Chapter 1: "Please, I am begging you. Please stop. I'll give you anything, just stop, please!" Ye Feng writhed against the cold stone floor, forced onto his knees by two heavy-handed guards. He was a youth of thin build and dark hair, his clothes tattered and his face pale with helplessness. His eyes were wide with horror as he locked them on his half-brother, Ye Cheng, who stood over their bound mother. "Ye Feng, it’s not that I refuse to stop," Ye Cheng replied, his tone dripping with mock pity. He casually wiped fresh blood off the short knife in his hand. "It is your mother who refuses to reveal where she hid the clan's spirit stones It's her you should beg. Those stones are crucial to our clan survival. My hands are tied here." Bloody liar, Ye Feng snarled in his mind. Ye Cheng and his mother, Ye Shuyin, have always plotted to cast us out. My father used to stand up for us, but ever since the Spirit Root Awakening Ceremony, he treats us like garbage. Now they've framed

Chapter 3: "System, how do I retrieve the sword?" [The sword has already been retrieved by the Host and is stored inside your bloodstream.] Ye Feng panicked. "In my bloodstream? Isn't that dangerous?" [Do not worry, Host. The Pulsar Blade possesses a hidden-weapon feature. It can rest harmlessly within your blood and be summoned instantly for battle, acting as an hidden weapon when necessary.] "Oh," Ye Feng breathed, calming his racing pulse. "So, how do I call it out?" [Steady your mind and call upon it.] Ye Feng did exactly as instructed. He closed his eyes and focused. Instantly, a crimson energy gathered at his fingertips, extending into a magnificent sword. The blade was a deep, blood-red hue, radiating an intense, palpable killing intent that made the surrounding air hum with power. He didn't have time to admire it. The bushes burst open. A massive bull the size of a truck, completely engulfed in roaring flames, charged into the clearing. "So, my first beast

Chapter 5: The atmosphere grew suffocating, thick with a heavy, predatory silence. Man and genius stood at an absolute stalemate.Slowly, Ye Feng’s cold face cracked into a dark, humorless laugh. "Now I understand how someone your age is already a Core Formation master. You are quite intelligent."Mo Qingxue didn’t flinch. "So, are you going to let me leave or not?"Ye Feng stepped closer, his footsteps deliberate. "Let me ask you a single question first."Unable to stand, Mo Qingxue could only glare upward. "Speak.""I know you came here because you detected the energy of my Myriad Body, desperately needing a vessel to expel your volatile Yin energy," Ye Feng said, his tone devoid of emotion. "So tell me: if our positions were reversed, and you found me while you were at the peak of your strength... would you have let me go? Or would you have forcefully shackled me into your personal cultivation vessel?"Mo Qingxue's eyelids fluttered. He knows, she realized frantically, her mind ra

Chapter 7: At the sudden sound of Ye Cheng’s voice, Ye Feng’s entire body went rigid. His hands clenched so violently that his fingernails sliced into his palms, causing dark crimson blood to drip quietly onto the floor.Behind him, Mo Qingxue’s sharp eyes caught the sudden burst of raw, untamed hatred, but she remained silent, keeping her head low. Suppressing the absolute fury raging in his chest, Ye Feng turned his back to the entrance and calmly followed the maid up the wooden stairs.Down in the lobby, Ye Cheng’s eyes casually drifted toward the staircase. His brow furrowed slightly as he stared at the masked youth’s retreating back. Why does that person look so familiar? he wondered, a brief flicker of suspicion entering his mind.He turned his arrogant gaze to the trembling innkeeper. "Who are those two?""Oh, just some ordinary travelers who just checked in, Young Master Ye," the innkeeper replied obsequiously, bowing low.Ye Cheng scoffed internally, dismissing the thought.

Chapter 6: Walking Money Bag"Big brother, we’ve been waiting here for five days now," one of the hidden assassins hissed, shifting his weight behind the boulder. "There's still no sign of the boy."The second assassin grunted. "With that brat's pathetic cultivation, I doubt he's even alive inside that meat grinder of a forest.""Shut up," the leader of the trio snapped, his eyes scanning the treeline. "The client was absolute about this. We ensure the boy is dead, or we make him dead. We wait a few more days to confirm the corpse."The two reluctantly nodded. Suddenly, the rustling of leaves broke the creepy silence.From the dense foliage of the Star Beast Forest, Ye Feng stepped out, completely unbothered. Beside him walked Mo Qingxue."Surround them!" the leader barked.In a flash, the three assassins blocked their path. The second assassin laughed maniacally, twirling his twin daggers. "Who would’ve thought the trash was actually still breathing?"Ignoring them entirely, Mo Qingx
