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
A boy could be seen inside a cave at night, sitting beside a fire lit by wood. He was roasting the fish he got. The boy seemed sad, though. He was staring into the flames and humming to himself. His eyes were closed. His lips moved as if he were singing softly.This boy was no other person than Yin Deng. He had been captured by his clan members, but he was able to escape with the help of his girlfriend, who risked her life for him. "Hope Father and Mother are safe!" He silently said to himself while still looking into the flames.His parents ran away from the clan before him; if his uncle was still alive, this wouldn't have happened. But sadly, his uncle died after being killed by an unknown assassin. This incident caused Yin Deng's family to run away from the clan.Yin Deng felt guilty towards his parents, who were the only ones who raised him from day one until now. But the deed was already done; all he needed to do now was get powerful enough that his enemies would be wary of him.
Information on how he can cultivate started to flow into his mind.Yin Deng was amazed by the power of the information.He stood up and felt a strong energy flowing through his body."Thank you, Creator!" "Thank you for the information," Yin Deng said to the Creator.He could feel his body shaking violently, as if it were being torn apart. His muscles started to contract so much that he couldn't even move.The information he received on how to cultivate was that he was going to absorb world essence, direct it into his martial core, and then allow the world essence to flow around his inner organ, making his body become stronger.At the same time, Yin Deng also felt a sense of burning throughout his entire body and a feeling that something was trying to get out from inside him. This feeling of being violated made Yin Deng want to throw up.Once again, Yin Deng threw up everything in his stomach. The information he had consumed was too rich.His body was covered with sweat, and he had st
Yin Deng took the book and opened the martial arts book. He read through the content of the "Golden Silver Body" martial art.The martial arts were divided into three kinds: physical strength cultivation, mental awareness cultivation, and spiritual essence cultivation. The first one was for those who wanted to cultivate their physical strength and body strength. They needed to make their bodies as hard as steel, while the second was for those who wanted to cultivate their mental awareness; by using their own minds, they could become stronger. This kind of martial art could be used to cultivate both the spirit and the soul, which would allow them to break through the limits of their body. The third kind of martial art cultivation was spiritual essence cultivation, which required people to cultivate a strong will so they could enhance the flow of their spiritual energy. The more powerful the spiritual energy they cultivated, the more effective the cultivation process would be.Each kind
Wang Lei kept trying to cut down the tree, but he couldn't. He didn't feel bad, so he continued to try.Seeing that Lu Shang and Lu Xun were able to chop a little portion of their own tree, this motivated him to keep trying. But the more he tried, the more it was all in vain.Time was slowly passing by. Two days later, he still kept on trying without resting. As he was trying to cut the tree, a light flashed in his eyes. As he looked up, he then smiled. He tried to cut the tree again, and this time he was able to do so. This made him very happy.Lu Shang was still cutting his own tree; he was almost done cutting down the tree, while Lu Xun's tree was still standing tall, but she had chopped some portions. Seeing how hard Lu Shang worked, Lu Xun felt ashamed for not working harder herself. She started to work more diligently from that moment on.After three days, Lu Shang managed to cut down his own tree, and after the fourth day, Lu Xun also succeeded in cutting hers.Lu Shang and Lu X
Once they reached the place where the door was, they stopped and looked around. There were three doors in front of them."You three have to choose your own door."They all turned and faced each other. "Choose our own door?""Yes. You guys have to pass through the trail yourself without anybody with you, so you have to depend on yourself from now on," the voice said."What are we supposed to do after that?" "What will happen to us?""That's up to you guys, but it is not a small task you need to accomplish. I'm sure you won't be able to proceed further if you don't choose your own path correctly."The voice didn't say anything else. The three of them stood there for a while, looking at their feet as though they would find an answer in the grass or something. But they still couldn't come up with any answers. They thought for some time more before finally deciding what they had to do."Okay, let's get started first." We'll start by choosing one of these doors... " Lu Shang said.He came cl
The next morning, he woke up and immediately started to look for wood to craft arrows. With a short knife, he was able to craft a lot of arrows before sun rise, so that they were dry when he went hunting with the bow.In this trial, the people in this world were weak, and the strongest cultivator in this world was in the spirit realm. He had a lot of experience in hunting, and he was sure that he could accomplish and pass this trial; it would only take time.He went deep into the forest to hunt for animals. It took him four days until he found an animal. On the first day, he was able to kill four class 1 magical beasts, and when he got home and showed his mother the animals he was able to hunt, her shock was beyond words."How did you kill such animals?" His mother asked."Well, I used my bow," he said while showing her the bow. "You are not even a novice cultivator yet; how could you kill such strong creatures?" "They are impossible to kill by normal means."She looked at him with d
Lu Shang was beginning to learn the taming martial arts, which was the "convince magical beasts," and had been trying to comprehend them for many days. Although he knew that this was a very difficult art, he still kept on practicing it. He could not help but feel as if his knowledge of taming magical beasts was lacking in some way, while the other martial arts seemed easy by comparison.' "Convince magical beasts" martial arts was a taming martial art that used magic to convince magical beasts to obey one's will. It was said that its real name was "Tame Magical Beasts with Magic." If one wants to tame a magical beast, he or she will need to understand the beast's nature, like what kind of beast they are, whether there is something that frightens them, such as a particular kind of music, or even whether they can be tricked into being obedient. A person who wants to tame magical beasts may also have to know how much power they have and what their weak points are. If one knows all thes
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
