Who is the waste?

  The Double Blade Sect is located at the foot of the Tulong Mountain Range, with its back against a giant peak and facing towards Hanshui Province. On the mountain, there are flying springs and silver waterfalls hanging upside down for three thousand feet, with the mountains and waters blending into one color, extremely beautiful and elegant.

  Early in the morning, on a mountain peak behind the Double Blade Sect, a white-clad youth stood quietly on a green stone, his body as straight as a sword, his feet rooted to the ground like they were nailed to it, not moving at all; his eyes were slightly closed, slowly circulating his breath.

  The young man in white had a long streak of good fortune, with nine true energies like nine white dragons surrounding his body, making him as sharp and formidable as a divine sword.

  Fierce and sharp air, like a flying knife, wandering between mountain peaks, bending the strong grass, making ancient trees shed leaves rustling. Such a powerful breath, even for those who control the soul of the divine soldier after condensing their energy and spirit, it is difficult to achieve.

  The young man in white was named Li Ke, seventeen years old this year. He had a clear and refined face, with a calmness that was rarely seen among his peers. Li Ke was a disciple of the Double Blade Sect.

  Shuangdao Sect is one of the four major sects in Hanshui region, with a renowned leader named Yi Daisheng. He wields the powerful Soul Snake Scales Twin Blades, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies across the southern lands. His cultivation has reached the Transformation Realm Master level, allowing him to unleash devastating attacks that can kill enemies from ten miles away.

  One of the four great masters of Tiān Nán Hán Zhōu!

  Snake Scale Knife - Yi Dai!

  Shuangdao Zong occupies the entire Tulong Mountain range in the eastern part of Hanshui Province, covering tens of thousands of miles, with a majestic momentum, and each giant peak is like a Tulong treasure sword, standing tall with an immortal name.

  On the giant peak, pavilions and buildings are scattered along the mountain stream, like a fairyland.

  There were tens of thousands of disciples in the Double Blade Sect, and miscellaneous chores were countless.

  The Shuangdao Sect holds a high position in Hansheng, and even the lowest-ranking servants within the sect cultivate their skills. Many of these servants have risen to prominence, condensing their energy and awakening their own martial souls, earning them the true title of "Martial Artist".

  Li Ke's identity is very special. Two years ago, he came to the Double Blade Sect and handed over an item that countless people on the Divine Continent had been dreaming of to the sect master Yi Dai. After that, he got Yi Dai's response and was left in the Double Blade Sect, and he decided to put in effort to cultivate him. He also didn't disappoint Yi Dai.

  In just half a year, Li Ke showed incredible talent and terrifying cultivation speed. In that short time, he accumulated three divine sword auras within his body, reaching the third layer of the Qi Condensation Realm, earning him the reputation as the number one genius of the Double Blade Sect.

  But from then on, Li Ke's troubles came one after another. Even once, he found a familiar flavor of Lingcao - the taste of dispersing gas fruit in his own meal. Fortunately, he had some understanding of the vicious Lingcao, otherwise he would have fallen into the same trap again.

  Disperse Qi Fruit, as the name suggests, is to disperse the divine energy of one's body, turning it into waste, requiring re-cultivation.

  The way of survival is like this, even a miscellaneous role in the Double Blade Sect always thinks about becoming a true warrior, controlling one's own divine soldier soul, achieving the supreme path.

  At that time, Li Ke was no longer the past Li Ke. He deeply understood the truth, so he didn't expose the matter of the scattered fruit in the meal and pretended to eat all the food. Afterward, he intentionally slept for three days and three nights. When he woke up, he had a truly scattered appearance, as if his divine energy had dissipated. From then on, he was extremely low-key and never showed his true strength in front of outsiders.

  Although the name of genius was slowly replaced, suffered cold shoulders and ridicule, but his life was left behind, no need to spend time on guard against others, can use a lot of time to cultivate.

