Lu Shang wanted to finish this all fast and then leave this trial for the next one. He doesn't know what is happening outside the trial, if the competition is still going on or has already finished.Lu Shang walked through the gate without any guards blocking his path, and since luck wasn't on his side today in the forest, he decided to waste no more time and come back to the palace.The cute little magical beast was on the shoulder of Lu Shang.He walked directly into the throne room of the palace, coming face to face with the king."Good day, my king," Lu Shang says, bowing slightly as he greets the king with respect."Good day, how are you doing?" The king asked with a smile on his face, looking directly at Lu Shang."I'm fine. How is your health, sir?" Lu Shang replied and questioned."My health is good." The king replied with a slight nod of his head."You are already back," someone said from behind him.He turned back and saw Princess Qian smiling at him as she walked towards h
Yin Deng was cultivating his "Golden Silver Body" technique without taking a break, even when he was tired. With each passing time, his body and inner organs were becoming stronger. If he comprehends a little, he will dive into the water and then try to use his body to pass; this will make the energy current hit his body hard. The more he tried this, the more he felt that his body was strengthening and hardening; his body was silently getting used to the energy current; the pain he felt was not like before when he entered the water and tried to pass through it for the first time on his attempt. Yin Deng was happy and satisfied with his progress. Before he couldn't cultivate, he had never dreamed of cultivating; talk more about saying he would one day cultivate and strengthen his body. As time went on, it was as if all his sinew, meridians, bones, and muscles were shuddering at the same moment. "Right, this is the sensation. My body is speedily getting stronger and harder. This
Yin Deng looked confused as his eyes roamed around the place; he didn't know what he had to do to pass through this trial.In the midst of his confusion, he heard a voice. "I know you are confused, not knowing what to do in this trial. I will tell you how to pass through this level, but first you will need to cultivate for a short while." The voice saidHearing the instruction from the voice, he immediately sat down and began to cultivate with his eyes closed. Absorbing the world essence into his body, he felt that the world essence here was different, as if there were another type of energy mixed with the world essence energy. He cultivated for a short time before stopping his cultivation. He felt his body had become much more flexible and agile.When he was done, the voice began telling him what to do to pass the trial."You will need to go to cut down two different types of fruit trees; you can choose which type of tree you will use to pass the trial.""That's a lot easier, just c
Lu Xun and Wang Lei were waiting patiently for Lu Shang to continue their trials. It's not that they can't continue the trial by themselves, but they were waiting for Lu Shang in order for them to enter the trial together. Meanwhile, in the trial of Lu Shang, the Keban kingdom was on alert for any sign of danger. Chen, the knight leader of the Yuan kingdom, had successfully sneaked into the Keban kingdom without getting caught by the guards of the Keban kingdom.Lu Shang and Princess Qian were together at the exit of the palace; they were going on a tour around the kingdom. A flying magical beast flew by and arrived in front of the two. They climbed into the back of the magical beast, which was able to carry them because it was so huge.They could feel the wind rushing past them as they soared through the sky. "This magical beast is incredible," Princess Qian commented, admiring the sight below them."It's called a Sky Monarch," Lu Shang explained. "They are known for their speed a
A young boy and a girl on the back of a white bear magical beast were seen in the forest and going deeper into the forest.The young boy was taking and showing the girl around the forest; this was the first time the girl had actually taken a good view of the forest. The first time she tried to take a clear view of the forest, she was attacked by a group of flying magical beasts, which made her personal guards, who were protecting and looking after her, rush down to her to keep her safe from the magical beasts, resulting in the guards sustaining serious injuries. She was fortunate that Lu Shang was there in the forest to help her. That day Lu Shang saved her, she had developed a slight fondness for him, and when she tried to talk and thank him for saving her, Lu Shang was cold to her. She was sad; she told her father about it, but she never expected that her father would summon him to the palace. She was surprised when she saw him in the palace, and that same day they got together and
The sun was setting and the moon was up; the night was dark and the stars shone brightly.The two of them stared at the sky, and they talked about their past experiences and future plans. The stars lights were shining brightly on their bodies. Lu Shang and Qian hold onto their hands. Lu Shang was not scared that they would sneakily attack because he had already stationed magical beasts in different places, and they would alert him in case there was incoming danger.in the royal palace of the Keban kingdom. The king, queen, and Lu Shang's mother were sitting together in the dining hall, eating together and discussing matters regarding the kingdom."I wonder where those two are right now," the king said to the two women without stopping eating the delicious and enormous food on the table. "Those two are currently out for a tour around the kingdom," the queen answered with her mouth full of rice while she was also chewing the meat."I hope they are safe wherever they are because I hav
Chen finally walked out of the back of the tree, coming face-to-face with Lu Shang and Princess Qian. Qian was shocked to see that they really were not the only people here; there was another person. She couldn't believe it; how did Lu Shang know that there was another person there beside them? She asked herself in her thoughts. She drew close to Lu Shang and held onto his hand tightly. She was scared; what if the man was here to harm them? But with Lu Shang here with her, she feels at ease. Because she knew that killing Lu Shang would be difficult, there was no need to be that scared. "So, who sent you?" Lu Shang suddenly asked, facing Chen. "What do you mean?" Chen seemed ignorant of the question, as if he didn't know what Lu Shang was talking about.Lu Shang didn't bother replying to him but was looking back at the stranger in front of them.Princess Qian watched the man curiously but was shocked again when he lifted his bow and drew an arrow towards their heads."I'm here to t
Lu Shang was finding it difficult to fight against Chen; most of the magical beasts of Lu Shang had been killed and were on the ground, lifeless."You have no idea how much pain I was in when I heard the things you guys did to my father!" shouted Lu Shang in rage as he flew towards Chen. Lu Shang was skillfully swinging his sword at Chen, who swiftly dodged them with ease. The battle between them now seemed like a fight between two experts. Lu Shang's stance was good, while Chen's was also solid, but Lu Shang had more speed.As they continued their duel, Lu Shang quickly noticed that he couldn't win this fight. He was losing every time he attacked Chen. He knew that if he were to continue fighting Chen, he would soon be defeated and would eventually give him an opportunity to strike at him and kill him. So he decided to change strategy.He moved backward away from Chen, leaving a big space between them. Lu Shang kept his sword, then withdrew the bow that was in his back and let fly
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
