After giving an interview at the "recruitment" center. Joseph hopes to earn enough money to live the rest of his life in leisure but the question remains, can he? 

---------------

The only novel I am gonna update. 

Inspired by Evil organization recruitment ad (I hope it's the right name.)

Li Yi needed to head to the North Pole Continent in order to hand in his quest, and the two-way journey would require at least an entire day in real-time.
Thus, he decided to go there alone. He would leave Qian'er in Karan City and let her search for her own quests to carry out.
Whenever Li Yi consumed a Morphing Potion, he would take on the form of a hideous-looking lower-class demon. However, when Qian'er consumed it, the appearance her demon form took was highly bewitching. The Demonic Tribe was a weird tribe, as aside from the upper-class demons, every other male demon was ugly beyond measure. Conversely, all female demons were as pretty as flowers.
"Once I depart, make sure to not leave this straw hut within the next two hours," said Li Yi to Qian'er moments before he left.
Initially, Qian'er did not understand the reason behind Li Yi's instruction. It was only until a while later that she would finally be enlightened.
"The Third Prince has been murdered by a bunch of scum! The Third Prince has been murdered by a bunch of scum!"
News of the Seventh Demon God's demise had reached Karan City, and it had incited the fury of the demons. They gathered outside the city gates, forming a battalion of over a million troops. Then, they marched towards the Foreignland Entrance.
Whenever the Seventh Demon God died, and before it respawned, there was a chance that the demons within Karan City would gather together and march towards the Foreignland Entrance to avenge the Seventh Demon God. 
Due to the Seventh Demon God's death, countless players were now swarming into the Sixth Demon God's domain. It had not even crossed their minds that the Demonic Tribe would choose that moment to strike. 
The Demonic Tribe's army was composed of millions upon millions of upper-class demons, and each one of them wielded the strength of a gold-named mini-boss. With that many demons clumped together, not even the combined might of all the players in the Pantheon Continent would stand a chance against them. 
Wherever Karan City's Demon Generals roamed, piles of corpses would follow, and no matter how the players fought back, they were still powerless against them.
The players who had entered the Sixth Demon God's domain early on had managed to evade the massacre. However, those who were leveling up at the Foreignland Entrance were not so lucky. Without exception, every single one of the players there had been wiped out by Karan City's Demon Generals.
Fortunately, Karan City's Demon Generals did not pursue the players to the ends of the earth. Their goal was only to chase the players out of Foreignland, and once their goal was achieved, they stood rooted to the spot, not taking a single step forward.
Outside the Foreignland Entrance, the Three Heroes of Humanity stood guard. Should a fight occur, in theory, the three heroes would definitely be defeated. However, as the three heroes possessed the ultimate, logic-defying skill called Plot Armor, forget millions of demons, they could take on tens of millions of demons and still emerge victorious.
As the millions of demons were still roaming about the Foreignland Entrance, those who had been chased out were temporarily closed off from entering Foreignland; whereas those who were fortunate enough to be in the Sixth Demonic Domain were unaffected by the demons' crusade.
Qian'er was among the lucky ones. She had followed Li Yi's instructions to the letter, and after waiting in the Uninhabited Straw Hut for about two hours, she chugged a Morphing Potion and leisurely walked out.

