Mustika Naga's
The Strength of Core Disciples

While on Dushou mountain the demon army has now started to build a territory of power.

After the Demon Emperor Azazil established the Dushou Mountains as the power base of the higher-ups the demon army was vigorously gathering all the resources to build up the power.

The pool of blood began to flow from the abductees carried out by the shadow troops, the bodies were re-awakened with demon souls through a special technique possessed by Demon General Xiaocao.

The technique was so terrifying, dead humans were resurrected like undead, used as pawns to achieve the goal of the Demon Emperor.

A streak of black light moved swiftly into the Dushou Mountains, with his terrifying aura already certain that he was Demon General Xiaoru, he entered the demon palace and headed towards the main hall.

He deliberately sought out his younger brother, Xiaocao, to immediately finish his job of concocting blood pills. In his plan Xiaoru wanted to repeat the glory of the demon army in the past.

But for a moment he was stunned and remembered Azazil's last words before entering seclusion, that the movement of troops in order to temporarily avoid the Cloud City area.

“You people immediately go and investigate the area of Cloud City in Zu Kingdom, remember just investigate it and do not create chaos” Xiaoru told his subordinates.

He tried to connect the incident of Xiake's death which is quite strange, should in this mortal world no human power can defeat him. Therefore, he did not want to be careless before he did not.

“Any General”

Answer some of the demon troops advance while bowing their bodies ready to carry out the command.

“Depart now, use the disguise identity as an ordinary human” Xiaoru warned them.

Not waiting for long about seven people left the demon palace to head for the Cloud City.

The Eternal Mist Forest

Right now Long Guan was paying attention to the progress of the core disciples, then he summoned them and gave each of them two grains of Core Qi pills to reabsorb.

There was still one more week for them to train in the Eternal fog Forest.

“Tonight you cultivated quietly, take advantage of the time left to earnestly practice” Long Guan reminded them.

During this one week Long Guan had already taught them the storm surge punch technique, which he modified from the mighty dragon punching style and dragon punch piercing through the sky.

Long Guan also created a wind tread punch style. Both of these styles he created specifically to add to the treasury of moves in the sect.

Especially in the middle level, which according to Long Guan as the forerunner of the upper class warriors in the mainland of the Eastern Continent.

After they all returned to their respective huts to cultivate and absorb the Core Qi pills.

Long Guan remained in the training grounds, he looked at the sky with twinkling starlight as if calling himself to long for a happy family atmosphere. He recalled the time with Jian Ling looking at the night sky.

“Ling’er how are you?” said Long Guan resisting longing.

After the meeting of the Long family he went straight to the Eternal fog Forest to again accompany the core disciples in completing his training.

The atmosphere of silence again accompanied the night that passed without the moon, now the disciples are struggling to break through the boundaries, already some students who succeeded, now, and the rest still continues with a strong energy boost and determination.

In this short period of time their bodies continued to work hard with physical training as well as the intake of extremely pure Qi in the Eternal Mist forest, the cultivation and annual training in the sect like in the compress was very densely packed by the Sect Chief in the Eternal Mist Forest.

This achievement is really very extreme, but the strange thing is the physical condition of those who do not feel the negative impact of this hard training. In fact, their bodies are like a huge energy hole that continues to suck energy from the outside to be absorbed into their bodies.

Without them knowing, the habit of eating spiritual animals as daily food increased their vitality many times, Long Guan had also only realized this since he had studied the Book of King Medicines from Long's ancestors.

“Hufft.”

The breath was light as the disciples began to open their eyes in the morning.

All felt a much stronger power than before. There was a flash of satisfaction on each student's face, what a remarkable achievement in just barely three months.

The sun began to form a shadow at the tip of the spear, Long guan gathered his disciples. He changed the previous plan where the disciples would face third and fourth level beastmen on the mountain top, now he switched to match training against him.

Long Guan needed to feel directly what changes were happening to them.

“Today we will train the match, first you advance individually and the second you advance to attack me in groups. In this match practice use all your skills, do not hold it, dig and remove all your potential” said Long Guan with a firm voice.

“Good Chairman” answer they compact.

The aura of the young swordsman was now emanating strongly from all the disciples, there was a very high confidence when they had already climbed the Core Qi realm.

“Good, now we start” said Long Guan.

One by one they advanced and issued sword techniques and punch techniques. From the two sword techniques and the two empty-handed punch techniques, Long Guan could judge the talent and strength of each disciple.

Long Guan nodded in satisfaction with the achievements of his students individually. Their comprehension in deepening the technique was arguably very impressive, even sect elders were still inferior in the comprehension and speed of these few core disciples.

Long Guan then continued.

"Now you guys go ahead in groups, I will put a little energy on you, be careful if you don't want to get seriously injured” Long Guan said very seriously.

Hearing this the disciples rounded their eyes, but they did not tremble. They advance in unison with a compact, some attack with sword techniques and some attack relying on empty-handed style.

Yet every single move they took out could be easily avoided by Long Guan. In the few times their attacks seemed desperate, the strength they were proud of meant nothing in front of their Sect Chief.

“You don't let your guard down Long Guan broke their shock.

Long Guan took out a light sweep to the several disciples in just one move, but the impact they had bounced back up to five to eight meters, they got up and attacked back with all their might.

The Qi energy began to flow with all its might into the palm as well as into the sword, they wanted to make one deadly move. Looking at the sight of his serious-looking disciples Long Guan nodded happily with a smile.

The wisps of light fluttering into one led to Long Guan's body, their strength was basically already on par with the strength of a fighter in the Rebirth realm.

Long Guan looked calm not moving one bit, the wisp of energy light hit Long Guan's body.

“Dhuaar”

There was a huge explosive sound heard, the breathing of the disciples now began to pant after issuing the deadly attack.

Before long appeared Long Guan's body with his smiling face.

“Good, your training did not disappoint me” Long Guan said as he stepped towards them.

“Excellent! Sect Leader is very strong, he is completely unaffected by the combined strength of the disciples” muttered Mei Shin in his heart, he was very amazed by the figure of his sect head.

“You immediately recover yourself, the day is already near noon. In a moment you guys are packing up to leave the training ground” Long Guan said as he gave the third level Energy Enhancer Pill.

“Good chairman”

Replied them excitedly, a sense of tiredness instantly dissipated the moment they heard about going back home to the sect.
