THE FIVE VS THE POSSESSED
The boys roamed the streets, devoured snacks, and teased each other until a shout pierced the air.

“Someone is possessed—!!”
A wild, chaotic aura surged. A man stood in the center of the crowd, shuddering violently, eyes completely blackened. The children froze—this wasn’t like the books. This was real.
The man lunged—
Straight at Tianyao.
“Tianyao!” the others shouted.
Hanxu reacted first, hands tightening around his sword.
His 10-petal Sheng power erupted in a radiant wave—golden petals swirling around him.31Please respect copyright.PENANAuAE3cf6UuG
He unsheathed Liuyao, the sword humming with Xing bloodline energy.
Yulian followed, his Amplification of Weakness and Destruction flames blazing.31Please respect copyright.PENANA3fRS9Bk2vb
Jinluo decreased the temperature around them instantly, drawing on the Ice Phoenix bloodline, frost crawling over the ground.
Jianxu growled, unleashing his Golden Dragon aura, scales flickering across his arms.
All five children attacked at once—beautiful, chaotic, unrefined.
But the possessed man didn’t behave like any normal attacker.
Just as he reached Tianyao—
—Jianxu leapt in front of him.
Everyone gasped.
But instead of striking Jianxu…31Please respect copyright.PENANAdxy3ZWUYys
The possessed man slapped himself. Again. And again.
“What… is happening…?” Jinluo whispered.
Tianyao’s hands shook as he shouted, “Jinluo, use the flares! WE CAN’T HANDLE THIS—!”
All three—Jinluo, Hanxu, Yulian—triggered their flares.
Explosions of bright light burst into the sky.
THE ARRIVAL OF THE ADULTS
Xing Zhenyu and Feng Tianshu rushed in like lightning—but before they could even strike…
A sharp sword whistle split the air.
A single figure descended like a falling star, cutting the pendant in the possessed man’s hand.
Xing Liuyue.
He had returned.
The moment the pendant shattered, the man collapsed, lifeless.31Please respect copyright.PENANAWIWJ9oK9Av
The aura around the fragments warped the air.

The five children huddled together, trembling yet still trying to stand proudly.
Liuyue looked at them.
“Are you hurt?”
Hanxu shook his head vigorously, trying to act brave.31Please respect copyright.PENANApM04g0dS1y
Liuyue exhaled, looking both relieved and furious.
THE STRANGE PENDANT
Feng Tianshu recognized the aura immediately.
“Zhenyu… is that… the evil one?”
All the boys and spectators looked terrified.
But a calm, soothing voice came from behind:
“No. This aura… is very pure.”
Everyone turned.
Xing Lianchen—younger brother of Zhenyu, husband of Tianlong Yuhan, —walked forward, expression unreadable.
“What you saw was not corruption,” he said. “It is purity turned violent because it fell into the hands of someone unworthy.”
He crouched, examining the shards.
“If a pure-hearted person touches it, nothing will happen. But for others… it becomes a nightmare.”
The crowd whispered, chilled by the implications.
Lianchen turned to Feng Tianshu.31Please respect copyright.PENANAdHDziGePaK
“May we use the Fire and Ice Jade of your clan? These shards cannot be handled without it.”
“Of course,” Tianshu nodded. “Anything for the martial world.”
Zhenyu, Liuyue, Tianshu, and Lianchen exchanged grim looks.
The boys saw it—the beginning of something dangerous.
Heiwu Sect’s shadow had returned.
And they had just stepped into their first real battle.
