In the middle of the forest, a fierce gust of wind howled, lifting countless fallen leaves.
But compared to the wind in a certain place, this gust of wind was nothing.
As Su Tong’s Howling Wind Blade came out, it sped directly towards the direction of the three Heavenly Luo Illusory Beasts.
“This is the Black Wind Tiger’s Howling Wind Blade. Originally its power was at most inferior-grade Yellow rank, but in Su Tong’s hands, it has reached mid-grade Spirit rank!”
Elder Fei Jing had lived for many years, and was able to see things clearly.
Su Tong’s spirit technique was the Black Wind Tiger’s innate spirit technique.
Although sometimes the Black Wind Tiger could perform extraordinarily, it still could not reach the mid-grade Spirit rank level.
Su Tong’s comprehension ability once again made Elder Fei Jing look at him with new eyes.
“Roar!”
Three roars sounded almost simultaneously.
The crystal scales on the Heavenly Luo Illusory Beasts’ bodies emitted rays of golden light.
It seemed they had also sensed the danger.
“Break!”
Su Tong shouted in a low voice.
At this moment, the Howling Wind Blade also landed on the Heavenly Luo Illusory Beasts’ bodies.
Ding ding ding!
Immediately, sounds of metal clashing rang out.
The Red Rain Sect’s disciples saw that with these sounds, the crystal scales on the Heavenly Luo Illusory Beasts’ bodies shattered.
Then those wind blades also completely sliced open the Heavenly Luo Illusory Beasts.
“Gulp!”
Seeing this scene, some disciples found it hard to swallow their saliva.
Those were Spirit Transformation realm level demonic beasts.
Moreover, there were three of them.
Yet under Elder Su Tong’s hands, they could not withstand even one spirit technique attack.
Elder Su Tong’s methods were truly terrifying.
“Phew, too weak!”
Seeing the three Heavenly Luo demonic beasts killed, Su Tong also clapped his hands.
Then he ran over and rummaged through the flesh and blood, taking out three golden beads.
“There really are demon cores!”
At this moment, Su Tong was also satisfied as he collected the three golden beads.
Earlier he had read in books that demonic beasts who stepped into the Spirit Transformation realm would be able to condense demon cores in their brains.
Now it seemed to be true.
“What are you all looking at?”
At this moment, seeing the Red Rain Sect’s disciples staring blankly, Su Tong also shouted.
“Ah!”
“We won!”
“Elder Su Tong really won!”
“And he won so easily!”
“Too amazing, Elder Su Tong!”
After Su Tong spoke, the group of people started shouting loudly.
They had all thought it was certain death this time, but Su Tong alone turned the situation around.
Relying only on his own strength, he easily dealt with three Spirit Transformation realm demonic beasts.
Such great strength made these disciples extremely worshipful.
“Elder Su Tong, this time, we really owe it to you!”
Elder Fei Jing also cupped his fists at Su Tong and said.
This time, if it wasn't for Su Tong, the situation could not have been resolved at all.
One must know, earlier Elder Fei Jing was prepared to die.
He did not expect that Su Tong had reached the strength of mid Spirit Transformation realm, and easily killed three early Spirit Transformation realm Heavenly Luo Illusory Beasts.
These were demonic beasts!
Usually, even mid Spirit Transformation realm human cultivators would find it very difficult to defeat early Spirit Transformation realm demonic beasts.
But Su Tong alone, fighting three, completely crushed them.
“It was all for the Red Rain Sect!”
Su Tong waved his hand.
He did not feel there was anything to be arrogant about.
After all, he had read about fighting above one's level.
But Su Tong could not help it, his cultivation speed was simply too fast.
Unintentionally, he had become stronger than these three Spirit Transformation realm demonic beasts.
“Elder Su Tong is righteous. When we return, I will certainly report to the Sect Leader!”
At this time, Fei Jing also hurriedly said.
Su Tong nodded: “Yes, it needs to be reported, and there also needs to be a thorough investigation!”
“Hmm? What does Elder Su Tong mean?”
Hearing Su Tong’s words, Fei Jing was also surprised.
“The sect must have already surveyed this forest before, right?”
Su Tong slowly said.
“Yes, although we didn't investigate carefully, we did survey it!”
Elder Fei Jing nodded and said.
Although they came here to train every year, to be prudent, they would also have disciples come to survey the place.
This time those disciples were probably negligent, or they could not detect these Spirit Transformation realm level demonic beasts.
“Hmm, since it was investigated before, no matter how negligent the people who came were, or how low their strength was, it would be impossible for them to not discover three Spirit Transformation realm demonic beasts!”
These were not ordinary demonic beasts, but Spirit Transformation realm ones.
Even just a simple look would allow one to detect them.
Then Su Tong continued, “Even if the surveyor really did not discover anything, isn't it strange that three Spirit Transformation realm demonic beasts suddenly appeared in this forest, Elder Fei Jing?”
Regarding Su Tong’s question, Elder Fei Jing also nodded.
He said, “What Elder Su Tong said is extremely true. This is likely someone making trouble in secret. When we return, I will certainly report to the Sect Leader and thoroughly investigate!”
After Su Tong’s reminder, Fei Jing also felt this matter was not simple.
After all, the Red Rain Sect’s training here was not a secret.
It was just that for many years, the surrounding powers and sects did not dare make a move.
So for a while, Fei Jing had not thought in this direction.
Now it seemed some sect could no longer restrain themselves.
“Hmm!”
Su Tong nodded.
At this moment, a figure came before Su Tong and the two others.
This person was none other than Sheng Hong Hai, who wanted to exchange pointers with Su Tong earlier.
Seeing Sheng Hong Hai, Su Tong also calmly said, “I almost forgot I still have a match with this disciple!”
Hearing Su Tong’s words, Sheng Hong Hai directly knelt on the ground: “This disciple does not dare!”
“What is there to not dare about? It’s just exchanging pointers!”
Su Tong slowly said.
“This disciple knows his wrongs. Please forgive me, Elder Su!”
At this time, Sheng Hong Hai also hurriedly kowtowed to Su Tong.
Earlier he had felt Su Tong was at most at the Core Condensation realm in strength.
So he had spoken rudely.
But just now, seeing Su Tong easily deal with three Spirit Transformation realm demonic beasts alone, Sheng Hong Hai suddenly felt a chill creeping from his heart to the soles of his feet.
With such strength, one finger could crush him to death.
So at this moment, he immediately came over to kneel and apologize.
“Hmm!”
Su Tong nodded, and did not say much.
He directly returned to his tent, preparing to rest.
And also to see what effects the three demon cores he obtained had.
“Elder Su!”
Seeing Su Tong turn and enter the tent, Sheng Hong Hai also hurriedly got up, intending to chase after.
But at this moment, Elder Fei Jing beside coldly snorted, “Elder Su Tong did not let you get up, yet you dare get up by yourself?”
Thud!
Elder Fei Jing's words made Sheng Hong Hai kneel down again.
He hurriedly said, “This disciple does not dare!”
This Elder Fei Jing was also at the Spirit Transformation realm in strength.
Regarding her words, how would Sheng Hong Hai dare disobey!
“Hmph!”
Elder Fei Jing coldly snorted, and also returned to her tent.
Leaving Sheng Hong Hai kneeling there, not daring to get up or leave!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
