Dividing the Profits

Loach Street, Wang Family.

Wang Sheng asked Wei Yu to finish healing her injuries before coming to find him. He himself went to the seclusion chamber. Now is not the time for leisure; cultivation is the most important thing.

After sitting down, Wang Sheng took off his Iron Armor and first checked the spoils he had hidden inside: a cultivation manual, an iron token, and several gold ingots.

These were all he could find; the rest of the items had been destroyed.

"Lone Star Fist, the moves are quite flashy, but not as profound as the White Dragon Sword Technique. I'll put it aside for now."

"It's a shame there's no record of that secret technique to enlarge the right arm."

Wang Sheng flipped through the cultivation manual but didn't find the secret technique, feeling quite regretful.

"This token, what's this drawing of mandarin ducks on it? What is this thing!"

Wang Sheng examined the iron token, feeling somewhat strange. It didn't look like a sect emblem, but more like a token of affection, a love token perhaps?

However, Wang Sheng quickly tossed all these things aside.

"The most important thing now is cultivation. For me, anything involving fighting and killing is purely a waste of time."

"If Yu Mu hadn't called me out, this whole mess wouldn't have happened. This time, using the excuse of healing, I must seize the opportunity to cultivate and become stronger as quickly as possible."

Wang Sheng felt a sense of urgency and crisis. The world had truly descended into chaos.

Today, they could destroy the Lone Star Sect under Zhao Jie's leadership.

Tomorrow, they might encounter an enemy ambush and counterattack.

If Zhao Jie died, all his disciples would suffer.

For others, the Martial Path was about contention.

But for Wang Sheng, the Martial Path first required stability!

Several days passed in a flash.

Because the Forging Gold Technique had the fastest progress, Wang Sheng was currently primarily cultivating Forging Gold Technique, with Great Tablet Shattering Hand and White Dragon Sword Technique as auxiliary practices.

With the support of the Great Heaven Supplement Pill, Forging Gold Technique advanced rapidly at a rate of about a hundred points per day. It soon reached the peak of the mid-stage Dark Energy, Great Accomplishment (1945/3000). It was only half a day's cultivation away from the late-stage Dark Energy.

Great Tablet Shattering Hand progressed much slower. More than half of the initial stage of Dark Energy was completed, reaching Great Accomplishment (589/3000).

White Dragon Sword Technique was still in the Bright Energy stage. Even though its progress was similar to Great Tablet Shattering Hand, it appeared to have improved significantly, reaching the late stage of Bright Energy, Minor Accomplishment (648/1000), not far from Dark Energy.

It was at this time that Luo Zhengwen arrived, bringing Wang Sheng good news.

The Demonic Cult had been driven away.

The Demonic Cult members in Ershui City had basically vanished without a trace. Even the martial arts experts who had fled from Southern Ridge Prefecture were significantly fewer.

It was unclear whether these experts had been driven away or killed by the locals as members of the Demonic Cult.

In short, not only had Ershui City returned to normal, but many forces had also been severely weakened by the Demonic Cult during the recent war. This left them unable to control the benefits they had gained, attracting the division of spoils by other forces.

The Zhao Family Martial Arts Academy was one of the forces that could partake in this division.

Therefore, Zhao Jie summoned all disciples to compete with other forces.

Wang Sheng cursed Zhao Jie inwardly for summoning everyone at the slightest provocation. As a mere early-stage Bright Energy cultivator, what use would he be?

But Zhao Jie was concerned with appearances and loved the feeling of having a large entourage, so the more disciples, the better.

Wang Sheng had no choice but to leave seclusion and follow Luo Zhengwen to the Zhao Family Martial Arts Academy.

Zhao Jie might not know how many disciples had arrived. But he would certainly know who hadn't.

Zhao Family Martial Arts Academy.

In the center of the courtyard, a group of Dark Energy stage Senior Brothers gathered, engaged in lively discussion.

Li Hu, Qi Changsheng, and others could only stand aside, awaiting orders.

As soon as Wang Sheng and Luo Zhengwen entered the martial academy, Wei Yu, who had long been annoyed by the gazes of these Dark Energy Senior Brothers, strode towards Wang Sheng with her long legs.

Originally, Wei Yu had been somewhat hesitant about submitting to Wang Sheng.

But this morning, when she saw that these Dark Energy Senior Brothers were all middle-aged, ugly, and had multiple wives, she understood Wang Sheng's appeal.

He was handsome, strong, and most importantly, potent!

"Greetings, Senior Sister Wei!"

Wang Sheng immediately called out respectfully, seeing that Wei Yu was about to reveal her feelings.

Wei Yu's steps faltered. Her initially delighted expression flickered, and she immediately composed herself, giving a slightly haughty nod, "You've arrived."

"Yes, Senior Sister Wei, do you have any news?"

Luo Zhengwen asked.

