Before them was a pool of water. It was very deep; they couldn't see the bottom.

"You must swim to the bottom of the water; there you will find a door, and once you pass through that door, it means you have passed this trial," the voice instructed them.

The three hesitated for a moment before jumping into the pool of water. The water was freezing; it was difficult. They swam a few distances, but they felt a strange energy stopping them from swimming further.

They immediately swam back to the surface and then came out of the water.

"What is this?" asked Lu Shang.

"Something stopped us from moving further," said Lu Xun.

"What should we do now?" Wang Lei said

"We have no choice but to try to pass this test, or else we can't go forward," said Lu Xun.

They tried multiple time but they were still met with the obstruction binding they for not going forward. They even tried to push each other into the water, it didn't work either.

Wang Lei shook his head. "I think I'll stay here." He sat down

    When Lu Shang fell unconscious on the ground, changes were beginning to take place inside his martial core. The transparent golden divine light within his martial core had already transformed into a deep red color, as though it were being consumed by an intense fire. This change was caused by the transformation of his martial core; it was as if the martial core wanted to lessen the pressure Lu Shang was feeling and was beginning to make Lu Shang's body familiar with the strong energy bearing down on him. This process took only a few seconds; the golden light in Lu Shang's martial core had disappeared completely like a dream, and there was now only a red glow. The change that occurred in Lu Shang's martial core was over. Even when the change had already occurred within his body, he made no sign of waking up any moment from now. His martial core was becoming more and more mature every single day through this extraordinary transformation. "I have never seen such an incredible transfor

    Immediately Lu Shang left the spacetime dimension.The senior elder guardian smiled to himself. "You still look like I underestimate him, not even up to a year, and he has already made his martial core undergo profound change, from transparent white to transparent golden divine light and now to the deep red color," he said with satisfaction.He looked up and said, "Master, you can die in peace now since you have found a worthy successor."The senior guardian was about to turn around when suddenly a cold voice came from behind him."Take care of him and don't help too much; only help when you see he is in a life-and-death situation." The voice said, "This is the voice of the ancient spacetime lord." This was his last will."Yes, master, your subject will listen and obey." The senior guardian replied respectfully, but at that moment, he knew that this was the last time they could ever talk again."I can now rest in peace."The voice echoed in the spacetime dimension.The ancient spaceti

    Lu Shang was sitting cross-legged, still cultivating to comprehend the space barrier. It was as if everything around him suddenly vanished out of existence, leaving him alone in a world of absolute darkness and silence. He couldn't even feel his body anymore. In front of him was an empty void with nothing but a black sea at its center. It seemed so vast that it could swallow up everything in this world. If he let go of his control, he would surely be swallowed by it eventually. The only thing stopping him from letting go was the fact that he knew it was impossible to lose himself here. The darkness had already swallowed up every trace of light and sound in his surroundings. As if trying to escape from this place, his eyes began blinking rapidly. His heart felt like it was going to burst. "This is too scary..." He wanted to run away, but there wasn't anywhere to go. In order for him to reach his destination, he needed to pass through this endless void. This meant that he must keep

    He slowly stood up under the strong energy bearing down on him."Time to see if the technique really works," he muttered and touched his hand with the other one.He started by moving his hands in the air in a way that looked like waves crashing against each other. The energies were rising, but not as much as he expected them to. He could feel the connection between both of his hands, but no real power was coming from it.Then spread them far apart. In the middle of both his hands was something that looked like a blue ball of energy. When the magic sphere reached its full size, he focused on it and tried to move the energy around inside his body and his hand simultaneously.He pushed his hand forward in a fast motion and sent a shockwave into the air. Immediately, it was as if the space around him was frozen, and nothing could touch him inside the frozen space.The wave spread over the area he wanted to cover quickly. It was a very hard barrier that protected him from everything around

    Lu Xun was walking towards the kitchen, where all the maids were busy preparing food for the prisoners. None of the maids even turned to take a look at her. She was looking at all the maids; some were cooking the food while others were washing the dishes and other utensils in the kitchen. One of the maids holding a tray of food walked out of the kitchen, and Lu Xun silently followed behind her. The maid soon got to the long passage leading to the prison cell. Lu Xun suddenly called out for the maid to stop. "What?" The maid turned around with a question mark on her face. "I want us to switch clothes for now," Lu Xun said. "Is that ok with you?" "Why do you need me to change my clothes?" The maid asked curiously. "Because I will be needing it for something," Lu Xun replied calmly. A lot of things happened today, but this was one of the most important things she must do now if she wants to pass the test. She must make sure everything is perfect before the night's end.

