A Man's Insanity: A Changing World

A world, where people use others for their benefit. Where beasts run rampant. Cleverness was in the veins of humans. A single decision could change the lives of many. Humans were clever, beasts possessed power, and a being contained secrets of heaven and earth. But humans went against heaven and created what they called techniques. A war was a result of their folly. But war results in someone being a victor and makes them even more powerful. Many secrets, which were buried in dust. A history that shocked even the heavens. A man whose kindness resulted in a regret. To whom the righteous path and demonic path were just tools. *****/*****

Endra

"Next!" Jaen Fen's name is shouted.

Jaen Fen came forward and placed his hand on the stone. The stone cracked and broke. The wisps that it released shocked others more than before.

"Rank 4 early stage! Is he the son of a higher-up as well?!"

"No, I know almost all the children of the higher-ups, there is nobody supposed to be someone like him."

"On top of that, he only seems to be around fifteen years old!"

"Something seems to be fishy here."

Jaen Fen saw the situation changing.

As I expected, everyone is getting suspicious of me: thought Jaen Fen.

Even after using all the resources provided by the sect, Jun Yi barely managed to reach the rank 3 Peak stage. So how the hell did this kid, whose identity is unknown, reach rank 4?

As such, everyone was shocked more than before.

"No, you guys are misunderstanding something here. I am not fifteen years old, but nineteen. Even older than my three friends here. The reason I look younger is because of a Ka I have been using to suppress my physical growth."

Jaen Fen raised his voice, ensuring everyone could hear him clearly.

"The hell…"

Nineteen years old?! This kid?

Everyone had this question in mind.

Even though Jaen Fen's face was burned, his skin was visible from a few places. Along with his height and his overall appearance, anyone could guess after a little observation that this kid was around fifteen years old.

But recognizing his face was impossible.

"Anyway, let's go. We are just wasting time here."

After commenting on this, Jaen Fen walked away.

His new group was awakened from their daze and followed Jaen Fen.

"Jaen Fen, what Ka are you using? I am still in shock from what you said earlier." Min Jae asks Jaen Fen.

Jaen Fen didn't answer and continued walking.

After a while, they walked up a wall.

"Aren't I the leader of this group? Why are we following Jaen Fen?" Jun Yi's eyes twitched.

"And when did you become the leader of this group?" Ha Eun was annoyed by Jun Yi again.

"I am impressed with your personality; how do you get annoyed so easily by Jun Yi?" Ji Woo looked at Ha Eun.

Jaen Fen looked outside the village and saw blood everywhere. Corpses of the water hounds were littered everywhere. However, the water hounds were trying to walk over these corpses to enter the Luo Sect.

Cultivators were positioned in rows on the wall around the village to eliminate the hounds. When one cultivator's essence water or purified rays were depleted, another would take their place.

Rank 4 cultivators primarily observed the Rank 3 cultivators, stepping in only when necessary to assist in dealing with the hounds. They were also tasked with maintaining the defense during the replacement process.

Jaen Fen looks at the situation and comments,

"The real phase of their attack has not begun yet. I wondered when that would be?"

When the other four heard this, they were confused.

"Jaen, what do you mean?" Ha Eun asked.

"Did you guys notice that there is no higher rank beast among these hounds? There are only rank 1 and rank 2 hounds here, not even rank 3."

"Come to think of it, you are right. For the past month, I didn't hear about a higher rank beast attacking the village." Jun Yi agreed.

"But what does that mean?" Min Jae inquired.

"That means that they are just playing with us, making us drop our guards. Along with that, also wasting our resources. They will attack us when we are the most unprepared."

"Not just that, I am sure that this will be when it's raining intensely. At that moment, their strength would increase, whereas we would have problems."

"If I recall correctly, it has rained intensely only twice in the past month. The next time it happens, I'm certain they will launch their strongest attack. We must be prepared."

Jaen Fen warned.

If they do manage to succeed, this village will be stormed by unending waves of beasts. No rank 5 cultivators would be able to protect the whole village, even I will have difficulty then. I need to prevent this outcome: Jaen Fen reflects.

"How do you know? Couldn't it be because they don't have many high-ranking beasts?" Jun Yi was doubtful.

"You really believe that this army of hounds don't have high-ranking beasts? I can understand rank 5 or even rank 4, but what about rank 3?" Jaen Fen looks at Jun Yi.

"This…" Jun Yi fell silent.

"When did rank 3 become high rank?" Jaen Fen asked again. The other four didn't answer.

"You mentioned that your father is the sect leader, right? Go and warn him to prepare in advance. They'll wait until the corpses accumulate. Once enough bodies have piled up outside the village, and the rain intensifies, they will undoubtedly strike."

"If they manage to breach the village wall, this village will be doomed."

"But, how do you know all this?" Ha Eun inquired.

"I am nineteen already and have been traveling this world for three years already. About a year ago, this happened when I was resting in another sect. After the breach, that village was annihilated in just a single night." Jaen Fen replied.

"But, he won't simply believe an outsider." Ji Woo was worried.

"No, he doesn't need to believe us. Just tell him that it's better to be cautious than not. We just need to fend off the first attack. After that, they will believe in us themselves." Jaen Fen smiles.

"Help me, these hounds are trying to enter the village!" They heard a shout.

Jaen Fen looked and saw that on one side, the corpses had already piled up close to the height of the wall. Many hounds were trying to jump into the village from there.

"Move to the side!" Yang Zhai moved his hand forward and activated a Ka he had just bought.

When he did that, a blast happened near the corpses, scattering the corpses. He did it thrice and moved back after confirming that it was safe.

The blasts that happened were because of Endra. This was a rank 3 Ka.

He had bought this Ka alone for eight thousand essence stones. This Ka was considered one of the top Kas to exist in the rank 3 attack type Kas. Because of this, he had to purchase a rank 2 Ka for a thousand essence stones.

"Jaen Fen, we will believe you and force our parents to deploy more rank 4 cultivators the next time it rains intensely along with many more rank 3 cultivators." Ji Woo nodded with a smile.
