"what do you think about this brother Xinli" Ful Maya said to the shadow

"As I observed the fight, looks like, he did not even use his full power to fight you. His reaction time is also significantly higher. Even some bone-forging individuals can't compare to him," the shadow replied.

"Not only that, he did not even unsheathe his sword," she remarked.

"You did not use your full power either. If both of you were to go all out, it would be difficult to determine the winner," the shadow added.

"By the way, why didn't you use your full strength, young lady?" the shadow inquired curiously.

"Hmm... perhaps because he is quite handsome? Anyway, I am going to take a bath now. You may leave," she said, waving.

"…"

"Understood" taking the command the shadow left

...,

As I entered the outer quest hall, I noticed the elder deeply engrossed in a book as usual.

"Senior, I completed the quest," I informed the elder.

"What quest? Can't you see I'm busy?" the elder replied without looking, clearly not interested.

"…"

"Um, it was the quest to spar with Ful Maya. You promised me an extra 50 contribution points if I won," I reminded him.

"Oh, it's you. So, did you win against her? Why are you still in one piece?" the elder suddenly seemed curious when I mentioned Ful Maya.

'How am I still fine? Did you think I'd be dead? This old guy... let's stay calm,' I thought to myself, taking a deep breath.

"I actually managed to defeat her," I said with a smile, trying to keep my cool.

"No way... How did you beat her?" the elder questioned not believing, looking at me intently as if he suspected I was lying.

Suppressing my inner demon, I calmly showed him my token.

"There it is," I calmly presented my token to him. After catching a glimpse of my token, he began to show surprise, realizing that I was right.

"Gezz... here's an extra 50 contribution points," the elder handed me the additional points he had promised, still in disbelief.

"Hehe... thanks for the extra meal," I said, slipping the token into my pouch and grinning like a wealthy person.

"Hmmm... go go, you little brat," the elder said, sounding like he was chasing a spoiled child.

"See you soon, elder," I replied casually as I made my way out of the Quest Hall.

But the elder did not reply as he was out of interest….

…..,

But suddenly, I ran into some trouble right as I was about to exit through the entrance door.

Yeah, it was a member of the Mo Clan... Mo Fu, Mo Gu, and Mo Shi, who seemed to have just completed a quest.

Mo Fu, towering at two meters tall, looked down on me as if I were some insignificant child. Mo Gu's expression started to change as he caught sight of my face, ready to engage in a fight. And Mo Shi stood behind them, smirking cunningly like a mastermind.

Out of a sudden, when I saw their face…. Kinda feels like beating someone

"MF Get the fuck out of our way you mf orphan… or I will beat the hell ou….."

"…" All the passers-by were startled by the sudden voice…

As Mo Gu unleashed a torrent of curses at me using orphan words, my suspicions were confirmed - the demise of previous Xinli and his family was indeed connected to this Mo Clan.

Without a care in the world, my inner demon stirred, fueling my hand to move with lightning speed, yearning to deliver a fatal slap to Mo Gu.

Mo Gu, Mo Shi, and the others below the Bone Forging Realm were completely oblivious to my lightning-fast movement. However, Mo Fu, being more perceptive, managed to catch my attack and swiftly grabbed my hand.

But driven by instinct, I tapped into my berserk skill, infusing the Aura of the blade into the tip of my right leg's toe. In a split second, I unleashed a roundhouse kick towards the right side of Mo Fu's skull, pouring every ounce of power and speed into the strike.

Yet, our clash was abruptly halted by a formidable aura that enveloped us, freezing us in that very moment. If not for this intervention, I couldn't say whether it would be my leg that shattered or Mo Fu's skull. One thing was certain - I would have suffered greatly.

"You insolent brats! What the hell do you think you're doing? If you cause any more trouble, I'll break every single one of your legs, understood?" the elder warned, his voice laced with authority as he used a fraction of his aura to restrain us.

'What the fuck? Is this kid fearless or just plain stupid to challenge someone far stronger than him?' I pondered,

He also realized that I possessed more strength than met the eye, as he observed my reckless attempt.

"Sorry elder…. I just did out of thinking as he started to curse me without reason " I offered a quick apology to the elder, bowing slightly in a show of respect.

"Very well, now go on. Avoid causing any further disturbances," the elder dismissed us, returning to his book as if nothing had occurred.

"…"

'Really?' all spectators thought

Casting one more final glance at Mo group …. I started to leave

...,

'Damn it.... Damn it.... Damn it... when did this motherfucker get so strong? If it wasn't for Brother Fu stepping in, my teeth might have been knocked out of my mouth....' Mo Gu cursed inwards angrily… as he clenched his fist tightly, almost to the point of bleeding.

'Wow.... This Xinli is even more formidable than I anticipated.... he didn't even reveal his weakness as he attacked Brother Fu.... someone like him will surely seek revenge.... I'll have to revise my plan once again,' Mo Shi also thought, frustration evident in his tone.

"So, this is the guy you were talking about earlier?" Mo Fu asked Mo Gu and Mo Shi.

"Yes, big brother," they both nodded.

"Interesting," Mo Fu's aura, reminiscent of a fierce tiger, began to surge as he found a new opponent to test his strength against.

"Why are you displaying your aura here?.... if you pull a stunt like this again under my watch.... I'll beat the living hell out of you guys," the elder warned sternly as he continued reading his book.

"…"

"We sincerely apologize," Mo Fu said respectfully.

"Ummm.... Fine," the elder responded nonchalantly.

…..,

'Tsk…. I need to remain calm…. I need to remain calm...' After taking a deep breath, I managed to regain my composure. It's important for me to stay calm and collected in order to handle the situation effectively.

Instead of acting impulsively, I need to be patient and wait for the right opportunity to take action against the Mo clan. Making hasty decisions will only put me at a disadvantage.

For now, I should remain vigilant and focus on improving my skills. I have some contribution points, so why not invest in a cultivation cave? It could be a great opportunity to enhance my abilities.

With excitement in my voice, I whispered to myself about the possibility of breaking through my current skill level. And so, I embarked on my journey towards the cultivation cave.
