"Why didn’t you inform the Martial Alliance yourself?" Asks Bai Kin asks.

"Hey, what’s that supposed to mean!? Are you finding fault on lord Sean!?" One of the students asks, he was a relative of Maki and Fabuki.

"It’s okay, it was truly my fault." He calms him down but the latter still glares at Bai Kin.

"I’m not finding fault at you lord Sean, I just thought that you might had been given some trouble from the Federation." Bai Kin glares at the guy.

"No, nothing of that sort happened, I just- *Sigh* I had fallen asleep after I felt safe with my family."

Wuk believes this.

"You were carrying all of us and together with the survivors, you definitely had been overdrawing support from your spirit " 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Everyone was stunned, they realizes that he hadn’t really rested all of this time.

"Yes, it seems that my spirit was already suffering from heavy exhaustion, my aunt saw this and she hugged me, causing me to be knocked out in an instant."

Jericho smiles. "As expected of aunt Tsu, everyone was always looking at your strong side, not knowing that you’re suffering too."

"Hmph! I know that you already expected this, don’t act so surprised." Wuk glares at him.

Everyone was surprised and they turn to Jericho, the latter snorts.

"This guy help contains two Innates using some sort of power, I had seen his expression in that battle and he was already showing mental exhaustion."

Everyone listens, they really don’t know Sean that much and hearing the perspective of someone he considers his best friend will help them understand him more.

"What did he do after we were sent back?"

They recall what happened a couple of weeks ago, it has probably been a month.

"He fought again, this time, exhausting his body to the point that he can’t move."

"He didn’t even rest after recovering his movement, he carried us in a cloud that moves at incredible speed comparable to that of an aircraft, probably faster, then, after carrying us for a month, he fought against an Innate, returned to the Core Zone at his fastest speed without rest, HE is still a human, someone at our age! I know that strength breeds confidence but don’t forget, he is still someone young, a person of our age."

His long rant made everyone turn silent, they can’t find fault on his words.

They had deified Innates and upon seeing him defeating lesser Innates, they also sees him as a being like a god rather than a human being.

"I know that everyone is worried but we should return to the battlefield, don’t worry about the message to your Martial Alliance, knowing him, the person he left the message to is or vice principal, she’s a powerhouse of the gold rank and also a relative of one of the major clans in the Core Zone."

As they left the room, Wuk looks at him with a worried expression.

"What is it?"

"There’s a group of ghost that invaded the city, they had infiltrated deep into our group and possessed a couple of individuals-"

"You don’t need to be worried about me, my soul is strong enough and it’s unique, it can’t be possessed by anything, even a true Innate will die if he tries to possess me."

Wuk was relieved.

"Use Sun Descent and gather everyone, tell them to stay near your skill for ten minutes, those that are possessed will definitely be affected by such intense yang energy."

Wuk’s eyes lights up, he can’t believe that he didn’t think of this.

"Also." He waves his hand and summons Liliaghant, her appearance causes the room to feel lively.

"If anyone’s injured, tell them to come to her, she’s better than any elf of our maturity."

Leaving the place, he closes his eyes to rest, Bai was summoned to protect him in his time of vulnerability.

At the moment, Jericho was surrounded by the gold rank prodigies, they want to become more familiar with him.

Wuk suddenly appears, causing them to stop, seeing the lovely Liliaghant following him, they are confused.

Jericho frowns and asks. "Is she a member of your family?"

Wuk was surprised but realizing that it was him, he was no longer that shocked.

"Yes, her name is Liliaghant, the healer of our group, tell the injured to come to her."

"Healer of you group? Compared to Sean, how great is her healing power?"

"Greater than his."

Jericho can’t help but suck in a deep breath, Sean’s healing is already abnormal, he was shocked to hear that Liliaghant is more capable than him.

"Time and time again, I’m reminded by just how abnormal you guys are."

"Says the person that earned his respect, you already reached the realm of challenging those that are a rank higher than you."

Jericho chuckles, he’s proud of this, unlike these prodigies, he doesn’t compare himself to someone like Sean.

"By the way, did he give you some instructions on how to deal with our ghost problem?"

"Dxmn! Are you a mind-reader or something!? How are you able to know his thoughts!?"

"Hmph! I know that you aren’t as smart as your sister but you’re quite reliable, having you is like having Sean, I don’t blame you for being too simple-minded, it’s just, as the so-called prankster of the group, you’re too disappointing!"

Wuk opens his mouth but no words come out, Liliaghant can’t help but giggle, she has memories from the Tree of Life so she knows what Jericho was saying.

Wuk starts coughing, he’s embarrassed, he always prided himself as the prankster but the only ones he managed to successfully pranked are the simple Iron Monkeys on the Evergreen Shop.

"So, what instructions did he left?" Jericho glares at him and asks.

As a prankster too, he wants an ally but Wuk is too simple and Sean was too busy.

Missel looks at her boyfriend and sighs, she can read his thoughts, the powerful and mature individuals in her life has some weird quirks.

Wuk shares what he and Sean talked about, Jericho turns to the prodigies. "You guys are the most powerful younger generation of your family, you guys are more intelligent than someone like me, what do you think? Should we add something or revised the plan?"

