The deadly energy that was released by the trunk clashed with Zheng-Fu's curtain of Qi energy and shook the area. The place was not permeated with coldness due to the deadly vibe that the trunk sent out…

Shan-He, who was behind Zheng-Fu, was scared by the pressure and the deadly vibe. He had to suffer the cold sweat on his forehead. He had come to test himself in front of the trunk countless times, but never succeeded in withstanding its deadly vibe…

This very trunk had been in his family for many generations. It had been kept on the third floor of the shop since his family got it. Nobody could ever claim it. Shan-He had been searching for someone with all-round talents and skills but had never found one. However, he did not realize that the person was right in front of him…

Boom!

The trunk continued to release its pressuring energy so intense that Tong-Kuang, Dan-Chun-Gu, and Fu-Tao-Qi had to rush to the scene even though they were trying the armors on. But when they reached the stairs to the third floor, the people who guarded the place halted them…

Security guard: "Stop! You're not allowed to go upstairs!"

"Move!"

Boom!

Tong-Kuang said and projected his energy towards the group of people at the stairs. The people there started to breathe heavily because they were scared of Tong-Kuang who possessed the ninth level of the Foundation Building stage. They were only at either the seventh or eighth level of the Foundation Building stage…

"Let them up!"

All of a sudden, Shan-He ordered the guards to let Zheng-Fu's group up to the third floor. The guards got out of the way of Tong-Kuang and the other two. Tong-Kuang then stopped releasing his energy and headed upstairs immediately…

Security guard: "Who are those people? That guy's energy level is as high as Master Shan-He's!"

The people who guarded the stairs had to take a big gulp of air when they encountered Tong-Kuang's energy level because it was too much for them to take…

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

"What happened!?"

Tong-Kuang and the other two rushed to ask Shan-He what was going on as soon as they reached the third floor…

Shan-He did not say anything only telling the group to keep it down while pointing at Zheng-Fu who was standing in front of them…

"Young master!"

Tong-Kuang crinkled his eyebrows instantly when he saw Zheng-Fu. Then he felt a tremendous energy clash that came from the trunk and Zheng-Fu. It shook him slightly…

Dan-Chun-Gu: "What's this pressuring energy? How come it's so intense!?"

Fu-Tao-Qi: "Yeah! I can barely withstand it even though I'm shielding it with all of my Qi energy…"

Dan-Chun-Gu and Fu-Tao-Qi's faces showed that they were in complete agony. They suffered it more than Shan-He and Tong-Kuang…

Shriek!

The hidden spirit in the trunk continued to release that energy constantly, but the energy could not penetrate through Zheng-Fu's curtain of energy. But Zheng-Fu also had a hard time countering it…

"Darn it! The pressure is too heavy. If it continues this way, I'll be in trouble. Its grudging vibe was so immense! Wait! 'Grudging vibe!?'

Thud!

All of a sudden, Zheng-Fu came up with some idea. He sat down to meditate instantly while creating a shield force around him. He raised his palms and clasped them then started to chant the Buddha Mantra

[The Buddha Mantra One: Sending Love and Kindness]

"Namo Tassa Sabvena Metana."

Zheng-Fu started to chant instantaneously. As he was chanting the first verse, words that poured out of his mouth became visible in the air in golden-letter form. They were showering the trunk…

Shriek!

An energy wave occurred and was spread throughout the third floor. The shop was shaken tremendously, so Shan-He told everybody to get out of the building…

"Namejitang Gatuma Metadhamma"

Zheng-Fu kept on chanting. The uncomfortable cold pressure started to subside. The grudging vibe was also receding gradually…

Shan-He: "What's that fighting technique!? I'd never seen it before."

Shan-He turned to Tong-Kuang who was standing next to him about the chanting technique that Zheng-Fu was using on the trunk because he had never seen the technique before. Tong-Kuang had to shake his head to say that he also absolutely had no idea what it was…

"That golden light!?"

Dan-Chun-Gu exclaimed with a mixed feeling. He did not know what the golden light meant, but he remembered it because he had seen it at the Monsters' Route…

Shan-He: "Do you know what it is?"

Shan-He turned to ask Dan-Chun-Gu instead when he heard Dan-Chun-Gu exclaimed…

Dan-Chun-Gu: "No! I don't know what it is either, but I've seen it before at the Monsters' Route…"

"The Monsters' Route!?"

Shan-He was a little shocked to hear the phrase 'The Monsters' Route' because he knew how horrifying and dangerous the route was. He got even more interested in Zheng-Fu when he realized that he used this technique at the Monsters' Route before and survived the route too…

The pressure and grudging vibe from the trunk started to decrease. Its shrike was also dying down…

The building started to gain back its stability. Zheng-Fu continued to chant the Buddha verse. And as he shut his eyes, he began to be aware that he was slipping into another dimension…

Then Zheng-Fu slowly opened his eyes and found that he was surrounded by mountains, trees, and rivers. The sky was blue and calm with birds flying around. The animals in the area lived happily and peacefully…

"Where is this place?" Zheng-Fu asked himself while trying to look around him…

Boom!

And all of a sudden, there was a loud explosion occurred causing a fire in the forest. All the animals tried to run for their lives…

Shrike!

