"I'm not kidding... Dog-Zhong... Oops! Ma-Zhong"

"Y... You!!!"

Yaaa!!!

Ma-Zhong had lost his patience. Without a second thought, he immediately drew his weapon and pointed it at Zheng-Fu because Zheng-Fu's words so irritated him that he could not stand them. As for Ma-Zhong's underlings, seeing that their young master had acted himself, they immediately changed their faces from shock to grins.

Ma-Zhong's cultivation level was already at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage. With just a little more, he would be able to advance to the Immortal stage. With the support of his Ma Clan, he was able to progress so quickly.

"Sigh... Being in the border town is already good, shouldn't come here to get such an injury at all," Zheng-Fu said indifferently about the fate Ma-Zhong was about to suffer. Even if there were ten or twenty Ma-Zhong, it would be no different.

Anyway, the martial arts level of the Nascent Soul skill could not defeat an Immortal stage person. The distance between the levels was too high. And even more, if that person was Zheng-Fu, it was farther away, like the sky and the abyss. Therefore, there was only one end for Ma-Zhong; defeat for sure.

"Today will be the day of your death, brat!!!" Ma-Zhong shouted fiercely, with a smile that appeared on his face as if he had already won. But suddenly...

Roarrrr!!!

Bang!!!

Booom!!!

Suddenly, a roar rang out as a huge body quickly appeared and slapped Ma-Zhong's body hard, causing his body to bounce back and forth and roll on the ground before stopping.

Augh!!!

"Who... who...di...did... me... me... Aaaaah!!!" A huge mouthful of blood gushed out of Ma-Zhong's mouth before he tried to get up and ask who had hurt him. But as he turned around and asked, his eyes landed on the gigantic figure and found that in front of him was a terrifying beast staring at him.

"H... high-stage monster beast!!!"

Both the underlings and Ma-Lei, who were lying there, were injured. They all exclaimed loudly in shock, seeing a huge beast. And not only the size, but the pressure and the psychic killing were also frightening.

Rooooarrrrrrr!!!

All of Ma-Zhong's people were in a panic deep in their hearts until they were almost unable to move their bodies and legs, even Ma-Zhong himself. Due to being slapped by a large monster beast, he was so severely injured that his limbs were completely numb.

And that large monster beast was Jin-Tian, Zheng-Fu's giant cat. Previously, it had erased the energy and was hiding not so far away. Until receiving a signal from Zheng-Fu, it appeared and slapped Ma-Zhong once.

"What about it, Young Master Ma-Zhong? Will you come in again? If it's not enough, may I get my friend to continue playing with you?" Zheng-Fu asked with a smile, looking at Ma-Zhong.

"Ya… Young… Young Master, Ha… how are we going to..."

"Go back! Hurry up, get me out of this damn place!!!" It was not until Ma-Lei finished asking that Ma-Zhong yelled at his men to rush him out of here in fear.

"Yes, sir, Young Master!!!"

When the underlings heard that, they hurriedly ran towards Ma-Zhong, helping to carry his wounded body up, and hurried away from there immediately. As for Zheng-Fu, he did not think to follow or shut their mouths. If he did so, there would be problems following him for sure.

The Ma Clan was a famous clan that resided in Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country's outpost. If their beloved son did not return, they must have sent someone to look for him. But if he let them go, the complications that followed may or may not have happened because they would not dare tell anyone about this defeat for sure.

With Ma-Zhong's character being arrogant and proud of himself, he would not tell his clan about this incident. And that was already the best choice for Zheng-Fu.

"Sigh... why is there such a mess today? Really a waste of time." Zheng-Fu sighed once more before turning around to look at the four guards. Then he said, "Thank you, everyone, for your hard work. Here's the reward for doing an excellent job." After saying that, Zheng-Fu took out four high-level Qi stones before throwing each of them to the four guards and then walked away.

"Thank you, Young Master!!!"

The four of them immediately bowed and thanked Zheng-Fu with smiling and happy faces because a high-level Qi energy stone would greatly help them advance their level. They might make them enter the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage, which would be a great pleasure.

"I made the right decision to follow the Tian-Tang Clan!" the first guard said with a smile so wide that his mouth was almost tearing up.

"Yes! Although at first, it was a bit difficult, now it's worth it!" the second guard said happily as well.

"Just now, I overheard Young Master complaining that something like this is coming more!" the third guard, who was showing a happy expression, suddenly spoke up. His expression became more serious.

"That's right... I heard that too," the fourth guard immediately added to the third guard because he had heard as well.

"If so, as always, we'll protect this entrance as best as we can. And there'll be no way for anyone to enter it for sure."

