Inside the royal palace of the Keban kingdom

Princess Qian could not help but feel a little anxious as she walked down the hallway to meet her father in his throne room.

She had been summoned earlier by one of the guards, and after leaving the room with her maids, they were brought back to her chambers again for some time before being sent to the grand throne hall, where she was now waiting. She couldn't help but wonder what it meant that her father would summon her here at such an early hour. It made no sense for him to call on her at this early hour unless he wanted to tell her something important.

"What are you thinking?"

Qian jumped at the sudden voice behind her. Turning around, she found herself face-to-face with her maids, who seemed even more concerned than she was.

"Nothing," she replied. "I'm just nervous."

All three of them nodded their heads in agreement.

One of the maids asked, "Are you sure?" "You've never shown signs of anxiety like this before."

    Qian stayed there for a very long time before walking out of her room in the direction of the garden.She walked past the guards and was greeted by them, who bowed their heads to her respectfully as she passed them. She then took a deep breath outside the garden entrance. Her heart felt heavy at that moment, but only for a few seconds, because when she looked up, all she saw were flowers blooming under the sun's bright light.The wind blew against her face gently while the birds sang joyfully in the trees beside her. It was like a scene from a movie where everything seemed perfect despite anything else going on around her.She walked slowly towards the edge of the garden until she reached its far end. There was a small table with three chairs placed neatly just next to it. The grass was green and freshly cut. She sat down in one of the chairs and stared blankly at the horizon.It was morning, so the scene in the garden was peaceful and quiet.After a while, she stood up before walking

She could see the trees and also cave as the magical beast got close to the forest.The magical beast was now flying through the forest; she could see magical beasts below, which were looking at her with deadly eyes. She smiled, but at the same time was afraid, imagining the scene of the magical beasts acting against someone and killing them, devouring the person's flesh."No wonder this forest is dangerous; there are magical beasts that could threaten one's life." Qian said while looking down from the sky.Her personal guards were silently following behind her."What is the princess thinking about, flying through the forest all alone?" One of her bodyguards asked in a voice full of fear."I don't know, maybe she wants to take a look around the kingdom," the other guard answered back."Well, let's just hope that she doesn't get hurt; when we get back, I will explain

    A young boy appeared in the vision of Qian and the magical beasts there.The leader of the magical beast was looking at the boy with furious and blood-reddened eyes; it was as if it wanted to tear the young boy into a hundred pieces. The other magical beasts were also filled with rage and hatred towards the human race. They all had a kind of murderous intent towards humans. The magic beasts were becoming increasingly violent and aggressive towards humans. This was because they could sense that the magical beasts were slowly being pushed out of their own lands by the humans. The magical beasts were now sensing an ominous aura coming from the humans. The young boy stood there without any emotions on his face, and there was a magical beast that obediently stood by his side.All the magical beasts' eyes were all fixed on him; even the two personal guards of Qian looked at him with respect and gratitude for saving them at the right time; if not, they would have been devoured and cease to

"It was as successful as I had hoped."His mother smiled and hugged her son tightly.She knew what this meant to him, so she didn't mind being showered in tears."You have to rest because I can see you are tired," she said, looking up at her son.Lu Shang nodded and went inside.

    "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.

    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

    Upcoming threat

    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
