Zheng-Fu stood and looked at Master Tue-Zhang who was walking slowly towards him and turned to look at the two monks who passed out on the floor. Then he turned to look at himself…

Zheng-Fu could feel the warm energy in him. It was different from the feeling that he received from the Qi energy that he gained from the cultivation. This new energy was soft but strong. The energy from the two monks helped him break through to the ninth level of the Qi gathering stage…

However, Zheng-Fu felt that he might not be in the ninth level of the Qi Gathering stage, but the Foundation Building stage…

Not only the energy level that he improved, but Zheng-Fu also gained fighting techniques from the two monks. Those techniques were all kinds of skills about the Buddhist Saint, which were the skills that involved all kinds of weapons…

The two elderly monks also transferred the technique of the '12 Constellations Palm' to Zheng-Fu. It was a technique that each skill took after the soul of each different 12 animals…

"I didn't mean to. Please accept my apology!" Zheng-Fu said while bowing to the monks while feeling extremely bad…

Zheng-Fu did not mean for this to happen. He did not know why all these things happened to him. All he knew was the minute he walked up the stairs, he felt this tremendous pressure from someone or something…

He also felt pain all over his body. However, he did not feel the same pressure or agonizing pain even though he was on the first step of the stairs like before…

Rustle!

After Master Tue-Zhang reached the two passed-out monks, he rushed to pick them up and threw them back to where the rest of the monks were. The monks who stayed back also rushed to grab the two monks instantly…

When Master Tue-Zhang got the two monks out of the floor, he jumped backward instantly. He did a quick inspection of the mysterious energy that the Tower Master mentioned earlier while he was helping the two monks, but found nothing suspicious…

Master Tue-Zhang: "I want you to tell everyone not to enter the Tower of Fighting Manuals until we find the source of this strange incident. What do you think?"

Everyone nodded in agreement because they did not know what happened to the two elderly monks who fell on the floor and cried in pain like that. The strangest thing about what happened was the energy of the two monks got drained out almost completely…

The announcement was made so the Tower of Fighting Manuals was being guarded. There was strict monitoring in the area. The young monks were talking about what happened at the tower in many ways. Some talked about the ghost in the tower. Some talked about an intruder who seemed to possess wicked fighting skills…

The whole thing created quite a chaos in Shaolin Monastery. The Elders in the monastery held several meetings to discuss what happened. The abbot of the monastery did not join the meetings because he was in hibernation to cultivate his energy…

Zheng-Fu continued to stay in the Tower of Fighting Manuals, trying to revive his energy and strength as quickly as he could. The new energy that he recently received was immense, so he could move forward in the process efficiently…

A week had passed by and Zheng-Fu could move to the Foundation Building stage. It did not take long for him to break through the energy level. His body was also back to as strong as usual…

The thing that surprised him was his weak meridians that had now become bigger and stronger. His Qi circulating system got back to work normally without him having to take any medicines. The new energy that he received also helped him break through all clogged meridians…

A week passed by…

Whoosh!

Boom!

Zheng-Fu finally broke through to the Foundation Building stage again. The color on his face got better. He saw that light again when he reached the Foundation Building stage. It was the same color that he had the last time when he reached the stage…

Zheng-Fu crinkled his eyebrows out of curiosity. He did not understand why his light had a color when he reached the latest energy stage. He could also feel that this time the energy was more powerful than the last time. Zheng-Fu could feel that even if he had to fight with someone with a few higher energy levels, he would be able to fight them without fear…

Zheng-Fu continued to revive his energy and study the fighting manuals on the second and third floors with all his heart. In the meantime, the young monks outside the manual tower also continued to give restricted monitoring around the area…

In the meeting room at Shaolin Monastery…

Elder Shaolin monk 1: "How long do we have to wait? It's been a month, but we haven't found the cause of the chaos!"

Elder Shaolin monk 2: "Yeah! If it continues this way, we'll be in trouble if the abbot comes back!"

Master Tue-Zhang: "Please calm down guys. We're trying to find a solution!"

"Finding a solution!"

Elder Shaolin monk 3: "It's been a long time now. I don't see you do anything, Master Tue-Zhang. If you can't fix the problem, you should not give us the promise!"

A chubby monk said with a very fierce gesture. He never liked Master Tue-Zhang, so when this kind of incident happened, he would always say something to lessen Master Tue-Zhang's credibility…

The Tower Master: "Please don't say that! Master Tue-Zhang has been doing his best. What about you? What have you been doing for this case?"

The Tower Master did not like the chubby monk because he was not fair to anyone. If he did not like someone, he would order that person to do too many things around the monastery…

The chubby monk had also done many things that went against the monastery's rules. However, he could get away with everything because no one ever dared to tell the abbot. It seemed like he had many Elders in the monastery to support him. That was the reason why he could bully everyone…

"Y…y…you!"

The face of the chubby monk was full of rage. He did not expect that the Tower Master would dare to say that to him…

"Tsk!"