Wei Yu hesitated and glanced at Wang Sheng.

However, Luo Zhengwen misinterpreted her meaning, thinking Wang Sheng couldn't be trusted with the information.

"Junior Brother, wait for me over there first,"

Luo Zhengwen said.

"No, no!"

Wei Yu quickly waved her hands and said in a low voice, "Master Zhao's son, Senior Brother Feipeng, was hit by a palm strike from a Dark Energy master of the Demonic Cult a couple of days ago."

Luo Zhengwen's eyes widened, and his expression was incredibly excited.

Wang Sheng's expression also changed.

If Zhao Feipeng took a palm strike from a Dark Energy master, especially a full-power blow from a Great Martial Master of Dark Energy, he would be crippled even if he didn't die.

How could he advance to Dark Energy if he was crippled!

Then Zhao Jie's Dark Energy cultivation method might have to be passed on to someone else!

"No wonder there are so many Dark Energy Senior Brothers here today!"

Luo Zhengwen suddenly realized that the Dark Energy cultivation method had nothing to do with him. Why was he so excited? He calmed his mood and said in a low voice.

As for the Dark Energy masters who had already graduated, unless Zhao Jie explicitly ordered someone to come, they could basically refuse such a general summons by claiming they were busy.

"Mmm, I didn't see Li Hu, Qi Changsheng, and the others who are at Grand Perfection of Bright Energy, all eagerly crowding around, trying to get in good with him in advance!"

Wei Yu said with a faint smile.

"Senior Sister, why aren't you going?"

Luo Zhengwen asked in confusion.

"Scram!"

Wei Yu shouted fiercely, scaring Luo Zhengwen, who grabbed Wang Sheng and was about to leave.

"He can't go, he's staying. You can scram!"

Wei Yu continued.

Luo Zhengwen's eyes widened. He looked at Wang Sheng, then at Wei Yu, and only when he saw Wei Yu's face turn red did he look as if he had seen a ghost. He couldn't believe that this aloof, long-legged Senior Sister had fallen for Wang Sheng.

Was Senior Sister blind?

Or did good looks count as food!

For a moment, Luo Zhengwen felt both envious and jealous. It was the kind of feeling where you worry about your brother not doing well, but also worry about him doing too well.

Luo Zhengwen didn't know about Land Rovers, but he knew that Wei Yu, with her Grand Perfection of Bright Energy, fair skin, beautiful face, and long legs, was definitely more impressive than a car!

Luo Zhengwen gave Wang Sheng a thumbs-up, "Awesome! You're really awesome!"

Then Luo Zhengwen immediately left, not wanting to disturb them.

Wang Sheng was helpless and could only plan to walk aside with Wei Yu to talk privately.

However, Wu An suddenly stepped forward and blocked their path.

"Junior Brother Wang Sheng, I heard that you achieved nothing in the pursuit of the Demonic Cult this time and have been recuperating at home. Could it be that you are a coward and afraid to kill?"

"This Senior Brother followed Master to kill enemies and was rewarded with many pills, and I am about to advance to the middle stage of Bright Energy. But I have always wanted to spar with Junior Brother. Once I reach the middle stage of Bright Energy, I won't be able to make a move."

"So, before I advance, I'd like to ask Junior Brother for some pointers. Do you dare to accept the challenge!"

Wu An said with a gentle smile, wearing a long gown, with one hand behind his back. Coupled with his handsome appearance, he exuded a refined aura, earning the admiration of many junior brothers.

Originally, he didn't even take Wang Sheng seriously, but he didn't expect Wang Sheng to hook up with Senior Sister Wei Yu, and then attract the attention of a Dark Energy Senior Brother.

So Wu An had no choice but to step forward and step on this Junior Brother heavily, then slap him, in order to gain the approval of the Dark Energy Senior Brother.

Wang Sheng didn't look at Wu An, but turned his head to look at a Dark Energy Senior Brother who was looking in their direction.

Most of this Dark Energy Senior Brother's gaze was on Wei Yu, and when he occasionally looked at Wang Sheng, there was a hint of coldness.

"Is it intuition?"

Yu Cheng, the Dark Energy Senior Brother who had been discovered, frowned slightly.

However, Yu Cheng didn't care. A mere Bright Energy practitioner, what right did he have to covet the woman he fancied.

So he smiled and pointed his finger at Wang Sheng, his posture arrogant, his threatening gaze piercing, then he waved his palm slightly, as if to say, 'Get lost, and don't get close to Wei Yu.'

"Each and every one of them is so full of themselves, aren't they afraid of death!"

Wang Sheng thought to himself. Looking at Wu An in front of him, and then at Yu Cheng not far away, he suddenly smiled.

He truly didn't like killing people, but unfortunately, they put their heads on the chopping block and asked, 'Do you dare to kill? Do you dare? Do you dare?'
