She woke up just before morning in a room surrounded by firewood. The room had a dirt floor with a roof made of bamboo."Ah, where is this?" The girl looked around and found no one beside her. However, she saw outside the room that two guards were at the outer door and several people passing by.Ampy Ang remembered that the last time she was conscious, she had encountered a man dressed in all black. She woke up with her hands and feet tied in front of her.Then, the girl noticed several people approaching her. The closer they got, the clearer their figures became."That ugly brother..." murmured Ampy Ang as she saw Pang Ling with several guards walking toward her. "So this is all his doing. Huh." She snorted.Pang Ling opened the room where Ampy Ang was held captive. He stepped forward toward the girl with a tall, authoritative demeanor like a prince. Then the young man squatted down and held Ampy Ang's chin."Truly a beautiful girl," he said, smiling as he raised one corner of his mou

"Ssst." The captive girl placed her finger in front of her mouth. "Don’t tell anyone about this, okay?" She said with a sly smile."Hemm." Ampy Ang nodded."Good. What’s your name?""Ampy Ang.""My name is Shen Tie Er. You’re very clever to think of using the bandits' power to fight the monster.""Of course, I have to think of ways to survive, even in difficult situations. But how did someone as strong as you, Sister Shen, become a captive of the bandits?""Oh, that... I let them take me so I could escape from the Shen Family's trading group. Actually, I came out to look for someone. I felt bored being constantly monitored by them. Besides, going out for a while wouldn’t cause any problems," said Shen Tie Er while scratching her cheek, which wasn't itchy.The Shen family was a wealthy family. Its leader, Shen Dal, was a merchant with many ships. The Shen family had a business that was globally recognized. This family distinguished itself by placing their surname at the beginning of a n

Renggin Ang saw the shadow of an elephant rushing quickly. "Snail shell spiritual shield!" The boy crossed his arms in front of him. His spiritual energy formed an oval layer to withstand Say Ang's attack.Bugh!Meanwhile, they remained in a kicking and defending position for several minutes. Renggin Ang snapped his fingers using the swaying wind technique to retrieve a feather that was stuck in his shorts.Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh.The wind swirled, brushing the feather against Renggin Ang's nose."Tsk tsk. What is he doing? Playing with a feather? Hahaha," the spectators laughed, mocking Renggin Ang."Idiot! How can you play around while fighting?" Say Ang added spiritual power to the soles of his feet. "Elephant stomp!"Thud! Thud! Thud!Say Ang kicked repeatedly, pushing Renggin Ang backward. However, he remained focused on executing the Wain Hatchi technique while defending with the snail shell spiritual shield. Until the moment came..."Hachiiiiiiiiiii!"Whoooooooosh!Renggin A

Renggin Ang ran over to Bara Ang. "Eldest brother, are you okay?" He helped him up and supported him.Bara Ang's face looked furious. His eyes bulged, his lips curled, and his hands clenched as he turned to approach the young man who had hit him. Bara Ang then launched a fist toward the young man's face.However, Bara Ang’s punch was easily deflected. The young man then knocked Bara Ang back with a tiger's roar.ROAR!Bugh!The powerful blow injured some of Bara Ang’s internal organs, causing him to spit blood. Renggin Ang jumped to catch him to prevent Bara Ang from hitting the ground."Damn! It turns out he has reached the spiritual beast formation stage; no wonder he's so arrogant," Bara Ang grunted, holding his chest."Spiritual beast formation?" Renggin Ang murmured while thinking. He then turned to glare at the arrogant young man."I want to try fighting them," Renggin Ang said to Bara Ang."Huh? Come on, don't look for trouble again. We're no match for them," Bara Ang replied.H

In the courtyard of the Fifth Elder's residence, Renggin Ang and his three friends practiced until the evening."You must focus on perfecting the formation of your spiritual beasts if you want to control them!" An Ting shouted at her students. "Remember! An imperfect spiritual beast cannot be controlled! Do you understand?""Understood, Teacher!" replied Renggin Ang and his three friends."Ahem. From now on, just call me Senior An Ting.""Okay, Senior.""Good!" An Ting said, satisfied. "I’m going to the library to borrow a book. You all keep practicing!" The woman left them.An Ting herself had a mosquito as her spiritual beast, while Gun Ting had an ant. An Ting and Gun Ting were the worst training teachers at the academy. For years, they were the only ones who managed to endure under Elder Mo's guidance.In the past, other children who became Elder Mo's students preferred to return to their respective homes rather than continue to endure oppression at the academy without any compassi