  Now, Li Ke has once again recovered to his former strength, reaching the ninth level of the Condensing Qi Realm. His power is absolutely first among the outer disciples of the Double Blade Sect, outstanding and exceptional. However, even so, he still hasn't revealed his true strength.

  "Hah!" "Hah!" "Hah!"......

  On the bluestone, nine divine soldiers' auras revolved around Li Ke's body like a dragon whirlwind, suddenly, in an instant, the nine divine soldiers' auras rushed into his body, transforming into nine surging torrents that poured into his heart.

  The heart is an independent space for a soldier, because a soldier's life is his martial soul, and the martial soul is in the heart.

  Condense energy and connect with the soul, this soul is the martial soul, the source of life for warriors!

  Mobilizing the divine soldiers' energy for the final gathering, Li Ke was trying to make a breakthrough to the ninth layer of the Qi condensation realm. The white divine soldiers' energy surged in like waves, like white dragons rushing into his body.

  About an hour later, "Hum!" A loud noise, Li Ke's body shook violently, and a very fierce aura suddenly swept out, the air was like waves, rolling layer by layer, the trees were shaken constantly, leaves filled the sky, and the green stone underfoot also shattered into countless pieces with a "crackling" sound.

  "Hmm... I've finally reached the 9th level of Qi Condensation, Late Soul Connection! Once I return to the Double Blade Sect and break through in the Martial Law Pavilion, becoming a high-ranking martial artist, I'll be able to hold my head high and let those who underestimated me, plotted against me, know the consequences of offending me!"

  "The Li family's tyranny will end, our three-year agreement is near, I'll arrive on time! When the time comes, I'll use my flying dagger to make you know that I'm the son of the Overlord! Even if I've been framed, I'll rise again and defeat all of you!"

  "Zhongzhou Ice Soul Tower, sooner or later, I, Li Ke, will definitely trample you flat! Reduce you to ashes!"

  Thinking of the tragedies that had befallen him, Li Ke's eyes shot out waves of fierce anger, his fists clenched with a cracking sound.

  "Brush!"

  Suddenly, Li Ke's right hand stretched out violently, and on his hand, a milky white flying knife flashed with cold light, spinning wildly.

  All that could be seen was this milky white flying knife, with a clear outline, three inches seven parts, rapidly rotating in his palm, the speed getting faster and faster, gradually, it emitted one after another sharp air currents, the blade slowly had a bright light, only the color was a bit dim.

  A sharp aura shot out in all directions, shredding every falling leaf into powder.

  Condense energy into soldiers!

  It is the phenomenon of the ninth layer of the soul after the condensation of Qi, and for a cultivator of Bingyuan, the cultivation of Bingyuan is a whole new world. Condensing Qi to connect with the soul, activating one's own divine soldier soul, becoming a master!

  The Double Knife Sect has tens of thousands of people, and many people may not have the hope to reach this realm in their lifetime, but Li Ke has reached this enviable height twice.

  A moment later, the fallen leaves dispersed, and the flying knife in Li Ke's hand also slowly dissipated into a wisp of white smoke.

  Slowly opening his eyes, a look of relief appeared in Li Ke's eyes, and he secretly said: "Two years have passed, and finally the tyrannical energy has been cultivated to the ninth level of the extreme realm, reaching the ninth level of the condensing gas boundary, but this... is just the beginning!"

  Li Ke's mind was very clear, among the many disciples of the Double Blade Sect, only he had no background or backing. Although he had used that item to exchange for the sect master Yi Dai's acceptance, it could only make Yi Dai cultivate him well and settle him down, nothing more.

  Divine Land of Soldiers, endless soldiers, only by becoming a qualified soldier can one gain the recognition of the sect, and be fully cultivated. Moreover, after obtaining the soul of the divine soldier, whether it is identity status or power, everything becomes extremely great, able to become an inner disciple of a sect, become the core strength, control the life and death of other disciples.

