Ring Ring Ring
The phone made a ringing noise. Immediately, a man in his forties with black undercut hair answers the phone. On the other end of the line is the voice of a woman who, based on her tone, appears anxious.
"Hu? Someone is attacking our clan head quarters. "Who's dumb enough to do that? " He shouted from his throat; he's clearly pissed off.
"That's the thing, Elder Chen. The person attacking is very powerful, and we believe that his strength is at least Master Rank."
"Master Rank ??? Which powerful clan sent a master into our clan ?"
"I have no idea . We failed to know everything about him, but he seems to be a master of flame ki. His control over elemental Ki is very precise, and he is burning our clan to the ground." Her anxious voice trembled with fear as she watched the fiery destruction in front of her.
"How many people die?"
"I don't know , but he's only fighting those who refused to surrender "
"Wait for me." I'll go there myself. Despite the fact that Elder Chen had no knowledge of how many people had already died, he made the brave decision to go and save as many people as he could
.

.
The whole mansion is already burning when the backup arrives. In front of them are wounded combatants who are lying on the ground.
"Heal the wounded first " Elder Chen spoke in an angry manner.
A bunch of cultivators started transferring their ki to heal the wounded. Their healing technique is not as strong as Mo Shen's, so it took them a couple of minutes to heal their comrades.
"Where is the intruder ?"
"He's inside the Treasury."
"What? How did he decode the lock ? Did he destroy the whole Treasury?"
"No, Master Chen, he just touches the door and it just opened."
"Are you kidding me? That seal was made by a Grand Master. It's not something that can be destroyed easily by a mere touch. " The information provided by his subordinates shocked him. Even an elite from a Silver Rank Clan was asked to help him create that lock. And now, his subordinates are informing him that a simple touch was all it took to destroy it. He would be more inclined to believe them if they claimed that it had been attacked by numerous missiles, but a touch?
"Nevermind, I'm going to go there myself. Butcher, cover me ."
"Yes, Master Chen, They both sprinted in the direction of the Treasury.
The entrance to the Treasury was open when they arrived. There was no sign of forceful entry, so it just confirmed his subordinate's statement.
Their faces were filled with surprise and anxiousness. It was hard to believe that such a powerful person existed. Seal decoding is only possible if the user has a thorough understanding of the seal's patterns. Although it is theoretically possible, few people actually attempt to do this due to its difficulty.
"Master Chen, look at the Treasury." Butcher pointed his finger at the now-empty Treasury.
"How can it be empty? It's not possible for a single person to take all those resources in one go."
"Did he use a spacial storage perhaps? Butcher voice out his opinion but he seemed to think otherwise
.
"That's impossible; spacial storage is very hard to find." Master Chen answered.
"Then how did he do it?"
"I'm not sure. However, we must be ready in case he has any allies."
"Is he still here ?" Butcher scanned the place with his senses.
"Yes, I can feel a faint trace of mana deep inside the underground room "
"Let's go, Master Chen. I will be the vanguard and protect you " Butcher unsheathed his double-edged sword from his waist.The sword is around 45 inches in length; it is silver in color, and there is a claw-like shape on its hilt.
They both move slowly in the direction of the Treasury. They must exercise caution because the intruders appear to feel secure in attacking the clan by himself. It simply indicates that he has the confidence to pull this job off.
"The intruder might really be a master rank; we need to be careful " Master Chen spoke. He's only at the early stage of Master Rank so he's afraid that the enemy is stronger.
"Why is a master like that trying to destroy our clan? Did we aggravate some high-ranking clan?" Butcher asks.
"Of course not! We are only a Bronze Rank clan, so there's no way someone from our family is bold enough to do that ." Elder Chen replied in frustration.
"Then why are we being harassed like this? " Butcher was clearly pissed off. He was the most talented cultivator in their clan and was already close to reaching Master Rank before the age of 30. Now he was summoned here to deal with someone who could kill him.
"There's a person in front "
They saw a tall young man with red hair and amber eyes sitting leisurely on the floor. It was Mo Shen. He once again used his shapeshifting spell to create another persona .
They stopped advancing and became more cautious.
"Who are you and why did you attack our clan?" Master Chen asked while already thinking of ways to attack this unknown enemy.
"Master Chen? The Clan Leader?" Mo Shen spoke and smiled. "I have been waiting for you "
"Waiting? It seems you're really confident in your power, but why is someone like you attacking our small clan?"
Mo Shen simply smiled at them.
"It seems you don't have any plans to answer, so you should just die "
"Wind Blade " A gale of wind shot towards Mo Shen at high speed. Butcher took this opportunity and exploaded in speed to close the gap between him and Mo Shen.
