Chen Mo stopped running. His chest was heaving, his broken ribs screaming, his shredded arm hanging useless at his side. But he didn't care about any of that. He cared about the way Meng Yao's voice had gone so quiet. So careful. Like she was afraid of waking something up.
"What is it?"
She pointed into the fog. At first, he couldn't see anything. Just the endless wh

CHAPTER 50: THE TOURNAMENT'S PRICE
Chapter 50: The Tournament's Price"The tournament is a trap. You know that, don't you?"Chen Mo stood at the window of the Dean's study, his back to the ancient cultivator. Outside, the mountains stretched into infinity, their peaks lost in clouds of gold and crimson. The sun was setting. The world was burning."Of course I know," he said. "Everything is a trap. My clan. The Shadow Demon Sect. The Imperial Court." He turned to face the Dean. "The only difference is this time I'm walking into it with my eyes open.""You'll be exposed. The Imperial Inspector will be watching. The Emperor's agents will be everywhere. Every step you take will be scrutinized. Every move you make will be judged.""And if I win?""Then you'll have a single wish. A single chance to change your fate.""And her fate."The Dean nodded slowly. "
CHAPTER 49: THE DEAN'S RECOGNITION
The Dean's study was a tomb of forgotten things.Chen Mo stood in the center of the room, his scales still pulsing, his eyes still burning with golden fire. The old man had led him here without a word, his ancient footsteps echoing through the silent halls."Sit," the Dean said."I'd rather stand.""As you wish."The Dean lowered himself into a chair behind a massive desk covered in scrolls and artifacts. His eyes were old, ancient, filled with a wisdom that seemed to stretch back centuries. He studied Chen Mo for a long moment."Your bloodline," he said finally. "It's stronger than I expected.""You know about the bloodline?""I know about everything." The Dean gestured around the room. "Look around you, Chen Mo. What do you see?"Chen Mo looked. The study was filled w
CHAPTER 48: THE MASK FALLS
The first strike was a warning.Lu Feng's blade of light carved through the air, aimed directly at Chen Mo's throat. It was a perfect strike. Precise. Controlled. Designed to end the fight before it even began.Chen Mo didn't move. He just watched the blade approach. And then, at the last possible moment, he stepped aside."What?" Lu Feng's eyes went wide. "That's impossible.""Nothing is impossible."Chen Mo's fist connected with Lu Feng's ribs. The impact was brutal, sending the prodigy stumbling backward. The crowd gasped. The elders leaned forward in their seats."How did you..." Lu Feng gasped, clutching his side. "You're not even using cultivation!""I don't need to."The duel continued. Chen Mo moved like water, flowing around Lu Feng's attacks, striking when he was least expected. H
CHAPTER 47: THE CHALLENGE
The central plaza was packed.Thousands of students lined the edges, their voices a roaring wave of excitement and bloodlust. They had heard the rumors. The vagrant who broke the testing stone. The stranger who humiliated the elite students. The man who was going to fight their rank-one prodigy."Look at him," someone whispered. "He doesn't even look like a cultivator.""He's not. He's something else. Something dangerous.""He's going to get destroyed. Lu Feng hasn't lost a single match in three years.""Then why does he look so nervous?"Chen Mo stood at the edge of the plaza. His scales were hidden beneath fresh wraps. His Dragon-Spine was silent. He looked like nothing. A man in a sea of gods."He's waiting for you." A voice cut through the noise. "He wants to humiliate you in front of the entire Academy."
CHAPTER 46: THE SHATTERED STONE
"Step forward, applicant."Chen Mo's boots felt heavy on the stone floor. The testing chamber was vast, filled with rows of students and elders, their eyes fixed on him with varying degrees of curiosity and contempt. At the center of the room stood the spiritual testing stone, a massive obsidian pillar that pulsed with ancient power."Place your hand on the stone," the examiner said. "Do not resist. The stone will measure your potential.""I understand."Chen Mo stepped forward. His scales were hidden beneath layers of wraps. His Dragon-Spine was suppressed. He looked like nothing. An ordinary man in a room full of gods."Wait." A voice cut through the silence. "Before we begin, I want to know who he is. Where he came from. Why he's here."Chen Mo turned to see a tall, arrogant student in pristine white robes. His eyes were cold, calculating, fi
CHAPTER 45: THE TESTING GROUNDS
The first blow shattered his ribs.Chen Mo hit the ground hard, his vision swimming, his lungs burning. The arena around him was massive, filled with hundreds of cheering students, their voices a roaring wave of sound that crashed against his skull."Get up!" someone shouted. "Get up, you coward!""Look at him! He can barely stand!""What's he even doing here? He's not a real cultivator!"Chen Mo forced himself to his knees. His scales were dim, hidden beneath the heavy wraps the Grand Physician had given him. His Dragon-Spine was silent, suppressed by sheer willpower. He looked like nothing. An ordinary man in an arena filled with gods."Get up!" the announcer called. "Your opponent is waiting!"He looked across the arena. His opponent was a massive young man, his muscles bulging with spiritual power, his eyes