"Party recruitment for Deathwing! We desperately need a main tank and a healer! We need two more players to complete our 800-men party, message me if you're interested!"
"Party recruitment for Deathwing! We desperately need a main tank and a healer! We need two more players to complete our 800-men party, message me if you're interested!"
"Party recruitment for Deathwing! We desperately need a main tank and a healer! We need two more players to complete our 800-men party, message me if you're interested!"
Just as a massive number of players were being cleared out of Foreignland, Scumbag Wang's shouts appeared in the World Channel.
Scumbag Wang had been going at Deathwing ever since the players had marched into Foreignland to fight the Seventh Demon God. Despite that, they still had not seen the light of victory. After going through their losses and analyzing them, he realized that the problem lied not in his party's composition, but rather, his lack of members.
He was missing a god-like main tank, one that was capable of single-handedly tanking Deathwing.
He was also missing a godly healer, one that was capable of healing over eight-hundred troops in a single moment.
Originally, Scumbag Wang had been shouting in the Alliance Channel. However, he did not receive any response, thus, he decided to ask the entire server instead.
"Party recruitment for Deathwing! We desperately need a main tank and a healer! We need two more players to complete our 800-men party, message me if you're interested! Is there really no one who's brave enough to join? I'm getting really tired of this. With a huge server like this, you'd think that there would be at least an Overpowered character that would answer, right?"
"Party recruitment for Deathwing! We desperately need a main tank and a healer! We need two more players to complete our 800-men party, message me if you're interested! Is there really no one who's brave enough to join? I'm getting really tired of this. With a huge server like this, you'd think that there would be at least an Overpowered character that would answer, right? Hellooo? Is everyone dead??? F*ck!"
After scolding for a few more times, Scumbag Wang stopped.
It was not that he wanted to stop, but rather, he had already spent all of his money. After all, shouting in the World Channel cost money, and the Huashan Sect was many things but rich…
…
When Li Yi arrived at the Invincible Continent, he received a voice message from Hua Feihua. Its contents were basically saying that her cousin, Princess Huaiyu currently had some spare time and she would like to apologize to him at the Sea Island's Trading Center.
"No problem!" replied Li Yi.
When Li Yi arrived at the Sea Island's Trading Center, he spotted Hua Feihua and Princess Huaiyu standing side-by-side. They were waiting for his arrival.
When Hua Feihua noticed Li Yi, she excitedly waved her hands at him and trotted over to his side. She had even grabbed onto Li Yi's hand in an intimate manner. Nevertheless, her actions had only earned Li Yi's disgust as he shrugged her off before heading towards Princess Huaiyu.
Princess Huaiyu bit her lip, and with a pitiful expression, she apologized, "Brother Dark Wing, I shouldn't have cursed you last time. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me."
"It's fine, I've already forgotten everything a long time ago."
Hua Feihua interjected, "See, sis? I already told you, my Lil bro here is pretty forgiving, do you believe me now?"
"Um-hmm." Princess Huaiyu lowered her head in shame and timidly extended her hand to Li Yi. "I hope that we can be friends."
Li Yi flinched for a moment, but he still ended up shaking her hand.
Li Yi had been wondering for quite some time now how Tyrant Sword King the Fifth and Princess Huaiyu had intended to settle their grudge with him. It was for this reason that he had decided to meet up with this lass with a serious princess complex.
However, his expectations were dashed, as the lass with a princess complex did not say anything demeaning at all. She only shook his hand before bashfully hiding behind Hua Feihua.
Had Li Yi not understood Princess Huaiyu's true personality, he would definitely have thought of her as an obedient goodie-two-shoes. However, the image of her lambasting her various boyfriends at the North Pole Continent had already been seared into his mind. 
Li Yi asked, "Is there anything else you wish to do?"
Giggling, Hua Feihua replied, "Nope, all she wants is to apologize to you."
"Oh okay, if there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave."
Li Yi turned around and left, but before doing so, he joked to Hua Feihua, "Scumbag Wang is in need of a healer. Why don't you lend him a hand?"
Without waiting for a reply, Li Yi vanished into thin air.
Once Li Yi left, Princess Huaiyu's smile turned upside down.
"Hua Feihua, can't you do your job properly? What kind of attitude is this? Is he not satisfied with me? Or is he just not bothered enough to care for me? Why did he even come then? He shouldn't have bothered to come if he isn't truly interested."
Hua Feihua chuckled bitterly. "Did you think that it was easy calling him here?"
"I don't care. You'd better put in the effort to keep me on his good side. Otherwise, fufu, you know what I mean…"
Princess Huaiyu fumed as she left.
Hua Feihua, who had her brows scrunched, was now the only left on the Sea Island's seaside.
…
The moment Li Yi left the Sea Island's Trading Center, he immediately headed towards the North Pole Continent. In order to activate the Luo Lan Empire's Hall of Fame Quest, Li Yi had to make the most out of his time.
While Li Yi was rushing towards the Northern Continent, something major occurred within the Pantheon World.
The secret of the Mysterious Scrolls had been discovered, and news of it spread like wildfire.
The Fluttering Snow Alliance had suffered terrible losses. Their Guild Master, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut had lost to Li Yi not once, but twice, and news of her powerlessness had already made rounds across the Pantheon World.
To those within the Fluttering Snow Alliance, the news had brought upon great shame!
However, with pressure came motivation. After a thorough investigation, the secret of the Mysterious Scrolls had come to light. The Fluttering Snow Alliance had finally discovered the reason behind the strength of the Iron Alliance and Windcloud Clan's members.
With that, the Fluttering Snow Alliance's rage had been abated.
After all, there was no shame in losing. However, losing without understanding the reason was embarrassing. Now that they finally understood, their mood greatly improved.
Due to this revelation, however, the price of the Mysterious Scrolls had skyrocketed…
Confused Fox and plenty of others were anxious about the news, but Li Yi, on the other hand, was unperturbed. "Of course, it would rise. Secrets like this were never meant to be kept secret in the first place. Plus, we've already gathered quite a number of those scrolls. So, if we were to compare losses, they would be even worse off."
…
The Fluttering Snow Alliance's Celestial Capital, inside Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut's Mansion.
With two of her slender fingers clamping her little mouth, Bai Xiaoya delivered her post-battle report to Fluttering Snow Purple Chestnut.
"I've finally found the reason for our loss. Dark Wing and his crew have been using Mysterious Scrolls to rapidly increase their Holy Attribute points. Lil Purple, your loss was not unjustified. Your Holy Value is only at 56, but that despicable Dark Wing has over 160 points of Holy Value by my estimates."
The more Bai Xiaoya spoke, the more agitated she got, and her thin, delicate lips were trembling even more strongly.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut shook her head. "Even I could tell that it was due to the difference in our Holy Values, but have you ever considered the outcome even if we were to purchase Mysterious Scroll en-masse now? Do you know how much it would cost us to surpass Li Yi?"
Bai Xiaoya violently gritted her teeth. "I don't care what it takes! As far as I'm concerned, we have never lost a single battle, and the next time we meet, victory will be ours!"
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut groaned, "I don't know why, but I've suddenly lost my confidence…"
"This cannot be! You're my Invincible Goddess of War!" Bai Xiaoya leaped to her feet and stared wide-eyed at Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut.
Bai Xiaoya had known Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut for a long time, and this was the first time she had heard such negativity from her.
Bai Xiaoya harrumphed, "Wait, why didn't you-know-who help you this time? With him there, I'm confident that we would suffer a way smaller defeat!"
"Need I say?"
Bai Xiaoya raised her chin. "Of course!"
"I…I can't bring myself to."
"I don't care what you think, spit it out!" urged Bai Xiaoya.
"He said that he would provide his assistance, but only under one condition. He wanted to use his Quarterstaff to slap your mouth a hundred times."
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut turned around to face Bai Xiaoya. "I didn't have a problem with that, but what about you? Would you have agreed?"
Bai Xiaoya flinched for a moment before breaking into a string of expletives, "F*ck him! F*ck that piece of sh*t scumbag! That good-for-nothing rotten garbage of human society…"
"Kek…" Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was trying hard to stifle her laughter.
"You dare to laugh?! Prepare to get slapped ten thousand times!"
Bai Xiaoya took out her piccolo, and whipped it nastily at Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut…
…


Li Yi once lived the dream of every pro gamer. He was at the top of his game with the best equipment, the highest stats, and everything a gamer could ever hope for. However, he soon realized that none of his ill-gotten gains for his to keep when he was branded Public Enemy Number One and killed in the biggest battle of the ages. 

Now, he has the chance to turn back the clock and return to a time before his first mistake put him on the path of no return. This time, Li Yi will make different choices. With that, comes many interesting encounters — like saving a woman in distress then making love to her seven times in a row while her child slept in the next room. However, will he get back to what truly matters?

One thing is for sure, with the memories retained from his past, he will become King of this game. 

Prince Stephen has already set himself against me I need to to start taking action so I am not just reacting to his attacks that he is planning against me and princess Margaret and I refuse to serve prince Alexander he is too powerful politically I would just become one of many and because of my rank in the empire I would be seen as a servant by the imperial nobility that have already joined his faction and their would try to exert their authority over me so I need to improve the status of the Verde family and princess Margaret.

With that in mind I began to make more deals with those who are close to prince Stephen's allies and the occasional priestess so that I could start building princess Margaret's clergy who have been working in the shadows to recruit other like minded individuals so that I can unseat the gods from the world but all my attention wasn't on the empire I also began to move my forces in the sultanate as I had Shalu guiding them as she was connected with me. 

My plan was to create a civil war placing the blame with prince Stephen while building an image that he was unhinged this would force the other two princes to take action the elves are currently a mess due matters in their own borders and won't be able to interfere while the beast empire won't interfere as it is still trying to stabilize after the war against the empire during this time of chaos and despair I will speed up recruitment for our new faction for those that hate the empire to join the titans and those who want guidance from the divine will be taken by Princess Margaret using her as a beacon of hope while spreading propaganda defaming the gods making them appear as indifferent and exploitative.

As for the Sultanate Shalu was able to recruit Bai Suzhen and Manasa devi unlike the empire I had been accumulating resources for a few years and peddling lies about a powerful great serpent as my patron so others will feel inclined to join my faction using Shalu to act as a servant to said serpent others would feel inclined to serve as she had the power of a great serpent making her master seem all the more intimidating although I said recruitment was to discretion I think she only picked female great serpents because of dangerous fanaticism toward me.

I have waited long enough the world was too quiet for too long its time start some chaos the gods will kneel or they will be broken the empire will be set ablaze for it has grown rank in need of clearing for new growth the sultan and his loyalists shall be swept away and forgotten all his heirs shall be put to the sword and his daughters will join my harem to ensure my claim over the sultanate then I will turn my attention to the elves war is coming and it shall swallow the world.

As soon as the old man revealed that for the comprehension stage of the test, they will have to perform it in front of everyone present, there were mixed reactions from the cultivators.

Some were showing confident and arrogant expressions, such as Prince Cheng and Princess Hui Ying as they already felt an assurance that they would obviously finish first.

Both of them had never experienced setbacks before in their lives and seeing the cultivators present they even held disdain for them, believing that each of them wasn't even fit to be their servants.

In their opinion being present to this recruitment was just a way to demonstrate the difference between them and everyone else, showing the 'geniuses' how mediocre they truly are to 'Supreme Geniuses' like them.

