Volume 6: Chapter 9 – Flying into Dragon Valley

After three days, I had arrived at the Dragon Valley on the west side of Pagoda City. When I was still at a very far distance away, I could already see tier after tier of mountains. The clouds at this place were extremely low. They covered most of the mountain starting from the midsection and up. It looked really beautiful. The locals had said that no matter which of the four seasons it was, the clouds here wouldn't dissipate all year round so this place was called the Cloud and Mist Mountain Range.

Since I didn't know how long I would be in there for, I had bought rations and water from the City to suffice me for twenty days.

Just when I stepped into the Cloud and Mist Mountain Range, Xiao Jin who was sleeping in my body suddenly woke up at once and conveyed to me a sense of impatience. He had never been here before; could he actually know he was nearing his home?

I used my spiritual thought to tell him that I would be sending him home shortly. Xiao Jin's mood was obviously abnormally excited. In his excitement, there also seemed to be a tinge of sadness. He told me that he felt that this place was very nostalgic to him and also really familiar.

The Cloud Mist Mountain Range was really beautiful. All of the mountains were completely green as far as the eye can see. There were occasional sightings of cascades and noises of water flowing from the mountain spring while walking in the mountain. This place had no traces of mankind's activities.

Xiao Jin had become the best compass. I moved around the Cloud Mist Mountain Range in accordance to the strong feelings he felt from the depths of the mountain range.

At the start, the path was relatively easy to tread on as there were people that passed through earlier. However, after a day, there wasn't anymore trails left to follow, I could only bore through the forest. Even though I had the short range teleportation spell, this place's terrain was precipitous. Thus, in order to avoid falling off a cliff by mistake, I only walked.

Most of my clothing had been torn up by bushes and brambles. I was forced to use light magic defensive spells for my surroundings.

Even though the path was difficult to tread on, my mood felt abnormally tranquil. I was no longer dreading about being separated from Xiao Jin. The air in this place was extremely fresh. After taking in a deep breath, my entire body relaxed.

There were many small animals in the mountain, but there weren't any ferocious beasts. There were pheasants, unknown birds, and also small animals. They weren't wary of me at all. They obviously were used to the easy life here and constantly snatched my rations that I was partaking in. I also happily frolicked with them. I seemed to have merged with nature. In my eyes, everything looked perfect.

When night arrived, I found a lofty tree and slept in it. My heart quietly settled down and felt refreshingly tranquil from coming to this place.

After entering the mountain for five days, Xiao Jin's feelings kept getting stronger. I already knew that we weren't far from the Dragon Valley. What I wasn't aware of was that without Xiao Jin's guidance, it would have been impossible to find the actual position of the Dragon Valley in all of my lifetime.

After passing through another forest, what was reflected in my eyes was a large basin. I was at an extremely high altitude. I could only see the approximate size of the whole basin. Under my feet, there was a thick layer of dense fog above the basin. I knew that I had arrived at my destination. This should be the Legendary Dragon Valley.

It was really difficult to find a trail to head downwards. I initially thought of flying down, but my battle spirit wasn't perfected. If the bottom of the basin was too far from my position atop the cliff and my battle spirit couldn't support my landing, I was afraid that my body would be torn apart, and my bones crushed into smithereens.

Xiao Jin, who was in my body, suddenly become anxious. He told me that he wanted to come out.

I helplessly let Xiao Jin out. His huge body stood beside me. With this mist filling his large eyes, Xiao Jin suddenly let out a exceptionally loud dragon roar without any warning. His voice was filled with the dominance of a royal.

The fog in the surrounding was forced back 30 metres from his roar. Even though my cultivation was profound, I nearly lost my balance. Just as I was curious at what he was doing, there were countless responses that resounded from the basin beneath me. Xiao Jin motioned for me to sit on his back.

It looked like he wanted to go down by flying. I had never rode on Xiao Jin before. This was my first chance to do so. I gently jumped on and sat on his large back. Xiao Jin told me to sit steadily before he flapped his pair of large golden wings to fly.

I hastily grabbed onto the spikes on his back. I was exceptionally nervous.

Xiao Jin charged down the thick fog. My ears were filled with the sounds of the wind. Xiao Jin repeatedly let out long dragon roars. It was as though he was telling his family that he had returned.

After finally reaching the bottom of the valley, it turned out to be a barren land, and I saw that there were other dragons similar to Xiao Jin.

I saw two blue and red dragons initially, and it looked as though they were playing. Their heads were about the size of Xiao Jin's. After seeing Xiao Jin's arrival, the other dragons took similar actions without prior consultation to each other, lowering their noble heads and gently whistled.

At this moment, a strong force came over. A deep voice called out, "Welcome back, our Dragon Clan's King."

A green dragon with a huge head appeared in front of me. When his head and Xiao Jin's stood together, they looked like an adult and a child. From his ability to speak, I knew that this large dragon must be at least 8000 years old as dragons must reach that age at least to be able to talk and be in a harmonious phase derived from its maturity.

Xiao Jin was not fearful of the strong strength that the green dragon possessed and unyieldingly stared at him.

The green dragon said, "Child, do you know that your parents have been waiting for you for a long time already? When you went missing that year, they were distraught. Why are you so weak?" Just as he said that, he noticed me on Xiao Jin's back. He immediately raged.

The green dragon shouted, "You low human being actually dared to sit on our Dragon King. Go to hell!" It seemed that he had treated me as the chief culprit in the weakening of Xiao Jin. However, I was curious, how was Xiao Jin weak? Wasn't he doing well?

Just as I wanted to explain, the green dragon's large tail swiped towards me. Xiao Jin become anxious and immediately let out a strong dragon's breath to try and block its advancement.

What startled me was that the green dragon unexpectedly didn't move nor dodged and let Xiao Jin's dragon breath hit him but his tail continued to strike towards me without fail.

There wasn't enough time for me to think. I immediately cast my strongest light defensive spell. Just as I wanted to teleport away, the space in the surroundings seemed to have been condensed by that dragon's swipe, making it impossible for me to move.

Why was it that even though they were similar dragons, there was such a large disparity in strength?

Volume 6: Chapter 10 – I'm Out of Luck

I looked on helplessly as the green dragon's tail hit my chest. All I could do at that moment was to concentrate my magic power, battle spirit and the Holy Sword's power at where I was hit.

I was like a softball being hit by the green dragon for a beautiful home run. I flew backwards like a cannonball. "Hong!" I was deeply embedded into the Dragon Valley's wall. My entire body seemed to be broken, but I wasn't in any actual pain, just numbed to the bone. It was impossible for me to withstand such a strong attack with all of my current capabilities; I clearly heard the breaking of my own bones. If it wasn't for my magic power, Battle Spirit and Holy Sword's power protecting my body, I would already be mincemeat.

The numbness gradually disappeared. What replaced it was a heart impaling and bone piercing agony. I was lucky to be completely embedded into the wall of the mountain without falling off the face of it. If not, I could only beg for the God King to reincarnate me if I got smashed again. Why was this green dragon so powerful? Xiao Jin definitely didn't have such power.

After Xiao Jin saw that I was hit, he became enraged, and no longer cared if the other was his clan member, insanely attacking the green dragon with his dragon breath, clawing and biting, and attacking it with every method known to him.

However, in front of the green dragon, he was a small kid. All of his attacks were easily thwarted by the green dragon's large wings. The green dragon helplessly said, "My King, why are doing this to me? I have already helped you to eliminate that hateful human being."

Xiao Jin roared out short dragon roars. His voice was filled with fury and unceasingly continued his attacks. The few dragons that was similarly sized with Xiao Jin were scared and hid at the side, not daring to voice out.

After the green dragon heard Xiao Jin's dragon roars, he was dazed before he said astonishingly, "What? King, you have actually said that human is your master? How can that be? Who can be the master of our Dragon Clan? This is the most impossible of impossibilities."

As he was in a daze, he was immediately beaten by Xiao Jin a couple of times. Even though Xiao Jin wouldn't be able to injure him, he was in so much pain that he grimaced.

At this moment, a gale of wind blew, and a gentle woman's voice sounded out, "Is it true that the prince has returned? Aiya! Why is he fighting?"

A white large dragon descended from the sky. She clearly saw the situation in front of her and used her large wings to hit the green dragon away. She then excitedly gathered Xiao Jin in the center of her wings and shouted, "Child! It's really you! You're finally back!"

Xiao Jin spaced out for a moment before awakening from his rage. The nostalgic feeling he felt from the other dragon made him cease his attacks, instead staring at the enormous white dragon who was even larger than the green dragon.

Large tear drops flowed out of the large white dragon's eyes. She sobbed, "Child, I am your mother. You are finally back. I missed you to death."

Xiao Jin whistled out a few sounds. The white large dragon was stunned after hearing what Xiao Jin said. "How can that be? You're my child. How can I recognise you wrongly? There is only a Dragon King in every generation, and you are one. Child, why can't you recognise me? I am really your mother."

Xiao Jin's expression gradually softened, a glow of adoration emitting from his eyes, and gently leaned his head on the huge white dragon.

The huge white dragon used her head to rub it against Xiao Jin. She then suddenly raised her head and let out a roar of elation.

The green dragon who was previously blown away climbed up from the ground at that moment. "Big sister, there is no need to hit me so viciously when you, mother and son, reunite with each other, right? I didn't even dare to hurt a single hair of your precious son."

The white dragon was obviously in a good mood and glanced at him before saying. "You reap what you sow. Who asked you to make my son angry? Hmph!"

The green dragon helplessly replied, "I just sent that human who was sitting on the young King's body away. I didn't do anything." In front of the huge white dragon, the green dragon's previous arrogance had disappeared.

After hearing what he had said, Xiao Jin thought about something and struggled out of the huge white dragon's embrace, crying loudly.

The white dragon exclaimed, "What? You said the one that was smashed away is your master? Child, you are the next generation's Dragon King. How can you have a human master?"

Xiao Jin stubbornly let out few sounds. The huge white dragon helplessly said, "Alright! Mother will take a look. However, after getting hit by your uncle Qing, it is impossible the human to be still alive." After saying that, she flapped her enormous wings to fly over.

Even though my entire body was in immense pain, I was still conscious but couldn't talk. The Holy Sword's power was quickly repairing my damaged meridian channels. The huge white dragon flew over. After looking at me with an odd expression, she said with astonishment to Xiao Jin and the green dragon that came along, "Eh! That human is unexpectedly still alive."

I bitterly thought, 'Do I really deserve to die that much?'

The huge white dragon let out a halo of white light rays that retrieved me from the stone wall. She told Xiao Jin, "Even though he is not dead, his injuries are very severe. I really did not expect this master of yours to be alive even after being attacked by Xiao Qing. This is truly a miracle. Let's hurry back to let your father take a look to see if he can be saved."

Xiao Qing bitterly smiled, "Big sister, can you not call me Xiao Qing in front of my nephew? I am still counted as his elder."

The huge white dragon replied, "Do you even act like an elder? Fighting with him immediately after meeting him."

The green dragon felt wronged and replied, "Big sister, it can't be that you have not discovered your son is very weak, right? His life force is pitifully weak. I thought it was caused by the human so…."

After hearing that her son's body was weak, as a mother, she hastily examined Xiao Jin in great detail. The huge white dragon undulated with strong powers. "Child, who did this to you? Quickly tell mother! Mother will help avenge you." It seemed that it was due to Xiao Jin's life force that made them think that he was weak.

XIao Jin looked at me anxiously and barked some sounds at the white dragon.

The white dragon helplessly said, "Alright. We will head to your father to save this human and also to see if your father can help you recover your life force. My child, how have you become like this?" After saying that, tears flowed from the huge white dragon's eyes. One of those tears unfortunately fell on my body. The white light surrounding my body instantly fluctuated. 'Why am I so unlucky to get struck by her tears?' Wah! I spat out a mouthful of blood. My wounds were even more severe now.

I felt that there weren't many bones in my body that were still in good condition. Just the pain created from the friction between my bones made me oscillate between life and death.

Volume 6: Chapter 11 – Dragon King

Xiao Jin hurriedly came to my side to protect me and yelled unhappily at his mother.

The huge white dragon hastily said, "Aiyo! Mother didn't do that on purpose. Let's quickly go!"

A line of three dragons and a human flew towards the deep parts of the basin.

There was an enormous hole in front. The large white dragon was using her dragon claw to drag me, who was currently wrapped in my own light, and came to a stop. She turned her head and told Xiao Jin, "This is our home. Xiao Qing, ah! I mean Xiao Jin's Uncle Green, you stand guard at the door. We will head in first. Don't allow any dragons to come and disturb our family of three's love and joy." After she said that, she brought Xiao Jin and I inside.

As the green dragon who was left behind saw our fading backs, he used his large claws to strike at his head due to being in pain. He muttered, "I…I.. I am one of the eight elder heavenly dragons of the Dragon clan. I am now turned into a dragon to guard the door. Big sister is really too much." Suddenly, he seemed to have thought about something and became elated again. "Haha! I am the next generation's Dragon King's Uncle Green. Haha! This is a title that those other defect dragons can't obtain. Haha! This is awesome. I have something to boast about in the future." The simple-minded green dragon sat in front of the entrance and watched his surroundings, fearing that someone would come and make him fail in completing the task the huge white dragon had given him. This dragon had always been in the Dragon Valley since birth. Even though he experienced countless baptisms of time, he was still young and childish at heart.

My entire body was in tremendous pain, and I seemed to have torn my heart and cracked my lung. However, the Holy Sword's power had stubbornly protected my brain, making me unable to faint. I would soon be driven insane. My perspiration drenched my entire body.

Xiao Jin felt my pain and cast a Primary Spirit Recovery spell on me.

The huge white dragon astonishingly exclaimed, "Child, you also know how to use light magic? That's not bad. There are very few of us that can use elemental magics. Most only rely on their dragon's breath and Dragon magic spells."

Xiao Jin complacently raised his head and called out a few sounds.

The huge white dragon looked at him amazed, but didn't say anything anymore.

The hole got bigger as we proceeded in it. Finally, we reached a place that looked like a large public square. The white dragon stopped and respectfully said in front of her, "Dragon King, I have returned. Our son has also returned."

Xiao Jin curiously looked to the dark place in front of him that had suddenly lit up. A dazzling golden light appeared as an enormous gold dragon squatted in front of them. Even though he was squatting there, a powerful pressure instantly filled the entire hole. The huge white dragon couldn't help but to lower her head.

The huge gold dragon's body was approximately 200 metres. Its entire body was covered with massive gold scales. There were a pair of wings kept by its sides. Two enormous dragon claws were in view. He slowly supported his body and used two enormous dragon's eyes to look fixedly at Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin subconsciously took two steps back to hide behind the huge white dragon and used his small claws to directly grab onto the scales of the huge white dragon.

The huge white dragon gently said, "Child, don't be afraid. He is your father."

An imposing filled voice voiced out. He placidly said, "My child, you're back. Quickly come over for father to have a look."

A golden light shot over and covered Xiao Jin, dragging him over. The closer he got to the Dragon King, the more he felt the pressure that was emitted by the Dragon King.

The huge white dragon said caringly, "Dragon King, be a little more gentle. Don't scare our child."

The Dragon King's imposing voice replied, "As my child and the successor of the Dragon King, how can he have the possibility of being a coward?"

After hearing the Dragon King's words, Xiao Jin seemed to have released his potential grandeur. He straightened his chest, and golden light shone out from his eyes to form a circle of power surrounding his body, standing up under the loftiness of the Dragon King.

The old Dragon King looked satisfied. "That's right! This is my good child. Something is not right. Child, why is your body so weak? Ah Bai, have you brought something else in here? I smell the scent of a human."

The huge white dragon also walked over and passed me, who was covered with white light, over. "Our son says that this is his master. He has been injured by Xiao Qing. Take a look."

The old Dragon King didn't become angry as what the huge white dragon had expected. He took me over. "Can this be the light inheritor that the God King had spoken of, the savior of the world, the Child of Light?"

Xiao Jin whistled loudly, confirming the Dragon King's thought. The Dragon King frowned and said, "This Xiao Qing is almost 10000 years old and is still so hot tempered. This human's injury is very severe." After he said that, a golden light shot out from his dragon's horn and wrapped around me.

I could completely hear their conversations without missing any word, but I was in so much pain that I couldn't speak.

The golden light that shone on my body from the Dragon King gave me a warm feeling. The warmth gradually became hotter. It seemed as though it wanted to melt me. I involuntarily screamed out in pain.

Xiao Jin looked impatiently and kept on crying out anxiously. The huge white dragon told him, "Don't worry. Your father is giving him treatment."

The old Dragon King didn't have any intention of stopping. The gold light kept intensifying. Finally, under the effect of the strong power, I lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, I was currently in another stone hole. The green dragon, who had previously injured me, was by my side. When he saw me open my eyes, he coldly said, "Human, you're awake. I will bring you to meet with our king."

This stupid dragon that had seriously injured me was still this arrogant. Wasn't he just older than me? What was so good about that? I checked my body's condition. Even though I was still feeling a little feeble, all of my bones had reconnected. I gently moved my body. Everything was normal. My body also felt as though it had lightened a little.

I also coldly said, "You stupid dragon, you sneak attacked me when I wasn't paying attention. How can we say that it is due to your skills?"

The green dragon used his dragon wing to gently hit me, making me stagger. I angrily said, "What are you doing?"

The green dragon with contempt said, "With just your abilities, you want to fight with me? From how I see it, you are seeking death." After he said that, he also simultaneously pinched at his two respectively smaller front claws, giving off creaking sounds.

I snorted heavily and replied, "Aren't you supposed to take me to the Dragon King? Why are we still not heading there?"

The green dragon withdrew his contemptible attitude at that moment. He didn't say anything and walked out first. As I followed behind him, I really wanted to kick his butt hard. This fellow was really too arrogant.

I arrived at the same hole I was in previously. The huge white dragon and Xiao Jin stood separately at the sides of the Dragon King. The Dragon King said imposingly, "Human, you have awakened."

Volume 6: Chapter 12 – Xiao Jin's Family

As I faced the world's strongest expert, the Dragon King, I didn't dare to slight him. I bowed towards him and said, "Dragon King, I thank you for saving me."

The dragon King replied, "I didn't do much. It is my clan member that hurt you, so I definitely have the responsibility of saving you. From what I've heard from my child, you have been taking care of him all this time, right?"

I nodded. "It cannot be said that I took care of him. Xiao Jin is my best friend. He has experienced many life and death dangers with me. Without him, I would be dead already."

The old Dragon King nodded. "I want you to explain to me why my child's life force is this weak."

My expression dampened and sighed, "To tell you the truth, this was due to my…." I told him everything that had transpired.

When the green and white dragon heard that I let Xiao Jin out to compete, even after I was warned not to, they glared at me until I said I used my life to save Xiao Jin. Only then did they calm down a little. The old Dragon King heard what I said emotionlessly.

"…..So that was what happened that resulted in Xiao Jin's life force being so weak. I came here to return him to your side. I hope you can find a way to recover his life force."

Xiao Jin loudly cried out. It was obvious that he didn't want to be separated from me.

I glanced at him, full with emotion, and lukewarmly said, "Xiao Jin, this is your home. You must listen to your parents from now on and qualify to become a great Dragon King, alright?"

Xiao Jin strongly shook his head and said in my heart, "I want to follow you. I don't want to stay here." After being together for so many years, Xiao Jin was filled with reluctance to part from me.

I walked over and leaned on his body. With tears flowing down my face, I replied, "I am also reluctant to leave you. However, this is your world. You have your family, and they're the same species as you. You will only be in danger if you follow me."

XIao Jin cried out to the old Dragon King and used his big wings to place me at the center of his body.

The old Dragon King said, "Human, I don't know if I should thank you for returning my child or to blame you for the great loss of his life force. I will count it as the balance between contribution and errors. You are free to go. Xiao Qing, you send him out."

I nodded and struggled out of Xiao Jin's embrace. I deeply bowed towards the old Dragon King. "Thank you for not punishing me. I hope that after I leave, you can recover Xiao Jin's life force. Xiao Jin's previous death is the most remorseful incident in my entire life."

The huge white dragon replied, "We will."

Xiao Jin was restricted by the old Dragon King's power. He repeatedly cried out and was filled with reluctance. The old Dragon King looked at my fading back before gently sighing.

Just as I was going to walk out of the hole, the old Dragon King's imposing voice called out.

"Human, come back here."

I was stunned as to why he wanted me back. Could it be he didn't know how much determination it took for me to leave Xiao Jin? However, with the call from the Dragon King, I couldn't disobey it.

After returning to face the Dragon King, Xiao Jin was already no longer there. The dragon King lukewarmly said, "I have already locked Xiao Jin up in a secret room. After settling your matters, I will start to help him recover his life force."

I gratifyingly replied, "Thank you. I will be happy if Xiao Jin is alright."

The Dragon King said smilingly, "He's my child. I will definitely treat him. I should be the one to thanking you. Even though my child has lost a large amount of life force, he is still brought back here safely by you. If you have any request, you can say them. I will try my best to fulfill them."

I lowered my head and thought before suddenly saying, "I do not have any request for myself, but I want to plead to you to help save the other races in the world." I thought, "If I can involve this old Dragon King in the battle, I will feel more relieved when the time comes."

The Dragon King looked interested and replied, " Carry on."

I composed myself before telling him what the God King had told me previously. After the Dragon King heard what I had to say, he sighed deeply and said, "You're a good child. You are kindhearted. Actually, I already know everything. We have the same enemy, the Monster King. You perhaps don't about this, but during that year of the great God and Monster war my father had led the dragon clan to also participate in it." Here, the old Dragon King's eyes were filled with dejection.

He continued to say, "My father, the previous generation's Dragon King, was killed by the Monster King. From then on, I inherited the Dragon King's position. The God King once told me that even with his God's power, he was still unable to eliminate the Monster King. There will be a day the Monster King will emerge again. However, at that time, a hero that has a short life, the Child of Light, will lead all of the brave warriors to have the ultimate battle against the Monster King."

I was startled and replied, "It can't be that Child of Light that has a short life is me, right?"

The Dragon King nodded. "That's correct. It is you. If you aren't that person, why would the God King give you the Holy Sword? Child, there are some matters that you won't be able to escape from. Do you understand?"

I smiled embarrassedly, "Even if I want to escape, will I be able to? You can stop worrying. I will do my best."

The old Dragon King noded. "Child, I have already recovered your life force that you sacrificed for my child and also strengtheedn your bones. Your path is still an extremely long one."

This was not bad. It was worth the trip. It had actually recovered my life force. This was just too amazing. Haha!

I said with gratitude, "Thank you for recovering my life force."

The old Dragon King shook his head. "After a couple of years, I will lead the eight elders of the dragon clan to participate in the great God and Monster war in the future. You can be reassured of that. If the Monster King wants to invade the whole world, he will definitely not let my clan off."

I respectfully nodded. "I represent the human race of the world to thank you beforehand."

The old Dragon King replied, "My child's dependence on you is very strong. I know that you two will be inseparable partners in life. I will not forcefully keep you two apart. However, I have some conditions that you must agree to."

I instantly became elated. I didn't want to be separated from Xiao Jin. This was too perfect.

I hastily replied, "Please state your terms. As long as I can be with Xiao Jin, I will accept any conditions."

The Dragon King chuckled and replied, "I have three conditions. The first is that you must protect the safety of my child and not let him be fatally wounded."

Volume 6: Chapter 13 – The Dragon's Conditions

I resolutely said, "If someone wants to hurt Xiao Jin, he must step over my dead body."

The old Dragon King nodded with satisfaction before he replied, "Good. The second condition is that no matter what the outcome is in the future, you must become my Dragon clan's protector and also not expose any of my Dragon clan's secrets to the other races."

