There were only four thundering eruptions that signaled yet again another breakthrough for our bored gamer.

And with these consecutive rise of power, the expressions of shock on the faces of the audience around him could not have been more obvious than the present moment.

​​

To say that Young Master Clark was a prodigy of the ages would be a great understatement right now!

'So this is how a future True Immortal cultivates?! We are mere ants in comparison to this kind of speed in cultivating!'

Elder Chang Tu left the word unspoken as he laid witness to the birth of a miracle right before his very eyes.

"CRACK!"

"CRACK!"

"CRACK!" Our bored protagonist rolled his head from left to right and the muscles on his neck gave off a few resulting snaps from the deliberate action.

When he opened his eyes in the next breath, he could see once more for the umpteenth time today the stunned and almost scared looks that everyone was giving him.

"Hmmm... It's unfortunate that the spirit stones inside the ring were lacking for this day's event.

If it had been enough then there would have been no doubt that I would have already broken into Foundation Establishment Realm in one go. Tsk. Tsk. But it's okay.

This much turtle speed of cultivating is barely acceptable for someone like me." Clark sighed deeply and stood from his lotus position.

He could feel the new strength that he was exuding and it was good to be admired for his capabilities.

Although it was nothing more but a facade inside this Demonic Sword Sect, that did not mean at all that he would halt his level at this point.

Our good gamer has nothing left to do especially now that he already got what he came here for. And that reason was Tang Xinyue of course.

"Do you have more spirit stones on you, Elder Chang Tu?" Clark asked and there was a greedy smile on his face.

He appeared unlike a kind obedient disciple but more of a great swindler instead.

"That... I – I have no spirit stones with me, Young Master Clark. But let me see what i can do later on.

I will ask Elder Tan Hai and perhaps he can supply even more resources towards your way soon." Elder Chang Tu wiped his brow as the sweat began to pour from them.

The vision from earlier was still fresh on his mind especially of our boy protagonist eating the hard and raw storage ring into his mouth.

This little clue alone has given every expert eyes of the scene with much room for deduction. Young Master Clark could refine matter into spiritual essence!

Although this was mere conjecture at the moment but the huge implication of this was simply incalculable!

"I see. That's a pity indeed. But you don't have to worry, Elder Chang Tu.

I believe that with my performance today, the good Sect Master of the Demonic Sword Sect would have no choice but to grant me some added bonus for my innate excellence.

I could already smell the fragrance of millions upon millions of spirit stones coming my way. All i have to do is wait." Clark said and he had fully expected a fast reply from anyone in the scene.

Alas, all he got was a deafening silence from his efforts. This was true for some precious breaths before one brave soul chose to burst our bored gamer's bubble.

"HA! You must be dreaming, Lu Chen! Everyone knows that the Sect Master is on the brink of a critical breakthrough in his cultivation.

He would not go out from his closed door practice nor would he even send you any more spirit stones.

In fact, I suspect that the spirit stones you received earlier were from Elder Tan Hai's own pocket and not a single piece of it has come from the faction of the Sect Master!"

It was of course Tang Xinyue again who defied the extreme bluster of our bored gamer.

"Enough, Inner Disciple Tang Xinyue! Leave the sect politics out of your words. Those are not meant for just anyone else's ears!" Elder Feng Ren admonished in a loud voice.

His eyes roamed on the few servant women in Elder Chang Tu's employ and he did not like it one bit that his beloved sect would appear so divided in this way.

"I apologize, Elder Feng Ren." Tang Xinyue bowed slightly as she knew that it was her mistake also.

Even if she did not like the old man but that did not follow that she has lost all respect for the temperamental Elder.

"Why are you calling Young Master Clark as Lu Chen?" Elder Feng Ren nodded that showed well enough that he accepted Tang Xinyue's apology already.

He then asked this particular question which also reflected his curiosity on the matter.