They didn't need to show up to this recruitment gathering as they were basically already accepted to be within the 'Elemental Sect'.

Being within the sect they already found out that they were by far not the best disciples within the Elemental Sect, as there were many 'Supreme geniuses' that looked down upon even them, however, Princess Hui Ying was the most talented female which caused her to catch the eye of these top-level geniuses.

This delighted such an arrogant person like Princess Hui Ying and even made her begin to feel she was the most beautiful and talented woman within the world when she saw the famous woman earlier she hoped to become her disciple, but to her shock, her emotionless gaze didn't even change even when she witnessed her talent.

Upon seeing this caused Princess Hui Ying to be furious, as she never once in her life was looked down upon and was giving everything she wanted, this caused Princess Hui Ying to be spoiled rotten to the core, this made her personality very demanding, to the public she has a sweet-elegant beautiful temperament but in fact she is a jealous individual.

Princess Hui Ying had either ruined the looks, defamed or even murdered other young women which had appearances more beautiful than her as she felt it was unacceptable for someone to be more beautiful than her!

Thus, in conclusion, both Prince Cheng and Princess Hui Ying were two individuals that couldn't accept anyone is more talented than them in such a place which is meant for them to the 'main characters', so why would their egos allow them to have such a thought?

For, everyone else it was a mixture of anxiousness, hopeless or self-confidence within their own abilities.

This task for those which have good comprehension would be a dream come true as to why wouldn't they like to show off their talents to everyone?

However, some with a generally poor comprehension started to feel helpless of the thought of embarrassing themselves to everyone becoming a laughingstock!

As for Dana she still remained stoic, unaffected by the individuals present.

Soon enough, they were each present the same martial skill, an attribute less skill which just requires the sheer comprehension of an individual without factors such as your cultivation talent or even attribute talent, as even those both are important, having good comprehension will help a cultivator in the later stages in which they need to rely more on their comprehension than just their attribute talent alone.

Although attribute talent assists alongside comprehension, this is only for that specific attribute, thus things such as the soul require having a good comprehension.

But, this is only important for an individual in becoming a Nascent Soul Cultivator, which the Elemental Sect doesn't even have a hope of anyone here achieves, thus they place more importance on attribute talent.

Seeing the martial skill, Dana found it was a simple fist technique, soon enough they were each provided a separate place to practice their martial skill individually each.

As many individuals were removed within the first round, leaving the real geniuses remaining which basically are now all guaranteed to entire the Elemental Sect.

These remaining tests mainly factored on how highly valued you will be by the sect, as if you have terrible attribute talent, then you will probably be put in the bottom of the sect, becoming nothing more than a servant for the sect.

This may sound daunting, but for an individual it may appear less so, as even if they become nothing more than a servant, they still get access to the sects facilities, including some lower martial skills and even some resources allocated each month, which is much better conditions than becoming a lone cultivator or joining one of the lower schools.

As a Tier 3 Sect techniques shouldn't be underestimated, even if you were a Top Student within the Skyclad Academy, the worst techniques provided to servants may even be superior.

Not to mention the resources are from a Tier 3 sect, which has much superior Pill refiners making the pills distributed much better than anything the Azure Continent can ever compete with, making the cultivation resources much better, even if it's the lowest quality on what's available!

Comprehending the martial skill was easy for Dana, she soon received a very in depth comprehension behind the martial skill.

Dana will hide much of her true comprehension by majorly downplaying her true abilities on her true mastery of the martial skill.

The old man soon announced that the first three individuals presenting the martial skills will be her alongside the two top geniuses present Prince Cheng and Princess Hui Ying. 

Seeing the cultivators looking at her with sneers, it seems she has been sacrificed to go up with the two most talented individuals? 

As if anyone came up their abilities will look subpar making them be embarrassed in front of the other cultivators present. 

This could cause harmful effects towards a genius making them have a psychological barrier affecting their future cultivation greatly, as they will loss their self-confidence with themselves. 

So her being made to go with them shows how highly they value her...

Looking at the cultivators gazing at her like she is the 'sacrificial lamb' irked Dana, looking at the old man her gaze turned cold, 'thinking I'm a character which is expendable right?' Dana thought with contempt.

She was soon led to the stage alongside both Prince Cheng and Princess Hui Ying, both of them looking at her with disdain obviously believing it was beneath them to stand aside someone with her capabilities.

'Calm down Dana, remain inconspicuous, remain inconspicuous...' She kept thinking, with these many people looking at her it became increasingly harder to keep the pride of the Frost Wyvern from showing...

"Perform your comprehension of the martial skill" The old man ordered.

Dana puts herself in a stance readying to unleash her martial skill...

A woman felt her life didn't have meaning and was missing something, she envisioned a more exciting future in which she had a goal to achieve.

Coincidentally, this came in the form a bolt of lighting which sent her into the newborn body of a spirit beast with True Dragon heritage, into the world of cultivation where the strong eats the weak. Whilst awakening inside an unfamiliar world and body, she was pondering her newfound situation a robotic noise interrupted her thoughts indicating that the beast cultivating system has activated.

Bloodline purity? Legendary bloodlines? Talent?
Her system can provide it all.

Armed with the knowledge of being a race in which is hunted by other beasts for its bloodline or enslaved by other cultivators, she knew the only way to keep safe in this chaotic world is getting stronger.

