"Long live Li Yong!" "Long live Xue Hua Academy!" "Cultivator Jin Shuang will definitely win!" "Get that intruder!"

The thunderous cheers of thousands of spectators electrified the arena, relentlessly encouraging their hero, Li Yong. The voices were like an unstoppable ocean wave, filling the air with an energy that almost seemed to resonate in the chest of anyone who heard it.

Amongst the roar, the sect leaders, both from the Four Star Sect to the Five Star Sect, only nodded slowly, as if victory was already entrenched in Li Yong's hands.

Their gazes were full of confidence, as if there was no other possibility than the glory of Xue Hua Academy.

"Xuehua Academy is not a mere empty name! There's no way Li Yong can lose to that young man who's just a street cultivator like Bao Xuan!" Wang Yunzhong, the leader of Xuehua Academy, whispered softly.

Although his voice was only a whisper, the true energy he used made his voice clearly audible throughout the main stage. His words cut through

The sound made the hairs stand up, and the vibrations were felt all the way to the bone.Suddenly, an invisible wall appeared before Bao Xuan, blocking dozens of Li Yong's sword thrusts that had previously seemed unstoppable.TRANG - TRANG - TRANG!The sound of the sword clashing with the energy wall was loud, deafening.

    Most put down as much as 50 gold tails for Zhou Wen's victory, believing that the young genius was invincible. However, with a faint smile, Eadric Rong put down some money for Bao Xuan's victory.The reproachful stares of bystanders did not shake his confidence. He just shrugged casually and said,"Wouldn't it be too conspicuous if the whole city was betting on Zhou Wen's victory? Why don't we make it a little more balanced?"That answer, in a tone full of common sense, made several people who heard it nod in agreement.Some of those with more money eventually decided to follow Eadric Rong's lead, placing bets on Bao Xuan's victory, although the number in favor of Zhou Wen remained far greater.Finally, the long-awaited day arrived.The morning sun emerged from behind the horizon, its faint rays trying to penetrate the chill of the season, as if to give a little warmth to the sprawling Imperial grounds.The morning air was still lingering with coolness, creating a light mist that shro

  • 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 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

    "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

    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
