391: Beast
Just as the girls were running to catch up with Kai, their unease grew heavier with every step.It wasn’t fear, it was more like an instinct.Kai walking away without lashing out felt wrong. Deeply wrong and every one of them knew him well enough by now to understand one simple truth.When Kai looked calm after being cheated, insulted, and mocked, it meant something terrible was about to happen. Calm was never surrender. Calm was preparation.“Kai.. wait.. !” one of the girls shouted, breathless.Before anyone could reach him, the ground trembled.Not a light shake or an aftershock.This was violent.The earth roared beneath their feet like something massive was waking up from a long sleep. Stones bounced. Cracks spread like spiderwebs. Everyone staggered, some nearly falling flat as the tremor intensified.“What...what the hell is that?” someone screamed.No one answered because the sound wasn’t random, it was footsteps.Heavy, deliberate and crushing.They all turned toward the sour
392: Big Mouth, Bigger Trouble
The group fell into a silence so deep it felt physical.They all stood there staring at Kai like he’d just grown a second head… then insulted it… then challenged the heavens with it.If someone had told them ten minutes ago that this calm, slightly annoying man was the reason a guardian beast had descended to personally wipe out several groups, they would have laughed. Now, looking at him standing casually in front of an ancient monstrosity, they felt a strange, shared realization sink in.Kai wasn’t normal.At all.If stupidity had levels, Kai had clearly skipped all of them and ascended straight into a dangerous, uncharted realm where common sense went to die.One of the girls swallowed hard and thought, This man… this man is a walking calamity with legs.Another mentally corrected it. No. With a mouth. A very big mouth.No one dared speak.Not because they didn’t want to.But because they were terrified that if anyone opened their mouth, Kai might take it as encouragement and say s
393: Please Shut Up, Just This Once
The world folded in on itself.One moment they were standing beneath a blood-stained sky, the next it felt like they were being dragged through an invisible river made of pressure, heat, and roaring energy. None of them could see properly. There was no wind, yet it felt like something vast was carrying them forward, wrapping around them like an unseen current.They weren’t flying.They were riding on the beast’s will.The girls clung instinctively to one another, hearts pounding wildly, hair and clothes fluttering as if caught in a storm that didn’t exist. Abigail forced herself to stay calm, gripping her sword tightly even though she knew full well that if the beast decided to crush them mid-transport, there would be nothing she could do about it.Kai, of course, looked… intrigued.His eyes kept darting around, as if he were studying the way space bent and stretched, like this was some rare sightseeing opportunity instead of a potentially fatal experience.Then...BOOM.The pressure v
394: Broken Things and Sharp Eyes
The moment they stepped fully into the ruins, the atmosphere shifted.It wasn’t dramatic. There was no sudden pressure, no obvious killing intent flooding the air, no overwhelming aura crashing down on them. Instead, it was subtle...too subtle. Like walking into a room where a conversation had just stopped the instant you entered.Eyes.They could feel them.Not just one or two, but many watching from behind broken walls, half-collapsed pillars, shadowed doorways, and the upper remains of ruined buildings. These weren’t the curious glances of weak cultivators hoping to scavenge scraps. These gazes were steady, sharp, and calculating.Predators watching predators.The girls instinctively slowed their steps, shoulders tightening. Some of them shifted closer together without realizing it, backs straight, fingers brushing the hilts of their weapons. Even their breathing changed, lighter, and quieter.“These people…” one of them murmured softly, barely moving her lips, “they’re not like th
395: Scraps
Kai kept walking and he kept picking things up.Not in a rushed way. Not greedily scooping everything in sight either. It was deliberate, three steps, stop. A glance and a pause. Then his hand would reach down and collect something that everyone else had already dismissed as trash.A cracked treasure with its spiritual circuit shattered.A warped shard of metal once part of a mechanism.A splintered crystal drained to near transparency.Each time he did it, the frowns on his group’s faces deepened.At first, they tried to ignore it. Then they tried to understand it but then eventually, they just became confused.“He’s still doing it,” one of the girls muttered.Another whispered back, “Is he… searching for something?”Abigail had been watching him the longest.She noticed the way his eyes didn’t wander randomly. He wasn’t just picking broken things, he was filtering. Ignoring ninety percent of the debris and only stopping for very specific fragments. Pieces that, on their own, looked
