Wang Chen trained for three years within the inheritance land, and now he had reached the early stage of the Martial Spirit Realm. At the same time, he had also become a Level 4 Rune Master.
There were nine levels for Rune Masters, from Level 1, the lowest, to Level 9, the highest. Levels one to three were considered the beginner stage of a Rune Master. At this stage, they could only draw Runes using special materials to create ink, then engrave those Runes onto objects. Levels four to six were the intermediate stage. A Rune Master at this level could already draw Runes using their own energy. Their energy itself would take the form of ink, which they could then use to draw Runes on specific mediums. As for levels seven to nine, these belonged to the advanced stage. A Rune Master at this level no longer required any medium at all. They could draw Runes directly in the air, creating various attacks or defenses. Now, Wang Chen was at Level Four, the intermediate stage, meaning he could already draw Runes using his own energy. And after these three years, Wang Chen was now facing a major problem. "Master..." Wang Chen could only fall silent as he looked at his master’s body, which had become extremely transparent, almost on the verge of disappearing. "Hah… I told you from the very beginning that I couldn’t last much longer. In this soul form, I can only use the Runes I created while I was still alive, and only within this inheritance land. But using those Runes requires sacrifice. I consume my soul power every single moment, and now the time has almost come." Ling Zhizun smiled gently, even though he did not have much time left. "It’s because of my fault—" "Wang Chen!" Ling Zhizun said in a raised voice. "Master does not want you to blame yourself! That will become a burden on your mind and heart, and it will hinder your growth in the future! Remember, everything I have done was Master’s own choice, and I had no other option. If you truly do not wish to disappoint Master, then erase all burdens from your heart and mind, and keep moving forward!" Yes, even if he had not trained Wang Chen, sooner or later his soul would still have dissipated. He was already content to have gained such a talented disciple like Wang Chen in the final moments of his existence. Wang Chen fell silent. He closed his eyes, engraving his master’s words deep into his heart as he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He repeated this several times before opening his eyes again, his expression instantly becoming firm and resolute. "Master, I will do my best and become the greatest Rune Master in the universe! As the disciple of Ling Zhizun, the God of Runes, I will not allow Master’s name to be ridiculed!" Wang Chen said with unwavering determination. "Hm, that’s more like my disciple." Ling Zhizun smiled proudly. "Very well, Wang Chen. This is the time for parting, so Master will give you a gift." "A gift?" "Yes, a gift that will save your life when you are in a life-threatening situation!" Ling Zhizun pointed at Wang Chen. At that moment, light burst forth from his index finger and struck Wang Chen’s forehead. Wang Chen felt a surge of power flowing through his body for several moments before it vanished without a trace, leaving him confused. "Wang Chen, struggle on!" Those were Ling Zhizun’s final words before his soul began to fade, eventually disappearing completely. Wang Chen watched in silence. He said nothing and showed no reaction of any kind, even though, deep within his heart, he was crying. He had lost everything—his family was dead, his home destroyed, his city reduced to ruins, the girl he loved had been kidnapped, and he had no idea what condition she was in now. And now, he had suffered another loss. Yet he did not show his grief. He stood tall with a firm expression, without the slightest hesitation on his face. He could control his emotions extremely well. "Master, watch me from above. Witness how your disciple climbs to heights that no one has ever reached before!" Wang Chen engraved this vow deep within his heart—a promise he would carry with him until death.Latest Chapter
Ch.41 -
Wang Chen became alert. His Qi had yet to fully recover; it had not completely returned since the battle against the Wolf King. He was also unable to use Rasenshuriken, as that technique required an enormous amount of Qi.‘This giant scorpion sensed the moment someone took the item it was guarding. That’s why it woke up immediately when I picked the poisonous herbal flower—even though I had already concealed my presence so well.’ Wang Chen snorted in irritation. He had been too careless earlier.He should have been patient and waited until his Qi had fully recovered before taking action. But it was already too late for regrets. There was no point dwelling on it now—he had to focus on the enemy before him.Wang Chen steadied himself and carefully observed the giant scorpion.The creature was clearly enraged, furious that the treasure it had been guarding had been stolen.From its mouth, the giant scorpion spat out thick, dark-purple liquid.Wang Chen instantly sensed danger from that p

“Hahaha… this is it—Rasenshuriken. No one can survive my Rasenshuriken!” Wang Chen felt extremely satisfied.Wang Chen had never thought that this dream of his would come true. He used to only fantasize about it, and now that the fantasy had become reality, it filled him with a unique sense of pride.He continued to stare at the white wind explosion with a wide smile. When the blast finally subsided, he walked toward the massive crater created by the Rasenshuriken.Looking down into the crater, Wang Chen saw the Wolf King lying dead, its body drenched in blood.“Haha, even the effects are exactly the same as I knew.” Wang Chen grinned.The Wolf King that had been struck by the technique looked as if it had been pierced by thousands of extremely thin needles repeatedly and without pause, completely severing and destroying all of its meridian pathways. Even a late-stage Martial King would inevitably end up critically injured—or even dead—if hit by that attack.Wang Chen panted heavily a
Ch.39 - Futon! Rasenshuriken!