The prodigies were surprised to hear him praising them and they can sense the sincerity of his tone.

Wuk looks at him, he hasn’t forgotten that both Sean and Jericho came from a normal family, him saying this comes from his heart.

Kommi and the others are silent, they can’t help but feel guilty, unlike Jericho, they can’t even do anything right.

"I think it’s better that we shouldn’t inform anyone and gathers them in batches so that those that are possessed wouldn’t be on guard."

The rest agrees to this plan, so does Jericho, their group are protected by Basic Cultivation Technique, making their spirit stronger than normal people and they are also always together, making it harder for the ghost to approach without being discovered.

Wuk turns towards a certain direction and frowns, he then tells everyone to prepare.

"There’s a Pseudo Innate amongst them, I’ll deal with them, in the meantime, have everyone defend, we can’t engage them at the moment, until we root out all the ghosts, tell everyone to stay inside!"

Liliaghant chases after him, shocking everyone, she looks at the battlefield and her eyes lights up after seeing a couple of trees.

She starts singing and the trees tremble, the world seems to synch with her singing as the trees transforms into large warriors.

She’s being assisted by the will of the world, dozens of Treants appears in the battlefield brimming with killing intent towards the undead.

Suddenly, her expression turns bewildered, she can’t control these Treants, as if, they just use her power to come alive and do the bidding of another entity.

She’s furious and she starts screaming and punching the air, Wuk looks at her reaction and realizes something.

This little sister of his is innocent, a perfect target for his pranks.

’Hmph! I’ll show you who’s not great at pranking!’ Wuk sneers.

Achoo! Jericho suddenly sneezes, confused as to how he’s still able to caught something with his rank.

Meanwhile, in his room, Sean frowns, he can’t help but feel that something bad will happen but it wasn’t malicious, as if, as if.

"Fxck! Don’t tell me that idiot is going to bully Liliaghant."

He can’t help but recall his time in Evergreen Shop, when he had to saved Wuk’s skin because the latter has angered the older Iron Monkeys.

"I wonder how he’s going to survive once he return to Beast World?"

Wuk hasn’t returned to Beast World for quite some time, if he knows that the plants there moved with Liliaghant’s will, he wouldn’t dare prank her but he’s clearly unaware.

"Hmph! Let him be, this will serve as a lesson for that mischievous monkey."

In the battlefield, the appearance of the Treants changes the supposed tense atmosphere, the undeads were being slaughtered like ants and just like them, the Treants are not afraid of death.

A bone dragon can be seen flying in the sky, it glares at the Treants and was about to fire a breath attack when it suddenly feels a powerful pressure propelling it to the ground.

Pressure!

BOOM!

The Bone Dragon crashes on the Treants and undeads, seeing it, the latter starts attacking it without hesitation.

BAM! CRASH!

The Treants were destroyed just by one attack from the Bone Dragon, it was about to take flight when a giant cudgel appears above it.

BOOM!

It was smashed to the ground by the cudgel, Wuk uses this opportunity to get close, he stands on top of it’s body and starts wacking it with his weapon.

No matter how tough the Bone Dragon’s body is, it can’t continue and it’s head was destroyed after a hundred blows.

With Sun Descent on it’s back, it was unable to recover.

"Hmph! I might not be a match against lesser Innates but this doesn’t include you!"

He grabs the dragon and was about to bring it to Sean when he suddenly feels a powerful strike behind.

BOOM!

He was blown to the city wall, he crashes into it, destroying it.

"Hmph! Even sneak attack can’t kill you, I will definitely turn you into an undead of my clan." The zombie king has returned.

Wuk was angry, this is the same fellow that humiliated him a couple of days ago.

Suddenly, Wuk realizes that his body is growing stronger all of a sudden.

Empower!

Reinforce!

Haste!

He turns to Liliaghant, she summoned a giant sunflower on her hand.

"What are these things?" The zombie king punches the Treants, destroying them in an instant.

Thrust!

BANG!

Suddenly, a cudgel appears when he least expected, it carries both Wuk’s power and the force of his sneak attack earlier.

"What a blow!" The zombie king laughs and grabs the cudgel but his expression changes when he feels the searing heat from the cudgel.

"Yang energy! I really hat-" His expression changes once again and he teleports away from his spot.

A ray burns a hole on the ground.

Liliaghant pouts, her attack missed.

Sun Ray!

"Blasted creatures!" The zombie was pissed off that he’s fighting someone that counters his innate energy.

Sean was also like that too, now, Liliaghant is also the same, not to mention.

Wuk was now facing him with his enhanced strength.

The zombie king suddenly smiles, he teleports into the city.

Liliaghant spreads her palm, creating a barrier in front of the city.

Crack!

Like a shattered mirror, the barrier breaks but it prevented the zombie king from teleporting directly to the city.

"Eh?" The zombie king was shocked, he didn’t expect that his teleportation would fail.

Multiple sharp branches were thrown towards him, he snorts and the branches fails to even hit him.

"So, it’s you!" He glares at the Liliaghant but before he can leap towards her, he suddenly feels the sky being heavy.