396: Bearer of the key
The moment they stopped before the massive door, silence fell.And it was not the calm kind but the uneasy kind.The kind that crept into the spine and made people instinctively lower their voices, as if the door itself might be listening.The surface of the door was ancient beyond reason no visible hinges, no carvings that made sense, no symbols announcing conditions or rewards. It was simply there, towering, oppressive, and absolutely indifferent to everyone staring at it.“It’s… not opening,” someone muttered unnecessarily.As if that wasn’t obvious.Groups from different factions slowly gathered, whispering among themselves, circling the door like cautious predators unsure whether their prey was alive.“This has to be the entrance.”“Then why isn’t it reacting?”“Maybe it needs blood.”“Or Qi.”“Or… sacrifice?”That last suggestion earned the speaker a few uncomfortable looks.Eventually, impatience won.One group stepped forward, their leader snorting. “Enough guessing.”He rais
Chapter 397:
The instant Kai and his group slipped through the doorway, chaos exploded behind them as everyone wanted to enter tooThe massive door slammed shut with a thunderous boom, the ancient stone sealing itself as if it had never been opened in the first place. Runes flared briefly, then vanished, leaving behind nothing but a cold, unyielding door.For half a heartbeat, there was silence and then..“YOU BASTARD...!”“OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!”“ASSHOLE! YOU FUCKING THIEF!”Fists slammed against the door. Techniques crashed into it from every direction, fire scorched the surface, blades screeched uselessly, earth-type cultivators punched until their knuckles split. Not a single crack appeared.The door didn’t even hum, instead it ignored them.That realization snapped something ugly inside everyone left outside.“HE TOOK EVERYTHING!”“That shameless bastard...he planned this from the start!”“If he dares take all the inheritance, I’ll skin him alive when we leave this realm!”“Pray he doesn’t com
Chapter 398: The Hall.
The group watched him with so much anger that some of them coughed up blood. His calm demeanor rattled them and they hated him for that.Dozens of fingers shot out at once.“Fuck you ”“That bastard planned everything!”“You tricked us outside!”“You let us kill each other!”Voices overlapped, sharp with rage, humiliation, and barely restrained bloodlust. Some of them were bleeding. Some were missing teammates. Some were still clutching useless scraps like proof of suffering. All of that anger needed a target and Kai was standing right there, whole, calm, and irritatingly composed.Kai didn’t react, didn’t flinch, sneered and he didn’t even bother rolling his eyes.He simply stood there with his hands loosely clasped behind his back, gaze steady, as if he were listening to children argue over who broke a bowl.When the shouting grew loud enough to echo against the ancient walls, he finally spoke.Calm, and even almost polite which shocked his teammates because the Kai they knew was ze
399: No Doors, Only Swords
For a heartbeat after Kai spoke, the entire hall went unnaturally quiet.Forty wooden puppets, forty swords and one of the inheritance trials.The group stared at the motionless figures lined up around the hall, their carved faces blank, their bodies still, as if they were nothing more than decorations. The faint glow in their eyes pulsed softly, almost lazily, like a predator pretending to sleep.“Fight them?” someone finally asked, voice cracking just a little. “All of them?”Another swallowed hard. “You’re joking, right?”All eyes slowly turned toward Kai.Kai shrugged.A full, careless shrug. The kind that said this is obvious, why are we still talking?“What else do you expect?” he said calmly. “Negotiate? Sing to them? Ask politely?”He tilted his head and added, deadpan, “They’re holding swords. That’s usually a hint.”A few people twitched.Someone muttered under their breath, “This guy is insane…”Kai ignored that and turned his gaze lazily toward the puppets standing near th
340: Wood Puppets
With no other option left and no one stupid enough to keep arguing, the group finally accepted reality.They couldn’t blame Kai.Not because he was innocent...no, far from it but because winning a blame game against Kai was like arguing with gravity. Useless, exhausting, and guaranteed to make you look dumber the longer you tried.So they did the only thing left.They teamed up.Reluctantly, bitterly and with a lot of ugly looks thrown around.Weapons were drawn. Techniques were circulated. Defensive formations were hastily discussed, voices overlapping as frustration bled into urgency.And through all of it...Kai and his group didn’t move.Not a single step forward and not a single weapon raised.They stood off to the side like bored spectators at a marketplace brawl.That… pissed people off.“You’re really not going to help?” someone snapped, sword trembling slightly in their grip.Another scoffed loudly. “Typical. Arrogant bastard thinks he’s above this.”A third turned toward the