I replied, "Of course, I will definitely not breathe a word of it."

The Dragon King continued to say, "The third condition is that you must bring my child back to inherit the Dragon King's position."

After hearing that condition, I couldn't help but be stunned. "It will definitely happen. Is that even counted as a condition?"

The old Dragon King bitterly smiled, "It definitely is a condition, and also the most important one. Do you know, even if we successfully annihilate the Monster King, your human lifespan is only 100 years while our Dragon clan has a lifespan of a few 10,000 years. Once you die from old age, with my child's feelings for you, he will definitely want to die with you. In that case, my five claws gold dragon lifeline will end with his."

'Ah! Would that be the case?' I thought of Xiao Jin's feelings, which confirmed the old Dragon King's words.

I sighed and said, "Dragon King, you can be reassured that I will definitely bring Xiao Jin back to inherit your position."

The Dragon King frowned and replied, "Don't agree to it so fast! Even though my interactions with Xiao Jin aren't many, I can see that he is extremely stubborn and won't be easy to convince."

I smiled and replied, "I have my own plans for the matter."

The old Dragon King who was still worrying said, "Tell me your plans."

I used an extremely soft voice as I told my plans to him. The old Dragon King laughed. "You are really sinister. I will be able to relax in that case. However, I won't be satisfied with only your sayings for my first condition. You must undergo my test."

"Test? What test?"

The old Dragon King smiled sinisterly. "You can pick anyone from my eight elders of the dragon clan and only if you defeat him, can you leave."

Wah! He was really sinister and still talked about me. I replied as I wailed, "They are all so abnormal. How can I fight against them?"

The old Dragon King replied, "It isn't up to you. I will give you a month's time to increase your abilities. After that, we will commence the competition. As for my child, he will not be able to leave this place temporarily. I will need a year's time to recover his life force and make him become a real Dragon King. After he finishes my tasks, I will directly send him to find you. Of course, you must first accomplish the test that I just gave you." From his words, it was to increase Xiao Jin's powers.

Would I stand a chance in fighting with the Dragon clan's abnormal elders? My face instantly turned green like a bitter gourd. However, for the sake of being with Xiao Jin, I must give it a try. I clenched my teeth and replied. "Alright. I will fight with that green dragon." As I said, I pointed at the huge green dragon who was standing not far away.

The old Dragon King was stunned and said, "Xiao Qing is the strongest among the elders. Do you want to reconsider?"

I replied with determination, "I don't need to reconsider. I pick him." 'Hmph! Stupid green dragon! You hit me, I will definitely humiliate you.'

The old Dragon King replied, "That's great! I will give you a month. After a month, we will compete outside. In this month, you must work hard. If not, you will definitely be unable to defeat Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing is well known for his iron body. His speciality is physical attacks. He can deal with 100 behemoths without any difficulties. From what I heard from my son, you are a magician. You must remember that our dragon's magic defense is extremely strong. Alright! I will leave it as it is for now. You will live at the hole you were in before coming here. If you have any problems, you can find Xiao Qing. I will first head back to treat my child."

I replied, "I understand. Thank you." After saying that, I left with the green dragon. As they walked, the green dragon said. "Aiya! It has been a long time since I can use my strength. My weary old bones can finally move. Brat, even though you are so small, you seem to be good to beat. You must train hard in the month so as to not disappoint me." After he said that, he pinched his dragon claws again with an elated expression. The Dragon clan's life was extremely dull so with me to excite his life, he was definitely happy.

Seeing his expression, it was clear that he already treated me as his sandbag. I coldly said, "Xiao Qing, just you wait and see how I will deal with you."

When the Dragon King previously called him Xiao Qing, he was a little unhappy. The Dragon King was still older than him after all, so he didn't dare to say anything. With my call, he raged furiously and shouted, "I don't allow you to call me Xiao Qing! I am much older than you. You are from my younger generations. How can you be this rude?"

I sneered and replied, "Who is your younger generation? Xiao Qing, quickly get me something to eat."

The green dragon angrily walked around me, but didn't dare to hit me. He viciously said, "Brat! You are currently so wild and ruthless. I will deal with you after a month."

We already walked out of the hole at that time. The green dragon called a smaller blue dragon over. "Xiao Xiao Lan, I will pass this brat to you. You will have to satisfy all of his needs. I will go first. You must remember to protect him."

As the blue dragon saw the fading back of the green dragon, he unhappily said, "He dumped his burden on me again. Who did I provoke?"

I cordially greeted him. "This dragon brother, can you get your little brother something to eat?"

The blue dragon looked at me curiously and replied. "Are you that human being that brought back our young King?"

I nodded. "That's right! It is me, why?"

The blue dragon replied, "So humans looked like this. This is still my first time in seeing one." As he said that, he used his claws to catch me to look at me in detail.

I knew he didn't have any bad intentions so I didn't resist him. I bitterly smiled and said, "Have you seen enough? If you have, please quickly get me something to eat. I must train as soon as possible. Your Dragon King has given me one month before I have to fight with that stupid dragon."

After the blue dragon heard my words, he was shocked. With the release of his dragon claws, I instantly dropped down. As it happened too suddenly, I fell until I was totally muddle-headed.

The blue dragon hastily clenched his huge fist and asked, "Are you alright? I am sorry for what just happened. I was absentminded previously."

Volume 6: Chapter 14 – Naming Dragons

Since he had already apologized like that, what more could I say? I rubbed my butt before standing up. "Why did that stupid dragon call you Xiao Xiao Lan?"

The blue dragon replied, "It is how we call each other here. We call each other by colours. Let's use that green dragon as an example. The Dragon King will call him Xiao Xiao Qing. A dragon from the same species, but younger by a generation, will be called Xiao Xiao Qing, therefore I am the pitiful Xiao Xiao Lan." As he said that, he gave me a grievous look.

I curiously asked, "What if there are two dragons of the same species in a generation?"

The blue dragon's expression darkened. "In our Dragon clan, that will rarely ever happen. Every species generally has only one heir. If two dragons really appeared in the same generation as you said, they will be called Xiao Xiao X1 and Xiao Xiao X2. Even though I am already 8000 years old, I am still younger by a generation from Xiao Qing. However, I am a well known figure in the Dragon clan's young generation." As he said that, he showed off a posture that he thought looked very cool.

I wanted to fall down and faint. These dragons were really uncivilized. I meant well as I asked, "How about I give you a new name? Xiao Xiao Lan doesn't sound good."

The blue dragon immediately became elated. "Ah! My human brother, I thank you for that. Please quickly give me a name."

I thought and replied, "I will call you Ice Blue. How about that? Is that impressive enough?"

The blue dragon silently said that name. "Ice Blue…Ice Blue.. Wah! That's perfect! I have my own name. I have my own name." As he said that, he turned and ran away.

I shouted at his back, "Hey! Please bring me something to eat!" I didn't even know whether or not he heard me, but I shook my head before solitarily going back into the hole I had woken up in earlier.

'How can I win against that stupid green dragon? His power is just too strong. Even if I team up with Xiao Jin to fight him with all our might, we may not be able to defeat him.'

I had only a month's time. Even if I improve as fast as possible, it would be impossible to defeat that dragon. I never thought that I, a Magister, couldn't even defeat a dragon. The Dragon King said that their magic defenses were good. He definitely wasn't bluffing me. Any magic spells lower than the advanced spells would be useless against them.

'If I want to defeat him, I must move as I fight him. His body is so huge. His agility will definitely be lower than mine. I must be the first one to attack him during the competition by using short distance teleportation to hit him. After that, I will use my chantless Light Sword. However, the attack power of the Light Sword will probably just be an itch to him. What to do? He definitely won't give me time to chant my spells. It looks like I can only use the magic and battle spirit fusion strike. I may stand a chance then. The goal for this month is to strengthen the power of the magic and battle spirit fusion strike and lessen the time of its gathering speed. I can only see my fate after that.'

With a goal, my mood improved. Just when I wanted to prepare and start practicing, I suddenly felt something similar to an earthquake.

The whole floor was flooded with "Hong! Hong!" sounds. It sounded like dense thunder clouds were coming.

'What was going on?' I used a short teleportation spell to get out of the hole. I was shocked at what I was seeing in front of me.

I saw all kinds of dragons. There seemed to be 200 of them. It looked like the entire Dragon clan's forces had gathered. Some were flying and some were standing. Their sizes and shapes differed, but they all were threatening in their grandeur.

What shocked me was that their target seemed to be me as they formed an enormous circumference around me and slowly moved towards me. There were peculiar gazes from all of the dragon's eyes. They seemed to want to gobble me up.

Not to mention myself, but even if it was the God King seeing so many dragons, he would most certainly have a headache.

I forcefully smiled and said, "Wah! Greetings to all of you. I've just arrived and look forward to all of your advice."

The crowd of dragons didn't care about me and continued to constantly surround me. This was bad. It couldn't be that they think of me as dessert, right? But I'm so small. I probably wouldn't even be able to satisfy a single dragon and there were so many. How were they going to share me? Such a thing shouldn't be the case. Could it be that stupid green dragon called them over? That also shouldn't be it. The only one that could move the entire Dragon clan should be the Dragon King. The green dragon wouldn't have this ability.

When the crowd had me completely surrounded, four hundred large eyes met my small eyes. I vigilantly said, "What do all of you want? I am the Dragon King's guest, so you can't just do whatever you'd like." Seeing that they hadn't replied to me and that all of their dragon claws began to stir, I knew this was going to be bad. They must have come here due to the matter regarding the life force of Xiao Jin. I hastily said, "Wah! Dragon brothers, if you want to vent your anger, please let me keep my little life, and also when you hit me, please don't hit my face." After I said that, I crouched down and used all of my magic power to protect my entire body.

After a long time, there still wasn't any response. They were still looking at me as before. Suddenly, there was movement from within the crowd of dragons and the blue dragon that ran away earlier squeezed himself into the middle with me.

The few small dragons at the side made some sounds towards him. Ice Blue puffed out his chest and said, "Leave it to me!" I didn't know what he had just promised to them.

After Ice Blue said that, he walked over and lowered his huge head and seemed to curry favor with me. "Human brother, the name that you have given me is extremely resounding. For so many years, my clan members have never had their own names. Can you also….."

Sigh! So it was for this. I wiped away the cold sweat from my forehead and calmed down. I replied smilingly, "Isn't it to give all of them names? There won't be a problem. Don't worry. I am well known for being handsome, outstandingly elegant, with the manners of a jade tree and am a powerful yet exceptionally witty mage amongst humans. How can this matter be consideredas a problem to me?"

Ice Blue was stunned and asked, "What does handsome, outstandingly elegant, with the manners of a jade tree and a powerful yet exceptionally witty mage mean?"

I toppled heavily. I smiled awkwardly, "They are all phrases that describes something that is good. Alright. Let's not continue to talk about that. Are they all here to get a name?"

All of the large and small dragons simultaneously let out a long dragon roar. They had confirmed my question. The sound was definitely loud enough to topple the mountains and overturn the seas.

I jumped in shock and said, "Alright. Please lower your voice. You're scaring me to death. You can come forward to me in accordance of your age, from the youngest to the oldest."

These dragons with tyrannical powers were all like obedient babies due to wanting me to give them a good name. Every dragon that came over looked at me with hope filled eyes. There wasn't even a hint of a dragon's usual loftiness.

"'You are covered with red scales and there are three spikes on your back. Your dragon breath is fire. You look really bold and powerful so I will give you a name, Flamy."

"Your dragon scales are purple,……, I will call you Purple Dream."

Volume 6: Chapter 15 – Backed by the Dragons

Just like that, I wracked my brain for the entire day to give all of the dragons names that they were satisfied with. After that, even Xiao jin's mother, who was the huge white dragon, also came. I also gave her a name, White Queen as she was the Dragon King's wife. Haha! After giving so many dragons their names, I still felt very accomplished.

I finally finished that task when night came. Except for the Dragon King and the Green Dragon that had 'offended' me, all of the dragons had their own name."

After the crowd of dragons had dispersed, I also went back to my hole. The Green Dragon that had been hiding at the side ran over and pulled Ice Blue. "Xiao Xiao Lan, what is that brat up to? I was too far away so I couldn't see clearly what happened."

Ice Blue arrogantly said, "Please don't call me Xiao Xiao Lan anymore. I have a new name. Please call me Ice Blue instead. The human brother has previously given us all our own names. Haha! Uncle Xiao Qing, I am afraid that you are the only one that doesn't have a new name. I am heading off. Ice Blue…Ice Blue.. I am extremely satisfied with my name."

After looking at Ice Blue who was on cloud nine, the green dragon used his large claws to hit his head. He muttered, "If I knew this will happen, I won't have offended him. What can I do now? I can't just go up to him and ask for a new name." After he said that, he sighed before walking away.

As for me, after heading back to my hole, I ate all kinds of fruits that the bunch of dragons had given me. (There were also some wild beasts. However, it was too troublesome to make it edible so I just ate the fruits. I am lazy.) It soothed my mood. Even though it was a little tiring today, I made good relationships with those dragons. It would definitely be beneficial to the competition in a month's time.

Starting from the next day on, I had given myself tasks. I would train battle spirit in the morning and then train the gathering speed for my magic and battle spirit fusion spell. Afterwards, I would meditate. As I slept, with the two Gold Dans, the gathering speed of my magic power had increased drastically. It was not like one plus one equals two kind of increases, but rather twice as much. After my two Gold Dans turned completely transparent, my magic power would be able to breakthrough from the Magister's realm so the good effects of lying down to meditate could be seen clearer.

After working hard for a month, I could clearly feel the improvement in my magic. No matter if it was the God King that had shed my mortal body and exchanged my bones or the Dragon King that had changed my physique, the results were amazing. My battle spirit had improved rapidly, my body was much stronger than before. My physical capability was abundant and I had trained to the best standards for the battle. Even though my power might not reach the Radiant Knight rank, it had at least reached the Heaven Knight rank. My battle spirit had almost reached the God Battle Spirit's class. Of course, my martial skills were still bad, however it shouldn't matter as I trained my battle spirit to be better at using my magic.

Even though I still had not reached the speed of using chantless intermediate light spells and Elementary spells, the gathering speed had decreased drastically. I currently only need 3 seconds to cast a fusion magic and battle spirit spell that was stronger than before.

A month soon passed. The Dragon King had told a small dragon to pass his words to me to prepare myself for the test tomorrow.

In this one month, I was already very familiar with the dragons. They had already accepted me, a human being. No matter if it was 1 or 2 thousand small dragons or the 10000 years and above elder dragons, they all called me their brother.

I had never seen the green dragon since that day. He probably hated me to death. He definitely wouldn't hold back his strengths. We would just follow my preplanned fighting tactics tomorrow. With the Dragon King's supervision, I should have no problem with keeping my small life.

There was an extremely flat and sparse land in the middle of Dragon Valley. It was the best place to hold competitions. The green dragon stood in front of me with his eyes glaring like a tiger watching his prey. The Dragon King also walked out from his hole. From what he had said, Xiao Jin had started close doors training. His life force was slowly recovering.

The Dragon King's imposing voice rang out. "The test begins. Xiao Qing, you must remember not to kill him." After he said that, with a wave of his claws, an enormous golden transparent barrier formed to enclose us at the center of it.

The green dragon extended his dragon claws. "Brat, if I don't cripple you, I will no longer be called Xiao Qing."

The group of dragons surrounding us roared simultaneously. From the huge dragons that knew how to speak, it seemed that they were cheering me on. The green dragon yelled furiously at the barrier, "Why are you all extending your dragon claws? You are being biased towards outsider! Quickly cheer me on."

Ice Blue replied, "Uncle Xiao Qin, it can't be that you don't know that we were given his grace, right? Furthermore, we are all cheering for the weaker competitor. Zhang Gong! You can do it! Zhang Gong! Go for it!"

The green dragon was so angry that his entire body shivered. The Dragon King yelled, "Why aren't you two fighting? Quickly start the test!"

Xiao Qing instantly moved 30 meters ahead and swiped his tail at me. He used the same move that he did previously to strike at me horizontally.

I had long prepared to used short teleportation before the Dragon King said those words. When I saw him move, I immediately teleported away. As the speed was extremely fast, the green dragon's tail hit my after image.

I mockingly said, "I am here!"

The green dragon angrily dashed over, but I didn't counter attack. I dodged all around him. Suddenly, I thought of a good plan, I started to run in a circle in the barrier that the Dragon King had erected. I gradually increased my pace. When I ran at my maximum speed, there was my silhouette from all directions. The green dragon got dizzy from my movement.

I struck out at that moment using the fusion magic and battle spirit spell that I gathered earlier. Due to the remnant images, it seemed that I was striking at the green dragon from all directions, making it impossible for him to avoid the attack.

"Hong!" The long white light with a tinge of gold struck on his back.

I had struck him with all of my might. The longer I stored up the spell, the stronger it got. It was definitely stronger than any advanced spells that I used before.

The green dragon screeched out in pain. The scales on his back spewed out blood from my strike as his body heavily struck the ground.

The Dragon King and White Queen paled as they didn't think that I would have such a powerful attack.

Actually, I knew that even though I had injured the green dragon with this strike, it would not be wounded fundamentally. Even though I had estimated that his defences was extremely strong, his durability was still beyond my expectations.

The green dragon gradually stood up. His eyes had turned blood shot red. He gently flapped his wings and flew up into the sky with his body emitting intense green light rays. I knew that his next move would definitely be world shaking. Blood was still constantly dripping from his body.

Volume 6: Chapter 16 – The Holy Sword's Handle

I didn't dare to slight him. I immediately started chanting. As I chanted, the green dragon's mouth was also continuously moving. This was bad. It was a dragon language spell. I couldn't help but to be frightened as I didn't know if my power would be strong enough to block his attack.

I would stake it all with this one exchange, "Light elements, my great friends, I plead for you to use your power to form unlimited light rays to form small stars to eliminate the enemy before you, Bright Star's Shine!"

I rapidly gathered light elements beside me and continuously formed them into stars in front of me, forming layer after layer of defence. I quietly heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the green dragon's entire body lit with green light. His eyes had recovered their previous sober and calmness. He chuckled at me and said, "It has been 10000 years since I had been injured, excluding the previous great God and Monster War. I will let you see the true power of the Dragon clan."

This was terrible. His entire body's green ray formed an enormous wave moving towards me. I hastily gathered the stars in front of me and released the second fusion spell.

When the magic and battle spirit fusion spell's light ray and the wave from the green dragon collided, the wave didn't stop at all after smashing through the white power from the fusion spell and charged towards the star defense area.

The stars had temporarily stopped the advancement of the wave but its strength were rapidly diminishing. When the stars and the wave collided, it gave off "Zi! Zi!" sounds.

I knew that the stars wouldn't be able to block the attack so I immediately cast a Holy Swords protection spell and also gathered my battle spirit in front of my body.

The charging wave succeeded in breaking through the stars defense area and heavily hit on my last defence. I didn't get hit head on, but flew out along with its power.

Even if that was the case, I was still unable to break through this tremendously strong power. "Hong!" I smashed into the gold barrier that the Dragon King had cast. Due to the collision, the barrier rippled. I violently spout out blood as I was seriously hurt.

I had used all of my abilities to forcefully block the advancement of the green dragon's attack but also suffered serious injuries. I had once again experienced how powerful a dragon's power was.

The green dragon was also shocked that I could block his attack. He immediately pounced over, getting ready to hit me so as to make me completely lose my fighting power.

It was just like the final match of the Advanced Academies' competition. I had once again faced the fear of facing death. 'Xiao Jin, is it really impossible for me to be with you?' My heart felt as though it had been torn apart. At the crucial moment, I similarly felt that the Holy Sword power in my body surged out. I knew that at crucial moments, the Holy Sword would awaken temporarily again. My eyes had turned completely gold as the Holy Sword power surged out of my body.

What was different from before was that I had some understandings on how to use the Holy Sword so I could barely be able to control it. My body elevated and my body shone with peculiar gold light rays. An enormous gold light sword gathered in front of me similar to the previous time. The power emitted from the Holy Sword was much stronger in comparison. The green dragon could already feel the immense pressure, but he knew that it was impossible for him to retreat. There was also not enough time for him to cast another dragon language magic spell. He clenched his teeth and curled up into a ball before he rapidly charged at me with his back facing outwards.

With a single thought, the light sword shot out. The Dragon King was shouting from outside the barrier. He had already felt that something was wrong. The power had made him felt threatened. To protect the green dragon's safety, two light rays shot out from his two enormous dragon horns. One was shot to counter my light sword and the other was towards the green dragon.

The Dragon King's golden light and my light sword collided first. With the valiance of the Dragon King, due to using his power in a rush, he could only slow down the advancement of the light sword. The light sword was a little sluggish as it quickly engulfed the Dragon King's golden light before continuing to fly towards the green dragon.

The Dragon King hollered, "Xiao Qing, be careful!" Even though he had warned the green dragon, he knew that with all of the power that the green dragon possessed, it would still be impossible for him to withstand the light sword's power. It would be too late for him to gather more powers as well. There was pain that was shown from the Dragon King's eyes. He never would have thought that I could use the God King's Radiant Holy Sword. Actually, even though the Holy Sword had only been half awoken, I used only a sliver of its power.

Just as the Radiant Holy Sword's power was going to hit the green dragon, I gently moved the power of the Holy Sword upwards and towards the left before rapidly sending it out. I got a beautiful home run just like when the green dragon had previously used his tail to swipe at me.

The enormous green dragon's body broke through the Dragon King's barrier before heavily hitting at the nearby stone wall. With his strong body, he shouldn't be in much danger.

I didn't have the time to laugh as I had used up all of my strength. The Dragon King shot out some power to catch me who was dropping down from the sky. With the Dragon King's treatment, I felt much better. I had recovered some of my body's strength. I said feebly, "Dragon King, does this count as I have pass the test?"

The Dragon King sighed. "I never thought that the God King had given the Radiant Holy Sword. Thank you for holding back."

I smiled, "Your Dragon clan members are so few. Moreover, I don't have any deep grudges towards him. Why would I take his life?"

The Dragon King replied, "To be honest, I suggested this test just to make things difficult for you. I and Xiao Bai, ah no! I heard that you gave her a name called White Queen, are reluctant to be separated from our son. Do you know why he left the Dragon Valley previously? It was because of that old fellow, the God King. He said that whoever can hatch the dragon egg, that person will have the means to inherit the Radiant God's power. Just like that, our child was separated from us. This time, you have sent him back with such difficulties. We also don't want to be apart from him."

I nodded. "I understand your feelings. What kind of parents doesn't want their children to be by their side? How about this? After Xiao Jin helps me to settle the Monster King's problem, I will let him return to Dragon Valley to accompany you all. I will also frequently come to see him at that time. If he misses me, he can also come to find me." Xiao Jin was their child after all. Which parents would want to be separated from their children?

The Dragon King happily nodded his head. "That will be great! I represent the Dragon clan to thank you for that."

Volume 6: Chapter 17 – The Dragon's Gift

I laughed and said, "What's there to thank me for? Xiao Jin is your child after all." In my heart, I sniggered, 'This Dragon King is really silly. If he doesn't want Xiao Jin to go with me, can I beat all of the dragons? Won't it still be his call? Now, I am just doing someone a favor at a low cost.' Actually, the one that was silly wasn't the Dragon King but rather our leading actor, as he didn't know that Xiao Jin had formed a contract with him. Without his permission, Xiao Jin would be unable to leave him. If he died, Xiao Jin would also die. This was why the Dragon King used every possible means to make him promise not to allow Xiao Jin to die with him.

The Dragon King replied, "How about this? Since you agree to let Xiao Jin return, you are the benefactor of our Dragon clan. I will impart to you a special Dragon language spell from the Dragon clan. What do you want to learn?"

