One month had passed since Kael arrived in the Upper World and became Chen Tianwei's disciple.One month full of intensive training.Every day, Kael woke before sunrise. He meditated in the back courtyard, absorbing the abundant natural spiritual energy. Then he practiced the techniques Chen Tianwei taught with very high focus.Chen Tianwei provided very strict guidance. Every small mistake was corrected. Every movement was analyzed. Every breakthrough was monitored carefully.And Kael accepted everything with a very respectful attitude. He appeared as an obedient and loyal disciple. A disciple who appreciated every teaching from his master. A disciple who seemed to have completely forgotten the sin Chen Tianwei committed against the Lower World, because Chen Tianwei had taught him many things.But of course, that was all an act.Behind that respectful attitude, Kael harbored hatred that burned hotter every day. And with every technique he learned, his revenge plan matured further.Wi

Two months had ended.Two months full of hard training, non-stop cultivation, and mature preparation. And the result was very satisfying.Kael had now reached fifth-level Heavenly Realm. Rose two more levels. An extraordinary advancement, even by Upper World standards.---Today, as usual, Kael woke very early in the morning. The sun hadn't even fully risen yet. The sky was still dark gray with a bit of orange tint on the eastern horizon.Kael walked toward the back courtyard with calm steps. The morning air was very cool and fresh. Cherry blossom flowers fell slowly, creating a peaceful scene.He sat cross-legged on the same flat stone, then closed his eyes.Natural spiritual energy flowed into his body gently. His already very strong dantian absorbed that energy efficiently.But this time, Kael didn't meditate too long. He only felt the flow of spiritual energy, calming his mind, preparing himself mentally for the coming tournament.A few hours later, the sound of footsteps was hear

Meanwhile, in a different corner, stood a beautiful woman looking at Kael with a gaze full of interest.Chen Yuelin.A twenty-year-old woman with a very beautiful face. Her skin white and clean like jade. Her hair long and jet black, tied in an elegant knot. Her beautiful eyes radiated an aura that was calm but also mysterious.Although she was very beautiful, she still lost to Chen Ningshuang who stood beside Kael. But her beauty was enough to make many men look at her with admiration.She was a disciple of Elder Mingxia, the number one Elder among the nine Grand Elders. And of course, Chen Yuelin was the disciple most favored as champion in this tournament.She was mysterious. Not many knew about her abilities. But everyone knew she was very strong.When she looked at Kael with a gaze full of interest, a handsome man beside her noticed it.Chen Haoran.An inner disciple who looked about twenty-seven years old, but was actually fifty years old. He was one of the best inner disciples

CLANG!Kael with a very fast and accurate movement, drew his sword and extended it horizontally, blocking Chen Zihao's attack right before the blade touched his neck.BOOOM!!!A shockwave was created from the collision of those two swords.Spiritual energy exploded in all directions, creating a strong wind that swept the arena.Almost all participants who were near them were forced to retreat several steps, protecting their faces from the strong pressure.Chen Zihao smiled satisfied, then said in a tone full of pride."Interesting! You're able to withstand my attack?! For a lowly Lower World human, you're quite impressive! But trust me, this is the end for you!"Kael looked at Chen Zihao with a calm gaze, then replied in a casual tone."Young people indeed always have boiling enthusiasm. As the older one, I'll teach you a little life lesson, that your perspective of the world is nothing more than a frog trapped in a shallow well!"Chen Zihao's face immediately turned red. His blood bo

Meanwhile, Chen Ruoxue, a twenty-two-year-old woman with deadly sword technique, disciple of Elder Bingfeng, had brought down three participants in less than one minute.Every movement precise. Every slash brutal. All three of her opponents fell with deep wounds in various parts of their bodies.And when she saw Kael bring down Chen Zihao very easily, her eyes sparkled.An interesting opponent.Finally!Without waiting long, she immediately charged toward Kael at full speed. Her body like a shooting arrow. The sword in her hand gleamed with cold blue light.Then with terrifying power, she swung her sword toward Kael's neck.SYYAAASSHH!That slash was fast. Very fast.But Kael reacted in time. With a very smooth movement, he spun his body. His sword lifted from below, meeting Chen Ruoxue's sword in mid-air.CLANG!!!A very hard collision. Sparks appeared from the meeting of those two blades.A shockwave exploded in all directions, making several participants standing near them thrown s
