Suwa Hiromoto, the female teacher, looked impatient. He immediately took over the conversation and announced it."Okay, Li Wei. We can't wait long in this debate of the coachman and fellow master, the teacher at Tianfeng Academy!" You'd better tell right away. Which of the five of us is your choice to admit as a master!"Silent, there was no sound after Suwa Hiromoto's announcement.Li Wei's chest beat wildly. He did not expect that his appearance had stolen the attention of almost some of the masters in the Academy. Although proud in his heart, he was anxious. "Hopefully my choice, does not disappoint the other masters!" he thought after deciding.Li Wei voiced firmly."I'm Li Wei, decided to make Master Huo Xinyi, as a mentor!"There was silence; then, the hall broke out in a commotion. No one expected the future new genius would choose Huo Xinyi – a master who has not chosen a single student in recent years.Taking a deep breath, Suwa Hiromoto clasped his two hands on his chest. He
Suddenly, the two horses neighed.Their front legs are held high. The horse-drawn carriage, instantly shaken, then stopped. Luckily aang Coachman is an experienced person. He acted quickly, calming down the two tall, war-horse-like horses.Seen before his eyes, between the torrents of rain and the lack of moonlight, the Coachman saw ten shadowy figures standing in their way. The figure of ten is seen wearing a coat of hemp material and a gaping hood of the same material.The aura emitted by the ten figures clearly showed an unfriendly tone. It was made clear by the gleaming cleaver in each of their hands when the moonlight managed to break through the darkness of the night and the torrents of rain.The Coachman turned to the sidelines of the curtain that restricted him from the train car."Master!"Ten mysterious-looking people were blocking in front of the carriage. Each one is holding a machete like this robbed us!" Can the servant intervene?" asked the Coachman.Li Wei was shocked.
The horse-drawn carriage walked through the night, galloping between the drops of heavy rainwater pouring down the earth. Only the sound of galloping horses' feet and wheels hitting stones and puddles could be heard at that time, fighting against the non-stop sound of rainwater from the horizon.The sky was merciful as he poured water and made ten corpses lying on the ground in straw coats seem to be dragged by more and more water. Even the wild creatures, reluctant to come out and prey on their bodies, have now been carried away and flowing in the river near the road.Until the next day, two other figures, their comrades who came wearing the same hemp coat robes, did not find any trace of the whereabouts of the ten dead people."The ten messengers of the Shadow Panther, they couldn't have survived, could they?" a hemp coat spoke skeptically.His friend just nodded his head and answered shortly. "They are dead, even if there is no trace!"The two were silent, pondering. "Then, let's r
The Terra Empire's Western region is where Haoyun City is situated. The City's economy, though small, is quite developed. This is due to the numerous trade items, artifacts, and magical objects found due to experienced hunters' searches in the woodland of Peace, a mystery woodland home to many fabled monsters and magical beasts. Traders from all across the nation flocked to Haoyun City to conduct business.Haoyun City appeared to be bustling and alive that morning. There are several traders, combatants, and hunters moving back and forth. Either they wish to visit the Forest of Peace. They are about to relax there, or they want to try their luck in the haunted Forest by looking for valuable items like core cores, magical creatures, or other artefacts.The hunters left the Forest or finished soaking after that, gathering the treasure resources with the intention of selling their loot at the trading post in Haoyun City. Haoyun City's streets appear to be thickly populated early in the mo
The aristocrats and rich of Huoyun City congregated in this parlour in an opulent structure to unwind over tea or lunch. A guy appeared to be hurrying.He is Morning Dew, the esteemed proprietor of the Jade Hotel & Bar in the City.On the steps leading to the Jade Resto's second floor, Morning Dew was hailed by several visitors as "Mr. Morning Dew." All made bows and exchanged greetings. Morning Dew is highly regarded.This Mr. Morning Dew was not just a wealthy and illustrious individual.Additionally, he is a skilled negotiator with solid ties to Mr. Murong Chengzu, the Mayor of Huoyun. Because of this, Morning Dew came to be feared in this City and was recognized as a successful businessman.If he does not want their business to encounter challenges, no one dares to challenge him in business. Whether pressure comes from the Mayor's side, who will make it difficult for rivals to obtain licenses and leases for their businesses, or from the fear of some of the staff members he employs
Please enter Forsaken Fortress if you have access after displaying your ID!"The mounted soldier yelled stiffly, "Or... Go if you don't have a Forsaken Fortress ID token. His voice was strained because a black iron helmet covered his mouth.After those stern words, a hundred cavalrymen moved immediately, drawing swords and lifting spears. All those weapons appeared ready to grill Li Wei at the point of the sword and spear as they were pointed at him.Li Wei responded without showing signs of concern, "Please calm down; I have the identity tag of the occupant of this Fortress." He had learned not to get tense when confronted by the cavalry—the magically created army—thanks to Mr. Morning Dewa.The mounted man, who appeared to be the black army group's commander, fixed his eyes on Li Wei's token. After that, he took something weird in the form of a box and attached it to the pass.Li Wei struggled to keep from acting astonished like a hillbilly when he heard what seemed like a robot spe