"That man is called Lu Chen, Elder Feng Ren. At least, once upon a time, I knew him as Lu Chen." Tang Xinyue replied and could not help but look towards our good gamer's way.

Her lovely countenance softened for a while as she recalled the good things that had passed between them many many years ago and she did not even notice this unconscious act of hers.

That was until Clark smiled at her which broke the spell in consequence. The face of hatred had resurfaced once more and Clark could really not blame his ex fiancee also.

Lu Chen had indeed done some nasty things to Tang Xinyue in the past.

"It seems that you will be mistaken once again, Xinyue. I had proven myself already that I am not anymore the waste that you knew from before. I have changed Xinyue and so did you."

Clark appraised the gorgeous woman in white and he would be lying indeed if he were to say that he was disappointed with what he was looking at.

Tang Xinyue even appeared more enchanting than her young immature self 80 years ago.

"Do you like what you see, Lu Chen?" Tang Xinyue asked and it was a great shock for all the others around her that she has altered her tone all of a sudden.

Gone was the biting coldness of her words and what replaced them was instead the voice of a seasoned seductress.

The sexy woman even had the guts to lean forward in order to present the hidden huge treasures on her chest that were covered with a fairy white dress at this time.

She looked so attractive and was so ripe for the picking already that almost every male in her vicinity could not help but gulp in awe of this provocative behavior.

They have not at all expected to see this passionate side to come particularly at someone who had the title of The White Haired Demon.

"Indeed, I do. I like very much what I see, Xinyue. Would you dare to show me more?"

Clark grinned and his words were delivered in nonchalance that denoted quite easily that he was still unfazed in front of such an exquisite temptress.

"Hmmmp! You're still the same disgusting person i know, Lu Chen!"

Since Tang Xinyue's plan backfired, she could only cover her shame with yet another unreasonable outburst into the fray.

This was not in vain though because the infamous lady of the Demonic Sword Sect has found not a few friends around her.

'Women! They are really unfathomable creatures!' Our bored gamer concluded as he braved the sharp glances and looks of persecution from the servant women of Elder Chang Tu.

He could have cried bias right then and there but decided to go against this impulse in the end.

'Dealing with them will just waste my time. No fun at all!' Clark shook his head and walked away without another word spoken.

"Where are you going, Young Master Clark?! You still have to train!" Elder Feng Ren's voice followed the slowly walking figure of our bored gamer.

If before, his good brother Feng Lin was the one who accommodated and entertained the whims of our protagonist when he arrived, their roles have drastically changed right now.

Feng Ren could see the bright future of the Demonic Sword Sect in Young Master Clark's advent and he would do anything to keep him in line.

This suited Elder Feng Lin quite well also as he returned to what he had always been. A silent observer in the myriad possibilities of life.

"I'm tired, Uncle Ren. I have already cultivated to the 9th Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm. This is good enough for today.

When the Sect Master comes to bring me gifts tomorrow, I will cultivate once more and achieve breakthroughs in leaps and bounds. End of story."

"A brilliant man like me is really destined to walk the solitary path of the endless Grand Dao."

"SIGH!"

"What a lonely lonely view it is to stand at the peak." Our bored gamer shook his head and continued walking without taking one single look behind him.

"You c..." Elder Feng Ren tried to call Young Master Clark again but this time he was not as successful as the first.

"Let him be, Feng Ren." Elder Feng Ren's brother, Feng Lin, said softly on the side.

"But br..." Feng Ren wanted to object once more but was mercilessly cut off for the second time in a row.

"As i said earlier... Young Master Clark's path is not something that we can follow nor can we comprehend in full what is good and bad for him."

Feng Lin muttered and paused to look at the crowd that marched behind our bored gamer. Lai Peng was there and so did Wan Fei and all the rest.

A few breaths passed before Feng Lin looked at his brother Feng Ren and smiled warmly.

"Let's try again tomorrow, shall we?"

"Okay, brother."