This was great. I really had to think this through. My eyes lit up. "I want to learn how to break through magic seals." This spell had saved me a couple of times. It was not bad to have the power to eliminate all kinds of magic seals.

The Dragon King astonishingly nodded his head. "You really know how to pick. This spell in the dragon language is an advanced spell. I will impart this spell to you."

The Dragon King's body shone with gold light. Two cold lights shone out from his large eyes before deeply piercing into my own . Instantly, there were countless strange symbols that appeared in my mind. The Dragon King said, "This is the chant to break magic seals. If you want to use it, you just have to read exactly as it appears. ."

The chant was very simple. It was just like a little tongue twister. I replied, "Thank you. Is Xiao Jin's closed door training going well?"

The Dragon King replied, "It is currently going well. I used a few treasures of the Dragon clan to increase his power and life force. He has matured too quickly so his foundation is still unstable.The eight elders and I will take turns to help train him. You don't have to worry about him. After a year and after his close door training has ended, I will let him find you. No matter where you are, he will always be able to find your position. You can totally be reassured about that."

I nodded. "I feel relieved that way."

The Dragon King said, "After resting for a day, you can leave this place tomorrow."

The last day with the dragon clan was the busiest day by far. Almost all of the dragons gave me some kind of presents. As the dragons had the hobby of collecting, they had all given me different kinds of gemstones, a big piece of diamond, different colours of magic crystals, other rare products, et cetera. My spatial space was filled to the brim with gifts.

Seeing them so passionate, I was a little embarrassed to just leave as I had taken everything that they gave to me. Haha! 'I am rich! After heading back and selling this off, I will at least have a few tens of thousands of diamond coins. HeHe! I won't be afraid to treat Mu Zi to good food in the future.'

After awakening from my money dream, I packed my belongings. Actually, there wasn't much to pack. I just changed a set of new clothes. After that, I walked to the Dragon King's hole to bid him farewell.

The Dragon King wasn't there. There was only White Queen there in the hole.

I asked, "Aunt White Queen, where is the Dragon King?"

White Queen smiled and said, "The Dragon King is currently helping to train our child. He told me to tell you that you don't need to bid him farewell and tell you to stay safe. Child, you are leaving. Aunty does not have anything good to give you. I will give you this. This is something that I inadvertently picked up many years ago. There were a lot of them at that time." After she said that, a white light floated towards me.

I extended my hand forward to receive the white light. As the light ray gradually dulled, it was an exquisite magic staff. It was roughly 1.2 meters long. Its body was made up of an unknown metal was shining with gold light rays. There was a light green dragon on the staff's body. The dragon head was the staffs head piece. Its mouth had a large transparent gemstone between its jaws, the dragon eyes made of two red gemstones. Two dragon wings slightly opened on two sides of the magic staff. The green dragon staff looked like it was alive. It seemed that his entire body was carved out of a large piece of gemstone. A precious light ray illuminated the entire magic staff. The magic staff kept on emitting power. I knew that it was definitely a top grade magic staff.

I fondled with the magic staff and said, "Aunty, thank you for this gift. This present is too precious."

White Queen said smilingly, "This magic staff is not very useful to our Dragon clan. It is known as Sukrad's magic staff. This was the weapon that the Dragon God Sukrad used that year."

I asked in amazement, "There is also a Dragon God?"

White Queen nodded. "There definitely is. The Dragon God was not in charge of our Dragon clan. He was just responsible for our interactions between the God clan and our Dragon clan. His power was also extremely strong. He unfortunately sacrificed himself during the Great God and Monster War. Before he died, he left this magic staff to us. I will pass it on to you today. Even though it is much weaker than your Radiant Holy Sword, you should be able to use it with your current strength. You can keep and use it."

I replied emotionally, "This gift is too precious. I thank you for this, Aunty."

White Queen shook her head. "You don't have to thank me. We also have selfish motives. I only hope that you will protect our child's safety in the in the future. It will be your greatest gratitude to us." She had spoken so honestly. However, even if that was the case, I was still thankful.

I rode on Ice Blue's back and waved saying my farewells to the crowd that came to send me off. Ice Blue expanded his enormous wings to fly through the clouds and into the sky.

I asked him, "How is that stupid green dragon?"

Ice Blue replied, "It is all thanks to you holding back that Uncle Xiao Qing only suffered superficial wounds. His condition isn't bad. After resting, he should be fine."

I laughed and said, "When you head back, tell him that I have given him a name called Blank Green Head."

Ice Blue obviously didn't understand what Blank Green Head means. He elatedly replied, "Ah! That's great! After I head back, Uncle Xiao Qing will definitely be happy. Even though he didn't say, we all know that he has been envying us because of our names."

I sniggered but didn't say anything.

Ice Blue had flown me to the entrance of the Cloud and Mist Mountain Range before reluctantly heading back. My mood was indescribable great. This was extremely good. Even though I had experienced some difficulty, I had settled Xiao Jin's matter and also got the support of the Dragon clan. The burden on my shoulders lightened a little.

After settling this matter, I should head home to visit my parents. There was still a month's time before school reopens. I could still make it.

Volume 6: Chapter 18 – Warm Familial Love

I set up a permanent magic array at a relatively secretive location so that I wouldn't need to walk and could instead teleport directly back here next time.

I drew a returning magic array beside it. This place was far away from my house. Thus, to be together with my family for a few more days, I had decided to head back using the magic array. Even though the distance was a little far, with my current magic power, there shouldn't be any problems.

I stood at the center of the magic array, raising the Sukrad's staff, and muttering the chant for the returning spell. Speaking of the magic staff, I am growing increasingly fond of it. It wasn't only just because of its enormous power, but also because of its beautiful appearance. This was the most beautiful magic staff that I had ever seen; just holding it gave me an imposing feeling.

As I chanted the retuning spell, the Sukrad's staff's transparent gemstone shone out misty gold light rays before it activated the magic array. The feeling of the return was different from before due to the Sukrad's staff. It shot out a gold light barrier that protected me so I didn't feel the twisting and tearing of space.

I had arrived at my destination, my hometown, without any discomfort.

Standing on the permanent magic array that I had previously established, I cast my eyes upon the small village that looked more prosperous than before, my heart filling with warmth. I shouted, "Mom, dad, I'm back!"

I held on to the Sukrad's staff and rapidly ran towards the village. The Sukrad's staff had a special property, I couldn't store it in my spatial space so I could only hold it by hand.

When the villagers saw me, they greeted me excitedly. Since my magic was outstanding with my status as a Royal Advanced Magic Academy's student, I had become a well known figure in the village. I hadn't even reached the entrance of the house when my parents appeared to welcome me. This might be because I had given them quite a sum of money so they needn't work for a living anymore and could instead stay home to practice their magic.

I emotionally shouted, "Father, Mom, I am home!"

Mom cried as she hugged me. "Child, you're finally back. Mom really missed you this past half year."

The village chief came over. "Zhang Gong, you're the pride of our village. I will go and prepare for your family of three to come over to my house to have lunch at noon and hold a welcoming reception."

I said smilingly, "How can I do that? It will be too troublesome for you."

The Village Chief replied, "How is this troublesome? Don't be modest. Father of Zhang Gong, you all come over as well."

Father replied, "Alright! We thank you for your hospitality."

The Village Chief happily walked away. The rest of the villagers surrounded our family of three, especially me. They kept on asking me questions. Their enthusiasm was almost unbearable to me. When some people saw my beautiful magic staff, they insisted on examining it. My head was spinning as I had never encountered such a situation before in my life. This was really humans fear becoming famous, pigs fear becoming fat.

This was really even more tiring than fighting consecutive battles. Finally, I was able to escape home with my parents.

I had noticed after coming home that the house was totally different. The entire house was three times larger. The rooms had changed from four rooms to eight. The middle of the living room was bright and spacious. I astonishingly asked Father, "Father, why has our house become like this? Did you spend money on it?" The money I gave them was sufficient to build such a house. However, it wasn't like mom's and dad's style. They usually preferred to live a low-profiled life.

Father smiled bitterly, "Your mother and I would never waste money on a thing like this, our previous house was sufficient for us. This was given to us by the Village Chief. I rejected him initially, but the Village Chief said that the house couldn't be too unpresentable when you marry in the future and insisted on getting it done up. You take a look at how big it is right now, cleaning it is such a chore and now we'll owe them a favour for nothing at all."

So, there were that many benefits to being strong with magic, even the house was renovated. I asked, "Is there something that the Village Chief and the others want from me? If not, why are they fawning on you like this?"

Mother shook her head and replied, "They don't. However, ever since you became outstanding, our standard of living and position in life has completely changed. Currently, apart from Village Chief's house, our house is the largest and the degree of respect received from the entire village sticks out like a sore thumb."

I replied smilingly, "Isn't that great?"

Father replied, "Why is that good? The feeling of being looked at by everyone is really unbearable

I replied, "If you're not used to this life here, I can bring you to live somewhere else. We can just return this house to them."

Mother shook her head. "Your father and I are nearing the big five-zero already, this place has rolling hills and crystal clear water, we aren't leaving to go anywhere. We know that you won't live here in the future, but you must come to visit us frequently. We don't ask anything else of you."

I nodded and clung onto mom's arms. "Mom, I will. If I marry in the future, I will follow your example in finding a place with a good environment to settle down. When the time comes, I will bring you over to have a look, and you can move over to live with me if you like the place."

Father teasingly replied, "Good boy! From your words, it seems that you have a partner already."

My face flushed. "Stop talking nonsense. Things have not even begun to take shape yet."

Mother also understood this time and excitedly said, "Quickly tell mom whose family that girl is from!"

I bitterly smiled, "I also don't even know which family she is from. I can only tell you that she is my classmate at the academy. She is called Mu Zi Mo. She isn't very pretty, but her personality is good."

Father chuckled, "I don't mind if she is pretty or not, as long as she has a good personality. Look at your mother, even though she isn't that beautiful, I am still in love with her for so many years. Haha!"

Hearing Dad's front words, Mom's eyebrows had became vertical. It looked like she was going to blow a fuse. However, after hearing the last sentence, she instantly softened. She angrily said, "You senile man! If I'm not pretty, could it be that you're the pretty one? You don't have a single bit of self-awareness."

Father didn't refute what Mom had said and told me, "Son, are you tired? You should get some rest."

I shook my head. "Father, I am not tired at all as I used the returning magic array to come back, so the journey was very easy."

Father said in amazement, "Where did you use the returning magic array? It should be a high level magic."

I nodded. "It isn't too far away either. Your son's current abilities is extraordinary. What is a small returning magic array to me?"

Volume 6: Chapter 19 – Returning to the Academy

Father suddenly became serious and said, "Don't be too complacent. Arrogance is the biggest obstacle for a magician to surpass."

I struck out my tongue and replied, "I understand."

Mom protected me by saying, "You're hateful. Our son just came back and you are lecturing him already. Our Zhang Gong is strong."

Father showed a helpless expression. "You will spoil him this way."

I smiled mischievously, "How can it be that way? I am the most obedient."

Father replied, "Since you are not tired, let's go to the Village Chief's house. We must go and face him. He has been taking good care of us while you weren't at home after all."

I replied, "Must we head there now? Let's wait for a while longer. Father, Mom, how are your magic training going?"

Father replied arrogantly said, "It is going very well. Even though we gave up our original magics for light magic, we still have good results. I can freely use any Intermediate light magic. Your mom is almost at the same level as me. She is slightly lousier than your father."

Mom rebuked, "Who is lousier than you? Didn't you lose against me previously and ran away?"

Father embarrassedly smiled and said, "I was going easy on you. It can't be that you didn't see that correctly?"

Mom revealed a disdainful expression. "Zhang Gong, you can teach us new spells. Our improvement is quite fast."

I tested Father and Mom's magic power and said frowning, "As you didn't initially learn light magic, your magic power isn't pure enough. It will be difficult to learn advanced magic."

Father and Mom dejectedly looked at each other. Father replied, "If we can't learn it, we will then forget about it. We mustn't forcefully learn it." I could see their determination for magic. After all, in this Kingdom, who didn't want to become an expert in using magic. I suddenly thought of an idea and said smilingly, "Don't be uneasy ! I have a plan."

After saying that, I took out a few pure purple magic crystals from my spatial space. "Take a look! What is this?"

Father and Mom shouted in amazement, "Purple crystals?! How are there so many precious things in your possession and in such large quantity?"

I said smilingly, "How can this be regarded as something? I still have a lot of them. These were given to me by my friends. I definitely got them honorably. I will leave a few for you. After meditating, you will pass your magic power into the purple crystal. It not only will cleanse your magic power, it can also help to improve the gathering speed of your magic."

Mother took the largest purple crystal. "This is really beautiful. I want this piece."

Father said, "You can't do that! We must split everything by halves…." The two of them argued about the distribution. I finally became the mediator and gave them equal amounts of crystals to settle their argument.

I said, "That should be alright. Let's head off, my two guides. Aren't we supposed to be heading to the Village Chief's place?"

On the way to the Village Chief's house, Father suddenly told me, "Zhang Gong, I forgot to tell you this, but Ao De and Luo Yu are married."

I said surprised, "Really? They were in such a rush. They didn't wait for me to come see their wedding. That brat!"

After reaching the Village Chief's house, Ao De and Luo Yu came over. I walked over and gave Ao De a punch. "You're good! You brat! You didn't wait for me before you wed!"

Ao De held the place that had been hit and replied, pretending to be in pain, "Aiyo! A magician is hitting a person."

I laughed as I scolded him, "Aren't you a magician?"

Luo Yu said smilingly, "That's enough! Stop fooling around and quickly get inside." After half a year, Luo Yu had become even more beautiful. I smiled and replied, "Congratulations in becoming my younger brother's wife. You must discipline Ao De more from now on."

Luo Yu replied, "Of course! If he cheats on me, I will tear his ear out." Ao De hastily expressed that he wouldn't even dare to do that. Seeing their blissful relationship, I really envied them.

The other mishap was that there was only the Village Chief's family in the house, and he didn't invite the other villagers. The Village Chief said, "I fear that you will find it annoying if there are too many people so I didn't call for the others to come. Zhang Gong, quickly take your seats. The dishes will be coming up soon."

Everyone ate the meal happily. To congratulate the marriage between Ao De and Luo Yu, I gave them each a purple crystal. The Village Chief was even more polite to our family.

When the next day began, I mentored my parents on how to learn advanced light magic and also helped them remove the impurities in their magic so that they will be able to learn even better magic spells.

Time flew past, and it was already rapidly approaching the reopening of the academy. In this month in the village, I was treated by everyone like the moon that was cared for by the stars. In this month, I realised that I had put on some weight.

"Father, I will be heading back tomorrow."

"My son, learning is most important. Even though you have already achieved some accomplishments, you still need to work hard!"

I nodded. "Don't worry! I will definitely work hard!"

Mother said smilingly, "You must bring back our daughter-in-law for us to take a look the next time you return."

My face flushed red. "I will try my best. If I can really bring her back with me, you will then really have a daughter in law."

Mother replied, "You must work hard! We are waiting to carry our grandson!"

I used the returning magic array to return to the academy the next day. What I didn't know was that a long time would pass before the next time I returned home.

I decided to visit Teacher Di.

Arriving at the Royal Intermediate Magic Academy, I saw Teacher Di taking care of his flowers and grasses. I shouted, "Teacher Di, I'm back!"

Teacher Di stood up and replied smilingly, "Zhang Gong, you're back. How is it? Did you send Xiao Jin back?"

I replied, "The trip can be counted as successful. Not only did I send Xiao Jin back, I also gained the support of the Dragon clan. They have agreed to help us out during the final battle against the Monster King. I saw many different kinds and types of dragons. It was an eye opener."

Teacher Di replied, "Quickly tell me what happened!"

I told him everything that happened in the Dragon Valley and also let Teacher Di see the Sukrad's staff.

Teacher Di sighed. "Zhan Gong, your life is really exciting. If only I am 50 years younger, I will definitely want to roam these places with you."

I clung onto Teacher Di's arm, "Isn't it that you, old man, have taught me well? Without you, how can I have what I have today?"

Teacher Di felt consoled and stroked his long mustache, expressing a heartfelt smile on his face.

Volume 6: Chapter 20 – Ke Zha's Succession

Suddenly, Teacher Di's expression changed and said, "There is something that I must tell you. During this holiday, the Kingdom's King had passed away. Prince Ke Zha is now the King of Aixia."

I asked astonished, "Did the Emperor of the Kingdom really die?"

Teacher Di sighed. "That's correct. It was already very difficult for him to hold on to his life for such a long time. Once the Prince was in power, he immediately gave titles to us few old fellows. Everyone of us has a title of Royal Magician. You also received that title."

I chuckled. "The prince… Ah! I mean the Emperor of the Kingdom really knows how to win over the hearts of the people."

Teacher Di said, "I think that Ke Zha still did quite a good job with this matter. Not only did he reward us, he will also reward the two large families and Dun Yu Xi. He also made Chuan Song, Dun Yun Xi and I the mages to protect the Kingdom. Currently, the power of Duke Te Yi has gradually withered. Aixia should temporarily settle down for a while."

I replied smilingly, "Isn't that great? It is what we expected. We didn't do all that work for nothing."

Teacher Di nodded. "I have returned your title to Prince Ke Zha. You are still too young. You shouldn't act too ostentatiously. It won't give you any benefits that way. You won't blame teacher, right?"

I chuckled. "Why will I blame you? I can't even thank you enough. I don't want to be an official. I won't have any freedom. I still have the little piglet Mu Zi to take care of. Meat is precious and the price of the meat is even more precious. If there is a large piece of meat, when both of them occur together, then that life will be more suitable to me."

Teacher Di mockingly scolded, "I really don't know what to do with you brat. There is also a reason why I didn't want you to get that title as I didn't want you to be too distracted. Your task is extremely difficult. The Monster King isn't that easy to deal with. Even if you have the help from the Dragon clan, you still mustn't be complacent. Do you understand?"

I gravely nodded. "I understand. You don't have to worry about that."

Mu Zi only returned on the opening day of school. Her complexion didn't look good. She looked extremely pale. I caringly asked, "Mu Zi, what happened to you? Are you unwell?"

Mu Zi forcefully smiled and replied, "It is alright. My head is just in a little pain."

I touched her cold forehead. "If you are really uncomfortable, you must tell me. According to your current magic power, you shouldn't fall ill easily."

Mu Zi replied, "I'm fine, really."

I felt that there was something different from Mu Zi's gazes towards me. It seemed that her love for me had deepened. However, there was a tinge of grief in her eyes. It seemed that something saddening had happened.

I called some of my good friends to eat together at the Ascending Jade Tide that afternoon. Ma Ke was flushed with success. With his good relationships with the Magisters and his own strong powers, it was already enough to make exceptions to be given the title Prince by Emperor Ke Zha. Furthermore, with the whole heartedness that Hai Shui was treating him, he was currently the happiest person in our group.

What made me curious was that Mu Zi seemed to have lost her appetite. When I gave her what she loved to eat, she only nibbled at it. She was completely different from before.

After the meal, I brought her to a quiet corner of the academy. "Mu Zi, what is the matter? Is there something wrong? Can you please tell me?"

Mu Zi suddenly threw herself at me and hugged me tightly. "Zhang Gong, I really don't want to be apart from you. I really don't want to!" As she said that, she cried.

She was extremely emotional right now. I gently patted her back. I knew that if I didn't let her cry it out, it would be bad for her body.

After a long time, Mu Zi finally stopped crying. She looked up with tears on her face. "Zhang Gong, if our parents disagree for us to be together, what will you do?"

I caressed her long hair and gently replied, "Silly girl, what silly words are you saying? How will that happen? I am so outstanding! They will definitely like me." After I saying that, I even showed a disdainful look at the world.

Seeing my comical actions, Mu Zi laughed and turned her tears into laughter. After her mood lightened up a little, she went back to be dejected. She replied, "What I just told you is the truth. I am not joking with you. Please quickly answer me."

I resolutely replied, "There is no one that can tear us apart, even if it is your parents. If they don't agree with our relationship, I will try to convince them. If that really can't work, I will snatch you and bring you somewhere far away. We will hide at a place that has enchanting scenery so that they won't be able to find us. After a period of time, we will… Hehe! When the raw rice becomes cooked rice, I will bring you back to meet them again."

Mu Zi sighed and leaned on my opposite shoulder as she replied, "If that can work, it may be a good plan. But will it really work?"

I frowned and said, "From what you said, your parents really don't accept our relationship. Why am I not good enough? They haven't even met me before so why are they banning our relationship?"

Mu Zi replied, "You don't understand. It isn't whether you are good or not. It is just…."

Seeing that she wanted to talk but stopped, I anxiously asked, "Then what is it? Please tell me. We will then be able to think of a solution."

Mu Zi shook her head and looked at me aggrieved. "Forget it! You will find that out in the future. Let's walk one step at a time."

I was already out of options. She always said this sentence at every crucial moment. However, I didn't have the heart to force her to say it. I just silently hugged her using my warm embrace to ease the burden in her heart.

I unintentionally looked down and saw that the shoulder she had been lying on was drenched. I said smilingly, "Aiya! You take a look at this. My shoulder is completely filled with your snivel and tears. You must help me wash my clothes." As I said that sentence, I immediately lightened the heavy atmosphere.

Mu Zi pushed me away with her face reddened. "You're detestable. You're the one that have snivels. I will help you to wash it off." As she said that, her eyes flashed with cunningness. A small waterball formed in her hand.

I look at her bewildered before turning around to run away. Mu Zi tossed the small water ball at me as she quickly chased after me.

After dinner, I had escorted Mu Zi back to her dormitory and also advised her to rest well.

I solitarily walked in the quiet training field. What Mu Zi had told me during the day really weighed deeply in my heart. It seemed that if Mu Zi and I wanted to be together, it wouldn't be easy. What was really going on with her?

Volume 7: Chapter 1 – Assassin in the Palace

After returning to the dormitory, I couldn't fall asleep as I lay down on my bed. I truthfully couldn't be apart from Mu Zi. Even though we hadn't known each other for a long time and Mu Zi didn't have any special characteristics, other than her magic and appetite. But my heart had already been locked onto her. Her every frown and smile moved me. Seeing her in such pain, how could I feel good at all.

As I tossed and turned restlessly in bed, a sharp flute tune suddenly sounded outside. Someone was shouting loudly, "All students are to immediately gather at the training field! This is an emergency! All students are to immediately gather at the training field. This is an emergency!"

What happened? They were calling all of us to gather this late in the night. This was the first time this happened since I first entered the academy.

I tidied my uniform and ran to the training field, holding the staff. I saw Teacher Zhen and Teacher Lie stand grimly at the training field. When Teacher Zhen saw that the majority of the students had come, he shouted, "Students, time is pressing. A rescue signal have just suddenly sounded from the palace! I am unsure what happened. All year 5 students and year 3 Zhang Gong and Mu Zi are to immediately follow me and the vice Principal to enter the palace. Make haste!" Ma Ke was living in the palace and the Hai Yue three siblings had returned home.

Looking at Teacher Zhen's face, I knew something major had happened. I teleported to his side and asked, "Teacher Zhen, what is going on?"

Teacher Zhen frowned and replied, "I also don't know what is going on. The sentry on duty suddenly saw the fireworks that are signals for assistance come from the palace. Something major must have happened. Let's go! Where is Mu Zi?"

I looked in every direction but didn't see her. I replied, "I don't see her anywhere. It may be because she was too tired in the day so she hasn't woken up. I will go find her."

Teacher Zhen replied, "Forget it! Don't call her. We must make haste immediately and if we don't head out now, we will be too late!"If there was danger, it would be better that Mu Zi didn't go. I also didn't persist and teleported out with Teacher Zhen.