Then there was a shadow that popped out of nowhere, shrieking fiercely at Zheng-Fu. It directed its energy to pressure Zheng-Fu so much that he lost his breathing control…

That shadow was a monster when Zheng-Fu saw it clearly. It was as tall as a two-story building and covered in white furs. There were some blue crystals all over its body…

The monster ran towards Zheng-Fu and it seemed to be weakened with blood all over. Its white furs became red. When Zheng-Fu looked further, he saw a group of martial artists soaring after the monster…

The energy levels of those people were as scary as the monster's. They also came with all kinds of weapons. They projected their force at the monster constantly, but the monster could duck the attacks because it was very quick…

The martial artists: "Where are you running to, Blue Crystal Winter Monstrous Wolf!?"

"Blue Crystal Winter Monstrous Wolf!?"

Zheng-Fu felt a little surprised when he heard the name of the monster because he had seen the name in the Book of Monsters before. This type of monster was the leader of all monsters of Winter. Their attack power was extremely powerful. The young ones were already in the higher level of the Golden Core stage…

Zheng-Fu thought that the energy of this one was probably higher than the highest level of the Golden Core stage because it was a teenage one. He could also see that the people who were chasing the monster possessed high energy too...

Shriek!

The Blue Crystal Winter Monstrous Wolf: "Darn you human! Don't think that you would get anything from me. I won't give you anything even if I have to die…"

"He can talk too!?"

Zheng-Fu was completely shocked to hear the Blue Crystal Winter Monstrous Wolf speak human language. When he came to think about it, he remembered that the monsters that reached the Spirit of Intellects would be able to speak human language…

The martial artists: "Tsk! You arrogant monster! Do you still have the nerve to show off? You won't be able to get away from us…"

Boom!

One of the martial artists attacked the monster with his force, but the monster could escape from it, which made Zheng-Fu the next target of that attack. Zheng-Fu could not jump out of its way, so he raised his hands to block it…

"Argh!"

When the force reached Zheng-Fu, it went right through. However, Zheng-Fu did not get hurt at all even though he could feel it went right through him…

"What happened? How come I didn't get hurt?" Zheng-Fu crinkled his eyebrows for a while then he tried to wave his hands to the monster and the group of martial artists. "Yo!" Nobody heard him. It made him realize instantly that what he saw was merely an illusion or something of the kind…

The Blue Crystal Winter Monstrous Wolf continued to run towards the Mountain of Snow, which was covered by heavy white snow…

The martial artists: "Do you think we would let you get in there!?"

Boom!

"Argh!"

The Blue Crystal Winter Monstrous Wolf was knocked down by the sword energy from one of the martial artists. It got hit by its body so hard that it was sent upward and landed on the bed of thick snow. Its body was soaked in blood. The monster then tried to get up, but it could not…

"It got hit!"

When Zheng-Fu saw that, he rushed to jump in and block the martial artists from reaching the monster, but it did not help because those people ran through him, just like that. He could not do anything to help the monster, so he just looked at it with sorrow…

Shriek!

All of a sudden, a loud shriek was let out causing a violent avalanche of the snow that now completely covered the monster. The pile of snow was about three meters high…

"Darn it!"

Martial artist 1: "How are we going to locate it? The snow is that thick!"

Martial artist 2: "It's in there! Just dig up! It's not going to make it with that attack from!"

"Yeah!"

The group of martial artists started to dig the snow to get to the Blue Crystal Winter Monstrous Wolf. When Zheng-Fu saw that, he rushed to jump into the snow to look for the monster instantly…

Shriek!

When Zheng-Fu got to the monster, he saw that there was a blue aura covering its body so the snow did not get to it. The monster breathed heavily and its pulse started to slow down gradually…

Now you saw what humans like you had done to me!

All of a sudden, Zheng-Fu heard a hoarse voice out of nowhere while he was looking at the monster. The voice was similar to the voice he heard before from the monster…

"Whose voice was that? Was it yours!?" Zheng-Fu asked immediately as the voice ended while looking around…

The Blue Crystal Winter Monstrous Wolf: "That's right kid! I'm talking to you. The image that you've seen is real. I am the monster that belongs to the group of the leader of the Monsters of Winter. I'm not fully grown yet but had to be hunted down by that type of human being…"

The Blue Crystal Winter Monstrous Wolf spoke with angst that came with a grudging vibe again. It made Zheng-Fu feel the cold sweat on his forehead…

"What happened after this? How come you ended up being in this place?" Zheng-Fu pretended to show that he was not in fear…

Tsk!

The Blue Crystal Winter Monstrous Wolf: "Aren't you scared of me, kid?"

"Scared!?"

"Why do I have to be scared of you? How can you hurt me because you're just a spirit?" Zheng-Fu said while pretending to look down at the monster…

Zheng-Fu thought that if the monster tried to hurt him, he would just chant the Buddha mantra on it, so he did not feel intimidated by it at all. Besides, as he said, the monster was merely a grudging spirit…

Roar!

The Blue Crystal Winter Monstrous Wolf: "You! Fine! I'll possess you and use your body to destroy those people…"

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, a black shadow with bright red eyes soared out of the monster that was lying under the snow. It aimed to take control of Zheng-Fu's body…

"If you think you can do it, fine!" Zheng-Fu said while starting to chant the Buddha mantra…

[The Buddha Mantra Two: Soul Cleansing]

"Jitmetang Nakritgatang Buddhamometa"

Whoosh!

Golden letters were pouring out of Zheng-Fu's mouth and landed on the dark shadow instantly. They formed themselves as a cage that withheld that dark shadow, so it could not move anywhere…

Roar!
