Gilet was inside his room, in front of him was a bunch of papers and documents scattered on the floor in front of him. His eyes were glued to these papers, his eyes were clouded with confusion and irritation for he didn't know what the step je should take from here on out.

Picking one of the papers that was on the ground, Gilet started reviewing them one more time. This was the 35th time he would be doing this again it had been 5 days since the first trial started and since then he had not gotten up from that place.

"This is all wrong, I can't do it this way!" Gilet tossed the papers on the floor and furiously started scratching his head from irritation, blue flames started slowly emerging from his body resulting his room to be enveloped by a burning temperature his soul power was encompassing his entire body.

"It's too hot." A soft and alluring echoed in the room of Gilet all of a sudden making him turn his head in the direction where the voice came from. Turning around he saw the face of Mey entering by the window with a frown and was continuously using the wind to make herself feel refresh.

The blue flames disappeared and the temperature went back to normal, opening his mouth he said to her "What is it? It's rare for you to come here."

Mey entered and made the wind around her dissipate into nothingness, her gaze moved around observing the room of Gilet and seeing how it was filled with papers and documents littered on the floor she felt a smile appearing on her face.

"Seems like you have been putting a substantial amount of effort into mentoring your little disciple."

Gilet turned his back on her and took the papers and documents that were burnt earlier by him.

Mey saw this and didn't feel any kind of irritation from disregarded. She had known him since he came here 10 years ago when he was just 12 years of age.

She took a flower from the vase and took a whiff of it before saying "That boy from the Dual Dragon School came was here yesterday with his entourage, what are going to do with him? He had been pestering you for Yuren for the longest time right?"

Gilet stop his hands from moving when he heard what Mey had just said. He flipped his palms and started burning the papers that he had accidentally damaged earlier.

As the paper burn, Gilet squinted his eyes and stared at it and said "Don't worry about him. That kid may be persistent but with him being hated by Yuren he do not have a chance."

Placing the flower back on the vase Mey sat on the window's edge then crossed her arms "That may be, but his method have been getting out of hand, time is limited Gilet and before long you have to leave here and you won't be able to protect her yourself."

Gilet didn't say anything back to her because he knew it was true.

"You can't take her with you and no one in this place have a flame strong enough to contain her when something happens." Her voice was faint when she said this things.

A memory appeared on her. That terrifying power was not something she can comprehend and it was in the body if her beloved disciple.

"I know, before I go away that item will be finish so don't worry, I'm only missing a couple of materials before I commence the forging. One year, after one year I will be able to collect all of the materials that I need." Clenching his fist Gilet stood up and stared at Mey.

"Until then, I will be counting on you to look after and teach her"

Mey turned around and said "Don't worry that's my plan all this time, Yuren is a genius even better than you were so even if you don't tell me to take care of her I will volunteer to do it." With that said she left through the window and went somewhere else.

Walking to the window Gilet took a deep breath and said to himself "I have to go now, Dean is still going through the first trial and if all goes well I should be able to come back before he does."

Closing the window he prepared the item he started checking the items in his space ring before going out. After he got out of his personal room he went to find the head maid and passed her a piece of paper.

He gave strict instruction for it to be given to Dean if he was not back after Dean came back. And with Dean being known in the estate as the Gilet's personal helper, and particularly the head maid was close to Dean because she was the one who prepare all of the food that he had been eating.

Gilet left and went out to gather one of the materials he would be needing in the future.

**

Dean and To-qe had been continuously hunting for magical beasts since the trial had started. The two of them have been hunting magical beasts for 5 days and in this 5 days they had been lucky on not encountering a magical beast higher than a level 5 magical beasts.

At this time Dean had been able to collect a total of 600 points he currently have six level 3 spirit cores and three level 4 spirit cores. At the start he was only fighting against level 3 magical beasts but after a while, he got comfortable in using his qi so he tried and fought a level 4 magical beasts.

As for To-qe he already had 800 points, he had been targeting magical beasts that's level 4 and above. He currently have three level 5 spirit core and 2 level 4 spirit core.

The sun that was about to go down and with the night coming they went to look for a place to pass the night and cultivate. Most magical moves in the dark are hard to deal with, even with the vision they have as a cultivator have can see in the dark at night much clearer than normal people it was still dangerous.

Magical beasts were more active at night where some even have an innate skill that works specifically at night.

The two of them hopped to the giant trees to the other and move fast in the dark. As they were moving in the dark Dean's saw a little magical beast down below through the corner of his eyes.

He was going to ignore the little beast but a thought came into his mind and with haste he diverted from his path and dived down to make a sneak attack on that little magical beast.