The time depicts Xu Shi's period, which corresponds to the hours between 19:00 and 21:00 in the present day when Li Wei was rushing through the deserted alleys of Forsaken Fortress.The businesses are all closed, and the houses next to them are empty.From the ground floor to the top story, the Fortress had five floors, according to Mr. Morning Dew.The Fortress's initial Ground Floor is its Ground Floor. Additionally, the Fortress's Silver Floor was on the second level, the Bronze Floor was on the third level, the Golden Floor was on the fourth level, and the Platinum Floor was on the top floor.Li Wei was on the lowest floor, where the Fortress's newcomers congregated, along with others who were seen as less skilled in monster hunts or arena battles. Even though their degree of Magic - Nebula or Martial Art - Mingzhu aptitude is sufficient to transfer levels, the inhabitants of this first floor are frequently seen as reluctant to climb and move to the following floor, the Bronze Flo
Li Wei's song "Love Story and Spring Wind" is over. The Chrysanthemum Flower entertainment establishment's entire room erupted in cheers.The space was about to become as quiet as a cemetery - abandoned by visitors until jugs of wine started flowing from the kitchen, bringing it back to life and warm.When the guests settled in at the entertainment house, the maids were enthused again and wooed them.The guest begged, "Play one more song!"The spontaneous musician immediately began singing and playing the stringed Erhu. This is simply a warm-up for Li Wei's fingers, which are achy from not playing the Erhu in a while.Li Wei eventually completed the unplanned job of playing Erhu music till well before morning.++++++The two characters imitate their gazes backstage at the Chrysanthemum Flower Entertainment House show. White Fox and Li Wei. Li Wei had anticipated receiving a fair wage, but the truth was far from what he had anticipated.Mrs. White Fox yelled, "Accept these ten Hellston
The night was cold. The sound of rustling leaves came from the North and South of the Peaceful Forest, bringing anxiety. The Mulberry Forest in the North, or the Spruce Forest in the South. Against the fighters of the Order of No Fear, or against the Order of All Star. Curse monsters, or Envy monsters.The noise and clamor of the fighters' shouts could be heard in the distance, as they hunters and fighters began to take on the challenge monsters in the Resource War event. The faintly audible sound of clashing swords made my heart ache."I have to decide quickly. Curse, or Envy?" Li Wei thought quickly as the time had passed one minute since the battle against the monsters started. He thought about getting high damage in the event of killing monsters in this war."Nearest distance!" Li Wei instantly flashed quickly and disappeared in the darkness of the night. The Mulberry Forest was the closest. That meant "Curse!"With the agility attribute affecting Agility worth 7, for a fighter in
Spot in the Peaceful Forest, the forest area where Li Wei and Zeng Dai were was actually very quiet. Only Mulberri trees with the sound of the wind could be heard on that lonely night. The number of rewards that the system released per fifteen minutes was not as much as in the spots that were bustling with crowds of fighters and hunters on standby there.However, because it was a lonely spot in a creepy place with strange sounds. Hence only Li Wei was interested there. As a result, the amount of rewards from the system he received was much greater than in the abundant spots, although they were also filled with fighters.Not to mention the risk of looting and sneak attacks from behind that could lead to death, which always lurked in those crowded spots.This caused envy in the heart of Zeng Dai, the long-sworded Warrior of the Order of No Fear.On this first floor, there were five famous fighters who were among No Fear's top five. Zeng Dai was one of the five highest combat power holde
That night, the atmosphere was very tense. All the fighters and hunters on the First Floor of the Forsaken Fortress gathered in the First Floor Square. The large courtyard with artificial grass did not invite chatter. This was a historic night; after a long time, the Resource War would be held. This war involved the issue of the limited availability of resources as rewards.Today was another historic day, as the management of the Forsaken Fortress had announced that the Peaceful Forest Manager had prepared enough resources to be the reward for successful hunters and fighters in this war.The tension was heightened when at exactly 7 p.m., the voice of a bot could be heard echoing in the Square."All Fighters, please enter the Portal Gate!"Suddenly, thousands of fighters and hunters poured through the portal gate, which looked as dark as a black hole. This portal appeared magically thanks to the power of the systems and arrays within the Fortress. Li Wei and his four companions also jo
