In the big training room...

"All right, I'll pass on the martial arts technique to you first and explain it later," Zheng-Fu said as soon as they arrived in the training room. He turned to the two brothers and used his index fingers to touch their foreheads.

Wooooosh!!!

As soon as Zheng-Fu's fingers touched their foreheads, the palm technique that Zheng-Fu had invented and adapted sent intense images surging into their minds. After a moment, Zheng-Fu pulled his fingers back and spoke.

"This skill set is called 'Ten Direction Monster Prana Palm' and is divided into four steps. The first step is to launch attacks in the north, south, east, and west. The second step is to launch attacks in the northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest."

"The third step involves attacking from above and below. The final step is to attack in all ten directions simultaneously. It's a broad attack stance that can target a large number of opponents."

Zheng-Fu explained the sub-steps of this skill and demonstrated the stances to help them understand better. He believed the two would be able to master the first step and understand the second. Once they grasped the second step, they would be better equipped to defend themselves against their opponents.

"All right, you two can start practicing. If you don't understand something, ask me. I'll guide you."

"We understand, Big Brother," they both replied in unison.

After learning the technique and receiving instructions from Zheng-Fu, the two brothers immediately moved to their corners to practice the Ten Direction Monster Prana Palm skill. Meanwhile, Zheng-Fu instructed Jin-Tian to balance his energy first, as his recent energy increase had left his energy unstable.

A day passed...

[Ten Direction Monster Prana Palm: First Step; Basic Four-Direction Attack]

Yaaaa!!!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

The Prana Palm appeared in four directions simultaneously around Diao and Den after they executed the skill. The Monster Prana Palm then smashed into the walls, causing eight consecutive explosions and a gust of wind to sweep through the room.

"We did it, Brother Den!"

"Mhm... We finally mastered the first step. And it seems like the second step won't be too difficult once the first step is fully understood," Den nodded, speaking happily. He felt that mastering the first step naturally led to an understanding of the second.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

"Excellent, excellent! You managed to understand the first step in just one day," Zheng-Fu praised them, encouraging them before continuing, "But don't get too excited. Your stance still has many flaws. Wait until you've mastered the second step before celebrating," Zheng-Fu suggested.

"We understand. But this is the first time I've been so happy that I'm speechless. If we hadn't met you, Big Brother, we... wouldn't be here today!" Diao felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude toward Zheng-Fu, feeling that today was one of the happiest days of his life.

"Wait until you win and take first place in this rally. Then you'll know what true happiness feels like, Diao!" Zheng-Fu advised Diao to save his joy for later, as winning the competition would bring even greater happiness.

"Brother Den and I will bring Big Brother the grand prize ourselves," said Diao, raising his head with great pride and confidence.

"Diao, I think you shouldn't be too overconfident. Remember, the younger generations from the big clans are strong too. They're all at the Immortal Soul stage, and many of them reached that stage before us. Plus, the skills they use are Mystical skills as well."

Den quickly warned his younger brother, noticing that Diao was overly confident with his newfound energy level. While Den wasn't afraid, he didn't want his brother to become careless.

"I get it, Brother Den. Even if we can't defeat them, we should be able to make it into the top hundred easily. But I definitely won't be in the lower ranks!"

As Zheng-Fu observed the two young brothers expressing their ambitions for the competition, he couldn't help but remember when he had first started cultivating. At that time, he was just an ordinary child. If he hadn't received help from the mysterious voice and dimension space, he might not have come this far.

Despite everything, Zheng-Fu still hadn't figured out how those events happened to him or who the mysterious voice belonged to. But no matter what, he was determined to find the answer one day.

Flop!!!

"You two, drink this bottle of water. Tomorrow, I'll take you to the clan congregation," Zheng-Fu said before immediately walking out of the training room, leaving the three of them behind. He then left the magic building and headed toward the Silver Body Clan's main mansion.

At the main mansion of the Silver Body Clan...

"This has been going on for several days. Why haven't we seen those two brothers, Clan Leader?"

"Yes, that's right. Will our clan still send them to compete?"

