Chapter: Chapter thirty: The Rift Experiment Unleashed
The Elite Rift Experiment descended like a storm incarnate, blackened crystal armor glinting in the fractured sunlight, its body thrumming with raw Rift energy. Every step it took warped the cobblestones beneath it, sending tremors through the ruined city streets. Kael tightened his grip on the Aether Shield, feeling its consciousness stir, aware, alive, and hungry for action. [Quest Updated: Defeat Elite Rift Experiment — Survival Critical] [System Alert: Rift Merge Level — 100% — Possession Risk MAX] [Level Up Available: Kael Ardent — Shield Wielder] The creature roared, energy crackling from its jagged crystal spikes. Its first strike came fast—a swinging arm of unstable Rift force that could crush a building. Kael braced, raising Adaptive Barrier — Overdrive. The shield absorbed the impact, sending shockwaves rippling through the surrounding battlefield.

Chapter: Chapter twenty-nine: The Crown Strikes Back
Dawn broke over the fractured city, but light brought no comfort. Smoke curled from shattered streets, and the air was thick with the metallic scent of blood and Rift energy. Kael and Lyria crouched behind a toppled statue of the old city hall, scanning the horizon. From the mist, banners bearing the royal crest appeared. Elite Crown forces marched forward, their armor gleaming, weapons humming with Rift-imbued energy. At their forefront strode the first wave of Rift Paladins, each a fusion of man and experimental Rift energy. Kael’s system flickered awake. [Quest Updated: Defend Against Crown Retaliation — High Priority] [System Alert: Enemy Elite Units Detected — Rift-Powered] [Level Up Available: Kael Ardent — Shield Wielder] He flexed his fingers against the Aether Shield, feeling the energy pulse stronger than ever.

Chapter: Chapter twenty-eight: The Riftstorm Unleashed
The city groaned under the weight of the Riftstorm. Green-and-purple energy crackled through the sky, tearing at rooftops, twisting streets, and hurling debris into the wind. Kael stood atop a fractured overpass, the Aether Shield strapped to his arm. Each pulse of the Shield thrummed in tune with the storm, resonating like a heartbeat against the chaos. [Quest Updated: Execute City-Wide Counterstrike — In Progress] [System Alert: Riftstorm Energy — Maximum Intensity in Strategic Zones] [Level Up Available: Kael Ardent — Shield Wielder] Kael felt the Shield absorbing the ambient Rift energy. His vision flickered as his system interface displayed crucial updates: [Name: Kael Ardent] [Weapon: Aether Shield — Legendary] [Attack: 5] [Defense: 40] [Skills: Riftwave, Adaptive Barrier, Rift Resonance Link, Riftstorm Manipulation — 50%] [Rift Merge Status: 97% — Critical Threshold Approaching] Below, Crown forces surged forward, marching blindly into the chaos of distorted streets.

Chapter: Chapter twenty-seven: The Calm Before the Riftstorm
Dawn broke over Elarion City, but the light was dim, filtered through a haze of Rift energy spiraling in the sky. The Riftstorm had expanded overnight, creeping into streets and alleys like a living entity, twisting the architecture, making familiar buildings feel alien. Civilians moved cautiously, their eyes wide with unease as errant Rift energy caused flickers in the air, briefly warping reality. Kael Ardent stood atop a collapsed overpass, the Shield strapped tightly to his forearm. Its surface glowed faintly, alive with residual energy from the Reclaimer fight. Lyria approached, scanning the city with a pair of binoculars. The streets below were a chessboard of danger—Crown patrols, opportunistic mercenaries, and unpredictable Rift distortions.

Chapter: Chapter twenty-six: The Rift Reclaime
The warehouse trembled as Kael and Lyria sprinted through the twisting corridors, the echoes of collapsing metal and shattering glass chasing them like predators. The Crown’s operatives were regrouping, their shouts distant but relentless. Behind them, the Rift Labs pulsed with unstable energy, as if the building itself had become alive with malicious intent. [Quest Updated: Escape Rift Labs — Priority Critical] [System Alert: Enemy Reinforcements — Elite Rift Experiment Deployed] [Level Up Available: Kael Ardent — Shield Wielder] Kael’s shield vibrated with anticipation, its pulsing light mapping the safest path. The adaptive interface highlighted collapsing floors, energy conduits leaking volatile Rift essence, and hidden traps designed to contain both him and Lyria. [Skill Activated: Rift Sense — Hazard Navigation] [Effect: Identify safe path, predict trap activation] [Experience Gained: 60] Lyria vaulted over a broken beam, her daggers slicing through an energy web that wo

