Who Am I : I'M The Prince Of Dragon Kingdom (Australia) Part - 1 (Teaser)
Chapter 1 - Opening the First Seal


~16 Year Later~


In the room on the second floor of a house, there is a teenager who is now sleeping soundly in his bed. But for some reason, he suddenly woke up screaming, because he had a bad dream.


“ Aaahhhh .....!! “.


After waking up and reconfiguring his gaze, he realized that he was still in his bedroom. And through the sunlight that hit him from the cracks of the roof of his house, he then also realized that it was already noon.


He then just rubbed his forehead, while repeatedly regulating his breathing.


‘ Huhh ..., What was the dream ....?? ‘. His mind asked in wonder.


He felt very astonished in his heart, because in his entire life, he had never felt such a terrifying and strange dream like the one he had experienced earlier.


In his dream, he saw a huge and terrifying dragon. Maybe with just his aura, the dragon can make others shiver when around him.


The dragon is dark blue, and has a pair of large wings on its back. He then saw, that the dragon was instantly flying around the sky in an uncertain direction.


And the look of the face shown by the dragon is always changing. Sometimes feeling sad, sometimes feeling scared, and sometimes feeling really happy.


But for some reason, the dragon then immediately acted alert. And out of nowhere, suddenly appeared various kinds of attacks that then directly lead to the dragon.


With the various efforts he made, the giant dragon then tried to avoid and fend off various kinds of attacks. However, because the attacks that attacked him never stopped, the giant dragon then became overwhelmed.


Thus, many of the attacks ended up scratching his giant body. The wounds on his body are now more and more, and more and more. Until finally a strong attack then make one of the wings and front legs, must be separated from his body.


The dragon immediately lost its balance, and in the end fell into an endless abyss that was very dark.


And just a few moments later, somehow the dragon's body then shone so brightly, that it dazzled whatever was in sight.


After the light subsided, he then saw that the dragon had now risen again, with an overflowing powerful aura enveloping his body. The wounds that were originally scratched on the dragon's body have now recovered, even one of its wings and front legs that were originally separated has now been reconnected.


The dragon then roared loudly in anger, and at that moment his entire body was now covered in blue flames. His eyeballs also flared up because of his mounting anger.


And finally with its great power, the dragon immediately destroyed, and ravaged everything. With a single swing of its claws, the dragon was able to split the sky, and with just a tap of its light legs, it could make any land crack and crumble.


So that even around the dragon now there is nothing left, only a terrible terrible destruction is visible.


And after destroying everything, the gigantic dragon immediately stared at him with a terrifying look. And in that instant, the dragon then darted swiftly towards him, shouting an extremely loud roar.


It was that thing that then made him wake up immediately, and scream like that.


‘ Hmm ..., was the dream a sign of something happening ...? But, what does that mean .....?? ‘. His mind wondered in his heart.


Thinking about it while twitching his forehead, he was suddenly startled by the voice of a middle-aged woman who came from downstairs.


“ Ming Zhi ...! Are you okay .....? “. Ask the middle-aged woman.


“ Mmm ..., I'm fine Aunt ...! “. Reply to the teenager.


“ Then hurry down ....! Your breakfast I have prepared ......! “. Said the middle-aged woman.


“ Mmm ...., Alright ....!! “. Reply again.


His name was Long Ming Zhi. He has blue hair, and has a posture that is not too high. She lives with her aunt in a two-story house. He only helped his aunt deliver meat ordered by customers.


However, sometimes he also secretly trained his body with light training in the forest suburb of Wo without his aunt's knowledge.


Meanwhile, the middle-aged woman was named Lin Hua. He was a butcher who worked in his butcher shop next door. He daily cut off the flesh of the ferocious beasts he bought from the beast hunters.


Lin Hua is a widow. Her husband died from being attacked by spirit beasts, while hunting wild beasts. He also did not have children, so he considered the child who lived with him as his own biological son. (1)


After eating his breakfast, Ming Zhi headed straight to his aunt's butcher shop. Because she wanted to help her aunt there.


When he saw Ming Zhi coming, Lin Hua went straight to him.