  The Nine Realms of Martial Arts, condensing energy into soldiers; the realm of condensed energy is precisely the first realm among the nine realms.

  For a warrior, condensing energy into soldiers and activating the innate soldier's soul is just the beginning. After activating the innate soldier's soul, one needs to temper the soldier's soul. At that time, the power of the soldier's soul will be even stronger. The soldier's soul can be released externally, wielding soldiers like wind and rain, killing enemies thousands of miles away, which is completely incomparable to the realm of condensing energy.

  "Big brother, you're back!"

  The outer disciple of the Double Blade Sect, Li Ke had just returned when a white-clad youth, dressed exactly like him, walked towards him. This youth had clear eyebrows and eyes, with an air of a young noble about him in every gesture.

  Li Ke, although he was only a nominal disciple, lived in the outer gate and had the largest separate courtyard due to the care of his master.

  However, as news of his dismissal spread, Zong Zhuoyi also paid less attention to him.

  This young man was one of the few good friends Li Ke had in the Double Blade Sect, named Ling Yun, who was a year younger than Li Ke, and his family was a sixth-grade family in Hanshou.

  Lingyun, although a member of a sixth-grade family, was a collateral branch and had a relatively low status. He was often ridiculed by others, whether in the family or in the Double Blade Sect. However, he got along well with Li Ke.

  During the time Li Ke pretended to mistakenly eat the dispersing fruit, Ling Yun took care of him and even blocked the probing of other disciples from the Double Blade Sect during that period, avoiding the danger of being exposed.

  This is also because Li Ke gave him a feeling, because he felt a lonely and proud temperament on Li Ke's body, although Li Ke restrained this temperament very well, but Ling Yun still detected a hint of it, so for Li Ke's identity, Ling Yun has always been very curious.

  Li Ke had many good friends in the past half year, and it can be said that he had won their hearts. However, after the news of his declining power spread out, those friends began to leave him one by one. Some even ridiculed and mocked him loudly when they left. Only Ling Yun remained as his friend.

  "Lingyun, you're here again!" Li Ke's eyes sparkled as if he was about to share some news of his impending breakthrough with him, but just then, he sensed someone approaching.

  "Li Ke, you're a waste of space, hurry up and move out! Brother Xu is looking for a place to raise an Iron Armored Wolfhound, and your place has a great environment!"

  Behind him, a voice came over, Li Ke's face suddenly sank, and he turned his head to look back. He saw three or four white-clad young men walking into his courtyard with their heads held high. Behind them, a yellow-clad young man was holding a folding fan in his hand, his face as purple jade, very handsome.

  "Xu Ting!"

  Li Ke knew this young man in yellow clothes holding a folding fan, his name was Xu Ting, and he was one of the best among the outer disciples of the Double Blade Sect. His cultivation had reached the eighth level of the Void Shadow period, and his divine soul was a rare Nine-Ringed Life-Taking Knife. Moreover, Xu Ting's family was a sixth-grade family in Hansheng State, and this generation of the Xu family only had him as their heir, so they loved him dearly and basically gave him whatever he wanted.

  In the Double Blade Sect, registered disciples wear white robes and shirts, outer door disciples wear yellow robes and shirts, while inner door disciples wear golden robes and shirts. As for core disciples, they dress freely.

  Li Ke had not yet arrived at the Double Blade Sect when Xu Ting was known as the disciple with the fastest cultivation speed, and his reputation was unmatched. However, after Li Ke's arrival, he steadily surpassed Xu Ting, casting a shadow over Xu Ting's heart. Therefore, after Li Ke's abilities were crippled, Xu Ting often looked for trouble with him, mocking him.

  "Xu Ting, what do you mean by this?" Li Ke's face sank, and he asked coldly.

  "With a 'click' sound, he opened the folding fan. On the surface of the fan, there was a plum blossom that bloomed alone in the cold. Xu Ting walked around Li Ke in a circle and burst out laughing: "Li Ke, your courtyard is really too big for you, this useless thing! It's just right to give it to me, my 'Wolf Tooth' doesn't have a place to live temporarily!"

