The sun set shortly after Feng Jiao collapsed, then rose again, then set, and rose once more. Throughout this entire time, Jiao lay upon the floor of the crag forest fighting off the venom that was wrecking its way through his system.
The grey-banded mamba’s venom was a yin based poison, cold and deadly. As it ravished Feng Jiao’s bloodstream, he did his best to purify it f...

Feng Jiao steadied his weight on his back foot while trusting forward with his spear, hoping against hope to catch the mamba off guard before it managed to collect its wits.
In all fairness, the snake hadn’t yet collected itself and did not dodge the spear that was aimed at its back. Unfortunate...

A few hours later, the sun was at its apex in the sky, signaling the beginning of the youth competition. Many of the children who’d been at the announcement that morning had chosen not to appear for the entrance time, likely dropping out of the competition due to fear of dying to beasts. It was one thing to test one’s mettle against the other kids of their generation and ...

Feng Jiao squinted at the back of Feng Nian as he waltzed away with his friends. From his previous attitude, Jiao was genuinely surprised that the kid had left their quall at that. Most often, the arrogant children who got smacked around would refuse to back down until they had at least one broken tooth. Feng Nian’s withdrawal actually made Feng Jiao feel more concentrated than h...

Feng Jiao’s trip down the mountain was largely uneventful and he made it back to his house in no time at all. His mother, who was hanging laundry to dry in their backyard, was the first one to spot Jiao as he swaggered out of the forest in his torn and decaying clothing. Although she couldn’t sense how strong her son had become, she could tell that he’d gained much from...

A tree trunk exploded into millions of splinters as a young man dodged a massive furred first.

With his locus meridian now opened and connected to his diantan, Feng Jiao was able to increase the speed at which he absorbed the energy of heaven and earth through the acupoints in his legs. He experimentally absorbed the energy through those acupoints and realized that not only was he absorbing faster but he was also refining it to Qi much quicker than before. With his dia...

Feng Jiao watched as the girl’s started their awakening but didn’t really have his heart on the event. After his awakening, he wanted nothing but to commune with his martial spirit.
