"Ascended Mortal realm!" Leng Haidong exclaimed as he looked at Huang Tiankong with shock. "What...how..."
Huang Tiankong chortled as he grinned at Leng Haidong. "Wanna know how I reached this realm?"
Leng Haidong wanted to say yes but he saw his current expression, forcing him to compose himself as he gulped a bit of his saliva. Huang Tiankong saw Leng Haidong's actions and proceeded to continue.
"Do you remember the Shackle Ascension Pill that the Red Dawn Pavillion was selling over a month ago?"
Leng Haidong nodded, his clan bought one as well. "I do. Sure it gives you a 30% chance to break through the Ascended Mortal realm, but that's still a low chance you know."
Huang Tiankong smiled mysteriously as he continued, "Have you ever wondered who bought that one exquisite grade Shackle Ascension Pill?"
Leng Haidong frowned and pondered for a bit before his eyes lit up in understanding. "You're the one who bought the exquisite grade pill huh. But 45% is still a low chance. How did you guarantee your breakthrough?"
Huang Tiankong frowned a bit, he didn't really want to reveal his secret. After a moment of contemplation, he sighed inwardly. 'I guess I have to show my cards so my plan goes smoothly.'
"If I told you I know of a place that increases the chances of breaking through by at least 20%, would you believe me?"
Leng Haidong frowned as this was the first time he heard of such a place coming from Huang Tiankong. He was truly conflicted as it would help boost his power and his clan's power. But he knew that this was a card Huang Tiankong revealed to make him accept the alliance offer.
'If I deny the offer, I wouldn't get access to the place Huang Tiankong was talking about. If I accept, I would get access to the place. But there's still a chance that Huang Tiankong is fooling me and he's just forcing me to accept with great conditions.'
In the end, Leng Haidong followed his intuition and sighed. "Fine, fine, I accept the offer. Now...when are you gonna attack the Shi clan? Next month seems like a good time. It's the time when the Skin Tempering members of the Shi clan hold a tournament."
Huang Tiankong shook his head. "It might be a good time, but no. I still want to increase my power so I can assure the Shi clan's full destruction. How about I attack at...the Year-End Grand Trio Tournament?"
Leng Haidong was solemn yet his eyes lit up with flames as he looked at Huang Tiankong in a new light.
'Huang Tiankong is really ruthless this time! He wasn't like this before, he must have let the feeling of breaking through get to him. Anyways, attacking at the Year-End Tournament seems like the best time as the Shi clan would be barren by then.'
Leng Haidong nodded and stood up as he prepared to leave. "Alright, so 5 months later. In case I forget, do remind me. I'll be going now."
Huang Tiankong nodded and lightly smiled. "Okay. See you in 5 months."
Leng Haidong smiled back and closed the door behind him with a bang, leaving Huang Tiankong alone in the room.
Huang Tiankong sighed and relaxed his body as he looked at the horizon beyond the window.
"A few decades ago, a woman came to an unknown and small clan. At first, there was nothing wrong, but gradually the clan strengthened and became a great clan. It then became even stronger, turning into a dictator of Verdant Breeze Town, thanks to her."
His voice became raspy as he continued, "If I ever see her again, I'll kill her multiple times even if she reincarnates. She can't pay back for stealing the clan heirloom."
...
Shi clan, Verdant Breeze Town.
Two months have passed within the Shi clan peacefully. Many things happened in the Shi clan, but the most important one was related to Shi Li.
With the amount of beasts he had killed, the amount of gold the clan held was boosted multiplefold. The news that the Shi clan patriarch's son killed all of those beasts at the First Stage of Skin Tempering spread like wildfire throughout the clan, and even spread throughout town, giving Shi Li a new title.
Shi Li, the Beast Killer.
Even though Shi Li hasn't heard of the title yet, people have already associated him with the amount of beasts he has killed.
...
Shi clan, Shi Li's courtyard.
Bang!
A man was wielding his hammer as if it was weightless and swung it downwards with a great force.
Not long after, the man raised his hammer and revealed a small pool of magma under the hammer head. The man then waved his hammer in a special manner as he made the magma cover the hammer and swung his hammer horizontally, flinging the magma far away.
Fwoosh!
The magma was flung tens of meters away, hitting a tree and lighting it up on fire. The man didn't mind the fire and looked at his hammer with glee.
This man was Shi Li.
"In just two months, I've reached the peak of adept level thanks to my brain visualizing the techniques," Shi Li muttered as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
He then looked at the area where the magma hit and nodded his head as he continued to mutter to himself.