The chubby monk made an unsatisfied facial expression before getting up from his seat and walking out of the meeting room. Some of the Elder monks followed him out…

The Tower Master: "It seems like he has become too much these days. I think I'll tell the abbot that he's been against the rules!"

Master Tue-Zhang: "Just let him be! He'll get what he gives."

"Amida Buddha!"

Another month had passed. Zheng-Fu still did the same routine, studying fighting manuals and cultivating his Qi energy. But despite all that, his energy level was not improved that much…

"These fighting techniques are excellent. They are very efficient and powerful. I can say that they could be high-level techniques!" Zheng-Fu said while smiling. Even though some of these fighting techniques did not suit him, they would suit the others in his clan…

Zheng-Fu thought that if he could get out of this dimension, he would definitely teach these fighting techniques to the people in the clan. Then his clan would move up to a higher position…

Outside of the dimension…

Times had passed by. People started to talk about Zheng-Fu lesser and lesser until they stopped talking about him. Ever since people heard that he had no Qi energy anymore and still being unconscious, they lost interest in him…

After the clan's youth martial arts test, everyone saw him as the genius and the hope of the clan. But today, a lot of them thought that he had now become a clan's trash because he had no martial arts power and never woke up…

They saw that Zheng-Fu was merely sleeping, stealing air to breathe from others. From wanting to befriend him, people did not want to associate with him. However, Tong-Kuang and Dan-Chun-Gu's group remained by Zheng-Fu's side…

Dan-Chun-Gu: "What do we do, brother Tong-Kuang? Young master doesn't seem to wake up!"

Dan-Chun-Gu asked Tong-Kuang because he wanted to know what to do next. The rest of the group also wanted to know the answer. It had been half a year now that Zheng-Fu had been a sleeping prince…

Tong-Kuang: "I don't know, but I'd always be by his side. No matter how long he remains unconscious, I'll never leave him. I don't want to withhold you and the group to be by his side. You guys still have a lot of things to do, so just do what you have to do…"

"Brother Tong!"

Dan-Chun-Gu did not have the thought of leaving Zheng-Fu, but he did not know what the rest of the group thought. He turned to look at everyone and saw that they seemed to want to say something, but decided to swallow their words down…

Lang-Guang-Kuang: "I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay to protect young master!"

All of a sudden, Lang-Guang-Kuang uttered words with a determined facial expression. He thought that it was a decent thing to stay. He had respect for Zheng-Fu too, so he confirmed that he wanted to stay…

Ji-Zhung-Gong and Yan-Yu were reluctant for a while. They did not know whether to stay or go. Both of them knew that they had become stronger because Zheng-Fu helped them. They became respectable because of that help. Kong-Shi and Tang-Ling had also been taking care of them extremely well…

These were the reasons that made it hard for them to decide whether they should stay or leave. Wu-Xiao, on the other hand, gave out a light smile and walked toward Zheng-Fu. She kissed Zheng-Fu's forehead and then said…

Wu-Xiao: "I'll always be by your side!"

"Me too!"

Fu-Tao-Qi said with confidence that he would stay by Zheng-Fu's side because he had been thinking about this for a while now. Even though Zheng-Fu would not wake up, he would still take care of him and his family to pay for what Zheng-Fu and his family had been giving him…

Dan-Chun-Gu: "I think so too. For both of you, Ji-Zhung-Gong and Yan-Yu, if you want to go, it's alright. It doesn't matter what you decide, we'll still be brothers!"

Tong-Kuang: "That's right. We will never stop being brothers. We'll always welcome you if you want to go and come back!"

Ji-Zhung-Gong and Yan-Yu had now become more reluctant. They would like to stay, but they still wanted to travel the world…

So, it was hard for them to make the decision. They looked at Zheng-Fu who was still asleep. All they saw was a normal kid, not a martial artist like before…

But if something was wrong with him when they were gone, they would feel guilty for the rest of their lives. But still, they could not make any decision yet…

"I…"

"Well…"

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

All of a sudden, Kong-Shi ran to Zheng-Fu's room panicky. He turned to Tong-Kuang and said…

Kong-Shi: "Please help watch Zheng-Fu for me, Tong-Kuang. I need to take care of something!"

Kong-Shi rushed out of the room without waiting for a reply from Tong-Kuang. Everyone there looked at Kong-Shi with curiosity because Kong-Shi was not normally that way. He was calm and prudent. But a moment ago, Kong-Shi was full of worry and concern…

At the entrance of the Tian-Tang clan…

A big group of about a hundred angry men flocked in front of the gate of the Tian-Tang clan. They were all full of scars all over their bodies, especially the man in the middle of the group. The body of that man was bigger than anyone. He had more scars than the rest…

The man in the middle of the group was sitting on the back of a gigantic tiger. The tiger roared to show its fierceness while drooling saliva that touched and sat on the ground. It did make the security guards at the gate falter in utmost fear…
