2024-05-07 20:17:56The gentle sound of the Silverwater River echoed through the tranquil hamlet of Riverbend as the morning sun cast its golden rays upon the sleepy village.
The river's surface shimmered with the soft light, its gentle currents weaving a mesmerizing dance as they flowed towards the distant horizon.
Nestled on the banks of the Silverwater River.
Riverbend Hamlet was a quaint and picturesque village, its rustic charm accentuated by the natural beauty that surrounded it.
Wooden cottages with thatched roofs lined the cobblestone streets, their colorful flower gardens blooming with vibrant hues.
The scent of freshly baked bread wafted through the air, mingling with the earthy aroma of the nearby forest.
Birds chirped merrily in the trees, their cheerful melodies adding to the peaceful ambiance of the hamlet.
Sir Elias Hawthorne stirred from his slumber in his cozy abode on the outskirts of the village.
The morning sunlight streaming through the windows and casting a warm glow upon the wooden beams of his home.
Beside him, Oasis lay sleeping soundly, his breathing steady and peaceful.
With a soft sigh, Sir Elias rose from his bed and made his way to the window, gazing out at the tranquil scene unfolding before him.
The village was beginning to stir to life, villagers going about their daily routines with a sense of quiet contentment.
As Sir Elias watched the hustle and bustle of the hamlet below, a sense of anticipation stirred within him.
Today marked the beginning of a new chapter in Oasis's journey, and Sir Elias was determined to make it count.
With a sense of purpose, Sir Elias set about preparing for the day ahead.
He gathered his belongings and roused Oasis from his slumber, gently shaking him awake.
"Rise and shine, young Oasis," Sir Elias called out with a warm smile. "We have a journey ahead of us, and it's time to get moving."
As Oasis blinked away the remnants of sleep and stretched his limbs, Sir Elias continued,
"By the time you're fully awake, I've already packed our supplies. We're setting out on a new adventure today."
Confusion flickered in Oasis's eyes as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.
"But I thought we were supposed to start training today," he said, his voice tinged with uncertainty.
"Don't worry, my boy," Sir Elias reassured him, clapping a hand on his shoulder.
"Our training is about to get much more serious. In fact, it's about to become a journey of its own."
As Oasis processed Sir Elias's words, a sense of excitement began to bubble within him.
"Where are we going?" he asked eagerly, anticipation shining in his eyes.
Sir Elias chuckled softly, a twinkle of mischief dancing in his gaze.
"Ah, now that's a surprise," he replied cryptically.
"But first, we have a stop to make before we begin our training in earnest."
As Sir Elias and Oasis stepped out onto the bustling streets of Riverbend Hamlet.
They were greeted by the warm morning sun and the cheerful hustle and bustle of the villagers going about their daily routines.
Passing by the wooden cottages and colorful flower gardens, they exchanged greetings with familiar faces along the way.
The baker waved from his shop doorway.
The aroma of freshly baked bread wafting through the air, while the blacksmith nodded in acknowledgment as he hammered away at his latest creation.
Near the edge of the village, they encountered the fisherman who had found Oasis unconscious by the riverbank not long ago.
He approached with a broad smile, gratitude shining in his eyes as he clasped Oasis's hand in a firm handshake.
"I'm glad to see you up and about, lad," the fisherman said warmly. "You had us worried there for a moment. But it looks like you're back to your old self again."
Oasis returned the fisherman's smile, gratitude flooding his heart for the kindness and concern shown by the villagers.
"Thank you," he replied earnestly. "I'm feeling much better now, thanks to your timely help."
As they continued on their way, they passed through the bustling market square, where vendors hawked their wares and villagers gathered to socialize and barter for goods.
One of the villagers, a kind-hearted woman with a basket of fresh produce, approached Oasis with a warm smile.
"Good morning, young lad," she greeted him cheerfully.
"I heard you're setting off on a journey today. Here, take some fruits and bread for the road."
"It's not much, but it'll keep you fueled and nourished on your travels."
Oasis accepted her offering with gratitude, touched by her generosity.
"Thank you so much," he said sincerely. "This means a lot to me."
As they bid farewell to the villagers and made their way out of Riverbend Hamlet.
Sir Elias couldn't help but reflect on the sense of community and camaraderie that permeated the small village.
It was a place where neighbors looked out for one another, where kindness and compassion were woven into the fabric of everyday life.
The memory of receiving the news about the upcoming Whispering Exam flooded Sir Elias's mind.
It had been just the night before, as they entered their abode and prepared for rest after his moment with Oasis by the river bank.
As they settled in, one of the villagers had approached them with urgency, delivering the news about the exam that would take place in nine months' time.
Sir Elias had listened intently, his mind already racing with thoughts of how this would impact Oasis's training.
