In a place, somewhere within the Qingzhou continent Yin Family Clan Residence Today was a very bad day for Yin Deng because his uncle died at the hands of the assassins sent by his enemy to kill him, and the assassins succeeded in their mission. Yin Deng had no clue who this enemy was, but he suspected that it was someone from his clan. His uncle had been careless and hadn't paid enough attention to his surroundings when he went out; as a result, he became the target of an assassination attempt. This made him understand how important vigilance is in life. Yin Deng's uncle, named Yin Chengfeng, was the most influential person in the clan; not only did he have a high position in the clan, he was also the clan master. His influence extended to every corner of the country, and he was feared and respected by everyone. Though the country where Yin Deng lived was a small one and not that powerful compared to the other big ones, Yin Deng was a fifteen-year-old boy who was given birth into
"I am expecting you two at the dining hall."Zhao Xue said, then walked away with a complicated expression on her face.Yin Deng and Xiangling then started walking toward the dining hall. All the guards and maids that walked past Yin Deng didn't respect him by greeting him as a sign of respect. When the clan master was alive, the guards and maids would always bow and greet him because they knew that the clan master would not tolerate anyone maltreating or disrespecting Yin Deng."What is happening to all these guards and maids?" Yin Deng thought to himself when he noticed the attitude of the guards and maids but he didn't mind, he continued to walk to the dinning hall.As Yin Deng and Xiangling got to the dining hall. Even the maid in the dining room didn't show any greeting or respect for Yin Deng. The maids treated him as if he were a commoner, and they continued arranging and serving the food on the table."Why are these people treating me like this?" Yin Deng thought in his head.Y
Yin Deng could be seen in his room, thinking about something with an expression on his face; it was obvious that he was still grieving about the death of his uncle. He clenched his hand and made up his mind that he would get revenge and get to the root of the death of his uncle, no matter what. "Is it really true that I can cultivate because my uncle said that I am special and unique?" Yin Deng questioned himself with confused emotion on his face. "With time, I will know if I can really cultivate, as Uncle Chen usually tells me," he said without bothering himself anymore. He slept off after some time. ....... In a secret hall in the Yin clan, all the elders were present; even Yin Deng's father and mother were here as well. "How are we sure that the clan master is dead because we didn't even see the corpse of the clan master? We were only told that the clan master was killed by some assassin?" An elder with white hair spoke with a strange emotion on his face as he talked to every
Three people could be seen sitting down under a tree cultivating which was near a river. The three people were a young girl and two boys. The three were wearing the Glosom sect battalion uniform. These people were Lu Shang, Lu Xun, and Wang Lei. They were cultivating to gain back their lost strength from the fight with the class 2 magical beast giant and his subordinates. After they had defeated the giant magical beast of class 2, they decided to cultivate and gain back their strength. Lu Shang didn't want them to go anywhere far away to avoid being discovered by any magical beast, and that will be extremely dangerous while they have no strength. That is why they decided to regain their strength before embarking on their way back to hunting magical beasts. Then, after they had cultivated for about half an hour, Lu Shang, who was sitting in the middle, said, "We are going to enter a state of "heightened awareness." This is our last chance. Once we leave here, we'll never get another
"We need to kill it as soon as possible and get out of here," Lu Shang said, sounding worried."I will try to hit it from behind and take it down," Lu Shang said, taking a step forward and preparing himself to go behind the magical beast.As he did that, he suddenly felt that the creature was moving fast.The golden lion-like creature jumped at Lu Shang in the blink of an eye, causing Lu Shang to lose his balance and fall backwards.Lu Shang had lost his footing because of the tremendous power of the magical beast's jump.Wang Lei and Lu Xun immediately moved towards the creature, ready to attack.But when they saw the creature, they couldn't help but be amazed by its size and presence.The magical beast's body was bigger than a human's.Lu Xun raised her axe and shouted, "We are going to kill you no matter what!""You won't last long if you try to fight against it with your axe in a hurry manner ," Wang Lei said."Let me show you how it's done," Lu Xun replied, swinging her axe madly.
"That's all we have to know on how to kill a magical beast with bloodline," Lu Shang said after reading the page when the content was written down. There were still some pages left, but he didn't need them anymore. He only needed the information in the description of how to kill a magical beast with bloodlines. "We already know the bloodline of this magical beast, and its nature is like the nature of a dragon." Lu Shang nodded, saying, "So the best way to kill one is to continue attacking the magical beast until it runs out of energy to fight back." Lu Xun and Wang Lei, who were fighting the class 2 magical beast, agreed with his thought, as they had already known the characteristics of the magical beasts. When the group attacked the magical beast continuously for several times, it definitely fell into an exhaustion stage where its strength was drastically reduced. Lu Shang kept the book in his space belt before bringing out his sword again. "How are you going to attack now?" as
Finally, the magical beast was killed. The class 2 magical beast was difficult to kill despite the efforts of Lu Shang, Lu Xun, and Wang Lei, until the identical triplet brothers came to help them. The six worked together and launched their attack at the same time. They used the sword, spear, and other martial skills one after another. When they attacked with different styles, it was like attacking the beast from three sides, so the magical beast was forced to defend itself from attacks from many directions. It was very difficult for the magical beast to face such a sudden onslaught. After the magical beast had suffered multiple injuries and wounds on its body, it finally died. "Thank you, senior Dong Yi, for your help," Lu Shang said respectfully to the man who saved him and his friends. Dong Yi replied, "Your group is really powerful. If you guys are not also supporting us from behind, my brother and I will not be able to kill the magical beast easily. Lu Xun said, "I am sure if w
Yin Deng could be seen in his room. His door is closed, and he's standing near the window. It's a long, rectangular room with a big attached bed at the side. The walls and floor all have dark brown paneling, and the windows are made of thick glass panes. There are no curtains to block out the light from outside. The lights inside dimly glow as if it were already late at night, but only the one near Yin Deng's bed remains lit up. And this must mean that the other two lamps have been switched off already. He seems to be staring intently into space. He looks like he might have just woken up. "Now that Yin Yang's father has become the clan master, there is no doubt that Yin Yang will trouble me," Yin Deng said to himself. At this moment, a noise suddenly came from the other side of the wall. Someone was knocking on the door. "Who is there?" Yin Deng asked coldly. There was a silence for a while before a voice answered him. "It's me." "What do you want?" Yin Deng replied with irrita
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
