Three days passed in the silence of the Beast Forest.Under the shadows of an old tree, Xiao Chen exhaled deeply. His chest rose and fell, while sweat covered his entire body.He finally stopped the series of physical exercises that had drained almost all of his remaining strength.For three full days, Xiao Chen had forced his body to continue being tempered without rest. He repeated the same movements, forcing his muscles, bones, and meridians to work until they approached their limits.However, reality was not as simple as he had imagined.Breaking through the limit of the second body-tempering cycle was far more difficult than he had expected.Xiao Chen stood still while regulating his breathing. His gaze then fell upon his own hands.His physical structure had previously undergone an extraordinary transformation thanks to the energy of the Fire Phoenix Fruit.His bones had turned a golden-red color, while his skin had hardened like steel. The physical strength stored within his bo

A gentle forest breeze blew, carrying a refreshing coolness among the dense trees of the Beast Forest.Xiao Chen stood several steps away from Ye Yuan. After discussing the massacre of the Blood Wolf Gang and the Ye Clan’s announcement, there was still a sense of curiosity lingering in his mind.“Uncle Ye,” Xiao Chen finally spoke, his tone hesitant. “Regarding the Ye Clan’s announcement calling you back… what is your attitude toward it?”Ye Yuan snorted softly.His expression instantly turned cold. He folded his arms across his chest and looked straight toward the trees in front of him.“Return?”The corner of Ye Yuan’s lips lifted into a mocking smile.“They drove me out like useless trash all those years ago. I became a stray dog with nowhere to return to, and now they want me to go back simply because they have encountered some trouble?”Ye Yuan chuckled briefly. His gaze was filled with undisguised disdain.“Don’t even dream about it.” He shook his head firmly.“I will never be t

Xiao Chen traveled toward the Beast Forest at full speed.After leaving the gates of the Sky Sword Academy, he immediately utilized his movement technique. His figure shot along the path between the dense trees, leaving behind the sound of rustling leaves.The farther Xiao Chen ventured into the forest, the quieter his surroundings became. The sunlight that had previously filtered through the gaps between the trees gradually dimmed as a thin mist began to shroud the path.About half a day later, Xiao Chen finally arrived at the secluded area where Ye Yuan usually stayed.He slowed his steps before entering the place.There had been no significant changes since the last time he came here. The large rocks were still in their places, while the flat stone they usually used for training still stood in the middle of the open area.Near the stone, an old man dressed in simple robes was practicing.Every one of his movements appeared calm, yet there was hidden power behind them. There were no

The morning sunlight had just begun reflecting off the tiled roof of the Northern Pavilion when Xiao Chen stepped through its wooden gate.Inside the quiet pavilion, surrounded by clusters of green bamboo, the morning air felt much cooler than the residential area of the outer courtyard. A gentle breeze stirred the bamboo leaves, creating a soothing rustling sound.Near a stone table beneath the shade of the trees, Elder Gong Bodong was already sitting alone. A teapot rested on the table, while his hand slowly raised a warm cup to his lips.Hearing approaching footsteps, Gong Bodong lowered his cup and raised his head.A faint smile appeared on his face when he saw Xiao Chen entering the courtyard.“You came right on time, Xiao Chen,” Elder Gong said as he pointed toward the stone chair opposite him. “Sit.”Xiao Chen stopped several meters from the table, then clasped his hands respectfully. “Greetings, Master.”After receiving Gong Bodong’s nod, he walked closer and sat down calmly.

Blow after blow from the heavy hammer that Ma Xiong brought down upon the iron anvil continued to draw Xiao Chen’s attention.“Dang!”The clanging of metal that had previously sounded like ordinary noise gradually transformed in Xiao Chen’s ears into a rhythm that was orderly and filled with meaning.His gaze never left Ma Xiong’s every movement.Every time the hammer struck the surface of the metal, Xiao Chen observed the direction of the blow, the amount of force used, and the changes in the material’s shape.Glowing sparks flew into the air.The metal, which had initially been red, gradually became brighter when it was placed back into the furnace.From red, it turned orange, then approached a brilliant white.After reaching a certain level of heat, Ma Xiong lifted it from the furnace and struck it again with his hammer.Dang!Dang!Dang!Not a single blow was delivered carelessly.Ma Xiong seemed to know exactly which part needed to be struck, when to change direction, and when to

The basic swordsmanship class that day was opened by Instructor Han Wei with a review of the theories of posture stability and breathing that were already familiar to the disciples.It did not take Han Wei long to finish presenting the material. Most of the disciples could even remember nearly all of his explanations from the previous lesson.After making sure there were no important questions from the disciples, Han Wei continued with several basic instructions before the class finally approached its end.However, just before dismissing the class, the instructor suddenly offered a piece of advice that immediately caught Xiao Chen’s attention.“If you truly want to understand the sword, don’t just practice with the sword in your hand,” Han Wei said while looking at all the disciples. “Occasionally, go to the academy’s weapon-forging hall.”Several disciples exchanged glances. They looked slightly surprised to hear such advice.Han Wei smiled faintly before continuing, “You may think t