"A swordsman ?" Mo Shen saw the attack and smiled. This is a good opportunity for him to test his skills.
"Break for me " Mo Shen jump from his sitting postion and punched the wind blade directly,
-Boom
The wind blade immediately collapsed from impact. It could not handle a single punch from Mo Shen.
Butcher saw this and became more certain that the unknown invader is very powerful. He gathered all his strength and slashed his sword viciously at Mo Shen's head. Mo Shen remained calm in the face of this attack and gracefully avoided the strike with a simple backstep , but the attack created a wind slash, so it still managed to hit him.
Cling
Mo Shen blocks the wind with his crossed arms.
A few superficial wounds appeared on his arms, but they were not that deep. He also uses this opportunity to do a somersault and create a distance between them
Butcher is nearly master rank, and he focuses all his power on that attack. The force of his attack is very powerful. Mo Shen's arm would have been slashed off if not for his Golden Budda Technique.
"Damn, this guy is quite talented " Mo Shen was happy to meet someone good at close quarter combat.
But before he could say anything, another wind attack came at him.
"Wind Fist " Elder Chen uses his fist to generate multiple wind blasts. Every punch he executes is very lethal. Mo Shen was bombarded by multiple highly concentrated balls made of pressurized wind. Each of these balls is capable of blasting a hole the size of a basketball.
Mo Shen saw this and finally used a spell to even out the odds.
"Fighting two high level warriors is still very hard for me." Mo Shen used support spells to enhance his body.
"Hex: Magma Armor " Magma burst out from the floor and immediately covered Mo Shen . He looks like a real life magma man. The magma armor acted as an external protection, helping Mo Shen to counter the attacks of both warriors
He created this spell for his new persona. He needs to deceive others into thinking that the godly sect has many powerful fighters.
Boom
Boom
Boom
Boom
The pressurized air hit Mo Shen, but it only dented his armor a little.
Master Chen and Butcher's expressions turned sour the moment they saw the intimidating set of magma armor. The enemy now appears more like a monster than a person.
"I didn't know that such martial arts techniques existed." Butcher spoke with a concerned look. He can feel the heat coming from the enemy even from a distance.
"No....This can't be real." Master Chen was forced to step back after witnessing the magma armor.
"Union with the element" He mumbled those words with a trembling tone, unsure of what he should do next
"Union with the element ?" Butcher asked in confusion.
Master Chen paused for a moment and replied.
"It's a state only possible for Grandmaster rank."
"Then...." Butcher was also filled with dread as he realized the implications of what Master Chen had said.
"We can't win " Master Chen felt helpless.
They seem to misunderstand my spell? Mo Shen overheard their conversation and grinned. He realized how ignorant the people of this era are.
"Let's focus. The enemy is too strong, and we need to do our best if we want to survive. " Butcher prepared his stance and focused his willpower. He was prepared to die today . He knew that the only thing he could do now was fight to his very last breath and hope that it would be enough for him to survive."Overdrive " Butcher shouted, and his body started emitting white smoke. His eyes turned red, muscles expanding and veins protruding from pressure. This is one of the clan's strongest techniques, and it can allow him to reach half step Middle Stage Master Rank temporarily. The downside is that it would cripple the user permanently because he's now sacrificing his own life force to attain more power.His gaze focuses on Mo Shen. He's planning to unleash his strongest attack in one go. He prepared his sword stance. With a deep breath, he closed his eyes and focused his energy . Taking a step forward, he felt the tension around him build as he prepared to unleash his attackA humming s
An old woman, dressed in a flowing black dress, stood before him and made the entire room feel ominous. The darkness that surrounded her made it difficult to make out her features, but the way she stood sent shivers down his spine. The tattered fabric of her dress clung to her thin frame, and her hair was a wild and tangled mess. He narrowed his eyes and peered into the dark, trying to make out the woman's face. But the room was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. "Devour Life." The woman spoke with a grating, chilling voice that sent shivers through him. His palms grew slick with sweat as his hands trembled uncontrollably. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself for the worst. "Devour Death." A cold breath tickled the back of his neck, but the woman in front of him remained still, making the situation unnerving. Then suddenly... "hehehehehehe!!!!" Her crazed laughter filled the room as she ran towards him with wild, crazed eyes. He could feel his heart pounding and ever
The sound of whispers and murmurs echoed through the halls of the school, as students and staff rushed to gather around the nurse's office. They craned their necks, trying to catch a glimpse of what was happening.As Mia heard the news, her face lost color, and she felt a pang of guilt in her chest. She wished she had gone with him, but instead, she was left with regret.Meanwhile, some girls who were envious of her took the chance to spread rumors and attack her reputation. They surrounded Mia and taunted her, their voices filled with cruelty and jealousy. "She's so insensitive," one of the delinquent girls sneered, as they huddled together and pointed toward her."I can't believe she let her boyfriend go to the nurse's office all by himself," another chimed in, shaking her head in mock disapproval. "What kind of girlfriend is she?" the third added, making a show of tutting and clicking her tongue.But she simply walked past them with a straight face, unaffected by their insults.