    Two days later, Wang Lei also passed the test with bruises on his body; even when it was his consciousness that was sent to pass the test, he still sustained injuries from the fight with the magical beasts. It was a bit of an inconvenience, but because this test is based on strength, it does not matter if the wounds were given by a magical beast or not; Wang Lei was becoming powerful due to the experience he had battling any magical beasts in the span of three days. So far in the three days of testing, Wang Lei has already mastered his three martial skills, which are: lightning-wave handwork, iron arm, and thunder fist. He was surprised to find out that Lu Xun was the first to pass the test, while Lu Shang has still not passed the test. He thought that Lu Shang was going to be the first of their three to pass the test, but the reverse was the case. "How long have you been here?" said Wang Lei to Lu Xun, who was beside him. Lu Xun smiled, "I am here for two days." Wang Lei nodded a

    Lu Shang was thinking about how to fight against the class 3 magical beast and the several class 2 magical beasts that were still alive. He soon decided to kill off the remaining class 2 magical beasts before focusing on fighting the class 3 magical beast, for he had no idea if killing it would be possible or not. He could only try his best anyway, for there was nothing else left but to try his hardest to kill the magical beasts at all costs. If he can't kill the class 3 magical beast, he will find a way to escape from the magical beast. With these thoughts running through his mind, the magical beast of class 3 waved his wings and fired a thunderbolt towards Lu Shang. "Fuh!" The magical beast's attack hit Lu Shang head on and sent him flying high into the air. The next moment, Lu Shang landed on the ground; blood could be seen on his lips and forehead. Lu Shang could feel his life slowly draining from his body due to the shock of the impact of the magical beast's attack. As he sa

    He opened his eyes after his consciousness was brought back to his body, and he was surprised to see Lu Sun and Wang Lei looking at him."Why are you staring at me that way?" Lu Shang said with a smile.Wang Lei's expression immediately changed from being shocked into a grin: "I don't know what happened, but I guess you must be fighting a difficult battle.""Earlier, when you had not woken up, difficult injuries started appearing all over your body." Lu Xun said"Yes, I was fighting a group of magical beasts, with numerous class 1, several class 2, and I even fought a class 3 magical beast. I was lucky to defeat and kill the magical beasts, or else I would have been killed by the attacks of that class 3 and class 2 magical beasts."Wang Lei and Lu Xun were shocked and surprised when they heard the words spoken by Lu Shang. They both looked at each other and then stared at Lu Shang; they felt their hearts tremble. They could not help but praise Lu Shang. He was bold enough to risk his

"Sir," he began, "I would like to know if my friends and I can still participate in the next monster core submission?"Instructor Deng's eyes widened, and his voice betrayed his disbelief. "Wait. You're talking about the class 2 monster core submission?" he asked, still struggling to grasp Lu Shang's request.Lu Shang nodded, his mouth composed into a cute smile.The room fell into an unusual silence as everyone absorbed the weight of Lu Shang's request. Even the Elders and teachers present were taken by surprise. Was Lu Shang being overconfident, or was there something wrong with him at that moment?Instructor Deng stood dumbfounded for a moment, trying to regain his composure.

    Meanwhile, the sect leader of the Glossom battalion sect arrived in front of a magnificent building.Approaching the grand gate, he was about to fly through when abruptly stopped."Stop there! Who are you? Don't you know the rule that no one is permitted to fly into the palace except for special individuals?"The guard's voice boomed around the vicinity, which immediately alerted the guards inside. They began to rush out, prepared to attack if the person was an enemy.It was a laid-down rule that flying isn't allowed in the palace vicinity except for some individuals. Everybody knows about this, so seeing someone break this rule in broad daylight was quite shocking.The sect leader obeyed without hesitation, cloaked in black with his face concealed, except for his eyes. He stood calmly on the high wall of the gate, his hands behind his back."Oh, sorry, sire." The moment the guard got to him and saw his face, he immediately went down to his knees and apologized.

