C1 Han shi

Legend has it that a long time ago, when the ancient martial world experienced a great calamity, its spiritual energy dissipated. From then on, cultivators trained very slowly, but after thousands of years, there was still that legendary figure that appeared, even though it was only a short time.

"Break for me!" With an explosive shout, Master Han's face turned red and his body trembled uncontrollably. Following his explosive shout, a sound that could be heard as he landed on the ground came out from within his body.

A look of ecstasy appeared on Master Han's face. In the end, he succeeded, and for a moment, Master Han sighed with emotion. Although he was considered a cultivation genius, he had cultivated to such a level in the ancient martial world, a world where spiritual energy was scarce.

The bitterness and tears during his cultivation was actually only known to him. With a smile on his face, Master Han looked around the impenetrable secret chamber, revealing a trace of a happy smile.

The entire Ancient Martial Arts Academy, no, it should be the entire Ancient Martial World. Since he had broken through to the Spirit Soul realm, he had already become a top expert in the world; other than the Headmaster's son, Yun Long, he had become unrivaled.

In addition, due to the decrease in spiritual energy, to the people of the ancient Martial World, the Spirit Soul Realm was the limit. However, Han Shi did not think so.

From the ancient classics, Master Han clearly knew that during the ancient era, people were able to move mountains and overturn the seas while cultivating. There were some that could even live up to a thousand years. This was not a legend, but a real existence.

Therefore, Master Han was unwilling, and he also didn't want to think that he had finally reached this level. Thus, he only had six months of seclusion, and now that he had succeeded and broke the limits of the world, how could he not be happy?

Wiping away the dust on his body, Master Han slowly walked out of the secret room. During the six months of seclusion, he had been stuck at the gates of hell many times.

The moment he stepped out of the room, Master Han suddenly looked up at the sky. In the dark, he seemed to sense something, and a haughty expression appeared on his face as he stared indifferently at the sky.

"Heavenly Tribulation? I look forward to it! " Master Han smiled. Just like in the ancient records, after the Spirit Stage is the Heavenly Tribulation, which is also the most difficult part. After you pass it, you will be able to compete with the heavens and live for thousands of years.

However, Master Han didn't put it to heart at all. To him, this was just his path, and it was worth dying for.

Ah!" Master, you came out of seclusion. " Shocked cries sounded beside Han shi's ears.

When Master Han turned around, his face involuntarily revealed a trace of a loving smile.

The one who spoke was none other than Master Han's disciple, Wang Tian. It sounded quite pitiful, as Wang Tian had lost his parents since he was young and was raised by Han Shi. Although the two of them were not father and son, they were still more like father and son.

On top of that, Han shi had treated his students extremely well in the academy, and the majority of his students were on good terms with him.

In less than an instant after Master Han came out, a few people gathered in the western part of the academy. A gloomy atmosphere permeated the air.

"Do you think that Han shi heard wrong when he came out of seclusion? He has only been in seclusion for half a year, how is that possible?"

Yun Long's expression was so dark that it could drip water. He was a heaven warping genius who came from a rich background, and the dean was his father. Originally, light and focus could only be placed on him.

However, he didn't expect that there would be a Master Han. Both of them were also cultivation geniuses, yet they could cultivate to such a level in this world that had long since fallen. At the same time that Yun Long felt emotional and proud, there was jealousy.

Ever since Master Han came to the courtyard, the two of them had fought countless times, but each time, it was a draw. It was only when Master Han chose to go into closed door cultivation that Yun Long could relax a little, as if the peaceful days were about to end.

Yun Long's face darkened. He frowned and thought for a long time before his eyes suddenly lit up. Then, he turned to one of the people standing to the side and said.

"Qingyu, go and invite Master Han over. Tell him that I have something to discuss with him."

Qing Yu frowned. Yun Long never took anyone seriously, he was just a small character. From the moment this fellow accepted him as his disciple, he had been suspicious of his motives, so he decided to hide his suspicions deep within his heart. He didn't want Yun Long to make any mistakes, so he said, "Disciple understands."

Yun Long nodded his head in satisfaction and replied sternly, "The few of you are master's future. You will naturally have your own benefits if you do well in this matter, but if you don't do well, you will be severely punished." As he said those last words, his tone was cold and chilling to the bone.

Qingyu nodded as he walked out. Yunlong stared at Qingyu's back as a trace of ruthlessness flashed past his eyes.

"Soon, it will be the start of the Martial Arts Competition, and with Han Shi's personality, he will definitely watch from there to improve his own abilities. At that time, as long as I secretly use some methods to make the divine retribution come earlier and without mishap, he will definitely die. At that time, I will definitely make him the laughingstock of the world."

When Yun Long's disciple, Liu Yang, heard this, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart. Yun Long's character is truly terrifying.

He originally wanted to use the ancient martial arts competition to make all the sects submit to him. His original plan was to wait for the various sects to finish sparring before he announced this matter.

This was also Master Han's best chance after closed door cultivation. However, he didn't expect that at this critical juncture, Master Han would actually come out. He clearly understood Master Han's ambitions, and if he did so, Master Han would definitely come out to stop him.