Now, as they walked along the familiar paths leading out of the hamlet, Sir Elias couldn't shake the weight of responsibility that settled upon his shoulders.
The upcoming exam meant that Oasis's training would need to be intensified, his skills honed to perfection in preparation for the challenges that lay ahead.
"I must take Oasis's training more seriously," Sir Elias muttered to himself, his voice barely audible above the gentle rustle of the trees.
"If he is to participate in the Whispering Exam, he needs to be prepared for anything. By the time the exam starts, Oasis would already be 8."
Oasis glanced up at Sir Elias, sensing the gravity of his words. "Is everything alright, Sir Elias?" he asked, concern etched into his features.
Sir Elias nodded, a determined expression crossing his face.
"Yes, everything is fine, Oasis," he replied, his tone firm.
"But from now on, your training will become more focused and rigorous. We have a goal to work towards, and I intend to see you reach it."

Chapter 225: Scorching Revenge.
Oasis’s aura shimmered like a beacon beneath the moonlight, radiating waves of ethereal heat and power. The silver glow of the moon should have cast long, tranquil shadows, but instead, it bent around him—warped by the pressure exuding from his body. The soft sand trembled at his feet, and the surrounding mist danced violently as if retreating in fear. His azure eyes, glowing with fierce determination, reflected the cyan inferno within him. The wind stilled. The world held its breath.Barnabus, towering and broad like a mountain of muscle, opened his mouth wide in defiance. “Heavenly Dem—”**Thud!!!**Before he could finish, Oasis vanished from view—then appeared in front of his face. His fist, packed with aura might, smashed directly into Barnabus's cheekbone with a dull, bone-crunching impact that echoed across the beach. The massive man was launched backward like a cannonball, but Oasis caught his leg mid-air—his slender fingers burning into the flesh like molten steel.A s
Chapter 223: Tale of bitter memories.
"It finally subsided… well done, Venak," Oasis thought, few meters away, yet locked in a brutal clash of wills. His cyan aura shimmered intensely as he caught Barnabus’s massive bludgeon with both bare hands, stopping it mid-swing. Sparks scattered from the impact, the force creating a small crater beneath his boots.Barnabus staggered back a step, breathing heavily, blood oozing from his cracked lips and missing teeth.Oasis spun back.Barnabus spat thick red saliva to the side. “It seems Delva has fallen…” he muttered, and then barked out, voice gritty, “You’ve got a steady pack, boy. My lifelong comrades… reduced to corpses.”He grinned wide, a twisted, broken thing. “You won’t have an easy death, brat.”Oasis’s eyes narrowed. The temperature around him subtly rose.His aura flickering like flames , alive.“I don’t even know you,” Barnabus continued, shifting slightly and adjusting the front of his trousers without shame. “And you don’t look like anyone I’ve killed—or fucked
Chapter 222: Crimson Phantom blade- Venak Zephyrine.
Lub-Dub!!! Lub-Dub!!! Lub-Dub!!!Each thud of heartbeat thundered across the desolate battlefield like war drums echoing from the underworld."Crimson Phantom Veil: Bloodmist Rebirth," Venak whispered.And then—in a heartbeat—the air shifted.WHOOMPH.Crimson mist erupted outward like a living wave, devouring the surroundings in a sea of red. The ground hissed, reacting to the corrosive presence. The mist pulsed in rhythm with Venak’s heartbeat, thickening and swirling in waves that sent eerie echoes through the field. Each beat sounded like it came from every direction, an oppressive thrum that sank into the bones of all who heard it.A low murmur passed through the watching demons in delva's head. Even Delva, seasoned and twisted by countless battles, hesitated as an demonic instinct screamed danger."That smell… scorched blood and embers," one demon whispered, eyes wide."No… something's wrong… that mist—it's alive," another muttered, voice trembling.Suddenly, the blade lo
Chapter 221: Phantom Blade-Venak Zephyrine.
The moon hung low over the small, craggy island, its pale light reflecting off black water and thick mist that drifted like restless spirits. The land was uneven—sharp rocks jutting from sand and earth, skeletal trees clawing at the sky, and the distant rumble of waves crashing into jagged cliffs.Amidst this eerie setting, two figures faced each other—one shrouded in ghostly mist, the other cloaked in the stench of blood and malevolence.“Kid,” the bandit spat, pulling a bloodstained sleeve from his belt and tying it tightly around his forehead like a warband, “you’ve pushed your luck. What impact do you think you have here? You just separated yourself from the others... just to be slaughtered.”He stood some distance away from the rest of the scuffle, facing Venak Zephyrine across the ashen clearing. His’s scarred face twisted into a smirk, his yellowed teeth glinting like a predator savoring the kill. Around them, fog curled in closer, thickening the air with tension.Venak exha
Chapter 220: Meng Mystic Arts: Lotus Bloom of Endless Mirrors.
