âHuh? What was that fleeting thing?â
âWhat? How could anything be there?â
âI clearly felt a gustâ¦â
After the five Lunula Sect people entered the temple, a statue instantly caught their attention, and they
didnât notice Stefan and Claudia coming in.

When they turned around, the two had long burrowed into the ground, disappearing again while leaving
nothing behind.
âMonkey, I think itâs your guilt for betraying the master that youâre paranoid. Rest assured, you arenât
the only one who betrayed him. So what are you afraid of?â
âThatâs right. The young master⦠No, that bast*rd, Julius Jackson, isnât a good man. He even snatched
my concubine away without a word of gratitude. D*mn it! His intentions arenât earnest enough this time,
asking me to come here. He has a death wish for me.â
Agitated, several people badmouthed the young master of the Lunula Sect, ignoring the surrounding
situation. Meanwhile, Stefan and Claudia hid beneath the temple, not moving a muscle. Claudia found
it peculiar that Stefan had used the Earth Escape Technique to hide right under the feet of their
enemies.

The space was just a bit cramped.
It also smelled unpleasant.
She adjusted herself into a more comfortable position. Only then did she realize that she had actually
thrown herself into Stefanâs arms after the adjustment was over. That was not her fault.

Alex
Stefan was the one who controlled the Earth Escape Technique. The area in front of him was the most
comfortable, while the other areas were dry and uncomfortable. It became like that due to her bodyâs
natural response.
Stefan
Alex
âDonât move! Thereâs something strange here!â Stefan sent a telepathic message to her. He was,
however, so cautious that he almost glued himself to Claudiaâs ear. He felt the tortoiseshell inside his
body going into an uproar.
Stefan
Alex
A massive commotion had broken out. Hence, something in the temple must be attracting it.
Stefan also had a vague sense of direction that the underground was why the turtle shell had such a
vigorous reaction. That was right. It was beneath the temple.

Presently, Claudia heard someone shouting from aboveâ¦
âThis statue looks a little strange. D*mn it. They could âve sculptured anything else, yet all they carved
was an ugly tortoise! Is this a shrine for tortoises?â
âStrange, indeed. I have seen people worshiping dragons, phoenixes, and even wolf deities, but Iâve
never seen tortoise worshipers.â
âLook. There are words inscribedâ¦â
The group found a very ancient and mysterious text on the back of the tortoise statue. Next to those
texts were strange glyphs and patterns.
âThis is⦠The martial arts of the True Martial Star-Shattering Punch,â someone exclaimed.
âWhat? Is this really the True Martial Star-Shattering Punch? This is extremely rare and Divine martial
arts. Extremely well-known in the universe, even sanctuary sect masters would beat their brains out to
get their hands on this. I didnât expect it to be enshrined hereâ¦â
The few people were excited.
Even Claudia was breathing heavily. She held lofty status in current society and had found countless
Daoist ancient books that were left behind. It was there that she learned of the True Martial Star-
Shattering Punch.
A legendary miracle, it was the only example of using martial arts to enter the cultivation path.
Legend had it that Asbel Williams from the Sota Sect had obtained a True Martial Star-Shattering
Punch moves. He then broke through Void Shattering stage and soared to the immortal realm.
She even whispered to Richard, âTrue Martial Star-Shattering Punch is Sota Sectâs supreme treasure.
It must never fall into the hands of bandits and scum. We have to stop them.â
Richard,
Alex,
Stefan frowned. âLetâs wait and see. I somehow feel theyâre not going to get it so easily.â
Stefan
Alex
After that, they heard the Lunula Sectâs people reading aloud, âThe one who learns the True Martial
Star-Shattering Punch will instantly inherit true martialism. To show true devotion, one has to kneel and
bow in its presence.â
Immediately afterward, someone said, âPfft. Itâs just a broken tortoise that died eons ago, yet it still
wants us to bow before it? Does it really think itâs the king of tortoises?â
Thus, none of them genuinely bowed before the statue. Even worse, someone kicked that tortoise
statue hard, breaking its leg.
