That cheerful night ends with a fine dinner cooked by Long Feng's mother for the three of them.(Hong Yue as well). With the dinner finished and since Long Feng already passed the Cultivation Pellets to his mother, they decided to call it a night and return to their own bedroom.

Lan Hua is happy with her child's filialness, and without wasting the kind effort, she immediately refines the Cultivation Pellets and starts to temper her body that was neglected for long.

Up to the quality of Middle-Rank and Upper Ranked Pellets, Lan Hua tempering attempt going smoothly, and without any resistance from her body, Lan Hua's Elemental Essence within her body quickly burst out from her body, revealing an increase of a full stage of cultivation.

But that is not all, with her cultivation stage increased, Lan Hua spends no time wasted, and swallowed three pills that were prepared years ago in her waist pouch.

"Luckily Brother Tang had prepared this few pills for me up front a few years ago." Lan Hua revealed three different pills within the pouch.

An Upper-Rank Second-Grade Stage Boost Stage Pellet.

An Upper-Rank Second-Grade Refinement Pellet.

An Upper-Rank Second-Grade YinYang Cleansing Pellet.

Swallowing the three high-quality pellets into her body and tempering her body with it, Lan Hua's cultivation quickly rises, from a mere Earth Refinement Tier into a Human Adept Tier, and her increase of strength does not stop here.

Her cultivation continued to rise as she consumes and refine that three pellets and finally, he cultivation stopped at Peak Practitioner Tier.

"Since Xiao Feng already met with Brother Tang and also becoming his direct disciple, I suppose I have no other worries. I have to start to recover my strength, and soon, that kid going to know what really happened with our family." Lan Hua speaks with herself in her mind, as she continues to refine her body to make her body able to handle the sudden increase in strength.

Meanwhile, Long Feng cultivates himself by absorbing the surrounding Fire and Wood Elemental Essence and managed to push his cultivation close to Early Heaven Refinement Tier.

But the biggest fortune could be seen on Hong Yue.

The fat lizard hopped out from the opened window and takes a few rounds of a walk outside of the house. But in the middle of its walk, Hong Yue's body suddenly felt like burning, as the lizard rolls on the ground, trying to sooth the burning heat came out from its body.

As Hong Yue rolls on the ground, the scales fall at a greater speed, and soon, Hong Yue's previous scales had all fallen from its skin.

Continuously behind, a set of new reptilian scales starts to grow within Hong Yue's body, resembling a type of scales only could be owned by a dragon. The scales grow at an outrageous speed, and within moments, the scales totally wrapped Hong Yue's body.

His old claws fall, replaced by a set of brand new claws, similar to how a mole's claw is looked alike. Hong Yue's head started to grow a horn, not straight like a unicorn, but it has a few indescribable features as if there is a line of ancient runes carved on it.

Hong Yue's body is the next to grow. From a height of a walking infant into as tall as Long Feng when standing, Hong Yue could be seen as a growing Lizard-man, with the lower limbs is finally grow into walking foot.

Two wing look alike point appeared behind Hong Yue's spine, almost indicating that there will be a pair of wings to grows out from, but perhaps it was due to the insufficient concentration of blood lineage, the pair of wings failed to grow.

Hong Yue strength increases greatly along with his transformation, and from a mere Earth Refinement Stage Beast, It strength increased into a full Heaven Refinement Tier, and brings it into a strong contender, even when fighting against an Adept Tier Beast.

Although this change is not a rarity among the beast, soon in future, Long Feng will get to know the name of the bloodline holds by Hong Yue's transformation.

Silver Scales Wyvern Emperor - Metal Elemental Ferocious Beast.

Although Hong Yue strength is not even a mere 1% of the Silver Scales Wyvern Emperor, the less than 1% strength, could still allow Hong Yue to be quite a strong beast within Clear Jade City or Thunderburst Jade City.

Main Base of the Shadow Gate's Operation.

Today, a competition to choose the next generation of the Top Ten strongest Shadow Warriors is held within the base, and currently, the end of the competition is near.

Every three years, there will be a selection, and this time is the tenth time of the competition is being held.

Currently within the Coliseum, a total of 15 competitors is still standing within.

One of the few favorites, Lin Dong.

Another favorite, Niu Gu.

On the spectators Tower, Commander Meng Yun is seen looking the fight with another two of his most loyal subordinates.

"Commander seems like Lin Dong will grab the first seat among the top ten. Should I go down and recruit him into our team?" one of the subordinate beside Meng Yun speaks.

"Yes. Go ahead and represent me to recruit him." Commander Meng Yun answered, but his sight is laid on one of the 15 participants that managed to gain his attention.

"Yang Jian, what do you think about that kid with daggers within his cape?" Commander Meng Yun questioned his subordinate.