As Mo Shen entered the classroom, most of his classmates had already taken their seats. He made his way to his designated seat located in the fourth row, settling in for the day's lessons.He was gone for almost a week when he was hospitalized, so most of his classmates look at him curiously. None of them came and asked him about his condition because they thought that he wanted to be left alone. "Am I not sociable?" Mo Shen realized his classmates were distant and began to reflect on his behavior. He concluded that perhaps it wouldn't hurt to be a bit more sociable from time to time. As he pondered, he understood that his lack of socializing was causing them to keep their distance.'Yeah, I remember that I'm bad at talking before' Mo Shen remembered that he used to struggle with communication, and as he shook his head, he acknowledged his past struggles with socializing."It's lucky that Mia was there to take care of me," Mo Shen thought to himself. He looked up at the blackboard a
Mo Shen had a busy day at school and was eager to continue his training to strengthen his body and improve his skills. The first thing that came to his mind is Mount Ming. Mount Ming is a dormant volcano between Incheon and Seosan. It's a tall mountain that faced the sea and had a lot of natural resources. Places like this are abundant in natural energy because they have all four major elements.He walked towards the station and boarded the train. His priority is to strengthen his body.Mo Shen sat near the window seat, looking at the old highways that connect the two cities. He could see the vast highway that quickly flew past him. The bundle of flowers and herd of birds on the railings reminded him of his past life.Mo Shen gazed at the ocean in front of him, sighing as he remembered a time when the platform was guarded by hundreds of cultivators. Doo."Next stop, Seosan ." The announcement jolted Mo Shen. He grabbed his black-colored bag, got to his feet, and stood up. Then he he
Mo Shen beamed with satisfaction as he felt his newly transformed body. He now had a more muscular physique, with bulging muscles that could be clearly seen through his clothing. This transformation was a significant change from his former average build. It was a good thing he had a spell to reduce his muscle mass. If not, Mia will surely be surprised to see such an abrupt change.After spending a night reinforcing his newly improved physique, Mo Shen went back home. Just as he expected, his body had become more vigorous despite not sleeping. He feels fresh and full of energy. The feeling was something no ordinary human could achieve."The improvement in my body is good enough to fight Martial Warriors. With this strength, I can go forward with my plan to earn more money."He was worried about the interruptions of big sects. They had a covert organization that dealt with individuals who broke their rules of confidentiality or cultivated without authorization. This group was known for
It was already 5:30 pm by the time they arrived at the mall; the sun was setting and casting a warm glow over the city. The night lights of the city had started to twinkle, creating a beautiful display. Meanwhile, the mall was bustling with activity, with people coming and going from its stores and restaurants. "Mo Shen... "Thank you for saving me back then." She tried her best, but she still mumbled some words. She was too self-conscious and did not know what to say."It's ok, it's nothing." he calmly replies while checking the menu. He never considered that incident a big deal after all. "What will happen now?" Mia's voice was still shaky from being overwhelmed. She realized the consequences of their actions."What do you mean?" Mo Shen continues to read the menu, he wants to taste some sushi. He was craving some Gunkan Maki, Sasazushi, and Nigiri paired with some cold ginger ale"That guy, Nathan, he's the son of a very wealthy family; he might do something underhanded."Mia's co
A series of muffled sounds can be heard over the roofs of multiple buildings. His body flickered while the darkness of the night covered him. His movements were so swift, so elegant, yet so deadly. It was like seeing death descend on earth. That's what he thought an overpowered main character in a novel would do, but Mo Shen was different; he would not do something so stupid and unnecessary. He took a cab and went to Nathan's house like an ordinary boy with a normal working mind. Power is everything in this world. And regardless of how much knowledge he had, it will be useless if he doesn't reach his full potential. He can't be complacent just because he had an arsenal of spells at his disposal. He was like a nuclear reactor without enough uranium to work properly. "Oh, so this is his house?" Mo Shen smiled the moment he saw the mansion. His eyes shine as if he had discovered a gold mine. As he approached the massive gate, he took note of the intricate details that adorned it. Th
