By the fourth hour, only seven remained: Arvid, Briana, Lena, Rina, Kenzo, Tony, and Jax. Their bodies trembled violently, but their resolve was unyielding.What was once calm, healing pools are now churned with wild energy. The waters dance like miniature storms, stirred by the fierce surge of Qi within them.Then, as the fifth hour struck, a series of muffled booms echoed—one after another—from within each of the seven. It wasn't a sound born of the world outside, but from deep within. Their Qi had broken through to a new level.That surge of overwhelming energy caused the pools to erupt in turbulence, sending waves crashing against the edges. The air around them grew heavier and denser, with a raw aura of power so intense it could almost be felt on the skin.“Enough,” Darian's voice rang out, low but commanding, echoing through the training ground. His eyes swept over the seven who still stood. There was pride in his gaze—quiet, profound pride.One by one, they stepped out of the p

They must shed their shame and clothes to achieve a power beyond imagination. But can their spirits remain unbroken when pain takes over their bodies?"✨✨✨At the basecamp, the members of the Shadow Corps worked tirelessly, hammering and building the healing pools just as they had been instructed. The sound of tools striking stone echoed across the crisp mountain air.Everyone moved purposefully, knowing this was more than just a task—a chance to prove themselves.Amid the commotion, Rina approached Arvid, her eyes reflecting excitement and doubt. "Will this work? I've never even heard of healing pools before," she said, her voice barely louder than the wind.Arvid gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder, his smile warm. "Trust Darian," he said simply. "He never does anything without a reason. If he says this will help, then believe it—it will. All we need to do is give it everything we've got and keep our spirits high."Rina nodded firmly, the spark of determination reigniting i

"What Happens When Warriors Are Pushed Beyond Their Limits? The Fire Dragon Technique Will Change Everything."✨✨✨Darian nodded slowly, his mind racing with possibilities. "How long will this process take?""If we start now, I estimate it will take about five to seven days to identify suitable candidates," Kai replied, calm but purposeful."After that, they’ll need intensive training using a combination of Dantian Essence Pills and basic elemental fire control techniques. Within two weeks, they should be able to wield fire in destructive forms and more subtle ways—like heat waves capable of incapacitating opponents without killing them."A faint smile tugged at the corners of Darian’s lips, his eyes gleaming with quiet excitement. "This could be the turning point in our strategy. If we can train even a handful of soldiers to master the Fire Dragon Technique, we’ll have a significant advantage over our enemies.""Indeed, Master Darian," Kai added, his tone thoughtful. "But remember, t

"Fire Dragon Technique: The Stolen Secret That Could Turn the Tide of War"A dangerous heist. A forbidden technique. And one woman’s ultimate sacrifice—this is how legends are forged.✨✨✨“But how can they get the support of the Kardhana Sect? That sect has always pretended to keep its distance from the modern world...” He paused momentarily, then his voice became a murmur full of understanding and anger.“Or maybe... that's their true face. The Kardhana Sect isn't just a secretive sect- they're a black cabal. They hide their ambitions behind the cloak of tradition, but in reality... they thirst for power, and now they have found the perfect vessel: The Emperor.”Lena smiled broadly. “And as it turns out, the Emperor isn't just anybody. He has a close relationship with one of the Kardhana Elders, an old man named Zhan. It is said that he was the Emperor's spiritual mentor since his youth. It is this relationship that allows them to work together.”Arvid let out a long breath, his fac

A secret meeting occurred several kilometers away in an upscale nightclub named Shadow Crown. The club was one of the primary sources of income for the Metropolis Imperium. In this haven, high-ranking officials, wealthy business people, and even celebrities gathered to gamble and indulge, all under the protection of the Emperor himself.In the VIP room, Marcus, one of the Emperor’s field commanders, sat across from Lena, a young woman with fiery red hair and a smile that never quite reached her eyes. Lena was a spy, and her loyalty was always up for sale to the highest bidder.“So, what news do you have about the Shadow Troops?” Marcus asked, his voice calm but laced with tension as he sipped from a crystal glass filled with amber liquid.Lena’s lips curled into a cunning grin. “They’re being trained at a secret base deep in the mountains. But I don’t yet know the exact location. I can tell you that they’re almost ready to move.”Marcus narrowed his eyes, his grip tightening around th

Mid Stage: Qi RefinementOnce Qi has been gathered, the next crucial step is refining it. At this stage, the raw energy collected within the body is purified and condensed, becoming sharper, denser, and far more powerful. Practitioners who reach this level can begin channeling their Qi to strengthen their physical form, move with unnatural speed, and even unleash basic Qi-based attacks—like fireballs or shockwaves.You, Lord Darian, are currently standing at this very stage. The fact that you managed to defeat the entire Shadow Battalion with one hand speaks volumes. You've not only grasped this level—you’ve mastered it.Advanced Stage: Core FormationThis is a monumental step in any cultivator’s path. It’s where the practitioner succeeds in forging a Qi Core deep within their body, usually in the lower Dantian. This core becomes a wellspring of immense, stable power—far more reliable than scattered Qi.At this level, the practitioner isn't just strong—they are formidable. They gain a
