"It seems that although Senior Brother suspects something, he still shouldn't know that my strength has increased thanks to this sword," Zhang Xiaoming thought to himself as he returned to his dwelling, gazing at the long sword in his hand with a sinister smile.
As long as he had this sword, he could continue to grow stronger!
"Training! I need to improve my strength as quickly as possible!" Zhang Xiaoming resolved, gripping the Flowing Light Shadow Sword tightly as he bega...

Zhang Xiaoming had now become a second-rank warrior.
After this period of intense training, the assessment was not a problem for him. He easily passed the earlier comprehensive assessments and the swordsmanship test.
"Your Tianqiong Sword Technique has improved quite a bit," Senior Brother Qian Haowen remarked, noticing the refinement in Zhang Xiaoming's swordsmanship. Compared to the last assessment, his technique had become much more sophisticated.

"Zhao Si?!"
Zhang Xiaoming turned and saw Zhao Si standing there.
"What are you doing here?"
"Senior Brother said you haven’t shown up to sweep the grounds for a few days, so he sent me to find you," Zhao Si replied. "You know that hiding a weapon is punishable. You should return the sword before you get into trouble."
Zhao Si paused, then continued, "It’s for your own good."
"This has nothing to do with you," Zhang Xiaoming said coldly.
Damn it!...

The members of the Heavenly Sky Sect didn’t stay long in Tianlang City. After about a week, a new City Lord was appointed, and everything seemed to return to normal. The sect also took several young, talented individuals from the city back to their headquarters.
Zhang Xiaoming carried a basket full of swords as he walked on the road back to the sect, a slight smile tugging at his lips. It was clear that he was in an excellent mood.
A sword! That sword wasn’t just any or...

The man’s eyes gleamed with greed as he stared at the Shadowblood Sword lying on the ground. He knew that Ma Honghu had become so powerful because he had acquired this divine sword. This sword could grant him immense strength!

He picked up the black sword, trembling with excitement. The moment his hand grasped the hilt, his eyes widened in shock. Instantly, he felt a surge of power coursing through his...

With a gentle slice, a trickle of crimson blood flowed into the prepared goblet. Under the firelight, the blood coated Rhett's fingers, seeping into the crevices of his nails. This scene was all too familiar for Rhett and other seasoned veterans, a common occurrence on the battlefield. Yet, to others, it still appeared somewhat gruesome.
Mackov, though, had a strong mental fortitude. He quickly suppressed the slight discomfort he felt and accepted the blood-stained goblet, brin...

Finally, under the moonlight, a menacing shadow was cast on the ground. A hundred meters ahead was a small ridge running north to south. The Phantom Venomous Serpent panted heavily, glancing at the treacherous peak in front of it. Despair flashed in its eyes as it realized the situation had turned grim. The prolonged chase and the stabbing pain in its left chest only added to its hopelessness.
Its expression flickered with uncertainty before it decided to speak, "Human, spare m...

Their pace slowed down as they traversed the vast canyon, with Helian Peak stretching from north to south, forming four or five small ridges and six or seven small gullies, its rocky terrain rugged and treacherous. While they could have taken a detour, crossing the steep peak ahead was the quickest route for Rhett’s team to reach the nearest Bloodstained River. Taking the longer path would have added another half hour to their journey.
For someone like Rhett, a veteran of ove...

Rhett and his team arrived at Fortress No. 1, while Shirin went to Fortress No. 2—odd-numbered fortresses were for male soldiers, and even-numbered ones for female soldiers.
The dormitories in the auxiliary fortresses were four-person rooms, so the men split into two groups—Rhett, Tuck, Ryle, and McCoff shared one room, while Tadel and Kulus joined another dorm with available space nearby.
When not on the battlefield, the living and dining conditions were quite decent...

In the quiet atmosphere, Chef Maru slowly pushed a metal cart from the kitchen. The cart was filled with dishes, with trays stacked on the top, middle, and bottom layers. Even that wasn't enough space, so the newly hired assistant, Agni, followed behind with another two-layered cart filled with more dishes.
Wearing white gloves, Maru and Agni, whose plump hands seemed slightly clumsy, carefully placed each dish on the dining table. As they lifted the lids, wisps of steam rose, ...

But this time, he lost his life! I can't believe that a few mere bandits could have killed him unless the ones who did it weren't ordinary people!"

Sometimes, a good idea can easily be overlooked, and one's thoughts might not always align with the solution. However, with a gentle reminder, clarity can suddenly emerge.

Guan Hai watched Liao Hua's figure gradually disappear into the distance, then sighed quietly as he looked up at the sky. He had reached the pinnacle of martial arts, "Internal Energy Released." If he wanted to leave, hardly anyone could stop him. Yet, he knew that only his death would truly leave the million Yellow Turbans without a leader.
The moment Guan Hai's return was reported, Guan Yu received the news and immediately summoned Guo Jia and Liu Ye to discuss the information ...

Guan Hai couldn't help but mock himself. There was no great joy in achieving "Internal Energy Released." Instead, he felt only calmness.

A suffocating feeling welled up in his chest, but he couldn't find the voice to release it. As these thoughts churned in his mind, a vicious glint flashed in his eyes. The late leader was a saint, but he, Guan Hai, was not. He couldn’t do it—he didn’t want t...

Having rushed all the way there, and after receiving a lecture from Guan Yu, Liao Hua became increasingly aware of the Yellow Turban army's weakness. There were no scouts, no ...