"Wouldn't it be troublesome if we wouldn't let anyone in? If Master Dong-Kuang comes back and you won't let him in, won't you be in trouble?"

"I'm talking about people like the ones who have just left!!"

"Oh!!!"

The four of them were chatting happily after the trouble had passed. The four of them also acted rigorously during their shifts. The duty of guarding the entrance gate had four groups of guards. Two groups in the morning, two at night alternately.

Seven days passed quickly, like a rush...

Now, seven days had passed since the two groups of visitors had returned. In the past seven days, nothing had happened at all. It was a very boring seven days for Zheng-Fu, who did nothing but eat, walk, sit, lie down, and repeat it over and over again.

As for Zheng-Fu's cultivation, he had reached the bottleneck once again, causing him to not be able to advance to further levels anymore, even if he had absorbed the energy from the Qi Energy Stone or the elemental spirit stone.

Therefore, there was only one way for him to break through to the next level, which was to have a fierce fight. And for him to fight so fiercely, he had to set off once more. But he still had the burden of the Beyond Earth Sect, and so he still could not go anywhere at this moment, which made him feel very bored.

"Why are you making such a face?" Suddenly, while Zheng-Fu was thinking of things, Qi-Fu-Er's sweet and soft voice rang out.

"It's about my cultivation level. It has reached the point of the bottleneck again. No matter how hard I try, I won't be able to break through to the next step," Zheng-Fu replied, making a sad and bored face like a lethargic dog.

"So it's about that... I understand you well, because, lately, almost nothing has happened. There's no movement of people from the Cult of the Savage Evil or even an invasion of the monster beasts. It makes the feeling of fighting disappear, right?" Qi-Fu-Er understood Zheng-Fu's feelings, which was exactly what she had said.

"Yes, everything is so calm now that I hardly have anything to do. This makes me forget the feeling of fighting. It isn't like when I was still in the Ancient Monster Forest that I always faced many high-level monster beasts. And I had to be careful with myself at all times."

"Even so, you can still have Jin-Tian and me as fighting partners. Should that be able to help you!?"

"It's not the same. You are my family, not enemies or strangers, to be able to fully fight until realizing the sense of death. Besides, the level of the two of you is not an opponent that would allow me to take it seriously," Zheng-Fu said with a bored expression as he thought about practicing with both of them, in which he had to pull his punches.

"So, what are your plans for self-improvement?" Qi-Fu-Er asked with interest; she also wanted to develop herself.

"I'm going to travel to the Aqueous Art Sect. Will you come with…"

"I'll Go!!! I will go with you!" Qi-Fu-Er immediately agreed, with a smile on her face, before Zheng-Fu could finish speaking. This caused Zheng-Fu to frown instantly.

"Then we'll leave tomorrow," But Zheng-Fu did not think much of it. He knew that she would feel bored as well. Every day she stayed only at the residence and did the same thing over and over.

As for the Beyond Earth Sect, after passing the qualifying exam, the disciples all dispersed and trained as usual. What was added was a group of one thousand outer disciples who had just been promoted to a new level. Combined with the old outer disciples, they were exactly one thousand and one hundred. Every new one was at the Golden Core stage.

However, the group of the first hundred outer disciples had an intermediate level of the Golden Core stage and was close to being promoted to the high level.

In the next three months, there would be an examination to promote the outer disciples to be the inner disciples. Those who could be promoted to the inner disciples might be at the ninth level of the Golden Core stage or higher to pass the criteria. And as always, in this exam, there were also the top ten rankings.

Therefore, the first hundred outer disciples would try their best to develop themselves to quickly advance to the ninth level of the Golden Core stage. As for the apprentice disciples who had just been promoted to the outer disciples, they might not be able to develop in time.

Finally, a day had passed...

"Before leaving for the Aqueous Art Sect, we're going to visit the Beyond Earth Sect first. I've got to take the martial arts skill books to Brother Dong-Kuang," Zheng-Fu said as Qi-Fu-Er walked out of the mansion, preparing to leave.

Um...

Having agreed, Zheng-Fu immediately rode on the back of his giant cat along with Qi-Fu-Er. The journey to In-See City was just one jump for Jin-Tian as one jump of it could go a long way when combined with the Body Gesture skill. And the travel to the Aqueous Art Sect was no different.

Jin-Tian simply jumped on and on, and they would arrive there in less than two days. It normally took at least seven to eight days for the horses with monster bloodlines to travel several miles at a time without stopping. And Qun-Qi's group also used the monster bloodline horses to travel as well.