Teacher Zhen had brought the 100 of us quickly into the palace. From a far distance, we could see blazing flames soaring all over the palace. I heaved a sigh of relief and said, "So, it is just that the palace caught fire. Teacher Zhen, you don't need to be anxious."

Teacher Zhen's expression darkened. "No, it isn't that simple. Let's quickly head in." He shouted at the 5th year students behind him, "Everyone, pay attention! As we head in, you are to simultaneously extinguish the fire. Be careful!"

After he said that, he gave me an eye signal before heading in first. I hastily followed behind Teacher Zhen, the palace was abnormally disordered. Teacher Zhen pulled a guard and asked, "What happened?"

The guard replied panting heavily, "There… There are assassins. A large group of black clothed people invaded. They are extremely powerful. The guards and the Royal Mage Union suffered severe casualties and injuries."

Teacher Zhen and I were astonished. I asked, "It can't be Duke Te Yi, right?"

Teacher Zhen replied, "It is still uncertain. Let's hurry into the inner palace. They must be here to assassinate the Emperor."

Teacher Zhen and I shot towards the depth of the palace. There was suddenly a few black clothed people fighting with the people from the Mage Union in front of us.

Teacher Zhen shouted, and a dimensional slash struck.

There were five black clothed people. When they saw us charging over, two people were dispatched from the team. There was thick black fog being released from their hand. I shouted, "Teacher Zhen, it is dark magic. Be careful!" After I said that, I immediately struck a light blade at them. The light and dark magic went against each other. The opponent's' magic was obviously not as skillful as I was, and the black fog immediately dispersed from my attack. The remainder was absorbed by Teacher Zhen's dimensional slash.

Teacher Zhen and I were mutually overwhelmed with shock and simultaneously shouted, "Demon race!"

The black clothed person facing us coldly said, "It is too late even if you find out now. Your Emperor may have already been killed by us. Haha!"

Teacher Zhen and I knew that time was pressing. I said, "I will give this two to you to deal with. I will deal with the other three." With Teacher Zhen's power, even if his opponent used dark magic, they definitely wouldn't be his match.

I used teleportation to go past them and headed towards the other three Demon race's men. There were only three mages from the Royal Mage Union bitterly fighting on. They would soon be unable to fight. I knew this wasn't the time to be lenient. I gathered the fusion of magic and battle spirit spell and struck them with all of my might.

The three dark magician immediately dispatched one of them to try and block the light blade I had shot out. The fusion spell's power could be seen as it had effortlessly broke his defensive spell and cut him in half.

I raised the Sukrad's staff highly and chanted, "Light Elements, my friends, please turn into unceasing Holy light to eliminate the enemies before you!" As I had experience in fighting with the Demon race, I knew no matter if it was offensive or defensive spells with light magic, it would cause them severe injuries.

The two Gold Dans in my body quickly rotated. The gold light surged out from my body and struck out like lightning. I used a defensive spell so I wasn't afraid that I would harm the people from the Royal Mage Union. Thus, even though the attack was an advanced spell, I had used all of my strength.

The remaining two dark mages mournfully let out blood-curdling screeches under the shine of the Holy light. Their entire body seemed to have caught on fire. They rapidly burned and quickly turned into ashes.

At this moment, Teacher Zhen had already dealt with his opponents and ran over. Looking at him, he seemed to have used up a lot of his energy. We pulled the people from the Mage Union who were crouching on the ground as they panted profusely. Teacher Zhen anxiously asked, "What happened? Quickly explain!"

The mage recognised Teacher Zhen and said as he panted, "Principal, you should quickly go! We don't know how many assassins there are. They all use dark magic and are extremely powerful. It is impossible to stop them. Our Royal Mage Union has suffered disastrous losses. They may already have attacked the interior of the palace."

Teacher Zhen told me, "Zhang Gong, let's quickly head in."

As we moved, Teacher Zhen told me, "The dark magic is too powerful. The two that I had dealt strenuously with should be only at the Advanced Mage of the Demon race. It looks like the best way to defeat them is with your light magic. Don't ever hold back and use your quickest speed to deal with them!"

I replied, "I understand."

We consecutively met with three to four small assassins that we eliminated at rapid speed like a gale that blew away dead leaves.

There was a lofty palace in front of us. Teacher Zhen said, "Let's quickly go! It should be the inner palace in front of us."

When we dashed into the inner palace, we saw a far from good situation. There were 100 black clothed Demon race's member with their faces masked currently invading the inner palace.

Volume 7: Chapter 2 – Forbidden Light of Eternal Recovery

The Royal Mage Union members who were under Dun Yu Xi's leadership fought with all their might. It was his Earth magic's defensive power which was extremely powerful that had let them persevere to now.

After looking everywhere, the Emperor Ke Zha's figure wasn't there. He should have hidden himself.

Ma Ke was also inside the Royal Mage Union group. From their looks, they should be unable to hold on much longer.

Teacher Zhen whispered to me, "Zhang Gong, you must gather your power to use your most powerful spell. I will assist you as you do that." After he said that, Teacher Zhen placed his hand on my back and rich magic power surged out from it. I knew that he was doing this as light magic had a much better killing effect.

Under the assistance of the first ranked Magister of the world, I felt that my magic power was exceptionally abundant. The two gold Dans in my body had turned completely transparent. I suddenly developed a bold thought.

I started to chant, "Great light elements! You possess limitless powers. Darkness is extremely small before you. The eternal light ray that circulates the horizon. I plead to you to descend to the world and give me the endless recovery spell to recover all pains, to let all sufferings to be far away from us, Forbidden Light of Eternal Recovery!"

After I chanted, Teacher Zhen felt that all of his magic power in his body seemed to have been emptied by me. He was overwhelmed with horror and flew back retreating. A stream of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He feebly leaned at the side before shouting in astonishment, "Zhang Gong, what are you doing? That…That is a forbidden spell!"

My entire body seemed to have been torn apart. The light elements from my surrounding frantically gathered around me. The two Gold Dans shot up from my upper Dantian before floating behind my back to form an enormous hexagram. Both of my hands raised high up involuntarily. The staff in my hand emitted peculiar light rays. There were numerous unknown types of symbols that appeared from the transparent gemstone of the staff surrounding me.

At this moment, the demon race's invaders already felt that something was not right. Even though they didn't know what magic spell I was using, the pressure from the spell had terrified all of the demon race's members. One of them shouted, "Not good! Quickly stop that human!"

Immediately, 7-8 demon race members attacked me. However, once their offensive magic touched the strange symbols at my side, they strangely disappeared.

Ma Ke shouted. "Boss, you come and quickly annihilate them!"

My eyes seemed to have turned completely gold like when I was using the Holy Sword. The hexagram on my back became increasingly brighter. There was a faint shadow that appeared behind my back. Teacher Zhen was amazed to see that there were six light formed wings.

I felt that my entire body was inflated to the point that I would soon explode. I gave a desperate long roar after lifting my head. All of the power had gathered at the Sukrad's staff was shot out as a pure golden light ray towards the sky. After the golden ray shot out, my entire body went soft. I immediately collapsed on the ground.

When everyone thought that nothing had happened, an anomaly appeared. The initially dark skies suddenly lit up. A fragrance first permeated down. After that, it was a golden light rain.

Teacher Zhen shouted "Not good!" As the light rain poured down towards the enemies, it also poured down onto the group on my side. The entire palace was enveloped in the light rain.

One of the black clothed people suddenly shouted, "Everyone! Quickly use your best defensive spell. This is a light forbidden spell." After he said that, he took out a black rod from his spatial space and raised it high above his head. The black rod gave off light rays as dark as ink that enveloped him and another black clothed person in it.

The light rain was already pouring down. Teacher Zhen was amazed to find that the light rain didn't have any offensive power. It had treated his wounds instead. It was just his magic power that needed some time to recover. Not only him, all of the people from the Royal Mage Union also felt that effect.

The demon race members at the scene didn't have such luck. When the light rain got in contact with their dark magic defensive spell, it gave off 'Zi! Zi!' sounds. Their defensive spell was incapable of blocking the invasion of the light rain. Just like the two demon race members that was ignited by the Holy light, they all underwent spontaneous combustion. The palace instantly was filled with fire lights.

I was still conscious. It was just that I was feeble from using too much power. As I was immersed in ecstasy, I unexpectedly was able to use a forbidden spell. I had succeeded. I really succeeded in using it.

Actually, the main reasons why I could use the forbidden spell was due to my good luck. Firstly, my magic power was already at the Magister's level. Secondly, I had the assistance of the world's first rank Magister. Furthermore, my staff wasn't just a toy but a God's weapon. Without its help, the spell would have backfired on me. The most important reason was the Holy Sword's power. The magic spell that I had casted was light magic. Since the Holy Sword was used for a long time by the Radiant God's battle angel, Mi Jia Lie, the Holy Sword had a light attribute. With all those reasons colligated on me, I was able to smoothly cast out the forbidden spell.

Ma Ke already ran over and supported me. He shouted, "Boss, you're too awesome. You just used a single spell to deal with all of the enemies. If you had come a little later, we really wouldn't be able to hold on."

Dun Yu Xi also walked over and patted me, who was still feeble. "You're really a hero that is still a youngster. If I haven't guessed wrongly, the spell you just used should be a forbidden spell."

I slightly nodded and weakly replied, "I am able to use it due to the magic power assistance that Teacher Zhen gave to me. How is the emperor?"

Ma Ke replied, "Father suffered some injuries. He is currently at the far back of the group. If they were able to breakthrough, I am afraid……"

Dun Yu Xi said, "The enemies' plans were too meticulous. They first set fire everywhere to disperse the guards' attention. After that, they gathered their powers to release a few large scale spells, making my team suffer a great loss. As the Kingdom has been peaceful for a few hundred years, the security of the palace also isn't tight. If you didn't come in time, I'm afraid that they would have succeeded."

A hundred people came running from outside. They were the academy's year 5 students with Si Wa leading them. Si Wa ran over and asked Dun Yu Xi, "Teacher, what happened? Why did our wounds heal in a short moment while the opponents suddenly underwent spontaneous combustion?"

Dun Yu Xi smiled and said, "Regarding that, you will have to ask your good brother." As he said that, he pointed at me.

Volume 7: Chapter 3 – The Heart Bleeds

I awkwardly smiled. "It is just a small trick. Hehe! Aiya! You see, they have already been burnt into ashes. Hmm! Why are those two people not burned to death?"

The two that didn't undergo combustion were the two that were protected by the black rod's power. Even though they didn't combust, they collapsed onto the ground without any strength to fight back.

Dun Yu Xi shouted, "Arrest them!"

There were four people that came running out of the Royal Mage Union to arrest the two demon race members. The demon race member that used the black rod to protect himself had a malicious look. He shouted without any intentions of surrendering, "Wait for my race's main army to invade! It will also be the time for your deaths!"

The other demon race member's eyes held a hidden bitterness. He just fixedly looked at me. I was stunned as those eyes looked very familiar.

Dun Yu Xi ordered, "Take down their masks!"

The demon race member with the malicious eyes had his mask removed first. It was an old man with a face full of wrinkles. He coldly snorted and raised his head.

When the other demon race member's mask was removed, everyone from the academy was startled. When I looked at him, I felt as though all of the blood in my body had rushed towards my brain.

I shouted, "Mu Zi, why is it you? Why are you here? Could it be they caught you?"

Mu Zi looked fixedly at me with her eyes filled with dismay. She replied. "Zhang Gong, I have let you down. I am from the demon race. This is the worry that I have never been able to tell you."

All of the cells in my body went stiff. Every thought kept surging up. I had finally understood why Mu Zi initially didn't want to accept me, and also why she didn't want me to heal her with light magic; why she wanted to be a matchmaker for Hai Shui and I and why she had always wanted me to forget about her.

My eyes filled with despair. A mouthful of blood deep from my heart, violently sprayed out. I shouted, "No!!!!" In my eyes, the world had completely changed into a bloody haze. Mu Zi's figure gradually became fuzzy. Once my head slanted forward, I fainted.

My heart was in extreme pain. In the darkness, I could imagine as though Mu Zi was waving mournfully at me before she gradually fell into a dark whirlpool that was so deep that the bottom couldn't be seen.

I wanted to catch her but I just was not able to. I could only see her slowly become engulfed by the whirlpool. I shouted, "No! Mu Zi, don't!"

I screamed out for her and suddenly sat up. My entire body was drenched in cold sweat. Teacher Di walked over and said, "Zhang Gong, you have awoken. How are you feeling? Is there any discomfort?"

I shook my head and looked fixedly at Teacher Di. My tears came out, dropping onto the blanket. Teacher Di gave out a long sigh before sitting by my side, embracing me.

I immediately wailed loudly and cried out, "Why? Why are the heavens treating me like this? Why is this happening? Teacher Di, please tell me that this isn't real and is only a dream, right?"

Teacher Di rubbed my back and benevolently said, "Child, you must accept this fact. It is real. This can't be changed by human strength. I only just found out that you are really that deeply in love with her."

Mu Zi's attractive reflection appeared unceasingly in my mind. My heart was ice cold. Mu Zi unexpectedly was a spy from the demon race and also participated in attempting to assassinate Emperor Ke Zha. With such heavy crimes against her, it was impossible for her to remain alive for long.

After a long time, I slowly controlled my sorrow. I sat properly and asked, "Teacher Di, how is she now?"

Teacher Di shook his head slightly. "Child, don't put any hope on that thought."

I exclaimed, "It can't be that she is already dead, right?"

Teacher Di replied, "Listen carefully, she currently isn't dead but her magic is sealed. She has been locked up in the Sky Prison with the other remaining demon race member. That's right! I heard that you used a forbidden spell that also killed a majority of the demon race members that invaded. Is that true?"

Mu Zi's time being locked in the Sky Jail wouldn't last for many days. I dejectedly said, "That's right. I had used the Eternal Recovery light spell. It is also the only forbidden spell that you had taught me."

Teacher Di curiously said, "It is a recovery spell and not an offensive spell. Why is there such a strong killing force?"

I replied, "It is due to the demon race having dark attributes so no matter if it is an offensive or a defensive light magic, it'll have a strong killing force."

Teacher Di nodded. "So it is like that. Child, you are not allowed to go anywhere and just stay at teacher's place. Your injuries aren't bad, just that you have overused your magic power."

I begged, "Teacher Di, can you please let me see Uncle Ke Zha?"

Teacher Di's expression instantly became strict. "You can't! Even if you go, there won't be any outcome! Do you understand that the demon race and beast clans have joined their armies and are now moving restlessly at our border? Furthermore, the demon race has come to assassinate Emperor Ke Zha and almost succeeded. Mu Zi's position in the demon race isn't low. How can he let her go because of you?"

I rolled onto the ground from the bed, kneeled down and begged as I cried out saying, "Teacher Di, I beg you, to at least let me give it a try."

Teacher Di helped to lift me up and sighed saying, "Child, what do you want me to say to you? You should know that the human race's hatred towards the demon race and beast clans has already been deep rooted. Since you are unwilling to give up, you can give it a try. But you can't do any foolish acts! Do you understand?"

I elatedly nodded my head and stood up. "Thank you! Thank you so much! I will head there now."

Teacher Di helplessly said, "Child, are you that anxious? If you want to go, you have to recover first. After your magic power has recovered, you can go after that."

After standing up, my head felt very giddy. I knew that Teacher Do had said the truth. I immediately sat on the bed and did my best to gather my magic power. 'Mu Zi, I will do my best to help you resolve this matter. No matter what, I will save your life. Even if I have to exchange my life for yours, I am also willing.'

After resting for a day, the two gold dans had rapidly recovered my magic power. Even though I wasn't at my peak state, eighty percent of my magic power had been recovered. Actually, when I had made thirty percent recovery, I could already enter the palace. However, in my heart, there was a shadow. If Emperor Ke Zha didn't want to let Mu Zi go, what should I do then?

I wore an ordinary white magic robe and with the staff in my hands, I headed towards the palace. 'Mu Zi, nothing must happen to you. I am coming. Even though you are from the Demon race, my love for you hasn't decreased at all. You must wait for me.'

Volume 7: Chapter 4 – My Decision

As I neared the entrance of the palace, the guards on duty stopped me. My expression dampened. "Please help me to report that the Royal Advanced Magic Academy's Zhang Gong wishes to meet with His Majesty."

After hearing my name, all of the guards displayed respectful expressions. The guard immediately respectfully replied, "Please wait for a moment. I will immediately go and report."

The guard quickly walked back out from the palace. "Magister Zhang Gong, His Majesty has requested the pleasure of seeing you."

I nodded and followed him into the palace, which was different from before. Even though there were some burned parts that was still not repaired, the guards in the palace and mages were placed every three steps and a sentry every five steps. The security of the palace was exceptionally tight.

After walking to the entrance of the inner palace, the guard shouted, "Magister Zhang Gong request for an audience."

Emperor Ke Zha had personally came forth. When he saw me, he elatedly said, "Zhang Gong, you're here! Let's chat inside."

After entering the inner palace, I immediately kneeled and said, "This commoner hadn't properly protected Your Majesty and risked His Majesty getting injured. My crime is severe enough for me to be punished to death ten thousand times."

Ke Zha's expression changed and said angrily, "Zhang Gong, what are you saying? If you are counted to have protected me unsatisfactorily, then the others are rice buckets! I am lucky to have you this time. I am preparing for you to become the Kingdom's protector. All of you withdraw. I have some matters to discuss with Magister Zhang Gong."

Ke Zha had ordered the guards to withdraw before pulling me up. He said in appreciation. "Zhang Gong, you're really the Kingdom's pillar. If you didn't use the forbidden spell, the outcome would be unconceivable."

I hastily bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, it was something I ought to do. Moreover, the forbidden spell was successful under the power of Teacher Zhen and mine with some luck."

Ke Zha replied, "There is no outsider here. You don't have to call me a Majesty. You just call me Uncle Ke Zha. I am more familiar with you calling me that. No matter what, you're a great contributor to the Kingdom. You don't have to continue studying at the Advanced Magic Academy, come to the palace. I will appoint you to be the Vice head of the Royal Mage Union and be the protector of the Kingdom."

Seeing that his mood was good, I felt that I should say my purpose in coming here. I kneeled again and replied, "Uncle Ke Zha, I don't need any rewards. I just beg for a favour."

Ke Zha waved his hand and replied, "How can you be unrewarded. You don't have to plead to me about that matter. I know what you want to say. I can grant you anything but that."

I anxiously replied, "Uncle Ke Zha, I……"

Ke Zha sighed and replied, "Zhang Gong, you must know that she is from the demon race. This is no longer just my problem. I need to account for all of the officials and also the commoners. Do you understand? I haven't done any punishments on Mu Zi for your sake. I can only promise you that before execution, she will be slightly more comfortable."

When I heard about the execution, my mood abruptly dampened. I knew that in usual cases, Mu Zi and her accomplice wouldn't be exempted from their punishment. I was afraid that other than the stubborn old man, nobody would be my opponent. There wouldn't be any of her race that would come to rescue her.

I sighed and replied, "Since that is the case, Your Majesty, I will withdraw first. As for the position for the Vice head of the Royal Mage Union and to be the protector mage of the Kingdom, please forgive me that I can't accept those roles as I am used to the academy's lifestyle."

After leaving the palace, I definitely wouldn't let Mu Zi die. I squinted my eyes. I wanted to save her and must immediately do so. If not, once Teacher Di and the others were to interfere, it wouldn't be good.

After making a firm resolution, I went to a place not far from the palace to formulate a plan. The demon race members were imprisoned at the back of the Sky Prison. They surely would be heavily guarded. It would definitely be difficult to enter it. What should I do?

After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't find a good plan. There wasn't much time already. I just had to try to breakthrough it once and must move at a speed like a thunderbolt that couldn't be heard to save Mu Zi.

I first looked at the surrounding of the Sky Prison. There should approximately be 1000 guards. One tenth of them were mages. With this strength, it would be difficult for me to break in and might have the chance of being unable to leave it unless I massacre them. No matter what, the situation had not wavered my determination to save Mu Zi. I bought some things from the city first before returning near to the Sky Prison.

I suddenly thought about the escape scroll that Teacher Di had given me. If I used my magic power to envelop all of us, we should be able to send them out from there. With it, my chances of success had increased by far. What I had to do now was to break into the Sky Prison.

I sat cross legged on the floor to gather my magic power one last time.

After two hours, I appeared at the entrance of the Sky prison. Just as I neared the entrance, I was blocked by the guards. The guard asked, "Who are you? Don't you know that this is the Sky Prison?"

I coughed and raised the Sukrad's staff in my hands. "It is me, the Royal Mage Union's Vice head and the protector mage of the Kingdom, Zhang Gong Wei."

After hearing who I was, the guard immediately bowed and replied, "I don't know what is the purpose of the protector of the Kingdom coming to this place."

I said displeased, "I come here from the order of His Majesty to check on the two demon race prisoners."

The guard said in difficulty, "I don't know if you have the written order from His Majesty. We don't dare to let you in with just your words."

I yelled, "Outrageous! It can't be that you don't know who I am, right? You dare to obstruct my matters. Do you still want your heads to be on your neck?"

When the guard wanted to explain. There was a mage that walked out from the Sky Prison. From the symbol on his body, it seemed that he had a Great Mage ability. He asked, "What is going on? Why is it so noisy?"

When he walked over and saw it was me, he immediately smiled obsequiously, "So it is Lord Zhang Gong, is there something wrong?"

I coldly snorted and replied, "I want to take a look at the two criminals from the demon race, but they denied me entry."

The mage said to the guards, "You're all have such nerves to do that. Don't you know the two demon race prisoners were apprehended by Lord Zhang Gong? Without Lord Zhang Gong's help in annihilating the assassins, we would have already been killed under the hands of the demon race. I can't vouch for others but there definitely is no problem for Lord Zhang Gong. Quickly let him in!" The mage thought , 'Since this child had just saved the lives of the kingdom, he definitely is an important person in the Kingdom and is also the Vice Head of the Royal Mage Union, managing them. I have to take this chance to curry favor with him. There is a possibility that there will be a meteoric rise in my position in the future.'

The guards momentarily kept quiet out of fear and let me in. It seemed that the mage was currently trying to curry favors from me as he said, "My Lord, the spell that you used at that time was too remarkable. This junior has never seen such a powerful spell. I am afraid that even Principal Zhen isn't your match."

Volume 7: Chapter 5 – Jail Break Success

I said seriously, "Don't shoot off your mouth! The most respectable teacher to me is Teacher Zhen. That old man's accomplishments are not something that you can talk about."

The mage immediately smiled his apology and replied, "Yes! Yes! I had misspoken. Please forgive me."

My expression softened and replied, "That's enough. You also don't need to be too courteous. Your efforts in protecting His Majesty is also not small. I will say good words about you to His Majesty."

After the mage heard that he became elated and replied, "I will first thank you before hand. You can just tell me whatever you need in the future." As I saw him bending and scraping to curry favor from me, I felt an indescribable annoyance but I must feign civility with him. I said, "You can lead the way in front of me. I want to have a look at the two demon race prisoners. Have they been interrogated already?"

The mage replied, "There wasn't enough time for that as the commotion in the palace was too vicious. The majority of the people are currently cleaning up the after mess. They should be interrogated in two day's time. Please follow me." I thought elatedly, 'I wouldn't have not thought that I would meet with this silly fool that is blinded by greed, making it this easy for me to infiltrate the prison.'

The security of the Sky Prison was really strict. That mage's position must not be

low here because when we walked, we were unexpectedly unhindered. After crossing four doors, we were in the depth of the Sky Prison. The mage told me, "My lord, this is the Sky Prison's most strictly guarded place. The two demon race members are locked up in the number one prison cell of Sky Prison." After he said that, he pressed on the stone wall at the side.