Wang Chen was going to hunt Lightning Wolves that lived in the forest east of the Starry Sky Sect. The distance was quite far—it took two days of travel for Wang Chen to arrive there. And this journey was not done by walking. Wang Chen moved at high speed, faster than any of the fastest cars on Earth. He leapt from one tree to another while continuously scanning his surroundings, searching for traces of the Lightning Wolves. Soon, Wang Chen discovered a pack of wolves resting in the midday shade. Some were sleeping, while others were feeding on raw meat. They were Lightning Wolves. These Lightning Wolves had white fur and stood around two meters tall. Wang Chen could tell that their cultivation levels ranged from Core Formation to Martial Master. Lightning Wolves were known for their speed and agility—hence the name Lightning Wolves. Wang Chen smiled, then immediately took out his artifact weapon. The artifact was originally in the form of a sword, but it instantly transformed in
Ch.38 - First Mission
For two full days, Wang Chen trained a technique deep within the forest. Now, the forest where he had practiced was completely devastated. Many trees bore deep concave marks shaped like unique spirals, several had been uprooted and toppled over, and the ground was riddled with craters of various sizes. There was even a massive crater with a diameter of more than a hundred meters. Wang Chen was currently standing inside that enormous crater. It had been created by the technique he had practiced—no, the technique he had created himself. “Haaah… haah… haaah…” Wang Chen panted heavily from exhaustion. Yet despite his fatigue, his face was filled with satisfaction, a feeling he had never experienced before. Suddenly, Wang Chen burst into laughter like a madman. “Hahaha… I’ve mastered it! This isn’t a dream anymore! I can actually use that technique! Hahaha…!” This was a move he had dreamed of for a very long time. Although Wang Chen had imitated it from his idol, it could still be said
Ch.37 - Special Artifact
Wang Chen was currently in his residence. An outer disciple’s residence was only a small dwelling, but it was more than sufficient because it was fully equipped—with a kitchen, a dedicated cultivation room, a bedroom, a bathroom, and even a small library.Wang Chen was inside the cultivation room, not cultivating, but instead formulating poetic inscriptions to create an artifact. He had been working on this project ever since reaching fourth-tier Poetry Master, and he still hadn’t completed the formula, let alone begun crafting the artifact itself.Fortunately, his master had previously helped him with this idea and provided many suggestions, allowing Wang Chen to grasp the general outline of his goal.“Heheh, alright, one part is finished,” Wang Chen smiled after completing one section of the formula—but it was only about five percent. “Still, I haven’t put it into practice yet. I won’t know whether there are any mistakes until I actually do it.”Wang Chen realized that he had to sta
Ch.36 -
English Translation (clean, consistent novel style):---Wang Chen landed smoothly on the already ruined arena. He looked around, seeing everyone staring at him with terrified expressions.Wang Chen walked toward the referee, then took the betting money that had previously been given to the referee.“Hmph, trash,” a voice sounded from the crowd.Even though the voice was very faint, Wang Chen could hear it clearly. He immediately leapt and landed right in front of the person who had spoken.The man was stout, with a thin beard and mustache, and his expression was filled with arrogance.“Who are you? Were you the one who ordered Ju Sing to fight me?” Wang Chen became suspicious of this man, because he was not wearing the robe of a Bamboo Martial Court disciple. Moreover, his movements were clearly suspicious.From the beginning, Wang Chen had already suspected that Ju Sing had been instructed by someone to provoke him. Otherwise, when Chu Yan tried to stop them, Ju Sing would not have
