It was late at night, and the mountains were shrouded in the tranquil silence. When most people had fallen asleep, Yun Shu, however, was still wide awake.

Under the pale moonlight, a faint wisp of Spirit Qi could be seen revolving around him.

For beginners, it started with splitting a strand of Spirit Qi into sixteen portions of the plume, a gifted beginner could do thirty-two, and sixty-four

But someone like Yun Shu who could divide a strand into a thousand and twenty-four plumes…

2To put it in the most modest way, he was a monster!

Yun Shu tried to be extremely careful and prudent with every single movement. However, the irresistible drowsiness suddenly overwhelmed him as his head tilted to one side, and soon, he started snoring.

He had drifted to the dreamland!

In the entire Fire Mystic Sect, only Yun Wanli knew that Yun Shu was a prodigy. However, he was merely an old servant, so no one would listen to him.

The true reason behind his failure was sleep: whenever he started cultivating, he would fall asleep. Even someone banging a drum wouldn’t be able to wake him up.

In his deep sleep, Yun Shu had the same dream as every time.

In his dreams, he had seen this large stone gate countless times. It was so magnificent and majestic that the gate almost looked like a pillar connecting heaven and earth.

It seemed that the stone gate had been standing there for millions of years, back from the times of turmoil.

The power of destruction coming from the gate. He dared not get any closer.

However, this time was different. Today, he was extremely angry and frustrated with his repeated failures and the impending doom.

Yun Shu got carried away by his anger, the fear thrown out of the window. His left hand clenching into a fist, he sprinted for the stone gate and fiercely pounded at it.

Yun Shu thought it would hurt a lot. To his great surprise, however, the moment his fist touched the hard surface, the huge gate was absorbed by his hand in the twinkling of an eye and became a gate-shaped mark on his palm.

Yun Shu was shocked by the turn of events. Suddenly, he lost his balance and started falling into the darkness. When his body hit the hard floor, he was jolted awake.

“Time to get up, Young Master Yun!” A man’s smooth voice came into Yun Shu’s ears.

He turned around and found himself on the floor.

His quilt and pillow were also on the floor.

In front of Yun Shu stood three men.

He turned around and found himself on the floor, his quilt and pillow scattered on the side. Currently, in front of Yun Shu stood three men; they were also outer sect disciples of the Fire Mystic Sect. However, all of them had reached the fifth level of Qi Sky Realm or even above. They were much more accomplished than him.

“Senior Brother Fan Wen, the sect’s rule doesn’t allow intrusion. Don’t you know it?” asked Yun Shu in a deep voice. All of his stuff had been thrown onto the floor.

“The rule says no intrusion into disciples’ rooms. Are you still a disciple? Or are you suggesting that you’ve reached the fifth level?” Fan Wen grinned at Yun Shu.

The smirk on his face made Yun Shu feel disgusted. Fan Wen was trained by Elder Chen Sheng, who somehow disliked Yun Wanli a lot.

“My master is responsible for examining the outer disciples this year, and he has assigned you to me because testing you will just be a waste of time. Let me introduce you to my two junior brothers, Zhang Bao and Wang Hu. They joined the sect two years ago, and both of them have reached the fifth level. If you can beat either of them, you pass the test,” said Fan Wen while sneering unpleasantly.

Obviously, Fan Wen had come here today to teach Yun Shu a good lesson.

“Come on, Young Master Yun!” said Wang Hu as he stepped forward and grinned evilly. His eyes looked sharp and cruel, like a wolf’s.

And while he was speaking, Wang Hu had already reached out his hands like a pair of claws!

“F*ck off!” Yun Shu’s chest was filled with hatred. He threw a punch at Wang Hu as hard as he could.

But Yun Shu’s hasty and simple move was nothing in Wang Hu’s eyes.

Bang!

Wang Hu grabbed Yun Shu’s left arm.

“Don’t rush now. This is just the beginning of the test. I’ll make this day memorable to you!” Wang Hu put on a ferocious smile.

Grabbing his arm, Wang Hu gathered his Qi and was ready to infuse Yun Shu’s arm with the burning energy.

Sizzle…

Wang Hu’s Qi churned inside Yun Shu’s arm, and the sharp pain was unbearable.

Yun Shu hurriedly removed his eyes from his palm, looked up, and saw Wang Hu’s eyes filled with terror.