There was a small crack in front of us. There was a flight of stairs heading downwards. I thought, 'If it wasn't him leading me, I really won't be able to find it. It seems that it is fated for me to save Mu Zi.'

We walked down. At the bottom, there were three jail cells. In the innermost cell, Mu Zi and the older demon race were in there.

I said to the mage, "You wait outside for me. I have some things to ask them."

The mage said with difficulty, "That…That won't be a good idea."

I glared at him and said, "Is it that you really wish to hear what His Majesty wanted me to ask them? The security here is so tight. It can't be that you're afraid that I will let them out, right? I also don't need you to open the prison cell."

The mage said in embarrassment, "Alright. I will be waiting for you upstairs. But you must make it quick."

I waved my hands at him impatiently.

When the mage walked out, he was still worried and sealed the opening that led down to this place. I sniggered in my heart, 'If I wasn't completely prepared, I won't have come to this place.'

Mu Zi and the old man from the demon race seemed to be unconscious. All of their limbs were locked by thick iron chains and shackled to the wall. Since time was pressing, I held onto the jail cell's door and shouted, "Mu Zi, Mu Zi, quickly get up!" After shouting for a couple of times, there still wasn't any response from both of them.

I gathered a small water ball and tossed it over. "Pah!" The water ball landed on Mu Zi's face.

Mu Zi slowly woke up and looked around bewilderedly. When she finally saw me clearly, she instantly woke up before crying out in fear. "Zhang Gong, why are you here?"

I anxiously replied, "That's enough. You don't have to say anymore. I'm here to save you. Time is pressing. We will talk after getting out of here." I circulated my magic power before gently waving the Sukrad's staff in my hand. A gold light ray shot out. No matter how strong the lock, it still was unable to withstand my spell. The lock broke into two. I pushed open the door of the prison cell before charging in.

As soon as I opened the prison cell, the alarm bell suddenly rang loudly, filling the Sky Prison with its sound. The people outside shouted, "Someone has infiltrated the Sky Prison! Make haste!" After that, the mechanism at the top opened. That mage was the first to come charging downwards. After looking at the scene below, he said in astonishment, "Lord Zhang Gong, what are you doing?"

I was too lazy to answer him so I shot a light wall to lock him outside and continuously circulated my magic power to completely seal the entrance of the place. I turned around and used a light blade to cut open Mu Zi's shackles. Mu Zi weakly slumped to her knees. I hastily supported her and asked, "Mu Zi, how are you feeling?"

Mu Zi's face paled and with her large eyes filled with tears, she replied, "Zhang Gong, why did you come to save me? Don't you know that you will ruin your future by doing this?"

I bitterly smiled and replied, "Now is not the time to talk about that. Let's immediately leave this place!" As I said that, I took out the escape scroll from my sleeve. Mu Zi pulled on my clothing and said, "Please save him as well. He is one of my teachers.:" As I looked at Mu Zi's wishful eyes, I thought, 'Since saving one is a huge crime already, saving two is equally the same. Moreover, with this old man, he can assist and protect her on her way back.'

I nodded and unlocked the shackles of the old man of the demon race. At that moment, the light wall sealing the entrance suddenly shook violently. This was bad. An expert had come.

As expected, Dun Yun Xi's voice was heard from outside. He shouted, "Zhang Gong, what are you doing? Don't you know that this is an act of treason to the Kingdom?"

I said clearly, "Teacher Xi, I am sorry. I just can't do nothing and look on helplessly as Mu Zi is executed. Currently, I just don't care about anything anymore."

The demon race old man also woke up and watched the scene playing in front of him in surprise. I shouted, "If you want to live, quickly come to my side before it is too late!" Dun Yun Xi's attack was really strong. I would soon be unable to hold on.

The demon race's old man wasn't ordinary. He knew that time was pressing. He moved as fast as he could to latch onto me. I chanted as I used the Sukrad's staff to simultaneously support the defensive barrier and also activated the escape scroll. The defensive light wall shattered at the same time as the activation of the scroll. Dun Yun Xi was the first one to charge in. He was the head of the Royal Mage Union. With a look, he already knew what I planned to do. He immediately struck an enormous earth blade.

However, it was already too late. After the flash of light, the three of us, Mu Zi, the old man and I simultaneously disappeared from the prison.

Dun Yun Xi told a mage at his side viciously, "Quickly go and report this to His Majesty and also gather the Royal Mage Union and guards! Immediately search through the city! They won't be able to escape too far away."

As he saw the mage leave, Dun Yun Xi sighed heavily. "Zhang Gong, you're such a silly child. You'll ruin yourself this way. Don't you understand that? The word 'Love' really can cause a lot of trouble. That's right! Who let him in?"

The mage that had led me walked over shakingly. He kneeled down and cried bitterly. As he cried, he said, "Lord Union head, I did not mean for this to happen. He said that it was on the order of His Majesty….."

Dun Yun Xi said angrily, "You're useless! Someone, come and lock him up first. After capturing the escaped prisoners, we will interrogate him."

Volume 7: Chapter 6 – Mu Zi's Identity

There was a flash of light at an isolated corner in the capital's far west, and three people appeared.

I had Mu Zi in my arms, stared at old man from the demon race lying on the ground, then knotted my eyebrows and surveyed our surroundings.

Mu Zi asked, "Where is this?"

I thought for a bit and replied, "My escape scroll is limited to an escape radius of three to five kilometers; This should be somewhere within the city. It is too dangerous, they will be able to find us soon. We need to leave the city immediately."

Mu Zi smiled bitterly, "How are we going to do that? I'm afraid the city's entrance has already been locked down, and we can't even fly out even if we wanted to. Just look above you."

I raised my head and discovered that there were numerous wind mages hovering and searching in all four directions, I hastily drew both of them aside. It sure seemed like our luck wasn't too bad, as there were not many people in our immediate surroundings. I placed Mu Zi on the ground before chanting the spell that the Dragon King had transmitted to me. A light halo spread out with me as its epicentre.

Mu Zi exclaimed, "Don't! We are sensitive to light magic!" However, she quickly realised that what I used wasn't light magic.

I replied, "This is a seal removal spell. You two should recover your strength as quickly as you can. I will draw a magic array, we need to leave the city immediately."

Mu Zi's eyes were filled with complicated expression. She gave me a long, deep stare before sitting down cross-legged to meditate. The old demon race man didn't even hesitate, as he knew recovering his strength was the key to leaving this place alive, and started his rejuvenation without speaking a single word. Judging from the thick black fog that gradually emitted from his body, I knew that if I hadn't used use the forbidden spell that day, I might not have been his match. This old fellow definitely had reached a Magister's standard. His position within the demon race was definitely not low.

As I was contemplating, I was also rapidly drawing the teleportation array. In order to succeed in completing the array in a small amount of time, I had selected one that could only teleport us 20 kilometres.

After an hour, I wiped off the perspiration that had formed on my forehead. I had finally completed it.

Actually, although drawing this magic array wasn't a hard task for me, I drew the array with utmost care as I was being extremely sensitive to the voices in my surroundings and was intensely nervous and feared of making even the slightest mistake.

I shook Mu Zi gently, saying, "It's done. We can leave now."

Mu Zi opened her eyes and replied, "I've recovered about ten percent of my magic power and am no longer that feeble. Teacher, how are you?"

The old demon race man's eyes flew open and a cold glint flashed across them. "I've recovered almost thirty percent of mine. Pity, my staff had been snatched away by the vile human race, otherwise I would have been able to recover much faster. I really feel like going another round with them."

I coldly snorted and said, "Talk less crap, hurry up and enter the array! We won't make it if we don't leave now!"

The old demon race man instantly turned furious. "Brat! Do you know who you are talking to? You're seeking death."

I refused to yield and rebuked him instead, "I don't know who is the one that is seeking death. If it wasn't for Mu Zi, I wouldn't have saved you. Hmph!"

The old demon race man fumed, and said, "You….."

Mu Zi said anxiously, "Stop quarreling! Teacher, as an elder, saying a few less words won't hurt you."

The old demon race man seemed to be a little fearful of Mu Zi and jumped into the array first. I also pulled Mu Zi into the magic array. Due to it being a short teleportation, there wasn't a need to place a protection around us. I activated the array and teleported to the west side.

After golden light flashed, we appeared on a small hill outside of the city. I heaved a sigh of relief and said, "We were lucky that we didn't teleport into a river. If we did, it would have been terrible. It is temporarily safe here. You can continue recovering your magic power. I will draw a bigger teleportation magic array."

Mu Zi replied, "Zhang Gong, I……."

I interrupted her and said, "Let's not talk now. We will chat later after I've drawn the magic array." Even though we were out of the city, it was still not completely safe so I drew a long range teleportation magic array to teleport Mu Zi again.

The sky had gradually darkened. This time, I had set up a magic array that would enable them them to teleport about 500 kilometers away. This should be enough for them to escape successfully.

The sky finally darkened completely, and my magic array was finally complete as well. I woke Mu Zi up and took out a lot of rations from my spatial space to her. As I handed her these, I said, "This is your most favorite dried fried Dragon meat. This bottle contains Ascending Jade Tide beverages. These are some fruits you can eat on the road. Quickly! Quickly place them into your spatial space. Here are some magic gemstones for you, they will come in handy during your travels." I passed every single item to her with my head lowered. After giving her everything I wanted her to have, I discovered that Mu Zi's face was filled with tears.

Mu Zi threw herself into my bosom and sobbed loudly.

"Why do you treat me so well? Why?"

I tightly embraced the woman I loved the most and enjoyed the warmth she gave to me. Even though it was the same embrace, I was able to feel that this was the first time she had totally opened up and given herself to me. Her heart would no longer be able to run away from me.

After a long time, I pushed Mu Zi away. "Alright! You should compose yourself. You should be able to tell me the truth now, right?"

Mu Zi looked at me fixedly and replied, "Yes, I can tell you about it now. Take a look." After she said that, her right hand rapidly flashed past her face.

Ah! Mu Zi's entire person had undergone a transformation. However, even though she, she, had transformed……., she had transformed into the demon race's princess I had seen at the Serene Dream Lake. Even though we've only met a single time, her flawless figure had been engraved deeply in my memory. At that moment, countless thoughts surged through my mind.

Mu Zi not only changed her appearance, her voice also had changed into a beautiful sound of a black-naped oriole, just like the time when I first met her. "Now, you should know why I was filled with animosity towards you when we first met at the academy."

I said dazedly, "You…You're the demon race's princess. Why is it you? How can it be you? Mu Zi? Where is my Mu Zi?"

Mu Zi's flawless appearance expressed helplessness and replied, "I just am Mu Zi, always have been, and always will be. The first time you met me in school was me, the one you love is the me that had changed her appearance and voice. Do you understand?"

"Change of appearance and voice?"

Mu Zi nodded, "That's right. I used one of the demon race's special appearance change spell. No medication is needed. It directly changes the structure of the face and modifies the muscles of the throat. The change in appearance will be flawless that way."

Volume 7: Chapter 7 – The Past Vanishing Like the Wind

I gradually snapped out of my shock and muttered, "It's actually you."

Mu Zi saw that I was still in slight disbelief to accept that fact. She placed both of her hands on the sides of my face before tiptoeing and deeply kissing me with her tender and beautiful red lips.

Mu Zi's familiar sweet taste invaded my entire body. I tightly hugged her and intensely responded to her kiss.

Mu Zi, who was in my embrace, said, "You should now believe that I'm Mu Zi."

How could I still not believe her? Everything else may have changed but this familiar feeling had not changed in the slightest. Her body still was as soft as usual. Her lips were still able to bewitch me. Who would be unhappy that their wife had become beautiful anyways? My feelings for Mu Zi had deepened. I tightened my hold on her delicate body and embraced her again before sitting down. I lightly kissed her forehead and said, "Tell me. I want to hear your story."

Mu Zi replied, "Before I start telling you my story, can you tell me why you still rescued me even after knowing that I am from the demon race? Could it be that you really don't care about your status?"

I smiled a little before replying, "What powerful position do I have? Even if I did, it still wouldn't matter to me. I'm different from the rest. I don't hate your demon race; so what if you're from the demon race? You are living in this world, you all have the right to live. You also haven't hurt me. In my eyes, your race and the human kinds are no different. All life forms are equal. However, that wasn't the main reason why I decided to save you."

Mu Zi asked, "What is the main reason?"

I plainly replied, "In my heart, you're more important than my life." It was such an easy statement but it expressed my heartfelt feelings. Currently, my heart was extremely calm. It couldn't be said to be happy as I had forfeited my chance to live life happily and comfortably. However, it also couldn't be said that I was in pain as I had successfully pulled back the person I loved the most from the clutches of death.

Hearing what I had said, Mu Zi raised her head. Her reddened beautiful large eyes looked at me before she violently embraced my neck and wailed bitterly.

I patted her back and said, "It's ok. Don't cry. I still want to hear your story."

Mu Zi slowly calmed down and said, "My father is the demon race's Demon God Emperor, Qi Meng Satan."

I interrupted and said, "If that is the case, aren't you called Mu Zi Satan?"

Mu Zi nudged me and replied, "Don't interrupt me and listen to what I have to say. My name is still Mu Zi Mo unless I inherit my father's position. Only then, will I be called Mu Zi Satan, as Satan is the highest title to be called by. It was the name of the first Magic God Emperor. In order to commemorate him, the following rulers will use his surname."

So it was like that. It was still lucky that Mu Zi's surname wasn't Satan as that surname was just too horrible.

"I am father's most doted third princess. I have two elder brothers. My mother died when I was young so I was raised by my father as though I were a jewel. Initially, I could have had a life that was free of worry, but my brothers were a disappointment, breaking my father's heart."

I couldn't hold back my curiosity and asked her, "How were your brothers a disappointment? It can't be your father wants you to inherit his position, right?"

Mu Zi didn't mind my interruption this time. She sighed and said, "My eldest brother is bold, but not very astute, while my second brother is ignorant and incompetent. He does nothing all day except eating, drinking and fooling around. Father has scolded them frequently for their behavior. As for me, during one of the major magic competition at the palace, I unintentionally exposed my talent in magic and was discovered by my father and few of my teachers. Father momentarily became elated. Our demon race isn't the same as your human kind. The throne can be inherited by women."

I was astonished and said, "So your father really wants you to be the Magic God's Empress?"

Mu Zi nodded. "From then on, I lost my usual freedom. I was taught consecutively by a few teachers about magic, tactics, the knowledge to govern the Kingdom, etcetera. I was also appointed to be the successor of my father. You may not know this but our life is more arduous compared to yours. This is the reason why the demon race and the beast clans are always wanting to invade the human kinds.The left side of the world is almost completely barren. The areas for cultivation are extremely limited. Approximately two and a half years ago, my father thought that the time was ripe so he gathered a majority of the military power of my Radiant Light Empire to form into a large army of the demon race. We also allied with the Mist Martial Empire, which is the beast clans. We were prepared to invade Ström Fortress . They also sent Teacher Fu Rui and I to investigate your land. Who knew that we would meet with you, our enemy at the Serene Dream Lake. Do you know that you're the reason for the delay of my race's invasion of human kind?"

I asked in surprise, "Because of me? Why? That Teacher Fu Rui that you mentioned is he the bamboo pole that I had defeated?"

Mu Zi replied smilingly, "You're detestable. You're still calling him Bamboo Pole. When you called him that at that time, you nearly angered him to death. You should know that the only magic that counters our dark magic is light magic. The reason why we infiltrated as humans was to check if there are a lot of light element magicians on your side. Do you still remember what you said?"

I blankly asked, "What did I say?"

Mu Zi replied, "You previously said that the entire Eastern continent knows light magic and that you were the worst. At the time, I knew you were being glib and immediately let Teacher Fu Rui return to the demon race to report this to my father. My father replied by telling me to first infiltrate the Kingdom of Aixia to investigate the situation and to also learn about the knowledge you humans possesses. Just like that, I entered the Royal Advanced Magic Academy. I had used my abilities to enter and also used a revamped wing magic. Even though I may not be your match, if I use my full power, it will definitely be hard for you to defeat me." While saying this, Mu Zi's face expressed a proud expression.

I chuckled. "You're awesome! Oh, that's right! I want to ask you how were you able to cross the Ström Fortress to come to the Eastern continent?"

Mu Zi replied, "You're so stupid. It can't be that only you human kind have knowledge of teleportation magic array right?"

I said surprised, "You had teleported over, and now you're going to teleport an entire army. Won't the Ström Fortress be immediately devastated?"

Volume 7: Chapter 8 – The Truth of the Assassination

Mu Zi glanced at me and said, "Do you really think it is that easy to teleport over? Tian Duo Mountain is blocking the path to reach Ström Fortress. A Great Mage won't be able to use his abilities to teleport over. If we really wanted to teleport over, a Magister's assistance is needed for that to work. Moreover, a Magister can at most send over two people at a time. How many Magisters do you think we have at our side? We have almost the same number as yours. If it that wasn't the case, we would have invaded long ago. When we met previously, Teacher Fu Rui had used an entire month's time. After teleporting five times, you then met the few of us, as Teacher Fu Rui's strength had been mostly depleted at that time. If not, I doubt you would have been able to escape at that time. Xixi!"

I asked, "What about the few women that came with you here? Where did they go?"

Mu Zi's expression dampened and didn't directly answer the question before she continued to reply, "After coming over to your side, I had been captivated by the beautiful sceneries and delicacies. Your side rarely has killings so everyone spends their time here peacefully. After two years, I almost forgot that I am of the demon race."

I sighed. "If you can really forget about it, it would have been great."

Mu Zi nodded. "That's right! Truly a pity that I couldn't do that. As the demon race's princess and the successor to the throne, I must always think for my people so I had continuously send back information to my home country. After a year, I found out that you were lying when we first met as only a minority of the human race learns light magic. But I kept on delaying that information as I really didn't want to watch a war erupt. After a short period of time, you had come. When I first met you at the academy, my thoughts were complicated."

I chuckled, "It can't be that you fell for me at that time, right?"

Mu Zi said displeased, "Pei! At that time, I hated you to the core. After that, you had written a love letter to pursue me. I initially felt that you just wanted to toy with me so I ignored you. However, I increasingly felt your sincerity. I gradually was unable to bear rejecting you. I knew that it would be wrong to let it happen but I couldn't help myself but to accept you." I tightly embraced Mu Zi. My heart was surging out with overflowing love for her.

"It is all your fault for disturbing my heart. Every time you gave me a love letter, your position in my heart deepens. I was so tempted get closer to you but I have been suppressing my feelings as I knew that it was impossible for us to be together. After the semester ended and I headed back to the demon race, I found out how terrible was the feeling missing someone after parting from you. I also realized that I had completely fallen for you at that time."

I replied affectionately, "I also love you." We hugged each other and remained wordless for a long time. I suddenly thought about something and asked, "I just thought about something. Is Si Feng Ri one of your people?"

Mu Zi shook her head. "No, I don't know that person!"

It looked like my guess was right. Si Feng Ri really was the subordinate of the Monster King.

"After heading back, I couldn't hide any more information. After father knew about the situation at this side, he rejoiced and immediately started to deploy the invasion. He also didn't allow me to return here. I didn't know how my father got the information that Ke Zha Ao Er had inherited the throne of the Aixia's Kingdom. My father clearly realized that Ke Zha wasn't simple and was more shrewd than the deceased Emperor from the information we relayed to him. He knew that if he were to fight head on, he would definitely suffer a huge loss. Thus, he started to plan the assassination. When I came to the eastern continent two years ago, my magic clan had already teleported a vast number of advanced level mages and warriors. It included three Magisters and 96 Magic Scholars. In total, there were about 400 of us. After my father assassinated Ke Zha, he would really start invading the human race."

I asked, "Then why were you back?"

Mu Zi distressingly said, "It is all because of you. I really couldn't bear missing you. I then told my father that I had the most understanding to this side's matters and begged him to send me with a few teachers to assist in the assassination, therefore I came back again, as I also couldn't wait to return to the academy. When I saw you at the academy, my heart felt really complexed. When you said to me that you wanted to elope with me, I was extremely moved but I had to complete my mission. Therefore, on that night, we commenced the invasion."

Mu Zi looked deeply at me before continuing to say, "But, the human race enjoyed peace for far too long, as the invasion succeeded without a hitch. The Royal Mage Union was unable to stop our advancement, and we quickly invaded the inner palace. When we were close in succeeding, you and Teacher Zhen came and used a magic spell that made me quake in fear, even l now.. Zhang Gong, what spell did you use? I still didn't know what happened. Two hundred of my demon race were instantly annihilated. Teacher had said you had used a forbidden spell. Is that true?"

I nodded. "He's right. I had used the light forbidden spell—-Eternal Recovery Light. That spell was an ultimate recovery spell. However, since it is light attribute, it carries a strong killing force to you. I also didn't know it was that potent. I was lucky that that old man protected you. If not, I would have regretted it for my whole life."

Mu Zi sighed, "The eight women that you asked previously had all died under that spell. Even though you killed so many of my people, I still couldn't hate you at all. I was worried about you discovering my identity instead. I was actually eager to die under that spell as you would at least won't know where I have gone and in your heart, you will forever know me as the wind element mage–Mu Zi that isn't from the demon race."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You will forever be in my heart even if you're from the demon race."

Mu Zi replied, "I really didn't know what you were thinking. When you spat out blood after hearing I was from the demon race, my heart was in great pain. I thought that everything was over. When I was locked up in the prison cell, I didn't want to think about anything. I just wanted to die quickly. What I feared most was that I would meet you again. I wouldn't have thought that you would unexpectedly come to save me. Won't you regret doing that?"

I resolutely shook my head. "Saving you was the best decision I had made. I won't regret about it in my entire life."

Mu Zi's entire body shuddered. "Zhang Gong, there isn't any place for you here anymore so come to the demon race with me? Even though you're a human, I will definitely persuade my father, alright?"

Volume 7: Chapter 9 – Behind Bars

I said with great difficulty, "But will your father really accept me? Don't forget that I had killed so many that were from your demon race, making you suffer a great loss. Furthermore, I wouldn't be able to watch as you invade the humans.

Mu Zi remained speechless for a long time before replying, "Maybe the loss this time will make my father stop his wild schemes to invade. I have an extremely important position in his heart. Will you come with me? I don't want to part from you ever again."

"How can I also want to be apart from you?" Mu Zi's words had greatly moved me. If the war could be avoided, it would be even better.

When I was apprehensive, the old man from the demon race suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Not good! There is magic undulations!"

I was startled and immediately discovered the strong magic undulations. I shouted, "Quickly enter the magic array! They may be coming to pursue us!"

It really proved my guesses. After a white light shone, Teacher Zhen, Teacher Di, Teacher Long, Teacher Lie and Teacher Xi, all of which appeared before us.

When Teacher Di saw me embracing Mu Zi, he shouted angrily, "Zhang Gong! What are you doing? Don't you know what you are doing are acts of treason towards the Kingdom?!?"

The other Magisters looked at me with pity.

I let go of Mu Zi and kneeled on the ground before replying to Teacher Di. "Teacher Di, I have let you down. But I really couldn't watch Mu Zi die!"

Teacher Zhen sighed and said, "Zhang Gong, even if you wanted to escape, you're too careless. The markings you left on the ground had sold you out. After we tried many places, we finally found this place. Stop continuing your wrongdoings!"

Teacher Xi said, "That's enough! Don't say any further. Zhang Gong, if you immediately help us capture those two from the demon race, with your previous contributions and with us old fellows' help as your guarantee, you still can turn the situation around."

I shook my head dejectedly before violently striking my fusion spell of magic and battle spirit at the few teachers. I turned my head and shouted at that old man of the demon race, "I can't hold on much longer. Quickly, go and take Mu Zi away from here."

