2025-06-19 09:45:38When Lu Zheng woke up in reality, he was assaulted by searing pain, escaping a grunting noise from his mouth.
He quickly tried to suppress the noise to avoid alerting the person inside, who he wanted to take revenge on, who was supposed to be his benefactor.
Soon, he felt numb all over his body, as he could not even find the energy to move his limbs.
He gritted his lips, attempting to awaken every fiber of his being as he searched for the corpse he killed not long ago.
To receive the mysterious voice’s blessings, he only had a simple task.
Stab his nails to the corpse.
Such a simple task yet appeared to be so difficult.
His blurry eyes swept to his surroundings, determining the position of the corpse based on what he remembered.
Finally, he could somewhat assume what he was seeing through his blurry vision was a corpse.
Hence, he moved his arms, but it only trembled before it froze.
Lu Zheng was furious.
How could his body fail to listen to his command?
However, he also acknowledged the fact it was suffering from the unknown poison.
He now had no choice but to forcefully move it.
‘Move! Move! Move!!!’
He kept screaming in his thoughts as he stared at his arms, which were quivering after he was trying to move them.
He exhaled and relaxed his muscles for a moment before taking a deep breath and attempting to move his arms again.
His face reddened, and so was his bulging cheeks, full of oxygen, as he was trying to move his arm.
Finally, he lifted his arms a milliliter from the ground, but it soon fell.
He gasped for breath.
‘For my sake. Move!’
He attempted once again, now veins popping out of his forehead.
He felt the adrenaline rush, discerning the energy returning to his body.
The body heard the distress call of its owner and thus did not hesitate to move its limbs.
Lu Zheng was supposed to smile in delight, but his face continued to contort in anger.
He was furiously trying to crawl towards the corpse, with his thoughts swallowed by the unending desire to take revenge.
For himself, for his mother, for his clan.
He recalled the time he made friends in a year.
They were just a child, playing innocently, proving who was better by fists, being scolded by the instructor, and making enemies with other groups of children.
He could remember his brothers, but he had a feeling that they had long ceased to exist.
After all, a single sight of an Azure Tide Clan’s disciples was quickly killed.
He knew too well the temperament of his brothers, the same as him, hot-blooded and too attached, especially to their clan.
If he was thinking and feeling the same thing as them, they should have long attempted to take revenge.
But with their meager strength?
It was futile against a clan that ruled a middle-sized city.
They might be able to kill one, two, or three external disciples by themselves, but would they be able to fight against tens, hundreds, or even a thousand of them?
No!
Hence, he knew that only through time and patience could he be able to take revenge.
It would only be feasible if he obtained the treasures of the clan.
However, he was betrayed.
He was too foolish to think he could still trust someone.
The world was too cruel.
He now believed there was no one, not anyone in this world, who would help someone without gaining benefits.
After all, would his supposed benefactor help him if it were not for the treasures of his clan?
Lu Zheng would not have suffered in the current circumstances.
He would have been smiling from ear to ear as he collected the treasure of the clan and cultivated it to become stronger, proving that the impossible could be possible through hard work.
As a result, he would have been able to repay the favor his benefactor did to him.
Such a future materialized in his head before coming here.
However, who would have thought…
“Who would have thought?” Lu Zheng barely mumbled those sentences as he gritted his teeth, crawling near the corpse.
When he finally arrived in front of it, he arduously raised his arm, his hand turned into a claw, as he growled.
‘Who would have thought that it was nothing but a fantasy?!’ He screamed in his mind as he could not dare make any noise.
At the same time, he did not hesitate to stab four of his nails into the arms of a fresh corpse.
As if he was not satisfied, he also pierced the nail on his thumb on the arm, closed his eyes, and thought,
‘Sir! I have finished the task you have given to me. Please give me power!’

Meanwhile, inside the consciousness of Lu Zheng, the mysterious voice had his full face shrouded by darkness.
He was closing his eyes while there was a projection in front of him, appearing like a film, playing the memories that Lu Zheng manifested as he was crawling.
Despite closing his eyes, the mysterious voice was aware of it, as he did not even need to open his eyes to watch it.
He only needed to feel it.
Soon, he received the call of Lu Zheng, and his thin, crimson eyes, like a predator, slowly opened.
Finally, apart from his eyes, there was a yellow curve opening upward.
There were four canine teeth, with two each from above and below inside the yellow curve.
A trace of a cold smile appeared on his shrouded face.
Suddenly, his body, which had not been blurred completely, saw a trace of his arm motioning to raise his hand.
The crimson sky brightly lit his hand, showing its cold-white skin as though it was lacking any blood.
Furthermore, his nails were yellow and long, with each end as sharp.
He pointed his index finger to the projection, and the world inside the consciousness trembled.