Chapter: Chapter twenty-five: Shadows of the Rift Labs”
The air was thick with smoke and the scent of burnt timber as Kael and Lyria advanced along the fractured roads of Erenthia. The Crown’s forces had retreated, leaving behind a trail of scorched earth, shattered armor, and wounded soldiers. Yet the silence felt heavier than the chaos—the calm before an even greater storm. Kael adjusted the Aether Shield on his arm, its pulsing glow synchronizing with his heartbeat. The interface flickered into view: [Quest Updated: Track Crown Forces — Investigate Rift Labs] [System Alert: Enemy Retreat Traced — High Priority] [Level Up Available: Kael Ardent — Shield Wielder] Lyria scanned the horizon through her binoculars, frowning. “They’re moving east, toward the abandoned industrial district. If the Crown has Rift labs there, it’s exactly where they want to hide evidence of their experiments.” Kael’s shield hummed softly, almost as if confirming the intuition. The interface provided a breakdown of the surrounding terrain: [Map Updated: Eas

Among them a boy with sharp eyes and untamed hair, no older than sixteen.
Lin Dong.
Whispers rise around him.
“The failure of the Lin family…”
“His father lost everything to Lin Langtian.”
But Lin Dong says nothing. His jaw tightens, his fists curl.
“I’ll make them remember my name.”
The gong strikes.
The test begins.
One by one, disciples unleash their Yuan Power, glowing faintly with light.
When Lin Dong steps forward silence. He places his palm on the stone pillar. Nothing. No glow. No tremor. Just cold stone.
Laughter ripples through the crowd.
Lin Langtian, his older cousin, smirks from afar already a martial prodigy, already chosen by the clan elders.
But Lin Dong’s eyes don’t lower.
There’s something burning behind them something feral.
That night, he runs into the mountains, fists bleeding, shouting into the dark.
“If the heavens won’t give me power, I’ll take it myself!”
Lightning flashes and the earth trembles.
From beneath the ancient roots, a strange stone talisman rises glowing with ancient runes. The air hums, trees bow, and the mountain itself seems to breathe.
Lin Dong stares at it, breathless.
The talisman pulses once… twice… then melts into his palm.
His eyes widen his veins blaze with golden light.
And somewhere, deep within the realm of spirits…
something wakes up.
“Finally… someone worthy.”

Chapter: Chapter thirty-five: The BloodWood Grove
The Wilderlands stretched endlessly before Lin Dong — a scarred expanse of wild growth, desolation, and mist. The air was thick with ancient energy, heavy enough to make the lungs ache. He had been walking for hours, following the faint pull of the Spirit Talisman, the heirloom his father had left him. Its faint glow led him onward through cracked stone and whispering grass until the land itself seemed to bleed into shadow. Before him loomed the Bloodwood Grove — a forest not touched by time, but fed by it. The trees rose like titans, their bark deep crimson as if they had drunk centuries of blood. The canopy hung low and oppressive, veiling the stars. A faint red mist coiled between the roots, luminous and alive. Every breath Lin Dong drew carried a taste of iron, decay, and something older — something divine that had gone wrong. He paused at the treeline. Even the wind seemed to hesitate there. “So this is where it begins…” he murmured. For days now, he had been chasing whisper

Chapter: Chapter thirty-four: The Cloaked Challenge
The forest air was still — unnaturally still. Even the wind seemed to hold its breath. Lin Dong’s pulse thudded in his ears as the cloaked figure stepped into the clearing. The man’s robes were tattered but bore faint traces of an old sect insignia, long faded and half-burned away. His aura was heavy — not wild like a beast’s, but sharp, deliberate, honed from years of fighting and surviving without rules. Li Yan’s bow creaked softly as she drew it back. “That’s no mere wanderer,” she whispered. “His energy… it’s unstable. He’s a fallen cultivator.” The man tilted his head, his voice deep and cold. “Dao Sect disciples in the Wilderlands?” he asked with a mocking grin. “You’re far from your master’s protection, boy. Hand over your Spirit Seal and I might let you crawl away.” Lin Dong’s expression hardened. “You talk too much.” The rogue chuckled, then vanished. A blur of motion sliced through the clearing. Lin Dong barely twisted aside as a curved blade slashed the air where he’d

