98: The Poisonous Beast King
"Heavenly Beast bloodline…"The words rolled through the chamber and Ken's mind went briefly, completely blank. The creature's golden eyes stayed locked on him, unblinking.Suzuki's grip tightened on her weapon. "What did it just say?"Ken couldn't answer, not with words, anyway. Inside his soul, the White Tiger cocoon had started trembling. Thump. Thump. Thump. He crushed his soul power flat before it could betray anything more."Don't respond to it," Mirinda said."Why not?""Because we don't know how much it can actually sense."Fair point. Maybe it had mistaken something else for a Heavenly bloodline. Maybe it knew exactly what it was looking at. Either way, confirming anything would be idiotic.Ken raised his weapon. "Everyone, get ready." Lu stepped up beside him. "Ready to attack?""No. Ready to not die."The giant creature shifted one massive leg, BOOM, and the injured beast in front of Ken let out a low growl. The golden eyes flicked to it."You. You stole what's mine."The b
95: The Beast That Ran
"Ken, don't!"Suzuki grabbed his arm before he could step into the deeper passage. Behind them the tunnel kept collapsing, BOOM, a slab of stone crashing down, dust rolling over the outer disciples as they scrambled back.Seven looked between Ken and the dark. "Whatever made that poison beast run isn't something we want to meet. We should leave.""I know.""Then why are your feet pointed the wrong way?" Seven threw his hands up. "'I know' isn't an answer, Ken, it's a stall tactic. You know plenty of things and do the opposite anyway."Ken almost smiled despite himself, eyes still fixed on the fading green glow ahead. "Because it was afraid.""So?""So a Level 28 Beast Master doesn't get afraid of anything in this part of the outer sect. That means something down there outranks it badly." He started walking. "I need to see what."Suzuki let go of his arm, only to plant herself in his path. "Then we're coming with you.""No.""You don't get to decide that alone.""I can survive longer d
96: The Flames and the Depths
The beast attacked again. Ken disappeared. "Thunder Step!"BOOM!The claw missed. Ken appeared beside its body and struck with his palm. "Thunder Palm!"BANG!Lightning exploded across the beast's armor, arcing along the scales in bright, furious lines. The beast barely moved.Ken's eyes narrowed. "Hard." The beast twisted its body. Its tail swept toward him in a blur.Ken raised both arms.BOOM!He was sent flying, the impact rattling every bone in his chest."Ken!" Suzuki's voice rang out, raw and sharp with something that went beyond concern.Ken crashed against the wall, chest tightening, and slid down several meters before landing hard. He coughed, tasting copper."I'm fine," he called, though his voice betrayed him with a wince."You are not fine, you absolute—" Suzuki bit off whatever she'd been about to say, hands white-knuckled against the shield's edge. "Get up. I refuse to explain this to the elders.""Worried about me or the paperwork?""Both. Mostly the paperwork.""Liar.
95: The Hundred Poisonous Eyes
The hundreds of green eyes opened at once.Ken's expression hardened. "Everyone, stop."The outer disciples froze mid-step, boots scraping to a halt against stone.The darkness ahead was filled with low growls. Something scraped against the tunnel wall, slow and deliberate, like claws testing the edge of a blade.Seven tightened his grip around his weapon. "How many?"Ken didn't answer immediately. He could feel them. Not dozens. Hundreds. And the poisonous aura coming from their bodies was far stronger than the insects they'd encountered earlier that morning.Mirinda's voice sounded inside his soul, low and urgent. "Don't fight them here."Ken's eyes narrowed. "Why?""Because the poison isn't the only thing you should fear.""That's helpful," Ken muttered under his breath. "Truly. A wealth of information.""I'm working with limited data, same as you.""You've been in my head for weeks and this is the best you've got?""Would you prefer I made something up to sound more impressive?"A
94: What the Dark Demands
Seven's face went pale. "That fast..."Ken stood slowly, staring down at the body. Until now, the journey had felt almost like an adventure — dangerous, but survivable, the kind of thing they'd laugh about later. Now everyone understood the truth. This was a place where people simply died, quickly and without ceremony.Ken looked at the dead disciple, then at the shaken group around him."From now on, nobody walks alone." His voice was firm, final. "Stay in groups of three."The disciples nodded. Nobody argued.Suzuki stepped close to him as the group reorganized, voice low. "You're blaming yourself.""I told them to move forward.""You told them staying still guaranteed nothing. You were right." Her eyes held his, steady despite the horror still hanging in the air. "Don't you dare carry this like it's yours to carry alone.""Someone has to.""Then let it be all of us. That's what together means, Ken — or did you forget the word the moment it became inconvenient?" There was real heat
93: The Journey Into the Outer Wilds
The darkness swallowed Ken completely.For several seconds, he couldn't feel his body. There was no ground. No sky. No sound. Only darkness.Then— Bang!Ken crashed onto something hard. Pain spread through his back. He opened his eyes."Ken!"Suzuki's voice came from nearby. Ken immediately sat up, and his vision slowly returned. They were no longer inside the Martial Hall. They had fallen into a massive underground chamber. Broken stone pillars surrounded them, and ancient formations covered the walls, faint light still pulsing along cracked grooves.Senior Lu was already standing, his Lion Martial Spirit circling behind him, restless. Seven and Lila were nowhere in sight.Ken looked toward Suzuki. "Are you injured?"She shook her head, rubbing her shoulder with a wince she tried to hide. "Only my shoulder. Nothing your reckless little rescue attempts haven't already bruised worse.""I didn't push you down here.""No, you just insisted on going first into every trap we've walked into