    Shock after shock

    The junior cultivators discussed amongst themselves, looking at Lu Shang in shock, their hearts sinking in disbelief. Some refused to believe that a 5th stage body enhancer cultivator would be able to hunt for so many monster cores.Even some senior cultivators couldn't help but talk about him, rebuking the idea that he gathered such monster cores with his own strength, suspecting he might have gained them through unfair means."Lu Shang? Isn't he the weakling that Mo Shen always bullies?" one junior cultivator asked, the disbelief evident in their voice."Yes, I still remember him. That's him," another replied, shaking their head in disbelief."I heard he suddenly fought against Mo Shen and even beat him. Not only that, he dealt with Mo Shen and his friends mercilessly," a third added, the shock evident in their tone."I also heard that he and his friend got into a conflict with the Furious Five and defeated them, causing them the biggest embarrassment," someone else chimed in, their

    Lu Shang shocking display

    Everyone was stunned by Lu Shang; it was an unexpected scene. It is quite shocking to see a junior cultivator at the 5th stage of the body enhancer realm bring out many monster cores at once.Instructor Deng and other teachers, along with some elders, widened their eyes in shock, looking at Lu Shang as a monster.Only some elders weren't surprised at Lu Shang bringing out numerous monster cores, especially the ones that happened to witness when Lu Shang and his team were battling against numerous class 1 magical beasts with ease.Elder Su had a bright smile on his face. 'I wonder how you got stronger so quick. The sect master must know something about you; he wasn't shocked nor surprised when I told him about you.' He was thinking deeply about Lu Shang."Impossible! It can't be true. He must be one of those greedy fools who cooperated with others to rob his fellow students." A student angrily snorted from the crowd.Hearing that, many junior cultivators became angry, follow suit by cu

    Several teachers stood at the very front of the students, ready to move on and conduct the next exercise."Next, we're going to see who gets the highest monster core and reward the five winners...." Elder Su was cut short by the sudden noise of the students, and this time he decided to listen."Sir, when we were finding our way out of the forest, my group and I were robbed of our monster core," explained a girl from the back of the crowd."Same here; many of us weren't able to escape the grasp of those greedy fellows," another among the crowd added, along with some others.He allowed them to finish talking. "How does that have anything to do with us? It's none of anyone's business, or you expect us to come to your aid because you're too weak to defend yourself," Elder Su snorted, his expression cold.Those who voice out their problem shut up, not daring to say anything again, and lower their heads in shame.Elder Su took a few steps forward and then halted.

They discussed it on their way back.Meanwhile, others were staring at Yin Deng from time to time with a confused look on their faces. This was the first time they saw his face and couldn't grasp who he was or where he was from."Who is that?""This is the first time that I am seeing his face.""Me too; I don't know him either. Maybe this is a fresher who recently joined the academy.""Fresher? No, I don't think so, because before coming down to the forest, there were only three in their team without him, but all of a sudden, when they came out, they became four."".....""True, meaning something is wrong somewhere, but no matter what, we are still going to get the full gist when we arrive back at the sect."Different people silently discussed with

    Finally out of the forest

    The disciples of the Glosom Sect Battalion quickly exited the forest and set up their tent outside of the forest, awaiting those who were yet to be out. Some of the students were terrified after the strange phenomenon that happened within the forest and hurriedly moved out of the forest. The various teachers had already received urgent messages to pay attention to the students from the sect leader, who was still deep in the forest, trying to find trace of the dark energy with Elder Su and Elder Yu that accompanied him. The teachers didn't know the reason for this urgent message but acted according to the instruction. At this moment, Lu Shang and his groups have successfully found their way out of the forest. "Finally, at last," Lu Shang said with a smile on his face as he took a deep breath in relief. "Don't you guys feel that the air here is better and fresher than the one within the forest?" he added, looking at the faces of those behind him, especially Lu Xun, who seemed to be t

How come?" He yelled out, questioning himself with a hint of confusion mixed within his voice.The others that were close to him, looked at him with confused expression, wondering what made in yell out in such manners."Lu Shang, what is the problem?" Lu Xun immediately asked with a worried look on her face, seeing the kind of expression on the face of Lu Shang.Lu Shang didn't reply to her but was focusing all his attention on his body. Lu Xun wasn't angry that Lu Shang didn't reply to her but rather she felt that Lu Shang was focused on himself.He checked within