The few teachers weren't able to defend themselves in time and was forced down the hill.

Mu Zi shouted mournfully, "No! Zhang Gong, if I go, we have to go together."

The old man from the demon race held her and said, "Princess, we have to go now. If not, it will be too late. There is a chance that he won't die if he stays here."

The few teachers already readied themselves. They wordlessly shot hand magics over. I knew time was pressing and shouted. "Mu Zi, quickly go! If I don't die, I will go to the demon race to find you." For her to escape, I couldn't not lie to her. As I shouted, I used all of my might to cast a light blade to form a light rain that blocked the advancement of all five teachers.

The old man already activated the magic array whilst I was already crumbling under the attack of the five Magisters. It was impossible for me to withstand their attacks. If it wasn't for the Sukrad's staff, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to withstand their attacks.

After the light ray shined out, Mu Zi and the old man disappeared.

Under the overwhelming attacks, I couldn't use the Holy Sword's power. I just used the remainder of my powers to cast a light blade, erasing the remnants of the magic array. I wouldn't do the same mistakes again.

"Peng!" The Fire Dragon cast by Teacher Long broke the defence barrier and it struck on my chest. I soared like the clouds, I violently spat out blood. Even if it was like this, I knew that Teacher Long had held back. If not, I, who had used up all of my strength, would already turn into ashes.

I fell on the ground 33 metres away. The Sukrad's staff fell out from my hands. There was a tinge of happiness expressed from the corner of my mouth as Mu Zi had already succeeded in escaping.

Teacher Di hugged me and tears flowing down as he said, "Zhang Gong! My child, is it really worth it?!"

I replied as I groaned, "Teacher…Di, I..failed to live up to…your expectations. I..am sorry. Please….take this…magic…staff as your…last re…remembrance of me." After I said that, my head tilted forward and I fainted.

It was so painful and hot! My entire body seemed like it was torn apart.

"Water, I want some water." I said dazedly but no one paid any attention to me. I became light headed and passed out again.

I didn't know how much time had passed. As I groggily opened my eyes after regaining my consciousness, I was submerged into total darkness. 'Where am I? Is this hell? It shouldn't be as I feel pain.' It looked like my wounds weren't light. As I tried to circulate the magic power in my body but found that I had none. I knew that my power had been sealed. With my body void of strength, it was impossible for me to break the magic seal.

My eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and it seemed to be a stone prison. I was lying on a stone bed, with withered grass beneath me. My limbs were locked by at all four corners of the stone bed. Actually, there wasn't a need for locks as I couldn't even move my fingers. I also definitely couldn't talk.

The left side of the wall suddenly opened and a servant came in. She held a bowl in her hands as she walked to my side. She used a spoon in her hand to feed me a mouthful of the thick congee in the bowl. There had a sweet medicinal taste to it but I didn't know what it was.

Just like that, I was fed 18 times. If three times meant a day, I should already had been in here for 6 days. I gradually recovered my ability to talk. My wounds weren't as painful, but the other parts of my body were still immobilized.

After the servant came in on the 19th times, I hoarsely asked her, "Where is this?"

After hearing my voice, the servant was startled and shook her head without replying me before feeding me the bowl of thick congee as usual.

I anxiously asked, "Say Something!"

The servant ignored me before turning around and walked out.

After a short period of time, the stone wall opened again. From the sound of the foot step, I knew that it was another person that came.

Ke Zha's voice voiced out, "Zhang Gong, was it really worth the trouble?"

I replied huskily, "Uncle Ke Zha, is that you?"

Ke Zha replied, "It is me. How are you? How is your body recovering?"

I replied, "It is alright. My wounds are already fine but I still couldn't move my body."

Ke Zha sighed, "You child. You really know how to solitarily make decisions without consulting others, and had even destroyed your future for that demonised woman from the demon race. You had hurt the hearts of the few teachers and even Principal Di has fallen ill."

Volume 7: Chapter 10 – The Demon Race Invades

I said, "Uncle Ke Zha, I won't plead for you to forgiveness, but please, just give me a quick end. I know what I have done was a gargantuan crime. How is Teacher Di?"

After a long time, Ke Zha replied, "You had saved me once and also helped me to gain the throne. You also have so many people protecting you. Therefore, how can I kill you? But alas, your crime is too severe, so I can only imprison you. Since your power is too strong, I had them seal your magic power and also fed you medicine that softens your cartilages so that it will be impossible for you to escape. Maybe after many years, Ma Ke will succeed in my position and let you out. Teacher Di shouldn't have too many problems. It is just that his fury was so strong that he got ill. In his heart, you're his hope and something that he can be proud of but now, due to your feelings for that girl, you have ignored his feelings. This is a stone prison that is in my original prince mansion. Except for me, there isn't anyone that knows about this and it is heavily guarded. I won't let anyone that knows you see you as I don't want the same mistake to occur again. You should just stay here quiet and steadfastly."

'No wonder I couldn't move. So that was what happened. There was no strong relationship between me and the Emperor. If he had just killed me, I wouldn't have blamed him. His way of problem-solving has greatly disappointed me.' I sighed and replied, "I have let Teacher Di down. If there is a next life, I will do anything to repay that old man, even if I've to work as an ox or horse for him. Thank you for not killing me, Your Majesty."

Ke Zha replied helplessly, "I know you will blame me for doing this but you have to know that I am the Kingdom's Emperor. I have my responsibilities to my people. Your power is too strong so I can't let you go to side with the demon race. Do you understand?"

I knew that even if I swore that I wouldn't side with the demon race, he wouldn't have believed me. I didn't say anything to see if he still had anything left to say.

Ke Zha continued on to say, "Now, Aixia has already allied with the two big kingdoms Xiuda and Dalu and will all be sending military forces to assist the Ström Fortress. Maybe not long from now, wars will erupt again throughout the entire world. You just rest up here. I will leave first. If I have any time, I will come to see you again."

I shouted, "Please wait a minute, Your Majesty. Have you captured Mu Zi and the other man?"

Ke Zha sighed and replied, "You have succeeded. The two from the demon race have already escaped."

At that moment, I rejoiced. My sacrifice wasn't a waste. Mu Zi was finally out of danger.

The stone wall rang out and Ke Zha left.

My heart surged out like the sea. Even though Ke Zha's actions were ruthless, I still had my life. I tried to circulate the magic power in my body time after time but the seal was too rigid. Except for the small amount of power from the Holy Sword I felt in my body, there wasn't any magic undulations. The medicine that softened my cartilages had not only restrained my battle spirit, but had also made it impossible for me to use the Dragon clan's removal of seals spell due to my lack of strength. Now, I was just a cripple.

One day, two days, three days…

I didn't know how much time had passed, and I had already completely given up. If someone were to see me, they would see that I had lost a lot of weight and my complexion had paled. I didn't know how much longer I could hold on.

Emperor Ke Zha returned again today.

His expression was severe and just looked gloomily at me. I asked, "What is it, Your Majesty? Did something happen?"

Ke Zha nodded. "The demon race and the beast clans have allied and is already starting to invade Ström Fortress ."

I was astonished, it couldn't be that Mu Zi didn't convince her father to stop the invasion, right? I anxiously asked, "When did this happen?"

Ke Zha replied, "It is the the day before yesterday. We had already send out the fourth, seventh and twelfth armies to stop the advancement with Principal Long leading them."

I asked, "Is Teacher Di feeling better already?"

Ke Zha shook his head. "I don't know what is really going on with him but he hasn't been doing his job properly."

I nodded. "I'll have to trouble you to check on that old man. Is there something you needed for me by coming to visit me this time?"

Ke Zha replied amazed, "You're really smart. If you didn't betray the human race, it would have been so much better. I am currently not afraid about the Ström Fortress as the defense there is extremely rigid. What I fear is that the method the demon race used to enter the back of the Ström Fortress. We currently don't know how those assassins were able to enter the eastern continent. You had spent sometimes with that demoness of the demon race. I came this time is to ask you if you know how they were able to come over."

I replied, "I know how the demon race came over. You shouldn't need to worry about that as they will need to have a Magister to bring their people over and will deplete their strength due to the immense magic power needed to activate the teleportation array. Moreover, the previous assassination had made them loss a lot of their forces. Even if they were to teleport over, there won't be a lot of them." 'I am a human after all. I definitely don't wish for the magic clan to invade us. A terrible situation will occur that way.'

Ke Zha heaved a sigh of relief. "Zhang Gong, thank you for telling me such a good news. I can relax a little that way. Rest up." After he said that, he turned and walked away. It seemed that he had come in here just to gather information.

The demon race had already started the invasion. I didn't know what the front line was like. I didn't know if Mu Zi had participated in the start of the war. No matter what the outcome was, it didn't have any relation to me as I was just like a living dead person.

After another three days, and after I had finished eating the thick congee around noon, there was suddenly a bright light that shone beside me. As I had been in darkness for a long time, I instantly saw everything become completely white. I hastily closed my eyes.

When the white light disappeared, I squinted my eyes. There was a small delicate black masked person standing before me.

I asked, "Who are you? Why did you come here?"

The masked person pulled down the black mask. "Zhang Gong, it is me. I have come to rescue you."

After I looked straight at the person, I found out it was Hai Shui. I momentarily turned pale with fright. "Hai Shui, why did you come in here? You should hurriedly leave this place. If you're discovered, you'll be in big trouble."

Hai Shui chucked mournfully, "You can give up your life for Big Sister Mu Zi. Why can't I come to save you?"

I asked, "How did you come here? Ke Zha had said that he was the only one that knew about this place."

Hai Shui replied, "You have already been locked up in this place for two months. In these past two months, you had made a few of the teachers to be extremely anxious about you. Do you know that those few teachers have been monitored by His Majesty because of you, since he feared that they will come to save you?"

Volume 7: Chapter 11 – Recovering Magic Power

I dejectedly said, "I've caused trouble for those teachers."

Hai Shui walked to my front and squatted down. Her entire body shuddered and tears flowed out from her eyes. She took out a pill from her bosom and forced it into my mouth. She gently caressed my thin and pallid face and said, "How can they treat you like this? Big brother Zhang Gong, you've really suffered."

The pill liquefied and flowed down my throat. My stomach instantly seemed to work and my energy slowly rejuvenated. I asked, "It is the antidote to the powder that softened my cartilages?"

Hai Shui nodded. "You should try your best to recover your strength and magic powers. If you want to get out of here, you've got to rely entirely on yourself."

I asked, "You still haven't explained to me on how you got in here?"

Hai Shui replied, "After you were captured that day, Teacher Zhen came to find me and told me about what happened to you before asking me if I'm willing to go save you. I replied that I am. Teacher Zhen said that the few old fellows were being monitored so they couldn't come and rescue you. The Emperor would definitely not lock you up in the palace, so I have kept a lookout outside the palace to see when His Majesty would leave the palace. After waiting for a long time, he finally came out and I followed him here. However, I couldn't get in here as it was too heavily guarded, so I returned to tell Teacher Zhen. After he and Teacher Di discussed the problem, they decided to use a teleportation array to come and save you. We estimated the distance and tested it out a couple of times. We finally succeeded. Actually, I had already come in once but it was when you were asleep. I discovered you were abnormally weak and didn't want to startle you so I headed back and told Teacher Zhen. Teacher Zhen said you should have been given a medication that would soften your cartilages. I don't know where he got the antidote before letting me come again."

I had never thought that those few old teachers still had not given up on me after all this time and still cared for me. Tears flowed down my face and I replied choked with sobs, "You return and help me to thank Teacher Zhen."

Hai Shui replied, "Time is pressing so I've got to go. I'll come again three days later. It will also be the time you make your escape. You'll have to spend three days recovering your strength."

I asked, "How is Ma Ke and your sister?"

Hai Shui sighed, "His Majesty feared that Ma Ke will come to save you due to your brotherhood so he locked him up. My sister hasn't seen Ma Ke for a long time already."

I replied in pain, "I never thought that because of me, I would have implicated so many people. I'm really sorry. You really shouldn't have come to save me. If something goes wrong, you'll ruin your future. I really don't know how to repay you, you've done such an immense favor for me."

Hai Shui's tears dropped on my face before she replied, "Big brother Zhang Gong, you don't need to say anything further. As long as you can give a small portion of your heart to me, I'll be satisfied. We're all your friends. You'll only know our feelings during dangerous times. Now, I really have to go. Take care! We'll meet again in three days time. "After she said that, she took out an escape scroll from her bosom and teleported away."

I finally understood. Hai Shui treated me as though I was treating Mu Zi. It was out of willingness due to love. 'You'll only know our feelings during dangerous times.' was an extremely good phrase. You came to save me in my most difficult time. How could I not feel gratitude towards you?

Hai Shui's coming had let me break out from my living dead state; so everyone hadn't abandoned me. I still had hope. I really still had hope. As I gradually recovered my strength, my heart gradually started to work again.

After an hour, I could slowly move my limbs. Since I hadn't been moving for a long time, my blood flow wasn't very smooth. My entire body was still void of strength. I needed to supplement my body. 'If my body isn't healthy, how can I recover? Didn't Ke Zha said that as long as I couldn't get out, he'll grant me any wishes that I have? Let's give it a try!'

When the time of food came again, it was the same servant as per usual that came bringing over a bowl of thick congee. After I drank the thick congee, I told her, "Can't you bring something else the next time you come?"

After suddenly hearing me, the servant jumped in fright before asking, "What do you want?"

I bitterly smiled and replied, "I currently don't even have the strength to chew. What can I even eat. I want to drink some Earth Dragon Grass Jelly.. If this continues, even if the Emperor doesn't kill me, I'll definitely die from being too weak."

The servant looked at me cautiously before saying, "Alright, but don't you dare play any tricks on me."

I hastily replied, "I'm already like this. What tricks will I be able to play?"

The servant nodded and turned before walking out. As expected, my next meal was Earth Dragon Grass Jelly. I greedily drank the nutrients of the soup. I initially thought about having main dishes but I didn't want her to become suspicious about me.

The Earth Dragon Grass Jelly was worthy of being a strong supplement. I felt much better under the effects of it.

After the servant had gone out, I started to constantly move my body to regain my strength as fast as possible.

After a day had passed, even though my body was still extremely feeble, my battle spirit had gradually recovered. This was really great! I would no longer feel feeble after drinking it.

The time was ripe to test chanting the weird chant from the Dragon clan. I needed to recover my magic power as soon as possible.

After trying the first time, it didn't work. After trying the second time, it also didn't work. It was the same for the third time…….After trying it for 37 times, my entire body lit up. The familiar feeling of breaking the seal came back. A golden halo spreaded out with the center of my eye brows as its center.

After the golden light flashed, I could feel the Gold Dans in my body. I was wild with joy. The warmth of the Holy Sword came forth. The Gold Dans status were abnormally dispirited while the Holy Sword was the complete opposite. The warmth of the power permeated through my body, constantly expanding my shrunken meridians.

I didn't dare move the shackles and just quietly laid there, carefully circulating the power of the Holy Sword.

As I feared being discovered by the servant who came to deliver the food, I let my body recover gradually.

The Holy Sword's power was really strong. My body was soon recovered. Even though it wasn't comparable to how I was previously, it shouldn't affect my movements.

The two Gold Dans in my body regained their liveliness after I had continuously poured light elements into my body. They started to circulate in my body so that the recovery speed of my magic power would become much faster.

I hadn't craved for power like I had now. Even though I was still in prison, my mood had changed as if the sky and the earth had turned upside down. I felt that living was so amazing and that I could control my fate again.

Three days and 9 times of drinking the soup had quickly passed by, as I anticipated for Hai Shui to come release me.

Finally, the waiting was over. A light shone and Hai Shui's familiar figure appeared before me once again with a long bag in her hand. When she saw that I was still locked on the stone bed, she was astonished and whispered, "Zhang Gong, you still haven't recovered?"

I replied, "I already have, but I was afraid that they would figure it out, so I didn't break free from the shackles."

Hai Shui sighed in relief. "Hurry, we've got to go! We'll need to make use of the time we have."

After I silently circulated my battle spirit, my entire body emitted bright white light. After using strength on my limbs, 'Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!' sounded as I easily freed myself from my shackles. I leapt to Hai Shui's side. I also found that being able to stand was so awesome.

Hai Shui passed me the long bag and took out an escape scroll. "Let's be on our way!"

I took the long bag and opened it. It was my Sukrad's staff. When I tightly held onto it, I felt the ties that were linked by flesh and blood.

I took the escape scroll from Hai Shui. "I think it is better that I do it. You just have to hold onto my arm."

Hai Shui asked, "Are you sure you can do it with the current state of your body?"

I nodded. "No problem. I've already recovered half of my magic powers. As long as I don't face the powers of the few old teachers, I should be able to deal with them."

Hai Shui expressed a happy look and replied, "This escape scroll is Teacher Zhen's most recent research, It has the ability to determine the spot of the teleportation. It can send to an exact spot with a limit of 10 kilometers. In other words, it can send us to any position we want within a 10 kilometers range. I've already set the location so you can just activate the scroll." After I said that, she clung onto my arm and also stuck her body to mine.

I looked at her embarrassedly but seeing that she didn't have any intention to move back a little, I just let her be. I deeply inhaled before using the Sukrad's staff to cast a protective barrier around us before activating the escape scroll. The stone prison had lost our presence after a golden light flashed.

The feeling of using magic again was so moving. It felt as though I had gained a new life. I was extremely interested in everything and magics phenomenons. I was filled with love towards life.

After the light shone, I found that we had unexpectedly teleported into a room. The room was all pale pink in colour. It felt very comforting. The entire room was filled with sunlight. I asked Hai Shui in surprise, "Where is this? Did you set the location wrongly?"

Hai Shui reluctantly pulled away from my arm and pouted. "It is only you that set the location wrongly. This is my room."

I immediately was greatly alarmed. "What? This is your room? Why did you set this place as the location for the escape scroll?" It was unexpectedly Hai Shui's room.

Hai Shui replied, "What's wrong with my room? This place is safe and is also in my family's place. Who will come here to search, especially if it is my room?"

I blushed and replied abashedly, "I am a guy. If I stay in your room, it will damage your reputation and integrity."

Hai Shui's expression darkened. "I'm not scared. Why are you? Your heart only holds Sister Mu Zi. If this is her room, you won't be so conservative."

Seeing that she got a little angry, I didn't dare to rebuke her. I changed the conversation topic by asking, "How are the few teachers? Is Teacher Di feeling better? How is the situation at the frontlines?"

Hai Shui said with her eye brows frowned, "You ask so many questions at one go. How do you expect me to answer your questions!"

I surrendered and said, "Alright…Alright! You can answer them one at the time. You can start by telling me about Teacher Di's situation."

Hai Shui giggled and replied, "Teacher Di doesn't have any problems. The main reason was that he was extremely worried about you to the point that he fell ill. You are Teacher Di's heart problem."

My eyes reddened as I thought about the many years that Teacher Di had guided me. I lamented, "I really let Teacher Di down this time. Hai!"

Hai Shui replied, "You don't have to be this upset. If you can make accomplishments in the world in the future, he will be pleased. He also wishes you the best. That old man said you don't have to look for him and wants you to hurry, and get away from here. After everything has settled, we'll discuss further and to also not forget your tasks."

I shook my head. "I'm afraid that I'll have to let him down again. After I get out of here, the first thing I'll do is to save Mu Zi. One out of ten demon race will survive. If I don't die in the process, I'll accomplish the tasks."

Hai Shui asked in surprise, "What? You're going to the demon race?"

I resolutely nodded my head. "I must go and find Mu Zi. I really can't lose her."

Hai Shui lowered her head and muttered, "If you can treat me like this, and even if I die, I'm willing." She said that as she cried. Looking at her appearance, it was so moving. I couldn't control myself and gently embraced her and patted her back. "Be good. Don't cry. How can I not understand your feelings to me? You have risked your life to save mine this time. I am really grateful for that. If you don't mind, I am willing……." I really didn't want to hurt this adorable girl anymore. Even though it might be out of sympathy, I was prepared to accept her.

Hai Shui widened her eyes and asked. "Really? Is this for real?" She rejoiced for only a short while before she quietened and said, "It is impossible. You already have Sister Mu Zi. She won't accept me."

I patted her head, "Silly girl, Mu Zi isn't that stingy. She has already brought this up many times to accept you."

Hai Shui raised her head and asked, "Really?"

I sincerely nodded my head and held Hai Shui's hand. "Are you willing to accept me? Even though I can't say that I love you, I'm willing to slowly cultivate my feelings towards you. You helped me too many times. I also don't want to continue hurting you any further."

Hai Shui's face expressed a sign of happiness before her happiness surged out. She tightly hugged my waist and place her face on my chest and said elatedly, "This is too awesome! It's just so great! My dream finally came true. Zhang Gong, do you know that I've waited for this day to come after suffering from so much pain?"

I said in astonishment. "It can't be that you're as open minded as Mu Zi, right? You don't mind being with her as well?"

Hai Shui shook her head smilingly, "I definitely don't mind. Your magic is so strong so there'll be a lot of girls that will fall for you. I'm already extremely ecstatic that Sister Mu Zi doesn't mind me being with you. As long as I can be with you, I don't care about anything."

Volume 7: Chapter 13 – Finale – Sorrowful Parting

Hai Shui's love for me was unexpectedly deep, I found myself moved. I gently kissed her forehead. Hai Shui's entire body shivered before she raised her head and looked at me, her eyes filled with deep feelings for me. She slowly closed her eyes and I leaned forward. I, at first, gently kissed her lips. After that, it became out of hand. Hai Shui reacted frantically as she wrapped her arms around my neck. It was as though she wanted to release all of her love for me.

I seemed to be open with Hai Shui, compared to being conservative with Mu Zi. I didn't know when I actually embraced her as we laid on the bed before extending my hand into her clothes. My thigh unintentionally touched the icy pillar of the bed. My mind became slightly more clear. I gently pushed Hai Shui away. Her delicate face was completely red and her eyes were filled with lust. She said seductively, "Zhang Gong! Zhang Gong!"

The clearness of my mind had awoken my rationality. Therefore, I supressed my arousement. I said, "Behave yourself. We shouldn't be doing this. Wake up." As I said that, I gathered a small ice cone and placed it on Hai Shui's forehead.

Hai Shui's body shuddered and the lust in her eyes decreased. She saw what was in front of her before she shyly buried her head in my embrace. "You're so bad. I won't come again."

I hadn't experienced such a situation before. I felt that it was not bad that, I could control myself. I said embarrassed, "Sorry, I didn't do that on purpose. Just now…….."

Hai Shui chuckled and replied, "You're still talking about that? You're annoying. That's right, now isn't the time to talk about this. You should set a teleportation array to be able to leave the place anytime. It'll be safer that way."

I nodded. "What you say is right. Please help me, keep a lookout outside. I'll start drawing it now."

Hai Shui agreed before she fixed her clothings. She covered her red hot face and ran to the entrance to cool down.

Seeing her fading back, there was an indescribable feeling in my heart. I shook my head before I started to draw the escape magic array on the ground.

Since my condition wasn't perfect, I couldn't teleport too far away. So, I had decided to design the teleport to move me 500 kilometres away, just as I did for Mu Zi to allow her a path of escape. I felt I would have a better chance of escaping that way.

The drawing of the teleportation array was really tiring, especially when I was not in a perfect condition. Hai Shui came to look in a couple of times. I had used an entire day to complete the magic array.

I stretched my waist before laying on Hai Shui's bed. Hai Shui asked, "Have you finished drawing?"

I replied, "Yes, I have. How is the condition outside?"

Hai Shui said smilingly, "What else can happen? They are searching to capture you. You're wanted throughout the Kingdom already. As long as you're within the Aixia Kingdom, you must be careful."

I replied, "Is there really such a need to be so exaggerated? Am I that important?"