Maid Lotus came back with Sumeru Mustard Mantra. Though there were explanations beside it, they still found the mantra difficult to practice.
An enormous Sumeru Mountain could be wrapped up into a small mustard seed. The words from the scripture contained Buddhist doctrines and they were obscure. This sentence was the instruction of Internal Strength. It was the first trial of belief. Anyone who tried to practice this mantra needed to pass it first.
To pass the trial, the participant first needed to have faith in Buddhist doctrines. Then, he needed to believe that it contained all the Internal Strength in the world; once the participant mastered it, he would be invincible.
Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus couldn't even pass the first trial. They only had the most superficial knowledge of Buddhist doctrines. And their principles went against Buddhist doctrines.
Maid Lotus brought several scriptures, including Diamond Sutra, Lotus Sutra and Hridaya Sutra. After going through several pages, Gu Shenwei felt a headache coming on. Besides, he thought that Buddha exaggerating, forcing the crowd to believe his words. Besides, he doubted the strength of his will.
"It's impossible that a manual contains all the Internal Strength techniques in the world. Given that, Budda is bragging.
But I can't deny that the power of the kung fu skills in this scripture. Both I and Maid Lotus witnessed amazing divine kung fu that Fayan used. Maid Lotus heard that Sumeru Mustard Mantra is one of the treasures of Four Truths Temple.
In addition, Death Scripture that we trust most has a similar demand on the belief. Most of the content in Sumeru Mustard Mantra doesn't make sense. This book seems to be from an ignorant person who talked nonsense. But as long as one has faith, he or she can practice it more easily; meanwhile, power will increase as well. In this way, many difficulties will disappear." Gu Shenwei mused.
They hadn't made up their mind. But they knew that this manual wouldn't bring any side effects. Fayan hadn't hidden Breaking Obsession in it, aiming to expose Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus to Buddhist doctrines through the practice.
"This monk, who has great faith in Buddhist doctrines, thinks that he can turn killers into good people with several scriptures. It's ridiculous.
Sumeru Mustard Mantra is written for people like me." Gu Shenwei thought to himself.
The two of them tried practicing the basics. After three days, they had to stop due to an insurmountable problem.
Whenever they had practiced divine kung fu of Sumeru Mustard, Internal Breath would generate in their body. This Internal Breath was against Wayless Qigong.
The divine kung fu of Sumeru Mustard owned yang property, but Wayless Qigong had yin property. When two manuals of different properties met, they fought against each other.
Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus knew that the power of this manual would be weakened and the speed of practice would be prolonged without firm belief. But they resolved to practice first. When a bit of Qi gathered in their body, their initial Internal Breath fought against with it fiercely. As a result, the divine kung fu of Sumeru Mustard triggered their Frosty Qi, instead of curing their Qigong Deviation.
Gu Shenwei was attacked by Qigong Deviation first, and Maid Lotus second. Their conditions were not serious, so they recovered after a night. Considering the result of their practice, they feared to practice again.
Since then, their belief towards this manual weakened. Sumeru Mustard Mantra claimed to take in all the Internal Strength in the world. After this experience, they knew Wayless Qigong was an exception.
Just as they were about to give up it, something happened that changed their thoughts.
One day, an eminent monk gave a lecture on Buddhist doctrines. Hearing this, Chu Nanping and Maid Lotus entered the city to attend the lecture. They saw divine kung fu of Sumeru Mustard. The eminent monk thought highly of Chu Nanping. He also said that he had the root of wisdom.
Chu Nanping wasn't interested in the monk's words. All he wanted was to continue the practice of Emotionless Swordsmanship. He had come to attend the monk's lecture under Dragon King's order.
The youth had no faith in Buddhist doctrines. He also took no interest in divine kung fu. To their surprise, he could practice divine kung fu successfully without any side effects.
As Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus were afraid to practice it, they decided to try it on someone else. Gu Shenwei had chosen to teach Chu Nanping part of Wayless Qigong. The Internal Strength Chu Nanping had was similar to Gu Shenwei's. Both of their Internal Strength belonged to yin property. To their surprise, the youth's initial Internal Strength did not conflict Qi caused by divine kung fu of Sumeru Mustard. Instead, two strengths helped each other. As a result, the youth learned divine kung fu at a fast speed.
After they left Joy Pavilion, Dragon King became Chu Nanping's master and friend. It was the first time that he had asked the youth for help in kung fu skills.
Facing his question, Chu Nanping simply replied, "When you practice it, stop thinking. Just follow the instruction in the scripture. Like Secrets of Love, you can easily master it."
It was challenging for them to stop thinking. Dragon King and Maid Lotus were similar in that way. Composed and unreflective as they looked, they never stopped thinking. Even in their sleep, they still kept half wake to meditate. Traps and schemes were always brewing in their mind all the time. For them, putting these thoughts aside meant abandoning the sabers and swords they carried.
"I expected divine kung fu of Sumeru Mustard to improve my Internal Strength. As far as it is concerned, I will meet countless difficulties during the process. Even if I could master it, I have to make great efforts. Besides, it also requires lots of time." Gu Shenwei pondered.
"Spring is on its way, the army of Golden Roc Fort will come soon. Given that, I should set aside the practice on divine kung fu. At this critical moment, I can't afford to take any risks. Besides, I have gotten accustomed to the pain that Frosty Qi brings every two or three months. Under Maid Lotus' protection, I don't need to worry about the enemy's raid. The pain of Frosty Qi doesn't matter." Gu Shenwei pondered.
As for Zhong Heng's recruitment, things went well as expected. Hitherto, he had enrolled over 10,000 new recruits. Dugu Xian trained soldiers at different stages day and night. For swordsmen from the Great Snowmountain, he required them to control their impulse and slow down when attacking the enemy; as for those soldiers from five kingdoms, he commanded them to strictly follow orders and told them that deserters would be beheaded without exception.
After months of training, Dugu Xian gave many compliments to slave soldiers from the Land of Fragrance in front of Dragon King. In his eyes, they followed orders and behaved properly. So he believed that they could become the real combat power.
Hearing his excessive compliments slave soldiers, Gu Shenwei disagreed with what Left General had said. Gu Shenwei told him that these 6,000 to 7,000 slave soldier were used to obeying orders and their performance in the battlefield would prove themselves.
Zhong Heng was in charge of recruitment and supply of army provisions. During the process, he had met many people across the Xiaoyao Lake and collected much information. He sent Dragon King a warning: As they could get land in the Land of Fragrance, soldiers began to accept the upcoming war and get ready for it; but common people still thought that the war had nothing to do with them but was caused by Dragon King.
Except for running the business for Dragon King, Xu Xiaoyi had also been collecting information. He came to the same conclusion as Prime Minister.
The tension of the war permeated the whole Xiaoyao Lake. People living in the city escaped to the countryside, while peasants came to the city to seek shelter. Every family had dug a tunnel in their courtyard and room and they hid food in it. In this way, they could hide in the tunnel to escape soldiers when the war began.
The public outcry did not pose a threat to Dragon King yet. Common people were afraid of Dragon King, his army in particular. They were willing to trade with Dragon army as long as they received reasonable offers at the scene.
Dragon Army's supplies were provided by the Land of Fragrance and Xiaoyao Lake. Once Dragon army got into an unfavorable situation or impasse, they would completely lose support from Xiaoyao Lake. In this way, they could only rely on scanty supplies from the Land of Fragrance, which could barely support 30,000 troops and a large-scale battle. That was Zhong Heng's concern.
"Getting ready for the war goes against winning support from common people, just like Sumeru Mustard Mantra and Wayless Book. I have to choose one.
But as long as I win the war, all the difficulties will get settled." Gu Shenwei pondered.
The soldiers and people from Xiaoyao Lake, even the whole Western Region thought Dragon King would lose the war.
Zhong Heng had spent half a month for recruitment but only got a little over 10,000 soldiers. And most of them never held a sharp weapon. Golden Roc Army across the desert gained 30,000 new recruits. These people were veterans, machetemen and bandits who had experience in fighting. They could join the war with some training.
Now, Golden Roc Fort' troops outnumbered Dragon Army. It had 80,000 troops, while Dragon King only had 30,000.
Dugu Xian complained to Dragon King nearly every day: recruits was progressing slowly, soldiers were in low spirits, they desperately lacked men. Dugu Xian was a down-to-earth general, and he never believed that miracles would work on the battlefield. Though he had read many cases of the smaller and weaker army defeating the larger and stronger army, he either doubted its truth or thought it was the coincidence.
"That's not true. The party with more troops who lost their war usually didn't follow the military rules. As a result, they made fatal mistakes. Their failure was caused by themselves," Dugu Xian insisted.
"The party with fewer troops can work out some plans to lead them to make mistakes," the Dragon King contradicted.
"Haha, Dragon King read too many stories. The schemes mentioned in the book are made up. If I had an elite troop, I would do nothing but move forward according to my plan. What's the point of thinking too much as victory is mine? I know Shangguan Jianyi and he won't be fooled," Dugu Xian said confidently.
Though Gu Shenwei hadn't met that Shangguan Jainyi, he thought that he knew that commander better than Dugu Xian. "Shangguan Jianyi loves taking risks. He wants a full victory. For it, he would be at all costs, even sacrifice many soldiers." Gu Shenwei thought to himself.
Gu Shenwei hadn't figured out a feasible plan yet.
Dugu Xian was a qualified general. "It's my duty to tell Dragon King of the weakness and holes in our plan." Dugu Xian thought. After he walked out of the tent, he became confident instantly. He resolved to enhance morale by all means.
With the war approaching, spies brought lots of intelligence every day. The intelligence suggested that Golden Roc Army in Shuangquan Village would attack in the spring.
Occupied with business, Gu Shenwei set aside divine kung fu that monk left. Now, a message came from the royal palace: Queen had finished chapter 8 in the Wayless Book.
Princess had just finished half of the chapter a couple of days ago. Hearing the news, Gu Shenwei was taken by surprise. "The scripture is difficult to manage because hundreds of books are out of order. Once they're rearranged according to the sequence, it will be easy to sort out the text." Gu Shenwei mused.
Upon hearing the news, Gu Shenwei rode to the city instantly. The last time he had seen the Queen was a month ago.
Princess dressed up to greet Dragon King. Meanwhile, she prepared a good feast for him.
Gu Shenwei had no time to appreciate the Princess' efforts for him. After exchanging small talks with the Princess, Gu Shenwei asked her to show him chapter 8.
Princess was not disappointed for she knew Dragon King was such a person. She slowly took out a pile of papers, scribbled full of words.
Gu Shenwei went through all the papers. "It's chapter 8. There is no mistake.
But the content is incomplete. There is an important part missing." Gu Shenwei thought.
"Is this all?" Gu Shenwei asked with disappointment. "I can practice Wayless Qigong bit by bit based on different chapter. But once a part is missing in one chapter, it's impossible to master it." Gu Shenwei mused.
"No, I still have some," the Princess replied gently with a smile on her face. Now, she resembled a qualified wife. She continued, "I'm ignorant of these scriptures. But I think chapter 9 is also hidden in these books."
"Give it to me now," Gu Shenwei urged in slight excitement.
"Only if you agree to my condition first," the Princess said.
All of a sudden, that shy Princess changed.