“ Ming Zhi ....! Are you okay ....?? Not usually you wake up when it is noon .., “. Lin Hua asked worriedly.


“ Mmm ..., no need to worry aunt ....! I'm fine ....! “. Ming Zhi reply was brief.


“ Hmm ..., are you sure, you're okay ...?? “. Asked Lin Hua once again to make sure.


“ Mmm ..., Of course aunt ...! Maybe yesterday I was just a little tired, so I woke up last night ...! “. Reply Ming Zhi.


Ming Zhi actually realized that his dream was what made him wake up during the day. But she didn't want to tell the truth, because she didn't want to make her aunt worry.


“ Huhh ..., Then fine ...! “. Said Lin Hua sighing in relief.


“ Umm ..., Then where is the meat I should bring today ....?? “. Ask Ming Zhi.


“ Which it ....! Please deliver to grandmother Zhao's house ....!! “. Reply Lin Hua while pointing towards the meat pack.


“ And this one, please deliver to uncle Fan's house .....!! “. Add it while handing over the other package.


“ Hehh ...., Uncle Fan's order meat looks more than before ..., “. Said Ming Zhi while receiving the package.


“ Mmm ..., Auntie did deliberately add it as a bonus ..., because your Uncle was our regular customer ..., “. Reply Lin Hua.


“ Then, I will deliver it immediately ...! “. Ming Zhi.


“ Mmm ..., Be careful on the road ..! “. Reply Lin Hua.


After exiting his aunt's shop, Ming Zhi headed straight west, to the house of an old grandmother surnamed Zhao.


After arriving, Ming Zhi saw the grandmother was waiting in front of his house. Grandma Zhao then took the parcel from Ming Zhi, and then paid for as much as 10 pieces of bronze.


And after saying goodbye, Ming Zhi immediately left Grandma Zhao's house.


“ Alright .., Next to Uncle Fan's house “. Said Ming Zhi as he looked towards the remaining parcels.


‘ Hmm ...., is the thing I asked Uncle Fan to make it done ....? ‘. He asked in his heart.


Fan Xiong was the second closest person to Ming Zhi after her aunt, as Ming Zhi already considered Fan Xiong as her own uncle. He was a forger, working on his forging workshop located in the center of the city.


Ming Zhi often visited him as a child, and Fan Xiong also often told him about the world of cultivators in Ming Zhi. From there Ming Zhi then aspired to become a swordsman. (2)


And after arriving at Fan Xiong's workshop, Ming Zhi immediately entered the workshop. He then saw a large, burly middle-aged man, hitting a metal shaped like a large scythe with a forging hammer.


Ming Zhi just silently watched, as she was afraid of disturbing Fan Xiong while at work. He then only noticed Fan Xiong's style in forging.


“ Dang ..., Dang ..., Dang ..., “.


“ Huufft ...., Finally finished also ..., “. Fan Xiong said with a sigh.


“ Ehhh ....!! Looks like I was too engrossed in forging so as not to notice your arrival ..., “. Then he looked towards the entrance.


“ Hehehe ....! “. Ming Zhi only laughed lightly while scratching the back of his head, which then directly approached Fan Xiong.


“ Did you deliver my order meat ....? “. Fan Xiong asked Ming Zhi.


“ Mmm ..., That's right uncle ...! Aunty also added some extra meat as a bonus ..., “. Reply Ming Zhi while nodding.


“ Hehh .., Then this is the money ... “. Fan Xiong said as he handed over 10 pieces of bronze.


“ Mmm ..., Thank you Uncle ...! “. Said Ming Zhi, while receiving the money.


“ Mmm ...., also send my thanks to your aunt ....! “. Reply Fan Xiong.


“ Oh yes uncle Fan ..., Did the thing I asked for uncle make it done ...?? “. Then ask Ming Zhi.


“ Mmm ..., I just finished it yesterday ....! Wait here for a minute, I'll get you ...! “. Said Fan Xiong, who then headed towards the back.


After a while of waiting, Fan Xiong finally returned with a pair of iron gloves that looked slightly heavy in his hands.


