"Argh!"

Everyone who was at the meeting hall looked at Lao-Chu who was making an agonizing face. They felt sorry for him, but no one could help him because Zheng-Fu's energy was completely stronger. Even Mo-Zi was startled…

"Zheng-Fu, son!"

Kong-Shi was afraid that things were going to get too far, so he tried to stop Zheng-Fu. The boy listened to his father, so he wound down the energy…

*Lao-Chu took in a big gulp of air.*

Lao-Chu had to take many deep breaths. His face turned pale instantly because he never thought that Zheng-Fu would dare to do that to him. Now he looked at Zheng-Fu with utmost grudge…

"Father!"

Dong-Chu rushed to his father. Then he looked at Zheng-Fu and said…

Dong-Chu: "How dare you hurt my father!"

"So what?" Zheng-Fu turned to look at Dong-Chu with a cold look on his face…

Zheng-Fu's words startled Dong-Chu who had to step backward for many paces out of fear. Dong-Chu possessed only a basic energy level, so he could not fight with Zheng-Fu. He just had to look at the floor with fear…

Kong-Shi: "I have to apologize to my son. He should not have done that to you!"

Tsk!

Lao-Chu: "Your son is very strong. Who would dare to say anything to him?"

When Lao-Chu finished the sentence, he walked back to his seat. He had to pat his chest out of pain…

Tian-Qi who had been fixing her eyes on Zheng-Fu understood now how he could help the clan. Zheng-Fu's energy level was not any lower than her father's at all. She wondered how Zheng-Fu could gain so much strength within no time…

Tian-Qi did not know at all what was going on in Zheng-Fu's life. At first, he was the trash of the clan. Now he turned to be the hero of the clan. His energy level was very impressive too…

Mo-Zi: "Well, I've made the decision. Do you wish to participate in this upcoming competition?"

Mo-Zi tried to cut in and turned to ask Zheng-Fu about his decision…

"I would be more than glad to participate in the competition, sir! I'd do my best and won't let anyone in the clan down!" Zheng-Fu said with a serious face…

"Great!"

Mo-Zi: "So, I have to rely on you for this competition. It will take place a year and a half from now. I need you to take the best care of yourself until the time comes!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Wait!"

"The leader of the clan, I've got something for you!"

"Something for me!?"

Zheng-Fu smiled lightly before taking out three manuals from his spatial ring…

"Spatial ring!"

Everyone was startled to see Zheng-Fu's spatial ring. They all knew that the ring was not cheap at all. Only the Elders of the clan owned them. Everyone looked at Zheng-Fu's spatial ring with widened eyes…

Mo-Zi looked at the three manuals in Zheng-Fu's hand. He crinkled his eyebrows with wonder and then asked…

Mo-Zi: "These manuals are…?"

"These manuals contain mid-level fighting techniques. I hope they will benefit the people in the clan, sir!"

"Mid-level techniques!?"

Now everyone started to chat when they heard and saw the manuals in Zheng-Fu's hand. They were all excited to hear that because the clan owned only two mid-level fighting techniques…

Combined with the mid-level fighting technique that Zheng-Fu gave the clan the last time, the clan had altogether three mid-level fighting techniques. So, with these three new mid-level fighting techniques, the clan would have six of them. This fact excited everyone…

"These three techniques are 'the Sword of Tornado', 'the Sword of Fiery Heart', and 'the Sword of Lotus'. These used to be the lower-level fighting techniques. I improved them successfully to make them the mid-level ones. Anyone who has already practiced the three mid-level techniques that the clan had would learn these three new techniques faster." Zheng-Fu said while handing the manuals to Mo-Zi…

"The Sword of Tornado!?"

A group of martial artists exclaimed out of joy and excitement when they heard Zheng-Fu's explanation. They all had been practicing the Sword of Tornado too…

A lot of people who had been practicing those techniques also exclaimed the name of the fighting techniques that Zheng-Fu improved. Mo-Zi took the three manuals and looked at Zheng-Fu with a grateful eye. Then he said…

Mo-Zi: "I don't know how to thank you. These three techniques are tremendously important to our clan. They will help us grow stronger…"

Mo-Zi said while feeling proud. Everybody also thought so. Starting from admiring Zheng-Fu, now, everyone slowly turned to respect him…

"Please don't thank me like that, the leader of the clan! These techniques are just the start. I'll write about ten more of the techniques tomorrow." Zheng-Fu said while smiling at Mo-Zi…

"Ten more fighting techniques!"

Everyone in the meeting hall widened their eyes with utmost shock when they heard that Zheng-Fu was going to write ten more. They thought that if everyone knew this, there would be chaos…

"Who is this kid!?"

