"Your Highness, Prince Lui, is here," a guard said. This was the personal guard of the king."Allow him in."The guard bowed and turned back, walking away. Lui walked past the guards and directly into the throne hall after receiving the guard's word. "I greet your highness," prince Lui immediately greeted the king when he saw him sitting on the throne."Prince Lui, how are you going, and what about your father?" The King asked, looking at the young man with concern."I am well, your highness. My father is also doing great. He has been so busy; that is why he has not come to visit you all this time," Prince Lui said as he sat on one of the chairs before the throne.The king noticed that Lui looked different today compared to the last time they met. "Okay if you say so; if you go back, help me send my greetings." "So what made you come and visit my royal palace?" The king asked.Lui answered. "I came here to visit and see the princess," he said, smiling widely."Oh, really?" the kin
Prince Lui kept on looking at the two with a venomously gleeful expression. He was silent for a while before he spoke up, "Just because fighting is not permitted in the palace is what is giving you the confidence and mind to speak back at me.""And what can you do to me?" Lu Shang didn't hesitate to fire back.Lui looked at him coldly and said, "I could have my men beat you up!""Why don't you deal with him yourself instead of involving your guards in this?" Qian said in an icy tone.She knew that Lu Shang was stronger than Lui.Lui's eyes flashed angrily as he turned around to look at his guards standing behind him before he turned back to face them again and glared at Lu Shang. After several seconds of silence, he continued speaking, "If you dare to speak out against me again, I will make sure I deal with you...""Say by whom?"Before Prince Lui could even finish his words, Lu Shang had already cut him off.Lu Shang snickered again and said mockingly. "By you right. Just because you
The two of them came to an empty area where a gentle wind was blowing. They didn’t say anything. Regardless of Lu Shang or Princess Qian, both were still adapting to their current identities.Princess Qian hold on to the hand of Lu Shang tightly as if she was not going to let it go, the two could not believe that they fell in love with each other easily and so quickly even without knowing much about each other. Neither one had any thoughts on what would happen after this but just wanted to enjoy the moment. Qian rest her head on the shoulder of the man she loves while Lu Shang held her close to him like a small child who was afraid of the dark."I want us to be together forever," said Qian softly. "Only you."Lu Shang looked at his lover's face and saw that she was no longer smiling but crying instead. He gently wiped away her tears with his thumb."Don't cry, my lady."Qian smiled at him.The two were enjoying the cool breeze blowing and were also enjoying the beautiful scene around
The students of the Glosom Battallion Sect were still roaming around the forest, hunting for magical beasts and retrieving their monster cores. The hunt was very tiring but necessary for the sake of becoming the winners.It has been two months since they embarked on the journey of hunting for magical beasts. In a particular place in the forest, there is a group of students walking together. There were three boys and two girls.Soon they came face to face with a class 2 magical beast.This magical beast was called the "devouring creeper." It also had the ability to regenerate its body by absorbing nutrients from living beings. The appearance of this magical beast was terrifying; it has black skin with green veins on it, a large mouth filled with sharp teeth, and red eyes. It could change its size depending on its prey and always move towards the weakest point of its opponents."Look at the size of that thing!" exclaimed one girl while pointing at the monster."It's not that scary, rig
Only Lui Fang and Zi Yu have acted against the magical beast; what if the rest acted against it?Zhang, Bei Qing, and Wang Yu stood at the side looking at the magical beast.The magical beast stood still, looking at the group with thread in his eyes. With only that brief exchange of attacks, it became clear that the group of people was strong."You!" Zhang said to those who were beside him. "Come here quickly."They went closer to the magical beast. The group of people surrounded the magical beast.The magical beast growled; a long, low howl was heard."Let's act quickly against this magical beast; it's trying to communicate with the other magical beasts in the forest!" Zi Yu shouted at them.Immediately after, he put his hand on the hilt of his sword and rushed towards the magical beast.His body became like a blur as he charged towards the magical beast.The others followed him. Zhang and Bei Qing attacked together. Wang Yu also joined their charge.Lui Fang couldn't hold himself b