“ Well .., beware– Beware ....! This iron glove is quite heavy ....! It would be better if you adjust to the weight first ... “. Fan Xiong said as he handed the iron glove to Ming Zhi.


“ Mmm, Alright ....! So, what is the cost for this iron glove uncle ...? “. Then ask Ming Zhi.


“ Hmm ..., no need to pay it ..., just assume this is my gratitude to you and your aunt ..., “. Reply Fan Xiong.


“ Wahh ...! Well then, thank you very much uncle ....! “. Ming Zhi said happily.


“ Mmm ..., Equally ..., “. Reply Fan Xiong with a light nod.


Ming Zhi then directly hung a pair of iron gloves on his hips.


“ Heii ..., Boy ....! Are you serious about becoming a cultivator ...? “. Then asked Fan Xiong.


“ Mmm ...., Of course ....!! “. Ming Zhi reply was brief.


“ Hmm ..., are you absolutely sure ....?? Didn't I tell you before, that cultivator's world is a cruel world ....! A world where one can freely kill another, just for the sake of pursuing power and profit ..., “. Fan Xiong warned.


“ Mmm ..., It will not diminish my determination uncle ....! Because, I'm sure if not all cultivators become like that ....! “. Reply Ming Zhi.


“ Anyway, my decision to become a Swordsman has been very unanimous uncle .....! I want to be a strong Swordsman, so that I can protect people who are precious to me ....! “. Added again.


Seeing such a strong determination from the teenager in front of him, even Fan Xiong then only sighed.


“ Hahhh ..., Then maybe I can only say one thing to you ..., “. Fan Xiong's.


“ Be careful of everything ....! One will become strong if one is always vigilant and does not underestimate something, no matter how small it is .....!! “. Fan Xiong gave advice.


“ Mmm ..., Alright uncle ..., Your message will always be remembered .....! “. Ming Zhi replied.


Actually Fan Xiong still felt a little worried for Ming Zhi. Because, if Ming Zhi were to be in danger while going his way as a Cultivator, he would feel guilty all his life.


Because indeed, the story of Fan Xiong made Ming Zhi interested in becoming a Cultivator.


“ Then, I will just go back uncle ...., Again thanks for the iron gloves ...!! “. Then said Ming Zhi.


“ Mmm, Alright ..., Also send my greetings to your aunt ...! “. Fan Xiong's.


“ Mmm .., “. Ming Zhi replied.


After bidding farewell, Ming Zhi left Fan Xiong's workshop and headed home.


And while on the way, Ming Zhi suddenly felt like there were some people following him. He then turned towards the Wo forest, to make sure of that.


And sure enough, those few people also then followed Ming Zhi to enter the Wo forest. Noticing that, Ming Zhi stopped in the forest.


“ Fast ...! Show yourself .....!! “. Shouted Ming Zhi coldly.


“ Hehh ..., You are aware of our existence, but instead head towards the forest ..., “. Then said one teenager, who appeared with three others in the recent past.


“ Xiao Hei ....! What do you want ....?? “. Said Ming Zhi coldly, who recognized the teenager.


“ Cihh ..., Of course, to avenge what you did yesterday ...!! “. Reply Xiao Hei was upset.


“ Hmm ...., But, why are you so coward ....., after I hit yesterday, now you want to gang up on me ..! “. Said Ming Zhi as he looked towards the three people behind Xiao Hei.


“ Cihh ..., I don't care .....!! After this you will know, the result of looking for trouble with me .., “. Reply Xiao Hei.


“ Looking for problems ....?? I just can't accept you bullying the old man, just because you're the son of the mayor ....!! “. Ming Zhi.


Xiao Hei was the son of the Lotus Lake mayor. He was considered as a child who was talented in cultivation. His current cultivation level was at the level of Physical Development level 5. However, he was very arrogant, and always acted arbitrarily. (3)


Ming Zhi had once hit him and defeated him, because indeed he was stronger than Xiao Hei. He hit him because back then Xiao Hei had once bullied the poor beggar's grandfather, simply because his clothes were tattered which he thought was ruining the beauty of the city.


