After rolling for six rounds, Malakai Yan stopped as his body hit a rock. He tried to stand up, but his head felt dizzy, and everything in front of his eyes appeared as mere shadows.Although there was no pain from the stab in his chest, the attack left a shocking mark. What's more, he felt incredibly embarrassed. It had never occurred to him that Eadric Rong, who had always been the victim of bullies, had enough sword skills to take him down.With his two best friends, who had always faithfully followed his orders, standing by and witnessing his defeat, Malakai Yan's mind was worried about his reputation being ruined if word got out.In his rage, Malakai Yan pulled out a sword. Unlike the wooden sword Eadric Rong was using, this was a real sword and looked dangerous. The sword's light glittered in the sunlight as Malakai Yan pointed it at Eadric Rong with a trembling voice."It turns out you have a little ability," Malakai Yan said, shivering angrily. His voice rose even higher. "You

If his actions were reported to his father, then Malakai Yan was sure that his father would not hesitate to expel him from the Wudang Sect."We have to go!" snapped Malakai Yan harshly as he pulled his two friends, Judith Tang and Teddy Huo, to leave the place. The two of them followed Malakai Yan back to the residences of the inner court disciples in the Wudang Sect.Since Elder Juric Teng's arrival, the audience of Wudang Sect's outer court disciples had immediately dispersed. No one dared comment after this stern elder's arrival.After things quietened, Elder Juric Teng flicked his sleeves and disappeared in a light movement.At that moment, Millie Xiao immediately ran towards Eadric Rong, who was still on the ground from the blow. Malakai Yan's sword had almost taken his life."Eadric Rong, are you okay?" the girl asked as she scrutinized Eadric Rong's body, looking for signs of injury."Ah, they're all just minor scratches. They'll heal over time," Eadric Rong replied as he took

He was trying to stand up from the pile of leaves arranged like a mattress, feeling and becoming increasingly convinced that he was indeed at the bottom of the ravine when a voice startled him."Good! You've come to your senses?" the voice said, making Eadric Rong realize he wasn't alone. The voice echoed, sounding close but as if it came from far away.Eadric Rong initially thought he was alone at the bottom of this abyss. From feeling shocked, he now felt happy. "S-who is it?"Silence.The sound of someone coughing was heard next.Uhuk!The coughing sound came from a small crack in the abyss wall. While enduring the pain in his body, Eadric Rong hobbled toward the sound's direction, which was precisely at the cave-shaped rock crevice.The cave was dark and gloomy, probably due to the lack of sunlight entering it. However, Eadric Rong's eyes quickly adapted, and he could see clearly inside the cave.Gasp!An older man sat with his eyes closed. His body was very thin, similar to a liv

Seeing the attitude of the little boy who was initially afraid and reluctant to speak, but when he mentioned the opportunity for Eadric Rong to gain strength by manipulating his Energy Pearl, the older man's face visibly changed.If he had looked horrible and cruel before, he would have been laughing aloud this time."Hahaha!"The sound echoed, making the whole cave seem as if it might collapse.Eadric Rong naturally became scared; he stepped back and kept his distance."Elder, please don't laugh. This cave could collapse, and we'll both die," Eadric Rong said in a panic.After laughing and scaring Eadric Rong, the ugly older man said mockingly."Little boy. You're still a child but are already as cunning as a fox. You seemed scared at first, but once you heard that you could restore your ability to cultivate by procuring new Energy Pearls, you suddenly became nice to me. Even calling me Elder!"After speaking, the older man looked at Eadric Rong with two blank eyes. Eadric Rong's fac

Eadric Rong's entire vision became blurry as he opened his eyes."Where am I? What happened?"This incident felt like deja vu. Fainting, then waking up, so repeatedly.However, this time, Eadric Rong woke up in a dark cave. Another difference was that it was already night.Moonlight entered through the cave door, providing minimal illumination."Lighters!" whispered Eadric Rong. "I have to make a torch!"As an outer court student who also worked in the kitchen, Eadric Rong always carried a lighter. Before long, he was seen blowing on it, and the lighter was lit.With a joyful heart, Eadric Rong lit a fire on a piece of wood containing resin, a kind of flammable sap.When the fire had illuminated the cave, his face immediately paled."Demon Umbrella Elder? What happened?" Subconsciously, he took a few steps back, unable to watch the figure die with a pool of blood around him. A rancid odor stabbed into his nostrils, making the boy almost vomit.Eadric Rong rushed out of the cave to get
