jolting his heartbeat. His sword slipped out and fell, clinking to the ground.A moment later, Malakai Yan raised his head and looked for who did that. "Who dares to stand in my way? Come out and show yourself! We'll fight to the finish!" His voice was full of arrogance.Malakai Yan dared to act as he pleased all this time because he relied on his father, the deputy leader of the Wudang Sect. So, no one dared to challenge him.The atmosphere became quiet, with only the wind rustling.Not long after, a man around thirty-two years old emerged from behind a rock. His face was solemn, and he was wearing the clothes and robes commonly worn by elders in the Wudang Sect.His

If his actions were reported to his father, then Malakai Yan was sure that his father would not hesitate to expel him from the Wudang Sect."We have to go!" snapped Malakai Yan harshly as he pulled his two friends, Judith Tang and Teddy Huo, to leave the place. The two of them followed Malakai Yan back to the residences of the inner court disciples in the Wudang Sect.Since Elder Juric Teng's arrival, the audience of Wudang Sect's outer court disciples had immediately dispersed. No one dared comment after this stern elder's arrival.After things quietened, Elder Juric Teng flicked his sleeves and disappeared in a light movement.At that moment, Millie Xiao immediately ran towards Eadric Rong, who was still on the ground from the blow. Malakai Yan's sword had almost taken his life."Eadric Rong, are you okay?" the girl asked as she scrutinized Eadric Rong's body, looking for signs of injury."Ah, they're all just minor scratches. They'll heal over time," Eadric Rong replied as he took
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact At the Bottom of the Ravine – PART I.
The sky was dark that night, with black clouds rolling over the horizon. The moonlight failed to penetrate through the gaps in the clouds, leaving silence in the secluded outer courtyard of the student village.However, the silence was interrupted by whispers and the bustle of three small children."Let's drag him to the Bamboo Forest near here. It's impossible to arouse suspicion!" a boy whispered."Shouldn't we wrap him up to avoid suspicion?" a girl's voice was heard."Can't you two shut up? You've been arguing with each other with no action at all! Now, let's drag this cheap kid away. There's no need to wrap him up in anything. It's too much of a waste of resources for a talentless kid who doesn't have a Pearl Core at the center of his life!" snapped the other boy, making the two boys who were previously arguing instantly fall silent.Two boys immediately dragged Eadric Rong's body while the girl swept away the footprints using leaves. Their demeanor looked like that of profession
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact At the Bottom of the Ravine – PART II.
He was trying to stand up from the pile of leaves arranged like a mattress, feeling and becoming increasingly convinced that he was indeed at the bottom of the ravine when a voice startled him."Good! You've come to your senses?" the voice said, making Eadric Rong realize he wasn't alone. The voice echoed, sounding close but as if it came from far away.Eadric Rong initially thought he was alone at the bottom of this abyss. From feeling shocked, he now felt happy. "S-who is it?"Silence.The sound of someone coughing was heard next.Uhuk!The coughing sound came from a small crack in the abyss wall. While enduring the pain in his body, Eadric Rong hobbled toward the sound's direction, which was precisely at the cave-shaped rock crevice.The cave was dark and gloomy, probably due to the lack of sunlight entering it. However, Eadric Rong's eyes quickly adapted, and he could see clearly inside the cave.Gasp!An older man sat with his eyes closed. His body was very thin, similar to a liv
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact A Hope.
The sound of cackling filled the entire cave, echoing and causing fear. A foul stench came out of the figure's mouth as it brought its head closer to Eadric Rong, only half a meter away from his face."Are you deaf? Didn't you hear my words?" his voice echoed again, sounding like an ancient voice from another world.Eadric Rong naturally shivered with fear.The ugly face, the long and tangled hair. And the most terrifying thing was those empty eyes, as if they were moving and observing him. Eadric Rong felt like he was being interrogated. His mind quickly moved. "No matter what, I have to stay alive! The safest answer is the one I'll use."Subconsciously, still trembling, Eadric Rong replied, "My name is Eadric Rong. An outer court disciple, even if I can be considered a mere worker disciple..."Eadric Rong could feel the figure's hand grip loosening. "He softened when he learned I wasn't a core disciple.""Does Zhang Shi Dao still lead the Wudang Sect?" asked the hideous old figure,

Priest Lorien, who refereed the Arena fight, frowned. He seemed to doubt Eadric Rong's small stature, much smaller than his opponent, Bear. Moreover, the wooden ash umbrella weapon made Priest Lorien's face look as if he wanted to laugh."Are you ready, 'San?" asked Priest Lorien."I'm ready!" replied Eadric Rong quickly. Because he was wearing a mask, his voice sounded strange, so he was not recognized by Priest Lorien."Fine, then, let's speed up the fight this time," said Priest Lorien.The point of speeding up the fight was the anticipated defeat of Eadric Rong in one hit by Bear, who appeared to be wielding a large mace made of special wood.Although it was made of wood, the mace in Bear's hand was very heavy. If someone were to be hit by the mace, they could be seriously injured."And the fight begins!" shouted Priest Lorien in a booming voice, signaling that the fight could begin.Bear's figure flashed with shocking speed. His body vanished instantly, replaced by a dazzling whi

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

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

Break Even! – Part I
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,