Born into a wealthy family, Gu Shenwei was spoiled and carefree. However, at the age of 14, his entire family were brutally murdered, and he was caught by some bandits who sold him into slavery. As a slave boy, he entered Golden Roc Fort by chance and found the man who had slaughtered his family. He endured insults and worked hard to improve his kung fu while working as a slave boy. He learned from and plotted against his enemy under the enemy’s nose. He became increasingly ambitious as he became more and more powerful. He would only be satisfied if he completely destroyed his enemy—by fair means or foul. Gradually his bitter experience turned him into a totally different person. 
This is a kung fu fiction that is full of mysteries and surprises. This is a story dealing with love, betrayals and distances. This is the journey of an ordinary boy who, against all odds, fought against formidable foes. This is a tale regarding a person who felt abandoned by the world made unremitting efforts to create a new world of his own, in which he was alone.

The next morning Bai Shin Lin woke up late. Today she decided not to attend class. They were all exhausted with the practice they had last night. If she could remember, they only slept in the morning with all the practise they had. She also included Xia in her group, although at first he was reluctant but when he knew what they are performing he jump in to her recruitment. Plus, his mood has become lighter ever since, he really like this stuff huh? 
It's like killing two birds in one stone.
Xia, Lengleng and Mei are still asleep when she leave them. 
Her performance doesn't end with them. She needs to recruit the main actors of this event. Kekeke. The taught makes her even more motivated. 
She went to the training ground. Her first recruit would be in there.
The training ground for the soldiers was as usual. Pack with masculine half-naked men. When she take a look over those shining body cause by too much exercise, drool leaves her mouth. 
Those six packed abs!
She's being side-track again. 
Awhile latter, she spotted her main objective on the ground. 
Now then…How she would approach him? Without acting conspicuous?
She went there dress in a servants clothes. Going there bearing the title of a princess would be quiet inappropriate to a princess. She doesn't want to disgrace her father with that.
She was holding a few cups and a light snacks. She delivers their food and watch over a chance to privately capture Han Wu.
She stood there for about a minute then she saw Han Wu walks away from the group. She runs as fast as she can and hide in the bushes. When he walks past her, that's the time she will ambush him.
Bai Shin Lin waited in a bushes and there she spotted him. A distance away from him. Good. 
Just a little more steps. 
Bai Shin Lin was so eager at that she wasn't realized earlier that he was heading towards her way!
Did he saw her when she hide!
If that's the case then it will lessen her trouble of ambushing him.
She patiently waited for him to approach her ….
However few seconds past but she didn't feel any sign of Han Wu.
What she heard next was somewhat a gush of seems like running water nearby! 
Is there a faucet here?
When she turn to look back it was too late to realized!!!
Kyahhhh!!!
Truth to be told, she caught a glimpse of it!!!

The sun was brightly shining. Today was somewhat hotter than compared to the days they were in.
Being a soldier means not neglecting your body fitness and agility. Anytime everyone will be pulled out to battled and need a strength and agility when battling. That is why, every day the soldiers are in training. They can't afford to rust while waiting to be pulled out.
When the servants came, they stop for a while and eat their portion of snacks. After awhile, Han Wu felt that he drank lots of water and felt the nature calling. The men's urinal pit seems to be under reconstruction. 
That's when he decided to find the most secluded and private area.
Upon finding a thick bushes, he decided to do his business there. He unleash his underpants and aim for the bushes. While saving time there, he can contribute to the nourishment of the weeds since he knows that what he waters the plant will become a fertilizer for its growth. He felt satisfaction on his part!
That's when he heard someone squeal, and afterwards he saw someone… His fair and tanned complexion becomes pale and felt that his blood has been drained to his body. He felt he saw a ghost … no it's more than that a ghost, he saw his death before him.
Han Wu immediately closes his pants and face the cause if his demise.
If words come out, he will be beheaded.
The Prince's fiancée was curling herself beside the tree while her hands are fully covered in her face. Yet he could definitely know her even though she was wearing a servants clothes.
"Mi-milady…." Han Wu doesn't know how to approach her. "D-did y-you saw something?" even if it is awkward and inappropriate he needs to know. His life depends on the information that he could get from her.
"Bai Shin Lin who was feeling embarrass with the incident don't know how to face him. The situation is outrageous that somehow she doesn't want to see him in his entire life.
Truth to be told, she really didn't see the full thing. It's just that her eyes immediately went blur that moment it laid on it. She felt lucky for that. She owe that to her super sharp instinct.
After a minute, she tried to clasp her hands. Han Wu would be in trouble if her mouth will spout misleading words. She just need speak fewer words not to embarrass him.
 "D-did y-you saw something?" she heard him spoke.
"… Nnn-o, my brain shutdown immediately upon sensing the impending calamity" upon hearing, she heard him sigh. As if a whole mountain has been lifted on his chest
They were rendered speechless for a moment.

"Let's forget about that!!!"
"yes" he chimed in.
Han Wu go with her suggestion and their topic changes with her recruitment on him.
Upon hearing, he was reluctant. He was never been on stage and he will just shame her performance. However, she was still insisting. She said that she will take care of it. Whatever the result. 
"I can't afford to take an absent. The general will grill me if he can't find me here." Bai Shin Lin fully know. That the general that he was speaking was his father. 
"I'll take care of that also" She said in full confidence. 
Han Wu pause and thinks for a while.
"I just really need you to say yes, please…?"Bai Shin Lin offer her most sincerely sparkling eyes. 
eehhhh. Han Wu was taken aback. If the commander saw this, he knows he will immediately be targeted on the spot.
{Princess, I really like to live long…please don't do that please?} 
This princess would take almost half of his life if he continues to be with her.

