2025-01-01 16:37:06"Wind Sword Slash!" exclaimed an 8-year-old boy, encouraging himself amid sword practice.
He trains in a mini bamboo forest behind the Wudang Sect.
The little boy was named Eadric Rong.
The mini bamboo forest is part of the territory of the Wudang Sect, one of the strongest sects in the Wriston Kingdom.
Since this morning, Eadric Rong had been engrossed in practicing the sword technique known as the Nine Steps of the Wind Sword, a basic technique that all disciples in the Wudang Sect must master. However, Eadric Rong's physical condition was pitiful.
Since childhood, he never had any power in his body. Eadric Rong was born without the Pearl Core, the energy-gathering source at the center of the human body that is necessary for anyone who wants to pursue the path of cultivation and martial arts.
Without the Pearl Core, even if he had practiced the sword for a thousand years, all those moves would only have looked beautiful but would have been powerless.
Eadric Rong can be said to have been born with a congenital disability and was destined to be an ordinary person for the rest of his life.
By now, the sun was overhead. Sweat had drenched Eadric Rong's body, yet he had not stopped training.
"I have to keep trying. Even if I don't have pure air, at least practicing swordplay like this will have benefits later on!" thought Eadric Rong with determination.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted his training. "You're wasting your time practicing that kind of sword training. You'll only be wasting time swinging your sword, consuming the sect's resources while your body produces no pure air! Your movements are beautiful but meaningless!"
Eadric Rong was startled. He didn't want to look back to find out who was speaking. Without looking, he knew it must be Malakai Yan's voice. Malakai Yan was the only child of the deputy leader of the Wudang Sect, older than Eadric Rong.
Despite being 11 years old, he loved to bully Eadric Rong. In addition to the abuse and ridicule he had been subjected to, Eadric Rong had also been beaten to a pulp several times by Malakai Yan, all because of his inability to gather pure air while practicing martial arts.
Continuing to swing his sword in beautiful movements, Eadric Rong pretended not to care. "Hey, Eadric Rong, are you deaf? I've called you several times, but you pretend not to listen!" shouted Malakai Yan angrily. At this moment, Malakai Yan was sitting on the numerous rocky boulders at the back of the sect.
The Wudang Sect is located in Wudang Mountain, a mountain range on the Western side of the Wriston Kingdom. Seeing the unconcerned Eadric Rong practicing swordplay down there, an 8-year-old girl named Judith Tang heated Malakai Yan.
"Alright, Big Brother Wei, why don't you hit him? This Eadric Rong has no shame, still insisting on practicing swordplay when he doesn't have a Pearl Core. All the sect's resources are just going to waste!"
At that moment, Malakai Yan jumped off the rock he was sitting on, now about ten steps away from where Eadric Rong was practicing the sword. The swishing sound of the wooden sword could still be heard as Eadric Rong swung the wooden sword.
"Alright, let's beat him up as usual!" Another little boy's voice joined in, following the crowd. His name was Teddy Huo, and he was 10 years old. Malakai Yan, Judith Tang, and Teddy Huo were three friends. They loved to bully Eadric Rong.
As Eadric Rong continued to engage in sword practice, there was a sudden whistle, followed by a fist attack from Malakai Yan. "Fool! I'm still insisting on practicing martial arts! Today, I'll break your hand!"
According to the Swallow Striking Technique, Malakai Yan appeared to leap beautifully in a body-lightening motion. His hands formed a fist called the Lightning Fist. Although he was still young, Malakai Yan's fists were already capable of crushing goat-sized rocks.
"Feel the blow!" shouted Judith Tang without pity when she saw Malakai Yan's body flashing with the sound of fists like running water. "He's dead, at least maimed for life!" hissed Teddy Huo with sparkling eyes.
For some reason, this group of three children hated Eadric Rong so much. Eadric Rong had never done anything wrong to them—the desire to oppress the weak seeped into the children's souls.
The principle may have influenced this in the Kingdom of Wriston: "Stay strong and mighty, for the strong will oppress the weak!"
As the four pairs of eyes waited for Eadric Rong to be knocked down by Malakai Yan's Lightning Fist, suddenly, something strange happened. Eadric Rong spun the wooden sword in his hand with an agile and highly nimble movement. The sound of the sword squeaked as if it possessed the power of pure air.
"This - this... how did it happen? Isn't he unable to gather pure air?" cried Judith Tang and Teddy Huo simultaneously.
However, something interesting happened to Malakai Yan. When the tip of Eadric Rong's sword turned, magically like the style of a swordplay expert, Eadric Rong shifted the direction of the wooden blade. Suddenly, the sword's movement locked onto Malakai Yan's chest.
"Wretch! How can he be this strong?" Malakai Yan complained softly.
Boxing and swords are two different techniques. Fists rely on short distances, while swords from longer distances. Of course, before the Lightning Fist struck Eadric Rong, the tip of the wooden sword had first stabbed into Malakai Yan's chest.
Boom!
Malakai Yan was pushed back and fell, rolling over from losing balance. Judith Tang and Teddy Huo were wide-eyed in disbelief. "Could it be that this Eadric Rong has the movement speed of a swordsman who has practiced for decades?"