“ Hahhh ....! I'm lazy to take care of you ...! “. Reply Xiao Hei.


“ Fast ....! Siege, and finish him .....!! “. Then his orders went to the three people behind him.


And after giving the order, Xiao Hei immediately left the forest, as he entrusted completely to the three people he had told, who were mercenary cultivators.


Meanwhile, the cultivators immediately surrounded Ming Zhi to surround him. Those cultivators were at level 8 of Physical Development level, while Ming Zhi was currently still at level 6. Of course it is a significant difference in strength, especially if added to the fact that they number three people.


“ Hehh ..., To fight ants alone tell us to gang up on them ..., “. Said one of the cultivators who underestimated Ming Zhi.


“ Hmm ...., Then let me fight him ....! He'll I beat in a flash “. Another cultivator.


Hearing the scorn from his opponent, Ming Zhi somehow only showed a light smile.


“ Hehh ..., Ants yes ...., do you guys not know .....? Although only ants, but he can also bite ..., “. He said, while then wearing his new iron gloves.


“ Cihhh ...., a lot of nonsense ....!! “. Reply the cultivator was annoyed.


The cultivator then immediately shot towards Ming Zhi, while then launching various attacks with a machete in his hand. Ming Zhi only tried to dodge it, and occasionally fended off the attack with movements that looked somewhat stiff.


And looking at Ming Zhi who seemed overwhelmed, the Cultivator was then even more excited to constantly launch his attacks.


‘ Huhh ..., This iron glove feels quite heavy ..., It seems, at this time I should indeed start getting used to it ..., ‘. Inner Ming Zhi while looking at his stiff movements.


After fending off and dodging many attacks from his opponent, Ming Zhi then began to get a little used to the weight of his gloves. He was also getting used to the attack pattern of his opponent.


And thanks to his physical training secretly on the outskirts of the Wo forest, Ming Zhi also became more and more agile in avoiding the attacks that the cultivator launched.


He then watched every attack his opponent made, trying to find the weak spot of the attack.


‘ Hehh ..., It turns out so ....! ‘. Then Inner Ming Zhi realized something.


‘ After he did a slash attack from bottom to top, he then directly targeted my head ..., ‘. Added.


Through an exchange of attacks with his opponent, Ming Zhi also now understood the attack pattern of his opponent.


When Ming Zhi fended off his opponent's slash coming from below, that opponent must have immediately made a twisting motion to aim for his head. Because it was indeed the area of his head, it then became the weak point of Ming Zhi's defense.


‘ Alright ...! Now it's time ....!! ‘. Ming Zhi cried inwardly.


Ming Zhi also suddenly lowered his head to avoid the slash his opponent had slashed at his head, and then quickly struck the cultivator right in his stomach. So that the Cultivator immediately bounced back a few steps.


And seeing that, the other mercenary Cultivators were instantly shocked.


“ Cihhh ..., I seem to have underestimated this boy ....!! He found the weak point of my attack in such a short time .... “. Said the cultivator while holding his stomach that felt quite sick.


“ Hmm ...., This child is not as weak as it seems ..., He is very nimble and intelligent ...! He can beat you two levels above him ..., “. Said another cultivator.


“ Mmm ..., Maybe, we should indeed fight it together ..... “. The others added.


And seeing the opponents who had now surrounded him, Ming Zhi was immediately alert.


“ Cihhh ..., coward ....!! Are you not ashamed to gang up on someone weaker than you ...!? “. Ming Zhi.


“ Hehhh ..., Blame yourself, for offending someone wrong ..., “. Reply The cultivator smirked.


“ Hmm ...., does that mean you also admit that Xiao Hei is someone who is wrong ....? “. Ming Zhi.


“ Cihhh ..., Boy talk a lot ....! “. The cultivator was angry.


The Cultivators then directly attacked Ming Zhi simultaneously. Ming Zhi could only try to retreat while fending off and dodging every attack that the Cultivators had launched.


However, Ming Zhi was apparently unable to compensate for the direct attack patterns of the three of them. Thus, many attacks from them finally hit his body. Blood then soaked Ming Zhi's body and shoulders, but he kept trying to withstand his opponent's attacks as much as possible.