[ The cold and domineering aura]
[Calm and gentle personality]
[Girl of the group]
[Child-Like Immature character]

The typical-timid out of this world Bai Shin Lin has transverse to a parallel historical world and the first thing that comes to her mind was to form her own boygroup. 
"why not create my own boyband! This world is as good  as half dead without the lively music and awesome dance steps" upon declaring and realizing that it's not that easy, she struggles as to recruit her own members and to find the right tune of this world full of treachery and malice.

Previously titled ( princess prestige: boyband in another world)

Days have passed since Samael has decided on his combat arts and started to include them in his practice. During the past days, Julian Clyde, the Princess' fiancee came twice and had spar with Samael. 

This allowed Samael to consolidate his training and find more flaws during the heat of battle as he could test the moves against a proper opponent. He didn't include and elemental attacks during the spar, he wanted to first build a stable foundation before starting to assimilate his elemental attacks. 

Because his opponent was stronger and was well-versed in fighting with a weapon, Samael lost to Julian twice but it didn't matter to him. He took it as a lesson to further better himself. 

Also, he hadn't been able to meet with the Princess during the past few days, she seemed to be busy. 

Today, Samael has just finished his daily spear routine and took a break. He has already been at it since the sun rose from the horizon and he was always like this everyday. The maids and guards of the palace had long been accustomed to his early practice. 

As he walked towards the Castle entrance, Samael saw two maids standing with a tray of water and towel. They were two young ladies who were not bad and were quite attractive. One had a twirly twintails and the other had long hair flowing down her back. 

"Young master, here. Please use this." the twin-tailed girl shyly said, presenting the towel. 

"Thanks. Hey, what's your name?" Samael took the towel and as he wiped himself he got curious.

"Uh, me?" The twin-tailed girl pointed at herself.

Samael laughed and said. "Yes, you." 

"Oh, I'm Katie." She said. 

Samael nodded and looked towards the long-haired girl, "You?" 

The Long-haired girl lightly smiled and bowed with her answer "I'm Natasha." 

"Ohh..." Samael nodded. 

Katie had that cute and petite body type but she had a large rack and an adorable face to boot. Meanwhile Natasha had the tall and slender body type, her breast were ample as well but Katie has her beat. Her charm lies in her aloof and calm demeanor. 

"Nice to meet you, both. Alright, thank you two for the towel and water. I'll go and resume my training." With that, Samael waved his hand at them as he walked back to the training area. 

The two maids stayed there for a while and they had different reaction. Natasha barely had any reaction at all but her eyes contained a trace of surprise and admiration. While Katie was blushing and the infatuation could clearly be seen from her eyes. 

"You're drooling, you know?" Suddenly she was shaken back by that. 

"What? No I'm not!" Katie wiped her mouth and saw that there was no drool on them, she glared at Natasha. 

Seeing Katie's blushing red and glaring at her, she laughed as she opened the Castle entrance. "Come on, we have other jobs to do. You can see your prince charming later." 

"Humph, as if you're not interested in him either. I saw you yesterday you know, you were staring at him for the whole duration of his practice as if you had stars in your eyes." walking inside, Katie blushed even further, she crossed her hands then she sneakily smiled at Natasha. 

Natasha's reaction was not as one would expect. She actually stopped in her tracks and blushed but it was only for a moment. She then said "No i was not. What else would i look at if i was station to serve the young master yesterday? He spent most of his time at the courtyard anyway, yeah, that's it." 

But Katie didn't bought it, she rolled her eyes "Yeah, sure. Whatever you say." 

...

Back at the courtyard. 

Hu! 

Samael thrust his spear with one arm before drawing it back and doing a full swing with both arms, slamming the wooden spear on the guard. Like this, he executed moves after moves that were in the "Orion's Luminous Spear"

"Your Spear form is looking better since the last time i saw it." 

"Julian!" His practice was interrupted when he heard someone, when he turned to look at who it was. It was actually Julian. 

Samael wiped his forehead and said. "Aren't you too early? Isn't our appointment tomorrow?" 

Julian warily smiled and scratched his head "Yeah...about that. Ugh, how should i explain this?" 

"He won't be able to come tomorrow." Then a attractive female voice drifted over. 

"Sis Lina." Samael said. That's how he's been calling her after a few days of living in the castle and the two have grown accustomed to it. 

"He'll be with me to attend to the officials that would come and facilitate the Academy's recruitment." She said. 

Julian had already taken off his Formal clothes and underneath were his training clothes. "Exactly, so i came to have an early spar. Taste my blade!" and then he suddenly rushed forward with a stab. 

"Ha-ha! Good, let's do this." Samael laughed and picked up his spear, he twirled it around his body and charged forward again. 

The Princess found a place not far from their battle and sat there, observing the two men that were as precious to her as family. She suddenly blushed as she thought if this is how it felt like to have her own family. 

While the Princess was lost in her own fantasies, Samael and Julian were having a fierce battle. 

"Ha!" Samael blocked Julian's flurry of sword stabs and countered with a fierce stab of his own. 

Julian saw the incoming stab which was so fast that he barely had time to react. The wooden spear lightly graze his neck and drew blood. He traced his neck and saw the blood coming out and with a smile, he charged at Samael with more ferocity than earlier. 

"Blaze Lion's Claw!" suddenly Julian used a killing move from his combat martial path. 

"Julian!" The Princess was jolted back as she felt the intense fluctuation of energy essence coming from the battle and she saw her Fiancee using a killing move imbued with energy essence. 

"Got mad, eh? Fine, let me try my own move as well!" 

Samael gripped his spear hard with his right hand and drew it back. His feet dug deep into the ground from the force he was going to exert. Energy essence rolled out of his body and flowed from his body, into his arms and finally coiling around the wooden spear. Samael put out his left hand and with a swift movement he spun his body and slammed down his spear!

Orion's Luminous Spear: Dusk!

The Spear was like the dark of the night, swiftly enveloping the world in darkness once the sun sets. 

Their two moves clashed and created an explosion that sent one figure flying and only one stood victorious on the spot where they clashed. As usual, Samael was blown off and Julian stood victorious. This was because of the difference of their cultivation and the amount of Energy essence that they can put into their attack. 

"Ugh...damn. The bastard didn't held back." Samael laid on the ground, groaning. 

He then heard footsteps and heard a mocking voice. "You okay punk?" It was Julian, he came over wearing a mocking smile on his face. 

"Bastard, you didn't held back at all!" Samael fumed. 

"You didn't either, right? and still you lost!" Julian laughed. 

Samael gritted his teeth and swore that once he has sufficient strength he would repay this humiliation two-fold. 

"Alright break it up. Sheesh, don't you two get tired bickering all the time?" right on cue, Princess Lina walked in to stop the two from arguing even further. 

"He started it." 

"He started it." 

The two spoke the same thing at the same time and this sparked their argument once again. The princess felt her head hurt then she said "Seriously, you two are acting like kids." 

It took her a while to pacify the two before turning to Samael. 