  "Yes! Li Ke, hurry up and let out the house to Master Xu!"

  "That's right, that's right! You're a waste of space, always bullying people around here, hurry up and pack your things and get out!"

  "Xu Shixiong's Iron Arm Wolfhound is very precious, Li Ke, you'd better be sensible!"

  Behind Xu Ting, those white-clothed disciples also followed suit, shouting and intimidating. Their eyes looking at Li Ke also became extremely mocking, with continuous ridicule.

  Furious in his heart, the "wolf teeth" in Xu Ting's mouth was a ferocious canine-like iron-level metal beast, which was a unique species found only on the Divine Arms Continent. Li Ke understood that Xu Ting and the others meant that he wasn't even comparable to a dog.

  This is looking for death!

  Li Ke clenched his teeth tightly.

  He slowly turned around, Xu Ting was shocked to see Li Ke and exclaimed: "Ah! How can this waste still be here? Hehe... I'm a person who sometimes remembers the emotions of the past. Waste, now I'll give you three seconds to leave, if you don't disappear from my sight in three seconds, then don't blame me!"

  Xu Ting's gaze became increasingly cold and stern, his face grew darker, and his tone became more gloomy.

  "What do you mean, Brother Xu? This is Brother Li Ke's residence, what right do you have to make Brother Li Ke leave?" Ling Yun couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward, and sternly asked, staring at Xu Ting.

  "Who are you, get out of here!" Xu Ting didn't even glance at Ling Yun, directly raising his hand to unleash a fatal slash. A white light flashed in his hand as a three-foot long large knife was drawn out with ease.

  This large knife is three feet five inches long, the handle is seven inches long, with a ring at the back, and the blade is two feet eight inches long, four inches wide, with a thickness of 0.4 inches at the back, and there are six rings, each spaced three inches five parts apart.

  It's Xu Ting's destined soldier soul - the Nine-Ringed Life-Taking Dagger.

  "Clang!"

  A sound like the collision of metal and stone rang out violently, and a long knife Soul Soldier appeared in Lingyun's hand. However, the outline of his long knife Soul Soldier was blurry and unclear, only showing its general shape. This was because his power was one level lower than Xu Ting's, with only the seventh layer of Qi Condensation, and his true Soul Soldier had only a vague embryo form, without even condensing into a shadow.

  A head-on collision, the gap in strength was something Lingyun couldn't make up for at the moment. He was knocked flying a zhang away by Xu Ting's fatal blow, crashing to the ground with a loud thud. "Pfft!" A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, his face deathly pale.

  "Surpassing the clouds!"

  Li Ke let out a loud cry, his eyes turned cold and he glared at Xu Ting, saying sternly: "Xu Ting, it was a year and a half ago that I suffered from scattered energy, and this matter must have been done by you!"

  Xu Ting heard this and was slightly stunned at first, but then he relaxed and burst out laughing: "Li Ke, you're really clever! The thing about dispersing the aura is indeed something I did, but it wasn't my idea alone. If anyone's to blame, it can only be that you were too dazzling back then! It made all the senior and junior brothers from the outer sect look down on you!"

  A chill ran down his spine, Li Ke took a long, cold breath, suppressing his anger and smiled: "So there's more than just you!"

  "Li Ke, you're now a complete waste! What's the point of thinking about your past glory? Think about your future instead! Who knows, you might just die inexplicably!"

  Behind Xu Ting, a named disciple with a cultivation level of only the seventh rank of the Condensing Qi Realm suddenly shouted loudly.

  "You dare to threaten me at the seventh level of Qi Condensation?" Li Ke's mindset suddenly changed, with an unyielding attitude in the face of raging winds and waves. A proud and aloof aura slowly emerged from his body.