But in the end there was a rock behind him, thus preventing him from moving backwards.


“ Hehehe ...., Finally you will not be able to avoid again ..., “. The Cultivators grinned.


Looking at his opponent who surrounded him from three sides, Ming Zhi also became extremely wary. He began to feel unsure about escaping the situation. But he kept trying to think hard, about how to escape the siege of his enemy.


An idea suddenly appeared in his brain.


“ Ahhh ..., Teacher ...!! Finally you came to save me ....!! “. Said Ming Zhi as he looked towards the back of the Cultivators, acting in such a way as if he was in relief.


‘ Ehh ….? Teacher ….!?? ‘.


At first, Ming Zhi did not feel confident that this matter could deceive them. But in reality, the cultivators immediately turned to the back, looking for the figure Ming Zhi spoke of.


Ming Zhi was stunned for a moment in surprise, thinking about how stupid they were. But he then quickly regained his senses, and immediately seized the opportunity to escape.


And this happened so fast.


“ Boy you cheated us ...! “. Said the Cultivator while returning a glance towards Ming Zhi.


But when he saw Ming Zhi who was no longer in front of them, the cultivators realized that Ming Zhi had deliberately used a sneaky trick to escape.


“ THE DESPICABLE CUNNING BOY.......!!! “. Shouted the Cultivator, instantly feeling angry.


“ Come quickly, chase him ...!! He would not be able to escape far away in such a wounded state ...!! “. Said another Cultivator who then directly rushed over to chase after Ming Zhi.


...................


...


In the interior of the forest, the current Ming Zhi still continued to run while holding onto his bloody chest. He then continued to run, until deep into the forest.


And after a moment of running, Ming Zhi then found that the area of trees in front of him felt very quiet and gloomy. But even so, he then kept his feet forward, and directly entered the gloomy forest area.


And a short while after Ming Zhi left, the Cultivators who were chasing him arrived at the place.


“ Boss ..., He seems to have entered this deep area of the forest ....!! “. Say one of them.


“ Mmm ..., according to rumors, he said a beast hunter was once killed by a snake-shaped spirit beast in this area boss ...! “. Saying someone else.


“ Cihh ...., Rumor is a rumor ....! Keep on chasing ....!! I have to make sure with my own head, that the child is dead ..., “. Reply to the Cultivator called the boss.


The Cultivators then directly entered the area within the Wo forest.



Meanwhile, Ming Zhi was currently sitting under a shady tree due to exhaustion. His body was covered in blood, and his breathing grew even more breathless. He then positioned his body cross-legged to regulate his breathing.


But a moment later, there was the sound of several footsteps that kept getting closer.


“ Cihhh ..., Finally they caught up with me ..., It seems like I can only do a life-and-death fight ..., “. Ming Zhi muttered while trying to stand up.


Hearing the sound of increasingly loud footsteps, Ming Zhi was finally found by the three cultivators who became his enemies.


“ Hehehe ...., we finally found you ....! This time, I won't let you run again ...! “. Said the mercenary Cultivator Leader.


“ Cihh ..., This time I will not run anymore ..., I will fight it out with you guys ...! “. Reply Ming Zhi.


“ Hehh .., big-mouthed boy ....! At most after this, you will probably directly beg for mercy on us ...., “. Said another cultivator.


However, suddenly the mercenary Cultivators also saw a black shadow that shot out very quickly from a distance towards the back of Ming Zhi. The shadow is very long and big.


The three cultivators instantly became extremely frightened when they saw him.


“ B ..., b ..., boss ....! Ms. .., Isn't that ....! “. Said one of the mercenary cultivators who suddenly became stammered.


“ I .., This ..., U ..., snake...., a very large snake...!! “. Reply to the leader of the mercenary cultivators who also creeped in fear.


Hearing their words, Ming Zhi then smiled lightly.


“ Hehhh .., How funny ...!! Are you trying to trick me, to get revenge because I cheated you earlier ....?? “. Ming Zhi said with a quick laugh, because he thought it was funny.


