Endless Road: Asura's Extraordinary Journey

"Miko, what's wrong with you? Gu Ling rubbed his nose and shouted. The kick made him burst into tears.

Gu Ling looked up at the witch and found that she had grown up a lot since the last time they met. He is now 11 years old and has short hair. He has spiky brown hair and a medium build. His boyish face is in sharp contrast to the exquisite and luxurious white robe he wears. The witch is the only son of the tribal leader Hong Tian and the Hong family, and is hailed by many as a cultivation prodigy. He is The pride of the Hong family, and because of this, they indulged him throughout his life, leading to his unscrupulous attitude

"I'm just taking revenge on you for attacking me last time!"The witch exclaimed. Gu Ling was about to retort, but suddenly remembered that he was the one who attacked the witch last time when the Hong family clan met.

"Well, whatever. That was a pretty good attack. At least now you can wait until the attack starts before shouting."Gu Ling walked up to the witch and patted him hard on the back, causing the witch to stumble forward a few steps. The witch steadied herself, turned to Gu Ling and laughed."Let's go spar. We haven't sparred in almost a year.."The witch replied

"We can't just leave this tribal gathering to duel a miko."Gu Ling responded. When the witch's face showed a frustrated expression, a voice behind them made the witch's face smile again.

"Of course you can. We’re just socializing now. Lunch doesn't start for another hour."Cade said, Hong Tian nodded in agreement next to him

"Let's go, let's go, let's go!"The witch shouted happily. Gu Ling covered his face with his hands, and then agreed to the duel. Gu Ling, Gu An and the witch then left the ancestral hall and walked to the martial arts training ground. The witch jumped up and down excitedly.

Watching them leave, Hong Tian smiled and said:"Ever since Gu Ling 'rescued' the witch from the stray dog, the witch has become Gu Ling's biggest fan and supporter, even though his way of expressing this support is very strange. Speaking of Gu Ling, his senses became more and more acute. He almost dodged the goddess's kick in time. Cade smiled and replied:"Gu Ling almost committed suicide in order to become stronger, so it is natural that his senses have improved." Goddess, on the other hand, impresses me more and more each time I see him. The mist creature in the middle is only eleven years old and is a special type of mutated soul. He may be the most promising cultivator our continent has produced in the past ten thousand years. I can't help but envy his talent. By the way, have you figured out what type of variant his soul is?"

"Not yet, we've checked every source of knowledge we have and even had his soul examined by some horrific experts, but none of them can identify what type of mutation it is. Some experts want to take him on as a disciple, but now is not the time. Hong Tian replied.

After walking for a few minutes, Gu Ling, Gu An and the witch finally arrived at the military training arena. There are several sections dedicated to various aspects of military training, such as practice dummies, weight training and fighting etc. They chose an empty fighting field as the duel venue. The fighting field was paved with sand, circular in shape, about 100 meters in diameter, and surrounded by dozens of rows of spectator seats for spectators to watch the game.

Gu Ling walked to the arena At the edge, he turned to face the witch. He pulled out his giant sword and held it tightly by his side. The iron blade was four kilometers long, weighed thirty kilograms, and shone with a dark gray luster. Although Gu Ling was not a cultivator A profound practitioner, but his body is extremely strong and he can swing this huge sword with ease

"Okay, just like last time, we don't use training power, we just compete with sword skills."Gu Ling said to the witch.

The witch stopped on the other side of the arena and turned to face Gu Ling. He also pulled out a huge sword and raised it high above his head. The blade of this sword was four kilometers long. The base is four centimeters wide, and the sword is engraved with golden luster and checkered patterns. It is made of deep gold ore and is much heavier than Gu Ling's sword, weighing one hundred kilograms.

"I know, I know, but you can't beat me this time. Since you defeated me last time, I have been practicing swordsmanship almost every day. Ready!"The witch roared and rushed towards Gu Ling. Gu Ling stood firmly on the spot with his sword in his hand, waiting for the witch's attack.

The witch suddenly appeared in front of Gu Ling, raised the sword above his head with both hands, and slashed at Gu Ling. Due to the difference in mass and weight of the sword, Gu Ling knew that he could not resist the attack head-on. When the sword hit Gu Ling's head, he quickly twisted to the side, allowing the sword to barely brush his chest.

"Oh, no, you won't. Don't think I don't remember that move last time."The witch shouted, turning her arms and shoulders, turning the sword towards Gu Ling's waist. At that moment, Gu Ling realized that the witch was actually pretending to attack for the first time, with almost no effort put in, just to hit Gu Ling's best intention. Change the direction of attack when you least expect it

"boom!"

Gu Ling almost had no time to raise his sword to resist the attack, but his hasty defense allowed the witch to knock his body back ten kilometers. The witch did not miss this opportunity, rushed forward towards Gu Ling, and pointed the sword at his waist again.

