Both men were filled with shock. How could a nine-year-old child have the aura of a sixth-class warrior? Their pupils trembled, their breaths caught in their throats. It didn't make sense. A child that age should still be at the basic level; even reaching a first-class warrior was difficult. Yet, the aura they sensed from this boy was so real—the pressure, the creeping dread in their bones, all told them that they weren't dealing with an ordinary child.They looked at each other, communication happening silently through eye gestures and subtle movements of their fingers. They both understood that this situation was dangerous. If this boy was truly as strong as they sensed, they couldn't act rashly.After a few seconds of silence, they nodded almost simultaneously. Their bodies tensed, muscles ready to explode at full speed. They decided to move in one swift attack—eliminate the boy before something more dreadful happened.But... before they could move, Tian Chen's body vanished from h

Tian Chen narrowed his eyes. His gaze sharpened, scrutinizing the four middle-aged men standing rigidly in his yard. They were no ordinary men. The way they stood, their confident demeanor, and the aura of pressure they exuded all indicated they were seasoned warriors.One of them stepped forward, his voice cold and laced with pressure. "What are you looking for me for?" Tian Chen asked, his voice flat but sharp.The man grinned, revealing his yellowed teeth. "Boy, you have to come with us to see His Majesty!”Tian Chen remained silent, his expression unchanging. But his gaze grew sharper. "What if I refuse?"The man's grin widened, but his eyes glinted cruelly. "If you refuse, then we'll have to bring your body!"His words were met with nods from the other three men. They didn't hesitate in the slightest, as if Tian Chen's death was already a certainty.Tian Chen didn't respond with words. He simply stood his ground, his body relaxed but his eyes alert. These four men were sixth-clas

Tian Chen stood at the edge of the peak, his eyes scanning the vast expanse that stretched below. Gray fog swirled among the giant trees that towered like colossal pillars from a forgotten world. The air felt heavy, as if filled with faint whispers he couldn't comprehend. In the distance, a long roar echoed, piercing the silence that held the place captive. The sound wasn't from just one creature, but from many entities hiding in the shadows. The wind blew strongly, carrying the scent of damp earth and something foreign—an odor reminiscent of death long frozen in that place. The cliff walls surrounding the plain looked like natural prisons. The rocks were rough, slippery, and covered in moss, as if warning anyone trying to descend that this place was not for ordinary humans.Tian Chen clenched his fist. Fear tried to creep into his heart, but he brushed it aside. The road to glory was always paved with darkness. He took a deep breath, then stepped forward, gazing at the plain that see

After his physical strength had increased, Tian Chen started to explore the deeper parts of Mount Sumul. He was searching for a place filled with lightning.As he walked, he encountered many beasts, but now, even eighth-grade stealth beasts were no match for him, let alone ninth-grade ones.After running for several days, he finally found the location he was looking for.However, upon seeing the place, his body tensed slightly. He noticed that the sky above it was different from other places. Lightning continuously struck, making anyone who saw it shudder in fear.“I don’t know if this will work or not, but I’m sure my father wouldn’t make a misleading statement in his writings. I must be brave!”It was natural for him to have doubts, because the sky above that place was unlike any other part of Mount Sumul.Here, dark black clouds swirled endlessly, as if hiding something more terrifying within them. Sunlight never touched this land, only flashes of lightning raged, illuminating the

King Sampong crawled in front of Healer Siyo. His face was smeared with blood, his b, dy trembling with fear."Healer Siyo, please forgive me, please let me live." his voice was hoarse, full of panic.BAANG!!!As his only remaining hand reached out to wipe Healer Siyo's feet, Tian Chen had already jumped, stepping on his arm with extraordinary force."Don't touch my Mother," Tian Chen's voice was flat, but it contained a pressure that made anyone who heard it shiver. "Your lowly hand is not worthy of touching any part of my Mother's body."King Sampong screamed in pain, fear, and suffering mixed into one. He never imagined that the thirteen-year-old boy who had been underestimated before now stood before him as a far more powerful and cruel existence. If he had known that this little monster was terrifying to an unimaginable degree, he would never have dared to pick a fight with him.Regret filled his mind, but regret was something that had no cure in this world. Small mistakes might
