Shaurya and the City Lord bowed respectfully to each other. The City Lord then requested permission to leave.
Shaurya nodded and handed him a Qi Enhancement Pill. "This will help you in your cultivation," he said.
The City Lord gratefully accepted it, bowed again, and left.
Shaurya then turned to his disciples. "Let’s go visit the city."
Wang Tian replied, "I’ve already visited."
Xiao Rui and Xiao Lian added, "We’re from this city, so we don’t want to go either."
Shaurya sighed. "Okay, okay. You stay here then. I’ll go alone."
With that, he left to explore the city. Once he was gone, Wang Tian climbed up a tree again, thinking, This Sect Master is truly mysterious. It’s better to stay here and become strong.
Xiao Lian and Xiao Rui noticed Wang Tian in full aura cultivation mode sitting on the tree. They smiled at each other, then sat beneath the tree. Xiao Rui began to cultivate.
Xiao Lian said softly, "You cultivate. I’ll protect you."
Wang Tian opened one eye, glanced at the siblings, and smiled before closing it again.
Meanwhile, Shaurya was still roaming around the city. He bought some weapons and stored them in the system space. Then he bought food.
"I didn’t expect to find these ingredients, fruits and vegetables in this cultivation world. I can make many dishes by them, that’s great!" he exclaimed with delight.
He walked around like a curious child, enjoying the rare leisure time. "It’s only been five days since I arrived in this world, and so much has happened already," he thought.
Soon, he spotted a clothing store. "System, do you have more clothes like these for me?"
"Yes, host," the system replied.
He entered the store, bought casual clothes, and then more food and fruits. As he wandered near the city’s outer gate, he remembered something.
"Hey, system, you gave me a kitchen as a reward, didn’t you?"
"Of course, host. I thought about you and gave it so you wouldn’t starve to death."
"What do you think of me?! I have money to build a kitchen, and I’m eating food just fine without it. What’s the meaning of this?"
The system went silent ignored him completely.
Shaurya sighed. "Fine, fine. I know you do whatever you want. At least you gave some good items. Now let me see the techniques."
3 Earth Level Techniques:
Mountain Breaking Fist
6 Sky Level Techniques:
1 Immortal Level Technique:
Everything Suppressing Palm
He was amazed. "Okay, system. Learn."
"I don’t need to learn them, host."
"I mean, teach them to me!"
"Oh, then say it clearly."
"Sorry, system sir. Please do it now."
"Congratulations, host. Techniques have been learned."
In an instant, Shaurya used Aerial Walk. His speed was so fast that people thought a powerful wind had blown through. Within minutes, he arrived at Demonic Valley.
"Let’s test my strength," he said, standing at a mountain peak.
Suddenly, a massive eagle attacked him. He glared at it with devilish eyes. The eagle was so terrified that it immediately flew away.
Then he heard a blast. Smoke rose in the distance.
"Something’s going on," he thought and dashed towards it.
He saw a massive red lion with a horn on its head, wings, and a sharp blade on its tail. Its size was that of a giant mammoth. A girl stood atop the beast, while others flew beside it on swords.
His gaze shifted to side an injured girl in a silver-white robe. She had an incredibly attractive face, black hair, and blue eyes. Around 18 years old, she was covered in blood and struggling to stand with her sword.
System Notification: Legendary Level Task Triggered: Save the girl and recruit her into your sect. Reward: Spiritual Guardian Beast — Primordial Dragon.
Shaurya was shocked. Then he smile with shock and then, He laughed loudly.
The people down below looked up.
With a dangerous smile and a powerful aura releasing from him, Shaurya growled, "Even if you hadn’t given me the task, I’d still save her. But now that you’ve offered a Primordial Dragon... I always wanted a dragon... I’m definitely in."
A woman in a luxurious red robe atop the lion ordered her subordinate, "Go and kill that boy. He saw this!."
The subordinate nodded and flew toward Shaurya.
Before she could reach him, Shaurya vanished, reappearing instantly. He grabbed her by the mouth and slammed her into the ground like a meteorite. The impact crushed her and shocked everyone.
Slowly, Shaurya began walking forward like a killer. With a sinister smile, he unsheathed his sword.
Four more subordinates rushed him.
Ultimate Sword Slash!
With a single sweeping motion, he cut them all down, enraging the woman atop the lion.
The lion roared and launched a fiery attack.
Shaurya dodged. "System, what is that beast?"
"Giant Flame Lion. Level: Qi Refiner Level 4. Rider: Feng Ya. Qi Refiner Level 1."
A fierce battle began. Shaurya clashed with the beast, cutting off its horn, but got struck by its giant claw and crashed into a mountain.
He stood, injured but smiling. "Let’s test my new power."
Feng Ya ordered, "Kill him!"
Suddenly, a massive energy surge surrounded Shaurya.
System Notification: Qi Refiner Level 3 → Level 4. Sky Changes.
Shaurya roared, "EVERYTHING SUPPRESSING PALM!"
A giant golden hand descended from the sky. The ground trembled. Feng Ya and her lion attacked—but their efforts were useless. The palm struck, shaking the entire valley.
When the dust settled, a massive crater had formed. Shaurya stood in front of the injured girl, shielding her from the blast.
He Turned to her and handed her a healing pill. "Eat this."
She hesitated but ate it. In seconds, she was completely healed.
Shocked, she looked at him.
Shaurya smiled. "Join my sect."
"I’m Shaurya. Sect Master of the Sanatan Flame Sect—the strongest sect in Blue Stone City."
This guy is way too powerful, she thought. Even the beast was no match for him.
After a pause, she bowed. "Disciple Muo Qian greets Master."
System Notification: Task Complete. Reward Granted — Spiritual Guardian Beast: Primordial Dragon (to be received upon return to sect).
Shaurya’s eyes sparkled.
"Let’s go. I’ll take you to meet the others."
As the sun set, the scene shifted back. Wang Tian was sleeping on the tree. Xiao Rui cultivated while Xiao Lian munched on apples.
"Yo yo, disciples!" Shaurya’s voice rang out.
Wang Tian woke and jumped down. Xiao Rui stood up. Xiao Lian asked, "Master, where have you been? Did you finish visiting the city?"
Shaurya grinned. "Well, I was visiting the city, but then I went to Demonic Valley to test something."
"Demonic Valley?!" Xiao Rui exclaimed. "Master, when did you go there? Aren’t you are visiting the city?"
Shaurya chuckled. "Yeah, yeah. I visited the city, then decided to check out the valley... and I brought someone."
From behind him, a beautiful girl emerged, dressed in new clothes and completely healed.
Wang Tian stared, blushed, and turned away. "W-what is this feeling...?"
Shaurya introduced, "She is now a member of our sect. Your new fellow disciple."
Xiao Lian smiled and introduced herself, followed by Xiao Rui. Wang Tian chuckled awkwardly.
Xiao Rui and Lian exchanged knowing looks and laughed.
Shaurya smirked. "This guy was a great emperor in his previous life, and he can’t even talk to a girl. Hahaha!"
The girl spoke softly, "I’m Muo Qian."
Xiao Rui nudged Wang Tian. "Hey, big bro, don’t tell me you’ve fallen for our new member."
Wang Tian folded his arms, turned away with a cold demeanor, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Shaurya watched the interaction and smiled. I thought handling this guy would be tough, but it looks like he’s blending in well. That’s good.
Meanwhile, at the site of destruction caused by Shaurya’s battle, a shadowy figure stood, smiling ominously.