Yin Deng could be seen deeply absorbed in his cultivation with the bird at his side. Weird things were happening to his body, and the more he cultivated, the harder and stronger he felt his inner organs were getting.Yin Deng has wasted no time since learning how to cultivate, and all he wants right now is to get stronger so that the Yin Clan will have to pay back tenfold for the bad things they did to him and his parents. Regardless of who killed his uncle, he will continue to exact revenge and look into the incident.Some minutes later, he opened his eyes and smiled to himself. He was currently at the 2nd stage of the body enhancer realm, and he never thought that he would be able to cultivate it in his lifetime. Now that he can, he strives to become stronger. He decided to leave this dimension for the real world, and soon he started walking in a particular direction. The bird also flew silently behind him. He turned back and faced the bird. "Do you want to be following me around
Yin Deng looked back and saw that the guards were still after him.He saw many strange and ancient writings on the wall of the cave, but he didn't understand what they meant. This was his first time entering the cave and seeing the ancient words. This was the same thing that Lu Shang, Wang Lei, and Lu Xun experienced when they entered the cave."This cave must have been an ancient one," he said to himself without stopping to run; he kept on going deep into the cave.He was deep into the cave, and he saw a strange stone in front of him. It was a stone tablet that had been lying there for ages. It seemed to be made of bronze. There were some strange symbols engraved on the tablet.There was no longer any place to run to in the cave; this was the end of the cave.He was carefully looking at the stone tablet.Suddenly a figure appeared before him; it was a man with a long white beard, and he wore a golden robe. Yin Deng was surprised to see someone in front of him.The figure stood in fr
One of the guards yelled out in a terrible voice, and as the other guards turned to look at the shouting guard, they saw the guard on the ground lifeless.They were shocked beyond words. "What happened to the lifeless guard?" This was what was on the minds of the guards.Nobody knew what happened or what killed the guard.Fear could now be seen in the eyes of all the guards, and out of fear, they all took out their various weapons. Some of the guards weapons were swords; some were spears and sabers.Silently, a figure appeared in front of all the guards. This was the figure of Huo Yuanjia that appeared to Yin Deng."What are you all doing in this cave?" Huo Yuanjia spoke calmly, as if he was talking to kids.The guards were all terrified when they saw the figure in front of them."We were chasing after a young boy; please does senior know where he disappeared to." The captain of the guards spoke with a shaking voice."Yes, and why are you chasing after him, for what reason?" Huo Yuanj
Soon, the sky was filled with dark thunderclouds, and strange energy surged in the middle of them.Everyone looked up, drawn by the sight."What’s going on?""Look at the sky! Those lightning strikes are terrifying. I’m scared I’d die if even a little spark hits me.""Is that scary event from a few days ago about to happen again?""......""......."Panic spread as people watched the chaos, especially among weaker cultivators who felt afraid.Thunder and lightning flashed across the sky, their loud roars creating a sense of dread.In different clans and sects, powerful experts stopped their training, opening their eyes to the sky with worried expressions."It can’t be," said the grandmaster of the Chilling Wind Clan, fear in his voice. "This energy is different and much stronger than what we felt days ago." He tried to look deeper into the sky but was hit by a wave of lightning that nearly killed him....In the palace, the king stood on the roof of the tallest building, staring at the
The eyes of everyone were fixed on Lu Shang, and their expressions revealed a mixture of curiosity and seriousness.Lu Shang seemed unfazed by the attention, continuing in a calm tone. "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. "You want to submit a class 2 monster core?" he confirmed again, shock evident in his voice.Lu Shang's friends watched from t
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. "I never knew it was y
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
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. "Why do you think you were
All the students quickly brought down their tents and placed them in their space belts.The students began their journey back to the sect.Lu Shang, Lu Xun, Wang Lei, and Yin Deng walked side by side without leaving each other for a minute. 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
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
Lu Shang was able to stable the injuries on him but he noticed something was wrong with his body.He released his aura from his body and a powerful aura began to surge in the air making Wang Lei, Lu Xun, Yin Deng, and the identical triplet feel an uneasy pressure pressing down on their body but were able to control their body from the damage of it.Suddenly, Lu Shang jumped back in fright, looking dumbly at his body."What!! 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