But those Cultivators remained silent while frightened. And a moment after, they then returned to their senses, and immediately rushed to flee away from the place with all their might.


Seeing this, Ming Zhi was astonished. But somehow he suddenly felt a chill at the back of his neck.


And after turning his gaze back, he immediately felt extremely shocked when he saw a 6-meter-tall giant snake, which was now looking at him with a ferocious gaze.


The giant snake also emitted an extremely sharp and dense aura, so that someone who was around him would instantly shudder in fear. Feeling the same, Ming Zhi also instantly felt extremely helpless.


And as if not wanting to let Ming Zhi react in the slightest, the giant snake then directly attacked Ming Zhi using its tail. So that Ming Zhi who was currently in an unfavorable position was immediately thrown very far because of the extremely fast attack.


After being thrown dozens of meters, he finally stopped after hitting a large tree hard. As a result his internal organs were immediately shaken, he was now spewing a lot of blood from his mouth.


‘ Cihh ..., Shit ....! ‘. Aspersion.


And once again, without waiting for Ming Zhi to react, the giant snake then immediately darted rapidly towards Ming Zhi, opening its fangs.


Seeing that, Ming Zhi then tried to stand up and dodge. However, it turned out that it did not produce results, because with all his efforts, he could not even move his hands in the slightest.


He was now only able to see the arrival of the giant snake, which was now closer and closer to him. And without realizing it, his soul immediately trembled in fear.


“ I .., This ...., Is this the end ...?? “. Stimulants.


This was for the first time in his life, Ming Zhi felt extremely frightened and helpless.


His heart was beating very fast, and his whole body was shivering. He was afraid of the threat that threatened his life. He also felt fear, if he ended up failing to keep his promise to protect those closest to him.


Fear is the natural feeling of every being, which can make a person alert, and can keep him safe. This feeling arises when there is something that he thinks can threaten his life.


This feeling in Ming Zhi experienced at the very last moment the giant snake pounced on him.


‘ Cihh ..., After some thought, I haven't even gotten to know who my biological parents are..., ‘. Inner Ming Zhi.


The closer the giant snake was to him, the fear experienced by Ming Zhi was then also spread throughout his body.


And suddenly, there appeared a few energy points condensed in the air, which quickly gathered toward Ming Zhi. The condensed energy point was then instantly absorbed into his body, then quickly spread throughout his limbs. His body was now enveloped by an enormous and powerful aura.


Strangely, some parts of the skin on his body were now covered in a strange scales. The nails on his fingertips are now elongated, forming a claw. The fangs are also now slightly elongated.


And for some reason, Ming Zhi then subconsciously let out a terrifying growl. His eyes turned blood-red, like he had no pupils at all. He seemed to be currently in an unconscious state.


And when the giant snake that was about to pounce on him was now right in front of him, Ming Zhi was instantly disappearing from where he was. So that the giant snake was now only catching empty air.


Just a second after, Ming Zhi suddenly reappeared right above the giant snake's head. He then immediately threw his punch down, right on the skull of the snake's top. So that with a force that was somehow so very strong, the snake immediately hit the ground hard.


With just that single strike, the giant snake was now instantly killed on the spot. But even so, as if not wanting to let it go, Ming Zhi then immediately returned to launch a series of attacks on the giant snake.


He beat blindly, clawed, and tore the snake mercilessly, like he was possessed by something.


Only after seeing that the giant snake's head had now been shapelessly shattered did Ming Zhi then stop his attack.


As a result of the brutal attack he did, the area around Ming Zhi was now also destroyed.


And without realizing it, Ming Zhi suddenly let out a roar so loud that it echoed throughout the forest.


“ Rrooaaarrrrrr.......!!!! “.


..................


...


Meanwhile on the outskirts of the Wo forest, in an area close to the Lotus Lake city.


“ Boss ...., did you hear that voice ....? “. Said one of the mercenary Cultivators who had run away from Ming Zhi.


“ Mmm ..., whatever it is, I can confirm that the boy must be dead ...., “. Reply to the Cultivator called the boss while grinning.


..................


...