"Hey, turns out you're becoming famous. I heard some maids talking about you the palace. Who knew you were such a lady-killer?" The princess purposely added some mocking tone in that last sentence. 

"Well don't they have good eyes for recognizing such an outstanding man like me?" Samael shrugged his shoulders with a smile. 

"Ha-ha, someone's full of himself." Julian laughed. 

"Humph." Samael scoffed at his but no harm was intended and Julian was well aware of this too. 

The princess laughed seeing the two interact and then she asked Samael. 

"The Academy recruitment will start 3 days from now and there are 3 test in total, how confident are you?" 
 
Samael was a bit lost, he don't know the average strength on cultivators who were a few years younger than them and if he were to assume that they were on the same level as Princess Lina and Julian would be an overstatement. In the end, he could only do as much as he can to prepare and do his best. 

"Yeah, i think so." 

"Be careful though. There will be a lot of noble children coming to take a shot, i doubt that very few of them would make scene. If they do and you're involve...try not to kill them." Princess Lina warily smiled as she could almost see the catastrophe if that ever happened. 

"Hahaha, yeah. Try not to or else their clan's old geezers would bother Lina's father and riddle him with complaints. Some may even try to kill you." Julian added but he turned serious in the end. 

"Alright Sis Lina, i promise not to kill the little shits but i can't promise i won't break a bone or two though." Samael smiled at them but deep inside his pride burned "Let them try." 

In three days, Samael would finally take his first huge step in his quest.

Fallen from the highest realm...Betrayed
My entire clan, my parents...killed
Killed by those treacherous bastards...

I swore an oath, that i would have my revenge.

I will not stop till i bathe their entire cities in their own blood...

That is the best i can do to honor my Family name...Bloodfallen

"Mom... I'm gonna get going. Wish me luck for the recruitment test."
.
.
"Alright.. do your best and make our family proud."
.
.
Zain spoke to his mother Melur while walking down the stairs of his wooden, pointy rooftop house. 
.
.
I hope today will be the day that I'm finally got a chance to see her. I have prepared myself mentally and physically to pass this test to be recruited to become hulubalang (general term for palace guard) and hopefully I can always watch her everyday. Even if i'm just a lowly farmer son, and you with a noble, no.. the noblest bloodline, only just watching you will make me achieved my life goal. <What a pervert MC>. 
.
.
The girl Zain thought about is none other than the The Princess Delimawati. The only daughter of The Sultan.
.
.
.
"Ok.. lets get going."
"Zana!!! where is my spear and armor?"
.
.
"How the heck am I supposed to know where you put it you retard!"
said Zana, Zain's little sister while holding a wooden sword knocking a dummy bag practicing her passive skill [Sword Mastery lv.1].
.
.
"Hahaha.. I'm just kidding. Watch your mouth Zana. Do you not love your brother? And why with the sword? You girls should learn the cooking skill so that men can approach you. With that sword, hmmm.... I don't know.."
.
.
"Shut up and go stand in front of the mirror you loser. To think that you can marry the princess. Hahahahahahahaa... anyway goodluck bro. I love you and do your best."
.
.
I chuckles a bit and wave my hand to her while smiling. What a weird little sister I have.
.
.
 
On my way to the Palace..
.
"Ok.. Karma check."

A hologram of interface appeared infront of me showing my status and equipment details.

Tavern
_____

"Cheers!"

A cheer between a young man and a bold old man was well, quite weird. Although it doesn't deny the fact that it is still a celebration. 

It was obviously Emyrs and Garen who was drinking beer and celebrating after updating their adventurers' card, by the way Alice was sipping a mug(no glass, just wood) of juice.

Garen: So Emyrs, seeing you are new here have you ever heard about the dungeons before? It is the paradise for money making. However, only high risk comes high return right? Dungeons are very dangerous because monsters are crammed into a small floor, that is why you need to be careful not to be cornered or else (pause, does a slicing motion on his neck) your dead-

Emyrs: (smiled) I'm interested in it.

Garen: HAHA, everyone is interested in it, it's a good source money after all.

Emyrs: (leaned closer) Tell me more about it.

Garen: (explained) You see, dungeons are really special... It's going to be a long one...(Author:  !!! NANI?!!)

Garen started to explain in a really boring way, he added things like his personal life to the explanation, no, he basically talked about this entire life experience from the moment he was born to the present. Emyrs was already asleep when he finished! (Just get to the point old man!)

Here is a quick summary of the common laws of dungeons!
____________________________

Dungeons are a network of many floor that contains different monsters on different floors. 

The monsters in the dungeons can respawn given enough time unlike their cousin outside of dungeons that uses reproduction to keep their race going. 

Monsters in the dungeons when killed vanishes and drops loot. The loot that the monster drops correspond to what loot and the fixed chance that the monster could drop (including luck on stats).

Every 10 floors there are a boss level.

Monsters would disappear if they are not on the floor they are meant to be in.

The dungeon walls can't be destroyed or harmed in anyway and anything that is not a drop from the monster can't be taken out of the floor itself or it would vanish.
____________________________________________________

Emyrs: (just woken up, carrying the still asleep Alice in a princess carry) Well then, see you later! Bye!

Garen: -and that is how I got a divorce with my wife. Eh? (looking around, confused) Where did they go?

Adventure's guild
______________

Emyrs walked into the "adventure's guild" dragging the just woken up Alice, who was latching onto Emyrs' arm. That was definitely attracting the attention of a lot of old perverts out there.

Eva: (politely) How may I help you sir? 
Emyrs: I would like to dive in a dungeon, do you have any dungeons to recommend?

Eva: I would recommend you to explore the "Bacon" dungeon, it is a C rank dungeon.However you would need a team of 4 to dive into any dungeon.

Emyrs: (speechless) What the heck is wrong with that name... Then there is a problem... How are we supposed to get more team members?

Eva: You could recruit for more members at the recruitment board beside the notice board. (handed over a sheet of paper)

Emyrs filled up the form.

Recruitment
__________
Race: Any
Level: 30 ~ 60
Rank: C ~ A
Class: Any 
Occupation: Any
__________

Classes are different from occupation. Classes basically gives others an overview of what kind of common weapon, abilities and armor you use. For example: wizard, a mage that uses a staff to support them in area of effect magic, they wear a robe and has horrible mobility; thus, needs a shield class to tank damage for them for maximum effect. 

On the other hand, occupation tells others what jobs and ability you specializes in. For example: Ice wizard, it tells others that you specializes in ice magic, you can freeze enemies and you are good against fire element monsters; thus, you are more likely to be chose to a team who wants to deal with a fire element monsters, especially bosses.

After placing 2 of this forms up in the recruitment board, they went back to the tavern to relax.

And now...

the waiting game...

End...

Emyrs, a 17 year old boy, was summoned into the unknown world called Eceth. He found himself as the last god of the god race and he has been lying dormant since the mysterious end of the era of gods. He sets himself to enjoy the world he is in and that is through traveling and sightseeing the wonders of the world of Eceth. He mets new companions and annoying "flies" on the way. Read how he as a god, travels around the world with his lovely companion and saving people along the way.

This was my first ever novel, therefore it is not be professional but is very flexible.

It wasn't just the Coiling Dragon City that was in an uproar. Even the whole Endless Forces Continent were able to find out about the startling news. 

News about the recruitment of a sect called {Eternal Glory Sect} agitated everyone as they wished they themselves could participate in the trial that's about to take place for the recruitment.