The runes engraved on Venak, Lianhua, Kael, and Rennet shimmered brilliantly as the venomous orange mist—deadly to almost all forms of life—was repelled from their skin like oil from a lotus leaf. The mystical sigils pulsed with defensive energy, their bodies untouched by the corrosive haze that devoured flesh and bone just moments earlier.Venak's expression remained still, but his eyes flicked to Shiye in acknowledgment. “He is truly a child from the Du family,” Venak thought, pivoting on his heel as he moved to secure the right flank, cloak trailing behind him with speed and purpose.Kael stepped to the left flank, cracking his knuckles. “It’s been a while since I saw Shiye fight… and his poison art has reached this point?” Kael mused, eyes narrowing. “He really has been working hard.”But even with thirty enemies decimated, more came pushing through the dispersing mist.“Ravenblood Shadow Arts: Murder of Echoes!” Rennet cried, her vermilion aura exploding around her as she cro
Chapter 219: Moonlit Bloom: Embrace of Eternal Rest!.
Later…The orange sun dipped beneath the horizon, casting long streaks of crimson and violet across the ocean sky. The ship cut across darkening waves with a steady hum, the sails catching the cold wind that swept in from the eastern waters. Standing at the prow of the ship, Oasis and the five others faced forward, their silhouettes still against the roaring sea breeze. A stormy gray hue cloaked the clouds above, and the air had a bite of salt and tension—as if the ocean held its breath.Beyond the thinning mist, an island came into view—its jagged cliffs were framed in shadow, and black trees stretched like skeletal fingers toward the sky. Something about the place radiated malevolence.Suddenly, Oasis’s aura began to pulse. First subtle, with flickering hues dancing like fireflies, then fierce—waves of cyan light shimmered around him as embers ignited midair, flashing like the breath of a dormant phoenix awakening. His smirk deepened, and heat began to radiate from his body in
Chapter 218: Meal and Strategy.
The morning greeted the ship with a sullen sky, thick with steel-colored clouds rolling above the calm ocean. A steady breeze rippled across the waves, adding a bite of cold to the air. The ocean seemed subdued under the gray light, with no sun piercing through the heavy clouds. Gulls wheeled quietly overhead, their cries muffled by the wind. A dense mist clung low to the waters, veiling the horizon in mystery, while the wooden hull of the ship creaked faintly beneath the rhythmic lapping of waves.Inside the ship’s main cabin, the warmth of a hearth and the aroma of hot broth offered some comfort against the morning chill. Oasis and his five companions sat around a circular wooden table, steam rising from clay bowls filled with spiced fish stew, roasted yams, and preserved fruits.The food had been prepared by the dedicated kitchen crew assigned by Lady Sythra—disciples and handmaids trained not just in service but also in light cultivation, skilled in sustaining those on long v
Chapter 217: Rennet and Oasis.
The ocean stretched endlessly beneath a canopy of stars, the moon casting its pale glow over gently cresting waves. The ship glided across the dark waters, its sails filled with a steady wind, whispering like ancient lullabies.The scent of brine hung in the cool night air, mingling with the rhythmic creak of wood and the occasional call of a distant seabird. Lanterns hung from the ship’s sides swayed softly, their golden light dancing across the polished deck in wavering patterns. The atmosphere was tranquil, almost sacred—the sort of calm that cloaked danger or deep thought.Near the prow, Oasis sat cross-legged in the lotus position, eyes fixed on the distant horizon as though peering beyond the night itself. The moonlight outlined his silhouette sharply, wind teasing strands of his dark hair, his breathing slow and even. The ship cut silently across the water, yet his mind stirred with echoes of the past."Mmh… why was I even recalling the previous five years?" Oasis thought
Chapter 216: Breakthrough
Two Years Before Oasis Entered Seclusion.Starport – Lunaris Sect, Conri’s Private Training CourtyardUnder the cool shade of an ancient spirit oak, Oasis and Conri sat cross-legged in serene silence, the gentle wind stirring the leaves above them. A warm halo of mana hung in the air, mingling with the scent of pine and spirit blossoms. The training courtyard, nestled deep within the Lunaris Sect’s sacred grounds, was quiet—save for the occasional chirp of mystic birds.Conri exhaled softly, his sharp eyes studying the boy before him.“It seems you’ve learned a lot in the past three years, Oasis,” he said with a calm yet proud tone. “You’ve already become a three-circled mage, even though your cultivation realm hasn't advanced much.""For someone your age, that's no small feat. It’s the mark of a true prodigy.”“It is thanks to your guidance, Master,” Oasis replied with deep respect, his hands clasped in a formal bow.Conri nodded slowly. “From sparring with you… from observing yo
