"This is really refreshing. It wasn't in vain that I endured the pain that tortured me for four months." After that, Jhi Chen continued to practice, repeating movement after movement without stopping. From outside the martial arts room, Bao Yang watched him quietly. His gaze was filled with pride that was hard to hide. His lips curved, displaying a rarely seen smile. "Haha, I didn't expect to get such an extraordinary disciple. His talent and determination surpass anyone I've ever seen, even surpassing my own talent. It's true, the new surpasses the old. Jao Jan, your junior brother is truly extraordinary. You used to cultivate the War God Body too, but to complete the first rank it took you three years, and it took me one year and eight months. He is almost ten times faster than you." Time continued to pass. Unnoticed, Jhi Chen had been in the martial arts room for one hundred and ten years. If calculated with the time outside, that's equivalent to only eleven years. During that

Jhi Chen's body immediately tingled intensely, a burning sensation spreading through all his body tissues. It was like being pricked by thousands of sharp needles at once, piercing relentlessly. However, instead of losing focus, Jhi Chen further calmed his mind. "This is not as painful as the pain when cultivating the War God Body," he thought with determination. The memory of four full months of suffering training his physical body made this pain no longer frightening to him. It didn't take long for something surprising to happen. The water in the lake rippled, then began to shrink. It was as if the entire contents of the Sacred Argaria Spring were forcibly sucked into Jhi Chen's body. In a matter of moments, the abundant water radiance completely disappeared, vanishing into him. As that pure energy entered his body, the bloodline in Jhi Chen's dantian immediately reacted. The bloodline of the divine lightning beast roared with excitement, as did the sun bloodline, and the blood

From within, Mu Xiao'er's gentle voice was heard. "My good son, why are you standing at the door? Come in, there's someone waiting for you." Hearing his mother's voice, Jhi Chen's body trembled slightly. Carefully, he stepped inside. As soon as he closed the door behind him, he immediately knelt on the floor. Mu Xiao'er smiled as she looked at him. "My good son, get up quickly. See who's in front of you." Slowly, Jhi Chen raised his face. His eyes immediately fixed on the figure of a middle-aged man sitting there. The man's body was not too tall, only about 180 cm. His face was handsome, his eyes deep with an emerald green color that held firmness. The clothes he wore were ordinary, without any embellishments. But even though simple, the aura of an expert could not be hidden at all. A thin smile appeared on the man's face. "Chen'er, you've grown up." Upon hearing that voice, Jhi Chen's nose felt hot. His eyes turned red, his cheeks wet with tears. He immediately gave a greeti

His father didn't have time to ask where he had gone. Perhaps it wasn't because he didn't care, but rather because he didn't want to pry into something he considered unimportant. In the eyes of a cultivator, exploring forbidden areas or disappearing for a long time for training was not strange. It happened often, and was usually considered part of the path to be taken. "Chen'er, where have you been all this time? Did you have any difficulties that prevented you from coming home, or at least giving Mother news?" Mu Xiao'er's voice sounded gentle, although there was a hint of worry tucked within it. Her gaze pierced straight through her son's face, as if wanting to ascertain the truth of every word that would come out. Jhi Chen lowered his head for a moment, trying to hold back the wave of feelings. He had indeed promised his teacher that he would not mention the existence of the Master. In order to keep that secret, he had to make up a story. Calmly he replied, "Mother, I did have d

The Emperor of the Kingdom walked with a smile, his steps full of authority and calm. That smile was both reassuring and affirming his position as ruler. Everyone's gaze automatically turned to him, awaiting further orders. "Are you ready to depart?" he said with a dignified yet gentle voice, making everyone who heard him straighten up. "Answering Your Majesty, we are ready." The voices that answered came in unison, full of respect. The Emperor nodded slightly. "Alright, we will depart now. You can take your respective resting places." The followers began to move to disperse, but their steps stopped instantly when the Emperor spoke again. "Physician Xiaomu, please wait a moment." Mu Xiao'er immediately stopped and turned. With a calm demeanor, she replied, "Does the Emperor need something?" The Emperor did not answer directly, but instead called two young figures standing not far away. "Lan Nying, Lan Saobai, come here." Those two names made everyone pay attention. Lan Nyin
