"How could it be this difficult?" Huo Xiaochेन emerged from the quiet chamber, his face dark.
He had chosen a Spirit Bone Cultivation Method in high spirits, intending to contend with the Spirit Bone Prodigies. Who would have thought that, after more than a month, he would not even have touched the threshold of Entry?

His true enemy was Xu Yang, not Sun Tao. Sun Tao had acted out of loyalty to a fellow disciple, and Xu Yang was the one who had beaten Lin Jingyu to death.
Given the chance, he certainly would not mind slaughtering Sun Tao, but