Hai Shui sniggered before replying, "Of course you are. You are one of eleven Magisters in the entire human race and you can also use forbidden spells."

I sighed, "Maybe it was because I showed too much of my talents that had resulted in such an outcome. After I leave, you must keep a low profile so that you won't suffer what I did. Please convey my words to Ma Ke and the rest."

Hai Shui looked at me with her eyes widened.

I asked astonishingly, "What is the matter? Why do you look as though you want to eat me?"

Hai Shui said grievanced, "You are not bringing me along?"

I immediately was startled. "What? You want to go with me? It's impossible."

Hai Shui momentarily cried and said as she sobbed, "You lied to me. You lied. You just said that you accepted me and now, you suddenly change your mind."

I said, while at a loss, "How can I do that? What I said previously was true. I'm going to an extremely dangerous place. It will be too dangerous if you're to go there as well. You should stay here to increase your magic power. If I succeed in saving Mu Zi, I'll definitely come back for you."

After she heard what I said, she cried more vigorously. As she cried, she said, "You're so bad. You lied to me to get my body before tossing me aside. Wu….Wu….Wu!"

What? When did I lie to get her body? I hastily went over to cover her mouth and said, "Little missy, can you lower your voice? If someone else was to listen to what you said, I'll no longer be human."

Hai Shui ignored me and continued crying.

I suddenly said sternly, "Stop crying and listen to me!"

Hai Shui was shock from my sudden rage and stopped crying.

I gently said, "Be good. You must listen to me. It'll be very inconvenient if I bring you along. I don't know what is the situation like at the demon race. Furthermore, I need to to take care of the aftermath. Do you know why I was caught previously? It was because I left traces of the magic array. After I leave, I want you to help me erase the traces. Don't worry. I'll definitely try my best to stay alive. I also can't bear to part with you. You must be good and obediently await for my return. I'll definitely come back for you, alright?"

Hai Shui's eyes flashed with complicated expressions. It was obvious that she was having an inner battle.

I continued saying, "I'll first find some of my friends in Xiuda. With their help, I'm sure that I won't be in any danger."

Hai Shui tilted her head and asked, "Will you really be out of danger?"

I nodded. "I promise." 'Only the Gods will know what I just promised. Can I predict whether it will be dangerous? The answer is most definitely, no.'

Hai Shui replied sulkily, "You were so fierce previously." She was really an adorably petite little thing.

I embraced her and replied, "I won't do that ever again. How can I bear to be fierce towards you?"

Hai Shui replied, "You must come back safely. I'll wait for you. No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you."

I nodded. "Alright. I'll definitely be back. There's my teachers, friends and you, who is the most important to me, waiting for me here."

Hai Shui said with her face reddened, "Can I give you my first time? I'll feel more secure that way."

I jumped in fright from her words. I never thought that such an innocent little girl would say such words. "No, I'll wait for the time when I formally marry you then……"

Hai Shui revealed an adorable expression. "You really don't want?"

I seriously nodded my head. If I really took Hai Shui now, wouldn't it be bad for her if I were to die in some foreign land?

Hai Shui replied, "Alright! However, you must give something to me as a pledge of your love for me to keep and remember."

I was stunned. "What shall I give you?"

Hai Shui thought for a while and replied, "Anything."

I thought for a while before taking out a relatively big blue crystal from my spatial space. "This shall be it." After saying that, I took out the dagger that Ma Ke had given to me previously and used my battle spirit to carve the crystal. My hands were counted to be stable, and a sparkling and translucent blue heart shaped crystal very quickly appeared in my hand. I also craved 'Zhang Gong' on top of it before giving it to Hai Shui. "Do you like it?"

Hai Shui carefully took it in her hand and answered with a joyful face. "I really like it. Whenever I see this heart, it'll be as though I'm looking at you in the future." After she said that, she grabbed onto my left hand and unknowingly took out a dark green ring and put it onto my middle finger. She smiled and said, "This is what I'll give you. There is my name on the inner side of the ring. You mustn't lose it. I'll leave the ring finger for Sister Mu Zi."

I gently kissed her cheek. "Silly girl, you just have to wait for me to come back. Do you know what is the situation like of the demon race?"

Hai Shui replied, "I heard that they weren't fighting ferociously. Both sides had gathered their army forces and just stood opposite of each other. There were only some small confrontations. From the looks of it, the demon race and the beast clans still can't easily make their moves. Relax! The security of the Ström Fortress shouldn't be a problem."

I had let down a stone in my heart. "That's great. If they were really to fight, both sides will definitely suffer. War is too terrifying and the ones that suffers the most are the commoners."

I caressed Hai Shui's long hair and continued to say, "You should stay at the academy to train. After everything is settled, I'll definitely come to find you. The current atmosphere is extremely nerve wrecking. I have to go as soon as possible."

Hai Shui eye immediately reddened. She tightly hugged me and replied, "I don't want you to go. I really don't."

I consoled her by saying, "Be good and stop throwing childish tempers. It isn't that I won't be coming back. Please help me look after those few old teachers. They aren't young so it'll be great if nothing happens to them. Even though Emperor Ke Zha has great skills and strategy, he isn't as magnanimous. After you graduate, it'll be best that you don't join the military. Don't tell this to Ma Ke either as it may influence his mood. Ma Ke has a magnanimous personality. If he inherits the throne in the future, I'll be able to relax."

Hai Shui nodded. "Do you really have to go?"

I nodded. "I also don't know how my friends in Xiuda are doing. I'll first go and meet up with them, before going towards the demon races stronghold. I hope that she's willing to come back with me though."

Hai Shui said, "Sister Mu Zi will definitely come back with you. I'll wait for you two."

I replied, "After I leave, you must immediately erase the magic array and never let anyone discover it. If not, it'll not only bring you trouble, it'll also implicate your family. The three main families had allied with Duke Te Yi initially to rebel against Ke Zha. Ke Zha's heart must be filled with hatred. If he gets the chance, he'll definitely treat you badly."

I embraced Hai Shui and stepped into the magic array. I deeply kissed her lips before pushing her out of the array. A golden light enclosed her body.

I shouted, "Hai Shui! You must take care of yourself. I'm leaving." After saying that, I activated the array. If I don't head off now, Hai Shui would definitely badger me. It was better to just get the pain over with, rather than prolonging the agony.

Hai Shui cried out in fear, "Big brother Zhang Gong, you must come back safely."

I smiled and waved my hands at her. "I will." I instantly vanished from Hai Shui's room after a golden light flashed.

Hai Shui teared as she cleared the magic array that I had drawn but her heart had come with me.

Name: Wallace

Sex: Male

The leader of the beast clans that had a outspoken and straightforward personality, holds the 'Earth Bear' title and is good in Earth elemental magic.

After a golden light flashed, a slender body appeared on a hill. It was surrounded by a verdant and lush forest that had frequent calls from birds and insects.

A body figure that was about 1.9 meters tall slowly appeared. He was doing a handstand on the hill with his eyes staring at the horizon with his eyebrows expressing sorrow. That man was me. The widely known light magician in the Kingdom of Aixia, Zhang Gong Wei, who is also the main character of this book.

I had finally succeeded in escaping. After thinking back to the deep feelings Hai Shui had for me, my heart involuntarily throbs. Furthermore, I still also have Mu Zi that should already be deep inside the demon race territory, who is the woman I love the most. I would really never have thought that she would unexpectedly be the princess of the Demon race. Even if that was the case, I had saved her when she was captured by Aixia's Royal Magic corps, which had also ruined my future in Aixia.

'I must go to the Demon race to find Mu Zi because I love her. It's impossible for me to forget her.'

I wondered how Big brother Zhan Hu and the rest were. If I could get their assistance, the journey to the Demon race territory would be much smoother so I had decided to head to the Kingdom of Xiuda to find them. After that, I would head for the Demon race. I was not worried about going to the Demon magic races lands as I had complete confidence in my powers. What I was most afraid was that Mu Zi would abandon me or wasn't willing to come back with me.

After determining the destination to head towards, my heart felt much better. I raised my head and gave out a long roar. I kicked off from the ground and circulated my battle spirit as I flew down the hill.

I currently had already lost my sense of position as when I escaped, the magic array was designated to head towards the west. This was to say that this place should be 500 kilometers west from Aixia.

'I shall forget about it and just head in this direction. I should be able to reach a city. When I find one, I'll just determine the correct direction I should move in.'

I hadn't thought such an error in my decision making had forced me to spend three days in the forest. If I knew Advanced wind magic, I perhaps wouldn't need to spend so much time in here. However, my major was light magic and minor was spatial magic, that weren't capable in allowing me to fly. Even though I could fly with my battle spirit, my current body condition wasn't good. My body strength was half of the power from my strength at peak condition. It shouldn't be able to fly for long but I could use short teleportation. This was bad after rapidly teleporting for a day. I discovered that I was completely lost. Damn it! I didn't dare to continue using the short teleportation anymore so I could only conscientiously depend on my both legs to proceed. After I finally walked out of the forest, I already looked like a beggar. My clothing had already be shredded by the shrubbery.

After the torture from the stone prison that made me exhausted and that I didn't rest up properly after Hai Shui had rescued me, with the fact that I currently was out of food, the condition of my magic power and battle spirit were all not good, especially my battle spirit. The reason for that was I had previously used it to support my body so the consumption of it was large.

My pitiful Sukrad's staff was currently being used as my walking stick. I previously had always had a smooth sailing life and never suffered this much. I sighed as I couldn't help but to think back to my past.

I hobbled as I moved forward. There was suddenly a spiral of smoke in front of me. I instantly felt a little energetic as if there was smoke, it was a sign of presence of humans there. This was too awesome! I used my entire body's power to charge forward. When I stepped on a small hill, I finally saw a large village.

When a light shone through my hopelessness, I was exceptionally excited. My body seemed to have lightened a lot. I cheered before heading to the village.

As I neared it, I heard the sounds of water. There was a river flowing at the side of the village. There was a 30 to 40 meter high waterfall upstream. It looked like this water supplies this village. The scale of the area was counted to be big as it catered about six to seven hundred houses. The houses were all built with wood and bamboo. The place was surrounded by mountains, making it seemed extremely tranquil. I had unexpectedly found such a large village in such a remote area.

At the moment that I could see the village entrance, under the irradiation of the intense sunlight, I couldn't refrain myself from getting light headed.

A clear voice voiced out, "Who are you? Why have you come to our village?"

I stared at the direction of the voice. He seemed to be a 18 to 19 years old young fellow. He looked tall and stalwart with his entire body reeking with explosive power. There was an unknown beast in his hand. From the looks of it, he should be a hunter. However, from the bearing of his body and explosive power, he seemed to an expert in martial skills. There was unexpectedly someone that practiced martial skills in Aixia. This was really strange.

I replied politely, "Brother, I'm just a passerby that is overly exhausted. I'm thinking of purchasing some food and water from the village to rest up."

The young man frowned as he sized me up. "Alright, follow me." After he said that, he lead in front of me.

"Sorry for the trouble." I used the Sukrad's staff to support my body as I forcefully followed him.

After entering the village, there was a couple of young men, whose ages were still very young.

"Big Brother Jian Shan, you're back. Wah! You caught another Purple Fox! You're really great!"

"That is our Big brother Jian Shan, the number one expert among the younger generation."

The young man who brought me in smiled and said, "That's enough! You all stop flattering me. If the elders heard that, they will remark that you all are not being discreet again."

The few youngsters stuck their tongue out at him but didn't dare to say anything. One of them that had a good eye and asked, "Big brother Jian Shan, who is he? Where did you get this beggar from?"

Jian Shan rebuked, "Shan Dou, stop talking nonsense. He should just be lost. You go and report to the Great Elder to let him decide whether to keep this outsider or not."

The person that was known as Shan Dou gave out a peculiar sound before turning and running away.

Jian San told me, " Big brother, come with me." After he said that, he brought me to a bamboo house at the western side of the village. I replied pantingly, "Thank you, brother."

Jian Shan poured a cup of water and passed it to me. "You can try our spring water. It's not bad."

I drank all of the clear spring water. A chilly feeling passed through my body. Ah! I replied in appreciation, "This spring water is really nice to to drink, is this water from the flowing spring at the side of the village?"

Jian Shan nodded before pouring me another cup of spring water. "The spring water is our village's lifeline. Without it constantly flowing all around the year, our village wouldn't be able to survive.

As I drank, I said, "That's right! Water is the origin of life." As I said that, I couldn't help but to think about Hai Shui who was so far from here.

"Brother Jian Shan, the elder wants you to bring that stranger to meet him." Shan Dou's voice sounded out from outside of the room.

Volume 8: Chapter 2 – Bizarre Village

Jian Shan shouted, "I got it. We'll head over there now." He turned his head to look at me. "We don't casually accept strangers here. I'm really sorry, but I must trouble you to meet my elder."

I smiled and replied, "It's to be expected. However, you can see how I look. Is it alright for me to clean up first?"

"Of course you can, follow me." After he finished speaking, he brought me to the side of the village's spring water while holding a wooden tub.

When I started to reach into the spring water to wash my face, I was stopped by him. He explained, "Our village doesn't allow us to directly clean up in the spring's water." After that, he filled a tub of water and passed it to me.

I made an awkward smile and quickly washed up. After seeing that there wasn't anyone around, I took out a set of ordinary clothes from my spatial space.

Jian Shan obviously hadn't seen spatial space magic spells as he asked in amazement, "Where did you get those clothes from? I didn't see that you have a bag."

I chuckled, "It is just a small magic spell. Please forget about that."

Jian Shan asked, "I've heard of that before is that really magic? Magic should be really fun, right?" He had the heart of a young man after all. After hearing about something new, he wouldn't be able to hold back and naturally wanted to know more about it.

I replied, "Magic actually borrow powers from nature as a way to accomplish our wishes. If you want to learn it, I can teach you next time."

Jian Shan replied excitedly, "That's great! So, you're a mage?"

At this moment, I had already changed my clothes. The feeling I felt throughout my body was indescribably cool and refreshing. The ice cold spring water seemed to have washed away my fatigue away.

Jian Shan's eyes lit up and said in high praise, "Everyone really must have garments like yours. After changing, you look much more pleasing to the eye."

This was the first time someone gave me such comments. I bitterly smiled and replied , "Aren't we supposed to meet the elder? Let's go."

As we walked, I asked, "How many elders are there in this village?"

Jian Shan replied, "There's 5 elders. They're the village top experts and have profound knowledge. Whenever there are major problems in the village, they'll decide the course of action."

Oh! I continued to ask, "How do you survive in this place? The place seems very remote."

Jian Shan revealed a cautious expression as he looked at me. "Why are you asking me so many questions? I don't know. You can ask the elders about that."

At this moment, we already walked to a large wooden house at the center of the village. Jian Shan said, "Let's go inside. This is the place where the elders discuss matters." After that, he took the lead to walk in first.

I followed him into the wooden house where two old men were already in there. Their attire was simple and from the wrinkles on their faces, they must be at least 80 years old.

The old man on the left kindly asked, "Jian Shan, I heard that you brought back a stranger. Is that him?"

I hastily walked over and bowed before saying, "Greetings to the two elders, I had just passed by this village. I'm pleading just to be able to stay for a few days. After my body has recovered, I'll immediately leave. I'm willing to pay more than enough money for my stay."

The right elder's expression hardened, "We can survive on our own. Why would we have need of money for?"

I awkwardly looked at Jian Shan. Jian Shan said, "Third grandfather, please let him stay, He doesn't seem to be bad and he also knows magic."

The third elder on the right replied, "You're still young so you don't know what intentional malice is. You can't judge a book by its cover. Since you're only staying for two days, you can temporarily stay at Jian Shan's place. However, you have to remember, if you do anything that is detrimental to the village, even though we're people from the mountains, we won't forgive you." After he said that, his eyes glimmered.

That old man had such bright eyes. If Zhan Hu was here, he would definitely know that his battle spirit had already reached its peak. He is definitely at the Sword Saint level. No matter what, from the pressure he was giving me, I could also feel his powerful strength . I curiously thought, 'Why does this village have such powerful people?

Let's forget it. It shouldn't matter as it doesn't relate to me. After I rest up, I'll leave this place. What's the use in meddling so much about the village?"

After following Jian Shan to his home I discovered he was the only one there. I also didn't dare to blindly ask him what happened to his parents. After eating some food that he had given to me, I found a bed that I could lay on to get some rest.

The following morning, when I walked out of the bamboo house, I noticed Jian Shan was still practicing his sword. He was emitting Golden Battle Spirit. I knew that this was God Battle Spirit and a sign of being a Radiant Knight. I pulled on Shan Dou who was watching at the side. "Jian Shan's martial skills are really great!"

Shan Dou arrogantly said, "Of course! Big brother Jian Shan's martial skills are the best among the younger generations. You must know that we……" As he said that, a golden light shot over that frightened Shan Dou to the point that he swallowed his words. I immediately cast a light barrier to block the advancement of the golden light. The golden light was shot by Jian Shan. He could have retracted his power but after seeing me blocking his attack, he wanted to test my power. So, he immediately resent the power that he was retracting out again. The golden light ray collided with my light barrier.

"Hong!" I was rebounded away from the tyrannical power.

Jian Shan came over and asked, "Sorry, Big brother Zhang Gong. Are you hurt?"

I hadn't been so useless before. I helplessly said, "I'm fine. I'm fine." Even though I wasn't prepared for it, Jian Shan's power greatly surprised me. I never thought that his battle spirit was as strong as Big brother Zhan Hu's. If we really had to fight, I would need to put in effort in doing so.

Jian Shan replied, "It's great that you aren't hurt. Shan Dou, you brat! You've got to be more careful with your words next time."

Shan Dou was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue before running away.

Jian Shan told me, "Big brother Zhang Gong, you can tour around the village. You can go anywhere except the forbidden area by the waterfall." After he said that, he turned to practice his sword again.

As i was standing beside the spring water, near the outskirts of the village, I felt a crushing wave of fatigue from my heart. I felt as though something wasn't right. I shuddered as this phenomenon shouldn't happen. This had never happened since I first learned magic as a way to train one's spiritual power. Why did I felt exhaustion? From the looks of it, it seemed that this period of experience had stimulated my body a little too much. If I continued to not pay any attention to it, even if my body recovered to its peak state, my magic power and battle spirit would decrease drastically.

Volume 8: Chapter 3 – Another Encounter with God's Light

'This isn't good. I must find a place to cultivate quietly. Where should I go? I can't roam too far from the village either. If I don't have any replenishments, I'm afraid that I'll revert to the previous situation I was in before coming to this village. There are a lot of people in this village, so it's detrimental for my quiet cultivation. Ah! That's right! Didn't Jian Shan say that the waterfall was a forbidden area? I shall just cultivate there since there shouldn't be anybody there. They won't know about it anyway, and I'm don't have any intentions of destroying either.'

After surveying my surroundings and confirming that there wasn't anybody around, I used a few short-distance teleportations to reach the waterfall.

The waterfall caused great 'Long! Long!' sounds, and the water then rushed into a basin, causing never-ending splashes . The rays of sunlight shone down on the water mist, turning it radiant, sparkling and translucent, resulting in a rainbow that floated on top half of the waterfall. There really was nothing more beautiful than that. All of the people here are aware that this was a forbidden area and so had no need to guard this area, but wasn't this just a water fall? Why it then called this place the forbidden area?

I gently scooped up some spring water in my hands and delightedly splashed it on my face. God damn it! I remembered Jian Shan's words and immediately scrutinised my surroundings . Luckily, there wasn't anyone around. I felt a little awkward; if I cultivated here and was caught red handed by someone who happened to pass by, what should I do then? They would say that I had trespassed the forbidden area.

Looking at the unceasingly flowing spring water, an idea popped into my head suddenly. 'Why don't I try going under the waterfall? In the icy cold water, I would probably be able to concentrate even better.'

Taking action as soon as I had thought up the idea, I targeted a large rock beneath the waterfall and sent myself over using short-distance teleportation. Even though I was prepared, the force of the waterfall was exceptionally large. I felt a large force hit me the moment I landed on the rock. My entire body chilled and the very next moment, I was washed into the basin.

I swallowed more than a few mouthfuls of the spring water in the midst of my panicking. I currently wasn't feeling cool and refreshed by the spring water, but rather was in the danger of getting drowned by it. Luckily, my swimming skills weren't too bad. I swam with all my might, reached the right side of the rock and grabbed onto a corner of it. After resting for a while, I circulated my battle spirit before flying up onto the stone. With the protection from my battle spirit, I succeeded in walking beneath the waterfall that had an extremely strong force. I expanded my battle spirit outwards and used magic to protect myself inside as I sat crossed legged on the rock.

I was unable to calm my state of mind in the least due to the unceasing torrent of spring water. The only thing I could do was to bitterly try to withstand the force of the waterfall. I inwardly cried out in agony. If this continued, I would very quickly be washed off the rock.

I forced myself to endure as wave after wave struck me with tremendous force, and constantly cast my internal battle spirit and magic outwards to stabilize my body. It seemed that it was impossible to stay here to do any training or cultivation. I should leave this place while I still had enough strength to do so.

Just as I was about to leave the spring water, a warm power suddenly came towards me from the midst of the waterfall, making my protective battle spirit and magic power to expand in a single moment. My entire body felt warm and indescribably comfortable. This was a familiar power. What was that?

When the Holy Sword on my chest met with that power, it started to merge with it. Ah! I understood why I the feeling was so familiar to me. It was because its characteristics and abilities were exceptionally similar to that of the Holy Sword.

The Holy Sword in my body seemed to be celebrating, sending the warm power throughout my body as it greedily absorbed the power from the center of the waterfall. The waterfall was still rapidly rushing down and constantly giving out similar powers as the Holy Sword. My battle spirit and magic power that was being used to protect my body had suddenly disappeared. I was completely naked under the waterfall.

The power of the Holy Sword gradually changed from being warm to getting hotter. Even though I was under the ice cold spring water, my body was scorching hot. It seemed to be lit on fire as it emitted golden light.

I felt the meridians in my body seemed to be gradually disappearing. My magic power and battle spirit was slowly getting engulfed by the Holy Sword power. I couldn't help but to be astonished. Surely the power that I had bitterly cultivated wouldn't disappear just like that, right? I tried controlling the Holy Sword, but it strangely ignored my commands and continued to absorb the power from the spring water unceasingly.

When the power reached the limits of what I could contain, I felt as though I was going to explode. There was an intense gold light in front of me before I lost consciousness. What I wasn't aware of was that I had already spent an entire week away from the village.

When I felt as though I was going to explode, the five elders felt the same reaction. The Great Elder said, "Not good! Someone is interfering with the spiritual influence of the Heavenly Spring. Quick! Gather everyone, immediately head towards the Heavenly Spring!"

I felt as though I was in a dream and was being surrounded by twinkling stars. Ah! It seemed that I had got back to my inner sacred space. It was the same place where I had communicated with Mi Jia Lie. Could it be that I hadn't exploded?

"That's right! Child, you didn't explode. I never thought that you would unexpectedly find God Spirit's channel."

"Is that you, Mi Jia Lie?"

"Yes, it's me. Under the assistance of the God Spirit's channel, I was once again able to communicate with you.

I asked in surprise, "What is God Spirit's channel?"

Mi Jia Lie replied, "I don't know what it is either. All I know was that you have inherited God's power from the God Spirit's channel ."

I heaved a sigh of relief. "I previously thought that I had exploded."

Mi Jia Lie chuckled. "Silly child, it wasn't you that had exploded but rather your powers in your inner body that did."

I replied, "My inner body's power had exploded? What's going on? I previously felt as though the Holy Sword was absorbing my battle spirit and magic power."