Chapter: Chapter thirty-three: Beyond the Mountains
The morning sun cut through the mist that hung over the Dao Sect like a veil of silver. Lin Dong stood atop a ridge, gazing down at the sprawling forests and jagged cliffs that stretched beyond the mountains. The Dao Sect lay behind him, silent and majestic, its towers glinting in the light. Ahead, the world awaited — untamed, wild, and dangerous. Li Yan walked beside him, her eyes scanning the horizon. “Beyond these mountains,” she said softly, “lies the Wilderlands. Beasts, bandits, and rogue cultivators roam freely. Even someone of your skill must remain vigilant.” Lin Dong tightened his grip on the jade blade, golden light of the Spirit Seal pulsing faintly against his chest. “I’ve grown stronger,” he said quietly. “The Seal, the trials… they’ve prepared me. But I know the path ahead will be harder. I have to keep rising… or I won’t survive.” The first stretch of the Wilderlands was deceptive. Lush greenery covered the hills, the sound of distant waterfalls and birdsong masking

Chapter: Chapter thirty-two: The Sect’s Hidden Trial
The Dao Sect courtyard had quieted after the Martial Assessment. Students returned to their practice, the echoes of strikes and energy dissipating into the mountains. Yet Lin Dong felt an unease in the air, a subtle pulse that tugged at his senses. Master Ling Xuan approached, his expression inscrutable. “You have passed the assessment,” he said. “But there is one final trial — hidden from ordinary disciples. Only those who demonstrate potential to rise above the rest are granted this challenge.” Lin Dong’s chest tightened. He had survived the Stone Circle, the Trial of the Elements, and the Martial Assessment… but Master Ling Xuan’s words carried weight. “What must I do?” he asked. “Follow me,” the Master said. They walked through a narrow corridor that descended into the depths of the Dao Sect. The air grew cooler, damp, and charged with faint energy. Torches flickered along the walls, casting long shadows that danced like spirits. Lin Dong felt the Seal respond, golden light pu

Chapter: Chapter thirty-one: The Dao’s Sect Martial Assessment
The sun hung high above the Dao Sect courtyard, casting long shadows across polished stone and glistening ponds. The atmosphere vibrated with anticipation, as dozens of disciples gathered, eyes sharp and bodies tense. Today was the Martial Assessment — a test of combat skill, agility, and tactical acumen. For Lin Dong, it was not merely a trial; it was a stage to measure how far he had risen from the weak boy who once stumbled through Yan City. Master Ling Xuan’s gaze swept across the courtyard. “Today, you will spar not with beasts, but with equals,” he announced. “The trials you’ve completed have shown mastery of the Seal and the elements. Now, we will see how you apply them in combat.” Disciples stepped forward, their stances radiating energy. Some wielded swords with lightning speed, others channeled elemental forces through their fists. Every motion shimmered with cultivated energy, precise and fluid. Lin Dong’s chest pulsed with the golden light of the Spirit Seal, his hands g

Chapter: Chapter thirty: Trial of the Elements
Beyond the Stone Circle of Balance, a wide arena opened, carved into the mountainside, surrounded by jagged cliffs and swirling mists. At its center floated nine elemental pillars, each radiating raw energy: fire that seared the eyes, water that churned with an unnatural depth, wind that tore at the ground, earth that shifted beneath one’s feet, and more — a full spectrum of elemental forces that seemed alive.Master Ling Xuan’s voice carried across the arena:“The Trial of the Elements will test your adaptability, speed, and control. Each pillar will unleash its power against you. One misstep, one hesitation… and you will be expelled from the Dao Sect.”Lin Dong stepped forward, jade blade in hand. His chest pulsed with the Spirit Seal, golden light coiling across his skin like liquid fire. He had survived Yan City, the mountain beast, and the Stone Circle. But this — this was different. Each pillar radiated energies beyond anything he had felt. The air around him shimmered with dang