The reason that everyone treated this matter of utter importance is that of the news that the Lin Family released.

The sect is indeed newly created, however, the sect master of the {Eternal Glory Sect} is a monstrous young genius who hailed from the mighty Transcendent Divine Continent. The sect master also has a disciple who originates from a Peak Powerhouse Empire in the Divine Continent!

From the Divine Continent and one of the strongest influences at that!

And there's also another shocking news which once again, sent the city on clamor.

Fairy Lin, from the Supreme Lin Family, and one of the peak geniuses of the Endless Forces, surprisingly joined the mysterious {Eternal Glory Sect}!

This amazed everyone since Lin Hui Yin is considered one of the Peak geniuses of the Endless Forces Continent! This then made everyone in the city to also want to join the newly created mysterious sect.

However, they were all dejected when they heard that the {Eternal Glory Sect} would only accept 4 disciples, and they also have to be below 14 years old at that.

This indeed left everyone in dismay, however, they still wanted to see how the sect would test the examinees and since everyone's invited to watch the trial, they all prepared to set out for the specific location.

Later, in an immense field owned by the Lin Family. 

Countless people were already gathered at this place as they wanted to watch the recruitment test, even if they couldn't participate.

There were children at the age below 14 which were obviously the ones that wanted to participate in the trial. Some of them curiously looked around, some were nervous and shaking while some had a fierce and competitive look on their faces.

These young ones were the budding elites of their respective families or sects and the powers behind them, obviously wanted to tie a connection between them and the Eternal Glory Sect.

However, be it the spectators or the examinees, they were all discussing one thing.

"Hey, there's nothing in this place, how is the Eternal Glory Sect going to test the participants?" asked a young man.

"I don't know but the Lin Family obviously won't be bored enough to make up a lie about this recruitment..." someone else replied.

"But we've been waiting here for an hour now, what are they exactly doing!"

"Hey, there's actually so many young geniuses that are gonna to participate in this huh?" a middle-aged man said as he looked around with astonishment.

"I bet that this' all a farce and that we're all wasting our time here for nothing." said an arrogant brawny man.

"Let's just hope that the mysterious sect master and Fairy Lin comes soon." 

And just as everyone was starting to complain, Tian Long and the others appeared.

"Oh, is that Fairy Lin, her reputation as one of the most beautif... Oh my god! Look at that young man!" the young man didn't even finish his words as he suddenly yelled loudly.

"That face... How could such a face even exist?! It's impossible!" said a handsome young man indignantly as he looked at Tian Long's godly appearance.

"How could the heavens be unfair?! Why can't I have 5% of that face!" cried out a desperate young man as he clenched his fists towards the sky.

"Gaah! My eyes!!!" cried a muscular man as he exaggeratedly covered his eyes.

"You're straight, definitely straight! Stop looking at his face!" muttered a young man quietly.

Meanwhile, the women's reaction,

"Please tell me he's not married..." fanatically said a young princess.

"I... I think I'm in lo..." said a young woman before she fainted.

"I will definitely do anything just to obtain that young man." said a noble mature lady fiercely.

"Is it just me or is it getting hot in here?" exclaimed an aristocrat princess as she fanned herself.

"Such an ideal and perfect man..." sighed a young maiden.

The men despised and cursed Tian Long while the women looked at him as if he was a prey that they must hunt.

...

The preparation was basically finished as the only thing missing was the trial ground itself. Jian Chen looked at Tian Long and curiously asked. "Master, how are you going to give them a test exactly?"

Lin Hui Yin, Lin Zhou, and the others perked their ears as well since they were also wondering how he was going to do this.

Tian Long chuckled lightly. "Well, it is time to show you all I guess. Could you all please move back far away and clear some space?!" he hollered

Everyone in the area looked at each other and started backing away as they wondered what this fellow was up to. Eventually, an immensely wide space was cleared.

A few seconds later, Tian Long nodded and raised his hand. "Alright, that's enough. Watch this!"

He then waved his sleeve as a colossal stairway suddenly appeared out of nowhere into the massive open space. 

*BOOM*

A majestic and immortal-like scene descended upon the eyes of everyone present.

Both the participants and spectators immediately halted their complaints and turned quiet.

Everyone was shocked speechless as their jaws dropped upon witnessing the appearance of the stairway.

The stairway looked as if it was from the kingdom of heavens itself as it towered up in the sky and bore an exalted and majestic aura which almost made everyone present kneel with reverence.

The strong cultivators barely resisted with red faces while the weaker ones were already about to kneel as they had ashen faces.

Compared to the gigantic stairway in front of them, they were like a speck of dust as they looked at it with awe and dread.

It couldn't be helped since this kind of thing is outside their scope of comprehension.

'Heh, even those old monsters from the Transcendent Divine Continent won't be able to identify the grade of this stairway since the number of Divine Grade treasures of this world could be counted in two or three hands. Only Peak True Gods and above could identify this stairway and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to do anything since its bound on me.' laughed Tian Long in his thoughts.

Suddenly, Tian Long appeared at the front of the first step and loudly said. "The {Glorious Celestial Stairway}, an ancient relic of immemorial times, will be the trial ground of the examinees."

As everyone was still under an immense shock and awe, they couldn't respond to Tian Long's words.

He simply smiled and continued on. "The stairway has a total of a hundred thousand steps, and the one's climbing shall experience a terrifying pressure which shall vary depending on their cultivation level."

After a while, they then recovered and started to listen.

"The Celestial Stairway will test one's martial heart and will which is of utter importance while talent and potential are secondary! I do not care if you are a one-in-a-thousand or even a hundred thousand genius, the Eternal Glory Sect shall only accept those with an unwavering martial heart and perseverance!" He said with an overbearing and majestic air.

Those with lower and inferior backgrounds clenched their fists while their blood boiled with excitement when they heard those words.

What an amazing sect! Unlike a normal sect which focuses heavily on disciples with amazing talent and background while treating those inferior ones as trash, this Eternal Glory Sect emphasizes the martial heart instead.

Even those with higher ranked cultivation were filled with blazing passion when they heard Tian Long's speech. It was as if they were back in time as a hot-blooded youth, filled with rashness, pride, and competitiveness.

Even those that knew Tian Long was surprised and were filled with admiration as they looked at him. Jian Chen and Lin Hui Yin had sparks in their eyes as they heard those powerful words.

70% of the strong cultivators of the world had started with an ordinary or inferior background and talent, yet they had stepped on the bones of those so-called geniuses as they rose from the masses and became an elite expert of their own.

Tian Long's speech reminded them of that wonderful feeling as his words restored their fighting spirit and boldness unto the path of martial arts and cultivation.

After saying those words, Tian Long then returned to his indifferent expression. "One will be sent out of the stairway if he or she can't hold on anymore. Out of all of you that are participating, only the last four standing shall be picked as disciples of the Eternal Glory Sect."

The participants had a solemn and serious expression as they looked at each other with competitive eyes.

Tian Long liked that competitive spirit as he chuckled. "Oh and one last thing, as thanks to everyone that are participating today. Climbing the Celestial Stairway will slightly increase one's physique and talent, take this as a gift from me."

WHAT?!!

Such things were possible? Thought everyone.

The spectators looked at the participants with envious eyes while the participants couldn't wait to climb that magical stairway.