"Master, there's only one thing that I don't understand. That kid's talent is ordinary, and he doesn't have any background. Why do you need to use him so heavily?" Liu Yang couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Hehe, it's his fault that he has a good father, and his father is that kid Han Shi's life and death brother. This kid is very important to me, so you don't need to worry about him."

Yun Long's face revealed a strange expression, as if he had thought of something.

Qingyu slowly walked toward where Master Han was undergoing closed door cultivation, and couldn't help but reveal a complicated expression.

A gust of wind blew past, as if there was a sigh in the air.

Closer! Closer! Looking at Master Han's familiar figure, Qing Yu could not help but be taken aback. However, upon recalling the fearsome aspect of the Cloud Dragon, he walked towards Master Han without the slightest hesitation.

So, three years ago, during a mission training, Han Shi and Qingyu's parents went together, but who knew they would run into a demon beast?

Originally, given Han shi's cultivation, it should have been easy for him to save Han shi, but who would have thought that he would be poisoned? With his cultivation remaining at less than ten percent, it was Qing Yu's parents who risked their lives to save him.

However, only Master Han remained. As a result, Qing Yu's parents had lost their lives. From then on, Qingyu hated Master Han and even took in Master Han's mortal opponent, Yun Long.

Even though Qing Yu knew that Han shi did not make the slightest mistake in the entire matter, he was still unable to get rid of this knot.

Three years had passed, and Qingyu had grown up, matured a lot. Back then, he had seen through it, but because of the youth's strong self-esteem, he did not apologize to Han shi. Perhaps, this was fate.

"Hmm? "Qingyu?" Seeing that it was Qingyu, a hint of happiness could not help but flash across Master Han's face. However, after looking at Qingyu's expression, he seemed to have thought of something, and grief and even helplessness flashed across his eyes.

Wang Tian looked at Qing Yu, and his expression instantly turned ugly. If not for Han shi's presence, he would have charged forward and taught Qing Yu a lesson.

"Alright, don't worry. I'll be there." Master Han said to Qing Yu with a smile.

Qing Yu looked at Han Shi. The corner of his mouth slightly moved as if he wanted to say something. However, in the end, he did not speak.

Seeing this, Wang Tian couldn't help but feel anxious. Yun Long and Master were enemies to begin with, and now that he had just come out, he wanted Master Han to go. Who knew what would happen?

It was just that when Master Han saw Wang Tian's expression, he smiled and shook his head, stopping the words that Wang Tian wanted to say.

After which, as Master Han looked at Qing Yu's back, a smile appeared on his face.

"Tian'er, don't worry. In the past, there was nothing that Xu Yunlong or I could do to me. But now, I have already surpassed him by far. In front of strength, small movements are useless."

Master Han's face wore a smile, and his tone carried a strong confidence that caused Wang Tian to be stunned.

After which, Han shi had Wang Tian report his exit to the academy, and after which, he walked over to where Yun Long lived.

Master Han's footsteps were like the wind. The students and teachers in the academy only felt a gust of wind blowing past them, as though someone had passed by. However, upon closer inspection, it didn't seem to be there.

After a while, Master Han arrived at the Cloud Dragon's residence. The only difference was that the courtyard occupied an enormous area, displaying its brilliant dominance.

However, Han Shi saw this and shook his head. Cultivators emphasize perseverance in nature and not be tempted by everything in the world, but it was obviously impossible for Cloud Dragons, let alone perseverance in nature.

Perhaps this was the reason why even though Han Shi had cultivated to such a level, Cloud Dragon had stopped at this point.

"Senior brother Han, you've finally come. I've waited far too long for you." With a smile on his face, Yun Long walked out with large strides. From the looks of it, it seemed as though he was looking at a good friend that he hadn't seen in a long time.

Those who didn't know anything about this situation probably thought that Yun Long and Han shi were close friends of life and death.

Master Han frowned slightly. Yun Long's current appearance really made him uncomfortable, but he only changed slightly before returning to normal.

Yun Long's heart sank. Not to mention anything else, the moment he saw Master Han coming, his body felt the pressure.

His guess was right. Master Han had indeed just broken through.

Yun Long smiled and invited Master Han in before saying, "To be honest, I still need to congratulate Senior Martial Brother Han. I didn't expect you to really break through that layer and become the first Giant to successfully step through the heavenly tribulation in a thousand years."

"In the past, it was my fault, I had offended you many times. But now, you are the first person in the history of the academy. I hope you don't take it to heart, Senior Brother."

Yun Long said sincerely.

At this moment, Qing Yu walked over with an item in his hands. It was held in both hands, and there was a red cloth over it. It was unknown what it was.

"I'm sorry, but I hope that Senior Martial Brother Han can accept this." A trace of pain flashed through Yun Long's eyes, as if he had lost something precious.

On the other hand, Master Han was nodding his head in agreement. This appearance of Yun Long had left him unable to react. Then, he thought to himself, 'Let's go and have a look. I'd like to see what Yun Long is up to.'