One of the events that Fighter and Hunter alike look forward to in Forsaken Fortress is the Resource War.The difference with the World Boss event was significant.When the World Boss event takes place, all the Hunters and Fighters work together and do not attack each other. In the Resource War, on the other hand, it's a war between Orders. All the Fighters gather in the center of the safe area and wait for the door to the safe area to open. When the doors are opened, the real war will begin.Brutal battles were allowed.At that time, the Artificial Forest would provide many scattered resources without an owner. Fruit, medicinal plants, herbal materials, and spiritual materials were abundant along the forest path. The task of a Fighter or Hunter was to open the box by using magic or with attack power. Inside the box are various rewards as mentioned earlier.Looting will occur everywhere.Although resources are plentiful, this does not stop the greed of individuals from robbing. The sa
The soft smell of morning air filled their lungs along the Iron Road. The smell of the dew-soaked ground and withered leaves, as well as the falling cherry blossoms, raised the spirits of all the individuals on the first floor of the Forsaken Fortress.Li Wei stood in front of a workshop building with a signboard that read 'Aifuyu Forge Workshop!' in large letters. He was just about to push open the gate when it suddenly shifted and opened from the inside.NGIIIK!The sound of metal scraping was deafening. Someone emerged from inside, like a child surprised to see a customer on a morning like this."Mr. Li? You really came early this morning," Aifuyu said with a smile, as if she could read Li Wei's impatience to see the results of the Green Grade shoe forging and repair.Li Wei lied and answered casually. "Actually, I was about to go to the Arena. But at the crossroads, I thought, why don't I stop by for a while to see the shoes I ordered at this workshop," Li Wei said with a flushed
The room of the Temple of the Fallen Angel was still full of flying dust, the remnants of the battle between Li Wei and Hollowscar. Moonlight and starlight finally came in through the sidelines of the windows inside the temple, creating a breathtaking scene that kept Li Wei from leaving. Something that stood out was a pinch of soft leaf green glowing on Hollowscar's feet."Green grade Boots?" Li Wei's eyes widened. "And this is a magic item, something that suits my talent as a Nebula energy controller!"Without waiting any longer, he immediately removed the spiritual boots from Hollowscar's feet."Although it looks a bit bulky, if the benefits are significant, why not give it a try?"What Li Wei had in mind was the Aifuyu Forge."I'm sure the Aifuyu Forge can resize it to fit my feet!"Li Wei stared at the shoes that were two numbers larger than his foot size.WUSH!His figure vanished in an instant, as Li Wei practiced the Running Technique. "These shoes are perfect for me!"He was s
Night had just fallen. The moon and stars hung in the eastern sky of the Forsaken Fortress. It was the perfect night to celebrate the blessings gained after successfully defeating the World Monster.Li Wei planned to celebrate his victory alone."Sitting back, savoring the wines of the western region, or perhaps tasting the black glutinous rice wine made in the eastern land, it's definitely the right choice!" thought Li Wei.In his mind's eye, he was sitting in the Blue Hawk wine house, savoring fine wine under the moonlight, feeling as if he was a legend like the Sages."Ah, how delicious it is to be able to imagine something and then make it come true," he murmured. This was happiness in itself.With a light heart, Li Wei stepped faster. Although it was just walking, the additional points of his dexterity attribute gave him a greater sense of confidence.Currently, the streets of the small town on the ground floor of the Forsaken Fortress seemed deserted. Not many people were passin
Yama stepped very carefully in the crowd of the black market. He paid no heed to the merchants trying to sell items such as low-class artifacts, amulets, or magic tools. His purpose for being there was not to shop."Hm, this is the place I was looking for," muttered Yama, when he saw a sign reading 'Grilled Meat Shop - Gorgon' looming over the crowd.With quick steps, Yama entered the shop, making sure that no one was eyeing him suspiciously. As if he was looking for something else."Safe!" he thought.Grilled Meat Tavern - Gorgon was known as one of the worst taverns in the Black Market Trading Area, especially on the ground floor or ground level of the Fortress. Not only were the dishes notoriously bad due to their strange and unfamiliar seasonings, but the waiters were notorious for behaving like thugs.They look more like bouncers than friendly and polite waiters. Although there were rarely any visitors, in fact you could count on your fingers the number of visitors in a whole day
Li Wei - Firebender.Ever since his arrival with his four friends from the Monster Slayer Guild, Li Wei had already felt the air of hostility cast by a group of youngsters, especially the group of Yama and his friends from The Hunter's Guild."I don't need to worry about what they say. I'd better focus on the world Boss that will appear later!" Li Wei tried to comfort his heart amidst the heat wave of hostility back then.However, all of a sudden, someone shouted out loud."Get ready, the Boss has appeared!""Be careful, the Vampling is a Monster that can spit out poisonous vapors. Prepare your best damage!"Li Wei flashed quickly along with hundreds of other Fighters. He tried to be at the forefront, unfortunately his agility score in the war status was only worth 'one!'Although his legs had sprinted rapidly with the Body Lightening Technique, Li Wei did not feel confident. There were still many youngsters from other guilds who could be seen running alongside him, there were even th