Baiyan
When Lu Zheng was actually about to call him, he felt lost.He had forgotten the most important thing.Naming him!He scratched his cheeks with his left hand after trying to do so with his right hand that was actually missing.He tilted his head sideways, contemplating deeply.The Whiteflame Cub was staring at him, a bit confused, waiting for his master to respond.At the same time, Lu Zheng went back to the dictionary he used to read back in the clan.In a minute, his eyes finally lit up.He glanced at the Whiteflame Cub and said, “Baiyan. Your name is Baiyan, which means White Flame. Do you like it?”The Whiteflame Cub, or better call it by its name Baiyan, roared in excitement.He nodded his head vigorously.He said through telepathy, “Thank you, Master! I am Baiyan. Baiyan!”Lu Zheng smiled and said, “That’s right, Baiyan. Your name is Baiyan.”Baiyan stood up and jumped out of his legs, circling around in the soil.He said, jumping from time to time, “I am Baiyan. I am Baiyan!”L
Pills Effeciency
When the sun was about to set, only then Lu Zheng felt his stamina return.Staying in the same position would have numbed his butt and legs, but with the Wave Breathing, it kept his blood flow as natural as he was moving.In the past two hours, Lu Zheng did not think of anything. He simply swung his right elbow from time to time, getting used to the absence of his right hand.At the same time, not only was his mind trying to get accustomed to the absence, but also his emotional state, too.It would be a lie if his mental and emotional state did not improve significantly for the past two hours.After all, accepting he was now crippled was difficult and it would take some time.Finally, before the sun was about to set, he glanced at it and pondered, “I deserve it, right? The beautiful sun sets.”Ravyn said, “You’re being philosophical now, huh? Doofus? Should I call you Confucius?”Lu Zheng frowned and shook his head.He did not even know who or what Ravyn meant.He went quiet but Ravyn
Whiteflame Cub Obtained!
The Whiteflame Cub enjoyed Lu Zheng’s patting.Lu Zheng suddenly stopped and the Whiteflame Cub stared at him weirdly.Lu Zheng was currently communicating with Ravyn.He asked, “So, what’s next?”Ravyn snorted. “Go and figure it out yourself.”Lu Zheng rolled his eyes and did not mind.Of course, he was a bit suspicious that Ravyn might really not know and just refused to answer it.Ravyn rolled his eyes and said, “Cursed me again and I won’t help you next time.”Lu Zheng smiled bitterly and focused on the Whiteflame Cub.The Whiteflame Cub suddenly raised its paws out of nowhere and conjured a Whiteflame Qi.Compared to the Whiteflame Qi covering the paws of the Whiteflame Lion, the Whiteflame Cub’s Whiteflame Qi was more gentler and welcoming.Lu Zheng even felt attracted towards it.That was then he realized something, stunning him.He thought, ‘Is it asking to form a Soul Pact with me?’Without hesitation, just following his intuition, he conjured a Water Qi straight from his mer
Cutting His Right Arm
Lu Zheng was stunned.He frowned.He was silent for a while.Until he finally asked Ravyn, “Are you serious?”Ravyn immediately replied, “Dead serious, doofus.”Lu Zheng was silent once again.He was deeply shaken.After all, even if he cut a single finger, it would have a huge impact on his overall strength..Now, to give up one of his arms?Ravyn was simply telling him to cripple himself.However, Ravyn said he was serious.So much that it was visible on his tone, he was not joking at all.Lu Zheng hesitated.He slowly became anxious and he was not even aware he was shaking.A second later, as he felt like suffocating and about to faint from overthinking, Ravyn sighed.It seemed to have cleared his mind.He said, “This is a problem, you’re having thoughts like those who were about to commit suicide. You are not running out of options.Do you really believe that Elder will not help you regrow your arm? If he possessed the same technique as that venomous woman, then at his current lev
Whiteflame Cub
Two seconds passed and Lu Zheng finally sliced through the touch muscle of her neck and was about to end her life by severing her neck completely when another roar shook his Partial Domain.He was surprised and cursed under his breath.He thought, ‘Damn it! I completely forgot about the cub. Who would have thought it would fight when it was just born?’Ravyn said, “End her life immediately, doofus. Don’t wait for the cub to realize it can fight and protect its mother.”Lu Zheng replied, “I’m trying to.”Lu Zheng then shifted his body and now stood above the vertical line, showing the devastation he caused on the Whiteflame Lion’s neck. He remained the Tsunami Stance but executed the first technique.The Tsunami Crush, the technique that relied the most on strength. However, with the Wave Surge, as he forcibly spent more Qi that could break his body, lessening the Wave Surge’s duration into a single second, his strength multiplied manyfold.Raising his sword upward, the Partial Domai
Ocean's Heart Fury
Now that he was closer to her, he was able to discern her appearance up close.She towered at nearly 3 meters at the shoulder, with a regal, broad chested frame.Her fur was silvery-white, shimmering with iridescent embers that glow brighter during combat or aggression.Her mane was composed of slow-burning white flames that move with unnatural grace, making her more intimidating, especially the thick concentrated Whiteflame Qi.Obviously, the Whiteflame Lion also has nine balls of Qi, the same as Lu Zheng. Her eyes glowed with molten gold, as though it was capable of seeing Qi flow and detecting deceit or cowardice.Her tail was long and narrow, and on its ends was a burning tuft that arcs with heat pulses.If Lu Zheng was to describe the Whiteflame Lion, she was simply too beautiful and graceful.Lu Zheng spotted a mini silhouette below her, but he was not given a chance to leave his gaze off of her.After all, once he went closer to her, her roar abruptly stopped. Her molten gold e