Gu Ling Ling quickly steadied himself and stared at the witch's sword. A smile appeared on his face, and he raised his sword to block the incoming attack. Just when the sword was about to hit Gu Ling's waist, he suddenly squatted He lowered his body, rotated under the sword, and drew an arc towards the witch's waist with his sword.

The witch didn't expect Gu Ling to react so quickly. He had already attacked with all his strength and could not take back his sword. Suddenly, he discovered A sword was striking at his chest, and he had no time to stop him.

"boom!"

Gu Ling felt that his arm was almost broken, and his body was violently thrown across the arena, rolling several times before finally stopping.

"cough!"Gu Ling coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"Ah, sorry."The witch shouted, and he and Gu An rushed towards Gu Ling."I instinctively blocked your attack with all my strength at the last moment. Are you OK?"Mick asked while helping Gu Ling stand up.

"cough! Gu Ling coughed lightly and said,"Don't worry, I'm fine." Just need to rest for a few minutes."He brushed off the dust on his robe, took out a green pill from the storage ring, and swallowed it. Although this pill was only a low-level healing pill, it had a good effect on the minor internal injuries he suffered. Curative effect

"Let's get back to the party. This match is considered a draw."Gu Ling said to the witch with a smile. They returned to the tribal gathering hall together.

After returning to the gathering hall, Gu Ling noticed the lively atmosphere of people from the two tribes gathering together, which was a symbol of the close relationship between the two tribes. His parents were also sitting at the main table talking with the elders of the Hong family. Gu Ling, Gu An and the witch each sat down at a table close to the tribe leader. The tribe leader noticed that they were back and ended Discussion with others.

Cade stood up and addressed the crowd."Everyone, please pay attention."Cade paused and continued,"The ancient pocket kingdom."When I heard the words"Pocket Kingdom", the whole hall was boiling. The Pocket Kingdom is an ancient and mysterious kingdom. No one knows its origin and creator, but everyone knows that there are huge opportunities waiting for brave exploration. Those who want to discover it.

Cade asked everyone to calm down and continued:"This kingdom opens every twenty years. The next opening will be in less than a year. Anyone sixteen years old and under can participate. Therefore Each of our tribes will select the most promising young farmers to enter the kingdom."Unfortunately due to agreements with all participating tribes and sects we cannot directly issue entry permits. Instead, the top 100 farmers will decide on merit whether they are allowed to participate." In the weeks before the opening of the Pocket Kingdom, all participating tribes and The sect will be holding a competition to decide who will enter so do your best to take advantage of this opportunity and we will be releasing more information on this at a later date."Cade returned to his seat and began to discuss issues with Hong Tian, ​​and the excited discussion filled the hall."I can't wait to enter the Pocket Kingdom" a clan boy shouted enthusiastically

"I've heard that previous generations received all kinds of curiosities and precious opportunities inside." another person replied

"Humph, look at these frogs, every one of them is so self-righteous."Every important thing in the Pocket Kingdom belongs to you, Senior Brother Li Ke." A boy said

"Yep. With Li Ke here, no one else can expect to get anything good."At a table in the middle, a group of young people gathered around Li Ke and flattered him to the best of their ability. Although he didn't say a word, the arrogant look on his face revealed his inner pride.

"It's really pitiful to look at how they flatter Li Ke."They have nothing to gain from pleasing him anyway," said Guin."

Gu Ling glanced at the young people at the table, but said nothing. For him, anything related to Li Ke and his gang had nothing to do with him.

When the celebration ended, the sun was setting in the west, and Hong The family is getting ready to go home

"Goodbye, old friend, it's great to see you again after so long."I'll see you in the Kingdom of Fear in a few weeks," Waylon told Cade as he stood up to leave. The other clans followed, and the miko followed suit. He turned around and waved goodbye to Gu Ling and Gu An, and then left with his family.

After the celebration, Gu Ling said good night to Gu An and others, and then returned to his mansion with his parents. When he was about to go upstairs to his room, his mother stopped him

"Gu Ling, can you take these party gifts and put them in the cellar?"Gu Yingying (female name) asked

"Of course," Gu Ling replied.

He took a few bottles of wine handed to him by his mother and walked towards the back of the mansion, towards the cellar door. After passing through several rooms, Gu Ling came to the cellar door. Open the door and look down the stairs to the basement

"Now that I think about it, I guess I never actually went down to the basement. Don’t know what it looks like inside? Gu Ling thought as he went downstairs.

When he reached the bottom of the stairs, Gu Ling looked around the spacious cellar and the items inside. He saw various things stored there, including wine boxes, weapons, books, medicinal Ingredients, etc. After walking past the weapons rack and bookshelf, Gu Ling came to the cellar where the wine was stored. He put the wine can on a shelf and turned around to leave.

Just as Gu Ling was about to go upstairs, he felt something moving inside his body , urging him to look back.
