Bragging

They successfully exited the forest, and Li Yun was very kind and friendly, inviting him to her house to rest.

He was stranded, broke, and most importantly, weak, so providing him with a place to stay and food to eat was one of the best gifts he could have received.

They were greeted warmly when they arrived at her home, where she lived with her parents and siblings.

Mo Shen was given new clothes and food, as well as a room in the house to stay in for as long as he pleased.

Her parents were kind and easygoing, just like her, but he couldn't say the same for her sibling.

A guy her age gave Mo Shen the cold shoulder throughout dinner, and when it was time to sleep, he followed him to his room. 

"Don't approach my sister or I'll break your leg." Li Yan warmed him with a furious expression on his face, and the strong pressure he emitted was enough to keep him out of his way.

Mo Shen shot the door after he left, and his eyes flashed with a sharp glint.

"I'm too frail to live in this world." He exclaimed.

When everyone was asleep, Li Yun's parents went to Mo Shen's room and knocked on the door, which he opened after hearing their voice. He would not have opened the door if it had been Li Yan.

They both entered the room and shut the door. Lady Li cast a spell around the room that prevented any sound from leaving.

He initially thought they were coming to kill him; his life has never been peaceful as a result of his father's actions.

"Are you the son of Mo Tang Yuan?" Mr Li inquired, to which he nodded.

"My guess was correct; you are his son."

Mr Li explained how he knew his father; the two were from the same sect at the time, and Mo Shen was a senior who did not use his position to bully those below him, but rather to protect them from harm.

However, everything changed when he fell in love with his fellow disciple, who was most of the guys' dream girl at the time.

When he inherited a bloodline from a venerable demon, he was able to unlock a special power core known as the demon core, which granted him a lot of power and strength.

The sect turned on him, ordering him to release the demon core so that they could perform a duplication ritual and spread it around.

Mo Tang Yuan refused to agree because he knew what the demon core could do to you: it would make you powerful and, eventually, a killing machine.

As a result, he denied the sect the opportunity to lay hands on him, quickly becoming their adversary.

When he found out that his lover had given birth to a son, he immediately performed a forbidden ritual that sealed a demon core inside his body, which was supposed to manifest at the age of 16.

"Did you activate the demon core?" Mr Li inquired, his eyes wide with anticipation.

"I'm not certain." He replied while scratching his head, Mr Li face turned ashen, he could already tell that Mo Shen wasn't taking this seriously.

Mr Li examined his body and smiled, "Don't worry, you have the demon core inside of you but it's still sealed, I'm sure you're still not up to sixteen right?"

"You're right. Does that mean my demon core will awaken in ten days?" "

"I'm certain of it; your father is a genius; making mistakes is not in his line of work." Mrs Li was the one who responded this time; she is a sight to behold, much like Li Yu, but she was the matured version.

"The demon core usually comes with a lot of body exploding pain, so I recommend you exercise your body daily and follow this routine to exercise, it gives you a good amount of endurance that will help you endure the pain."

Mr Li gave him two manuals, one containing detailed exercise routines and the other a meditation manual that will help him strengthen his mind and will power.

Mo Shen became ecstatic after they left.

Once his demon core awakens, he will be able to cultivate like Li Yun and Li Yan, and if he is good enough, he will be able to reach the 3rd level of Qi disciple realm, and with that, he will be able to know his attribute.

The next morning, he awoke very early and began his routine of exercising his body; he used the back of the house for exercise while his room was used for meditation.

His strength increased to 0.5 after exercising, and his agility increased by 0.1; his meditation was there to increase his stamina and perception.

Five days have passed since his meeting with the Li family, and he has finally realized how beautiful and perplexing the world of cultivation is.

"89, 90... 99, 100." Mo Shen did his morning push ups while counting with his mouth.

It was difficult for him to complete twenty push ups on the first day, but after two days, he was able to do fifty without tiring.

He discovered that the more he exercised, the stronger he became.

When his strength finally reached 0.8, he decided to spar with Li Yun to see how far his strength had improved.

If Li Yun had been interested in sparring with him, she would have suggested Li Yan.

However, she was well aware that her twin despised Mo Shen; he was overprotective of her and, if they were to spar, he could seriously injure Mo Shen.

Mo Shen assumed a battle-ready stance, while Li Yun relaxed her body and breathed in and out uniformly.

Li Yan walked out of the house with a cold expression on his face, scowling at Mo Shen's attempt to spar with his sister, which he thought was the funniest thing he'd seen all day.

"At your current strength level, you can't even brag about fighting a level one qi disciple, so I'm curious what kind of mind you have to challenge a level three qi disciple to a sparring match, how ignorant."
