An empty field just outside the mansion.

Gu Qing Shan and Anna stood a few dozen meters away, facing each other.

Anna crossed her arms and spoke: “How about this, whichever one of us wins gets to teach the other how to cultivate”

“That’s fine” Gu Qing Shan said.

“I’ve never once thought about taking you as a disciple” Anna couldn’t help but smile, “but thinking about it now, that’s also quite an interesting thing to do”

She let out flames all around her body and shouted: “Manifest!”

A long black scythe appeared in her hand.

“I will ——-“

Before Anna could finish, she already felt a chill on her neck.

Looking down, she saw the same sword was placed squarely on her neck again, while Gu Qing Shan was standing behind her.

——–almost in an instant, Gu Qing Shan had moved to where she was and attacked.

Anna stood stunned.

“No, just now I was focused on talking, we’re going again” she was still unconvinced.

“Alright then” Gu Qing Shan walked back.

They both stood facing each other.

Anna drew the scythe again, as an invisible wave spreads around the area.

Three skeletons covered in black flames jumped out from the wave.

Anna was still not assured, so she touched the scythe to the ground and shouted softly: “Flaming Death!”

Boom!

The black flame manifested into a large black skull that covered her inside.

“Come, this time it’s serious” Anna said.

Gu Qing Shan jumped forward, suddenly both him and the sword turned into a white crescent slash, slicing through the air in an elegant manner.

Kchak!

All three skeletons fell to pieces with a single sound as the fierce slash passed them by.

“God of Death! From within the flames, I call you ——–!”

Seeing the situation wasn’t favorable, Anna clasped her hands together into a praying position.

The giant black skull that covered her began to shake and rose up.

——–the terrifying figure was about to appear.

But a sword had already reached Anna’s neck through the black flames, once again placed just barely touching her skin.

In just a few breaths, the winner had already been decided.

Anna stood stock still.

The black skull that surrounded her also dissipated.

The other three were also stunned.

“How is that possible, the legendary Flaming Death hasn’t even gotten the chance to show its strength and she’s already lost…” Zhang Ying Hao mumbled in disbelief.

This is Anna we’re talking about here, there’s very few in the world that’s stronger than she is.

The highest level dark-type summoning God’s Chosen Skill, together with her Burning Sun stage Fire Element, a mix between dark and fire makes for a very powerful combination.

But this combination didn’t have time to even start up when facing Gu Qing Shan.

He won in such a strange manner.

“Tch, this guy is still using the exact same annoying tactics as before, I also felt it when I fought him. No matter how much strength I had, I wasn’t able to use it” Ye Fei Li exclaimed full of emotions.

Anna was finally convinced.

She’s only a bit stubborn, not stupid.

If it was a real battle of life and death, Gu Qing Shan would’ve killed her who knows how many times over.

Pulling back all the black flame around herself, Anna asked in surprise: “Just how did you kill all three of my black flame skeletons, I didn’t even have time to follow up for them”

Seeing her surrender, Gu Qing Shan silently sighed from relief.

Anna is a bit too strong, so it’s lucky that I had Ground Shrink, otherwise if the battle had dragged on, I wouldn’t have been able to hold back, and possibly hurt her.

“Because the power I use comes from the essence of the world, while your flame skeletons are essenceless flames, it’s very easy to put them out” Gu Qing Shan explained.

“Essenceless flame…” Anna was instantly able to grasp the important details and asked: “If it’s as you said, then what exactly is a flame with essence?”

Gu Qing Shan put his hand on her shoulder and said: “You can try using that skill again”

Anna listened and tried, Gu Qing Shan timed it perfectly and infused Anna with his spirit energy

Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!

Five black flame skeletons appeared from thin air, they didn’t look as bare as they did before, their bodies and their bones were much more sturdy, they even manifested armor on their upper half as well as weapons in their hands.

As the black flame skeletons touched the ground, they looked around for a bit before gathering in front of Anna.

They were extremely animated, as if they actually were sentient.

“It’s such a miraculous feeling, as if there’s an endless source of power for me to draw from” feeling inside her body, Anna spoke with surprise.

“Right, that’s called spirit energy” Gu Qing Shan explained.

“What is spirit energy?”

“It’s a type of power ———one that can support your use of skills” Gu Qing Shan explained, “Professionists are like mechanical engines that keeps on upgrading itself. But because there isn’t a sufficient fuel system to support it, they’re unable to keep on fighting for a long time”

“Let’s try again, this time, I’ll fully release my spirit energy”

“Very well”

Anna once again swung her scythe and cut at the air.

Gu Qing Shan this time circulated spirit energy from all around his body and infused it into her.

Space started to let out a dull humming sound, as the sound of skeletons appearing continued.

One, two, three…

A total of over 30 black flame skeletons appeared on the ground.

Such a force could actually wipe out a small camp in a war.

“How is this possible…” Anna exclaimed in disbelief.

With her abilities, the most she could manage when fully concentrating should be only 4 skeletons.

“This is your true ability” Gu Qing Shan answered.

“Why is there such a vast difference?” Anna asked.

“Because I infused my spirit energy into your skill for you” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“If spirit energy infusion your God’s Chosen Skill?”

“No, spirit energy is the most basic force in the world, the purest form of energy that anyone can learn to use”

Gu Qing Shan continued to explain: “Elementalist, God’s Chosen, or even Martial Thaumaturgy, everything requires spirit energy as fuel to truly show its power”

Anna stayed silent, then said: “I’ve never heard of such a thing before…”

“Have any of you ever heard of spirit energy?” she looked and questioned the other three.

All of them shook their heads, Zhang Ying Hao answered: “This is also the first time we’ve heard of it”

Gu Qing Shan said: “You can’t be blamed for that, since the entire world knows so little about the force driving their power after all”

Anna asked: “Can I really learn how to use spirit energy?”

“Of course, I’ll teach you how to feel spirit energy later” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Then, do we need to have you become our master too?” Zhang Ying Hao butted in.

Gu Qing Shan quickly waved his hand: “No need, I won’t be your Shifu, and I won’t take you guys as my disciples”

“I can’t teach you my abilities, but I can teach you other things that fit you better and still allow you to understand the use of spirit energy”

“Why don’t you take us as disciples?” Anna was more interested in this part.

“Because I haven’t talked to my Shifu about this, so I can’t do it” Gu Qing Shan answered very seriously.

Taking in a disciple is a very serious matter for a sect.

Secretly taking in a disciple and teaching them the scriptures of the sect before getting permission from their Shifu is a great taboo in the cultivation world.

If someone were to do that, they will be subjected to the harshest punishment from the sect.

This is an iron-clad rule that’s agreed upon by the entire world of cultivation.

Although Bai Hua Fairy is very soft on her disciples so Gu Qing Shan wouldn’t be punished too badly even if he does something wrong, Gu Qing Shan himself as a person doesn’t want to make Bai Hua Fairy disappointed.

“You have a Shifu?” Anna asked hesitantly.

“That’s right” Gu Qing Shan answered.

“If your Shifu strong?” Zhang Ying Hao was intrigued.

“Even if all the most powerful people in the world gather in one place, she wouldn’t need to use more than one hand to beat them all” Gu Qing Shan praised.

The four people exchanged looks, finding this very hard to believe.

“Your… this place isn’t broken right?” Liao Xing pointed at his head.

“Of course not” Gu Qing Shan glared at him.

Ye Fei Li suddenly said: “I believe him”

The three other people looked at him.

“He’s such a fierce guy, if he didn’t have an even fiercer master, how would they teach him?” Ye Fei Li said without a shred of doubt.