To-qe who was taking the lead notice the sudden movements of Dean and when he turn around Dean was only a couple of meters away from that magical beast.

Swoosh

The little magical beast only had the size of an arm, its features were that of a cat from its fur was the color gray. A "swoosh" sound entered its two little ears and with a slight twitch it tried running away, but before it could even lift a paw from the ground, steel like fingers gripped it from the neck immobilizing it.

With the little cat in his clutches Dean gracefully landed on the ground and with a "crack" he broke the neck of that cat like a toothpick killing it before it even make a sound or an attempt to struggle.

After killing it he quickly went back up the tree "What were you doing, we already have the rations that we need why are you still hunting?" with that statement To-qe turn and left that place.

To-qe was already used to Dean's gluttony after seeing how much he was capable of eating this past week. When Dean killed the Winged Wolf and got its spirit core it was cooked that night and was eaten by the two of them.

After they were done with the Winged Wolf, To-qe was already full on the other hand Dean went to cook the magical beast that To-qe had killed that day which was a "Silver Wind Hawk" that had the size of over two meters.

That Silver Wind Hawk was eaten alone by Dean, and since that day To-qe had seen him eat an amount that a normal man can't even begin to eat even with his huge stature he was still unable to eat half as much as Dean could.

To-qe tried asking him how he could it all those things without wanting to puke, but he was answered with "I'm hungry" before Dean continued on eating the "Thunder Bull" a level 3 magical beast that he caught.

With this he was not surprise if Dean would actually suddenly move if it's for food. The two stumbled upon a cave as they moved deeper in the forest.

They decided to stay in there for the night, Dean cooked the meat that they had with them and meat that he had caught before they reached the cave. The cat like magical beast was a magical beast "Ash Cat".

A rather simple magical beast its strength was only level 2 but it was known for its tender meat so it was quite a delicacy for normal cultivator. Dean took its spirit core and prepared its meat to be cooked.

To-qe as always enjoyed the food, licking his fingers he said "That Ash Cat was truly good, seems like you have a knack for finding good meat "my brother"."

Dean smiled and talked to him for a bit before going to a corner in the cave to start meditating and cultivate. His current cultivation was at the peak of the 4th level of Body Refinement and he was already feeling the walls that leads to the 5th level.

He took out a gray ball from his leather bag and said to himself "My bloodline let me devour anything through the Devour Skill, so that means I can eat this right?"

[Ding

That is right, also the "impurities" in the spirit core will be cleansed letting host absorbed the purest elemental qi that the spirit core have. ]

Dean forced his laughter down after confirming his little theory. Without wasting anytime he threw the spirit core of the Ash Cat into his mouth. He swallowed it whole and after he did a cool and refreshing feeling enveloped his body.

He felt his heavenly qi going up and as for the wall that he had been vaguely seeing for a while was becoming more and more vivid by the minute. It didn't take him long to absorb the spirit core of the Ash Cat.

Opening his eyes Dean clenched his fist feeling the power flowing in his meridians "Just a little more and I will be able to break through the next level."

The wall of the 5th level was vivid in front of him than it ever was seeing this he didn't waste any more time and took out the spirit core of the Thunder Bull. Throwing it in his mouth Dean swallowed and felt the different kind of qi in it.

Other than having a higher quality and quantity of heavenly qi, the element that it possessed and its characteristics was also different. The Thunder Bull just like its name had the lightning element letting it possess a vigorous and violent characteristics.

But this violent and vigorous heavenly qi was not bad for him but rather it was good, his meridians already had Black Vajra (Lightning) making it accustomed to it so this was nourishing for him.

His body was suddenly filled with heavenly qi.

Crick crack

A cracking sound was heard in Dean's body, the wall of the 5th level was breaking down with the heavenly qi overflowing like that. The wall was crumbling and Dean was not going to let this chance go.

Directing the heavenly qi inside him Dean started gathering it all in his void bead where the wall was located of the 4th and 5th wall for him was located. The void bead was assaulted with a huge amount of heavenly qi.

"Shatter!" Dean roared in his mind as the invisible wall of the 5th level was broken through. The void bead inside his dantian glowed "I am now at the 5th level of the Body Refinement."

[ Ding

]

As he was celebrating, Dean suddenly felt something from outside the cave coming their way. He stood up and approach To-qe to inform him about it.

ROAR

Then as he was about to go he heard a roar coming from outside, he tried finding To-qe in a hurry when he heard a voice from behind.

"Don't come out for now, something good is happening out there."

Turning his head Dean saw a smile in To-qe's face, a smile of anticipation and excitement was plastered in his face.