As the secret door opened, Ning Xueyi was about to push the door when Yun Feiyang's figure suddenly appeared from behind it.“Yun Feiyang! You were also called to the dungeon?” Ning Xueyi asked, her voice full of displeasure. For a long time, she had competed with Yun Feiyang and Lei Xinghan to be the best in the Scarlet Sky Sect.But Yun Feiyang didn't greet her, just glared at her sarcastically.A moment later, thinking of Yun Feiyang coming out of the dungeon, the girl's heart was filled with envy.

In the Dungeon.
The Scarlet Sky Sect used to be unknown in the Longhai Continent. Although their leader, An Lushan, was ranked among the top ten Grandmasters in the martial world, the achievements of his disciples were far from brilliant.Among the thousands of disciples, only three were considered the most talented: Yun Feiyang, Lei Xinghan, and the only female disciple, Ning Xueyi.However, even though they were the best in the sect, when compared to the geniuses of other great sects, they would feel ashamed. Their cultivation, unfortunately, was still considered mediocre.However, something extraordinary happened not long ago.One night, under the dim light of an oil lamp, An Lushan held a secret meeting with his three disciples in the sect's closed chamber. There, one by one, they were called in for questioning.“Yun Feiyang, do you know why I called you?” An Lushan’s voice was cold and oppressive.“Please, Sect Leader. Disciple did not know,” Yun Feiyang replied in a trembling voice.An Lushan s
The End of the Long Journey.
As the shout of “Sword Palace” resounded, an ancient rainbow-colored domain instantly appeared, replacing Madam Yinfeng’s rolling black smoke.Instantly, all the spectators were plunged into a deep sense of terror, witnessing the Sword Palace—a world of swords full of mystery and power.At the same time, they watched with their eyes wide as balls, as one by one the eight Grand Masters were thrown out from within the Sword Domain, in an extremely disfigured state.The faces of the Grand Masters looked pale.Their clothes were in tatters, showing signs of severe defeat. All of them showed expressions of fear after being thrown out of the Sword Palace.

When the wind blew hard, it quickly dispersed the black clouds on the horizon
Chapter 286, Sword Palace Again.
Madam Yinfeng is a female cultivator who ranks as a Four Grandmaster in the martial world, coming from the famous Hehuan Sect.This Hehuan Sect, although often considered a heretical sect, actually has a more complex nuance; not all experts of this sect harbor evil intentions in their hearts.The Hehuan Sect was dubbed heretical by the general public because they apply a unique principle in their cultivation system, known as cooperative cultivation or dual cultivation.This system is considered indecent by cultivators who adhere to clean streams.In practice, male and female couples are allowed to sleep together, so that they can gather Qi energy instantly through the process of joint cultivation.This method obviously benefits both parties and greatly accelerates the progress in a practitioner's cultivation.Due to her diligent practice of this controversial technique, Madam Yinfeng has a youthful appearance, even though she is now approaching fifty years old. Her skin is still firm
The Beating of the Seven Grand Masters
All the true energy he had exerted seemed to have disappeared into thin air, like a stone sinking without a trace into the ocean. Cold sweat ran down his forehead.He tried to analyze what was happening, why his energy was being sucked into this fragile priest, but in two blinks of an eye found no answer.Meanwhile, the thousands of pairs of eyes watching the fight from all directions-from alleys to rooftops-clearly saw the terrifying effects of the fight.The wind began to swirl, slowly but surely, from Monk Huicheng's body into the Taoist Priest's body through the palm of the hand still pressed against the priest's chest. It was clearly the flow of Monk Huicheng's true energy being sucked in by the fragile Priest.The sound of the roaring wind grew louder and louder, shaking the atmosphere.One of the spectators, a mid-level cultivator, whispered to his companion with a pale face. "What kind of demon science is that Daoist Priest using? How can he absorb the true energy of Monk Huic