"Yang Jian feels that this kid is preserving his strength, and only take his chances when he has seen fits. This kid is the child of the first generation's first seat, Yao Ming. His name is called Yao An." Yang Jian replied.

"First Generation's first seat, I got no idea that his child will be within this competition as well." Commander Meng Yun replied.

The match soon quickly become even more challenging, where the final 11 participants start to reveal their strongest move.

As the 11th participant starts to get defeated and fallen into the darkness below the coliseum, the other handler of the Coliseum appeared around the Coliseum perimeters, and prepare to save the remaining ten participants if they are defeated.

This is also the final challenge, to determine their seats within the top ten!

With each of the participants starts to get serious, six among the ten got defeated within three to four minutes, and the seventh person falls at his seventh minutes.

The final three participants, is Niu Gu, Lin Dong, and Yao An.

Niu Gu is well versatile with the air walking style martial arts, where it allows him to remain on the air for a longer period of time compared to the other two.

Lin Dong is known as the Strongest since young, possessing a total of four different body enhancement Martial Arts.

Yao An is not well known within the junior generation, but since he is the only child of the previous First Seat, Yao Ming, it is assumed that he should be well trained with Shadow Art, the strongest martial art of Yao Ming himself.

"Lin Dong, you will be the first to fall between the three of us!" Niu Gu charges towards Lin Dong, with his long spear.

"Niu Gu, as usual, you always overestimate your own capability." Lin Dong turned around and prepare to receive the attack directly.

"Triple Piercing Spear!" Niu Gu launches his attack, which has a three continuously hit towards Lin Dong. The moment the spear managed to be blocked on its first attack, Niu Gu will place a punch on the pommel of his spear as the second piercing attack, before he ends it with a strong kick on the spear again.

But facing Lin Dong, this Triple Piercing Spear seems to lose its piercing strength.

"Golden Body Martial Art, Bronze Bell Martial Art, Iron Vein Martial Art, Silver Muscle Martial Art!" Lin Dong stands firm as he blocks the Triple Piercing Spear.

"Metal Elemental Holy Body!" Lin Dong shouted the name of his martial art, as he bounces Niu Gu away from him.

Niu Gu received a bounce back of all the impact he has done on Lin Dong, and vomit a huge amount of blood as he falls to the darkness.

But at the end, he was saved by one of the handlers of the Coliseum.

Xiao An, it's only you and me now, come!" Lin Dong stands firm again, as he pushes his Metal Elemental Holy Body into its maximum strength.

"Big Brother Lin Dong, please get ready, Xiao An will have no strength in this move!" Yao An makes a few step, almost like a dance.

"First Move of Shadow Dagger Art! Ring of Shadow Dagger!" a total of 10 dagger flies out from the cape, and forms a sphere of flying daggers as Yao An danced with two last dagger on his both hand.

"Big Brother Lin Dong, receive this move!" Yao An stopped his dance, as he throws his two daggers towards Lin Dong, and leading the Ring of Shadow Dagger follows the path of trajectory.

The Ring of Shadow Dagger contains a total of 144 different impacts, with each dagger hitting a total of 12 times.

Failed to even resist at least half of the impacts, Lin Dong is thrown behind, vomiting blood from his mouth after facing a mere 10 Strikes from the Ring of Shadow Dagger.

"Stop the fight! The results are out between the fight!" Commander Meng Yun jumps into the coliseum and destroys the Ring of Shadow Dagger without any effort at all.

"Commander." Yao An bowed and greet Meng Yun.

"Argh... Commander." Lin Dong who was injured and successfully received by the Coliseum staff pay his greeting as well.

"You both are talented Shadow Gate scouts. I don't want any of you died by our own people. If you wish to be dead, go to the opposing forces and take their leader's head as your payment to request for a death!" Commander Meng Yun praises them for their strength, and at the same time, lectured them for their recklessness.

"Subordinate understood!" both Lin Dong and Yao An replied.

"Good! Now go back to prepare and receive your tag of identity, as from tomorrow, you both, and you all, will follow me to hunt for a special Ferocious Beast!" Commander Meng Yun speaks as he looked at the two of them, and turn around looking at the remaining 8 finalists.

"May subordinate ask where is this location we are heading towards?" One of the finalists dares himself to ask for the place they will head toward.

"Star Jade Mountain! North of the Capital city of Brilliant Jade Kingdom!" Commander Meng Yun answered the finalist's question.

"What? Are we going to the Star Jade Mountain? Commander, please tell this subordinate, are we hunting the rumored beast that was the main topic within the Capital?" the finalist asks his final question.

"Yes! We are going to hunt the rumored Ferocious Beast, only known as [KWAI]." Commander Meng Yun answered.

Hearing his answer, all the other finalist started to understand the difficulty of this task. And within their mind after hearing all the rumors, a visual of a Shining Silver Python with the length of around 20 feet and weigh around 10 ton.