  "Threaten you? Haha... What can threatening you do? Do you think you're still the number one genius of Double Blade Sect from a year ago? You're now a useless waste. Even if I cripple your four limbs today, no one in Double Blade Sect will say a word!"

  Li Ke burst out laughing and waved his hand, saying: "Then come on! My hands and feet are right here!"

  "Alright! I'll help you out! Brothers, let's go!" The named disciple suddenly shouted loudly, and the other three white-clothed youngsters also rushed up quickly. White light flashed, and the four of them almost each wielded a nascent Soul Slayer, killing intent rising.

  "Big Brother! Hurry up and leave!" Watching the four named disciples wielding their Soul Soldiers, charging towards Li Ke to kill him, Ling Yun's face turned deathly pale, shouting loudly, his forehead bulging with rage, furious to the extreme.

  "Leave?" Li Ke's voice was cold and detached, his gaze sweeping around the room before settling on the shouting disciple, his eyes gleaming with a solitary wolf-like intensity.

  "You're just a piece of trash, today I'll let you know who's really the trash!"

  Li Ke's eyes flashed, and his entire body suddenly erupted with energy. The aura of the nine divine soldiers on him was like a white dragon, sharp and dancing in the air. Before the four named disciples could even reach his front, they were cut by the extremely sharp aura of the divine soldiers, their skin stinging painfully, and they involuntarily retreated, revealing a look of surprise in their eyes.

  As their eyes met, Li Ke's feet flashed and he shot out like an arrow. With a swift swing of his sword, the disciple who had been shouting loudly was cut down, flying backward with blood splattering everywhere.

  "Seeking death!" Xu Ting sprang up, his Nine-Ringed Death-Dealing Knife dancing wildly like the wind, directly chopping towards Li Ke.

  Li Keren sneered in mid-air, "Xu Ting, did you really think I was affected by your Dispersing Fruit that time a year and a half ago? Let me tell you, I'm more familiar with the Dispersing Fruit than you are!"

  His body was as agile as a fish and dragon, his figure flashed, Li Ke suddenly appeared in front of Xu Ting, with a white light spinning in his hand, a three-inch-seven-part flying knife, the blade shining brightly.

  "Li Ke, you..." Xu Ting's eyes were almost bulging out, at such a close distance, how could he not see that Li Ke's martial soul had already shone brightly, this was the late stage of the ninth layer of the Qi condensation realm, the aura of the nine divine weapons converging into one point!

  Although I saw it, but there was no time to dodge!

  "Clang!"

  The blades clashed, sparks flying everywhere.

  "The top-grade Yellow Class martial art - Frenzied Wind Knife Technique is nothing before me!" With a sudden rise of his knife, Li Ke's knife was like a goat hanging from a horn, appearing and disappearing without a trace. The Nine-Ringed Soul-Stealing Knife in Xu Ting's hand flew up, but with a "pu" sound, it was fiercely inserted into Xu Ting's chest.

  "Bang!" With another kick, Li Ke kicked Xu Ting flying out again, heavily smashing him against the wall. Suddenly, the wall collapsed, dust flew everywhere, and rocks were scattered all over.

  "You've actually reached the 9th layer of the Qi Condensation Realm's Late Soul Connection stage, just one step away from the Refining Soldier Realm! This... how is this possible?!"

  Dust filled the air, Li Ke slowly walked in front of Xu Ting.

  "Because I am Li Ke!"

  When Li Ke said this, Lingyun suddenly had a feeling from afar that Li Ke was like an emperor! A monarch who could command the army to conquer the nine heavens and split the nine underworlds!

  Overlord of all under heaven!

  "Pffft!"

  With a flick of two fingers, Li Ke spoke one sentence, and the flying knife's soul that was stuck in Xu Ting's chest instantly dissipated. Xu Ting's chest then erupted like a fountain, spewing out blood.

  "Now you know who's useless, right?" Li Ke's gaze was as cold as ice as he stared at Xu Ting.