Mi Jia Lie explained, "It really happened. Your battle spirit, magic power and the Holy sword's power in your body aren't segregated from each other anymore. Moreover, since you have absorbed some of God's power, you'll be able to control the Holy Sword. Even though it is still a small portion of it, it is already extremely powerful in the world. You already aren't far off from becoming a Grand Magister. You'll understand what I mean after you return to reality."

I asked, "Doesn't that mean that all the magic power and battle spirit that I had bitterly cultivated are gone?"

Mi Jia Lie replied smilingly, "Why would that happen? They've just changed their existential form and are much purer as compared to before. Even though this round of baptism in the Divine vein, it hasn't really increased your level but it'll still have great benefits to your future cultivation. You should quickly absorb the Divine vein's power. After you have absorbed it, you must come to the Great Valley to find me. I have much more confidence in you inheriting my power with things the way they are now." After he said that, Mi Jia Lie seemed to have curled his lips and his voice had abruptly stopped. However, his words had already aroused my suspicions.

I asked, "What do you mean by being much more confident? It can't be that inheriting your powers has an element of danger to it, right?"

Volume 8: Chapter 4 – Heavenly Spring's Divine Vein

Mi Jia Lie chuckled somewhat awkwardly and said, "It's nothing. Why would it be dangerous? Don't worry. Even though the process of receiving the inheritance does have its risks, the chances of success are still fairly large."

I asked anxiously, "Fairly large? How large exactly is that?" No matter how large the chances were, if it weren't a hundred percent, there was no chance of me heading to the Great Valley to accept his so-called inheritance. After all, safety is my first priority.

Mi Jia Lie didn't answer my question, instead exclaiming, "Aiya! You're in trouble. There're a lot of people heading this way. You should return." After he finished saying that, the stars vanished, and my vision became pure white.

I realised my consciousness had returned to my body as whilst I still felt the waterfall still constantly rushing down on me, there was no longer any power emitting from it. My entire body felt cool and refreshed. When I examined my internals, I jumped in shock, as my body's meridians had become much bigger and gold fluid circulated throughout my body. The golden fluid at the center of my eyebrows had three sparkling transparent gold dans. Could it be that these were the transformed existence of the golden dans? When I sent my will towards them, they unexpectedly listened to my command. This was probably the reason I could now control the Holy Sword. This was too awesome! I didn't need to be at the border of death before activating it in the future.

I couldn't help but be wildly excited and let out a long roar. The power in my body seemed to move with my roar. If they could previously said to be a calm lake, now they could now be said to be a river with a raging current. Enormous power was radiating from my body.

When I opened my eyes, I found that the banks of the lake were crowded with people, and each and every one of them were the picture of absolute fury, with a sliver of astonishment mixed in.

I saw Jian Shan and the third elder…Could it be that all these people were from that village? Aiya! This was bad. They had discovered that I had come to the forbidden area.

Where did the waterfall go? I was standing on the rock without feeling the force of the waterfall. As I wondered, I lifted my head. Wah! The waterfall was actually still falling on my head but was blocked by the golden light I was emitting. At that moment of my astonishment, the power from my body dispersed. 'Hong!' The waterfall once again struck at me, making me fall into the basin. Oh, crap!

When my head surfaced from beneath the water, I let out an awkward smile and said, "Greetings to all of you. Why are there so many people here?"

Jian Shan replied angrily, "We were kind enough to take you in, but not only did you trespass into the forbidden area, you had also destroyed our Heavenly Spring's divine vein. Speak! Who sent you here?"

This was definitely a large misunderstanding. I exercised a little power and floated out from the water, landing lightly on the opposite shore, shook off the water on my body, and said to the few elders, "I'm really sorry. I only wanted to find a place to train and cultivate. Since I was afraid of being interrupted, I came to this place. I don't understand what is this Heavenly Spring's divine vein that Jian Shan mentioned earlier." I pretended to be hapless and clueless.

The old man brandished his walking stick and shouted, "Stranger, it can't be that Jian Shan didn't tell you that this is a forbidden area, right?"

I shook my head. "He did say that, but you should also know that humans are naturally curious. I saw that this place wasn't guarded and looked rather clean so I came over. I don't have any bad intentions. I was just a little curious. As for destroying the divine vein, you are greatly wrong in accusing me of that."

The Great Elder coldly laughed and said, "You're still lying. The battle spirit that you were emitting earlier consists of the divine power from the Heavenly Spring. Do you still want to continue evading the truth?"

Aiya! This was bad. He had seen through me.

The Great Elder continued to say, "Since you had destroyed our life source, we shall make you remain here. Everybody, move back."

This wasn't good. I should just run away. From the looks of it, it wouldn't be a good thing to provoke these few old men. I cursed silently as I used short teleportation in an outward direction in order to escape. I suddenly felt as though I had collided on a copper wall. It was so painful. What was that? I stared ahead and discovered that there was a golden translucent barrier 30 meters ahead of me, preventing my retreat.

The Great Elder said, "If you can escape from here, we few old fellows need not be called elders. Let me tell you, this boundary was formed using our battle spirit so it's more rigid than the barriers formed by magic. Any teleportation spell would be ineffective against it. You should just behave and let us capture you."

I bitterly smiled and replied, "Elders, I really didn't intentionally destroy your divine vein. It was just that after entering the spring, it had given me its power. I didn't have a choice. Aiya! Don't make any moves!"

The few elders were so infuriated by my words that they shot their battle spirit at me.

What fearsome battle spirit; their power largely surpassed Jian Shan's. Even if it was Teacher Wen from Xiuda, he would also be unable to match up to any one of them. This wasn't good. It couldn't be that they were all of the Sword Saint level, right? I was in deep trouble.

I rapidly brandished Sukrad's staff to shoot out a few light blades to try to stop their advancement. A wondrous thing happened. Every light blade that I shot out not only had magic power and battle spirit, more importantly, there was also a trace of the Holy Sword's power mixed in them, making the light blades power much greater than before.

The few light blades had successfully stopped the five elders attacks but I realised that I was being locked on by all of the five elder's energies. Any movement I made would immediately attract their combined counter-attack.

The five elders were also astonished as I had blocked their first attack. The Great Elder said, "Good brat, you really did your preparations before coming here. Tell me, what is your purpose in coming here?"

I helplessly smiled bitterly, "I really don't have any purpose. I had only coincidentally destroyed your divine vein."

The third elder rebuked angrily, "It seems that you won't stop until you reach the Yellow River. Big brother, let me deal with him."

The Great Elder nodded and retreated a few steps together with the other three elders but still continued maintaining the barrier in order to prevent my escape.

I jumped for joy inwardly as it seemed that they weren't going to join hands to deal with me. Even though I couldn't escape, it was still better than a group attack. It was just as good since I wanted to test out my current strength. Right now, I felt as though my entire body was filled with power which surpassed the level I was previously at in my peak condition.

The third elder waved his crutch and shot a golden light at me, giving me a shock, and I hastily cast a light blade to neutralise his attack. Both our bodies shuddered simultaneously; both sides seemed to be evenly matched.

Volume 8: Chapter 5 – The Sword Saint's Holy Sword

I asked in astonishment, "Aren't the martial skills you learn focused on your techniques?"

The third elder replied filled with disdain, "Do you know the saying 'one move has ten benefits'? At our standard, techniques are just superfluous. I'm coming again." After saying that, he unceasingly emitted gold battle spirit to form a light net towards me.

It was such a strong battle spirit that if I hadn't absorbed the divine vein, I wouldn't be his opponent. This remote village had such incomparable experts and there were five of them. This was unbelievable.

I chanted, "Light elements, my friends……" I thought of using Star Light Brilliance to counter his attack. As I started chanting it, there was a vast amount of light stars before me. I became elated. Could this mean that I no longer needed to chant for advanced light spells anymore? This was great!

I commanded the large amount of light stars to collide with the light net. Every light star attacked the connections of the light net. After the two strong powers in mid air collided, light rained inside the entire boundary. It looked amazing.

The third elder looked at me in amazement. It was obvious that the move I used to counter his attack had shocked him.

I smiled and said, "You don't need to be that shocked. In the human Kingdom, my magic standard could be reckoned to be the best or second best."

The third elder coldly snorted. "You're good brat! You're no pushover, so try to recieve my best move." His entire body's clothing moved without the use of any wind. The battle spirit in his surroundings violently surged out. It formed an enormous golden whirlpool with him as the center. What made me feel peculiar about it was that there were traces of blue lights within the gold whirlpool. 'Can it be that this is the legendary Holy Light? But only someone at the Legendary War God level can release that kind of battle spirit.. From what I know, in these few thousands of years, there aren't any War God's that have appeared in the world. I couldn't have met one, right? I'm so unlucky. The Holy Light's power is comparable to forbidden spells in magic, and wouldn't be any worse than it.'

I didn't dare to slight him and immediately activated the Holy Sword in my body before I shouted, "The God King bestowed upon me the Radiant Holy Sword. It shall shine with the soaring radiance of the vault of the heavens." Since I could control the Holy Sword, even though it was just a small portion, I could borrow its power to use the forbidden offensive spell that the God King had given to me. What I didn't know was that the power of the spell was also the same as a forbidden spell.

At that moment, the third elder had already completed his best move and shouted, "Finishing move—-Holy Light Tornado!" A large bluish golden mixed tornado headed towards me.

After I chanted the spell, I felt my entire body's power was gathering at the Holy Sword at my chest. A silver Holy Sword shot out from my body and projected itself in front of me. I shouted, "Go!" The Holy Sword's enormous power headed towards the third elder's Holy Light Tornado.

The Great Elder shouted, "Not good! It's the Radiant Holy Sword!" He immediately used his ultimate move along with the three other elders to receive the attack.

After using the Holy Sword's power, my entire body's energy seemed to have vanished. I used the Sukrad's staff to support my feeble body.

The power of the Holy Sword and the five elder's attack collided with each other. It seemed as though time had stopped. I looked astonished at the peculiar sight before me.

The Great Elder moved beside me like lightning. I already didn't have any energy to fight back, and just let him to carry me to their side before he shouted, "Everyone, use your defensive spells with all your might!" As he said that, he used a strong battle spirit to protect himself and me.

At this moment, the powers in mid air seemed to have merged together. It was completely white before me. An enormous force had pushed the five elders and me towards the boundary. After that, the boundary broke. 'Hong! Hong!' The loud sound temporarily made me lose my hearing.

When all of my senses returned, I realized that everything had changed. The precipitous

cliff that formed the waterfall had disappeared. The small lake had became three times larger. In the surrounding, there were villages that were all over the place. The five elders protected me in the centre. Traces of blood were seen at the sides of their mouths. The five of them looked extremely tattered with their clothing shredded, especially the third elder. He had lost almost half of his hair and his beard was burnt to the point where it was smoking.

I quickly checked my body. Luckily, there was nothing wrong. Except for the large loss of power, that would require some time to recover, there wasn't anything wrong. Did the five elders help me block that large explosion earlier? Why were they so good to me?

The Great Elder shouted, "Is everyone fine?"

Jian Shan voiced out, "Great grandfather, it was lucky that you few grandfathers directed the attack towards the Heavenly Spring. Everyone just suffered a little hurt from the rebound, so we're alright. But the Heavenly Spring is already…….."

The Great Elder interrupted him and replied, "That's alright. You don't have to say anything further. Just head back to the village. You come to bring him along." After he said that, a golden light shot towards me. I already didn't have any energy to counter his attack. My body softened and I fainted.

After getting back my consciousness, I realized that there were people around me. I didn't immediately open my eyes, and checked my body condition. I discovered that the three gold dans in my body were circulating as per norm. My magic power (The fusion of the three different powers would be just known as magic power from now on) was similar to when I was at the waterwall. The silver Holy Sword sat calmly at my chest area. This kind of situation made me extremely baffled. Why didn't they restrict me? It couldn't be that they weren't afraid that I would escape, right?

A benevolent sound voiced out. "Have you awakened, God's Inheritor?"

I was startled and opened my eyes and found that the five elders were sitting in front of my bed. I asked in surprise, "What God's Inheritor?"

The Great Elder replied, "If you didn't have the God's acknowledgement, how could you have been able to use the Radiant Holy Sword?!"

I scratched my head and replied, "I'm really sorry about destroying your Heavenly Spring. I…….."

The third elder interrupted me and asked, "That doesn't matter. Can you tell us how you got the God's acknowledgement?"

I instinctively knew that I had to tell them the truth. Thus, I told them everything that I gone through and that had transpired between the God King and me. The few elders listened attentively and expressed amazement from time to time.

After hearing my story, the elders looked towards each other before the five of them suddenly left their seats and knelt in front of me.

Volume 8: Chapter 6 – God's Village

I hastily jumped out of bed and said, "What are you all doing? Quickly, get up!"

The Great Elder replied, "We plead for your forgiveness for any offense we have committed against you."

I replied, "It was initially my fault. How can I blame you?" As I said that, I pulled the elders up.

The Great Elder replied, "Our God's Village has been waiting for countless generations and years and finally, we are able to meet you."

"God's Village? What does that mean?"

The Great Elder replied, "You previously said that during the great war between the Gods and the Monsters, there were heavy repercussions suffered by the Gods. In order to deal with future dangers, the remaining God clan members found a freshwater spring and inserted their powers into it, and gave orders to the small village beside the spring to watch over it. This place was that small village and the Heavenly Spring in front of us was left here by the remaining Gods at that time."

So it was like that. I asked, "What did the God clan order your village to do?"

The Great Elder replied, "The God clan wanted us to help and support the God's inheritor with all we have, if we were to ever meet him in the future. "

I replied in excitement, "So, that is to say, you're willing to help me annihilate the Monster King?"

The Great Elder smiled and replied, "Of course! Even if you're not the God's inheritor, we would still have protected the world from the evil forces with everything we have. Since the Gods have assigned you to be their inheritor, we will definitely listen to our ancestor's order, and do our best to accomplish the task of fighting against the evil forces."

I shouted excitedly, "That's great! With your assistance, the chance of success is much larger. Any of you elders is definitely an expert that will shake the world. Moreover, there are five of you!"

Great Elder replied, "According to the warrior ranking in the world, we few fellows should be at the Sword Saint standard. What are your current plans?"

I replied, "I'm preparing to head to the Kingdom of Xiuda to find some friends of mine. We'll gather a small force there. I'm thinking of gradually increasing my forces in preparation of facing the Monster King in the near future. The friends I'm going to meet have also received God's inheritance."

The Great Elder asked in amazement, "Are they the ones that you had said earlier met the God King with you?"

I nodded. "Yes, they individually possess the War God's armour, Sky God's bugle horn, Titan God's hammer, Lightning God's shield, Wind God's bow, and including my Radiant Holy Sword, all together, we have six of the God clan's inheritance weapons."

The Great Elder replied happily, "That's great, in that case, we'll take some people who are good in martial skills along with us. With all the powers gathered together in one place, it'll be more convenient for us and will also increase our strength."

I replied, "I had the same thoughts as you. When should we head out?"

The Great Elder told the fifth elder, "Fifth Elder, you're to go inform all of the boys in the village to gather. We'll pick some of the elites to head out with the God's Inheritor." The fifth elder agreed before going out.

I said with a smile, "You don't have to call me that in the future. You can just call me Zhang Gong. Your age should be enough to be my great grandfather."

The Great Elder wasn't modest and replied, "Alright! Zhang Gong, you can wait here as we pick which men have enough power to travel with us." After he said that, he left with the remaining elders.

I was initially thinking of heading to Xiuda. Now, it was even better as I would be bringing a strong team of warriors there too. I didn't know what Big brother Zhan Hu and the others would think about this. However, it was also great that the elders were so powerful. It would definitely drastically increase our overall strength. After escaping, my luck seemed to be quite good. I had first absorbed the Heavenly Spring's divine vein and now, I had even gotten the support of the God's Village!

After a short while, the elders came back.

The Great Elder replied, "Zhang Gong, I have gathered everybody that has great martial skills. There'll be 167 of us, including us five elders. They're now packing up. We'll leave in the morning tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, there were 167 people. If their abilities weren't weaker than Shan Jian's, then this would be an extremely powerful team.

The five elders and I were standing on a small hill when morning came. I looked at all of the 162 villagers filled with congealed vigor, who were in the age range of 20-40 years. From a glance, it was easy to know that they were all martial experts. They were worthy of being called the God's Village.

I asked the Great Elder, "The martial proficiency of your village is really impressive!. Anyone of them can influence the world."

The Great Elder laughed and replied, "If we were to rank all 167 of us with the world's ranking system, there would be 5 Sword Saints, that being us 5 old fellows, 56 Radiant Knight's and the rest are at the Heaven Knight level."

My mouth had completely formed an 'O' shape. 'Aren't they too strong? Even if it is the Royal Knight Union in Xiuda, they definitely wouldn't have such strength.' I asked in amazement, "How did all of you train? The increase in strength is too fast. For example, Jian Shan, who is just 20 years old, has already reached the Radiant Knight standard. He can be counted as a genius in any Kingdom of the world."

When the Third elder saw me in shock, he replied to me with a smile, "Our village has always had the Heavenly Spring to supply us with assistance. Moreover, the villagers are innocent, so their training has a 'half the work, twice the effect' outcome. The village has 713 houses with three thousand villagers. What you're seeing is just a part of our forces. We have picked the ones that aren't tied down by their family duties, or that are volunteers. They were locally born and raised here for many years, so they weren't able to leave their homeland." When he mentioned the Heavenly Spring, I couldn't help but lower my head in guilt.

The Great Elder replied, "Let's head out. There should be quite a distance before we reach civilization."

I took out a map and asked, "Elder, could you kindly mark our position on the map?"

The elder took the map and nodded. "This map is finely detailed. If I don't remember it wrongly, we should be here." He said that as he pointed on the map.

I looked at the position that he had pointed to. It was a large forest in the Kingdom of Aixia, and I suddenly made a realization, "So it is at that place. We'll head straight in this direction to head towards Aixia Kingdom's Lunda province. After that, we'll head in a southwest direction towards the Kingdom of Xiuda."

The Great Elder replied, "Alright! That shall be our route. Let's head out!"

I nodded. "Have you really decided to bring the villagers from the God's Village to come on this long journey with me? A lot of them may not be able to return to their homeland ever again."

A sign of hesitation flashed in the Great Elder's eyes, before he resolutely nodded his head.

Volume 8: Chapter 7 – Increase in Strength

The Great Elder said clearly, "Villagers of God's village, you are all strong and brave warriors. The God's Inheritor that we had awaited thousands of years for has finally arrived. This is Magister Zhang Gong Wei. You should have seen his tyrannical powers. Currently, there are movements from the Monster King that had previously been sealed by the God clan. As God's people, we should use all of our powers for the entire world. Are you willing to do so? It is not too late, and if anyone feels that they will regret doing this, please withdraw immediately."

All 167 of them from below the hill shouted loudly in unison, "We swear to follow God's Inheritor till our death! We swear to follow our elders to our death!"

I shouted loudly, "It's not in my intentions that I want all of you to follow me. I want everyone to understand that we are doing this for the peace of the world. The only request from me is that you all use your every means to maintain your lives. All lives are precious. Everyone must cherish them!"

After the elders heard what I said, they looked at each other, before the Third Elder said, "I would never have thought you would think in this way."

Actually, after knowing that I was a God's Inheritor and was unconscious, the few elder had an intense discussion. The Third Elder had suggested that he wanted me to leave at my own will, so as to not disturb their few thousand years of peaceful lifestyle. But the Great Elder suggested to ask my situation first before deciding. After they knew that I was going to represent the God's clan to exterminate the Monster King, they all supported me. This was due to God's order that had passed down for generations in the village after all. However, they weren't totally willing; as who would want to place their life in someone else's hands? But after what I just said to the villagers, the few elders were deeply touched. They all made their decision to fully support me.

At that moment, I continued to shout, "Villagers, are you willing to accept my request?!"

The villagers at the bottom started to discuss among themselves like what the elders had done. The scene was extremely chaotic. Just as the Second Elder wanted to stop them, I stopped him by saying, "It is best for them to think it through. It will be for the better this way."

The villagers at the bottom gradually calmed down. Suddenly, there was a villager that shouted out, "I'm willing to follow you forever, God's Inheritor!" His words momentarily set a chain reaction among the other villagers. One after the other, the villages stood up in support of me. There wasn't anyone that withdrew. After looking at the elders, I raised both my hands at the villagers and shouted, "Thank you to all for your support. This time we head out not for glory, splendor, wealth, and rank nor to become famous. We should only have one motive, which is to accomplish the task that God had given us, and that is to triumph against the evil forces, thus regaining the peace of the world. When the world is peaceful, it will also be time for us to withdraw ourselves, after succeeding in our task."

The Great Elder followed up at the right timing, "That's right! To triumph against the evil forces, and regain world peace!"

Every villager at the bottom of the hill shouted, "To triumph against the evil forces, and regain world peace!"

As I saw the worked up villagers below, I sniggered inwardly, 'It seems that God has an extremely important place in the villager's heart. This time, I used God's name to gather so many talented people at one go. This is just too awesome. I have a better chance in dealing with the Monster King now. This was the first time I felt I had enough power to exterminate the Monster King from when I had first been given the task.'

The 168 of us grandiosely left.

There were 50 villagers opening the route in front of us with the elders, and I walking in the middle, and the rest of the villagers following behind. After three days, we had finally managed to walk out of the forest to reach Lunda Province.

After walking through flat and vast grounds, we finally reached a small town. I told the Great Elder, "Let's rest up here before continuing on."

The Great Elder nodded. "We need to rest up, and also buy some necessities."

I shouted, "Everyone, please follow closely so as to avoid getting lost. We will rest up in this town before continuing on."

The five elders and I led the villagers to enter the town. After walking for only a short while, there was a group of people gathered that were looking at something.

I squeezed through the crowd and noticed that it was an announcement that had written: There was an order to arrest the Royal Advanced Magic Academy student, Zhang Gong Wei that had betrayed the Kingdom and Humanity as he allied with the Demon race. Please, to all citizens of Aixia…….. There was also a picture of me beneath the announcement.

I wanted to faint. I was wanted by the Kingdom. Ke Zha really was ruthless. I smiled helplessly at the Great Elder that came over with me and said, "I have become a wanted criminal. Let's hurry and leave this place. I will explain this to you later." After saying that, I lowered my head as I walked out from the crowd.

I asked one of the villager to help me buy a conical bamboo hat that had a long muslin attached to it. The few elders didn't ask me any questions, making me feel gratified for their actions.

After finding a family inn, and calming down the villagers, who had found everything within the area novelties, I gathered the few elders in my room.

After removing the conical bamboo hat, I sighed and said, "I still have something that I didn't have the time to tell to you."

The Great Elder smiled and replied, "You don't need to say anything further. We have complete trust in you."

I I shook my head and replied, "No, I must let you know about this matter. I was originally a student from the Royal Advanced Magic Academy….. I set free the demon race's princess after she was caught by the Kingdom. After that, my teachers and friend saved me by using the teleportation array to reach your village. I'm sorry to only tell you about this now." I disclosed to them to everything that had happened.

Since the God's village people had been living for few thousand years in deep forest, they didn't have any hatred towards the Demon race, so they didn't mind that I was wanted. The third elder said smiling, "Everyone has the right to pursue the opposite sex. You also don't need to reproach yourself. Moreover, you weren't in the wrong."

I walked to the window and looked at the azure sky before I sighed and replied, "The hatred between the human race, Demon and Beast races are extremely deep. Everyone is living in this world. Why must they massacre one another?"

The Great Elder nodded. "What you said is extremely right. If we can rectify their resentment, that will be for the best."

I bitterly smiled and replied, "I also thought about that, but the hatred is just too deep. It won't be easy to dissolve them. You few elders should go and rest up first. I will head out to purchase some things."
