Julanj

With the pills, Wu Chen realized all his craziest torture fantasies without holding back.

Wu Yi was a touchy guy but even he eventually screamed in agonizing pain.

His screams could be heard in that corner of the Wu mansion from day to night.

He was no longer human and judging from his screams, he was not even any of the animals known to humanity.

Two years went by with Wu Yi still at the mercy of Wu Chen and his torture skills.

He had been moved into a basement of one of the more isolated residences in the mansion. His screams could no longer reach the surface.

The toe. That had once praised him as a genius had all but forgotten the name, Wu Yi.

His fame had been like a shooting star. It had shone brightly overshadowing all other geniuses but it was done fast.

These days, only their names were at the top of the young generation in the town.

Wu Chen was one of these three geniuses.

Wu Chen was sure to eliminate all evidence of Wu Yi.

He had succeeded.

"The Lion Heart Dojo is coming to town next week to choose disciples." said supervisor Wu as the entire family enjoyed their dinner.

The only missing person was Wu Yi.

No one brought up his name at this table in the past two years.

Wu Chen had grown into a handsome young man and his younger sister, Wu Li who was now just twelve years old was beginning to show herself to be a future beauty like her mother Wu Lin.

Wu Lin looked at the supervisor with disbelief.

The Lion Heart Dojo was the fifth most powerful martial arts faction in the Cloud Empire.

They had thousands of disciples and had never recruited disciples. All those interested in joining the dojo had to go to their domain in the Lion Heart Commandery where they would be given countless rigorous tests and if they passed, they would then be given the chance to start as servants in the dojo before they could work their way to become official disciples.

The dojo had branches in all fifty commanders and their influence over the entire empire was not to be underestimated.

When the supervisor saw the looks of confusion on his family's faces, he explained further.

"They are looking for talented juniors to fight in the upcoming July.

They will be relaxing their entry requirements for this recruitment so that they do not miss out on any geniuses."

When Wu Chen heard about the Julanj, he almost went out of his mind.

The Julanj was a tournament held only once in fifty years in the Jianghu. This tournament attracted martial artists from all over the Sky continent.

All these martial artists fought with only one goal in mind, Victory at all cost.

The prizes for each Julanj are always unique treasures of heaven and earth that can propel one further along the path of a martial artist.

It was even rumored that the winner of the Julanj was given an even greater opportunity to further his cultivation by joining one of the mysterious Spirit Sects.

By joining a spirit sect, one would have access to formidable skills and techniques that would give them the power to flip the oceans and under the heavens with a single move. When one joined the Spirit Sects, they would stop being a part of the Jianghu and they would no longer be called martial artists but Spirit cultivators.

Spirit cultivators were rumored to have the ability to soar through the sky and burrow through the earth.

They were no longer considered mortals since they lived for hundreds of years while eating immortal fruits and drinking immoral spirits.

Such legends had spread over the sky continent for thousands of years.

These rumors were reinforced by the fact that previous Julanj winners always disappeared from the public after their victory.

The desire for more power and immortality attracted many martial artists to the Julanj.

The only requirement for one to join was that they had to be fifty years old and below.

"When is the Julanj?"Wu Li asked in a soft timid voice.

Supervisor Wu was surprised that she was the first to ask the most crucial question.

He loved this daughter of his more than anything else.

Wu Chen felt a twinge of jealousy towards his sister.

"It will be held in just ten years from now."

Wu Chen our on a serious look.

He had been practicing the Quick Slash skill the same as the rest of his family including his mother Wu Lin and Wu Li.

Wu Chen was the most talented in his family. The Quick Slash skill had only five stages.

Wu Chen had reached the third stage and he was about to reach the fourth.

The supervisor had reached the second stage and the two girls were still km the first stage.

Wu Chen looked at his father.

With determination in his eyes, he spoke.

"I will join the Lion Heart Dojo."

His words filled the room but the supervisor was not impressed.

Wu Chen could not understand the reason for this.

He had the best chance of being chosen.

"The Lion Heart dojo will be recruiting anyone below forty years of age. Since this is the case, our entire family will be joining the dojo.

We will become a martial family.

We have achieved all the fame and power we can achieve in the mortal world. We will now seek fame and power in the Jianghu. After that, we will try our luck among the immortals." said the supervisor. His voice was filled with great ambition and an unquenchable thirst for power.

His entire family was shaken by his words.

Clap, clap, clap, clap, Wu Li, the youngest member of the family capped with joy.

Supervisor Wu smiled at her with deep love forcing Wu Chen to look away.

This was when he remembered something g important.

"You said our entire family!"Wu Chen spoke with confusion.

The entire family included Wu Yi.