And far away in the middle region of the Qilin Continent, in a neatly arranged room, there was a young man who was now relaxing while looking at the sky from the window.


But for some reason, the young man suddenly smiled.


“ Hehh ..., First seal yes ..., “. Then said.


...................


...


Meanwhile in Ming Zhi's subconscious, he was currently looking at a huge ball of light surrounded by 6 statues. The statues are very large, and shaped like a dragon with different expressions and styles.


Suddenly, one of the statues moved around and flew around the ball of light. And from his expression, the moving dragon statue looked terrified.


Not long after, the statue entered the ball of light. And along with that, Ming Zhi's body then instantly experienced an increase in body strength several times. His muscles and bones instantly also turned denser and stronger.


And after a few hours passed, Ming Zhi finally regained his senses in a cross-legged position. He was still pensive for a while, while recalling what had happened.


One thing he could remember was the seconds when the giant snake had almost pounced on him. Only after that, he then could not remember anything as hard as he tried. He could also only remember the events he had experienced in his subconscious when he was unconscious.


‘ Hmm ..., Is everything that happened I saw just now a dream ....?? ‘. Inner asked.


He tried to ignore it, while then immediately stood up and did a light stretching motion.


After looking towards his surroundings, he then found a giant snake corpse lying on the ground not far from him. The condition of the corpse of the snake was also very tragic.


‘ Hmm ...., Is this what I did ....? “. Ask in your heart, not sure.


And after paying close attention to it, Ming Zhi then found a stone the size of a hand grip on the head of the now-destroyed snake.


Ming Zhi then recalled, if he had ever heard a Cultivator in Lotus Lake city talk about something about spirit stones. The cultivator once got a spirit stone from the spirit beast he killed. (5)


Thinking that it might be the spirit stone in question, Ming Zhi then directly stored it into his pocket.


Only after that, he then sensed something strange from his body.


‘ Heiii ..., This is so strange ....? Why does it feel like my body is becoming so light .....?? Like there is an incredible power, overflowing in my body ..., ‘. Inner Ming Zhi astonished.


He then tried to confirm it, by hitting a large tree in front of him.


After making a light blow, the large tree in front of him was immediately thrown a few meters away before finally stopping, thus creating a path in the middle of the forest.


‘ I .., This ..., Very ..., Kuaatttt......!! ‘. Inner Ming Zhi who became extremely shocked, upon seeing his strength.


‘ Heiii .., Hasn't this power already surpassed the level of Physical development of level 10 ...?? Means didn't I already surpass level 10 ...?? ‘.


‘ Hmm ..., But, isn't that impossible ....?? ‘. Ming Zhi asked in astonished hearts.


He became extremely astonished, because as far as he knew from Fan Xiong's story, not a single cultivator had managed to pass level 10 in his Physical Development level.


‘ Hmm ..., haven't I started gathering energy and condensing it into Qi ....?? So that power was pure just my physical strength ....! Is it possible, this is because of the statue that was in my dream just now .....? ‘. Inwardly, he speculates. (4)


Ming Zhi was actually unsure, if what he saw in his subconscious was merely a dream or reality. For the rest of his life, he had experienced this for the first time.


But one thing he could confirm was that the giant statues he had seen earlier, were very similar to the giant dragons present in his dreams. Thinking about whether the two things might have some connection, Ming Zhi then simply ignored them.


‘ Hahhh ..., Never mind, just think so ...! ‘. Then thought Ming Zhi cuek.


He then also just realized, if the scratches on his body had disappeared without a trace.


‘ Hmm...., Is it possible that this is due to my Physical Development rate that surpasses normal Cultivators ...? ‘. Then his mind guessed.


After experiencing an unnatural increase in his Physical Development level, Ming Zhi felt that the endurance and regeneration rate of his body had also increased tremendously.


After that, aside from taking the giant snake spirit stone, Ming Zhi also broke and took out a pair of fangs, some skin, and also the snake flesh.


He then tied her up into one using vines, then carried her on his back.


Towards dark then, Ming Zhi finally left the area within the Wo forest, and headed straight for the Lotus Lake city.