"I'll just call this technique 'Magma Swipe.' I guess this is a homage to the technique before it was repaired. So I have three techniques thanks to the [Ardent Magma Manipulation Art]. 'Molten Smash,' 'Lava Wall,' and 'Magma Swipe.'"
He then placed the hammer on the floor as he went inside his house and searched for Moddy. Minutes later, Shi Li found Moddy sitting cross-legged in a room who had its eyes sparkle like stars.
"Oh? Moddy, what's up?" Shi Li looked at Moddy. He wasn't used to seeing Moddy like this.
Moddy abruptly jumped up and ran in circles before sitting down once more with a big grin on its face. "Nyehehehe! I broke through to the Second Stage of Skin Tempering-nya!"
"Oh!" Shi Li instantly understood and laughed. "I see, I see. Congrats!"
Two months ago, Moddy took Shi Li's advice and restarted its cultivation back to the First Stage of Skin Tempering. In just two months, it was able to reach the Second Stage of Skin Tempering.
As for Shi Li, even though he was more focused on practicing the [Ardent Magma Manipulation Art], he didn't slack off in his cultivation, reaching the late stage of the Second Stage of Skin Tempering.
Not only that, he has fully memorized 30 out of the 32 movements of the Triacontadigon Wind Gavotte within a span of two months.
All of a sudden, a white screen appeared in front of Shi Li's face. He then read the contents and made a shocked expression.
"Shi Li-nya? What's wrong-nya?"
Shi Li looked at Moddy and grabbed it by the hand. "We have to go!" He then ran to the training space and grabbed the training hammer he used before continuing to run towards a certain direction.
~~~~~~~~
Notice: [Shi clan Tournament] is starting in a few minutes!
- Nonpareil Eye Interface
~~~~~~~~
...
Shi clan, Clan Arena.
Shi Xingwan sat on his respective seat as he looked at the clan members participating in the tournament. After a while, he sighed inwardly.
'My son has definitely given a lot of surprises throughout these past two months. He wanted to start cultivating, he chose the hardest cultivation technique for the Skin Tempering realm, he reached the Second Stage of Skin Tempering within two weeks, and he even killed beasts multiple stages higher than his cultivation realm!'
'I wonder what technique he chose to practice for these past few months,' he smiled lightly as he continued to look at the clan members.
A few minutes later, Shi Li came to the clan arena as he had Moddy on his left shoulder and his training hammer tightly gripped.
His hammer caught the eye of many people, and after they saw Shi Li's face, multiple gasps of surprise could be heard.
"It's the patriarch's son, Beast Killer Shi Li!"
"What? Isn't he a useless bastard who uses the authority of his father to escape responsibilities?"
"Shhhhh! Watch what you say! The patriarch is watching! Also, haven't you heard of Shi Li killing beasts at the Bone Tempering realm?"
"What?! That's gotta be impossible!"
"I know, but he made it possible."
Looks of awe and shock covered Shi Li's view, to which he just shrugged off. But a phrase he could hear came to mind.
'Beast Killer? Me?'
After finding a comfortable spot, he sat on the ground cross-legged, waiting for the elder presiding the tournament to come.
...
Half an hour later, a man appeared on stage. He looked similar to Shi Xingwan, but the aura of vitality was stronger on him. This man was Shi Xingtai, Shi Xingwan's brother, and the one who was given the Shackle Ascension Pill.
Shi Xingtai cleared his throat to catch the attention of the clan members, which it did. He then took a deep breath before saying, "Welcome to the 88th Shi Clan Skin Tempering Tournament! I'm the First Elder, Shi Xingtai, and I'll be the one presiding over the event."
He then continued, "This tournament consists of three rounds, and those who make it to the top 10 shall win prizes that shall help them in the Skin Tempering Realm and might even help them in breaking through to the Bone Tempering Realm."
At the moment Shi Xingtai said the last sentence, multiple participants had their eyes lit up, including Shi Li's.
'If I was able to get those prizes, I would be able to reach the First Stage of Bone Tempering in a matter of months!' Shi Li said inwardly.
Shi Xingtai coughed lightly as he said, "Well, let's not delay this any further."
"The tournament shall now begin!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Ascended Mortal realm!" Leng Haidong exclaimed as he looked at Huang Tiankong with shock. "What...how..."
Huang Tiankong chortled as he grinned at Leng Haidong. "Wanna know how I reached this realm?"