Even Kong-Shi was shocked by the words of Zheng-Fu. He had never known about this side of his son. He did not know that Zheng-Fu could write fighting techniques. It was impressive even though the techniques had not been tested…

However, the people in the meeting hall agreed to believe that the new fighting techniques were powerful, judging from the power that Zheng-Fu and his group had…

Tong-Kuang and the group were not surprised by Zheng-Fu's words because they had been through a moment like this before. They could not do anything but smile dryly at the people in the meeting hall…

*Lao-Chu ground his teeth.*

Lao-Chu looked at Zheng-Fu with utmost rage, but he could not do anything. He just had to try to suppress his anger…

Lao-Chu: *Just wait and see. I'll never give up. Just wait until my eldest son comes back!*

After the meeting, everyone scattered back to their duties. Zheng-Fu and Kong-Shi had a great and warm conversation on the way back to their place. Tong-Kuang and the group followed them giving protection…

The people in the clan paid respect to Zheng-Fu and Kong-Shi. They knew that Zheng-Fu had helped the clan from the attacks. It made him someone that people talked about. Even kids knew and talked about his bravery…

"How long had I been sleeping, father?" Zheng-Fu asked Kong-Shi after the whole mess ended…

Kong-Shi: "I think it's about a year that you've been sleeping…"

"A year!?"

Zheng-Fu felt a little surprised. He thought that the length of time in the dimension was different from outside of the dimension. So, the length of time of both dimensions matched…

"I must have caused you trouble when I was unconscious. You guys too." Zheng-Fu said while feeling guilty. He looked at everybody…

Yan-Yu: "Not at all, young master! It was nothing!"

Ji-Zhung-Gong: "Nothing!? And who complained that it was boring at the clan!?"

"You! Chubby!"

Wu-Xiao: "You both complained that it was boring here, so stop arguing!"

"Hahaha!"

When Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong heard that from Wu-Xiao, they had to stop arguing and looked down with shyness. Everyone started to laugh loudly and happily. Then they all reached the house…

"Mother! I'm home!"

"My dear wife!"

…

No one answered…

"Wait!"

Kong-Shi: "How come the house is so quiet!?"

Zheng-Fu suspected that something might happen, so he dashed into the house immediately. Everyone followed him in…

"Mother!'

"My dear Ling!"

Tong-Kuang: "What is that paper, young master?"

When everyone got inside the house, they saw that the house was in a big mess. They did not see Tan-Ling there, but a piece of paper on the table…

Grab!

Zheng-Fu walked in to grab the paper from the table and read…

Bang!

Zheng-Fu hit the table so hard that it broke the minute he finished reading the paper. There were bulging veins all over his face. Kong-Shi started to worry when he saw that. So, he asked…

Kong-Shi: "What is in the note, son!?"

"Argh!"

"The Cult of Savage Evil!"

Zheng-Fu did not answer the question but shouted the name of the Cult of Savage Evil. His voice was so loud. It was like Zheng-Fu had turned into a monster and screamed. It was so horrifying that everyone in the clan ran to his house with utmost shock…

"The Cult of Savage Evil?"

Zheng-Fu tried to calm down. Now there was a cold look on his face. He turned to Kong-Shi and said…

"They got mother! They said that if we want her back, we have to give them a hundred thousand Qi energy stones within a month."

"A hundred thousand Qi energy stones!"

Kong-Shi was shocked when he heard the numbers of the Qi energy stones that the cult wanted. It would take a hundred years to have that amount of the stone. How could they give the cult all those stones within a month? He thought…

Kong-Shi felt like there was no energy left in him so he sat down on the chair. He wondered why bad things kept happening. The attacks were just over and now his wife was being kidnapped…

Tong-Kuang: "Where are we going to find that amount of Qi energy stones, young master?"

"Don't worry! I know what to do. If they want to play this game, then I'll serve them the game! Brother Dan-Chun-Gu! Please send a letter to the owner of In-See City." When Zheng-Fu finished the sentence, he started to write a letter immediately and handed it to Dan-Chun-Gu…

Grab!

"Yes, young master!"

"Brother Fu-Tao-Qi, I need you to send a letter to the Association of the Alchemists too." Zheng-Fu then started to write another letter quickly and handed it to Fu-Tao-Qi…

Grab!

"Yes, young master!"

Then Dan-Chun-Gu and Fu-Tao-Qi quickly soared out without wasting any time…

"Brother Lang-Guang-Kuang! Please go and check the area around the clan. I need you to find some clues about my mother."

"Yes, sir!"

Whoosh!

After receiving a request, Lang-Guang-Kuang slipped out of the room with his fast speed. Then Zheng-Fu turned to look at the other three members in the room and said…

"You guys come with me to the forest of the monsters!"

"The forest of the monsters!?"

"Yes, young master!"

Three of the members were confused when Zheng-Fu needed them to go to the forest of the monsters with him. They did not know why Zheng-Fu wanted to go there, but they agreed to go with Zheng-Fu anyway…
