Ming Shi was a young man from the Ming family , it was a third rate power which ruled over the Hiening village that existed inside the holy gate sect region, even though in name, it had the same position as the Qiang family from the Donghai village, but truthfully , it was barely holding its position.

The Ming family only have one eight level enlightenment stage and it was their ancestor elder, other than that, the number of people who reached the enlightenment stage didn't exceed twenty five persons. It was the complete opposite of the Qiang family that can become a second class power anytime soon.

Just when it seemed that the Ming family destiny was declining to a fourth class power, Ming Shi was born , from the moment he was born he showed talent compared to that of an inner court disciple of a first class power. When he reached the age of twenty , he broke through to the enlightenment , so his family decided to send him to the holy gate sect , but alike Qiang Feng who was promised to directly enter the inner court disciple selection since his family was willing to spend all his resources on him, not only he had to start from scratch, Ming Shi had to endure the humiliation and the maltreatence coming from other sect members . Three whole years later, not only he entered the inner court, but he established his power there, his cultivation level reached the third layer of the enlightenment which was quite fast .

It seemed like his efforts were finally paying off and things were finally going at his liking, but all of that was shattered when he offended the son of one of the elders, at first it was just a stupid argument but that elder's son started picking on him whenever he get the chance to, he would send people to bully him, steal his spiritual pills and did everything that can harm him indirectly, Ming Shi thought in challenging him several times in a life and death battle , but he always give up on that idea since even if he killed him , and somehow survived the wrath of that elder , his family definitely won't, so his only option was to stay silent.

A few months ago he heard about this ancient site from other members of the sect , it was then when he thought that this was definitely his chance, if he got anything good during this raid he would just make some excuse to not return to the sect, and run away.

It went well for him, the first trial wasn't hard for , he easily passed , the 166 energy stone that he gained were definitely enough for him to stood alone for a while, in the second trial when he heard about the rewards he definitely got greedy, of course he didn't dare to challenge the three geniuses , so he chose to go to one of the arenas, surprisingly things went well for him, he was able to enter the top ten , it all went well until a young man who didn't appear to have even 16 years , appeared out of nowhere and started defeating people, at that time he was on the ninth place, so when that young man rose in ranks , Ming Shi rank fell to the tenth place .

Even so Ming Shi didn't give up and kept fighting for his tenth place, again , it all went well until a new monster appeared , but this time it was on the shape of a beautiful girl , it was the prettiest girl that he ever saw , but who said beauty can't bite, it didn't only bite him, but it threw him out of the top ten, and just like that , 500 energy stone were taken from him.

Surprisingly , even after all of this , Ming Shi still choose to keep fighting and never give up , he thought that maybe a chance will soon arise for him .

Hours passed ,but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't surpass the top ten , when he was just about to give up , he heard someone yelling " Attention everybody, I have another announcement" , surprisingly ,it was that monsterious genius from before who was yelling . After hearing the announcement , an idea suddenly popped out in his head , and it was supposed to be the golden ticket for him to get out of his current situation.

"..."

(The current time.)

"Hah" , a body which was laying on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, "what's happened to me" , he suddenly said. He raised his head just to see a huge board which had several name written on it, and they were ranked from the last to the first, on the fourth place it was Xiao Lan, on the third place Heng An , and in second place it was Li Wei, when he continued to raise his head to see the first place , hie eyes were about to pop out, "How is this possible!!".

"I can still remember what happened" the guy said while scratching his head in pain, " after hearing the announcement from that Qiang Feng , my plan was to make a group with the people of the top hundred who has a lower ranking than me , so that if we win ,I will directly be on the first place , but what happened ??" , the man said , and his hand were pressing on his head , it seemed like he was in total pain, " I can clearly remember that , I teamed up with almost 60 other person , we were the first group to fight Qiang Feng , and just when the fight started haaaaa , my head hurts" the man cried , it seemed like his head was in pain again.

Just after calming down the pain , the man stood up ,when he looked around him he saw all the people that he teamed up with laying close to him.

"Oh ,you woke up " , voice come out from behind him, when the man turned he saw a young man standing behind behind him, that young man was one of the people that he teamed up with , " Hey , you , do you know what happened here " the man said.

"Hah, Ming Shi , did Qiang Feng hit your head so hard that you forget what happened"the young man said, and surprisingly the man was none other than Ming Shi.

"Heh, what do you mean , haaah ,my head hurts" Ming Shi while screaming in pain.

"It's seems that Qiang Feng really hit you so hard" the young man said" look around , you see this almost dead bodies , all of them are like this because they fought Qiang Feng" then he added again while aiming towards the bodies around them .

" Heh , what are you talking about, is this some joke or something?",Ming Shi couldn't believe what he just heard , he and his group were almost 60 person , how could one person in the same cultivation level take them down.

" I know it's hard to believe, i wouldn't believe it myself If I didn't see it with my own eyes, but he really took down our team easily, after seeing this the other two teams fused together, and became one , almost two hundred person went to attack him , at first everyone thought this was Qiang Feng end , but we were wrong , almost none of our attack penetrated his skin, and every time we manage to do so ,his regeneration abilitie would start working and heal him like it was nothing, he seamed unstoppable , like a god of war that was fighting in the battlefield" the young man started talking and didn't stop here and kept describing how the battle went , and each time he mentions Qiang Feng name , a hint of both fear and admiration would appear on his face.

After sometime, the young man finished talking, Ming Shi was still processing the shock ," it seems that I witnessed the birth of a supreme genius , I don't know if I should be sad or happy." Ming Shi said , only after keeping quiet for sometime that he continued," It really doesn't matter for me , after finishing from this ancient site I will take whatever treasure I found , and go to somewhere far from here, and hopefully I will be able to break through to the divine sea stage"

"Oh , I forgot to give you this" the young man said, then he tossed a small bottle towards Ming Shi.

"What is this"Ming Shi asked.

" I don't know, Qiang Feng asked me to give it to you" the young man said.

" What ,Qiang Feng told you give me this? Why?" Ming Shi said , he was surprised , why would Qiang Feng give anything to him.

"I don't know , he gave me two energy stone and in return , I should wait for you to wake up and give that bottle to you" the young man said.

Ming Shi who looked puzzled opened the bottle. Inside the bottle , there was several recovery pill, and five cultivation pills, of course such pills were nothing for the current Qiang Feng, but for Ming Shi , it was a whole month of hard work.

'why would he do this' this was the first question that came to Ming Shi's mind ," Do you know where did he go ",Ming Shi asked the young man, hopefully he will catch up to Qiang Feng and ask him directly.

"Qiang Feng went with the top three to the so called dragon race library, to pick up their rewards, from what the lord dragon said, the next trial will only start after a week, during that time other than fighting , you can do whatever you wants, so I presume that the top three will stay in the library to comprehend the martial arts they choose." the young man said
