Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black shadow darted through the tangled old trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each movement brushed past the razor's edge of danger—barely evading the Spirit Beast's slashing claws behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was the steep slope she had scouted beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her speed did not slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like an arrow loosed from the string, her figure shot straight to the cliff's edge—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and plunged down the sheer face, body sliding tight against the slope as she fell at lightning speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spirit Beast behind her could not brake in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its massive body lunged out over the ridge, exposing its fur-covered, unguarded underbelly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of cold light split the forest gloom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl's sword struck like a viper, fierce and precise—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>thrusting straight toward the beast's throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puchi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muffled sound of steel rending hide and flesh,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>mixed with the beast's strangled, warping howl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade did not pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From neck to abdomen, it carved a single horrific red line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A torrent of scalding blood, thick with entrails,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>poured down like a waterfall—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>drenching the girl from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hot, sticky stench filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her clothes clung to her skin,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and blood-matted strands of hair stuck to her pale, calm face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white-robed figure appeared soundlessly atop the slope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at the blood-soaked girl below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression shifted—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>from shock, to sorrow, to a quiet sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rongrong…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As a Support-type Spirit Master, it is enough to have trained your sword to this level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Rongrong wiped her face with the back of her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood only smeared wider—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but the stubborn fire in her expression burned clearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandpa

imagined—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than two years,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the once pampered princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had shed her silks and jewels,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>replacing them with battle-worn garb stained red with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her once-delicate skin was roughened by wind and frost,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and her soft palms were now covered in thick calluses from the sword hilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Rongrong took a long breath, steadying the turbulence in her blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze turned toward the depths of the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her figure flickered and vanished into the trees—toward her next training sport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand brushed against a relatively clean part of her collar, then tightly grasped the pendant hanging around her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a small, clay-sculpted sword that was broken and then glued back together by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the token Li Zhexian had taken from her and discarded behind the mountain that she had secretly retrieved and cherished until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Liena knelt on both knees, head lowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, your disciple has decided—to go to the Slaughter City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint sound of gems clinking echoed through the vast hall—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>growing closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two finely crafted shoes—made from the tanned hide of some rare Spirit Beast—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>appeared within her line of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've truly thought it through?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Slaughter City —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a paradise of sin, where none who enter return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once you step inside, your Spirit Abilities

spoken,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the temperature in the grand hall dropped sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Liena's pupils contracted sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw, beneath her teacher's scepter,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the white marble tiles cracking—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>fine fractures spreading like a spider's web.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Liena pressed her forehead lower,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>until it nearly touched the icy floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Zhexian…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His talent is too terrifying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though the

world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your disciple will not fail your expectations!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bibi Dong leaned back into her throne, resting her fair cheek on one hand, her expression both elegant and dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you truly encounter Li Zhexian…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember—do not engage him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are not his

under her lashes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were filled with unwilling fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would never forget—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>how that white-robed

down the cliffs,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the crashing sound stirring clouds of mist\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that veiled the whole valley in shimmering haze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the midst of that roaring deluge—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a lone figure stood, lean and steady,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>right at the waterfall's core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hand,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a small hammer of black steel gleamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He struck upward,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>against the sheer weight of the falling water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each blow he swung\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>sent the cascade recoiling several meters back,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as though the waterfall itself were forced to yield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One strike—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then another—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hammer shadows roared and danced,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the air bursting with pressure and force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the eighty-first blow fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Break!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His shout pierced the roar of the falls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom——!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The colossal waterfall shuddered—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and for an instant,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it reversed its flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire torrent curled upward,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a pillar of water spearing into the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the pool's edge stood a tall, broad man in coarse hemp robes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his hands clasped behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint, rare smile softened his rugged features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To force a two-hundred-meter waterfall into reverse—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>not even he had achieved that at such a young age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the rebounding water,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a figure shot out like a fish leaping from the depths—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>landing lightly on the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Tang San.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to two years

long hair shimmered faintly with a deep blue-black hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Tang San knew—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not appearance that had changed most,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Mysterious Heaven Skilll had reached the fifth level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Spirit Power had risen to Rank 51.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique had reached perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his Blue Silver Grass had awakened—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>into the Blue Silver Emperor, the sovereign of plant-type spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he had fused the Clear Sky Hammer\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with the hidden weapons of the Tang Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless his opponent could counter hidden weapons\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>or teleport outright—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>none could escape his strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to two years