"I hear the three top clans have developed many talented youths, and some are already at the intermediate fourth level of the Immortal Soul stage!"

"The intermediate fourth level of the Immortal Soul stage!!? Damn!!! That stage is even higher than most lower-rank clan leaders!"

"The top clans are really strong. Even though we've gained some strength, it still can't compare to their youth."

The elders had extremely serious expressions on their faces because they had very high expectations of the two brothers, Diao and Den, as Zheng-Fu had said. With the competition day approaching and the brothers still nowhere to be seen, they were very worried.

As they discussed their concerns, Zheng-Fu opened the door to the hall and walked in calmly. His presence immediately silenced their conversations, and they all turned to stare at him—especially Song-Lang, who had been thinking about Zheng-Fu.

"Oh! Nephew Fu-Zheng! You've finally come... I've been looking for you and didn't know where you were. There are some things I'd like to discuss with you. I don't know if…"

Zing!!!

Blop!!!

Zheng-Fu didn't wait for Song-Lang to finish speaking and immediately tossed a bottle of light purple water to him. As soon as Song-Lang saw the object, he automatically extended his hand to catch it, showing a puzzled expression as he examined the item. He was about to speak when Zheng-Fu's voice rang out.

"Drink that water, and you'll understand," Zheng-Fu said simply, staring at Song-Lang with calm, earnest eyes.

Zheng-Fu's actions surprised everyone. He acted as if Song-Lang wasn't even in his eyes. Besides, what exactly was this purple water he had thrown? Why would their clan leader need to drink it?

"Nephew, what is this water?" Song-Lang asked, still hesitant to drink it.

"I already told you. If you want to know, drink it. But if you don't want to drink it, give it back," Zheng-Fu replied in a slightly cold tone.

"Clan Leader, I'll drink it myself," the Great Elder suddenly offered, volunteering to test the water in the bottle instead of Song-Lang.

"Huh... Great Elder?" Song-Lang turned to look at Shuan-Gong, gratefully acknowledging his concern. But as the clan leader, Song-Lang knew that Zheng-Fu didn't mean any harm, so he said, "It's all right, Elder Shuan-Gong. I'll drink it myself." With that, Song-Lang opened the bottle and drank the purple water.

Gulp, gulp, gulp!!!

After drinking the purple water, Song-Lang braced himself for any potential poison or pain. However, the effect he experienced was the opposite. A wave of pure energy surged into his energy realm like a tempest.

Wooooooosh!!!

Booooooom!!!

Ah!!!

In the blink of an eye, Song-Lang's energy level advanced to the next level, going from the first level of the Immortal Soul stage to the second. This caused the other elders to gape in shock, their mouths hanging open, their eyes widening, and their hearts pounding uncontrollably.

The water that Song-Lang had drunk wasn't poison but a powerful energy-boosting potion they all wished to obtain. They turned to Zheng-Fu with greedy eyes, but when they noticed his cold, flashing gaze, their greedy thoughts quickly disappeared.

Half a shichen had passed...

Booooom!!!

After another half shichen, the purple potion's energy was fully absorbed, accompanied by the sound of another explosion, signaling yet another level-up. Song-Lang's energy level had now reached nearly the intermediate fifth level of the Immortal Soul stage.

Phew!!!

"Incredible! Is there really such a divine potion in this world?" Song-Lang said happily, amazed by the effects of the purple potion Zheng-Fu had given him.

"It's called the 'Purple Heavenly Demon Potion,'" Zheng-Fu replied, giving the name of the potion to Song-Lang and the others around him.

"Purple Heavenly Demon Potion!!?"

"What kind of divine potion is it? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"I've never heard of it either. But it has the word 'demon' in its name."

"Could it be a Demon Tribe medicine?"

"If it's a Demon Tribe potion, our Monster Tribe is doomed. If they use this potion, they'll rapidly increase the energy of their army!"

The elders speculated in various ways after hearing the word 'demon' from the name of the potion, fearing that the potion came from their enemies, the Demon Tribe. They feared that the Demon Tribe had used this potion to level up their energies.
